Chai Yanyu's eyes darkened. He knew that this doctor probably looked down on Yuan Meng just because she was a young doctor. But did he forget that the doctor he looked down on had created multiple miracles at such a young age?
Following his words, Chai Yanyu asked, "So? Why does Dr. Sophia have to perform the surgery tomorrow?"
"She said that President Ling's condition can't afford to be delayed any longer. She even had the audacity to claim that she would take responsibility for everything. She's just a doctor. Naturally, she doesn't know how noble President Ling's status is!"
"Humph!"
Chai Yanyu sneered, "I trust Dr. Sophia's ability. At the same time, I'd like to say that doctors are supposed to save lives, not gossip behind people's backs! If you're tired of wearing that uniform, I don't mind helping you change into something else."
"Thank you, Young Master Chai. I think this uniform suits me well. Goodbye, Young Master."
Wang Lin hung up the phone, breaking out in a cold sweat.
That night in the hospital, Yuan Meng, who was busy preparing for the details of the surgery, was distracted by the suddenly lit-up screen of her phone.
She picked up the phone and glanced at the screen. It was a text message from Mu Ran, filled with a string of angry words and fire-emoji. It was not hard to tell how furious Mu Ran was just from these.
[Sis Ai! Why is Yan Ke'er so annoying!?]
[As soon as I don't cooperate with her, she threatens me by crying! I could knock out ten crybabies like her with one punch!]
[AAAAHHHH! She's at it again!!!]
[Can I just knock her out?]
[I promise I'll be gentle and let her sleep through the night!]
[Safe, no side effects, and she'll get enough sleep!]
Yuan Meng, "???"
How did those two end up together again?
[Help me, Sis Ai! I really can't hold it in anymore!]
[She cries so much!]
Yuan Meng, "..."
She quite agreed with Mu Ran. Yan Ke'er could cry more than even she could!
[Or should I just get rid of her once and for all?]
Yuan Meng, "!!!"
She was jolted. She quickly replied, [Don't be impulsive! We're law-abiding citizens. We can't do anything rash!]
[Hold on a little longer! I'll have Chai Yanyu go back right away!]
So that's why Yan Ke'er hadn't come to find her. Mu Ran had been tricked into taking her place!
That bastard Chai Yanyu! This was the stupid solution he came up with?
Imprisonment and tricking her people. Did he not want to live anymore?
Yuan Meng's eyes darkened, and clouds of anger swirled in her eyes. She immediately called Chai Yanyu.
The call was quickly answered.
"You need to get back right now!" Yuan Meng said without waiting for him to speak. Her voice was frosty.
This caught Chai Yanyu off guard. "Why?"
He hadn't done anything wrong today, right? He'd helped her get rid of Yu Luqing and Bei Mo. He'd also gotten rid of that Dr. En. He'd even stood up for her!
Even for Yan Ke'er, he'd made arrangements...
Wait—
Chai Yanyu thought for a moment and whispered, "Is Yan Ke'er causing trouble again?"
Yuan Meng, "..."
This bastard never looked for his own mistakes!
Yuan Meng's silence made Chai Yanyu a bit nervous. "No way. I made such perfect arrangements. Why is she still causing trouble?"
"Did you arrange for Mu Ran to pretend to be me?" Yuan Meng asked, knowing the answer.
"Yeah," Chai Yanyu thought his arrangement was perfect. "Didn't you ask me to find a way to deal with her? Mu Ran was the only solution I could think of that wouldn't harm Yan Ke'er."
There was even a hint of pride in his tone. "Don't worry. I've told Mu Ran. There won't be any problems. You just focus on taking care of my cousin these days..."
Yuan Meng interrupted him. "Who said it wouldn't harm Ke'er? She's about to die."
Chai Yanyu, "!?"
Mu Ran was a champion in Sanda and had the Yuan family and Yuan Meng as her backers. Yet Yan Ke'er could still die?
He was extremely shocked. "Can't even Mu Ran protect her? Why is she so troublesome?"
Yuan Meng took a deep breath and resisted the urge to go out and beat Chai Yanyu to death. "Mu Ran can't hold it in anymore. She wants to get rid of her."
Chai Yanyu, "..."
Damn it. He'd forgotten that the big sister had a short temper.
Yuan Meng rubbed her temples. "Stop stalling. Go back right away!"
Otherwise, they'd just have to prepare for Yan Ke'er's funeral!
Chai Yanyu fell silent for a moment. Then, there came his stuttering voice from the receiver. "What? What did you say? The signal here is bad. I can't hear you clearly! Hello? Can you hear me? Oh, this lousy signal. I'll hang up first. See you tomorrow!"
He didn't want to get involved in this mess at all.
Yuan Meng was both angry and amused by his poor acting. Before he hung up, she said, "Fine. If your cousin's surgery fails, don't blame me."
There was a hidden threat in her calm words, which made Chai Yanyu's face change instantly.
His voice immediately became steady. "Hey, wait! Just tell me what you want. The signal is good again!"
Yuan Meng sneered. "You've got ten minutes. If you're not back, get ready for your cousin's funeral!"
Chai Yanyu readily agreed. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll go back right now!"
Just before he hung up the phone, Yuan Meng spoke again. "Remember to pay Mu Ran for her performance. One million a day should be okay, right?"
One million? Why don't you just rob me!
Chai Yanyu complained in his heart but obediently said, "No problem, no problem. It's only right."
Yuan Meng hung up the phone in satisfaction.
The next afternoon, Yuan Meng, who was doing some preparatory work in her office, heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," she called out.
The next second, Yuan Meng turned around and looked towards the door.
Chai Yanyu pushed the door open and came into her sight.
When she saw his face clearly, Yuan Meng burst out laughing. "Hahaha!"
Serves him right! Always causing trouble!
"What are you laughing at!" Chai Yanyu touched the red, swollen, and bruised area on his cheek. "What's so funny? Aren't you a doctor? How come you have no sympathy at all when you see an injured person? You're even laughing."
"The combination of red, purple, and blue looks great!" Yuan Meng propped one hand on the table and covered her stomach with the other. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up, and tears were streaming down her face. "It seems like last night was quite eventful!"
Judging from the situation, Mu Ran must have also taken action!
He said Yan Ke'er was troublesome, but it was actually him who was always courting death, dancing on the edge of danger.
Chai Yanyu's face was not only red, purple, and blue but also covered in scratches. The handsome young master had been transformed into a hooligan who had been beaten for harassing women.
"You still have the nerve to laugh!" Chai Yanyu pouted, his tone full of grievance. "I went back to save Yan Ke'er as you asked, and this is how I ended up!"
While stealing glances at Yuan Meng from the corner of his eye, he covered his face and pretended to cry. "These days, there's no reward for doing good deeds. I'm so miserable. How can I go out and face people in the future!"
