Chapter 19 You little rascal
Soon after, Zhao Donglai was caught in a deadly series of entanglements. His pager kept ringing, and Zhang Zheng urged him to return to the police station.
"Reporter Ye, please pull over to the side of the road. I have urgent business at the police station."
Ye Xuan slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a stop.
Zhao Donglai hurriedly opened the car door and got out. "Qi Tongwei, I'm going back now to clean up your mess. Good luck to you."
"Donglai, remember to bring extra toilet paper tomorrow, so I don't have to wipe my own bottom."
You're really sick.
Ye Xuan stepped on the gas and drove off. "Qi Tongwei, I suggest you see a psychiatrist later. Maybe you have some kind of bipolar disorder."
Qi Tongwei looked completely innocent, "I think my emotions have been very stable."
I think you're just fooling yourself.
"Yes, I've always enjoyed lying to others."
You're really sick.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Qi Tongwei had just gotten out of the car when a young woman, clutching her stomach and sweating profusely from the pain, collapsed in front of him.
Holy crap, system, are you sure you've brought me luck?
Qi Tongwei quickly picked up the woman and rushed into the hospital.
"Doctor, doctor, someone has fainted! Please take a look!"
"Sir, please don't rush, come with me."
Guided by the nurse, Qi Tongwei placed the woman on the emergency room bed.
A doctor rushed over and examined her.
"Acute appendicitis, requires immediate surgery, you need to go pay the fees right away."
Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, Qi Tongwei comforted himself by paying the 1,000 yuan fee.
The injury to my arm wasn't serious; I just applied some medicine and bandaged it up.
Qi Tongwei and the others waited outside the operating room, knowing they could only see him off to the very end.
Ye Xuan handed him a bottle of mineral water, saying, "You're worried about the medical expenses."
Qi Tongwei took the water and drank a big gulp. He was indeed a bit thirsty, after all, he had been spraying water for so long.
"Reporter Ye, with my current wealth, would I care about such a small amount of medical expenses?"
"Keep pretending, look how furrowed your brow is."
Ye Xuan felt very satisfied with having Qi Tongwei under her control.
At this moment, Qi Tongwei had to put on a performance worthy of an award-winning actor.
He immediately put on a sad expression.
"Look at that woman, so young, leaving her hometown to work in a strange city, and now she's sick and no one's even come to the hospital with her. If I were her parents, I don't know how heartbroken I would be."
Women are made of water, and Ye Xuan's heart was instantly touched, feeling a sudden tightness in her chest.
Yes, as women, their fates are worlds apart. She has lived a life of luxury since childhood and has never worried about survival.
Even if someone is admitted to the hospital, a single phone call from their family will require the hospital director to personally intervene.
This young woman clearly didn't have much money. If she hadn't met Qi Tongwei, would the hospital have treated her?
"I need Dr. Liu to perform the surgery. Get him out here right now."
Just as Qi Tongwei was about to perform another tear-jerking, tragic scene, a loudly shouting woman interrupted him.
"Mrs. Guo, Dr. Liu is performing surgery right now. It's just a minor appendectomy and won't delay your loved one's surgery."
The head nurse patiently explained that Mrs. Guo had permed her hair and looked quite fashionable.
"I want to see just who is insisting that Dr. Liu perform the surgery."
Mrs. Guo persisted relentlessly, raising her voice higher and higher.
"Mrs. Guo, please wait patiently outside the operating room as loud noises are not permitted."
The head nurse had a fawning smile on her face; it seemed this Mrs. Guo had quite a background.
"What's wrong with me making a fuss? Dr. Liu can only operate on my sister today. Call him out right now!"
Ye Xuan couldn't stand Mrs. Guo's unreasonable and domineering behavior any longer.
"Ma'am, please keep your voice down so as not to disturb the doctor's surgery."
Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan. "Madam? Does she think she's a foreigner? We've seen plenty of women like you in Shanghai, all throwing themselves at foreigners. It's shameful."
Qi Tongwei suppressed a laugh, thinking, "Be careful, she might call you a country bumpkin."
Ye Xuan was furious. "Mrs. Guo, I'm a television reporter, not the kind of woman you're describing. Please watch your mouth."
"Oh, so what if you're a reporter? You just spout nonsense in the newspapers all day long."
Mrs. Guo's sarcastic tone could drive anyone crazy.
Ye Xuan is still too young; she's completely helpless against this kind of shrew.
Qi Tongwei pulled her behind him and said sarcastically, "Oh, Mrs. Guo, it seems we don't have the custom of taking the husband's surname in our country. Is your husband a real foreigner or a fake one?"
Ye Xuan almost laughed. Qi Tongwei's mouth was really sharp, and it didn't discriminate between men and women.
Mrs. Guo immediately bristled like a rooster, "You little rascal, are you out of your mind? My husband is the president of the court, it'll scare you to death if I told you!"
Qi Tongwei took a step back and clapped his hands. "So scary, so scary. I don't think there's a president or vice president in the court named Guo."
The word "deputy" was pronounced in a particularly sarcastic and unpleasant way.
Mrs. Guo was furious. "You little brat, who do you think you are? If you've got the guts, tell me where you work. I bet you don't even know what a workplace looks like. You're just an unemployed bum or a drifter, aren't you?"
Wow, this old whore has quite a sharp tongue.
Qi Tongwei quickly restrained himself, inadvertently revealing the arguing skills of people from Sichuan and Chongqing.
He proudly presented his prosecutor's badge to Mrs. Guo.
"Open your dog eyes and stop looking down on people! I'm a prosecutor from the procuratorate."
So what if he's a young prosecutor? Mrs. Guo doesn't take him seriously at all.
"Hey, you little rascal, I bet you snuck in here as a gigolo, didn't you?"
Qi Tongwei chuckled, "Mrs. Guo, you know about gigolos? I've heard there are a lot of them in Shanghai. You didn't cheat on Dean Guo with someone, did you?"
Ye Xuan couldn't help but laugh so hard she bent over. This Qi Tongwei was too shameless.
"Young man, how can you talk so carelessly at such a young age? Mrs. Guo, don't take it to heart. Dr. Liu will be out soon."
The head nurse quickly stepped in to smooth things over; one was from the procuratorate, and the other was a reporter—both were people she couldn't afford to offend.
Mrs. Guo was indeed speechless with anger at Qi Tongwei for a moment, but once she recovered, she was unwilling to admit defeat.
"You little bastard, you worthless dog who was born but never raised, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Guo reached out to grab Qi Tongwei, but the head nurse quickly grabbed her.
Qi Tongwei took a step back. "Oh, oh, oh, knowing you're in the wrong, you're starting to act like a slut and try to extort money. Everyone, be my witnesses, this old lady hit me first!"
The old lady, yet another sharp-tongued remark.
Those watching the spectacle couldn't help but laugh.
"You little rascal, you've got a sharp tongue. I'll have your boss fire you tomorrow."
Mrs. Guo was so angry she was panting. She had never been so humiliated. Her husband was the vice president of the court; who would dare offend her?
Qi Tongwei immediately adopted a serious demeanor and took out his prosecutor's badge.
Ye Xuan couldn't bear to watch anymore; how could a grown man be so dramatic?
"Mrs. Guo, let me explain the meaning of the word 'prosecutor' to you now. Even if your husband is the vice president of the court, holding a high position and wielding great power, if he dares to embezzle or accept bribes, I can still send him to prison."
The words "embezzlement and bribery, going to jail" immediately frightened Mrs. Guo, since Vice President Guo did indeed bring money home in large bundles, including gold bars and US dollars.
"You little rascal, don't try to scare me."
Mrs. Guo's tone was noticeably timid; the confidence she had when she was greedy for money was completely different from when she wasn't.
