Chapter 68: Reinforcements Have Arrived
Chapter 68: Reinforcements Have Arrived
Zhao Jinhai’s eyes were full of hatred, "Smash the plaque, you’re dreaming, kid. You’ve come here to cause trouble, I won’t let you go. I’m going to break one of your hands."
Xu Xiangbei smiled, so many people are so irritable these days, always wanting to break my hand? Two people have said this before, Chen Ban City mentioned getting his hand broken, and so did Ah Jun, and now Zhao Jinhai is also saying it.
Sitting quietly on the side without speaking, Zhao Changgui sighed softly and listlessly left the clinic’s lobby, "My sign has already been smashed, doesn’t matter about the plaque anymore."
Seeing the empty clinic, Zhao Jinhai finally understood that Xu Xiangbei had already smashed the Tongren Clinic’s sign. The reputation Zhao Changgui had built over decades was destroyed, and Tongren Clinic would be disgraced, with very few people likely seeking treatment there again.
Xu Xiangbei raised an eyebrow, grinning, "Dr. Zhao, you’re a sensible person. Since the sign is already smashed, the plaque doesn’t matter either. Anyway, if it falls and smashes up some plants or insects, it wouldn’t be good. But I remember, how are you going to pay back the 50 slaps you owe me?"
Zhang Xiaoli was so scared her face turned pale. She had seen Xu Xiangbei’s tactics; several burly men couldn’t beat him, and she, just a small woman, wouldn’t stand a chance against his little finger.
Zhao Jinhai saw Zhang Xiaoli was at a disadvantage and quickly stood in front of her, gritting his teeth in hatred, but didn’t dare get too close to Xu Xiangbei, "Kid, you dared to smash our Tongren Clinic’s sign, you’re dead. If you have guts, don’t leave."
As he spoke, he glanced toward the door, mumbling to himself, the people I called should have arrived by now.
Xu Xiangbei saw through Zhao Jinhai’s thoughts, "Oh, I didn’t say I was leaving. Not letting me go, do you want to invite me for a meal?"
At that moment, two vans sped to the entrance of the Tongren Clinic, and over ten men in black jumped out, led by a bald man with a grotesque scar on his face, none other than Chen Tianba, the second-in-command under Chen Ban City.
The men in black swiftly surrounded the Tongren Clinic tightly. While Xu Xiangbei was treating Ding Yong, Zhao Jinhai secretly called Chen Tianba.
Hearing the noise behind him, Xu Xiangbei squinted and smiled, "Oh, I see you’re playing dirty tricks, you’re really bad."
Seeing the reinforcements arrive, Zhao Jinhai’s courage grew, he laughed wildly, "The people I called are here, you’re dead, dumbstruck, still laughing, soon you won’t have time to cry."
Seeing bald-headed Chen Tianba, Zhang Xiaoli looked like a bride seeing her family, tears of grievance filled her eyes. She ran over to grab Chen Tianba’s arm, pressing her whole chest against him, "Brother Tianba, you’re finally here, someone’s causing trouble at our Tongren Clinic, bullying me."
Zhao Jinhai saw Zhang Xiaoli clinging to Chen Tianba’s side, showing a bit of jealousy, but since Chen Tianba came for his matter, let him take some advantage if he wants.
He pointed at Xu Xiangbei, "Brother Tianba, it’s this kid."
Xu Xiangbei stood with his back to Chen Tianba, completely ignoring him.
Chen Tianba saw a young man with his back to him, not recognizing Xu Xiangbei, glared, the scar on his face turning terrifying like a red earthworm, and yelled viciously, "Who’s so bold to dare smash the Tongren Clinic’s sign, seeking death?"
Xu Xiangbei slowly turned around, his face full of a cold smile, "You got it wrong, it’s not about to smash the sign, it’s already smashed."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei, Chen Tianba was frozen in place, his face’s scar twitching violently.
Zhang Xiaoli hadn’t noticed Chen Tianba’s face turning grim, still adding fuel to the fire, coquettishly, "Brother Tianba, it’s this kid bullying me. This kid is a bit sneaky, our security guards were all defeated by him, only you, Brother Tianba, can deal with him. Brother Tianba, what’s wrong with you?"
Zhang Xiaoli twisted her slim waist, trying to grab Chen Tianba’s hand, but he roughly pushed her aside, almost hitting a pillar.
Just as Zhao Jinhai wanted to ask why Chen Tianba pushed Zhang Xiaoli, he was scared into silence by a glare from Chen Tianba.
Chen Tianba tried to be amiable to ease the tension, but his face’s scar kept twitching, making him look even uglier, "So it’s you, Xu Xiangbei."
Xu Xiangbei raised his eyebrows, grinning like a hooligan teasing a girl, mimicking Zhang Xiaoli’s coy voice, "It’s me, ah, meeting again, Brother Tianba."
Chen Tianba couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside, memories of being brutally beaten by Xu Xiangbei flashed through his mind, a chill rising from his back, cold sweat covered his forehead.
He regretted taking Zhao Jinhai’s call today, as he really didn’t want to face Xu Xiangbei.
He swallowed his pride and said, "I heard there was trouble here, just came by to check. If I’d known it was you, I wouldn’t have come."
"How can that be, my Brother Tianba, I was waiting for you to deal with me."
Chen Tianba’s mind raced on how to escape, his eyes flickered as he shouted to his men, "Oops, I almost forgot, I left something on the stove at home, need to rush back and turn it off. Xu Xiangbei, see you."
Zhao Jinhai and Zhang Xiaoli were stunned. Chen Tianba had come in full force, but upon seeing Xu Xiangbei, he shrank back into a turtle shell. It’s over, it’s really over now.
Chen Tianba just turned to leave but was called back by Xu Xiangbei, "Wait, did I tell you to leave?"
Thinking today’s matter couldn’t end well, Chen Tianba braced himself and asked, "Xu Xiangbei, what do you want?"
Xu Xiangbei pulled out an empty cigarette pack from his pocket, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it on the ground, "I’m out of smokes, it’s tough not having any cigarettes."
Chen Tianba, although looking tough, had a meticulous mind. He caught the hidden meaning in Xu Xiangbei’s words and quickly took out a box of Zhonghua cigarettes, respectfully handing it over, lighting one for Xu Xiangbei.
Caressing the finely crafted cigarette box, Xu Xiangbei had a look of longing on his face, "Oh, high-end cigarettes, even the boxes look nice."
"Please take them, I have more."
Xu Xiangbei had a sly smile, "Smart, since you’re so obedient, I’ll waive the admission fee."
Feeling relieved, Chen Tianba wiped the sweat from his forehead, cursing silently. Still trying to rob us, shameless, lucky for me I only carry enough money for use nowadays.
"Can I leave now?"
"What’s the hurry, help me with another task."
Doubtfully looking at Xu Xiangbei, Chen Tianba didn’t know what trick Xu Xiangbei was up to, "Help? With your skills, what could you need my help with? You must be joking."
Xu Xiangbei put on a serious face, "Really need your help."
While they were talking, a girl’s voice piped up, "The cops are here, I’ve called the police, if you don’t leave now, they’ll arrest you."
Xu Xiangbei recognized it as Ding Keke’s voice. Ding Keke squeezed through the crowd, rushing to Xu Xiangbei’s side, relieved to see he was unharmed.
