Gu Muer let out a cry of surprise as she was about to be embraced by Wu Haihua. At that moment, an arm appeared and grabbed her.
"Du Zhong? Damn it, it's you again!"
Wu Haihua's face darkened, and he coldly shouted, "Don't meddle in other people's affairs! If you know what's good for you, get back to your security room!"
The sight of Du Zhong made his blood boil!
The reason he was so eager to get Gu Muer today was all because of Du Zhong!
Ever since Du Zhong arrived, he had been at a disadvantage in every aspect. If this continued, Gu Muer would drift further away from him and closer to this extremely hateful guy.
He would never allow this to happen!
If it weren't for the pressure from Du Zhong, he wouldn't have acted so rashly today.
Meanwhile, Gu Muer, who was tightly held by Wu Haihua, turned her head and looked at Du Zhong with a pleading gaze!
"You said it yourself, I'm the security captain of the hospital!"
Du Zhong sneered and looked at Wu Haihua with disdain, "In my jurisdiction, forcing someone is not allowed, especially when it comes to my roommate."
"Forced melons are never sweet. If she doesn't like you, why bother!"
For some reason, as soon as Du Zhong appeared, Gu Muer's heart calmed down, and her fear of Wu Haihua gradually disappeared!
She watched calmly as Du Zhong dealt with the situation.
Roommate!
It would have been better not to mention it. The mention of this word only added fuel to the fire, making Wu Haihua furious.
The thought of the woman he liked living with someone else made him angry!
"Du Zhong! Don't think that just because you have the title of security captain, you can play the hero! Others might be afraid of you, but I'm not! Get lost right now!"
As he spoke, Wu Haihua increased the force on his hand, trying to forcibly pull Gu Muer into his arms.
Seeing this, a cold light flashed in Du Zhong's eyes, and he took a step forward, grabbing Wu Haihua's hand!
He suddenly exerted force.
"Ouch—"
The immense strength from his wrist, accompanied by intense pain, made Wu Haihua involuntarily gasp. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from Du Zhong's grip.
Wu Haihua's face turned red with pain!
"Let go of me!"
Unable to withstand the pain in his wrist, Wu Haihua shouted angrily.
Du Zhong snorted and exerted more force.
Wu Haihua let out a cry of pain and was forced to release Gu Muer.
Du Zhong swung his arm and threw Wu Haihua to the side.
"Are you okay?"
Glancing at the disheveled Wu Haihua, Du Zhong asked Gu Muer.
Gu Muer's face turned slightly red. As she looked up at Du Zhong, her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly shouted, "Be careful!"
Behind Du Zhong, Wu Haihua, who had been thrown aside, swung his fist and charged at Du Zhong, aiming for the back of his head. It was about to hit Du Zhong's head.
Du Zhong laughed coldly!
What a presumptuous guy!
With a turn, before Wu Haihua's fist could land, Du Zhong's foot moved.
A blur flashed by, and Wu Haihua's face, which was filled with anger, suddenly changed, his mouth opening wide enough to fit a goose egg!
Sweat broke out on his face!
Lowering his head, what Wu Haihua saw was Du Zhong's right foot, which kicked him hard in the stomach!
"Get lost!"
With a cold shout, Du Zhong kicked Wu Haihua, sending him flying.
"You go first!"
Ignoring Wu Haihua, Du Zhong turned to Gu Muer and said.
Gu Muer glanced at Wu Haihua, her face showing a hint of pity, then looked at Du Zhong again.
"I hope this guy doesn't get killed by Du Zhong!"
She silently thought to herself, thanked Du Zhong, and ran into the hospital building.
After Gu Muer left, Du Zhong turned and glanced at the fallen Wu Haihua, sneering in disdain, then turned and left.
In Du Zhong's eyes, Wu Haihua was a despicable person, narrow-minded and weak.
Because of this, Du Zhong usually ignored Wu Haihua.
But Wu Haihua's repeated provocations made Du Zhong feel a growing anger.
If a tiger doesn't show its might, people will treat it like a sick cat!
Wu Haihua stood up, watching Du Zhong's retreating back, and shouted in a fit of rage, "Du Zhong, you wait! I won't let this go!"
Hearing Wu Haihua's shout, Du Zhong didn't turn around but curled his lips in a cold smile.
Seeing this, Wu Haihua clenched his teeth.
From the moment Du Zhong appeared, Wu Haihua felt a great threat, not only to Gu Muer but also to Old Qin, and even to his medical skills and future!
At first, Wu Haihua just wanted to get rid of Du Zhong from the hospital, but as Du Zhong displayed more and more outstanding abilities, the darkness in his heart grew.
Until yesterday, after following Old Qin home, the extremely resentful Wu Haihua went directly to his uncle.
Wu Haihua's uncle was a leader in the hospital. Although he didn't have as much power as the director, he had enough influence to kick Du Zhong out of the hospital.
However, when Wu Haihua asked his uncle to fire Du Zhong, his uncle's response completely dashed his hopes.
He clearly remembered what his uncle said at the time!
"I know you have some grudges with that security captain named Du Zhong, and I guessed you would come to me!"
"However, before you came to me, I had already tried to kick that guy out of the hospital, but you can see the result now!"
At that time, Wu Haihua was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Someone must be protecting him. With my current power, I can't get rid of him yet!"
This statement made Wu Haihua suspicious. A new security captain who didn't know anyone in the hospital, how could someone be secretly protecting him?
If things weren't as they seemed, then Du Zhong must have a powerful backer!
In other words, this guy's background was even stronger than his!
Wu Haihua was unwilling. After so many years in the hospital, he had finally become Old Qin's named disciple and had gotten closer to Gu Muer. How could he let Du Zhong destroy all his efforts?
With a grim expression, he watched Du Zhong's figure about to disappear from sight, and a malicious plan formed in his mind!
"It's your own fault, so don't blame me!"
His eyes twitched, and Wu Haihua spoke in a sinister tone, then grinned evilly.
On the other side, as soon as Du Zhong returned to the security room, he glared at the six security guards inside.
"Captain!"
Wang Hao stood up, noticing Du Zhong's stern expression, and quickly said, "We'll start training right away!"
As soon as he spoke, Wang Hao ran out, and the other five security guards followed suit.
"Stop!"
Just as the six stepped out of the security room, Du Zhong followed.
With a command, the six immediately stopped!
"Form up!"
Taking a few steps forward, Du Zhong scanned the six, who quickly lined up in a row.
"I will personally lead today's training!"
Du Zhong smiled and added, "Before training, can anyone tell me where you all were during your shift yesterday afternoon?"
Hearing this, the six, who were originally tense, relaxed.
Wang Hao, with a pleasing smile, said, "Yesterday, a big shot came to give you a banner. We discussed it and felt it was an honor for our security team. We've been looked down upon by those doctors for years, and this time we finally regained our dignity!"
"So?"
Du Zhong's expression changed, and he raised an eyebrow, "So, you all ran around the hospital building to boast about it, neglecting your work for the sake of so-called face?"
"This..." Wang Hao was speechless.
The others looked at each other, confused.
"Living a life, face is important, but more important is responsibility!"
Du Zhong said sternly, "We are men, the protectors of the hospital. If you can't even take responsibility, what kind of men and security guards are you?"
One sentence made the six blush.
Du Zhong knew that as the captain of the security team, his honor represented the entire team. Wang Hao and the others had good intentions for the team's collective honor, so he didn't scold them for making his affairs public.
"Ten kilometers of sprint!"
Seeing there was nothing more to say, Du Zhong gave the order.
The six immediately took off, running at full speed!
Fifteen minutes later, they returned, drenched in sweat.
"One hundred push-ups, and the slowest one runs another ten kilometers!"
Glancing at the six, Du Zhong said without a hint of mercy.
Hearing this, the six, though reluctant, had no choice but to start.
Wang Hao set an example, stopping at 99 push-ups and waiting for everyone to finish before doing the 100th. The reason was that his physical condition was better, and anyone else would collapse if they had to run another ten kilometers.
So he took the punishment himself.
Wang Hao's action earned the gratitude of the others.
Du Zhong, who had been watching, nodded in approval.
This was the kind of responsibility a man should have!
Outside the hospital, a group of thugs had gathered, marching toward the hospital with a menacing air...
After watching Wang Hao complete the ten kilometers, Du Zhong gave another speech, emphasizing that there must always be someone on duty in the security room, and no laziness would be tolerated.
As Du Zhong was speaking, a nurse rushed into the security room, her face full of anxiety.
"Bad news, bad news! Someone is causing trouble in the hospital!"
The nurse, looking terrified, shouted, "You'd better go and check it out!"
