Chapter 6

The man was alive.

The professional medical troublemakers were stunned, never expecting that the old man would actually be revived by this young man. How was this farce going to end?

Gumu looked at Duzhong with eyes full of curiosity, wondering how Duzhong knew the old man wasn't dead and how he knew how to treat him.

"Yay! Big Brother, you're amazing!"

Duyuhe looked at Duzhong with admiration, making Duzhong feel a bit embarrassed.

"How did I end up here?"

The old man looked around, dazed.

"Father, what happened? Why did you suddenly pass out? Did you take any medicine?" The middle-aged man still suspected a medical accident.

"No! I didn't take any medicine. I just lay on the bed, couldn't catch my breath, and then I knew nothing."

The old man's words made the family members and the troublemakers exchange glances, realizing it wasn't the hospital's fault.

But the nurses, who had been wrongly accused, looked at the troublemakers with anger.

"Thank you for saving my father."

The middle-aged man sincerely thanked Duzhong, acknowledging that the troublemakers had acted out of desperation, and it was best that the old man was fine.

"It was nothing." Duzhong nodded slightly, pointing to the mess around and the bloodied doctors. "What about this?"

"This... we'll pay for it." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.

Duzhong nodded in satisfaction and stepped back.

But Wang Liu, who had been caught earlier, was not willing to let it go. He couldn't believe that after all his trouble, the matter was resolved peacefully, and he didn't get any compensation. How could he get his cut?

And it was all because of this kid!

"Kid, you're really arrogant! Just wait and see!"

Wang Liu dialed a number. "Brother Han, it's me, Wang Liu. There's a tough one at the hospital. I hope you can handle it."

"What tough one can't I handle?" Zhang Han thought to himself, wondering if the tough one Wang Liu encountered could compare to the one he faced yesterday afternoon, which still left his arm aching.

"It's a young man, very fast, and his moves are ruthless!"

"Fast and ruthless young man?"

Zhang Han frowned, suddenly remembering something. He jumped up from the sofa and asked urgently, "Describe him to me."

Wang Liu gave a brief description of Duzhong, and on the other end, Liu Han was already sweating profusely, his back drenched.

He couldn't believe that the killer had come to the hospital and even got into a conflict with his people.

"Apologize immediately! If you don't get forgiveness, you're on your own!"

Zhang Han shouted and angrily hung up.

Wang Liu, still confused, suddenly changed his attitude when he came to his senses. He looked at Duzhong with a completely different expression, the first time he had seen someone who could scare the boss so much.

Even Kaisuanfang's brother didn't have this kind of power.

In the next moment, everyone was shocked.

Wang Liu, who had been arrogant a moment ago, now bowed and groveled before Duzhong.

"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't recognize your greatness. Please forgive me!"

Saying this, Wang Liu slapped himself hard several times.

Everyone's perception of Duzhong changed. The troublemakers' family members now saw him as a mysterious and unfathomable figure, someone who could make a gang leader bow and apologize. What kind of person was he?

The nurses were also shocked, and Gumu, who was frowning, looked at Duyuhe, who shrugged, indicating she didn't know her brother was so capable.

Duzhong had already heard the conversation on the phone and said to Wang Liu, "Get lost."

"Okay! I'll leave right away! Right away!"

Wang Liu and his group fled without even taking off their mourning clothes.

The troublemakers' family members paid the compensation and left. A major medical troublemaking incident, which the hospital didn't dare to handle, was easily resolved by Duzhong.

"Good job, young man."

After the family members left, an elderly man in a simple doctor's coat appeared. He looked to be in his sixties, with a ruddy complexion, white hair, and sharp eyes. His life experience seemed to have given him the ability to see through things.

No one knew when he arrived, but Duzhong clearly saw that he had been there since Gumu arrived.

"Old Qin, you're here."

Gumu greeted him respectfully, and the nurses, including Duyuhe, also greeted him respectfully.

Old Qin was a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the affiliated hospital, highly respected. He waved his hand and smiled at Duzhong, asking, "Was the technique you used just now a military technique?"

Duzhong nodded.

Special forces have specialized courses to teach them how to save lives and themselves.

"Good technique. I've never seen anyone use this technique so skillfully and accurately. You must be quite capable, young man." Old Qin continued to smile.

Duzhong smiled slightly, not committing to an answer.

But the old man's words made Duzhong look at him with more respect. The military technique was said to be created by a high-level expert for the military, and this old man could recognize it at first glance, showing his familiarity with its history.

"This is no ordinary person."

Duzhong quickly formed a rough impression of Old Qin.

"Do you have a job, young man?" Old Qin suddenly asked a puzzling question.

"Not yet."

"Perfect. How about coming to our hospital? The hospital needs someone with your skills and a strong background to deter professional troublemakers. How about being the head of the security department? Can you accept this position? It will also help you protect your sister until you find a better job." Old Qin looked at Duzhong calmly.

Duzhong frowned. Others might think the old man was being disrespectful, but he sensed there was more to his words. After a moment of silence, he said, "My sister is finishing her internship today and returning to school, so she doesn't need my protection anymore."

"But, I accept."

Old Qin's question and Duzhong's response surprised everyone.

Old Qin nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Young man, come to the 13th floor when you have time."

"Sure, I will."

With Duzhong's agreement, Old Qin entered the elevator and left.

Duzhong smiled, sensing the old man's approval. He had agreed because he thought it would be beneficial to learn medicine from Old Qin until he found Qin Kaiyuan, and he needed a job to support himself.

"Brother, how did the ancestral hall issue go?"

Duyuhe suddenly jumped in front of Duzhong. With the troublemakers' issue resolved, she returned to her usual lively self.

"It's temporarily resolved. They won't dare to act rashly in the short term," Duzhong said.

"Then..." Duyuhe's eyes twinkled, pretending to be casual, "Since the ancestral hall is fine, it's not a good idea for you to keep living there. Why don't you stay with me? I'm about to move back to school anyway."

Before Duzhong could respond, Gumu, with a cold look, said, "Yuhe, what are you trying to do?"

Duzhong, looking at the beautiful woman who was even more appealing when angry, didn't understand her reaction.

Duyuhe pleaded innocently, "Sister Gumu, look how pitiful my brother is, with no place to stay. I'm moving out, so why don't you let him move in with me? Look, my brother is a gentleman and a capable protector. It would be reassuring to have him around."

"No, I prefer living alone. I like peace and quiet," Gumu firmly refused, though she had a good impression of Duzhong, it didn't mean she would allow a stranger to live with her!

Duyuhe immediately tried to win Gumu over with her innocent and pitiful act.

Duzhong, watching the two women whispering and occasionally pointing at Duyuhe, couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a novice in relationships, he couldn't understand Duyuhe's intentions but thought living with a beautiful woman would be nice, even though she didn't agree.

"No, I don't agree."

Gumu's firm refusal ended the conversation, leaving Duyuhe feeling defeated and wronged.

Seeing his sister's expression, Duzhong smiled and shook his head. Just as he was about to say something, the elevator opened, and a young, handsome doctor rushed over, looking for something. His eyes lit up when he saw Gumu.

"Mumu, I heard you came to handle the troublemakers. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?" He examined Gumu carefully.

Duzhong noticed that Gumu and Duyuhe looked at the young, handsome doctor with obvious disgust.

"I'm fine."

Gumu suddenly turned to Duyuhe and said, "I agree to what you said earlier."

"Ah?"

Duyuhe was taken aback for a moment but quickly hugged Gumu and cheered, "Thank you, Sister Gumu! Brother, after work, let's move your things to our place. You can stay in my room, and you must protect Sister Gumu well."

"What??"

The young, handsome doctor was shocked. "Mumu, he's going to live with you?"

"Yes," Gumu nodded.

"No! Absolutely not!"

The young, handsome doctor's face turned extremely ugly. He couldn't imagine what might happen with a stranger living under the same roof as his ideal goddess.

"Who is he? Do you know him well? If not, how can you bring him home? What if he's a bad person? Isn't that inviting a wolf into your home?"

Duzhong frowned.

"Wu Haihua, what do you mean? He's my brother, how can he be a bad person?" Duyuhe immediately stood up to defend Duzhong.

"Your brother?"

Wu Haihua was stunned, not knowing that Duyuhe had a brother.

"Even so, it's not acceptable," he said firmly.

"This isn't your decision, it's mine and Sister Gumu's!" Duyuhe said angrily.

"Right, after work, take him to your place. I'll go back to my department now."

Gumu said, leaving without even looking at Duzhong.

Wu Haihua glared at Duzhong with jealousy and hatred before leaving.

Duzhong saw the envy and resentment in his eyes, which made him smile. In another battlefield, those who showed him such looks were already dead.
