Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 460: Reimbursement


Soon, Du Yan arrived, accompanied by several leaders of the hospital and some medical staff.

When they saw the scene in disarray, everyone was very tense.

After Du Yan arrived and saw Wang Hui sitting on the ground, he immediately glared at Ye Xiao standing beside her. In this place, Du Yan was most annoyed by Ye Xiao; the last time Ye Xiao had caused him embarrassment, Du Yan could hardly forget it for the rest of his life, and by coincidence, this guy was also the very petty type!

"Ye Xiao, this must have something to do with you!" Du Yan accused angrily.

Du Yan's words caused everyone's gaze to shift from the troublemaker, Wang Hui, to Ye Xiao.

Seeing Du Yan coming over and immediately starting to find trouble with Ye Xiao, Song Jiaqian retorted angrily, "Du Yan, what nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for Ye Xiao, I might already be dead. What Wang Hui is facing now is incarceration. We have surveillance here!"

Hearing Song Jiaqian's words, Du Yan immediately fell silent.

Seeing Du Yan blaming Ye Xiao, Wang Hui also started crying, saying, "It's my fault, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, sob..."

Although Du Yan felt some blame towards Wang Hui internally, he dared not voice it, and moreover, the car was a gift he had given to Wang Hui!

Ye Xiao and Tang Rong stood by the side, saying nothing, not even when Du Yan had just shouted at Ye Xiao.

At this moment, a security guard walked over, narrating Ye Xiao's heroic deed so vividly that the hospital's leadership immediately walked up to Ye Xiao.

"Young man, I am the Dean of Minghai City Hospital, Guo Dongfang, and I didn't expect someone as young as you to avert such disaster, it's really..."

However, Ye Xiao seemed unimpressed with these words, saying instead, "Dean Guo, yesterday the Guard Bureau brought in a gunshot victim. This lady is the daughter of the deceased. We are here to see the deceased."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Guo Dongfang immediately looked towards Tang Rong.

"Well, this is not something that can be casually visited!" Guo Dongfang expressed with a look of difficulty.

Tang Rong immediately turned to Guo Dongfang, pleading, "Dean Guo, please, I really want to see my father!"

Guo Dongfang sighed and said, "Alright, today we will make an exception for this young hero. Oh, by the way, young man, what is your surname?"

"No need for formalities, my surname is Ye, just call me Xiao Ye," Ye Xiao looked at Guo Dongfang and said earnestly.

Guo Dongfang, hearing Ye Xiao's words, immediately replied, "Xiao Ye, hello."

After Guo Dongfang said this, he suddenly felt that something was amiss but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

Others who heard Guo Dongfang's response wanted to laugh.

Xiao Ye—if you didn't know better, you might think it was "Little Master"!

"Dean Guo, can we proceed now?" Ye Xiao asked Guo Dongfang.

"Today, you saved our hospital from significant losses, and your car was damaged as well. We are deeply sorry about that. Let's first discuss the compensation," Guo Dongfang felt that Ye Xiao would certainly want compensation, which would be perfectly reasonable since the car was indeed hit by Wang Hui, a medical staff member of Minghai City Hospital.

However, after hearing Guo Dongfang's words, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Dean Guo, you're too kind. I've been wanting to replace that car for a while now. It just so happens I can get a new one now, so let's forget about the compensation issue. I've already told you our purpose for coming. You should understand the feelings of a little girl who has just lost her father."

Guo Dongfang nodded and said, "I will have someone accompany you there. After you visit, we can talk."

"Dean Guo is really too polite. I've already said, let's just consider the matter closed!" Ye Xiao said, not too lightly, not too heavily, and then turned to Song Jiaqian, "Nurse Song, please come with us."

Song Jiaqian immediately moved next to Ye Xiao and addressed Guo Dongfang, "Dean, I will accompany them."

Who Song Jiaqian was, of course, Guo Dongfang knew. As the head of Minghai City Hospital, if he didn't even know who Song Jiaqian was, he might as well not be the head at all!

If it weren't for Song Jiaqian's sake, he might not have bothered with so much talk with Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing Song Jiaqian's offer, Guo Dongfang quickly agreed, "Alright, then please take Nurse Song with you!"

"Yes, Dean," Song Jiaqian said.

Afterward, Song Jiaqian told Guo Dongfang that she had already called the police, and they would arrive soon.

Guo Dongfang was clearly displeased at the news of the police being called, but he didn't dare say half a word to Song Jiaqian.

Ye Xiao, Song Jiaqian, and Tang Rong went to the morgue!

The morgue was off-limits to idle people within the hospital; after all, no one casually ventured there. Though many did not believe in superstitions, who would dare trespass in a place where the dead were kept?

Although Song Jiaqian worked at the hospital, this was indeed her first visit to the morgue!

Therefore, when she approached the morgue, Ye Xiao noticed that Song Jiaqian's expression was somewhat unusual.

Tang Rong's complexion also turned pale with fear as they drew near the morgue. She knew what kind of place it was and would never have come if it weren't for her desire to see her father one last time.

"Qianqian, you can just wait outside; there's no need for you to go in," Ye Xiao kindly said to Song Jiaqian.

Song Jiaqian was more than willing, so upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, she immediately nodded like a pecking hen and said, "Be careful!"

Ye Xiao just smiled slightly without saying anything!

He was the last person to believe in ghosts. It was simple—if ghosts really existed, the many people he had killed would surely have surrounded him by now!

Ye Xiao and Tang Rong entered the morgue, which had its own dedicated staff. After learning their purpose, the attendant led them to where Tang Rong's father lay. Perhaps because his body had been processed, his face did not look too bad—after all, once a person is dead, the blood no longer circulates!

When Ye Xiao and Tang Rong walked out again, Tang Rong's face was deathly white.

"Rongrong, are you all right?" Song Jiaqian rushed over to ask when she saw Tang Rong's pale face as they emerged from the morgue.

Tang Rong only shook her head silently.

Clearly, the morgue was not a pleasant place, and Tang Rong was very frightened. She had gone in only because she truly wanted to see her father.

Of course, Tang Rong never imagined that this would be the last time she'd see her father.

"How will you deal with your car?" Song Jiaqian asked Ye Xiao as they left the morgue.

Hearing her question, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered the car. It wasn't as if it was something one bought without caring; his car had been hit and wasn't drivable, yet Ye Xiao had reacted as if nothing had happened!

Now, reminded by Song Jiaqian, Ye Xiao thought it might be wise to call Ling Hengyu or Weei Jie—perhaps the car was insured!

In the end, Ye Xiao decided to call Weei Jie.

"Ye Xiao, what made you think to call me at this time? Is Miss Ling all right?" Upon answering the phone, Weei Jie immediately spoke to Ye Xiao with a chuckle.

Following the events of the previous day, Weei Jie paid even greater attention to Ye Xiao. In fact, after Ye Xiao left yesterday evening, Weei Jie returned to the Yu Sha cold storage, where Ye Xiao had found Li Dachong dead, his body half-buried in the ground—an act that was clearly not the work of any ordinary strength.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Uncle Weei, Shuya's fine, but I ran into some trouble with the car—it's damaged."

"Damaged?" Weei Jie was puzzled when he heard Ye Xiao's words. He trusted Ye Xiao's driving skills, so how could the car be damaged?

"What happened?"

"My car was hit; I'm currently at Minghai City Hospital," explained Ye Xiao.

Upon hearing this, Weei Jie's brow furrowed, and he quickly asked, "Why are you there? Is anyone hurt?"

"No, nobody's hurt. It happened in the parking lot. What I mean is, what about getting a replacement car? The Q Rui was a bit fragile," said Ye Xiao.

In truth, it had been Ye Xiao's choice to get a Q Rui.

For Ye Xiao, the Q Rui wasn't fragile; it was just that its space was too limited. He was increasingly realizing that the Q Rui often didn't cut it.

"Oh?" Weei Jie laughed. "Alright, I'll pick up a Mercedes for you later."

"No need, no need. How about this—get a Jiancheng C50. It has more space and is more collision-resistant than the Q Rui," Ye Xiao suggested.

Weei Jie became even more perplexed upon hearing Ye Xiao's request. Clearly able to drive a nice car, why always opt for the cheaper ones? Was this guy trying to support domestic products? Although Weei Jie thought this, he didn't say it out loud. If Ye Xiao wanted such a car, so be it. After all, according to his and Ling Hengyu's intentions, they would've provided at least a car worth around one and a half million to shuttle Ling Shuya to school, yet Ye Xiao's first request was a Q Rui valued at no more than sixty thousand. Now, at least he was raising the bar, but the value was still no more than a hundred thousand, a far cry from the one and a half million!

"Fine, but Ye Xiao, you must ensure Miss Ling's safety!" urged Weei Jie.

Ye Xiao replied, "Of course, I'm Ling Shuya's bodyguard; it's my job to ensure her safety. I won't keep you, Uncle Weei—I've got things to handle. How about this; I'll buy the car, and the company can reimburse me later, okay?"

Weei Jie, realizing this would save him from running the errand himself, agreed, "That works. After all, I wouldn't know what color you'd like. You'll get a temporary license; use that first. I'll handle the official plates, or you could use the previous ones."
