Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 732: He is My Friend


Yan Luo really didn't know why at this moment his heart so strongly believed in Ye Xiao. He stared deeply into Ye Xiao's eyes and, at this moment, it seemed to Yan Luo that he had an astonishing thought: the man before him was omnipotent.

Could there really be such an omnipotent person in this world? Really? Yan Luo didn't even believe it himself; in fact, not just Yan Luo, no one would believe it. Yet, at this time, Yan Luo truly did believe. He felt that Ye Xiao was that omnipotent person, someone who could free him from his dire straits.

Yan Luo had hesitated. His hesitation stemmed from listening to Ye Xiao's words last night which had led to him losing his job. He had even regretted it, but, in this moment, he felt so exposed to danger because he had almost lost the trust of the man before him. Yan Luo now saw Ye Xiao as truly majestic and towering.

"I believe in you!" Yan Luo said to Ye Xiao, his face sincere.

Yan Luo's expression, along with his previous shouts, had already drawn the attention of the people around. Consequently, patients and visitors alike were all craning their necks to see.

A smile like sunshine breaking through clouds appeared on Ye Xiao's face as he looked at Yan Luo and said, "Then go and tell the doctor who just spoke to you, tell him that you're transferring hospitals now. Moreover, have him help you contact State Hospital. If he looks down on you, then turn his eyes into a panda's eyes for me. And if he still looks down on you, completely take him down."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yan Luo was genuinely stunned. The Ye Xiao in his eyes at this moment was no longer the chuckling driver Ye Xiao, but a mysterious person exuding a daunting presence.

"Yes!" Under Ye Xiao's faint smile and immense pressure, Yan Luo felt as if in this moment, aside from responding with 'yes', he could not possibly utter any word or phrase of opposition.

Yan Luo, as if mentally controlled by Ye Xiao, quickly proceeded to the office of the doctor who had previously spoken to him.

"What's it going to be? Have you thought it through?" the doctor glanced at Yan Luo, his eyes full of disdain. In the doctor's view, Yan Luo was just a poor man—no money yet seeking treatment in the hospital?

What the doctor had been implying all along by telling Yan Luo to transfer his mother to another hospital was essentially that he could take her home and prepare for her end. After all, in this doctor's opinion, Yan Luo absolutely couldn't afford the expense.

"Yes." Yan Luo approached the doctor.

The doctor said, "Since that's the case, then tell me which hospital you want to transfer to."

"State Hospital." Yan Luo said coldly.

Upon hearing Yan Luo's response, the doctor immediately looked up at him and laughed softly, "What did you say? State Hospital? Are you mistaken? Do you even know what sort of place State Hospital is?"

"What, do you look down on me?" Yan Luo continued coldly.

The doctor looked at Yan Luo, noted his icy expression, and was even more annoyed; he thought to himself, "A stinking poor man still wants to act tough here?" The cost of treatment at State Hospital would probably be more than this stinking poor man had ever seen in his life.

"I'm not looking down on you, rather, you simply lack the ability," the doctor said. Although he claimed it wasn't disdain, his expression clearly conveyed to Yan Luo that indeed, he was looking down on him.

So, Yan Luo walked around the doctor's desk and advanced toward him.

"What... what do you want to do? I'm warning you, this is a hospital," the doctor roared at Yan Luo, now sensing the danger, because he could deeply feel that the Yan Luo before him was completely different from before.

Before, Yan Luo had been begging, but now he truly resembled King Yanluo coming to claim a life.

Without another word, Yan Luo swung his fist furiously at the doctor's eyes. It was a punch that was both urgent and swift, guaranteed to blind for a week if it landed on the doctor's eyes.

But just then, a voice came from the door.

"Stop!"

As the voice echoed, Yan Luo also halted. His fist didn't make contact with the doctor, but the doctor deeply felt the danger; he was sure that a blade-like gust of wind had whizzed past his face.

The doctor was terrified beyond belief, but he still instinctively looked toward the person at the door.

The person at the door came in and then closed the office door behind him.

There were now only three people in the room—Ye Xiao, Yan Luo, and the doctor. As for patients, as mentioned before, this hospital was really not thriving.

"Who are you?" the doctor, though somewhat narrow-minded, could not ignore that the person who had just entered, even if he had been hit by the punch, was no ordinary man. He had also closed the door.

Ye Xiao looked at Yan Luo, full of admiration, then said to the doctor, "His friend!"

Ye Xiao had told Yan Luo to go hit someone, but was that really what Ye Xiao intended? Clearly, that was not the case. Although Ye Xiao often resolved issues with his fists, there were reasons for that, and furthermore, Ye Xiao was someone who would never bully the weak.

Ye Xiao was testing Yan Luo, wanting to see what Yan Luo's courage was truly like. Now Ye Xiao knew—Yan Luo was indeed Yan Luo.

"He dared to openly assault someone in the hospital, I'm going to sue him!" the doctor reacted, shouting angrily.

"What did you say?" Yan Luo glared at the doctor coldly, looking as if he still wished to make a move.

The doctor's face turned white with fear, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't be angry. Like everyone else, doctors work to earn money to support their families—it's not easy. What we want is to transfer his mother to the State Hospital, and we expect your hospital to ensure everything goes smoothly."

"That's impossible! Transferring patients is your business!" the doctor immediately responded.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Of course, I know that. Here is two thousand yuan, consider it something to calm your nerves!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao took out two thousand yuan from his clothes and placed it on the table.

Big hospital doctors taking bribes was quite normal, but this small private hospital mostly dealt with the impoverished—how could they have accepted such a large bribe before?

"Ah?" This doctor was genuinely stunned; he had not expected this man to pull out so much money. After all, the doctor only earned two or three thousand yuan a month, so this was nearly half a month's wages for him.

Ye Xiao said, "As I said, it's to calm your nerves. Take it. I trust that you'd also prefer we all be friends, right?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" The doctor became wary, though the two thousand yuan was indeed tempting.

Ye Xiao, still smiling, said, "As I mentioned, we just want your hospital to lend a hand. Naturally, I'm ignorant about hospital transfers, but rest assured, I'll cover all the necessary expenses, no matter the cost. The only criterion is that the old lady must not be slighted. If she suffers any distress, well, this money won't just be money anymore."

Ye Xiao tapped on the two thousand yuan as he spoke.

"Eh?" The doctor found Ye Xiao's words even more puzzling.

"It would become a Death Sentence!" Ye Xiao's smile remained, but his voice turned ice-cold.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, the doctor started to sweat profusely, and it was early winter, no less.

"You're joking, right?" The doctor said to Ye Xiao, his face showing an unnatural expression.

Ye Xiao glanced at the obviously confused doctor, chuckled and said, "I never joke with people who aren't friends. Now, you can get moving. I hope the old lady can be sent to State Hospital as soon as possible, and then quickly scheduled for surgery."

The doctor was no fool, having lived for decades; it was clear to him what was going on. Although Ye Xiao looked young, his maturity was not something that could be feigned, and his generous spending further indicated that he was no ordinary person.

"Are you only concerned with safely transferring his mother to State Hospital?" the doctor asked tentatively once more. His primary concern now was whether taking Ye Xiao's money would mean he had to do something else for Ye Xiao, which would be a loss rather than a gain.

Ye Xiao immediately responded with a smile, "Why? Do you need another reason? Isn't it enough that he's my friend?"

"You're not relatives? Just friends?" The doctor was truly curious now. Spending so generously for a friend, could this man be a wealthy second-generation?

"You're asking too many questions. Don't you know what you should be doing right now?" Ye Xiao said somberly.

The doctor quickly nodded and said, "I'll go handle it right away. Um, does the money for the transfer include this two thousand?"

Clearly, the doctor wanted to confirm once again.

Ye Xiao said, "The money is yours now. The old lady isn't your family, so you have no reason to pay."

"Alright, I'll go take care of it." The doctor said, quickly picking up the two thousand yuan.

Watching the doctor leave, Yan Luo promptly said to Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, why did you give him the money?"

"Because only then will he do his best for you," Ye Xiao explained.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yan Luo heaved a sigh, looked at Ye Xiao earnestly, and said, "Ye Xiao, thank you."

"Don't start getting so moved you want to cry," Ye Xiao teased.

Yan Luo then said even more seriously to Ye Xiao, "From now on, whatever you say, I'll follow. Also, I will definitely repay you for the money spent on my mother."

"Heh, I took a liking to you, not your money," Ye Xiao responded with a laugh.

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Yan Luo was taken aback.

Knowing the young man had misunderstood, Ye Xiao quickly added, "Don't overthink it. I like girls. Besides, I admire your King Yanluo spirit. I hope you can follow me in the future and carve out our own realm. Of course, that's if you trust me."

"Brother Xiao!" Yan Luo suddenly exclaimed.

Ye Xiao, hearing Yan Luo's words, merely smiled faintly without saying anything else.
