Chapter 9 The Scam

Zhang Guang had been a doctor for many years and had encountered troublemakers before.

But this time, in full view of the public, a patient lashing out was something that left him dumbfounded.

The surrounding villagers hadn't expected Chen Hong to actually start swinging either, and they were all shocked, their mouths agape.

As Chen Hong's fist was about to smash into Zhang Guang's face, Zhang Xiaomeng at his side made his move.

Whoosh!

His kick was as fast as lightning, and he sent it directly at Chen Hong's chest.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Chen Hong flew backward like a punching bag, soaring through the air.

He didn't hit the ground until he had flown five or six meters, landing with a thump.

All those present were left utterly dumbstruck by the scene.

A satisfied smile crept across Zhang Xiaomeng's face. Though he had been impressively potent with women yesterday, he wasn't certain how much his actual fighting ability had improved.

Now, he had used merely 30 percent of his strength, and the effect was terrifying. It was clear just how formidable a body reconstructed by the Opening Heaven's Holy Tome could be.

After a brief silence, the emasculated man lying on the ground began to scream pitifully.

"Ah! Help! The Zhang Family, they not only misdiagnosed and ruined me, but now they're beating people too!"

"Folks, look at this, the Zhang Family bullies people like this!"

"Husband, how are you?"

The gaudily dressed woman finally snapped to her senses and hurried over, helping Chen Hong up.

Then the pair stood in the street, pointing at the Zhang father and son, hurling abuse.

Quack doctor, carelessly taking lives, a slew of nasty words poured forth endlessly.

The onlookers, hearing all the insults, looked at the Zhang father and son with odd expressions in their eyes.

"The Zhang Family is too domineering, what scoundrels, screwing someone over and not only refusing to apologize, but his son also attacks people."

"Yeah, how can they be so overbearing? I wouldn't dare to seek medical treatment from them anymore."

"Zhang Xiaomeng usually seems so refined. What possessed him to act so violently today?"

"These people from the Zhang Family are really unreasonable and beyond persuasion."

The villagers whispered among themselves, pointing fingers at Zhang Xiaomeng and Zhang Guang.

Hearing these words, Zhang Guang's face grew even grimmer, and beads of sweat bubbled up on his forehead.

He feared Chen Hong would call the police and cause trouble for Zhang Xiaomeng, so he hurriedly spoke up,

"Chen Hong, enough yelling. What do you want? Just say it."

"Hmph, you ruined me, and let your son hit me. I won't let this go easily!"

"You have to compensate me, at least two hundred thousand!"

"That's right, pay up!"

The sultry woman added with a sneer.

Hearing this, Zhang Guang shuddered.

As a humble village doctor, where would he find so much money?

"The medicine I prescribed you was indeed correct. I am willing to compensate for my son hitting you. Can't it be less?"

"Not a cent less, or let me tell you, if you don't cough up two hundred thousand today, I'll call the police this instant and have your son thrown in jail!"

Seeing Zhang Guang cower, Chen Hong became even more arrogant and threatened coldly.

Hearing the mention of the police, Zhang Guang's face turned even whiter.

He had only this one son; how could he let Zhang Xiaomeng go to jail?

But where could he possibly come up with two hundred thousand?

Sell the house, the land, borrow from relatives?

While his mind was in disarray, Zhang Xiaomeng beside him suddenly laughed.

"Dad, don't be scared. They're just a pair of swindlers, and you haven't prescribed the wrong medicine at all."

"If I hit him, he deserved it."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang was completely baffled.

The surrounding villagers also looked at Zhang Xiaomeng with puzzled eyes.

Chen Hong's face changed, her tone grew fiercer as she pointed at Zhang Xiaomeng's nose and said:

"You bastard, even under the public's eye, you dare to make counter-accusations! Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"Call the police? Go ahead, do it quickly. A dead scammer like you still dares to play these games with me?"

Zhang Xiaomeng said with a sneer.

"Son, you say he's a swindler, what's going on exactly?"

Standing nearby, Zhang Guang felt utterly confused after hearing Zhang Xiaomeng's words and couldn't help but ask.

The surrounding villagers also murmured amongst themselves, turning their questioning gazes towards Zhang Xiaomeng.

A scornful sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Xiaomeng's mouth as he looked at Chen Hong and said:

"This guy has a pale complexion, lifeless eyes, he's clearly a man insufficient by nature."

"He was born without any reproductive ability, so Dad, you didn't prescribe the wrong medicine at all, he's just intentionally trying to swindle us."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place erupted in shock.

Chen Hong and his woman's faces, however, turned pale.

They reacted as if their tails were stepped on, turning to run away.

But with Zhang Xiaomeng on the scene, how could he possibly let them escape?

With a whoosh, Zhang Xiaomeng moved swiftly like lightning, grabbing Chen Hong's shoulder in a flash.

With a slight exertion of his wrist, Chen Hong was turned around like a paper figurine by Zhang Xiaomeng.

Sssh!

With a light swipe of his left hand, Zhang Xiaomeng ripped Chen Hong's pants apart.

The next second, everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh my God, this guy's thing is smaller than a toothpick."

"My grandson is only three years old, but his is thicker and more robust."

"Haha, this is too funny, such a big man and he's hiding a needle in his trousers."

"Good heavens, you can barely see it if you don't look closely."

The villagers laughed heartily one after another, while Chen Hong and his woman turned as white as a sheet.

"Let go of me, let go of me now!"

With everyone looking at his body, Chen Hong's face turned as red as a boiled crayfish.

He struggled violently, but Zhang Xiaomeng's hand was like iron pincers, preventing him from breaking free.

Bang!

Only when the villagers had clearly seen that needle-like thing did Zhang Xiaomeng suddenly exert force, pushing Chen Hong to the ground.

"I, I was wrong, please let me off."

"I was blinded by stupidity, I will kowtow to confess my guilt to you."

With a face pale as death, Chen Hong hastily knelt on the ground, banging his head toward Zhang Xiaomeng remorsefully.

"If you don't want to go to jail, then confess everything to me right now!"

Zhang Xiaomeng had a gloomy look on his face, his tone carrying an air of dominance.

Chen Hong, upon hearing this, quickly nodded and then spilled all the truth.

It turned out that this guy had been a good-for-nothing from birth, so he gave up on himself, always skulking about and never doing any proper work.

Recently short on money, he came up with an idea to use his own disabilities to scam some cash to spend.

That's why he set up this whole scheme against Zhang Guang.

"Big brother, I've admitted it all, please don't call the police, I won't dare to do it again."

Chen Hong begged with a sob in his voice, kowtowing repeatedly to Zhang Xiaomeng while he spoke.
