Chapter 15: Village Chief, It Wasn't Intentional...

Wu Xiaoshan frowned, he had just opened the gate with a sullen face when a burly middle-aged man violently pulled him out and bellowed furiously, "Wu Xiaoshan, my father is nearly killed by you, you bastard. If anything really happens to him, I will make you pay with your life!"

Looking at the enraged Qin Daoming, Wu Xiaoshan was utterly bewildered. What happened to Elder Qin again? Hadn't I cured him just yesterday?

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. He spoke up and said, "Uncle Daoming, calm down first. What exactly happened to Elder Qin?"

"Calm down my ass! My father is almost out of breath. Come with me right now. If you can't cure him, you will pay with your life!"

Qin Daoming seemed to have lost all reason, and as he spoke, he shoved Wu Xiaoshan violently.

Wu Xiaoshan was caught off guard, and with such a heavy shove from Qin Daoming, his body suddenly lost balance and fell backward.

Instinctively, he reached out to steady himself.

Huh?

Wu Xiaoshan was somewhat puzzled in his mind. Didn't I fall down? What's this, feels quite soft.

Subconsciously, he squeezed again...

"Ah!"

At that moment, a sharp scream suddenly erupted.

Wu Xiaoshan jerked, and turning his head, he immediately found his hand on a woman wearing a cyan suit.

"Slap!"

Seeing Wu Xiaoshan hadn't removed his hand, the woman instantly slapped his face.

Wu Xiaoshan's face was slapped publicly, and he couldn't help being annoyed. Damn it, this woman was being completely unreasonable.

He was about to react, but as he got a clear look at the woman's face, he was momentarily stunned.

The woman before him had a cold and noble presence, her demeanor was elegant, and her stunning face blushed, obviously because Wu Xiaoshan had just 'harassed' her.

Although she was wearing a simple cyan suit, the white shirt underneath was stretched taut, accentuating her curvaceous figure all the more prominently.

At this time, those dark and bright eyes were full of fiery anger staring at Wu Xiaoshan, as if she could devour him alive at any moment.

Feeling the tension in the air, Zhang Dabao had a hint of a mischievous grin in his eyes.

The reason Qin Daoming came looking for trouble with Wu Xiaoshan today was entirely because Zhang Dabao had instigated it behind the scenes.

He had never believed in Wu Xiaoshan's medical skills, so as soon as he heard this morning that Old man Qin had fallen sick again, he immediately started slinging mud at Wu Xiaoshan.

And Qin Daoming, being a simple-minded brute easily riled up by Zhang Dabao's instigation, came to Wu Xiaoshan's doorstep in a furious rage.

At this moment, seeing Wu Xiaoshan had offended the new female Village Head, Zhang Dabao sneered, stepped forward, brushed off Wu Xiaoshan's hand, and pointed at his nose shouting loudly, "Wu Xiaoshan, are you seeking death, you little bastard? You even dare to take liberties with the new Village Head, you animal!"

"What, new... new Village Head?"

As Wu Xiaoshan stared at the young woman in front of him, who wasn't much older than he was, his mind went blank. A Village Head so young, can this be right?

The woman glared fiercely at Wu Xiaoshan and then coldly asked, "What's going on here?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dabao immediately shot an encouraging look at Qin Daoming.

Snapping back to reality, the latter then recounted, in detail, how Wu Xiaoshan almost killed his father.

After listening, Xin Lei's eyes grew even colder. She glared at Wu Xiaoshan and accused, "Just as I suspected, not a good seed. Did he wrongly accuse you?"

Wu Xiaoshan was dumbfounded by the new, suddenly dropped-in female Village Head's words, irritation welled up within. Damn it, who was this woman to disparage Young Master like that?

But soon, he remembered the delightful sensation in his hands from earlier, and a faint smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

Xin Lei had been watching Wu Xiaoshan closely, and seeing him suddenly smirk lewdly, where could she not guess what was on his mind.

Immediately, her beautiful face flushed with another wave of red, and she snapped indignantly, "What's so funny? Do you realize that if Elder Qin were to have an accident, you would be criminally liable?"

"Yeah, Village Head Xin, that Xiaoshan is just messing around. He doesn't even have a practicing certificate. I'm really worried that something might go wrong with Old Master Qin," Zhang Dabao hurriedly leaned toward Xin Lei, fearfully adding another line to his complaint.

"Practicing without a license, and to top it off, making the patient even worse!" Xin Lei said, her heart filling with even more rage upon hearing this.

These people's knowledge of the law is too weak, isn't it?

Before coming here, she had made a solemn vow to her family; she was determined to boost Wolong Village's economy. Yet, she had barely arrived in the village when she felt a sense of powerlessness creeping in.

Watching the two of them echoing each other, Xiaoshan's expression turned utterly grim. In a cold voice, he said, "I admit that I don't have a medical license, but I don't accept that I've made Elder Qin's condition worse!"

"Damn it, you still dare to argue? I won't let you off easy today!" Qin Daoming exploded upon hearing this, his fists clenched as he smashed them violently toward Xiaoshan.

Qin Daoming was already tall and strong, and with the intention of venting his anger, if that big fist of his really hit Xiaoshan's face, even with his inheritance, he'd be seriously injured.

Seeing Qin Daoming's outburst, a triumphant cold smile surfaced in Zhang Dabao's eyes.

This Xiaoshan had opposed him time and again, having even hit him before. As someone accustomed to throwing his weight around in Wolong Village, he couldn't swallow this affront.

And now, this scene was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

Just as Xiaoshan was about to strike back, suddenly, a cool voice rang out. Then, he felt a gust of fragrant wind and a slender figure in green stepped in front of him.

Xiaoshan was stunned, looking at Xin Lei who was close enough to touch, protecting him, he thought to himself, maybe this woman isn't as annoying as he had imagined.

Qin Daoming never expected Xin Lei to suddenly pull such a move. He retracted his fist in a rush, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xin Lei's cold voice scolding, "We live in a society ruled by law. Even if Xiaoshan is rotten to the core, he's to be judged by the law."

Hearing this, Xiaoshan, who had just begun to change his opinion of Xin Lei, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Damn it, this woman sure knows how to make a fuss, just watch how I deal with you later!

Zhang Dabao was also stunned by Xin Lei's words, but being a shrewd man, he quickly recovered.

"Village Head Xin is right, we all must abide by the law," he said, pausing for a moment before smilingly making peace. "Village Head Xin, don't be angry. Daoming is just worried about his old father. Please show some understanding."

"Yes, Village Head Xin, it's all because of that bastard Xiaoshan messing things up. You, as our village head, must stand up for me!"

Qin Daoming, catching Zhang Dabao's signal, suddenly changed his expression, crying out with a face full of grievance.

Xin Lei frowned, then said in a deep voice, "First, we save the person, then we assign blame. Director Zhang, would you please contact the village doctor and ask her to hurry and help save him?"

Upon receiving Xin Lei's instructions, Zhang Dabao hurried towards the village clinic, while Xiaoshan followed Xin Lei and the others, striding towards Qin Daoming's house...

When the group arrived at Qin Daoming's house, they found it packed with villagers and relatives, with Old man Qin lying in the bedroom on the bed, his face ashen, eyes tightly shut, breathing extremely weak.

Soon, Zeng Yu arrived, led by Zhang Dabao, but when she saw Xin Lei at the head of the group, she couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "Xin Lei? What are you doing here?"

Xin Lei had not expected Wolong Village's doctor to be Zeng Yu, but she soon scoffed and said, "So what, Zeng Yu can come to Wolong Village to be a doctor, can't I, Xin Lei, come here to be the village head?"

Looking at Xin Lei's cool complexion, Zeng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, as if recalling something, she lightly laughed and said, "I wonder why the Xin family's young lady would come to such a small place as Wolong Village to be the village head, turns out it's to avoid a family-arranged marriage, giggle..."

Feeling her secret being exposed, Xin Lei became annoyed and said irritably, "How much better could you, Zeng Yu, be? Enough with the nonsense, hurry and save him!"

Watching the two women clash, Xiaoshan murmured to himself, damn it, looks like these two have a story...

Speaking of saving someone, Zeng Yu finally came to her senses. She glanced at Xin Lei and quickly approached Old man Qin, starting a serious examination.

Everyone, seeing this, didn't dare to be careless, all watching Zeng Yu with bated breath, not even daring to let out a heavy breath.

After a while, Zeng Yu slowly straightened up, a trace of sorrow on her face as she said, "I'm sorry, Elder Qin is hanging by a thread. I can't save him."

"Dad!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Daoming's complexion changed, he fell down beside Old man Qin, crying out in pain.

Zeng Yu frowned, but then suddenly, she noticed Xiaoshan standing to the side, her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Xiaoshan, please save Elder Qin, now we can only rely on you!"
