Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 912 - The Arrogant Young Master Ma

The spacious and bright ward was filled with cigarette smokes. The curtains were tightly drawn. Smoking was prohibited here, but since the patient’s identity was special, the nurse on duty could only ignore it.

The room wasn’t big. There were seven to eight people in the room. Among them, five of them were injured. They either had bandages on their heads or cast on their legs. The man seated close to the window looked to be in his early twenties. He wore a smug on his lips with a cigarette in his mouth. Throwing a few poker cards on the table, he laughed, “Anyone wants it?”

When the rest shook their heads, the man continued throwing out his cards. When he was done, he laughed, “I win! Pay up quickly!”

The other men were all dejected as they handed the money over unwillingly. Receiving money from everyone, the man chuckled, “It seems that the bad luck is all gone now.”

This man was the son of Nonferrous Metals Group’s Vice-CEO, Ma Xiangming.

The one seated on his right hand was Lei Zheng, the son of the hospital’s Vice-President. With a smile, he flattered, “Yeah. Young Master Ma’s anger shreds blood. That bumpkin must be blind to offend you.”

Ma Xiangming snorted and asked, “Is he dead?”

“I heard he’s still in the emergency room. But even if he’s not dead, he’ll be in the vegetative state for the rest of his life.” Lei Zheng grinned.

“That’s the best. Let him suffer for the rest of his life.” Ma Xiangming smiled viciously. “Have you informed the doctor?”

“We can’t do that. Otherwise, who’ll be responsible if he really dies? But I’ve already gotten someone to urge his parents to make payments. If the payment isn’t done in time, the hospital won’t continue the treatment.” Lei Zheng smiled embarrassedly.

“Is that the idea you have by sending him to our hospital?” Ma Xiangming smiled.

Lei Zheng chuckled and began shuffling the cards, “This is our homeground. His life and death is in our hands.” Looking at Ma Xiangming’s cast, he continued, “I’m still dizzy talking about it. That brat was pretty ruthless and fought without caring for his life. Didn’t we just bump into his tricycle? He actually dared to beat us up!”

People would always talk from their standpoint. Wu Jun made his money from tricycle selling snacks. At night, he would set up a temporary stall outside the bar. As a result, Ma Xiangming knocked over his tricycle when he was intoxicated. The group spoke harshly to Wu Jun. Wu Jun eventually lost his temper and fought with them. In the end, Ma Xiangming had to intimidate Wu Jun by calling the security guards over and landed him in such a serious state.

In the beginning, Ma Xiangming also didn’t want Wu Jun to die. But through Lei Zheng’s suggestion, he decided to bring Wu Jun over for treatment. If Wu Jun really dies, then the hospital could come up with proof for him to escape from legal responsibility.

“What will we do if he really dies?” A timid man next to him asked.

“Pay the compensation then. What else? You want us to pay with our lives?” Lei Zheng laughed. “How can his cheap life be compared to ours?”

“Give his parents a sum of money if he really dies. I’ll pay for it. It will have nothing to do with you guys.” Ma Xiangming smiled.

The timid man from before knew that he was a little too much when he asked about it and immediately added, “Young Master Ma, don’t say that. We’ll pay for it.”

Everyone continued playing their cards and threw Wu Jun to the back of their mind. Suddenly, the door was opened, revealing a delicate face. Ma Xiangming was stunned when he saw He Duo. He never expected that there would be such a beautiful nurse in the hospital.

When He Duo came in and saw the smoke in the room, she reprimanded, “This is the hospital ward. How can you smoke here and cause such noise!”

“Who’s this nurse? She looks pretty good. Her temper matches my type well.” Ma Xiangming laughed.

Lei Zheng smiled awkwardly. He also had a good impression about He Duo. But this nurse was known for her fiery temper. Lei Zheng have been paying attention to her secretly, but he knew that he’d already lost his chance since Ma Xiangming had set his sights on her.

He’s a bella in the hospital. Her name is He Duo.” Lei Zheng replied honestly.

“Tsk! Tsk!” Ma Xiangming laughed. “Extinguish the cigarettes. After all, we have to give face to our beauty here.”

As everyone laughed, they extinguished their cigarettes.

Patting on the seat next to him, Ma Xiangming spoke out, “Are you satisfied now? Come and chat with me then.”

He Duo was disgusted by Ma Xiangming and sneered, “I’m here to ask you something. You injured Wu Jun, and aren’t you doing something now that his life is in danger?’

Ma Xiangming was stunned when he heard that. He never expected that He Duo was here to reprimand him. Raising his brow, he asked, “What has Wu Jun got to do with you?”

“He’s not related to me. But I just can’t stand what you’re doing.” He Duo replied.

“So you’re coming to uphold justice.” Lei Zheng laughed. “Since he’s not a relative of yours, why are you worried about him?”

“You guys have no conscience! You guys are simply beasts!” He Duo snapped, flustered with anger.

Ma xiangming met many women in his life, but it was the first time that he encountered someone like He Duo. Not only was he not angry, he even found it refreshing. He chuckled, “Why don’t you teach me what I should do then?”

“Shouldn’t you pay for the medical expenses since his parents can’t afford it?!” He Duo replied.

Pointing at his cast, Ma Xiangming smiled, “He fractured my leg. My friends here also suffered a certain degree of injuries. If you add our medical fees together, it’s not any lesser than him. It’s good enough that we’re not asking him for compensation, yet you want me to pay for his medical fees? Does that make sense to you?”

“Firstly, you’re the case of the conflict, to begin with. So you should naturally take responsibility for it. Secondly, his life is currently in danger and you should help out of humanitarianism.” He Dao rebuked.

“Oh? Your logic comes one after another.” Ma Xiangming rubbed his nose. “How about this. I’ll compensate him if you’re willing to be my girlfriend.”

He Duo was angered by Ma Xiangming’s words and raged, “Are you still human?!”

“She scolded me?” Ma Xiangming chuckled. He turned to look at Lei Zheng.

Pointing at the two lackeys who were uninjured, Lei Zheng smiled, “Grab her over and apologize to Young Master Ma.”

He Duo was taken aback. She never expected that Ma Xiangming would be so arrogant. A lackey immediately came blocking her way while the other grabbed her by her arm and pushed her to Ma xiangming.

Ma Xiangming held onto He Duo’s chin and praised, “You maintained your skin well. I like you. If you’re willing to be my girlfriend, you don’t have to work as a nurse anymore. I’ll give you ¥20,000 a month along with a car and house. What do you think?”

“Bah!” He Duo was disgusted by Ma Xiangming. She even went as far as spitting on his face.

Wiping his face, Ma Xiangming sniffed his hand and smiled, “Even your saliva is so fragrant. I like to tame someone like you. Haha! If it isn’t for my injury, I might even do you here.”

Standing by the side, Lei Zheng felt a little reluctant. After all, he had been trying to court He Duo. But he knew Ma Xiangming well. Ma Xiangming had relied on his influence to get any girls he was interested in the subsidiary companies. If he was really interested in He Duo, there was no way He Duo could escape from his grasp.

Just when Ma Xiangming wanted to continue to touch He Duo, the door suddenly opened. Peng Yue came together with the head nurse.

The head nurse was shrewd. She immediately came over and grabbed He Duo to her back and smiled, “I’m sorry that my subordinate offended you. I apologize on her behalf.”

But just when Ma Xiangming wanted to speak, the head nurse continued, “You guys still need to rest. I’ll get a new nurse later. Let me know if you need anything.”

The head nurse then dragged He Duo out the ward.

Ma Xiangming held onto his chin and licked his lips, “This lil’ nurse is interesting. Lei Zheng, are we still brothers? Find a way to get her for me.”

Lei Zheng began cursing Ma Xiangming in his heart. But he couldn’t allow himself to lose his temper because Ma Xiangming was the core of this group, not to mention that his father held authority in the corporation. So if he offended Ma Xiangming, his father would definitely curse him to death.

In the end, He Duo was just a woman. Lei Zheng smiled awkwardly, “I’ll do my best.”

He Duo was dragged out by the head nurse. When the head nurse saw the unhappiness on her face, she sighed, “Little He, you’ve been in the hospital for some time now. Do you know that you can’t afford to offend some people here?”

“What’s the big deal? Worst comes to worst, I’ll just quit!” He Duo frowned.

Pointing her finger at He Duo, the head nurse roared, “Okay fine! Consider my goodwill for nought. You can do whatever you want.”

After the head nurse left, Peng Yue came over and shook her head, “I’ve heard many stories about that Young Master Ma. He even raped a female employee and settled the matter with money.”

Slowly calming down, He Duo sighed, “Thank you, Peng Yue. The hospital is full of haze and to be honest, I don’t plan on working her anymore”

Peng Yue shook her head helplessly. She wasn’t as courageous as He Duo and she still needed this job.
