"Someone's being murdered!"
Li Ying sat on the ground, covering her cheeks with both hands, and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help, a lunatic is killing people!"
Her shout echoed through the entire floor, and family members from every ward rushed out to watch.
"What's going on?"
"That woman sitting on the ground looks like she was beaten."
"How can such a beautiful woman be beaten? Is there no justice? Who's the bastard who did it?"
"It looks like the guy in the suit."
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
"Beating such a beautiful woman? Of course, I'm going to be a hero and save her!"
"Are you crazy? Didn't you hear her just yell that a lunatic was hitting someone? That guy is mentally ill. Mentally ill people don't get punished for killing!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier? If he's mentally ill, I'm not getting involved."
"..."
Amidst the crowd's chatter, a beautiful woman in long boots pushed through the crowd.
"Yingying, what happened?"
"Xiao Lian, I'm so glad you're here!"
Li Ying pointed at Yang Chen and shouted, "This scoundrel hit me!"
"There are so many people watching, get up quickly, don't let them laugh at you."
The beautiful woman helped Li Ying up and then turned to Yang Chen, exclaiming,
"Yang Chen, it's you, you scumbag!"
Yang Chen also recognized her as He Lian, the class monitor and beauty from his university days.
"Class monitor, wh-what are you saying? I'm Yang Chen, not a scumbag."
"I'm talking about you!"
He Lian said indignantly,
"Yang Chen, back in college, I thought you were an honest person. I never imagined you were this kind of person, a stinking scumbag!"
"Three years ago, you hooked up with an older woman to avoid working hard for ten years, and then you abandoned her. Do you know how heartbroken Li Ying was back then?"
"If I hadn't stopped her, she would have slit her wrists several times!"
"Three years later, you've become even more successful, and you've even laid hands on Xiao Ying!"
"Scumbag, a big scumbag!"
The onlookers erupted, cursing Yang Chen incessantly, their spittle flying all over him.
"I abandoned her?!"
Yang Chen felt both angry and amused.
"Class monitor, who told you all these ridiculous and nonsensical things?"
"Who told me is irrelevant. Do you dare to admit it?"
He Lian knew these things from Li Ying. To cover up the fact that she and her lover had beaten Yang Chen into a comatose state, she spread these rumors in the alumni group to garner sympathy.
At that time, Yang Chen had become an idiot and couldn't defend himself in the group.
"Admit what? I've never done anything like that!"
Yang Chen quickly explained the events of three years ago.
"It's all because of this shameless slut!"
Yang Chen pointed at Li Ying and said indignantly, "For the past three years, I've been living in a daze!"
Seeing his indignant and flushed face, He Lian, who didn't seem to be lying, asked doubtfully, "Is that really what happened?"
"My mother also fell ill because of this. She's still lying in the hospital. How can it not be true!"
"Li Ying, what Yang Chen said is completely different from what you said. What's going on?"
"He... I, he's lying..."
"Yingying, what happened?"
Just then, a young man in a suit, accompanied by two burly bodyguards, pushed through the crowd.
"Gao Feng!"
Li Ying threw herself into his arms, tears streaming down her face, and cried, "I've been bullied! You have to help me!"
The person who arrived was Gao Feng, the one who had beaten Yang Chen into a comatose state three years ago.
"Darling, who dared to hit you? I'll get revenge for you!"
"Him!"
"He... he's Yang Chen!"
Gao Feng followed Li Ying'sæ direction and was taken aback, "Wasn't he brain-damaged? How is he here?"
"This is a hospital. Someone like him belongs in a hospital or a mental institution."
"I've been bullied! You have to help me!"
"Okay... okay, I'll get revenge for you."
Gao Feng waved his hand and shouted,
"Beat this idiot half to death!"
"Yes!"
The two bodyguards behind Gao Feng pounced on Yang Chen like wolves.
Having experienced the incident with Old Crow, Yang Chen knew his strength was extraordinary. He was not afraid of the two men's attacks.
He focused his gaze, and a stream of energy naturally flowed from his dantian through his meridians to his eyes. The things he saw immediately changed.
Slow!
Too slow!
The punches and kicks thrown by the two men appeared like slow-motion in Yang Chen's eyes.
Bang!
Yang Chen threw a punch and a kick, striking the chests of the two men. Though they were hit sequentially, Yang Chen's speed was so astonishing that the crowd only heard a single sound before both men were sent flying backward, unable to get up for a long time.
Everyone was stunned!
"Gao Feng, I will repay the harm you've caused me over the past three years tenfold!"
Recalling the suffering his parents had endured for him over the past three years, Yang Chen exuded a strong killing intent, and the surrounding air seemed to turn cold.
Gao Feng and Li Ying, caught in his killing intent, trembled as if they were in the depths of winter, shivering uncontrollably.
"What's going on?"
Just then, a stern voice rang out from the crowd.
The doctors and nurses who were watching hurried over and respectfully said, "Dean Ma, Young Master Gao and Mr. Yang from room 304 are having an argument."
"Ma Guangming, is this the hospital you're managing!"
Gao Feng saw Dean Ma appear, thinking that with hospital leadership present, the lunatic Yang Chen wouldn't dare to do anything to him. He yelled,
"This lunatic beat my bodyguards like this, you must give me an explanation!"
Ma Guangming glanced at Yang Chen and said with difficulty,
"Young Master Gao, is there some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Yang?"
"Misunderstanding my foot!"
Gao Feng arrogantly shouted,
"I order you to immediately call security to arrest this lunatic, and then kick the patient from room 304 out of the hospital!"
Ma Guangming looked at Yang Chen again. Yang Chen remained silent, appearing like a reclusive master. He gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Gao, I cannot fulfill your request."
Gao Feng was stunned. He never expected Ma Guangming to disrespect him so much. He said menacingly, "Ma Guangming, you better think carefully, or I will have you removed from your position at the board meeting because of today's incident!"
Since the lines had been drawn, Ma Guangming no longer showed Gao Feng any pleasantries, sneering,
"Young Master Gao, I have something to remind you of as well."
"Your Gao family is merely a minor shareholder in the hospital, not an executive director. You have no right to impeach me!"
In fact, Ma Guangming had one more thing he didn't say. At this very moment, there was another important figure who needed Yang Chen's superb medical skills to save their life. As long as that important figure could be saved, let alone a mere second-generation rich kid like Gao Feng, even the chairman wouldn't dare to dismiss him so easily.
Yang Chen, not understanding the situation but deeply touched by Ma Guangming's protection, said, "For Dean Ma's sake, I won't kill this adulterous couple here in the hospital today!"
"Gao Feng, you'd better hold off on trying to kill me for now."
Yang Chen pointed at Li Ying's belly and said with a cold smile, "This slut has put a big green hat on your head. You should worry about who the father of the child in her belly is!"
