Chapter 63 - Enemies on a Narrow Road Second Update

“They can’t do this!

Every debt has its debtors, and I have no idea why they’re blaming my dad for the accident he didn’t cause,” Lu Miaochan said indignantly.

Wu Xiangjun replied with a worried face, “Now that the driver has fled, your dad is taking the fall for someone else.

The family of that person has warned that if we don’t come up with the money, they’ll send your dad to the hospital!

I thought they were just making threats to scare us, but something happened today…”

At this point, Wu Xiangjun’s eyes reddened, “The family has been spreading rumors too, saying your dad hit someone, and it’s causing a big stir at his job!

The workers’ hospital won’t accept him for treatment, nor will they reimburse us, so we had to transfer him to the People’s Hospital.”

Lu Miaochan, with a sense of injustice, said, “They’re so horrible.

Can’t we just call the police?”

Wu Xiangjun sighed, “Is calling the police any use against these people?

Once the police are gone, they’ll still seek revenge.

What if they get desperate?

I’m worried they might actually send your dad to jail.

What would our family do then?”

“But we can’t just give them thirty thousand, that’s our entire family’s annual budget,” Lu Miaochan said, her brows knitted tightly.

“We have no choice but to pool the money for now and get the accident driver to repay us once found,” Wu Xiangjun said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan spoke up, “Auntie, listen to me.

We can’t give in to people like them.

The more they see us back down, the more they will push!”

The law of the jungle has always been the rule of this world!

It was clear that the family targeted Lu Miaochan’s family because they seemed easy to bully.

Instead of looking for the actual culprit, they directly demanded compensation from them.

“But if we don’t give in, what can we do?”

Wu Xiangjun asked, looking at Ye Xuan, “Ye, do you have any solutions?”

There was no solution, but he had two fists ready to “reason” things out with them!

However, he certainly couldn’t say that in front of Wu Xiangjun.

“If they won’t be reasonable, then we must be even less reasonable till they decide to talk,” Ye Xuan said, filled with righteous indignation, then showing a resolute expression as if ready to face death, “Auntie, in these degenerate times, we good people can only end up being bullied!

Although I’m burning with anger inside, for Miaochan’s sake, I’m ready to fight to the bloody end to ensure our family’s safety.”

Ye Xuan spoke with great conviction, “Auntie, let me be clear.

Those people won’t get a penny from us!

I won’t allow such things to happen as long as I’m here, unless they step over my dead body!”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s unwavering determination, Wu Xiangjun felt a glimmer of comfort and began to see him in a better light.

This young man might be poor, but he genuinely likes our Miaochan.

“Young man, it’s good to have spirit, but you need strength too!

Those people are ruthless, not easy to mess with, and I’ve heard they’re involved in the underworld.

That’s why Miaochan’s dad ended up in the hospital.

How can you deal with them alone?” Wu Xiangjun said.

Ye Xuan might have driven off some security guards, but those guards are nothing compared to the thugs!

Will they fight you fair and square?

If not, they’ll play dirty tricks.

Can a young man like you handle a bunch of ruffians?

“Don’t worry, I’ll talk some sense into them, about life!

I promise to make them tuck their tails and stop hassling us,”

Ye Xuan said confidently, with complete seriousness.

“Mom, don’t worry, okay?

Big brother Ye is really powerful!

As long as he takes action, those people won’t dare to bother us again!”

The young girl was very trusting of Ye Xuan, now following him almost blindly.

“But what if we scare them off?

Your dad is still in a coma, and there’s no telling when he will wake up,”

Wu Xiangjun said, shaking her head with a sad expression.

“Auntie, I have a way to treat Uncle Lu,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

To him, any trouble that fists and medical techniques could solve was no trouble at all.

“Yeah, Mom, Ye Xuan’s medical techniques are amazing, and he can definitely cure Dad’s illness!” Lu Miaochan said excitedly.

Wu Xiangjun looked at Ye Xuan in surprise and asked, “Ye Xuan, are you a doctor?”

Ye Xuan nodded, “I practice Ancient Medicine!” Sёarᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ancient Medicine?

Wu Xiangjun frowned, thinking Ye Xuan was bragging.

Nowadays, which practitioner of Ancient Medicine wasn’t old and grey?

She had never seen such a young one!

Even if he started learning from the womb, how skilled could he be now?

And what does a security guard have to do with Ancient Medicine?

Wu Xiangjun grew worried, thinking Ye Xuan claimed to be a practitioner of Ancient Medicine just to chase her daughter.

“Mom, let’s just let Ye Xuan have a look at Dad, maybe he really can cure him,” Lu Miaochan said, unable to wait.

My foolish daughter, can’t you see how simple his trick is?

Wu Xiangjun sighed inwardly and said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, then come in and have a look.”

Although she didn’t believe Ye Xuan, by letting him examine her husband, she could figure out what he was about.

If Ye Xuan was lying, it would be a good opportunity to expose him and prevent her daughter from being deceived.

As for curing the illness, she didn’t believe for a moment that Ye Xuan could heal her husband!

Noticing Wu Xiangjun’s voice had grown colder, Ye Xuan smiled, aware of her distrust in him.

Most people would be skeptical of such a young practitioner of Ancient Medicine, not to mention Wu Xiangjun was regarding him as a potential son-in-law.

Ye Xuan entered the sickroom and saw a person lying on the bed, it was Lu Miaochan’s father, Lu Zhengguo.

This was a middle-aged man in his early forties, lying unconscious with closed eyes, with various medical devices placed by the bed.

“Dad!”

Seeing her comatose father, Lu Miaochan’s tears immediately started falling, though she wanted to rush over but was stopped by Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan walked over to the bedside and scrutinized Lu Zhengguo, his expression growing solemn.

Through the scanning of his x-ray vision, he found that Lu Zhengguo’s condition was very poor, with fractures in several places throughout his body and a moderate concussion, which had already caused cerebral edema.

If he wasn’t treated soon, his life could be in danger!

“Ye Xuan, how is my dad’s condition?” Lu Miaochan asked anxiously, her eyes swollen red.

“Don’t worry, there’s no ailment under heaven that I can’t cure.

Uncle Lu’s injuries are serious, but it’s not beyond hope!” Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze, smiling inscrutably.

“Hmph, such a young age and talking big, aren’t you afraid of twisting your tongue?

Get out of the way quickly, if you delay the treatment of the injury, can you afford the responsibility?”

At that moment, three people walked into the room, and a man in the lead pointed at Ye Xuan disdainfully and said.

Hmm?

Ye Xuan turned to look and when he saw one of the men with a crew cut, his eyes flashed, “It’s him!”

Talk about a small world indeed…
