novelxo Chapter 235
He trusted Chu Feng, without question.
"Alright." The doctor did not press further and handed over a medical waiver form for them to sign. Since he was absolved from medical liabilities and would be paid handsomely to perform the surgery, he was more than willing to go through with it.
Chu Feng quickly settled the matter. The top-notch doctors, wards and treatments cost half a million for the deposit alone, but he didn't even bat an eye.
After staying in the ward for a while, Yun Muqing was still thinking of staying to care for Zhou Lie when Liu Minglan insisted that she perish the thought. Apparently, she was reluctant to continue troubling this future daughter-in-law of hers, so Chu Feng and Yun Muqing had no choice but to return home and rest for the night before coming back for the surgery on the next day.
After exiting the ward, Chu Feng paid the hospitalization deposit and spent the whole walk out in a frustrated and distracted state. Fortunately, Yun Muqing held his hand the whole way and the warmth from her grip calmed him down a lot.
Suddenly, a beer-bellied man who wore posh clothes and gold accessories walked over from the opposite end of the corridor. He was carrying an assortment of health supplements, fresh flowers and a fruit basket, the latter of which scattered onto the ground when he bumped into Chu Feng.
"F*ck, are you blind? Watch where you're going!" The posh man snapped, "Are you going to take responsibility if I was late to see my boss?"
"These are all imported fruits, and a single one would cost a week's worth of your wages, you country bumpkin. Can you afford that?" a lackey spoke up arrogantly from behind the posh man. The lackey had his hair parted and his clothing gave the impression of a sneak.
Chu Feng frowned, then said impatiently, "There's so much room in the corridor. How is it my fault if you bump into me and dropped your stuff while carrying so much?"
"Hey, you want to talk back again, pipsqueak?" The posh man went wide-eyed and rolled up his sleeves before marching over to Chu Feng. After sizing him up, the man suddenly narrowed his eyes and growled menacingly, "That Zhou runt? Chu Feng, wasn't it? Damn, it's a small world after all."
Chu Feng took a proper look at him and sounded similarly cold as he said, "Li Dafu."
He'd recognize this son of a b*tch even if he'd turned to ash.
Ten years ago, the bastard had unsuccessfully tried to harass Zhou Ying and several other female students. Even after the parents formally complained about the incident, he got away with it due to his family's wealth.
That night, Chu Feng took a kitchen knife straight to his doorstep, forced him to sign a confession and got him jailed for over ten years in revenge for Zhou Ying and the other girls.
Unfortunately, the Li Family targeted him as a result and used their connections to frame him for attempted burglary and first-degree murder. He'd been a wanted criminal until Zhou Lie got him into the army, and that was where he'd spent the past decade. But never did Chu Feng expect that this bastard would get out of jail early.
"I see God wanted to make up for my years in jail. Now that I've bumped into you straight out of parole, I can settle the score properly." Li Dafu spat, then glared at Chu Feng with a gaze so fiery, it seemed like he wanted to swallow him whole. "I spent ten years rotting in prison because of you. Ten years! You want to know how I got through those hellish days? I spent every waking moment hoping I'd get released so I could crush you," Li Dafu said with gritted teeth and heavy breathing as he glared at Chu Feng.
He just couldn't get it. How could his past self have been so intimidated by a pipsqueak with a kitchen knife, to the point that he signed his own confession? Every time he thought about it in jail, he couldn't help but slap himself and curse his own cowardice. Now that fate has given him a second chance, he'd be a fool not to take it.
Yun Muqing was scared pale by Li Dafu's scary expression and she instinctively hid behind Chu Feng's broad shoulders, who in turn glanced at Li Dafu and said, "You brought this onto yourself. After sexually assaulting several innocent girls and almost corrupting an underage girl, you were lucky no one shot you on the spot."
"Bulls*it!" Li Dafu roared self-righteously. "Those girls were lucky I desired them in the first place! Endless riches just by stripping their clothes and spreading their legs? Where else would you get a golden opportunity like this?"
