Chapter 40: Dig One’s Own Grave, Can’t Live

Zheng Yi also heard the conversation between Wei Lan and the other leaders through the earpiece, so Zheng Yi said to Ye Xuan, “Alright, you can go back with your family. According to our police’s judgment, your family acted in self-defense. There won’t be any arrests. Plus, with the footage from the car’s black box, even if they file a lawsuit, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“I understand. Thank you,” Ye Xuan replied.

Afterwards, Ye Xuan and his family left the police station. Ye Chengzong said, “Son, let’s go to the hospital to see Ye Zhen. I’ve known his father for decades.”

But Lin Qiaozhu interjected, “Known for decades? I think they’ve been hating you for decades! I know better than anyone what happened back then. When we were facing difficulties in our business, I saw you unable to sleep every night, losing hair in worry. That Ye Tao, at this time, suddenly wanted to withdraw his shares and even resorted to crying, making a scene, acting like a woman. In the end, you had no choice but to borrow high-interest loans to give him 100,000 yuan. And what did he do? He thought you were trying to cheat him and resented you for over a decade. What kind of person is he?”

Ye Chengzong sighed, “Enough, the past is the past. Regardless, his son’s hand was cut off by our son. We should go and see him.”

“Fine, let’s go!” Lin Qiaozhu reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, in the emergency room of the hospital, Ye Zhen’s wound had been treated and there was no immediate danger to his life. Ye Tao had also arrived at the hospital. He looked at his son’s bare arm and said, “Son, who did this to you? Dad will fight them!”

At this moment, Ye Zhen had lost his arrogance and dominance as an A-class Awakener. He looked innocent and said, “Dad, it was Ye Xuan, Ye Chengzong’s son, who cut off my hand. They saw that I became an A-class Awakener and were afraid that I would grow up and seek revenge on them, so they cut off my hand!”

Ye Tao angrily exclaimed, “Bastard! I’ll make them pay!”

Just then, a doctor walked in and said, “You’re the patient’s family, right? Although the patient’s hand has been cut off, it hasn’t been more than eight hours yet, so it’s possible to reattach it.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Tao anxiously asked, “Can it be reattached? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and reattach my son’s hand!”

The doctor furrowed his brows and said, “Well, you need to settle the previous emergency medical expenses first. In addition, reconnecting a severed limb is a difficult surgery and requires a significant amount of money. You need to pay 100,000 yuan in medical expenses upfront.”

Ye Tao’s face turned pale and he exclaimed, “100,000 yuan? Where am I supposed to find that much money? Is your hospital only concerned about money and not people? Let me tell you, if my son’s hand becomes useless, I won’t let it go. Tomorrow, I’ll hang myself at the entrance of your hospital!”

Ye Zhen also angrily said, “That’s right! Hurry up and perform the surgery, or I’ll expose your hospital and ruin your reputation!”

Upon hearing this, the orthopedic surgeon hesitated for a moment and said, “Fine, I can apply for it. I’ll perform the surgery first, but you have three days to raise the money.”

Ye Tao, displeased, said, “Alright, hurry up and perform the surgery. That bastard’s family, Ye Xuan, is quite wealthy. You won’t be short of the surgery fees!”

At this moment, Ye Tao felt that his family was about to prosper. The medical expenses would definitely be paid by Ye Xuan’s family. Not only that, Ye Tao also planned to demand a hefty compensation from Ye Chengzong and then send Ye Xuan to prison. Only then could he vent his hatred towards Ye Tao.

However, just as the attending physician was about to perform the surgery, he received a multimedia message on his phone.

The attending physician took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a short video.

In the video, Ye Zhen looked arrogant and provocative, blocking a private car and treating ordinary people as ants. In the end, he was killed in anger and brought to the hospital.

Originally, the attending physician was planning to apply for the surgery first and let them raise the money later. As a doctor, he still had some medical ethics. However, his medical ethics only applied to good people. If the other party was arrogant and looked down on others, the attending physician wouldn’t give them any special treatment and would handle the matter impartially.

And this Ye Zhen was obviously the latter. At this moment, the attending physician wondered, what would he do after his hand was reattached? Would he continue to bully ordinary people and treat them as ants?

Therefore, after watching the video, the attending physician coldly said, “I’m sorry, but the hospital is not a charity. If you want the surgery, you need to pay the full surgery fee upfront!”

Ye Tao looked at the doctor, whose attitude had changed, and angrily said, “What did you say? So, if we don’t have the money, my son deserves to live with only one hand? Aren’t you a doctor? Don’t you have any sympathy?”

The doctor replied indifferently, “My sympathy is only for good people. There’s no room for it when it comes to bad people.”

After that, the doctor left the ward and went about his business.

Ye Zhen looked anxious and said, “Dad, I don’t want to live with only one hand. Find a way to raise the money!”

Ye Tao immediately said, “Don’t worry, I’ll call Ye Chengzong, that old dog. It was his son who did this to you. It’s only right for their family to pay for the medical expenses!”

Then, Ye Tao called Ye Chengzong, but the ringtone sounded outside the ward.

Then, Ye Chengzong walked in, holding a phone in his hand, and looked at Ye Tao.

Ye Chengzong was carrying a fruit basket with some fruits inside, and Ye Xuan and Lin Qiaozhu were following behind him.

Upon seeing Ye Chengzong, Ye Tao immediately cursed, “Ye Chengzong, you really raised a beast. Look at what he did to my son! My son is waiting for money for the surgery. Hurry up and compensate!”

Lin Qiaozhu angrily said, “Ye Tao, who are you calling a beast? If it weren’t for your shamelessness and distortion of the facts, would my son be in this state now?”

Ye Tao angrily retorted, “I don’t care about anything else. First, pay for my son’s medical expenses. As for your son going to prison, I’ll settle the score with you later!”
