Chapter 98 Who Threatens Whom

  "In the summer, he didn't give Liu Qi a chance to speak, and after glancing at Han Han, he continued: 'Actually, I'm not very interested in your wife, but that little girl is too troublesome. In order to be able to scold her with a clear conscience, I had to take your wife away. Of course, if that little girl doesn't bother me again in the future, I won't bother taking your wife away.'"

  "Wow......" Hanhan suddenly burst into loud sobs, "Mom, I don't want the bad egg God Doctor brother to be my dad, and I don't want to be his wife either. I don't want him to spank me every day, waaahhh..."

  "Now you know better, right?" Xia Tian looked at Han Han with a hint of triumph, originally the little girl still had a way to deal with it.

  Liu Qi was furious: "You little brat, you flirt with my wife and intimidate my daughter. If I don't teach you a lesson, I'm not a man!"

  "You were never a man to begin with, you're just a eunuch."

  "You think you're superior just because you know a bit of medicine?!" The infuriated Liu Qi glared at Xia Tian with a gnashing expression, "I'm telling you right now, I'll make sure you can never practice medicine again!"

  After saying this, Liu Qi turned to the fat-headed and big-eared man beside him: "Director Zheng, he is the person I told you about!"

  "Huh?" The fat-headed and big-eared guy had been keeping his eyes on Mei Ruoting, but after Liu Qi said that, he finally shifted his gaze to Xia Tian, asking in a nonchalant tone: "You're the so-called divine doctor who practices medicine illegally and cheats people?"

  "Who are you?" Xia Tian glared at the guy, and it was true that this guy and Liu Qi were a perfect match, one as thin as a stick and the other as fat as a pig.

  "This is Director Zheng Tiancheng of the Jianghai City Health Bureau, surnamed Xia. You're lucky to have fallen into his hands for practicing medicine illegally!" Liu Qi sneered and continued, looking quite pleased with himself.

  Zheng Tiancheng also spoke up, "I heard your name is Xia Tian? Young man, even if you have some real skills, but as a person, you can't be too greedy, right? You treat someone's illness and charge them tens or hundreds of thousands, that's nothing, but you always ask for tens of millions, wanting half of their property, what's the difference between this and extortion?"

  "If you can't bear to part with your children, you can't catch the wolf; if you can't bear to part with your money, you can't cure a terminal illness. When people are dead, what's the use of having more money?" Xia Tian curled his lips and looked at the fatty, as if he was about to reason with him again, so he also started reasoning with the fatty.

  "That's what I'm saying, but you're asking for a price that's a bit too high, aren't you?" Zheng Tiancheng narrowed his eyes. "Young man, looking at your outfit, I reckon you don't have much money right now, so you're eager to make some cash. But wanting to make money isn't about doing it this way - you can't expect one patient to turn you into a millionaire overnight, right? Actually, if you lower the price, President Liu will also introduce other patients to you in the future, and your income will only increase. Doesn't that sound reasonable?"

  "Oh, you're much more pleasant to talk to than that dead monkey," Xia Tian said casually. "Unfortunately, I'm really annoyed with this dead monkey and can't wait for him to die of illness. So either he gives me half his property or he can just wait for death. Who let this dead monkey call me a swindler? I was originally going to treat him for free!"

  "Listen, kid. Old Lui might be a bit off, but anyway, give me some face and I'll get him to give you one million. You just cure his illness, how about that?" Zheng Tiancheng said with a smile, but his eyes kept darting towards Mei Ruoting, who looked quite alluring in her current outfit.

  "Absolutely not," Xia Tian said with a wave of his hand. "My rule is one million for saving a life, and half the price for retrieving a corpse."

  Zheng Tiānchéng was finally very unhappy. As the director, he had been negotiating with this young man for so long and had already given him a lot of face, but this young man still didn't know his place?

  "Hey kid, you really don't want to give me some face?" Zheng Tiancheng's expression turned gloomy.

  "I'm not familiar with you, why should I give you face?" Xia Tian retorted. He didn't talk to this guy so much because he wanted to give him face, but since the guy wanted to reason with him, he would reason with him. If the guy didn't want to be reasonable, then he could be even more unreasonable.

  "You don't know how to behave!" Zheng Tiancheng finally got angry, "Alright, Xia Tian, as the director of the Municipal Health Bureau, I'm telling you that you don't have a medical license. From now on, if you engage in any medical practice, I will punish you accordingly. If you charge 10,000 yuan, I'll fine you 100,000 yuan; if you charge 1 million yuan, I'll fine you 10 million yuan!"

  It's not cool in summer either, he glared at Zheng Tiancheng: "Are you threatening me?"

  "What's the big deal if I threaten you?" Zheng Tiancheng sneered, "If you know what's good for you, you'll immediately cure Mr. Liu's illness, otherwise, don't even think about continuing in this line of work, go be a migrant worker!"

  "Who wants my husband to be a migrant worker?" A melodious voice came, and a beautiful girl appeared beside Xia Tian. The girl was also dressed in casual clothes like Xia Tian, but the quality of her clothes was much better, although the brand couldn't be seen, the workmanship was quite exquisite.

  "It's me, how..." Zheng Tiancheng continued smoothly, but his face suddenly changed because he had already seen the girl's appearance clearly at this time. His face turned pale and he stuttered: "Qiao, Miss Qiao..."

  The girl was Qiao Xiaoqiao, she had just parked her car and took a moment to tidy up in the car, so she was delayed for a bit. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw someone threatening to make Xia Tian work as a laborer, which made her very angry.

  "So it was Director Zheng." Qiao Xiaoqiao's pretty face flashed with a hint of coldness, "Director Zheng, were you the one who just said to let my husband go work as a laborer?"

  "Miss Qiao, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I just didn't know he was you..." Zheng Tiancheng finally reacted and hastily explained, unknowingly already sweating profusely. He had no idea that this guy dressed like a migrant worker was actually Qiao Xiaoqiao's husband. If he really knew, even with a hundred times more courage, he wouldn't dare to bother Xia Tian.

  Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't have the mood to listen to his explanation, she cut off Zheng Tiancheng's words: "Director Zheng, do you believe I can make you go work as a porter right now?"

  "I believe, I believe." Zheng Tiancheng bowed his head, almost crying out loud. He naturally understood the power of the Qiao family.

  "We still have things to do tonight, so we won't bother with you, but I'm telling you, if you dare to fine my husband, I'll replace you as the head of the health bureau. If anyone else fines him, I'll replace that new head too, until no one dares to fine my husband!" Qiao Xiaoqiao said coldly.

  "Miss Qiao, I guarantee that this kind of thing won't happen again. In fact, I believe it's just a misunderstanding. Dr. Xia's medical license was simply lost by mistake, and we'll get him a replacement as soon as possible, so there won't be any more misunderstandings like this!" Zheng Tiancheng said hastily.

  "Alright, if you handle this properly, I'll pretend nothing happened tonight." Qiao Xiaoqiao smiled faintly and took Xia Tian's arm, "Husband, let's go in first."

  The two of them walked into the villa, closely and intimately, without anyone stopping them. Those servants, even if they hadn't seen Xia Tian before, knew Qiao Xiaoqiao's identity. This was something that Lin Dashi had repeatedly emphasized countless times, and everyone had carefully looked at Qiao Xiaoqiao's photos, long ago memorizing her appearance in their hearts. Who dared to block Qiao Xiaoqiao? Wouldn't that be a dead end?

  But this scene left Liu Qi and Mei Ruoting stunned, although they had not directly interacted with Qiao Xiaoqiao, but they knew Qiao Xiaoqiao's identity. It was just that they never thought that Xia Tian would have such a close relationship with Qiao Xiaoqiao. And Huanhuan, the little girl, also stopped crying at this moment, looking dazedly at the back of Xia Tian and Qiao Xiaoqiao.

  Zheng Tiānchéng was drenched from head to toe, and only when he saw Qiǎo Xiǎoqiǎo disappear from view did he slightly let out a breath of relief. On the one hand, he was grateful that Qiǎo Xiǎoqiǎo was in a good mood today, and on the other hand, he was somewhat pleased with his own quick thinking in offering to help Xià Tiān resolve her medical license issue. This way, who knows, he might even be able to establish a connection with the Qiǎo family, turning disaster into fortune.

  Just then, Zheng Tiancheng suddenly thought that he had almost been brought to disaster by Liu Qi's actions, and he felt extremely angry. He turned around abruptly, staring fiercely at Liu Qi, his teeth clenched in anger, and asked: "Liu, I've always treated you well, do you have to harm me like this?"

  "Director Zheng, you've misunderstood..." Liu Qi's face changed and he hastily tried to explain.

  Zheng Tiānchéng didn't want to give him a chance to explain, he waved his hand with an impatient look: "Misunderstanding? Do you know or not, I almost became a porter! Are you blind? What kind of identity does she have, qualified to cheat you out of such a small amount of money? You didn't see that Miss Qiao didn't even bother with you, it's because you're not worthy enough for her to bother with. If she scolded you a couple of times, it wouldn't be you losing face, but her losing her identity!"

  "Zheng Ju, I really don't know what relationship that kid has with Qiao Xiaoqiao..." Liu Qi couldn't help but explain.

  "What's your attitude? What do you mean by 'that little brat'? That's Xia Shen Yi!" Zheng Tian Cheng shouted at him, "I can see why Xia Shen Yi didn't want to treat you. With an attitude like yours, who wouldn't wish for your death?"

  Liu Qi wanted to say something, but Mei Ruoting spoke first: "Director Zheng, I'm sorry, it's us who have implicated you."

  Mei Ruoting's apology, on the other hand, dissipated Zheng Tiancheng's anger to some extent. At this moment, what he least wanted to hear was an excuse. On the other hand, in Zheng Tiancheng's heart, he had a certain affection for Mei Ruoting. He was also very clear about that little thing with Liu Qi. He always felt that such a beautiful woman like Mei Ruoting was inexplicably following Liu Qi, which was really not worth it.

  "Never mind, Miss Mei. I'll just admit defeat this time. Now I have to hurry back and clean up the mess. I advise you not to attend the cocktail party either, lest Miss Qiao sees something unpleasant." Zheng Tiancheng waved his hand and quickly left, he had to rush to get Xia Tian's medical license sorted out.
