Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Malicious Zhao Qiuju

Qiuju Restaurant.

From afar, Zhao Qiuju had seen Guan Hong arrive and her heart already swelled with joy.

Even a big shot like Guan Hong had come; it seemed that Chen Xuan’s assault had become a grave matter.

The thought that the restaurant under the bridge would have to close after just one day of business, and that annoying fellow Chen Xuan would face the grim fate of prison, filled Zhao Qiuju with a sense of triumph.

Dare to snatch her Zhao Qiuju’s business, dare to embarrass her, Zhao Qiuju, in front of the neighbors, this was the outcome!

At this moment, Zhao Chunmei, who had gone to see the commotion, rushed in panicked.

"How is it, sis? Is that Chen Xuan getting arrested?" Zhao Qiuju asked with pride.

But Zhao Chunmei’s face was one of terror, "Arrest? What arrest? A big problem has occurred!"

Zhao Chunmei then recounted what had just happened.

Clatter!

The water glass in Zhao Qiuju’s hand dropped to the floor and shattered from the fright.

"What... what did you say? Meng Jinzhou, licking... licking the floor? You’re joking, right?"

"What joke? So many people saw it! Yuan Tong and Guan Hong were both siding with Chen Xuan!"

Zhao Qiuju was completely dumbfounded; she had never dreamed that such a thing could happen.

"Qiuju, what on earth is going on with that Chen Xuan? How could big shots like Guan Hong and Yuan Tong give him face?" Zhao Chunmei was also extremely confused.

Zhao Qiuju snorted coldly, "Just because he’s a country bumpkin from the sticks doesn’t mean he has any face, it’s all because of a woman!"

"Yeah, how could I not have thought of that! Guan Hong and Yuan Tong must know Han Jingting, so they would help the bastard out!"

"Han Jingting doesn’t have that much face either, in my opinion, it must be because Han Jingting has slept with Guan Hong and Yuan Tong; that’s why they’re willing to help..."

Zhao Qiuju spoke venomously, wishing to splatter the filthiest of dirty water on anyone associated with Chen Xuan.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking.

Slap!

A resounding slap landed squarely on her face, sending her flying sideways, crashing into a row of tables and chairs.

By the time Zhao Qiuju managed to clamber up from the ground, her mouth was bloody, five or six teeth knocked out, and half of her face swollen like a pig’s head!

At the entrance of the restaurant, Chen Xuan had led Guan Hong, Yuan Tong, and their company, though unknown to her, they had already arrived.

"If I hear you speak ill of my wife behind her back one more time, you won’t be alive!"

Chen Xuan glared at Zhao Qiuju and roared angrily.

Wailing, Zhao Qiuju burst into tears and threw a tantrum on the ground, "Everyone come and see, there’s murder afoot! This son-in-law of the Han Family, picking on a weak woman like me! Wuu wuu wuu..."

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, Guan Hong shouted angrily, "Shut your mouth! Daring to throw mud on Director Yuan and me, and dragging Boss Chen’s wife through the mud, a slap is letting you off easy! Cry out one more time, and see if I don’t charge you with the crime of false accusation on the spot!"

Zhao Qiuju quickly shut her mouth out of fear.

In front of Chen Xuan, she dared to make a fuss, but in front of a high official like Guan Hong, she didn’t dare offend even if she had ten times the courage.

Zhao Chunmei pointed at Chen Xuan and accused, "Look at you, Chen Xuan, we’re neighbors after all, yet you lay such a vicious hand on Qiuju. You’re truly heartless!"

Chen Xuan sneered, "When you accused our restaurant and wanted us to shut down, did you remember we were neighbors? When you poured your dirty water on my wife and sullied her innocence, did you think about our neighborly ties?"

"I..." Overwhelmed, Zhao Chunmei was rendered speechless.

With a grim expression, Yuan Tong announced, "I am formally notifying you now: due to failing hygiene standards, your restaurant will cease operations for a month effective immediately, until standards are met."

Subsequently, several staff members brought out seal tapes and completely sealed off the entire Qiuju Restaurant.

Zhao Qiuju was in despair, sitting on the ground with a thud.

Her rent was tens of thousands a month, and closing for a month was practically costing her life!

However, Chen Xuan felt not the slightest sympathy for her.

Luckily, he knew people like Guan Hong and Yuan Tong. If it were an ordinary person, wouldn’t they be ruined by Zhao Qiuju’s false accusation?

Zhao Qiuju’s current predicament was entirely of her own making!

"Consider this a lesson. If there’s a next time, you won’t be so lucky," he said.

After saying that, Chen Xuan turned and left, leaving Zhao Qiuju in utter despair.

"Boss Chen, may I have a word?"

After returning to the noodle shop, Yuan Tong called Chen Xuan aside.

"Director Yuan, what can I do for you?"

Chen Xuan was still polite due to the help he had received from Yuan Tong before.

Because he had some guesses about Chen Xuan’s identity, Yuan Tong was somewhat nervous when facing him.

"Boss Chen, I heard from Director Guan that you’re quite skilled in medicine?"

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "I have some understanding. Is there something you need help with, Director Yuan?"

"Actually, it’s for a friend of mine. Well, not really my friend, but a friend introduced by my former superior."

Yuan Tong had risen to his position thanks to that former superior’s support.

Although the superior had been transferred, his influence was still significant.

The patient introduced by the superior was very secretive, unwilling to reveal their identity or even their ailments.

All Yuan Tong knew was that the patient came from Nanjiang, and their status was extraordinary.

Yuan Tong was counting on his former superior’s future support, so he wanted to take credit for this task.

Unfortunately, Yuan Tong had already consulted many of Huai City’s renowned doctors to no avail. Today, he heard from Guan Hong about Chen Xuan’s medical expertise, which is why he came to ask for Chen Xuan’s help.

Hearing Yuan Tong’s story, Chen Xuan nodded.

Today he owed Yuan Tong a favor, and since he would be dealing with public health authorities for his noodle shop in Huai City, he readily agreed.

That evening, Chen Xuan drove to the agreed-upon location, the presidential suite on the top floor of Haiyue Hotel.

Haiyue was a five-star hotel, and the price for one night in the presidential suite ran into tens of thousands.

As Yuan Tong said, it seemed that the patient’s identity was indeed special.

"Boss Chen, the patient is inside, thank you in advance!"

Yuan Tong opened the door for Chen Xuan but stayed outside himself.

As Chen Xuan entered, he saw a figure sitting on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette.

In his thirties, with a distinct aura of authority.

"Hello, my name is Chen Xuan...," he began to greet as he approached.

But before Chen Xuan could finish his sentence, the man directly interrupted, "Which medical college did you graduate from?"

"Which hospital are you working at now?"

"How long have you been practicing medicine?"

Chen Xuan gave a wry smile. The man bombarded him with questions upon arrival. Nowadays, was giving a medical consultation equivalent to an interrogation?
