Chapter 794: Chapter 791: Who Threatens Whom?

Lin Tian’s action had given Lai Xiucheng quite a scare. Just now, he had clearly seen Lin Tian effortlessly crush a steel pipe with his hand. If he were to grip his leg like that, he would be crippled instantly.

"Doctor Lai, please don’t move. If your hand accidentally presses the call button, I might get nervous during the examination and apply too much pressure, which would be unfortunate," Lin Tian said calmly.

Lai Xiucheng had indeed been about to press the call button by his bed to summon the nurses, but upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, he carefully withdrew his hand.

"What... what are you planning to do? Don’t mess around, this is a hospital," Lai Xiucheng said nervously.

Lin Tian did not respond to him but reached over to examine his plastered leg. In fact, his X-ray vision had already scanned Lai Xiucheng’s entire leg. Lai Xiucheng’s left leg was not only free of any fractures, but it also didn’t have any external injuries.

"Why are you pretending to be injured here? Tell me, what is your purpose? It’s just the two of us here; no one else can hear," Lin Tian asked indifferently, confident in his deductions.

Lai Xiucheng first looked at Lin Tian, then suddenly smiled, took down his suspended plastered leg, stretched out comfortably, and stopped feigning illness, appearing as if his previous nervousness had been an act.

"Lin Tian, you truly are a straightforward person. However, you’re mistaken. Whether I am pretending to be injured is not for you or me to decide, but for the doctors at the hospital to determine, don’t you think?" Lai Xiucheng replied with a smile, obviously playing dumb.

"Did Sun Decai ask you to do this? With the salary of a school doctor, staying in this kind of private hospital seems unlikely unless someone else is footing the bill. Otherwise, would you be so leisurely hospitalized?" Lin Tian countered calmly.

"I don’t know what you are talking about, but since you asked me to be straightforward, I’d rather not beat around the bush. Everyone knows we have a grudge. If word of my fall spreads, and someone carelessly links it to you, what do you think others will speculate, and will the school expel you?" Lai Xiucheng’s eyes flashed coldly as he spoke blandly.

Lin Tian’s gaze flickered, but he still responded with a smile, "Are you threatening me?"

"Threatening you? It’s really a question of who is threatening whom!" Lai Xiucheng, somewhat annoyed, spoke in a low voice, "You are a student, and I am a school doctor. We have always stayed out of each other’s way, and because of just one dispute, you had the principal punish me. Don’t think I don’t know that once the former school doctor returns, you plan to have me fired!"

Lai Xiucheng had no sense of wrongdoing about that incident, and regarding his behavior of taking advantage of female students, he did not think he was in the wrong, so he argued so self-righteously.

"With just one word from you, I could lose my job and even be unable to find a foothold in Xikou City. So tell me, who is really threatening whom?" Lai Xiucheng said, his voice rising with emotion.

"Let’s assume I am threatening you. What is your purpose for faking a fall and injury? Speak up, I’m not a patient person," Lin Tian said, unwilling to argue further with someone he considered beyond help.

"I don’t ask for much. Just have Principal Yan revoke my punishment, and we can consider our grudge settled. From then on, we will stay out of each other’s way, you as a student and I as a school doctor," Lai Xiucheng stated coldly.

"And if I refuse?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

Lai Xiucheng narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Then don’t blame me for a fight to the death."

"A fight to the death? You are not qualified for that. It’s more likely the fish dies but the net remains unbroken. You do what you think you need to do, I have no objections. Actually, I came today just to see what Sun Decai was up to. Since you’re unwilling to speak, I’m not going to waste my time with you," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, then turned and walked away.

Until Lin Tian disappeared outside the door, Lai Xiucheng suddenly felt weak, his forehead kept breaking out in cold sweat, he looked completely horrified, lacking the toughness he had before.

He calmed himself for a while before making a phone call, Sun Decai’s voice came from the mobile phone.

"How is it? Are the hospital conditions satisfactory? Private hospitals are many times better than public ones, and of course, the nursing service is the best," Sun Decai’s voice rang out with a hint of a smile.

If Lin Tian had heard this comment, he would definitely have blasted him, damn, daring to praise the nurse’s service without seeing how temperamental the little nurse at the information desk was.

Lai Xiucheng of course also thought the private hospital was good, and the little nurses pretty, but right now he didn’t have the mind to care about those things, instead he said, "Lin Tian just came looking for me."

"What? Lin Tian found you?" Sun Decai’s voice was somewhat surprised, he curiously said, "I specifically instructed the attending physician and the nurse station that no one but me is allowed to visit. How did Lin Tian know which ward you’re in? Without the nurse’s assistance, he couldn’t possibly know your ward."

"How should I know? Do you think I’ve lost my mind and told him myself?" Lai Xiucheng said somewhat irritably, suspecting that it might have been Sun Decai who let it slip.

"Did he hurt you in any way?" Sun Decai asked.

"He didn’t do anything to me, but it was a close call. I nearly had one of my legs broken by him," Lai Xiucheng said, somewhat scared.

Sun Decai was silent for a while, then said, "You don’t understand Lin Tian. If he really wanted to cripple you, there wouldn’t be an ’almost.’ You can still talk to me comfortably because he didn’t think you were worth the effort."

"Lin Tian is a proud man, not everyone is qualified to make him take action," Sun Decai said softly, his emotions unclear as he spoke.

"Easy for you to say, he crushed a steel pipe with one hand. If it had been my neck, I would be dead," Lai Xiucheng still said irritably.

It was his life being threatened, not Sun Decai’s, of course he was irritated by Sun Decai’s irresponsible remarks.

"I’ve told you, Lin Tian doesn’t make a move easily. Did you say something to provoke him?" Sun Decai asked back.

Lai Xiucheng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I... I threatened him a bit, told him to go find Principal Yan and have my punishment revoked. I don’t care about losing my job, but if I can’t work in this field anymore, who am I going to cry to?"

"You’re being foolish, who do you think Lin Tian is to be threatened?" Sun Decai was very annoyed, angrily saying, "If you just did as I told you, the Principal wouldn’t punish you, he would even kindly ask you to come back, but instead, you had to create these unnecessary complications, totally incompetent and more trouble than you’re worth, you’re driving me to death!"

"I thought, spreading the rumor that he pushed me down the stairs could threaten him. Is there any problem with that?" Lai Xiucheng felt he was right, he had always found Sun Decai unreliable, needing to make a move for himself.

"Fuck!" Sun Decai burst out, yelling, "Right now I want to push you down the stairs myself to knock some sense into you, really, your head’s filled with nothing but mush!"
