o be okay, but she too needs to rest and recover for a few days!" When mentioning the old lady, Old Grandpa Zhuo still had an expression of disbelief in his eyes."Old Master, please lend us your hand...Chapter 150: Conflict

Seeing Xiao Yu and Jin Hong's expressions, Zhang Shaohua and Wang Bifen had a look of embarrassment on their faces, while Wang Manjiang and Li Zhanjun appeared disdainful, disapproving of Xiao Yu's behavior.

Although Jin Hong also had her own backing, and they all knew who it was, in their eyes, even if her backers were powerful, they couldn't do anything about them. They had already given due respect to the person behind Jin Hong by coming here for a meal, and Jin Hong was merely a plaything of that person's.

After the hostess finished her toast and left the private room, as soon as Xiao Yu sat down at his seat, he sensed something amiss. Before he could figure out why, the commotion from outside interrupted him.

The courtyard occasionally resounded with shouts of anger and the hostess's attempts to pacify them. Although Xiao Yu wanted to go see what was happening, upon seeing everyone in the room listening intently for a moment, he decided not to intervene and continued drinking and chatting.

At this point, people inside had regained their composure. Zhang Shaohua said to Xiao Yu, "Brother Xiao, don't take it personally, but you don’t need to be so polite to women like Jin Hong!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu understood the reason for the odd atmosphere in the room earlier; it was because his drinking had offended them.

"Haha, I think, no matter what, we shouldn't bully women at a banquet," said Xiao Yu with a light laugh.

As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, the relaxed mood inside the room turned tense again. Wang Manjiang and others cautiously glanced at Zhang Shaohua; even Wang Mingfu looked surprised at Xiao Yu and Zhang Shaohua's exchange.

Although what Xiao Yu said made them lose face too, it was Zhang Shaohua who lost most of his dignity.

Zhang Shaohua, as the secretary to the city party chief, enjoyed early success in life; no one dared speak to him like this. They all waited for Zhang Shaohua to blow up.

Wang Mingfu was also waiting for Zhang Shaohua to lose his temper so he could step in and mediate, thereby doing Xiao Yu a favor by repaying the debt of gratitude owed for rescuing his grandson.

In his view, Xiao Yu was merely a fresh graduate who had just started as a doctor. He didn't know how he got to know Zhang Shaohua and those people, but now he must be seeking their help with something related to the clinic. When Zhang Shaohua loses his temper, he asks them to calm him down and then requests them to assist Xiao Yu in resolving the issue so as to repay a favor.

In his opinion, everything had its value, and for someone like Xiao Yu from society's lower strata, what seemed like an overwhelmingly significant matter could be resolved with just one sentence. Since Xiao Yu had saved his grandson, he would help him settle what he considered the most important issue, thereby offsetting the favor owed to him.

Deep down in Wang Mingfu’s heart, for someone like Xiao Yu who was struggling at society's bottom, a casual remark from himself could be of immense help and simultaneously repay the favor Xiao Yu had done. This is also why he didn't intend for his family nearby to get acquainted with Xiao Yu.

"Alright… it's my fault for bullying women!" Zhang Shaohua said with a forced smile on his face.

Wang Mingfu and Wang Manjiang were waiting for Zhang Shaohua to lose his temper, but they never expected him not only to remain calm but also apologize. This made them sense something was amiss.

They thought they had figured out the background of Xiao Yu, believing that he must have treated Chu Guoqing's family members before. After Wang Mingfu mentioned that Xiao Yu saved his grandson, they became even more convinced about this reason. However, upon seeing Zhang Shaohua’s reaction now, they realized their assumption was incorrect. If it were just about treating Chu Guoqing's family, Zhang Shaohua wouldn't treat him like this.

Wang Mingfu’s eyes narrowed slightly with suspicion as he looked at Xiao Yu. At the moment, his heart was somewhat shaken. Although Zhang Shaohua wasn’t worth mentioning to Wang Mingfu, in others' eyes, Zhang Shaohua was an incredibly influential character. That a person like Xiao Yu could make Zhang Shaohua act this way showed that he was no ordinary doctor.

Neither of Wang Mingfu's son or daughter had chosen the political career path but instead opted for business after his retirement. This was because, in order to pave the way for their children, he needed to behave amiably everywhere he went. Otherwise, even if he were dead and protected by the Chu family, there would still be no major issues, but they couldn’t seek help for every little matter, especially since relations would fade after the old Mr. Chu passed away.

"Brother Zhang, you overstate it; I was just being dramatic!" After saying that sentence earlier, Xiao Yu also felt something wasn't right since he hadn't had much interaction with the others and they had already helped him several times. Upon hearing Zhang Shaohua's words now, it made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Haha… myself…"

“Bang…”

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's response, the anger in Zhang Shaohua's heart instantly vanished without a trace. He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Xiao Yu stand up with an expression of fury and rush outwards, not even noticing that he had bumped into a chair behind him.

Just as Xiao Yu finished speaking, he heard the yelling in the courtyard getting louder and recognized a familiar voice among them. He hurriedly ran out.

Zhang Shaohua saw Xiao Yu run out and, after listening to the commotion outside, hesitated for a moment before standing up. Addressing Wang Mingfu and Wang Manjiang, he said, "Old Wang, Mr. Wang, and Director Li, you all wait here; I will go see what's happening."

Given Zhang Shaohua's status, they were not suitable to go out, as the people involved in this fight weren’t simple individuals. Sometimes, their presence could make things worse. Nevertheless, since Xiao Yu had already gone out, he felt compelled to follow.

The moment Xiao Yu stepped out of the private room, he spotted a crowd gathered in the northwest corner of the courtyard. With the swiftness and ferocity of a mountain tiger descending upon its prey, he rushed over. If there were any experts around, they would notice that each step Xiao Yu took was well over two meters long. Urgency compelled him to unconsciously adopt the Tiger Form from Wu Qin Xi — the powerful descent of a mountain tiger.

Reaching the outskirts of the crowd, he quickly parted it and went inside. Upon seeing the situation within, his eyes narrowed slightly as an overwhelming killing intent radiated outwards from his body.

Wei Jun stood in the center of the crowd with a bleeding face, swaying dangerously on the verge of falling over at any moment. Behind him were three or four men around his age lying motionless, their fates uncertain. A burly man dressed entirely in black was about to kick Wei Jun, who was wobbling unsteadily.

The black-clad man, showing no emotion on his face, suddenly retracted his leg and stepped back when a violent killing intent came from the side. Realizing it was an overwhelming force of anger, he quickly withdrew, positioning himself between two young people to guard against Xiao Yu's approach.

Seeing that the black-clad man had backed off, Xiao Yu swiftly moved over to stabilize Wei Jun, asking, "Brother Jun, are you okay"

"I'm fine, Xiao Yu. What are you doing here" Wei Jun wobbled as he was steadied by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu didn't answer but instead extended his hand to take Wei Jun's wrist and began taking his pulse. After a moment, he released Wei Jun's wrist and stared coldly at the black-clad man and the two young people behind him.

From the pulse-taking, Xiao Yu found that Wei Jun not only had severe external injuries but also some internal organs were displaced, indicating the brutal force of the attacks from the black-clad man.

Xiao Yu had a frosty expression as he helped Wei Jun sit down on the ground. He then took out a golden needle and swiftly inserted it into several points on Wei Jun's chest without any fuss, followed by slapping Wei Jun’s back.

"Pfft..."

Three.

The moment Xiao Yu slapped Wei Jun's back, a mouthful of dark red blood spewed out. After this, Wei Jun felt his breathing become much easier and anxiously said to Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you need to leave quickly! You can't handle them!"

"Heh heh, too late for that now!" A young man behind the black-clothed figure sneered as he spoke to both Xiao Yu and Wei Jun.

“Brother Jun, sit still, I’ve just reset your internal organs; you shouldn’t move around much!” Ignoring the speaking youth, Xiao Yu instructed the seated Wei Jun.

"Damn it! He’s ignoring me! This is asking for death. A-Hu, go and cripple one of his arms and legs!" The young man, seeing that Xiao Yu had ignored him, became infuriated and ordered the youth who had previously wanted to kick Wei Jun.

Xiao Yu lifted his head to look at this young man; at some point, several more black-clothed individuals had gathered around them. The one who originally intended to kick Wei Jun now looked much less tense.

The black-clothed man heard the young man's order and showed a reluctant expression before glancing at him.

"What A-Hu! Don’t forget your position!" The young man, seeing that the black-clad figure hadn't moved, narrowed his eyes coldly.

The black-clothed man named Ah Hu, upon hearing this, shuddered and showed a bitter expression. He then turned around and stepped forward several paces, his face serious as he stared at Xiao Yu. The intense killing intent that flashed on Xiao Yu just now made him think it was an illusion.

With no emotion in his voice, the black-clothed man said to Xiao Yu, "Don’t blame me; you have only yourself to blame for crossing those who shouldn’t be crossed!ss suddenly said to Xiao Yu's group."Yes! Is the boss too" Xiao Yu's group asked curiously."Yes, I've been here for almost ten years!" This boss originally had a southern accent but would occasionally...
