Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 24: Chapter 24: This Woman Is Just Asking For It!

Zhu Yan caught sight of Meng Hailiang and knew the incident had blown up. She hurried over to apologize, taking all the blame on herself.

”I’m sorry, Director. It’s all my fault. This has nothing to do with Doctor Sun.”

Sun Zhe would never hide behind a woman. He quickly pulled Zhu Yan aside, stared straight at Meng Hailiang, and declared, ”I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m the one who hit him!”

”Director Zhao was harassing a female colleague. I couldn’t hold back and taught the scumbag a lesson.”

”Sun Zhe, you’re spouting bullshit!” Zhao Junjiang suddenly roared, pointing a finger at Sun Zhe’s nose. ”How dare you spout such nonsense in front of the Director!”

”You little bastard, don’t you dare try to twist the facts. Which of your damn eyes saw me harassing a female colleague?”

Saying this, he turned to Meng Hailiang, his voice filled with righteous indignation. ”Director, Sun Zhe started a fight on his very first day! Fire him immediately! Our hospital doesn’t need hooligans like him!”

Watching Zhao Junjiang’s self-righteous act, Sun Zhe fought the urge to go over and tear him to pieces.

This scum is truly one of a kind.

Zhao Junjiang looked at Sun Zhe defiantly. ”What’s wrong, Sun Zhe? Cat got your tongue? Weren’t you so arrogant when you were hitting me just now?”

”Now that the Director is here, where’d all that arrogance go?”

At this moment, he could already imagine the tragic fate awaiting Sun Zhe.

SLAP!

The next moment, a loud slap unexpectedly landed on his face.

”Director, you...”

Stunned by the slap, Zhao Junjiang held his face and stared blankly at Meng Hailiang.

The slap had come from Meng Hailiang himself!

He never imagined his own brother-in-law would slap him in public.

”Director, he’s the one who started the fight! Why did you hit me?” Zhao Junjiang’s face was a mask of grievance.

HMPH!

Meng Hailiang snorted coldly and said sternly, ”Zhao Junjiang, I slapped you as your brother-in-law!”

After a brief internal struggle, Meng Hailiang had ultimately chosen to sacrifice his wife’s brother.

After all, Sun Zhe was someone District Chief Li had specifically instructed him to look after! Meng Hailiang wouldn’t dare offend a figure like District Chief Li, not even if he had ten times the courage.

”Zhao Junjiang, you were the one harassing female colleagues, yet you dare to make false accusations! Do you really think no one can put you in your place?!”

At that moment, the area fell silent.

The onlookers stared at Zhao Junjiang’s swollen face, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction. At the same time, they were utterly surprised. The Director hadn’t sided with his own brother-in-law, instead favoring a brand-new assistant from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department!

The sun must have risen from the west today!

Just then, an unbelievable scene unfolded. Meng Hailiang approached Sun Zhe with a face wreathed in smiles, wearing an obsequious and fawning expression.

”Please excuse this embarrassing display, Divine Doctor Sun. I’ll be sure to discipline this scumbag properly later!”

With that, he shot a glare back at Zhao Junjiang and said coldly, ”What are you still standing here for? Get out! I’ll settle the score with you later!”

Zhao Junjiang clutched his face, a pathetic, aggrieved look in his eyes. He cast a venomous glare at Sun Zhe before turning to leave.

Meng Hailiang then looked around at the crowd and waved his hand. ”Alright, alright, show’s over! Everyone, disperse and get back to work!”

A short while later, after the crowd had dispersed, Sun Zhe looked at Meng Hailiang in confusion. ”Director, what was that all about?”

He truly hadn’t expected Meng Hailiang to not side with his own brother-in-law. He had already braced himself for being fired.

Meng Hailiang patted Sun Zhe’s shoulder, his expression serious. ”I know exactly what kind of person Zhao Junjiang is. I frequently receive reports about him harassing female colleagues, and even female patients. I’ve been fed up with him for a long time!”

”As the Director, I must naturally be impartial and selfless!”

”Heh heh... Divine Doctor Sun, you have to put in a good word for me with District Chief Li later.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe finally understood.

So that’s it. It’s because of Li Gang.

「Elsewhere.」

Zhao Junjiang cursed under his breath as he walked out of the cafeteria.

That little bastard Sun Zhe... Why on earth would my brother-in-law side with him? Damn it! This is so humiliating! But judging by my brother-in-law’s attitude, I probably shouldn’t mess with him directly anymore. Still, I can’t just swallow this insult! No, I have to get my revenge!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he remembered a patient in the orthopedics department.

That’s right, I can go to Young Master Zhou! As far as I know, he has a thing for older, married women like Zhu Yan. Heh... Zhu Yan, oh, Zhu Yan. If I, Zhao Junjiang, can’t fuck you, then I’ll let someone else do it! As for that bastard Sun Zhe, even with my brother-in-law’s protection, he’s nothing compared to Young Master Zhou! Once he pisses off Young Master Zhou, his life is going to be hell!

Thinking of his revenge plan, Zhao Junjiang suddenly felt a great deal of his frustration ease.

「On the second floor of the cafeteria.」

Watching Meng Hailiang’s departing figure, Zhu Yan was filled with doubt. She turned to Sun Zhe and asked, ”Ah Zhe, what’s going on? Why is Director Meng so polite to you? He even called you Divine Doctor.”

She wracked her brains but couldn’t figure it out. It was only Sun Zhe’s first day. How had he already crossed paths with someone as high-up as the director?

”Stepmom, actually, it’s like this...”

Sun Zhe didn’t plan on hiding anything from Zhu Yan, so he truthfully recounted the events of the morning.

「A moment later.」

After understanding the full story, Zhu Yan couldn’t help but feel proud of Sun Zhe.

”I never expected you to have such incredible medical skills! To think you saved District Chief Li’s father.”

After lunch, Sun Zhe parted ways with Zhu Yan, agreeing to go home together after work.

He returned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department office and lay down on the small sofa to take a nap.

The seconds ticked by.

While he was dozing, there was a sudden knock on the office door.

Sun Zhe thought a patient had arrived and immediately perked up.

He was about to see his first patient! The thought brought a small thrill of excitement.

”Come in!”

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, Sun Zhe saw a familiar face.

It was District Chief Li’s daughter, Li Shiyan!

”Why is it you?”

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, with her tall, curvaceous figure and fair skin, Sun Zhe was a little surprised.

Li Shiyan wore tight jeans that perfectly accentuated the lines of her lower body, her long, straight legs making it hard to look away. Her crop top revealed a sliver of smooth, white abdomen and a cute navel. Above that, two impressive, perky peaks were barely contained by mesh fabric, their scale quite remarkable.

As Sun Zhe sized her up, he realized he hadn’t gotten a good look at her this morning. Now, seeing her up close, he had to admit she was a rare beauty, every bit as stunning as Ye Qiao.

Li Shiyan’s beautiful eyes held a hint of cold arrogance as she retorted, ”Why can’t it be me? Am I not allowed to come?”

Truthfully, she hadn’t wanted to come here to find Sun Zhe at all. Initially, she had felt a mix of guilt and gratitude toward him for saving her grandfather. But when her grandfather and father ordered her to deliberately get close to him, that gratitude curdled into a strange sense of disgust. She knew exactly what they were implying. Unfortunately, she couldn’t disobey a direct order from her father and grandfather, so she had no choice but to seek Sun Zhe out, treating it as just another task to be completed. Born into a family like hers, she had no say in who she associated with or what kind of life she led.

Sun Zhe looked at the coldly arrogant Li Shiyan, the memory of the slap she’d given him this morning surfacing in his mind.

To be honest, he didn’t have a very good impression of her.

”Do you need something from me?”

”What a stupid question,” Li Shiyan said, her voice frosty. ”I’m in a hospital, looking for a doctor. What else would I be here for besides getting a check-up?”

Sun Zhe asked patiently, ”What seems to be the problem?”

Li Shiyan’s expression was blank. She shot him a cold glance and said, ”I have no idea what’s wrong with me. I was just told to come find you. Aren’t you the doctor? You figure it out.”

Seeing her condescending attitude, Sun Zhe felt an urge to curse.

This woman is just here to piss me off, with that high-and-mighty attitude. She’s really asking for a good fucking. A few rounds in bed and she’d probably learn some manners.

Cursing inwardly, Sun Zhe stood and walked to his desk. ”Alright, have a seat over here. I’ll check your pulse.”
