Chapter Eighteen: Brother's Debt, Brother's Repayment
The sudden attack from Zhang Qiu caught everyone off guard. Liu Xiaofei, covering his head, shouted, "Quick, let me go... Help me, hit him, just hit him!"
The two people who had come with Liu Xiaofei snapped back to reality and surrounded Zhang Qiu from both sides. Zhang Qiu released Liu Xiaofei and dodged the attack coming from the left, landing a punch on the opponent's waist. Taking advantage of the moment, he threw a punch at the other person's cheek. However, the advantage did not last long; the three engaged in close combat. Even though Zhang Qiu was able to fend off two opponents, he still took some hits.
After a few breaths, the three temporarily separated to face each other. Zhang Qiu was relatively fine; although he had taken a few hits that hurt quite a bit, there were no obvious injuries. The two opponents fared worse; at first, Zhang Qiu had shown restraint, but later he began to strike their heads with force.
Wang Jinghan watched in shock; she never expected that the usually gentle Zhang Qiu could be so violent. Strangely enough, she found herself not at all repulsed by this display of violence; in fact, she thought it was quite cool!
Seeing that the three of them could do nothing against Zhang Qiu, Liu Xiaofei continued to act tough verbally, but his body betrayed his true feelings. He stood his ground without taking a step forward and pointed at Zhang Qiu while shouting, "Do you know who I am? You dare treat me like this! You should find out who I am; I’m Liu Xiaofei! Do you think I'm someone you can bully so easily? If you have guts, just stand there and don’t run away!"
Zhang Qiu frowned and quickly moved forward, grabbing Liu Xiaofei's pointing finger. He smirked coldly at Liu Xiaofei and began to apply pressure. Just moments ago, Liu Xiaofei had been full of bravado; now he was bent over like a cooked shrimp, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead as his finger bent at an unnatural angle.
"It hurts! It hurts!" Liu Xiaofei screamed.
Zhang Qiu ignored Liu Xiaofei's cries and coldly asked, "Did you agree to what I just said?"
"Ah! I agree, I—I agree." As Zhang Qiu tightened his grip further, Liu Xiaofei could only comply; the pain was excruciating, and he felt as if his hand might break.
"What did you agree to?" Zhang Qiu still did not let go of Liu Xiaofei. If it were someone else, Zhang Qiu might not have gone this far; but since Liu Xiaofei was Liu Xiaolong's brother, it was different. Unable to confront Liu Xiaolong directly had left Zhang Qiu with pent-up frustration. Now it seemed fitting for him to settle scores with Liu Xiaofi.
Zhang Qiu wasn't afraid of any retaliation from Liu Xiaofei in the future. If Liu Xiaofei brought in Liu Xiaolong for revenge, it would indeed be a problem. However, Liu Xiaolong would not know that he was dealing with the son of the injured Zhang Zhi Hua. This incident could serve as a reason for conflict between Zhang Qiu and Liu Xiaolong. In this way, he could achieve his goal while keeping his parents out of it.
This truly worked out in my favor. With this thought in mind, Zhang Qiu couldn't help but increase the pressure on Liu Xiaofei's finger once more.
"Yes, ah! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I promise not to bother Han again," Zhang Qiu suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! Wang Jinghan! I promise not to cause her any trouble."
After hearing this, Zhang Qiu nodded in satisfaction and released Liu Xiaofei's hand, saying, "Let's hurry and leave. Don't embarrass yourself here any longer."
Freed from Zhang Qiu's grip, Liu Xiaofei grimaced and shook his hand; his index finger was swollen badly, and he didn't even dare to bend it. Liu Xiaofei glared at Zhang Qiu, thinking to himself, I will not let you off easily; I will make you suffer a hundred times more.
Zhang Qiu seemed to sense something and shot a glare at Liu Xiaolong, who immediately ran away. The onlookers, including patients and their families, began to applaud. At that moment, the hospital security arrived and looked at Zhang Qiu. Just as Zhang Qiu was about to explain, Wang Jinghan said to one of the security guards, "Brother Wang, this is my boyfriend. Someone was harassing me, and he helped me out."
"Oh! I see. That's good then. Sorry we arrived late," the security guard known as Brother Wang chuckled. He then looked at Zhang Qiu and said, "Good job, brother. She's the beauty of our hospital; make sure to cherish her." With that, he walked away with a smile.
Zhang Qiu watched Brother Wang's departing figure and said to Wang Jinghan, "That Brother Wang seems pretty nice. Also, am I really your boyfriend?"
"Oh my gosh, you scared me! Come on, I'll take you to get some ointment," Wang Jinghan said without waiting for Zhang Qiu's response and pulled him into a pharmacy. She skillfully took out some ointment from a cabinet and rolled up Zhang Qiu's sleeve to apply it on his arm.
Zhang Qiu quickly stopped her, saying, "It's not that serious; it will be fine by tomorrow."
"No way!" Wang Jinghan sprayed some ointment on Zhang Qiu's arm, causing him to yelp in pain.
Wang Jinghan looked at Zhang Qiu speechlessly; he had remained silent when he was just hit but couldn't hold back now that she was applying ointment. Though she thought this way, she still asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!" Zhang Qiu made a pitiful face while looking at Wang Jinghan.
"Then I'll be gentler."
"Okay." Zhang Qiu smiled broadly.
"I give up on you. You didn't make a sound when you were being hit, but you cried out in pain when applying the medicine." Wang Jinghan finished speaking and shoved the medicine bottle into Zhang Qiu's hand, saying, "You hold onto the medicine; I'll pay for it. We need to continue spraying tomorrow, and you promised me not to lie!"
Zhang Qiu held the medicine bottle that Wang Jinghan had forced into his hand, feeling the tingling sensation in his arm, and hesitated for a moment.
Wang Jinghan shot Zhang Qiu a glare and said, "Hurry up and promise me!"
"Alright, alright, I promise you." Zhang Qiu had no choice but to agree.
"That's more like it." After Wang Jinghan finished speaking, her face suddenly flushed red, and she softly added, "Thank you."
"Since you're so kind to take me in, of course I want to help you." Zhang Qiu said, then suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Um, can I still call you Hanhan from now on?"
"Mm." Wang Jinghan thought for a moment and nodded.
"By the way, what happened with Liu Xiaofei?" Zhang Qiu suddenly remembered that he had gotten into a fight for no reason and was still unclear about the situation.
