Chapter 71: Peng Long's Sudden Death

  First, Liu Dage and other migrant workers sent firecrackers, followed by several luxury cars sending gifts, making the nearby households curious about this newly opened clinic. However, the clinic is not a supermarket, and it's impossible for everyone to be sick. Even if they are sick, people still have doubts and mistrust. As a result, an hour after Li Qiang left, the clinic had yet to receive a single patient.

  Wu Rui remained calm and sat steadily on the fishing platform.

  Xu girl doesn't care, she is concerned about VIP customers, ordinary patients are fewer, which suits her mind, leisurely!

  It's just that the three pretty nurses are a bit anxious, although they know that the boss is wealthy and won't owe anyone wages. But with the clinic in this state, there's no need for three nurses at all. This way, it's likely that they'll be fired. Moreover, being idle like this also makes them feel quite embarrassed and uneasy.

  Fortunately, the situation improved after 10 o'clock. A batch of patients arrived one after another, all of whom were relatives and friends brought by old patients in the past. There were more than a dozen people who had been notified by Liu Dajie and others. Although there were not many, at least they didn't have to be laughed at for being empty-handed.

  What's more, with the lead of these people, passersby who had minor illnesses or discomforts also came in out of curiosity and were won over by Wu Rui's medical skills and ethics. The low fees were also a wonder to behold. With their promotion, the reputation of the clinic is sure to spread quickly.

  Before noon, Xu invited two VIP patients to come over. They didn't have any life-threatening illnesses, but rather some tricky and complicated conditions that Wu Rui easily handled. Although they weren't billionaires, they were from wealthy families. Wu Rui and Xu didn't even quote a price, and the other party voluntarily offered a huge reward. In total, they collected 500,000 yuan in medical fees, making a small profit.

  "Wow, over 500,000 in just half a day!" During lunch, Chunzhu was so excited that her eyes sparkled with excitement. Her usual composure was gone, and she stared at Wu Rui with adoring eyes, her admiration overflowing like a mighty river.

  "That's because Dr. Wu's medical skills are superb." Head nurse Bai Qing sincerely praised, now if anyone still dares to doubt Wu Rui's medical skills, she will be the first to get angry.

  As for Chen Bingxuan, few words are needed, but as always, I admire him.

  "Haha, I'm going to be a great doctor!" Looking at the clinic gradually getting on track, Wu Rui was also very happy. Now being praised by a beauty, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and couldn't tell east from west for a moment.

  "Got it!" The three white-clad nurses chimed in unison.

  "Be happy then! I'm going home, you guys take care of the clinic, call me if anything happens, bye!" Xu Niang, who had already eaten well, seemed to have some urgent matter and didn't chat with everyone before hastily leaving. However, after taking only two steps, she suddenly stopped again, looked at Chunzhu and Bingxuan, and warned: "You two remember the contents of the contract, don't make any mistakes! Or else... humph!"

  With that said, Miss Xu hastily drove away in her red sports car.

  "What contract? What's the content of the contract?" Wu Rui was perplexed.

  Bai Qing also felt strange, she had signed a labor contract too, but there was nothing special to pay attention to! Moreover, Xu's warning earlier was specifically aimed at Chun Tao and Bing Xuan, which made it even stranger. Did they sign different labor contracts than their own?

  "......Nothing, nothing." Chun Zhu was tongue-tied and couldn't utter a complete sentence for half a day, while Bing Xuan beside her had red ears and kept shoveling rice into her mouth.

  Seeing this situation, Wu Rui became even more curious and turned to Chunzhu, asking: "Chunzhu, you tell me what's going on!"

  "Wu Dafu, I..."

  "Hey, although Miss Xu is in charge of the clinic's affairs, I am the real owner of this clinic and have absolute authority. Chunzhu, quickly tell me what's going on!" Wu Rui finally put on a stern face.

  "I said, I said, on the basis of a normal labor contract, Miss Xu specially added a clause, which is... not allowed to 'steal from the boss', otherwise get fired immediately..." By the end, Chunzhu's voice had become somewhat weak, and her face was red all the way to the back of her head.

  Stealing from the boss? This... is crazy.

  Bing Xuan lowered her head and peeled rice, Bai Qing's face looked strange, Mei Yi, who had been silent all along, glanced at Wu Rui and smiled without saying a word.

  "Ah-choo!" Wu Rui almost choked on his food, then scowled and said: "Nonsense! How can you add such a ridiculous clause to the labor contract? You don't need to pay attention to this agreement. If she dares to pursue you, just tell me directly!"

  “……”

  However, there was no applause or cheers. The entire clinic suddenly fell silent. Wu Rui felt something was off and looked up to see the three women, including Mei Ayi, staring at her with strange expressions. Bing Xuan and Chun Zhu's faces were red with embarrassment, and they couldn't help but sneak glances at Wu Rui, their eyes filled with spring-like intentions.

  "What's going on?" Wu Rui's eyes were confused, did he say something wrong? He thought carefully for a moment, but still didn't get it!

  "Hmm..." Bai Qing, who had already become a mother, couldn't help but laugh out loud, with a hint of teasing in her voice, and asked Wu Rui: "Dr. Wu, are you saying that Chunzhu and Bingxuan can 'steal' the boss?"

  Tōu zì, Bái Qíng kè yì yòng chóng yīn shuō chū lái.

  English Translation:

  Stolen words, Bai Qing deliberately said with a heavy tone.

  "Ah...!" Wu Rui was sweating profusely, and the two Huang sisters' flirtatious gazes finally made him somewhat overwhelmed. He could only force himself to explain clearly: "Uh... I didn't mean it that way. It's just that this agreement is unreasonable, so we're abolishing it. Not because I want you to actually do that. Do you understand what I mean?"

  Actually, everyone understood Wu Rui's meaning, but understanding is one thing, and what they thought in their hearts was another matter. Chunzhu and Bingxuan still had red faces, bowing their heads to eat... The atmosphere was really awkward, and Wu Rui was also depressed. Fortunately, someone walked into the clinic at this time, and Wu Rui felt relieved, putting down his bowl and welcoming them out.

  The newcomer was a young man in his early twenties, with red and green hair, wearing a T-shirt, with tattoos of ghosts and horses on his exposed arms, and holding a large knife in his right hand, a typical thug image. However, the newcomer's left hand was also holding a crutch, walking with a limp.

  The newcomer had ill intentions, and Wu Rui felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

  "Peng... Peng Jing?" Wu Rui thought for a moment and finally remembered who this person was. He then asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

  "What am I here for? I'm going to kill you, you bastard!" Peng Jing's face was filled with a crazed expression, propping himself up on his crutches and taking two steps forward until he was right in front of Wu Rui. He raised the large knife in his hand and brought it straight down towards Wu Rui's forehead. If it were anyone else, they would be dead for sure.

  "Be careful......" The four girls behind her shouted in alarm.

  Wu Rui remained expressionless until the big knife approached, then suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of the knife, twisting it lightly to take control.

  "You..." Peng Jing was both shocked and furious, but he still didn't give up. His knife was gone, but he still had his crutch. Ignoring the pain, he raised it and struck down while cursing: "I'll beat you to death, you murderer!"

  "That's enough!" Wu Rui was inexplicably enraged, and with a swift swing of his massive mountain cleaver, he chopped the incoming crutch into two segments with a loud "ka-chunk" sound. To think that Peng Jing's crutch was made of stainless steel, it was clear just how powerful Wu Rui's blade had been.

  Peng Jing, who lost his crutch, couldn't stand firmly and fell to the ground with a thud. The bone that Wu Rui broke half a month ago hadn't healed yet, and this fall directly touched the wound, causing Peng Jing to cry out in pain, even tears falling down. But he still glared at Wu Rui, as if doing so could distract him from the pain.

  "Wu Rui, are you okay?" Chen Bingxuan was the first to rush over and asked with concern.

  "I'm fine." Wu Rui squeezed out a smile.

  "Wu Dafu, shall I call the police?" asked Bai Qing, who had just arrived.

  "Wait, let me ask clearly about the situation!" Wu Rui hastily stopped him, because he probably remembered something. Half a month ago, he had put a seal on Peng Long's body to help deal with the police's wanted list, but for two days he didn't come to remove the seal from his body, and then Wu Rui went to Osen Starball.

  However, what Wu Rui said about the heart being shattered was just to scare Peng Long. Even if he didn't come to find himself two days later, at most it would be a bout of suffering, far from fatal.

  Wu Rui furrowed his brow and asked, "You said your elder cousin is dead?"
