Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 230: A Dog Takes Advantage of Its Master’s Power

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: A Dog Takes Advantage of Its Master’s Power

「Time rewound to an hour ago...」

After Luo Qingcheng hung up on Chen Xiaobei, she led her cousin and rushed to the county hospital.

The moment they got out of the car, Luo Qingcheng bumped into He Yongkun.

"Magistrate He, I didn’t expect you to be here too," Luo Qingcheng asked politely.

"Ah, Boss Luo! Alas!" He Yongkun’s face was etched with worry. "Miss Qin from the Luyang Qin Family suddenly came to Songshan for some unknown reason, and now she’s contracted a strange poisonous rash. If anything were to happen to her here in Songshan, I’d lose my position as magistrate."

"By the way—" He Yongkun’s eyes lit up. "I remember you have a good relationship with Doctor Chen, don’t you, Boss Luo? Could you give him a call and ask if he could come over and take a look?"

Luo Qingcheng’s tone became blunt. "I already spoke with him. He said he was too busy, gave me a prescription, and hung up. Magistrate He, since this prescription came from Xiaobei, it will definitely be effective. To be frank, Xiaobei has his own matters to attend to; there’s no reason he should be at your beck and call. That being said, let’s go inside!"

She was a woman who detested evil, and she was thoroughly disgusted by He Yongkun’s character.

Walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Murong Xiaoyi, the two quickly arrived outside the inpatient building. The scene before them left both of them stunned.

As far as the eye could see, the entire area outside the inpatient building was packed with people. Some were in patient gowns, while others were their family members. Though they all looked different, their faces were universally filled with rage.

"Damn it! Are you kidding me? What gives you the right to kick us out? We paid our fees!"

"Exactly! We’re all patients, so why does she get the entire building cleared out for her?"

"This is oppression! Blatant oppression!"

"Get the person in charge out here, or we’ll take our protest to the government building!"

Soon, the crowd grew even larger, and some reporters had already started filming.

"All of you, shut the hell up!"

Just then, a woman in business attire rushed out of the building. Facing the crowd of several hundred, her eyes radiated an unconcealed disdain and disgust as she yelled, "All you lowlifes know how to do is stand here and bark. I’m warning you, my lady’s condition is extremely poor right now. We cleared out this building to ensure she gets the best possible rest. I’m warning you, if anyone dares to shout again and disturb my lady’s peace, don’t blame me for having you all arrested!"

As her voice fell, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits surged out from behind her. The bulges in their clothes made it clear they were carrying guns.

In an instant, the crowd was shocked into silence by the display.

However, there were still those unafraid of authority, one of whom shouted coldly, "You damn woman, who do you think you are, God Almighty? Why should we listen to you?"

The woman had never imagined someone would dare to curse her in public. She flew into a rage, pointed at the man, and shrieked, "How brazen! I am Li Qing, secretary to Miss Qin Shihua of the Luyang Qin Family, second only to one and above all others. You, a lowly commoner, dare to speak so audaciously to me in public? Men, slap his face!"

"Yes, ma’am!"

At her command, two male bodyguards advanced on the man, drawing their guns as they moved.

"Oh my god!"

The man never thought they actually had guns and was immediately paralyzed with fear. Next, one of the bodyguards pulled out a baton and swung it toward the man’s face. That blow would leave him maimed, if not dead.

"Stop!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

At the critical moment, Murong Xiaoyi shot forward, grabbing the bodyguard’s wrist and snatching the baton away.

"The Luyang Qin Family is supposed to be a prestigious clan. What kind of skill is it to bully ordinary people here? And what’s so great about being a secretary? To put it plainly, you’re just a servant. You’re nothing but a dog throwing its master’s weight around!" Murong Xiaoyi scoffed at Li Qing.

She had always loathed injustice, and this was her being restrained. Otherwise, she would have kicked Li Qing half to death.

Li Qing’s eyebrows shot up. "You wretch, you dare curse me? Are you tired of living?" she screeched.

Murong Xiaoyi retorted boldly, "So what if I cursed you? You act like a wretch, but people aren’t allowed to call you out on it? You don’t strike me as a delicate flower, so why be so sensitive?"

"Insolence! Seize her!" Li Qing commanded, her chest heaving with fury.

"You want to seize me? Go on and try!" Murong Xiaoyi taunted, rolling up her sleeves.

Ever since she had emerged from the Red Blood Demon Cocoon, she had developed a special love for fighting. Now that a group of morons had appeared to play with, Murong Xiaoyi couldn’t have been more thrilled.

But before any punches were thrown, He Yongkun and Luo Qingcheng rushed over.

"Everyone, stop! Secretary Li, this is all a misunderstanding," He Yongkun said hurriedly. "Right now, the most important thing is to cure Miss Qin. Please, let’s discuss everything else later."

Luo Qingcheng also chimed in quickly. "Secretary Li, I am Luo Qingcheng from the Songshan Luo Family. I rushed over the moment I got your call. The person who just offended you is my cousin. I apologize on her behalf. Magistrate He is right; the most crucial thing now is to treat the young lady immediately. If her condition is delayed, none of us can bear the responsibility."

"Cousin, why are you apologizing to her?!" Murong Xiaoyi exclaimed, deeply dissatisfied.

"Just be quiet," Luo Qingcheng said, giving her a slight push.

Truthfully, she didn’t want to apologize to Li Qing either. But even when you beat a dog, you have to consider its master, and in this case, the master was the Luyang Qin Family. They didn’t just have assets in the hundreds of billions; they were also backed by guardians from the Earthly Sect. Forget the Luo Family, even Murong Xiaoyi’s own family wasn’t qualified to carry their shoes. In Luo Qingcheng’s eyes, the Qin Family was an untouchable behemoth. One couldn’t even think of offending them, at least not until Chen Xiaobei became a member of the Earthly Sect.

Just then, a familiar figure ran out of the hospital building. It was Murong Qi, whom they hadn’t seen in days.

"Sister Li, bad news! The young mistress’s condition has suddenly worsened. She’s unconscious! The experts in the hospital can’t do anything. What do we do?"

"Quick, take me to her!" Li Qing cried out in alarm, turning and dashing back into the building.

Luo Qingcheng also started to follow, but Murong Qi stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

"Well, well! Isn’t it my dear cousin, and my even dearer older sister?" he sneered. "How does it feel to be oppressed by a top-tier family? Not very pleasant, is it? Do you know why the Qin Family specifically requested help from your Luo Family? It was my recommendation! Hahaha!"

"What?" Luo Qingcheng’s pretty face froze. "Murong Qi, are you telling the truth?"
