Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 281 - 284: I Really Made an Appointment

Tsk, where did their minds go!

So, he had learned Kung Fu as well. No wonder, when he said last time that he could handle himself, he did it with such confidence.

After a while, Zhang Yuhuan snapped out of her muddled thoughts, secretly scolded herself, and a faint smile appeared on her face as she recalled how Xiao Yi had blackmailed them.

He really was quite violent and very direct.

But his method was indeed very effective; seeing that guy’s wimpy demeanor at the end was quite satisfying...

Compared to his previous arrogant threats, he seemed like a completely different person...

However, although he had learned a bit of Kung Fu, those people were all...

In a moment, Zhang Yuhuan suddenly remembered something, and a light shade of worry appeared in her eyes.

After all, Junior Xiao had saved her so many times and helped her out just as many. No matter what, she couldn’t let him get into any trouble because of her. If that person dared to make any move, they shouldn’t blame her, Zhang Yuhuan, for completely ignoring any past relationships!

In Zhang Yuhuan’s placid gaze, suddenly, a firm and sharp look flashed, and her whole demeanor changed from the typical delicate Jiangnan girl to someone completely different.

And this person...

Zhang Yuhuan lowered her head and seriously looked at the name on the cheque book, "Qian Xiaojie."

"Qian Family, it must be the Qian Family from D City, and that Young Master Li must be from the Li Family, huh!

Seeing the three characters on it, a flash of coldness darted through Zhang Yuhuan’s beautiful eyes. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

At the Provincial People’s Hospital, on the third floor of the old traditional Chinese medicine building, in the private consulting room of the lifetime honorary president, Divine Doctor An Jinhua, aka Elder An.

The world-renowned Divine Doctor An was pacing back and forth anxiously in his office, occasionally lifting his head to glance at the old-fashioned wall clock above him.

On a consulting chair in the room sat a middle-aged man, gaunt and sallow-faced.

Two nurses were standing quietly behind the middle-aged man.

It couldn’t actually be that Xiao Yi wouldn’t be able to make it again as the girl’s ill prophecy voiced.

Elder An lifted his head and glanced at the clock, which now pointed at 2:10. His silvery eyebrows furrowed deeper as his anxiety grew heavier.

He didn’t believe the little girl who called Xiao Yi a fraudster, but he couldn’t help but worry that Xiao Yi might have had something come up, preventing him from arriving. If that was the case, it would be terrible, especially since he had specifically asked him to come from D City. If he failed to keep his promise again, what could he do? That was a minor issue; at most, it would cost him some face. But more importantly, the patient didn’t have much time to spare!

"Elder An, don’t worry, maybe that Divine Doctor is on his way already," the middle-aged man said reassuringly, seeing the anxious look on Elder An’s face.

But as he spoke, a trace of indescribable disappointment and a hint of subtle mockery flashed through the depths of his eyes, and he sighed inwardly. It seemed likely that they would be disappointed again today, just as he had previously feared, making this trip in vain.

If nothing unexpected happened, that so-called Divine Doctor was probably a Jianghu fraudster, just as Elder An’s granddaughter had analyzed.

He and An Lili thought the same, not that he believed Elder An would deceive him, but he felt that although Elder An’s medical skills were unquestionably top-notch, having devoted his life to medicine, he might be somewhat naive about human relationships and the outside world, making it normal for him to be deceived occasionally.

"Yes, that’s right, Qian, don’t worry. He promised me, so he will definitely come."

Elder An’s face, strained, forced a smile and nodded to the middle-aged man. He laid it on a bit thicker either to convince himself or to convince Qian that he believed it as well.

After finishing, his gaze floated up to the wall clock above him.

............

At the hospital entrance.

Xiao Yi hurried off the taxi and quickly walked towards the outpatient building with an anxious expression. He grabbed a nurse by the arm and asked directly, "Hello, Miss Nurse, could you please tell me where Divine Doctor An’s clinic is located?"

"Sir, are you here to see Elder An with an appointment?"

The nurse stopped in her tracks, looking curiously at Xiao Yi.

"Yes, I have an appointment."

Xiao Yi quickly nodded, and stated his identity, "I am Xiao Yi. Just ask Elder An, and he will know."

"Oh, I see, Elder An’s clinic is..."

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Just as the nurse was about to tell Xiao Yi the location of Elder An’s clinic, a commanding voice interrupted her.

"Director Zhang."

Upon hearing this voice, the nurse immediately showed a fearful expression and quietly greeted the man.

"Doctor, I am looking for Divine Doctor An, Elder An. Please, could you tell me where his clinic is?"

Xiao Yi looked up to see who was speaking—a man in his forties, wearing a serious expression, and importantly, clad in a white lab coat with a chief physician’s name tag. Xiao Yi quickly addressed him directly.

"Looking for Elder An?"

The middle-aged man gave Xiao Yi a disdainful glance, "Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, I have an appointment. If you contact Elder An, he will know; my name is Xiao Yi."

Xiao Yi quickly nodded and repeated himself.

"Xiao Yi?"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow, gave him another look, then immediately picked up a phone and made a call, "Hello, Lili, check Elder An’s appointments for me. Is there someone named Xiao Yi?"

"Oh, no, I see."

About a minute later, the middle-aged man, after hearing the reply from the other end, put down the phone and looked coldly at Xiao Yi without saying a word, his eyes filled with disdain and mockery as if he had nothing further to say.

"I’m not a patient with an appointment. I am a doctor, Elder An asked me to come to assist him. You can ask Elder An directly."

Seeing the expression on the middle-aged man’s face, Xiao Yi realized that he had been mistaken for a patient with an appointment and hurriedly explained himself anxiously.
