Peerless Martial Expert in the City-Chapter 282 - 285 Acquaintance

"Doctor? Did Elder An ask for your help?"

The expression in the middle-aged man’s eyes no longer contained just disdain and mockery, but now a trace of contemptuous scorn flitted across as he sized up Xiao Yi. Annoyed, he said dismissively, "Sir, please mind the rules. Elder An’s appointment slots are extremely limited, and each patient has had a very difficult time securing one. I hope you understand this point and don’t attempt to disrupt the order. Plus, I’m telling you, Elder An doesn’t tolerate any impurities in his sight. Even if you somehow sneak in without an appointment, he won’t examine you. You can give up on that hope."

Having said that, the middle-aged man prepared to turn around and leave.

In his heart, he had already decided that Xiao Yi was a scoundrel trying to jump the queue.

Earlier, as he passed by, he overheard Xiao Yi asking the nurse about Elder An’s consulting room, which made him a bit suspicious. In this hospital, the most famous doctor was undoubtedly Elder An. Which patient wouldn’t know where Elder An’s consulting room was? Even non-patients of Elder An mostly knew it.

Moreover, he dared to lie to the nurse. After asking around, just as he had suspected, Xiao Yi’s deceit was promptly exposed.

What he hadn’t expected was that this young man, who didn’t look very old and probably wasn’t in any critical condition, would dare to fabricate such lies when questioned. He even had the audacity to claim that he was a doctor, summoned by Elder An himself for assistance?

What a joke, look at him, does he even look like a doctor? Let alone one personally recruited by Elder An to help?

Nowadays, these young people really have no morals, not even being professional in their lying, not bothering to draft a simple lie beforehand.

The middle-aged doctor shook his head lightly, turned back to Xiao Yi, and said, "Sir, there’s no need for you to ask around anymore. Whoever you ask, the answer will be the same. If you disrupt our normal operations, we’ll have to call security."

Having finished speaking, he turned to leave, and the nurse, having realized that Xiao Yi hadn’t made an appointment and had lied to her, gave him a disdainful glance, no longer paying him any attention, and prepared to walk away.

"I..."

Xiao Yi, watching the expressions of the two, felt increasingly anxious. He was about to say something to explain himself. He was almost frantic now. He was supposed to have had plenty of time, but the incident with Zhang Yuhuan had caused a delay, and to make matters worse, he had encountered a minor car accident on the way, which had cost him over ten minutes. With more than ten minutes already past his scheduled time, he was worried about how desperate Elder An must be getting.

But just as he was about to speak, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision, and his face lit up with relief. He no longer cared about Director Zhang or the young nurse and hurriedly rushed towards the familiar figure.

Huh? What’s happening with him?

Both the nurse and the doctor were taken aback by Xiao Yi’s sudden move and involuntarily turned their gazes in the direction Xiao Yi was running towards.

"The surgical expert, Dr. Zhang?"

The doctor and the nurse paused, then the doctor’s face instantly contorted with worry, as he urged the nurse quickly, "That brat, hurry, stop him, don’t let him disturb Dr. Zhang." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Without waiting for the nurse to react, he had already started chasing after Xiao Yi at a fast pace, his face full of anxiousness. Considering the possibility of Xiao Yi bothering Expert Zhang, sweat dripped from his forehead.

"So then..."

Xiao Yi saw none other than Dr. Zhang, the old acquaintance Elder An had introduced last time.

Dr. Zhang currently had a warm smile on his face and was patiently explaining the condition of a recently seen patient to the family members following him. From the relatives’ attire, it was clear that these were no ordinary family members.

In fact, at his level, whether he was willing or not, his patients were rarely ordinary. It was basically very difficult for common folks to secure an appointment with him.

And precisely because this patient’s relative was not an ordinary person, Dr. Zhang was particularly focused on explaining, without noticing Xiao Yi sprinting towards him.

"Dr. Zhang!"

Right now, Xiao Yi couldn’t care less. It was rare to see an acquaintance, and one who definitely knew Elder An at that, so he hurriedly charged forward, interrupting Dr. Zhang’s explanation with a loud call.

Upon hearing this shout, the face of the nearby patient’s relative immediately darkened. Who was this person? Couldn’t they see Dr. Zhang was busy? Such rudeness to interrupt, and the Dr. Zhang who had run over behind was now looking darker too, his forehead lined with black as he kept on muttering about his bad luck. It was over, all over, he was too late after all.

This youngster had disturbed Dr. Zhang!

"Xiao Yi!"

A look of surprise flashed across Dr. Zhang’s face, and then, as he turned to see Xiao Yi rushing towards him, he immediately grabbed his hand with an expression of wild joy, exclaiming, "Xiao Yi, what are you doing here! It’s great that you’re here!"

"Uh..."

Seeing Dr. Zhang’s expression, everyone was taken aback.

Especially the patient’s family member, who was about to make an inquiry but now couldn’t find the words. Could it be that this young man was some relative of Dr. Zhang’s?

Although they were not commoners and had some status, they still wouldn’t dare to offend a doctor in the hospital, for the wellbeing of their sick relative was in the doctor’s hands.

The nurse, who had come to stop and scold Xiao Yi, was also completely astonished. Her eyes stared wide at the unbelievable scene as Director Zhang not only wasn’t angry but seemed to be very happy to greet him?

Even though Expert Zhang was not known to be particularly hot-tempered, this situation was still too strange...

"I came to look for Elder An. Oh, Dr. Zhang, sorry for the interruption, but could you take me to Elder An’s clinic? He’s waiting for me. If you’re busy, you could just tell me how to get there. It’s my first time here, and I don’t know the way."

Xiao Yi didn’t bother to question the odd statement about him being there—why it was so great. He quickly addressed Dr. Zhang.

"Alright, Elder An is waiting for you? It must be something urgent, then. I’ll take you there right away," Dr. Zhang responded immediately after hearing Xiao Yi’s words and seeing the anxious expression on his face, nodding his head.
