Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 689: A Phone Call
Chapter 689: Chapter 689: A Phone Call
He had never expected that this person would call him at this time.
Even upon seeing this call, Mr. Chen was momentarily so distracted that he could hardly pay attention to everything else in the hospital room.
"Elder... elder master..."
After he shakily answered the phone, he spoke with utmost respect.
Yet the moment Mr. Chen uttered these three words, a flash of delight crossed Jiang Hu’s face, knowing the relationship between him and Mr. Chen, as well as the circle they were in, and understanding who the "elder master" Mr. Chen referred to.
If today’s matter could indeed involve the elder master, then even if Xiao Yifei were a superman, Jiang Hu was certain that Xiao Yifei would be doomed!
However, as Jiang Hu watched Mr. Chen with hopeful anticipation, he noticed that upon picking up the call, Mr. Chen’s expression flickered strangely, and even his gaze held a flash of disbelief.
This situation made Jiang Hu instantly filled with curiosity.
"What in the world is going on!"
At this moment, Jiang Hu was so anxious he felt like he could shatter his own teeth, yet he had no clue what to think.
"Xiao... Xiao Yifei?"
The next moment, Mr. Chen suddenly raised his head, his once stern face now full of absurd astonishment as he asked Xiao Yifei anxiously.
"It’s me, what’s the matter?"
Seeing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but stretch out his hand and touch his nose, unaware of what was going on with the sudden turn of events.
"It’s... it’s for you..."
Then, after Mr. Chen swallowed nervously, he extended his hand and anxiously handed the phone to Xiao Yifei,
Mr. Chen’s action plunged the hospital room into sudden silence.
Everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment, their looks filled with disbelief, and for a moment, they even doubted whether Mr. Chen had been scared silly by the recent events.
Although the events that had just transpired were indeed frightening, they were not enough to turn Mr. Chen into what he was now, especially since he was clearly a man who had seen the world; how could he be so easily frightened by such a trivial matter?
Yet for Jin Ling and Jiang Hu, the shock they felt was beyond ordinary.
Aside from knowing Mr. Chen, they were very much aware of who the person on the other end of the phone, called "elder master" by Mr. Chen, truly was!
The two of them deeply knew that for a person like Mr. Chen, it was like Mount Tai falling before his eyes without disturbing his composure, so the surprise that Mr. Chen showed after Xiao Yifei demonstrated his power had already made Jin Ling and Jiang Hu somewhat fearful.
Nevertheless, they were utterly sure that, given Mr. Chen’s character, he definitely would not be frightened into making mistakes by Xiao Yifei’s earlier actions, especially since it was the elder master on the phone, and Mr. Chen would surely be extremely attentive while speaking to him!
Jin Ling and Jiang Hu didn’t believe at all the conjecture that Mr. Chen had been scared into making a mistake,
moreover, when Mr. Chen was talking to Xiao Yifei, he clearly called out Xiao Yifei’s name.
After reaching this conclusion and seeing what was happening now, both Jin Ling and Jiang Hu felt a chill that crawled from their feet to the tops of their heads.
Yet in the next moment, the turn of events took an even more panic-inducing turn!
Xiao Yifei stood in front of Mr. Chen, his distinct, slender fingers fiddling with a dagger. The originally smiling Xiao Yifei, who had watched Mr. Chen make the call, suddenly froze when the spinning dagger stopped abruptly, clearly, even Xiao Yifei couldn’t fathom Mr. Chen’s current behavior.
"Me?"
He stood over the fallen Mr. Chen, pointing at himself with his finger, his eyes full of surprise.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chen, trembling on the ground, stretched out his hand and handed the phone to Xiao Yifei, but Xiao Yifei just stared blankly, looking dazedly at Mr. Chen, creating a somewhat comical scene.
But only those who understood the situation knew how astonishing the information currently contained within it was!
"Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao."
Thereafter, Mr. Chen swallowed hard, his eyes trembling as he spoke to Xiao Yifei, and this time, Mr. Chen addressed Xiao Yifei with a newly respectful title, a change that even made Yu Jing, standing behind, freeze momentarily in shock.
She hadn’t anticipated such a sudden shift in the situation, although she was somewhat surprised when she saw Mr. Chen offering his phone to Xiao Yifei. But it was at the moment when Mr. Chen changed his form of address that Yu Jing’s heart felt like it was hit by a tumultuous wave.
Being who she was, Yu Jing could understand all of it, and even more clearly, what Mr. Chen’s change of address meant for Xiao Yifei at that moment.
Ning Jing, whose heart was originally filled with panic, upon seeing the situation unfold, couldn’t help but feel that it seemed slightly different from what she initially thought, and now Yu Jing could understand why Xiao Yifei dared to bring her here to stir trouble!
Xiao Yifei wasn’t clueless; he had the confidence to face it all!
"Are you calling me?"
Upon hearing Mr. Chen suddenly change his address, Xiao Yifei was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Mr. Chen. freewebnσvel.cøm
Xiao Yifei had not expected such a sudden turn of events.
"Mr. Xiao... just go ahead and answer the phone... Once you do, you’ll understand."
Mr. Chen seemed rather nervous as he spoke to Xiao Yifei.
"Oh."
Xiao Yifei nodded, frowned slightly, and then reached out to take the phone. Afterward, he stood up straight and held the phone to his ear.
However, as soon as he heard the somewhat familiar voice on the phone, Xiao Yifei’s eyes narrowed dramatically, a look of surprise evident on his handsome face.
"Hmm..."
While listening to the voice on the phone, Xiao Yifei gently nodded, clearly recognizing the person on the other end.
This situation caused Jin Ling and Jiang Hu’s hairs to stand on end!
Mr. Chen lifted his head, gazing eagerly at Xiao Yifei, his eyes slightly trembling.
"Alright, I understand," Xiao Yifei eventually nodded, murmuring this phrase before hanging up the phone directly.
"Mr. Xiao..."
Mr. Chen still hadn’t stood up, his once pristine white suit now full of wrinkles and disarray, his stern face filled with nervousness.
Xiao Yifei squinted at Mr. Chen, a unique sparkle flashing in his bright eyes.
"Dagger King says you’re his apprentice?" Xiao Yifei asked in a mild tone, looking at Mr. Chen who was lying on the ground.
At the sound of Xiao Yifei’s words, Mr. Chen’s body jerked dramatically, on the verge of saying something to Xiao Yifei amidst his nervous turmoil but was abruptly cut off by Xiao Yifei’s next actions.
"He interceded on your behalf, asking me to spare your life," Xiao Yifei turned his head and spoke indifferently to Mr. Chen, "But although you may avoid death, you cannot escape punishment."
