The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 168 Dung Beetle

Since it was midday, there were far fewer people at the entrance to the hospital than in the morning, and considering the fact that Yao Suman and her group stood some distance away from the hospital’s main entrance, hardly anyone noticed the altercation taking place.

The warm sunlight in the sky reflected off Yao Suman’s fair cheeks. She looked at her biological father Shi Ke, who stood by her side with a smile, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of revulsion. She exclaimed, "Don’t you dare talk about Mom in front of me; you have no right to even mention her! Have you ever cared about Mom’s and my survival over the years? Don’t you just want someone to help pay off your gambling debts? Stop pretending to be so noble; it disgusts me just thinking about it."

Shi Ke’s smile froze on his face. The people from Heavenly Dao had already been looking for him numerous times in these past days. If he could not pay back the money soon, he feared both of his hands might get chopped off, so no matter what, he had to make Yao Suman agree to He Jie’s demands. In his view, as long as his daughter got together with He Jie, he, as her father, could surely reap some benefits, right? Furthermore, he wouldn’t have to worry about the debt anymore.

"How can you speak to me like that? I am your father, and I have the right to make decisions for you. Whoever I tell you to be with, you must oblige," Shi Ke said coldly, adopting the stance of a stern father.

However, in Yao Suman’s eyes, this was ludicrous. With a tone neither warm nor cold, she said, "Have I ever acknowledged you as my father? I’m telling you one last time today, Yao Suman has only a mother, and in my heart, my father has long been dead."

"Have you had enough of this quarrel? Miss Yao, your mother has already missed a day of medication. I advise you to hurry up and get the money," stated Kang Weizhong, the department head, indifferently, making it clear he was on He Jie’s side. He had been sent by He Jie to demand the treatment fee from Yao Suman.

"You may deny me as your father, but if you delay your mother’s treatment, can you really live with yourself? You will regret it for the rest of your life," Shi Ke, knowing he had no standing in Yao Suman’s heart, swiftly changed his tactics.

Indeed, upon hearing Shi Ke’s words, Yao Suman’s frown deepened, her face filled with indecision, and her alluring red lips tightly pursed.

Seizing the moment, He Jie urged, "Su Man, what are you hesitating for? Your aunt’s illness can’t afford any delays! Is being with me, He Jie, such an embarrassment? I can ensure you live in luxury for the rest of your life."

Of course, He Jie, this pretentious second-generation official, had said such things to numerous women before. Once he had tricked them into bed and grew tired of them, he would not hesitate to kick them to the curb.

Yao Suman was struggling intensely inside. She knew very well what kind of person He Jie was, but what about her mother’s illness? She would absolutely not choose to give up on treating her mother. Even though the chances for late-stage cancer to be cured were slim, but...

Her delicate, pale hands clenched and unclenched; tension showed in her grip before she finally gave in. Her pursed lips slightly parted, her face showing a hint of helplessness but mostly firm resolve. She was just about to agree to He Jie’s demands when a hearty, mocking voice interrupted: "Broad daylight, and right in front of a hospital, someone is forcing a good woman into prostitution?"

Ye Chenfeng walked over leisurely with his hands in his pockets, his sharp ears having caught the exchange between Yao Suman and the others. He understood the situation from the conversation.

To Ye Chenfeng, although the fierce female police officer Yao Suman had opposed him several times before, he couldn’t deny that she was a good cop, which made him want to help her out involuntarily.

"Ye Chenfeng, why is it you?" Yao Suman questioned as she looked at Ye Chenfeng, who had approached her.

At the same time, Kang Weizhong, the department head, also noticed Ye Chenfeng. After being stunned for a second or two, he blurted out, "Is that you?"

Back at the black market for medicinal herbs, Ye Chenfeng had forced him, the head of internal medicine, to flee ignominiously, and he had still not swallowed that insult to date! Every time he thought of what happened that day, he was so irritated that he wanted to smash things.

Ye Chenfeng turned his gaze to Kang Weizhong and casually remarked, "So it’s you, the hypocritical quack! Anyone who becomes your patient is sure to be incredibly unlucky."

Kang Weizhong was left gasping for air by Ye Chenfeng’s blunt words. He then turned to Yao Suman and asked, "Miss Yao, is this man your friend? You’d better make him disappear from my sight immediately. Otherwise, even if you come up with the money for the treatment, I might need to think twice about whether to arrange for your mother’s treatment or not!"

"You talk big, Ye Chenfeng chuckled. "Saving lives and helping the injured is the duty of a doctor. Yet here you are, threatening people with medical treatment? And a female police officer at that?"

"Should a police officer’s family get treated without paying? The hospital is not a charity. You have no right to come in here and spout nonsense," Kang Weizhong snorted coldly.

Just when Yao Suman seemed ready to agree to his demands, out of nowhere came a Cheng Yaojin, ruining He Jie’s mood entirely. He was already looking forward to enjoying Yao Suman’s body, hoping to be with her in bed while she was still in her police uniform – that would really spice things up!

"Kid, you have no business here. Go back to where you came from," He Jie barked at Ye Chenfeng.

Without committing to a stance, Ye Chenfeng simply spread his hands and said, "That won’t do. My girlfriend is about to be sold off, how could I, as her boyfriend, stand by and do nothing?"

With that, Ye Chenfeng wrapped his arm around Yao Suman’s waist, immediately feeling the soft and smooth texture of her body.

Caught off guard, Yao Suman was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Ye Chenfeng, what are you doing? I don’t have time to play with you today, please leave immediately."

Seeing Ye Chenfeng’s intimate action of embracing Yao Suman, He Jie initially thought she really did have something going on with Ye Chenfeng. But after hearing Yao Suman’s words, he knew that Ye Chenfeng was just being delusional: "Kid, wise up and let go of my woman, or you’ll be sorry."

Yao Suman struggled free from Ye Chenfeng’s arms. At this moment, her mind was entirely focused on finding treatment for her mother and she couldn’t care less about Ye Chenfeng.

"Young man, didn’t you hear what my daughter said? Disappear from my sight. I, Shi Ke, have some reputation in the underworld, and those who offend me usually don’t meet a good end," Shi Ke postured with a cold command.

"You call yourself a father? I think you don’t even qualify to be a pile of dung. Your daughter is ’fortunate’ to have a father like you," Ye Chenfeng felt sorrow for Yao Suman for having Shi Ke as her biological father.

"Actually, the name Shi Ke doesn’t suit you. You should add a ’Lang’ at the end of your name; that would be more fitting for you."

Ye Chenfeng’s sudden comment left Shi Ke dumbfounded as he unconsciously repeated, "Shi Kelang? Shi Kelang? Shi Kelang?"

Yao Suman didn’t have time for Ye Chenfeng’s nonsense. Still, she murmured to herself several times, "Shi Kelang? Shi Kelang? Dung beetle, dung beetle, dung beetle."

A burst of laughter emerged. Yao Suman, who hadn’t laughed since finding out about her mother’s terminal cancer, couldn’t help but smile.

Seeing Yao Suman smile, He Jie and Kang Weizhong also repeated it three or four times, and when they realized they were saying "dung beetle," they couldn’t help but burst into laughter as well.

Only Shi Ke was still completely clueless, stubbornly repeating, "Shi Kelang, Shi Kelang, Shi Kelang..." without understanding the joke.

Ye Chenfeng saw how downcast Yao Suman had been and could imagine how gloomy she must have felt in the past few days. He thought up this plan to cheer her up, considering it a good deed.
