Wild Man & His Crazy World

Chapter 24 Damage Control

Qin Ming used to get into lots of brawls, so he was an experienced fighter. But he was no match for all these well-trained burly men. But he also had no intention of backing out. He continued to defend Chen Muling. At this moment, Chen Muling relied on him. She trembled in fear as her two hands gripped the back of his clothes. “I'd like to see who dares make a move!” A voice bellowed from the door. Completely unexpected to Qin Ming, Hou Qing had rushed over in fury. The moment Hou Qing showed up, Song Ying and the bodyguards became completely still. The first thing Hou Qing did upon entering the room was give Qin Ming and apologetic look and bow to him. He chastised himself. For his young master's friend to be in such a situation while in the hospital he managed...; if anything were to happen to the young master, that would be the end of him. At the same time, Hou Qing felt it was a blessing that his hemorrhoids recurred and he happened to come to the hospital for surgery. So the moment he received Song Ying's phone call, he ran out of the operating room. No matter what, he had to take good care of the young master's friend and provide the best possible service. But upon arriving at the emergency room and seeing this bunch of men about to attack Qin Ming, Hou Qing was infuriated. He immediately closed in on the extravagant woman and roared, “Mrs. Luo, you sure are incredible, attacking and grabbing anyone as you wish. This is the City First Hospital, not your Luo family Lotus Building. I, Hou Qing, stand right here. If you dare touch a single strand of their hair, I guarantee you that by tonight, there will be no more Luo family in Guang City.” The atmosphere of the emergency room instantly became filled with anxiety. Most of the people in this room didn't know who Hou Qing was, nor could they understand how he could even threaten the Luo family like this. Can he really do something to the rich and powerful Luo family? Unexpected to everyone, the extravagant woman paled in fright and walked a few steps back upon seeing Hou Qing. She stammered in fear, “M-Mr. Hou, why are you here? T-this is all a misunderstanding - a beautiful misunderstanding!” Everyone was dumbfounded at her words. They stared at Hou Qing in shock. Just who is this middle-aged man?He reduced the arrogant and pompous Mrs. Luo to such a cowardly state?It's like a tigress turning into a dog in an instant.Hou Qing was in charge of managing the Huan Ning Century Corporation, which is a huge player in the country's southern area, Guang City. Its quarterly revenue was as high as 50 billion. In addition to its various sub-groups helping each other out, it also ruled over Guang City on both sides of the law. Hou Qing himself was a huge figure in Guang City. The Luo family did hold some power in Guang City as well. They had tried to butter Hou Qing up many times, but he never really took them seriously. Naturally, Mrs. Luo knew who he was. The Luo family was nothing significant in Hou Qing's eyes. They were like mice in the face of a ravenous wolf; if they didn't behave, they would be completely flattened. Hou Qing said solemnly, “Mrs. Luo, if you weren't grieving for your son, I would have kicked you out immediately. Apologize to my customers and get out.” The woman looked horrid. She had sworn to make Chen Muling pay, but now she had to take everything back. She just couldn't understand why Hou Qing was this furious over a bunch of nameless folks like the Chen family. Even if he supported them, he wouldn't act out against the Luo family like that. Just one sentence was enough for the Luo family to never lay a finger on Chen Muling. Is he trying to prove himself?But who is he proving himself to? The woman herself was a well-known figure in among Guang City's elites. She was smart enough and quickly figured it out. But she couldn't understand what was so special about this young brat, Qin Ming, nor could she figure out what relationship he had with Hou Qing. She could figure out one point, but not the other. Because of that, she missed her chance to butter up the richest man in the world. After a long moment of hesitation, she decided it was not worth throwing away the Luo family's wealth. She could only set aside her pride. She lowered her head and apologized, “Ms. Chen, what I said earlier was just some crazy talk. Please understand the feelings of a mother who had just lost his son and forgive me. The Luo family will to its best to cover all your hospital bills.” Slap. Slap. The extravagant woman slapped herself on the face. It was so loud that even those from outside could hear it.She continued to withstand the pain and said apologetically, “I had slapped you in a fit of rage earlier. This is my compensation.” The complete change in her attitude stunned everyone inside the emergency room. After apologizing, the woman was red with shame. Not wanting to stay a moment longer, she was about to leave when Hou Qing roared in anger, “Don't move! You're not done!” She froze. Who else could there be?Is it Chen Tian, who is kneeling on the ground?No, it can't be. If Hou Qing cared about him, he could have helped the man up at once. Hou Qing gestured with his eyes. He wanted her to apologize to Qin Ming before she was allowed to leave. The woman was baffled. This average little brat?Is he worth it? She couldn't figure it out at all. Why does Hou Qing hold this plain young man to such high regards? Could it be that he's just too shaken because I caused a scene here? But no matter what, if it was Hou Qing wanted, she could only apologize to Qin Ming, “I'm sorry, young man. I was just joking around with you. Don't take it to heart.” Hou Qing walked to Qin Ming and asked, “Is that alright?” Only after Qin Ming nodded slightly did Hou Qing turn his head, “That's fine. Get out of here at once. If you bother my patients again, I'll make your entire Luo family disappear.” Mrs. Luo immediately left the hospital, as though her death sentence had been revoked. Qin Ming felt this was an acceptable outcome. After all, he was just normal friends with Chen Muling, so being able to help this much was enough. Chen Tian felt like everything was a dream. He had prepared to sacrifice his daughter to protect his entire family, but suddenly Hou Qing showed up and frightened the Luo family into apologizing. Was he about to get very lucky? Chen Tian walked up and said, “Mr. Hou, forgive my ignorance for not having known who you were, but I'm eternally grateful for what you've done for my daughter. If you have time, I'd like to invite...” Hou Qing merely waved, saying, “There's no need to thank me. Your daughter is a friend of the young master's, so naturally...huh? Ms. Song?” Song Ying walked over just in time and whispered a few words into Hou Qing's ear. Shocked, Hou Qing hurriedly said, “Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Song, otherwise I would've made a huge mistake.”Hou Qing changed his words, “Our young master happened to pass by the hospital and saw the incident. He said the hospital was a place to treat the sick and medical disturbances are strictly forbidden, which is why I showed up. You don't have to thank me. You should thank the young master.” Chen Tian wanted to know who the person Hou Qing mentioned was, but looking out the door, he couldn't see anyone who looked like a young master. He hoped that Hou Qing would elaborate. Hou Qing explained, “Our young master is a busy man, so maybe he has already gone back. Maybe you'll get the chance next time.” Chen Tian felt it was such a pity. He thought he had a chance to climb up the elite ladder of Guang City. But then, he looked at his own daughter. Since she was so good-looking, could it be that the young master was interested in her? Maybe there would be another chance. Qin Ming was rather satisfied with the way Hou Qing handled the situation. He was the one who made Song Ying remind Hou Qing not to expose his identity. The problem had been settled and he didn't have to flaunt his wealth; he feared that Chen Muling would fall for him if he did. He wanted to complete his studies while remaining low-profile. The matter was settled and Chen Muling could peacefully stay at the hospital. But just before leaving, Qin Ming received a friend request on his phone. It was from Chen Muling. Qin Ming had already walked towards the door. As he looked back, his eyes met Chen Muling's. She bashfully lowered her head as she waited for Qin Ming to accept her friend request. Qin Ming smiled faintly. He didn't even flaunt his wealth, so what was up with Chen Muling?
