Chapter 167 - 167 Doctor Zheng's Misery

167 Doctor Zheng’s Misery

Shen Xi sighed when she read the message. Since the other party did not want to reveal their identity, she would not force them. Still, Shen Xi did not want to let Liu Cheng off so easily.

If Liu Cheng had only badmouthed her, she would have been fine. However, Liu Cheng had the nerve to insult her parents. Her parents were Shen Xi’s bottom line. No one could hurl abuse at her parents and get away with it.

Even though Liu Cheng had learned a harsh lesson, Shen Xi still felt it was not enough.

Now that someone was actively helping her, Shen Xi began considering how else she could make Liu Cheng suffer.

After a long while, Shen Xi typed her thoughts on the matter.

[ Why don’t we have Liu Cheng clean the men’s toilet for a month? That should suffice. ]

Since Liu Cheng enjoyed humiliating others, why not let her have a taste of her own medicine?

She soon received a reply.

[ As you wish. ]

Not long after, a video of her was broadcast again. This time, it featured Liu Cheng in tears. “To show that I have repented, I will be cleaning the men’s toilet for a month.”

As soon as the words escaped her lips, Liu Cheng ran off the screen, crying hysterically. Liu Xie squirmed where he stood and eventually asked Zheng Huai for his thoughts. Zheng Huai waved him off, and Liu Xie rushed to comfort his daughter.

Liu Xie knew his daughter had suffered immensely, but he had no choice. If he did not do as Zheng Huai instructed, not only would Liu Cheng be expelled, but the Liu family’s businesses would suffer, suppressed by the Zheng and Shen families.

If that happened, the whole family would face ruin.

Since Liu Xie and Liu Cheng had both scuttled off, Zheng Huai got up, smoothing the crinkles in his white doctor’s coat, and returned to his office in the infirmary.

He did not expect to meet the subject of his latest research project – Guan Lei.

Zheng Huai’s eyes instantly lit up. The clandestine aura of an immortal doctor vanished, replaced by the wretched scheming of a mad scientist. He clung to Guan Lei like a leech, saying, “Young Master Guan, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? Come, come. Take a seat.”

Guan Lei frowned. He really could not imagine why Zheng Huai would be here.

“There’s no need. I’m not here to look for you,” Guan Lei refused.

Zheng Huai did not care who Guan Lei was looking for. So long as he could catch this invaluable specimen for his research, all else could take a back seat.

Slowly, inch by inch, Zheng Huai wormed his way closer to Guan Lei, trying to secure a better hold to subdue his unruly guinea pig. Just as Zheng Huai attempted to secure his hold, Guan Lei clamped his hand in a vice.

Guan Lei had used 70% of his strength, causing Zheng Huai to wail in pain. “Guan Lei, let go! It hurts!”

Guan Lei snorted coldly and warned, “If there’s a next time, it won’t just be a matter of pain. I’ll turn you into a cripple!”

Zheng Huai pouted, feeling extremely wronged, “Guan Lei, you don’t know how to appreciate a good person’s heart. I’m doing this for your good, yet you still treat me with scorn. No one else has any hope of curing your illness. You disregard my good intentions because you view me through a tainted lens!”

Guan Lei’s eyes frosted over. He could not be bothered to deal with a wretch like Zheng Huai.

Just as Zheng Huai was about to continue convincing Guan Lei, a commotion outside interrupted them. A host of female students barged into the infirmary, surrounding Zheng Huai at the centre. Each student grabbed and tugged, shouting the many symptoms they were experiencing.

“Doctor Zheng, I just fell. Take a look. It hurts so much!”

“Doctor Zheng, my chest is always tight. I think I’m sick. Please take a look at me!”

“Doctor Zheng, they’re all fine. Please take a look at me first. My illness is serious!”

“Doctor Zheng, they’re all faking it. I’m the one who’s sick. I’m lovesick!”

“Doctor Zheng, I think I have heatstroke. I’m a little dizzy. Hold on to me. I… Ah! Whoever it is pushing me, prepare yourself for death!”

With each cry growing louder than the last, the female students who had arrived to see Zheng Huai fought for his attention. Unsurprisingly, Zheng Huai, trapped in the middle as he was, became collateral damage.

“Don’t grab my hair, don’t pull my clothes, don’t…” Zheng Huai’s terrified voice was lost in the sea of voices.
