Chapter 726: Chapter 726: Exchange
After Lu Yingxue finished speaking those righteous words,
many people couldn’t help but vent their emotions and began to complain.
“We’ve never had such a ss before. When our Little Divine Doctor held free clinics, everything was always steady. There has never been such an accident!”
“Yeah! I think soone is just destined to bring bad luck!”
“Maybe it’s just bad character always causing trouble! I’ve long disliked it, using her good family background and great ntor to flaunt her power in our Imperial Capital! She’s so ostentatious, how can she compare to our Little Divine Doctor’s humility and gentleness!”
“If Miss Lu hadn’t been sched against by Xiang Mingzhu at the needle trial, who the champion would be is still uncertain! What disciple of a National Doctor, I think she just took advantage of the situation!”
They were already filled with resentnt from queuing and now couldn’t help but misplace their anger on Qiao Xi.
Lu Yingxue comforted, “Everyone, I’m really sorry! Please go ho early, Doctor Qiao also encountered unforeseen disaster.”
She looked at the crowd.
Thinking that Zhong Lingxiao was really capable, she wondered how many people he had planted to stir everyone’s emotions.
This matter might escalate and go viral online.
With public opinion fernting, she wanted to take this opportunity to crush Qiao Xi under her feet, making her lose everything this ti.
Lu Yingxue’s eyes flashed shrewdly, she had thought the person rushing to rescue after the car accident was planted by Zhong Lingxiao, but it turned out the main act was here.
What a huge bomb thrown into the crowd!
Let’s see how Qiao Xi will handle this.
Qiao Xi indeed had a headache.
She tightly held Huo Xingzhou’s hand, a sharp pain ca from her abdon, but she could not show it.
She looked at the frantic man in front of her and said, “Calm down, hurting a child won’t change anything. You also have family, think about how sad they would be. If you have financial burdens, we can apply for the Xingyue Foundation’s dical assistance for you. Take care of yourself and strive for life.”
The man’s pulse was sowhat dangerous, but with proper care maybe he could live another year or two.
But one must hold onto hope.
With technological advancents, anything is possible.
“Liars! You are all liars! The doctor said I’m beyond saving! You can’t even cure my illness, what right do you have to tell these things!”
The man’s emotions collapsed, tears streaked across his face, “I also want to be a good person! I also want a complete family! But my illness dragged down the whole family. We even sold our house, and my aged parents have to rent in the urban village, earning a living by doing hard labor and picking up scraps!
What have I done wrong to deserve such retribution?”
“Heavens! Even if I’m guilty, don’t tornt my elderly parents!”
He controlled the little girl who cried so hoarsely, feeling a bit of unwillingness in his heart.
However, soone gave him a million yuan.
To make a scene, regardless of success or failure.
That million could ensure his parents’ retirent, could let them live the rest of their lives comfortably.
“Aren’t you the disciple of the National Doctor? The internet praises you to the skies and beyond, why can’t you even cure my illness?” the man cried and shouted, “Why can’t you cure ! You doctors are all bad people!”
He tightened his grip on the little girl’s neck, her face turning pale and blue.
“Nannan! Nannan!” The girl’s mother cried out, “Don’t hurt my child!”
Qiao Xi took a deep breath, “The child is innocent! You’re angry at us doctors!”
She squeezed Huo Xingzhou’s fingers and said to the mad man, “What conditions do you have? You can state them.”
If this scene was aid at her, then this man would surely speak.
“You want to save this little girl, co over and switch with her!”
He indeed said so.
Qiao Xi’s heart sank, she glanced at Lu Yingxue standing nearby watching the commotion. Her face showed so worry, but there was a cold gleam in her eyes.
“Fine! I’ll switch!”
Qiao Xi said loudly, “But how do I know you’re telling the truth or lying!”
She saw Old Chen had already maneuvered into the crowd, giving her a nod of signal.
“Here’s the deal, I walk over and you let the child go.” Qiao Xi was risking herself, it was the only way to resolve the current predicant.
This person ca prepared.
The middle-aged man hesitated upon hearing Qiao Xi’s words.
His gloomy eyes staring at Qiao Xi, then glancing at the vigilant bodyguards nearby. He strangled the little girl’s neck and said, “Make those bodyguards back off! Make them leave!”
“Okay.”
Qiao Xi turned her head towards Huo Xingzhou and said, “Tell them to step back.”
Huo Xingzhou did not argue with her at this mont, instead, he squeezed her fingers saying, “Be careful, stay safe. Don’t walk too fast…”
“I know.”
Her heart was suspended, yet she lowered her voice to soothe Huo Xingzhou, “His health is poor, he’s at the end of his rope.”
After an outburst, the hand holding a dining fork was trembling.
Controlling a little girl was no problem, but it wouldn’t be the sa with an adult.
Qiao Xi hid a barely visible long needle in her sleeve, pressing it with her thumb so it wouldn’t be noticed.
The bodyguards all stepped back, and Qiao Xi walked out of the protective circle.
The middle-aged man retreated a few steps, looking very cautious.
“I’m coming over, then you release the child. Your target is , right? So don’t commit sins and harm others! Keep the fork away from the child!” Qiao Xi coaxed and threatened, stepping forward.
She stared at the bloody fork in the man’s hand, feeling angry inside!
These people had no bottom line!
All for their own selfish gain, they could do anything!
“Back off! Everyone except her, back off!” the man shouted loudly, “All of you stand back, or else I won’t be polite!”
The Huo Family’s bodyguards stepped back a bit more.
Qiao Xi was only about a ter away from the man, and once again said, “I am already here, they’re so far from ! You don’t have to worry about us going back on our word, you release the child first. Let her walk slowly to her mother…”
Qiao Xi took another step forward.
The man’s lips trembled, his heart was beating fast with nervousness. This was his first ti doing sothing like this, very inexperienced.
His palms were sweating, even in the cold weather, his forehead was also sweating.
“You release the child, and I will stand here without moving.”
As long as he let go of the child, she could control him.
The man swallowed, slowly lowering the knife and fork, and placing a hand on the child’s shoulder.
He seed to be moved by Qiao Xi’s words.
He tried moving towards Qiao Xi, but suddenly Lu Yingxue shouted loudly from the side, “Be careful! Behind you…Qiao Xi, watch out!”
The man was startled!
Instinctively, he pushed the child hard and reached out to grab Qiao Xi’s wrist.
