Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 169 If the Words Don't Shock, I Won't Rest in Death

Xu Jia's gaze shifted to Li Chen.

She didn't speak, yet the questioning intent in her silence was unmistakable.

Li Chen looked at the unfamiliar woman before him, pondered for a long time, and could confirm that he didn't know her nor had they any interaction. So, why was she seeking him out?

"I'm Li Chen, may I ask what you need?" Li Chen inquired.

"Doctor Li, hello, if it's convenient for you, could we talk in private?" the woman initiated the invitation.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Sure!" Li Chen thought for a moment and nodded.

A beauty's request is always hard to turn down.

Such a gorgeous and capable woman—even though he didn't know why she approached him, he still agreed.

"Teacher, I'll step out for a moment."

With that, he stood up and walked from behind his desk.

As he passed by Xu Jia, the tender flesh on his lower back was tightly pinched by a jade hand.

"Hiss!"

Li Chen's face twisted in pain.

He knew the beautiful teacher must have misunderstood, but with no clue about her identity, he didn't know how to explain.

He'd deal with it when he got back!

There was a coffee shop diagonally across from the hospital.

The two sat face to face, Li Chen's gaze unabashedly resting on the woman's exquisite face, sizing her up from every angle—a face that looked good from any perspective.

However, from those subtle signs, Li Chen deduced that the woman must be no younger than thirty-five—a mature beauty.

Confronted with Li Chen's frivolous looks, the woman remained calm.

Instantly, he had a hunch.

"No need!" Enjoy new stories from empire

"Right, my shift is starting. If you have something to say, just speak plainly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

At this, Chen Wanqiu's amazement deepened.

She wasn't sure of Li Chen's exact age, who seemed about her son's age, yet his confident demeanor and sharpness of mind seemed totally out of step with someone so young.

She thought of her own son, who had only play on his mind, and sighed inwardly.

Similar in age, yet worlds apart in stature.

"Doctor Li, you are astute. Indeed, there's another matter for which I'd like to ask for your help!"

Since talking around the topic was getting them nowhere, Chen Wanqiu allowed herself a small smile and said, "I've heard that Doctor Li mentioned my brother's illness at the Public Security Association the other day. My brother, blind to your medical expertise, now finds his condition worsened. I'm here to request Doctor Li to take a look at my brother."

At this, a smile crept onto Li Chen's face.

Just as he suspected.

The woman was here on account of Chen Yaohui's illness.

When he had seen Yaohui at the Public Security Association, the man's illness was already serious, but Yaohui had dismissed his words. Li Chen had no desire to repeat himself.

It seemed that the situation he'd described had likely come to pass.

"Not interested!"

Li Chen's words were cold as he rejected the offer outright.

He was no saint, nearly getting played before, unwilling to let misplaced compassion drive him to eagerly heal someone.

Even if that someone was the Vice-Chairman of the Public Security Association, what did it have to do with him?

People die every day in this world. What's one more Vice-Chairman?
