CHAPTER 872: CHAPTER 874: CONTINUING TO CAUSE TROUBLE

Finally, it was his turn. When Xiao Yifei saw him walk in, he immediately put away the smile on his face, adopting a cold demeanor, and said, "Why are you here again? You must feel uncomfortable if you don’t see me every day, huh." Xiao Yifei didn’t even glance at him and just said.

"Doctor Xiao, let me make it clear, I registered properly today to see you for a consultation. After all, I’m the person being served. With that attitude, you’d better be careful, or I’ll file a complaint against you." Zheng Peng said.

"I refuse to treat patients like you. You can leave now." Xiao Yifei still didn’t lift his head as he spoke. Xiao Yifei thought that Zheng Peng surely had nothing wrong with him; he was just here to stir up trouble. The same illness had been cured for dozens of others by Xiao Yifei, and they were fine, so why was Zheng Peng’s health an issue?

"Doctor Xiao, you said it. If my condition gets worse in the future, you’ll take full responsibility. Think it over." Zheng Peng threatened.

Xiao Yifei remained expressionless and said, "If you’re done speaking, you can leave now. I don’t want to keep asking you to leave over and over."

Zheng Peng didn’t argue further and left. At that moment, Xiao Yifei didn’t see anything wrong with the whole situation. He had absolute confidence in his medical skills and believed his judgment was not wrong.

However, no matter what heights a person reaches, they should always live with some humility. Xiao Yifei was too confident, and often at moments of such confidence, problems arise easily. Yet, Xiao Yifei hadn’t realized this yet.

Zheng Peng left Xiao Yifei’s office and quickly headed to Sun Xingyao’s office, where Sun Xingyao was resting his eyes.

"Director Sun, you seem to have quite a leisurely time. Look at the line of people waiting to see Xiao Yifei; it’s almost out the door. But a leisurely life like this is quite good. After all, your salary remains the same. I don’t understand why you find Xiao Yifei so displeasing. With him around, you get to relax. Isn’t that great?" Zheng Peng said.

"That’s not something you can easily understand. Have you read ’Romance of the Three Kingdoms’? In it, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu are natural-born rivals. From the first time Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Liang, he was envious of his talent, and even until his death, Zhou Yu was still saying things like, ’Why Zhuge Liang was born if Zhou Yu is already here.’ It’s the same between me and Xiao Yifei. From the first time I saw him, it was destined that we wouldn’t get along well."

"Have you set everything up? How’s the recording?" Sun Xingyao returned to the main topic and asked Zheng Peng.

"Everything is fine." Saying so, Zheng Peng took out his phone and played back the recording he had just made.

Listening to it, Sun Xingyao said, "You did a reliable job this time. With this evidence, we’ve essentially succeeded halfway."

"I remember this virus is initially difficult to contract, only spreadable through blood and saliva. So how did I get infected originally?" Zheng Peng was still unclear about what Sun Xingyao was planning next, and he didn’t understand how he inexplicably contracted the virus.

"Do you think Xiao Yifei wouldn’t have a chance to get to you? Think carefully. He was studying that virus at the time, and as a doctor, he had every opportunity. Recall if you had any private contact with him before the incident." Sun Xingyao guided Zheng Peng.

"Although the virus is hard to contract initially, once it mutates, anyone with lung issues can easily get infected through contact. But I suspect Xiao Yifei injected the virus into your body." Sun Xingyao continued.

"I think there was once when I went out to eat and happened to meet him. He was with my brother, and then they came over to eat with me, and we had a little drink. After that, we each went home, and a few days later, I got sick. Could it have been that time? But my brother was there; Xiao Yifei wouldn’t dare do anything, right?" Zheng Peng said.

"That must have been the time. I’m sure of it. Do you know what we need to do next? Since he won’t treat you, let’s spread this virus among the people. We have full evidence this time, and Xiao Yifei won’t escape." Sun Xingyao said.

So, they carefully extracted the virus from Zheng Peng’s body and spread it into Xiao Yifei’s office. This way, most of the patients who went to see Xiao Yifei would get infected. Patients visiting were generally not in good health, making them easy targets for infection.

Of course, Xiao Yifei was still completely unaware of their scheme. He continued working diligently. He had long forgotten that Zheng Peng came to see him for a consultation.

That noon, he was about to head to the canteen for a quick meal. He had been so busy these days that he had lost his appetite, only eating well during dinner upon returning home.

Just then, Tang Rong called him: "Hey, come down. I’m at the hospital entrance." Tang Rong finished speaking and hung up.

Xiao Yifei was a bit confused, wondering why Tang Rong suddenly came to his hospital. Without much time to think, he quickly jogged out of the hospital.

"I just made this food at home, and it’s still hot. Hurry up and eat it!" Tang Rong said as soon as she saw him, handing him a thermos.

"Rongrong, why are you so good to me? Come upstairs and sit for a while; I’m on break now." Xiao Yifei said.

So the two went upstairs together into Xiao Yifei’s office.

"Your office is really big. It seems you were right; your dean does take good care of you." Tang Rong said enviously.

"Yeah, because of this big office, even the head director is a bit jealous!" Xiao Yifei said proudly.

"Seeing how well you’re doing in this hospital, I can be at ease." Tang Rong said with relief.

"Of course, you pick someone good, they have to be excellent, otherwise, how could they match up to you?" Xiao Yifei said.

At that moment, Sun Xingyao knocked and entered. Seeing a beautiful woman in Xiao Yifei’s office, he prepared to leave immediately: "Sorry to disturb, Doctor Xiao, enjoy."

"Ah, Director Sun, come in. It’s fine. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Tang Rong. Rongrong, this is the director I often talk about at our hospital." Xiao Yifei introduced them.

"Miss Tang, you flatter me. I’m not that impressive, but you really surprised me. Xiao Yifei is lucky to have a girlfriend like you. Looks like you’re here to bring Xiao Yifei food!" Sun Xingyao said, seeing Xiao Yifei halfway through his meal.

"Yes, Rongrong saw how hard I’m working here, so she made food and brought it to me. Director Sun, is there something you need from me?" Xiao Yifei asked.

"It’s nothing really, just came by to see if you wanted to have lunch together if you hadn’t eaten. Seems I came at the wrong time, so I’ll leave." Sun Xingyao said, preparing to leave.
