The Clinic Opens

Su Ziyang helped his three brothers into the hotel. Seeing the bloodstains all over them, the person at the front desk hurried over.

"What happened, young man?" The receptionist was an older auntie. "How did this happen?"

Su Ziyang waved a hand at her. "Hey, Auntie, it's nothing. They just drank too much and took a tumble over there. I said, quit messing around! Honestly!"

The receptionist clearly didn't want to meddle. After asking a couple of questions, she returned to the front desk and went back to looking at her phone.

Once they were inside the room, Han Peng sobered up a little. He sat on the floor, moaning and groaning. Those kicks had obviously been no joke.

Wang Jinqiu and Ma Jun were still practically sleepwalking. They probably couldn't even feel the pain.

"Man, our class reunion turned into an enemies' reunion. Seriously!" Su Ziyang hadn't been beaten, but he still felt bad.

Xing Zhiyu really was a petty man who wouldn't wait a night to take revenge, and he'd even brought along a bunch of thugs!

Watching his three brothers groan, Su Ziyang sighed. He put on his coat, went out to a pharmacy, and bought iodophor, cotton swabs, hydrogen peroxide, and a pack of gauze.

For wounds, iodophor could reduce irritation and was also very effective at reducing inflammation.

When Su Ziyang returned to the hotel, he found that the three had changed positions. Somehow, Ma Jun had made it into the bathroom and was dry-heaving over the toilet. Half of Han Peng's body was on the bed, his feet were on the floor, and he had only one shoe on. Wang Jinqiu was lying on his side on the floor, fast asleep with his head on Han Peng's other shoe.

Su Ziyang had been angry, but the sight of the three of them looking so ridiculous made him burst out laughing. Then he took out his phone and snapped some photos to remember the occasion.

After taking the pictures, Su Ziyang hurriedly took out the hydrogen peroxide and iodophor he'd bought and patched the three of them up. They looked as if they'd taken a terrible beating, but there was actually nothing seriously wrong.

Those men had all been professional fighters. They knew exactly where to hit to cause pain without doing lasting damage, while also landing a critical hit.

Su Ziyang wiped down and disinfected the places where the three appeared to be injured, then checked their pulses and found that there really was nothing seriously wrong. He stripped off their clothes and heaved them onto the bed. Feeling a little tired himself, he lay down to rest.

The night passed uneventfully. Ma Jun, who had drunk the most, was actually the first to wake up.

"Fuck! That hurts like hell!" Those were the first words out of Ma Jun's mouth when he opened his eyes.

"How are you?" Su Ziyang blinked, rolled over onto his stomach, and looked at Ma Jun from atop the covers.

"All I remember is getting beaten up yesterday. I drank too much. I really don't remember! What happened?" Ma Jun looked at the red swelling on his face in the mirror and rotated his arm, which hurt like hell too.

"All right, Big Brother. Stop looking. It's nothing serious! It just hurts, that's all!" Su Ziyang chuckled.

"What happened? I just remember some asshole seemed to come looking for trouble. I remember we showed off our might last night and knocked those guys down in just a few moves!" Ma Jun took a sip of water and rubbed his fist.

Su Ziyang looked at Ma Jun in surprise, then gave him a thumbs-up. "Big Brother! You're absolutely right! You were incredibly brave last night! One left hook and you dropped that guy! Then a left front kick, a right front kick! Then, smack, smack! Lightning six consecutive whips! Smack, smack, sparks flying and lightning flashing all the way, and you took those guys straight down!"

Ma Jun didn't catch what Su Ziyang meant. He chuckled, then drifted back into dreamland, perfectly satisfied. Before long, he was snoring away.

"..." Su Ziyang was speechless.

Ma Jun was just that carefree. Su Ziyang still remembered when he'd first met him. Ma Jun had been playing a game in the dorm. In the middle of it, he'd felt his pocket and discovered that his wallet was gone.

Inside the wallet were his ID card, bank card, house key, and, most importantly, 4,000 yuan.

While playing his game, Ma Jun suddenly shouted, "Fuck! Where's my wallet?"

Su Ziyang sprang straight up from his bed. "What's wrong, Big Brother?"

"I lost my wallet," Ma Jun said.

Su Ziyang immediately said, "Come on, stop playing. Let's go look for it!"

But Ma Jun just said calmly, "Damn, what's the rush? Even if I look for it, I've got to finish this round first!"

Su Ziyang was dumbfounded!

The emperor wasn't worried, yet here he was, the old eunuch, fretting himself sick!!!

"You're really not going to look? There's 4,000 yuan in there!" Su Ziyang's eyes went round.

"Where would I even look for it?" Brother Jun delivered another stunning remark.

Then, while Su Ziyang was still in shock, something even more shocking happened.

Ma Jun was still playing when a shifty-looking person came in through the door. Why shifty-looking? Because he had his head down and his back hunched. Once inside, he asked, "Excuse me, is Ma Jun in this dorm?"

Ma Jun took off his headset and said he was Ma Jun.

Then the person took a black wallet out of his pocket. "Is this your wallet?"

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Good. Your ID card and student ID were inside, so I brought it over to you!" Before Ma Jun could thank him, the person vanished in a flash.

Ma Jun counted the things in his wallet, and amazingly, not a single thing was missing! Su Ziyang later summed up Ma Jun's situation: a fool has a fool's luck!!!

Watching Ma Jun sleep soundly, Su Ziyang felt a little sleepy too. That had never happened since he started cultivating the Heaven and Earth Mystic Perception Technique. Su Ziyang closed his eyes and began regulating his breathing.

At around eleven in the morning, Han Peng and Wang Jinqiu shook their heads and woke up.

"Ow. That really hurts!"

The two spoke in unison. Su Ziyang opened his eyes and looked at them. "How are you?"

"Man!" Han Peng had been relatively sober the night before. "We went out for a meal and ended up in a fight! I'm speechless!!!"

"I remember someone was pretty fierce last night. Bam, bam, and he knocked those guys down!" Wang Jinqiu stood up, rubbing his head and frowning as he looked for water.

Su Ziyang smiled. "It was our mighty Big Brother! Last night, Big Brother received, neutralized, and released! Bam, bam! Lightning five consecutive whips, and he knocked those guys down!!!"

Han Peng pursed his lips and nodded. "Big Brother really is a veteran of countless battles. Otherwise, we'd have gotten beaten up!!!"

While the two were discussing the battle, Ma Jun woke up too.

"You guys are just cowards. Exercise more in your spare time! Then you wouldn't get beaten up! Look at Fourth Brother here. He couldn't beat them, so he dodged, and he was just fine!" Ma Jun gestured at them and lectured them like a leader.

That suited Su Ziyang's intentions. If the three of them knew he had dealt with those men, who knew what kind of fuss they'd kick up?

All their clothes from the day before had gotten dirty, but fortunately they had brought changes of clothes. They showered, changed, and went out for brunch.

While they were eating, Su Ziyang's phone rang.

"Hello! Is this Doctor Su?"

Su Ziyang saw that it was an unfamiliar number and couldn't tell who it was, so he answered in the affirmative.

"Doctor Su, the renovations at our clinic are finished. If you're free, you can come back and start seeing patients!"

Su Ziyang checked the time and realized he'd already been away having fun for more than two months. "Okay, got it. Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" The call ended.

"Who was that?" Ma Jun asked indistinctly through a mouthful of bun.

"Didn't I tell you the other day about the clinic where I work? They're back to normal now, and they want me to go back to work!"

"That's right! It really is time to go back to work. This trip's been such a pain!"

The four ate and drank their fill, then rested for another half day. The next day, they went their separate ways and headed home.

Su Ziyang planned to go home first, then head to the clinic.

On the train, Su Ziyang took out his phone and sent a message to the dorm group chat.

Guys! I've got something explosive to share with you!

Then he sent the photos of the three of them sprawled around drunk to the group!

The group chat immediately exploded!

"Fourth Brother! You fucking!!!"

"Fourth Brother, fine. Don't let me catch sight of you again!!!"

Then came a barrage of reaction images.

Finally, Li Lizhi calmly said, "Fourth Brother, fucking awesome! Pictures saved! We'll talk when we meet!!!"

Su Ziyang merely smiled and paid the others in the group no more attention, gazing out the window at the sun as it was about to set!
