"Please make way inside."
As Du Yunyun approached, she saw the elevator arrive and happily stepped towards it.
However, to her surprise, the man in the suit inside not only didn't make space but took a step forward, blocking the elevator door.
This was too much.
Du Yunyun looked up at the man blocking the door and asked, "There's plenty of space inside, why are you blocking the door and not letting me on?"
The man in the suit replied, "Take the next one."
With that, he reached out to press the close door button.
But after pressing it, he found the elevator doors showing no intention of closing.
Looking outside, he realized it was Du Yunyun, who had been about to board, holding down the external button, preventing the doors from closing.
"I told you to take the next one. Let go of your hand!"
The man in the suit's voice clearly became rigid.
At this point, someone at the elevator entrance could no longer stand by.
"Damn, you're a grown man bullying a young girl. You're shameless."
"Exactly. So tall and strong, yet scaring a little girl. If this were when I was young, I'd have gone up and beaten him."
"What, are you all superior or something? This elevator is for public use, why can you go and we can't?"
People chimed in one after another, and the man in the suit instantly became the target of public criticism.
At this moment, an elder standing the furthest inside coughed and then said something in a low voice.
Following that, the man in the suit took two steps back. His companions also moved closer to the elder, making space within the elevator.
Seeing this, Du Yunyun nodded towards Du Fei beside her, puffing out her chest like a proud little rooster.
Du Fei, with a smile, gave her a thumbs-up.
The siblings and the others entered the elevator together.
The reason Du Fei hadn't spoken up earlier was twofold: firstly, Du Fei didn't believe the other party would dare to do anything to Du Yunyun in broad daylight.
Secondly, Du Fei felt that Du Yunyun was growing up and had her own thoughts and ability to handle things, so he didn't need to treat her like a child and protect her like a flower in a greenhouse.
The facts proved that Du Yunyun could handle things very well, just like she had done moments ago.
When the elevator reached the underground parking lot on the B1 level, Du Fei led Du Yunyun out and they went to find their car.
Beep beep.
As soon as Du Fei unlocked the car door, Du Yunyun pulled open the side door and began placing all the shopping bags she was holding onto the seats, one by one.
"Phew, finally I don't have to carry these anymore. My hands are about to break."
With her hands free, Du Yunyun looked relieved.
Du Fei said, "So young, yet you can't stand a little hardship. Those girls go shopping for hours and don't get tired. We've only been out for less than an hour in total. Look how tired you are."
Du Yunyun turned to Du Fei, hands on her hips, and said, "Less than an hour in total? We've been out for an hour and twenty-five minutes! Brother, you have no sense of time!"
An hour and twenty-five minutes?
Du Fei had just said it casually, never expecting Du Yunyun to state the time so precisely.
And looking at her serious expression, it didn't seem like she was guessing.
"Alright, alright, it's me who has no sense of time. But considering your brother bought you a new phone and new clothes, can you forgive me this time?"
Seeing Du Fei feign distress, Du Yunyun burst into laughter.
After their playful banter, Du Fei checked the time and realized it was getting late. He thought Wu Chunmei must be waiting for them at home, so he pulled Du Yunyun into the car to head home.
Starting the engine, Du Fei followed the mall's exit signs, driving to the left.
Just as he made a turn, he suddenly saw a crowd gathered to his left.
He squinted and realized it was the group of bodyguards in suits from the elevator.
"Boss, boss, are you okay?"
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
"I'll call right away."
It turned out the elder who had been surrounded by bodyguards earlier was now slumped beside a car, clutching his chest in pain.
And the bodyguards who had been so imposing moments ago were now in a state of anxious disarray.
Du Fei quickly parked the car and told Du Yunyun in the passenger seat to stay put in the car and wait for him.
Then, Du Fei quickly opened his car door, jumped out, and ran towards where the elder was.
Although the elder's bodyguards had been rude to Du Yunyun earlier, the elder had later instructed his bodyguards to make way for Du Yunyun and the others.
Besides, as a doctor, Du Fei's first instinct upon seeing a patient was to immediately provide medical attention, putting everything else aside for later.
"Stop! What do you think you're doing?"
However, to his surprise, as Du Fei approached the group of bodyguards, he was stopped.
Two of the bodyguards looked at Du Fei with vigilance.
Du Fei stopped, "I'm a doctor. I see your boss seems to have a health issue. I can examine him."
The two bodyguards instinctively turned their heads to look back.
A man in his forties, who had been squatting beside the elder, slowly stood up.
"You say you're a doctor? Do you have any proof?"
The man was dressed impeccably, with rimless glasses, and appeared refined.
However, his tone was anything but refined; it was rather haughty.
Du Fei scoffed, "How do you expect me to prove it? I'm here to help out of good intentions. If you're going to communicate with me like this, then consider me meddling."
With that, Du Fei turned to leave.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Unexpectedly, just as Du Fei turned around, two urgent shouts rang out behind him.
When Du Fei turned back, he saw that the elder's face had turned as pale as paper, and his expression was one of intense pain.
"The ambulance is here..."
The refined man hadn't finished speaking.
He felt a gust of wind brush past him. When he looked again, he saw that Du Fei, who should have been blocked by the bodyguards, was already beside his boss.
"Seize him immediately!"
The refined man, flustered, immediately ordered the bodyguards to grab Du Fei.
Du Fei said coldly, "Your boss is suffering from a pneumothorax, and he also has a long-term heart condition. If you try to stop me, he won't live for more than two minutes!"
"How do you know the boss has a long-term heart condition?"
The man was somewhat surprised to hear Du Fei mention the boss's heart condition. After a moment of realization, he immediately said, "Save my boss at once!"
Du Fei, too impatient to argue with the man, immediately asked for the elder to be laid flat. He then pulled open the elder's shirt and began to administer aid.
