Jin Weike remained unruffled, seated in the oversized office chair, one hand resting on the desk, tapping rhythmically, a silent challenge to Ye Longlin's imposing presence.
Their auras clashed.
Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and spoke slowly, "Simply because I can throw you out of here. It's that simple."
He didn't want to elaborate. After overhearing the conversation at the entrance, he already knew the Dawn Hospital was not as straightforward as it seemed, with numerous violations in its operations.
Jin Weike let out a scoff, "Hahahaha, throw me out? Are you kidding me? Not only is this my territory, but if you can even lift me with one hand, I'll consider you formidable."
Mu Hanqi: "......"
Zhang Chunxiu: "......"
Both felt speechless. This guy must be at least two hundred jin. Lifting him with one hand was something no ordinary person could do.
He seemed rather proud of it?
They both felt utterly bewildered.
Ye Longlin stood up, glancing at the floor. It was only the seventh floor. Falling from here might not be fatal, but for the man in front of him, it was a different story.
Aristotle believed that the speed at which objects fall is determined by their weight; heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. If air resistance is disregarded, the free-fall speed of objects of different weights is the same, meaning the acceleration due to gravity is the same.
If he were to fall, he would most likely be killed instantly!
Ye Longlin opened the window, saw no one below, and directly shattered the glass.
He said nothing, simply walking towards Jin Weike in silence.
"What are you doing? I warn you, don't come any closer!"
Seeing Ye Longlin approach, Jin Weike's heart suddenly pounded, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Ye Longlin spoke again, "I told you, I'm going to throw you out."
His tone was calm, as if discussing an ordinary matter, but the more nonchalant he was, the more unnerved Jin Weike became.
"Guards, throw them out!"
Jin Weike slammed the desk and shouted angrily. At times like this, the more furious someone was, the more it indicated their inability to do anything. Conversely, it also hinted at a lack of confidence.
"Bang!"
The office door was pushed open, and a group of security guards flooded in. The head of security squinted at Ye Longlin, "Martial artist?"
Ye Longlin's brow furrowed, "Indeed."
To encounter a martial artist here again proved that this hospital was not simple. In fact, it was definitely suspicious. If not for the numerous violations, why would they employ martial artists?
Either the Li family behind it intended to destroy evidence at a critical moment, or they planned to kill Jin Weike.
Currently, these were the only two conclusions he could draw.
Ye Longlin looked at the approaching guards and sensed their cultivation. They were mere ants, merely Martial Kings.
A Martial King dared to act so arrogantly in front of him?
"Either leave, or die."
Ye Longlin's approach to such "shields" was always iron-fisted; he had no desire for further discussion.
People like them wouldn't learn their lesson unless they were beaten severely.
"Kid, do you know whose territory this is? This is the Li family's territory. The Dawn Hospital is backed by the Li family, one of the ten great families. Do you dare provoke the Li family? Are you tired of living, or have you been seeking death?"
The head of security sneered, as if the Li family's backing made him fearless. His expression was arrogant, almost reaching the heavens.
"Brother, this young lady is quite attractive."
Someone beside him reminded Li Ziliu with a lewd chuckle, his eyes leering.
Li Ziliu turned to look at Mu Hanqi, appraising her from head to toe. He praised sincerely, "Not bad, indeed not bad. You guys tie him up first. After I enjoy myself, I'll share her with you."
"Thank you, Brother!"
"Thank you, Brother!"
They all spoke excitedly, as if they had already tasted her.
Zhang Chunxiu nervously clutched Mu Hanqi's hand. Mu Hanqi gently patted it, signaling her to remain calm.
Then, Mu Hanqi pulled out a pistol and placed it directly on the desk. Her delicate brows furrowed, "Whoever dares take a step forward, dies."
Perhaps it was from spending time with Ye Longlin, but Mu Hanqi had also adopted a commanding aura.
The appearance of the pistol startled many of the security guards, but they soon burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, little girl, you don't need to be so scared. Do you really think a toy gun can scare us? If you have the guts, shoot it. I'd love to see how powerful this toy gun is!"
"Yeah, shoot it. Come on, shoot my crotch. If you don't obliterate it, it'll obliterate you later, hahahaha!"
Mu Hanqi's pretty face turned icy cold. "Since you're seeking death, I can oblige. I've never seen such a suicidal request."
Saying this, she cocked the pistol.
The pistol was small, a miniature firearm, meant for Mu Hanqi's self-defense.
After cocking it, she directly aimed at the crotch of the man who had just suggested shooting his crotch and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
The moment the gunshots echoed, everyone fell silent. Their eyes widened in disbelief. Even Zhang Chunxiu flinched, looking at Mu Hanqi incredulously, seemingly not expecting her to possess a real firearm!
The next moment, a scream erupted in the dean's office.
"Ah!"
The man who had spoken moments ago clutched his crotch, blood gushing profusely.
All the men present shivered and instinctively moved away from Mu Hanqi. She had just destroyed the means of perpetuation!
"Anyone else want to try? You can come forward now."
Mu Hanqi looked at them with a half-smile, a slight smirk appearing on her lips.
But this faint smile sent a chill through everyone, a coldness that seemed to shoot from their nether regions straight to their scalps.
If they knew the art of 'Turtle Shrinking,' they would likely be in peak condition right now.
Li Ziliu also took a deep breath. Anyone who could legally carry a firearm in the capital was no ordinary person, and none of them were simple.
After all, the capital was filled with influential figures; one careless move could provoke a truly significant individual.
Previously, Li Ziliu thought he could swagger through the capital, but now he realized that others were far more audacious than him!
"What exactly do you want?"
Li Ziliu took a deep breath, helplessness flickering in his eyes. He was just security here; other matters were beyond his authority.
Ye Longlin merely glanced at him, remaining silent.
Li Ziliu understood his meaning and turned to leave.
He was just a Martial King, not strong enough to block bullets.
Although it was said that fists were faster within seven steps and guns faster beyond seven steps, Ye Longlin was also within that seven-step range. If he were to act, the other party would surely retaliate, and the outcome of life or death would be uncertain.
He felt a sense of mortal danger emanating from Ye Longlin.
"Now, can you give me what I want?"
Ye Longlin said with a knowing smile.
Jin Weike glared, a sinister grin on his face, "You want me to give it to you? Who do you think you are? What if I refuse!"
Ye Longlin enjoyed a tough opponent. Grabbing his collar with one hand, he effortlessly lifted him up, dragging him to the window and thrusting his head out.
Then, Ye Longlin placed a foot on his buttocks and lit a cigarette.
Next, Ye Longlin beckoned, and Mu Hanqi produced a cylindrical firecracker, showed it to him, and then tucked it into his belt.
"You have half a cigarette's time. If you don't speak, I guarantee your buttocks will bloom, beyond repair even with surgery. As the hospital dean, you should understand the risks of infection."
This type of firecracker was called 'Heaven-Shaking Earth-Shattering' in the Rongcheng region, a powerful firecracker, the kind... forbidden for those under eighteen.
After Ye Longlin inserted it, he grimaced. This guy was too fat. If he could be rendered down, he'd yield over a hundred catties of oil.
Mu Hanqi also looked disgusted, "If you don't wash your hands, don't touch me."
With those words, Ye Longlin lost the desire to smoke. He immediately stubbed out the cigarette and placed it on the fuse.
With such a large fatty stuffed like this, he felt utterly insecure, especially with a giant firecracker that could explode at any moment strapped to his waist. If it detonated, his kidneys would be gone!
That would be disastrous!
"What do you want? Just tell me what you want!"
Jin Weike, as the dean, had never been treated like this before. His psychological defenses shattered, he asked with immense anger, resorting to impotent rage.
"The truth behind Zhang Chunxiu's daughter's death, and all the evidence of your hospital's illegal operations."
He had come for these two reasons, but the evidence was the most crucial.
Someone would definitely fall due to this evidence, perhaps many people would suffer consequences due to complicity, connections, and cronyism. Their courage wasn't his concern; his concern was preventing these people from corrupting the medical system!
Status was not the standard for measuring everything, nor was it a tool for their greed.
This was his fundamental objective.
"I... I'll give it to you. Let me go first. It's going to explode, hurry and let me go! If you let me go, I'll give it to you!" kuAiδugg
The esteemed dean of a hospital was actually on the verge of tears. It was unclear whether it was genuine fear of death or pain.
Ye Longlin watched as the fuse began to burn. He casually pulled it out, calmly extinguished the fuse, and then placed it on the desk.
"I don't want to waste words with you. You have three minutes to produce it. If you don't, I'll have you swallow it and then wait for death."
Jin Weike was already terrified. Seeing the firecracker, his whole body trembled. He quickly nodded, "Please wait, please wait."
