I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain – Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Father Xu’s Hidden Injury.

Wang Haoran used his X-Ray Vision on Xu Zheng’s lower abdomen. Upon closer inspection, he found a needle-shaped metal object that was the cause of Xu Zheng’s pain.

It was hidden so seamlessly that its scar was almost invisible on the skin, impossible to be noticed by the naked eye.

Moreover, it looked like the scar had already healed a long time ago.

Perhaps, even Xu Zheng himself would not be able to find it if he doesn’t look carefully enough.

‘There is no doubt that this metal object is the reason for Xu Muyan’s father’s sudden pain.’

‘But the strange thing is, it doesn’t hurt all the time but… instead it flickers like a damaged light bulb, sometimes it hurts, sometimes it doesn’t. How mysterious… my a*s!’ 

‘This doesn’t make any goddamn sense. This is a plot device for the Protagonist through and through.’

Wang Haoran couldn’t deal with the illogical reasoning of the situation. But one thing was clear, this was an opportunity created specifically for Chu Bai to regain the Xu Family’s trust.

Although the needle-shaped object was not visible to the naked eye, for Chu Bai, who had X-Ray vision, it would be very easy to discover.

The needle-shaped metal object accidently moved just now, which was the cause of Xu Zheng’s sudden pain. 

However, judging from Xu Zheng’s stern attitude, he had no intentions to go for a check-up. Of course, this was all for the sake of the plot.

Then the next step was for Chu Bai to…

“Uncle Xu, I think it would be better if you go to the hospital!”

Chu Bai took the lead when Wang Haoran was pondering, and spoke up.

“I already said there’s no need for it. Why should I go to the hospital just for minor pain?” Xu Zheng refused again.

But Chu Bai was reluctant to give up and continued, “Uncle Xu, even if you are in good health, it would be better for you to go to the hospital for a check-up. In the past, I had–”

“I think it’s about time you went to the hospital for a check-up.” Wang Haoran interrupted Chu Bai’s bland speech, and then turned to Xu Zheng asking, “Uncle Xu, the spot that you felt pain in just now. Have you ever been injured there before?” 

“Why do you ask?” Xu Zheng was surprised.

“Oh, I’ve seen similar news previously…” Wang Haoran replied slowly.

“There was a man who was playing around when he was a child and accidentally let a small sharp object pierce his body. At that time, seeing such a small wound, he didn’t pay much attention to it. Unfortunately, as the person grew older, the displacement of the sharp object began to hurt and cause him pain. He had occasional pain in his organs, which was only discovered when he went to the hospital for an examination.”

“At that time, the medical report stated that if he had come even a day later, his life would’ve been in grave danger with minor chances of surviving because of the same injury.”

“That’s why I asked Uncle Xu if the place that hurts in your lower abdomen, if it had previously been injured.”

After listening, Xu Zheng said solemnly, “One time, during a struggle with a thief I was apprehending, my lower abdomen was injured. It was painful at the time, but the wound was small and healed in a few days without even needing to apply any medicine. That was when the chronic pain in this place started.”

“Especially just now, the sharp pain almost took my breath away.”

“Uncle Xu, I asked you to go to hospital for the same reason. I also saw that news!” Chu Bai thought Wang Haoran would steal his credit so he started making up gibberish to try and fool Xu Zheng.

“Dad, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up. Both me and Mom are worried about you.”

“Dear, even though the cause of the pain isn’t clear, let’s go to the hospital just so we can be at ease.”

Xu Muyan and her mother were very concerned and tried to persuade Xu Zheng together.

Xu Zheng was about to nod his head in agreement, but Wang Haoran interrupted and added, “At this hour, unless we go to the emergency room, it’s possible that no one will attend you. And even if we try to go to the emergency room, the hospital will probably reject us and tell us to come back tomorrow saying Uncle Xu’s condition is not urgent.”

“That’s right. I’m not in a hurry, so let’s go to the hospital tomorrow instead. The doctor must also be tired after working the whole day and the people in the emergency department are probably busy, so I don’t dare take up emergency medical resources right now.” Xu Zheng felt that Wang Haoran’s logic was quite reasonable.

Xu Muyan and her mother were still a little uneasy, but after hearing what Xu Zheng said, they didn’t know how to persuade him any longer.

“It’s getting late, so go back. We still have class tomorrow.” Wang Haoran said, glancing at Chu Bai and Fan Jian.

Fan Jian quickly greeted them before riding away on his bicycle.

Chu Bai, on the other hand, paused for a moment before unhappily staring at Wang Haoran. He then stepped on his broken bicycle and soon disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Wang Haoran smiled in his heart as he looked at the direction Chu Bai went.

Sending Chu Bai away was his true purpose.

“Haoran, is your driver here? Do you want me to send you back?” Lawyer An asked Wang Haoran in a kind and friendly tone.

“Thank you, Auntie An. My driver is just nearby, so if I want to go back, I’ll just give him a call. That being said, before I go, I’d like to take Uncle Xu to the hospital for a check-up.” Wang Haoran replied with a sly smile.

“Eh? Didn’t you say that you may not be able to get an examination even if you go to the emergency room at this hour?” Xu Muyan asked, taken aback.

“Of course. However, that is only in public hospitals. Private clinics don’t have such restrictions.”

“A clinic?”

“Although it is a clinic, the level of medical facilities and doctors there is as good as that of the top public hospitals in Qingling City. It’s even enough to compete with major international hospitals.”

Xu Muyan was surprised.

‘There is such a great clinic situated in Qingling City?’

“Haoran, are you talking about Tianhui Clinic?” Lawyer An is well-informed. Hearing Wang Haoran describe the clinic, she quickly thought of a place and name.

“Indeed, Aunt An is correct.” Wang Haoran nodded in agreement.

The medical services of the Tianhui Clan were indeed top-notch, but the price of their services was also terribly expensive. In addition, even if one is willing to spend that much money, the clinic may not accept them as patients.

Simply put, this was where the rich and high-positioned go for examinations and check-ups.

Ordinary people couldn’t even make an appointment at that clinic.

Lawyer An’s face suddenly became a little embarrassed upon seeing Wang Haoran nodding.

The profession of a lawyer was glamorous, and the pay was quite high too. 

But when it came down to it, she was still unqualified to go make reservations at a place like Tianhui Clinic, which was privy to only those of the top echelon, the top 1% of people in Qingling.

“Mom, is it difficult to go to this Tianhui clinic to see a doctor?”

Seeing her mother’s odd complexion, Xu Muyan asked her in a whisper.

“That clinic only accepts people who are either rich or possess high positions. We won’t be accepted there. It’s better to go to other hospitals.” Lawyer An spoke with a frown.

“Won’t accept?? Bah! No need then. We’ll just go to the hospital tomorrow.” Xu Zheng snorted.

He had a bad impression of those who treated people differently because of wealth and position. 

‘Too discriminatory and unfair, simply a corrupt establishment!’

“Uncle Xu. Aunt An. You don’t have to worry, they will definitely accept us.” Wang Haoran grinned.

Hearing this, Xu Muyan’s family was stunned for a moment, until they remembered what exactly Wang Haoran’s background was.

The Wang family in Qingling City were all influential people who were respected everywhere. Although Tianhui Clinic was a high-standard clinic, do they dare not give the Wang Family face?

Xu Muyan and Lawyer An, who were both worried about Xu Zheng’s safety, were naturally quite happy about this turn of events.

Even though Xu Zheng was not in a hurry, when he saw his wife and daughter so nervous about his health, he knew he couldn’t push it any further, lest they become unhappy.

Furthermore, he did not want to disappoint Wang Haoran’s kindness.

“Haoran, I’ll be troubling you.” Xu Zheng said gratefully.

“It’s just a small matter.” Wang Haoran smiled lightly and waved his hand.
