Chapter 5: Hired Hooligans

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the entrance of the hospital, the crowd gradually dispersed. Zhang San carried his Blacktooth Hound into the hospital.

Zhang San followed Li Yi to the treatment room and placed the dog onto the bed.

Li Yi sat at the table and wrote out a prescription before handing it over.

“Go and get this medicine according to the prescription.”

Zhang San took the prescription gratefully and nodded repeatedly. “I’ll go get the medicine now. Wait for me…”

He quickly went to the medicine rack and grabbed the bottles of medicine one by one, according to the prescription.

However, he hesitated for a moment, his brows were tightly knitted together.

None of the medicines on this prescription were cheap. Any one of the herbs would really make a dent in his wallet.

However, he could only bite the bullet and continue to fill the prescription.

After grabbing the herbs, he returned to the treatment room and handed them all to Li Yi.

After Li Yi took the herbs, he went to the stove in the corner of the room and placed a pot on it.

Then, he began to brew the herbs.

In a short while, the smell of herbs filled the entire room.

When the Blacktooth Hound smelled the fragrance, its eyes slowly widened.

Li Yi stood up and looked at Zhang San.

“I’m brewing the regeneration liquid. It’ll cost you about 70,000 yuan. I’ll take the money now, if you don’t mind.”

Zhang San looked troubled. Being a hooligan, he did not have much money to begin with. Once the 70,000 yuan was paid, he would be completely out of money.

However, in order to save his dog, he had to bite the bullet and pay the bill.

After paying the bill, Li Yi poured out the regeneration liquid. It was only a small cup, but it was very effective.

He took the regeneration liquid and poured it into the Blacktooth Hound’s mouth.

After drinking the regeneration liquid, the dog gradually began to regain its vitality. Its eyes widened, and its limbs regained their strength.

It could even stand up slowly.

Seeing his dog recovering, Zhang San was so excited that he was about to cry. He almost thought that dog was actually about to die!

“Dr. Li, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help, my Blacktooth Hound would have died!”

“In order to repay your kindness, I’ve decided to give you all of my wealth!”

As he said this, he opened his left pocket, but there was nothing in it. He then opened his right pocket, but there was nothing in there either.

Zhang San was stunned. He said awkwardly, “Damn, I only have 70,000 yuan left on me…”

In order to cure the dog, he had spent all his savings. Now he did not even have a single cent, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He did not know what he was going to have for dinner that night…

Li Yi waved his hand and said disapprovingly, “There’s no need for that. Money is earned slowly. I don’t need a ton of it because I don’t overeat like you appear to, fatty. And besides, it’s not like you can cure beasts on your own.”

Zhang San smiled awkwardly. He then checked his beloved dog’s condition.

At that moment, Li Yi saw a green entry hovering over the Blacktooth Hound’s head.

Green represented a buff status. This extraction was also very useful!

The green buff status above the dog’s head read [ Recovery ] .

That should be what happens after drinking the regeneration liquid. After obtaining this status, the road ahead for treating the dog looked very easy.

Li Yi reached out to stroke the Blacktooth Hound’s head and immediately took the [ Recovery ] state.

Since the dog had almost fully recovered, Li Yi figured it would be alright to remove the [ Recovery ] state.

The Blacktooth Hound, now fully recovered, returned to Zhang San’s side.

At the same time, it looked at Li Yi with fear and respect in its eyes. It was completely different from the arrogant rage from just a few moments ago.

The Blacktooth Hound had some brains. It knew that Li Yi made it weak, so it would not dare to provoke Li Yi again.

Zhang San hugged the Blacktooth Hound and thanked Li Yi again, “Thank you so much. I will never be a hooligan ever again, nor will I ever trouble you again!”

Li Yi crossed his arms and could not help but sigh. “You may leave me alone from here on out, but there are other hooligans out there who will harass me. After all, Jianghai isn’t the only unethical hospital out there that wants me gone.”

These past few days alone, Li Yi had already dealt with quite a few hooligans who came to cause trouble. Just dealing with such matters made him physically and mentally exhausted.

If this continued, he would not be able to run his hospital anymore. He would be too busy dealing with troublemakers.

Moreover, dealing with these matters would also make customers not want to visit. As time passed, there would be no more business.

Zhang San listened to Li Yi’s words and thought for a while. “Dr. Li, how about this? I’ll be your bodyguard. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I’ll go up and give them a taste of my fists!”

Li Yi looked up and down his body. “You’re quite strong and are a good fighter. However, you won’t be able to do it alone. There are many hooligans out there. If you really do fight them, you’ll only get yourself beaten up.”

“And, when the time comes, if you fight at the entrance of my hospital, you will scare away the customers.”

Zhang San beat his chest and said proudly, “I have brothers. I’ll bring my brothers here to be your bodyguard, too. With us standing at the entrance, no hooligans will dare to continue harassing the hospital!”

“Good! Well, in that case, I’ll leave the security of the hospital in your hands!”

Li Yi was worried that he would not be able to deal with all those hooligans on his own, but with Zhang San he could fight fire with fire.

Zhang San said excitedly, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll go back and call my brothers over!”

With that, he left the hospital with his Blacktooth Hound.

That afternoon, Zhang San arrived at Li Yi’s hospital with five other hooligans.

“Dr. Li, I’m back!”

Li Yi walked out of his office and looked at the pack of hooligans led by Zhang San.

All six of them had a very uniform style. They were all wearing black vests and their bodies were ripped.

The most important thing was that they came with their beasts: all dogs!

So that’s why they all stayed in a pack…

“Very good, then I’ll have you stand guard at the front door as security. My business depends on you.”

Zhang San beat his chest, “Don’t worry, leave it to me! I won’t let you down!”

Then, he took his underlings and stood at the front door, acting as the security guards.

At that time, a street punk with blond hair walked over.

He was coming to the door with a red bucket of paint in his hands. He reached out and was about to throw the paint at the door.

When Zhang San saw this, he shouted angrily, “What the hell are you doing here!”

The blond guy stopped in his tracks and asked, “Third Brother, what are you doing here?”

Zhang San said arrogantly, “This turf is now under my protection. Go back to where you came from!”

The blond guy was shrunk back in terror. He was completely outnumbered, so he could only run away.

Following that, Zhang San and his gang chased away a few other guys who wanted to cause trouble.

Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He could finally enjoy a moment of peace and quiet…

Now, he could return to business as usual. While treating people’s pet beasts, he could rely on his system to continuously collect statuses!
