The entire room suddenly fell silent. The three men stared at Su Yanxi in disbelief. One of them let go of Deputy Director Chen’s collar and walked in front of her, glaring at her viciously, “Who do you think you are? Don’t think that just because you’re pretty and a lawyer, I won’t dare to hit you.”

Hearing his harsh tone, Su Yanxi smiled instead of getting angry. She met his eyes fearlessly, “You should have consulted a lawyer before you came today, right? The lawyer should have told you that once this case is court-martialed, there’s a 50% chance that you may lose. If you lose, not to mention compensation, you will suffer a double loss. Isn’t that right?”

“You…” The other man was furious. He rushed up to her but was stopped by another man who shook his head at him.

“The hospital did make a mistake. However, their mistake was they didn’t tell you the scenarios that could happen which could cause the patient’s life to be endangered after the surgery. Furthermore, before the surgery, they told you about the risks of the surgery, and you signed the papers. So, this case doesn’t constitute a medical malpractice. You…”

“According to you, my brother was killed by us? Does he deserve to die? What kind of lawyer are you?! Don’t you have any skills apart from spouting nonsense?” Before Su Yanxi could finish speaking, the man interrupted her angrily.

The moment he finished speaking, a white figure suddenly rushed over and a loud sound echoed in the long corridor. Before Su Yanxi could react from the burning slap, her hair was grabbed tightly. She bent down in pain and gasped.

“How dare you spout nonsense. My son was killed by this hospital. Return my son to me. Return my son to me.” The old woman tugged at her hair and shook it violently.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. They stared at the scene with their eyes wide open. Lu Jingyan, who was beside Su Yanxi, was the first to react. His expression was dark and his eyebrows were furrowed into a deep frown. His eyes were filled with bloodlust as he forcefully separated the woman’s hand from Su Yanxi’s hair and said in a threatening voice, “Let go.”

However, the woman was immersed in the pain of losing her son and had completely lost her rationality. She had no intention of letting go at all. Su Yanxi, whose hair was being pulled, could not help but moan softly as her hands reflexively covered her scalp.

“What are all of you standing there for? Come and help!” Lu Jingyan’s shout pulled everyone back to their senses and they quickly went forward to pull the old lady away.

The moment the old woman released her grip, strands of black hair swayed in the air, falling onto the white floor.

Su Yanxi’s body softened and Lu Jingyan caught her firmly. She fell into his arms. Lu Jingyan looked down and saw the tears in her eyes. He pursed his lips into a straight line and carried her to his office.

Su Yanxi was a little surprised by his actions. She allowed him to carry her as she stared at his tensed up face in a daze. It was only when they reached his office and he gently placed her on the flat bed that she gradually regained her senses.

“Does it benefit you to act tough? Aren’t you getting yourself beaten up?” Just as she calmed down, a male voice laced with strong blame and mockery floated over her head. “Su Yanxi, you’ve shown me something new again. I’ve just seen how brainless you are.”
