From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 286 - 261: Troublemaker

The phone on the bedside began to ring. Zhao Feiyang lifted his head from the quilt, but a snow-white arm hooked around him, pulling him back. The phone kept ringing persistently. Zhao Feiyang had no choice but to throw off the quilt and pick up the phone. The arm remained entwined around his neck like ivy, or perhaps like a white snake coiling tightly around him.

Seeing the name displayed, Zhao Feiyang instantly calmed down. He roughly freed himself from the arm: "Tang Jingwei!"

He then sat up, took a breath, and answered the call, "President Tang, hello!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Tang Jingwei seldom called him, especially at such a time. Zhao Feiyang glanced at his watch and confirmed that it was already midnight. He realized something important must have happened.

Tang Jingwei's tone was as unhurried as ever: "Feiyang, am I disturbing your rest?"

Zhao Feiyang replied, "No, I wasn't sleeping yet."

He felt a hand teasing him under the covers, making Zhao Feiyang frown.

"Feiyang, something just happened. My son, you're familiar with Tianyi, right?"

"Yes, we've met." A feeling of foreboding enveloped Zhao Feiyang's heart.

"He might have had a misunderstanding with your hospital's Xiaoxu." Tang Jingwei didn't mention names, but his words were tactful enough.

But Zhao Feiyang felt as if his heart had dropped into an ice cave. He knew Xu Chunliang was currently studying at the Nanjiang Party School. But in such a big city as Nanjiang, how did he manage to run into Tang Tianyi? As if enemies are bound to meet on a narrow path.

"President Tang, I'll look into it immediately."

Tang Jingwei said, "That's what I think too. Some friction between young people is normal, but now that we're all one family, there's no need to be so harsh, is there?"

Zhao Feiyang had already realized the seriousness of the situation: "President Tang, how is Tianyi?"

Tang Jingwei sighed, "In the hospital." With that, he hung up the phone.

Zhao Feiyang felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. After putting down the phone, Pei Lin sat up beside him and hugged him gently, asking, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Feiyang couldn't contain his anger, "That Xu Chunliang, really causing trouble wherever he goes. He's supposed to be studying at the Dongzhou Party School, and he's managed to beat up Tang Tianyi again. Don't you think he's a bit dense?"

"Ah?" Pei Lin was also taken aback.

"Is it serious?" After asking, she realized the question was a bit redundant. If it wasn't serious, Tang Jingwei wouldn't have personally called Zhao Feiyang. It felt a bit like calling the parents. Tang Jingwei called Zhao Feiyang because he considered Xu Chunliang to be his person.

Zhao Feiyang sat there, staring at the phone in silence for a while.

Pei Lin suggested, "Why not contact Secretary Gao to understand the situation first."

Zhao Feiyang nodded.

Before the incident happened, Xu Chunliang had already predicted that it would stir up waves in Changxing, but he didn't expect the matter would lead to sleepless nights for two major leaders in Changxing.

Gao Xinhua didn't sleep well all night. He wanted to understand the situation, but when he received the call, it was already early morning. After some thought, since it had already happened, he decided it was better to wait until the next day.

It was Saturday, and Gao Xinhua didn't have to work at the hospital. His wife, Xiao Chuhong, woke up early to get him his favorite Old Wang's hot porridge and fried dough sticks.

But Gao Xinhua didn't have much appetite. He contemplated all night yet didn't call Xu Chunliang. Instead, he decided to ask his old comrade Zhan Aihua to help clear things up first.

Zhan Aihua quickly got back to him. He learned from a police friend that Tang Tianyi, along with a friend, had a conflict with a female driver while driving. They stopped the woman's car and harassed her.

Xu Chunliang and a friend happened to drive by. The police currently state that they acted as Good Samaritans, with Xu Chunliang protecting the female driver. As for whether Xu Chunliang was the one who injured Tang Tianyi, it hasn't been concluded since several people were involved in the assault.

Hearing this result, Gao Xinhua felt much more at ease. Xu Chunliang was being public-spirited, and since even the police said so, there shouldn't be much deviation.

However, Gao Xinhua also knew that there was a grudge between Tang Tianyi and Xu Chunliang. The timing of the incident seemed too coincidental. How could Tang Tianyi cause trouble in such a large area as Nanjiang only to be run into?

Gao Xinhua asked Zhan Xinhua to follow up on the case. After hanging up the phone, he saw his wife looking at him.

Gao Xinhua chuckled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Chuhong replied, "You truly treat Xiaoxu like a son."

Gao Xinhua laughed heartily, "What? Are you jealous?"

Xiao Chuhong said, "Not really. It just seems like you worry more about him than our daughter."

"Our daughter doesn't let me manage her affairs."

"That's because she doesn't want you to worry."

Gao Xinhua nodded and said, "Yes, you're right!" However, in his heart, he felt somewhat disagreeable. Since his daughter went to college, she rarely took the initiative to contact him. This sense of alienation was not an illusion. Sometimes, he even had a strange feeling that his daughter was no longer part of his world.

Xiao Chuhong said, "Old Gao, you're not still trying to force the two of them together, are you?"

Gao Xinhua shook his head and said, "Xiaoxu has someone, you've met her, that Mei Ru Xue."

Xiao Chuhong said, "Speaking of which, that Mei Ru Xue is really beautiful. She's become the mayor of Hu Shan Town at such a young age, so her family background must be quite good. Hey, what do you think she's thinking? With such good conditions, why choose Xiaoxu?"

Gao Xinhua didn't like what he was hearing and put down the bowl in his hand: "What's wrong with Xiaoxu? I think he's great. Other than being a bit lacking in educational background, he's strong in every other aspect."

Xiao Chuhong laughed, "All right, all right, I can't say anything about him. If I didn't know better, I'd really think he's your secret child from an affair."

Gao Xinhua said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

Xiao Chuhong said, "Speaking of which, our Xiaobai isn't young anymore and still hasn't found a partner, only knows how to study, and doesn't know how to dress up. In a few years, all the excellent young men will be picked by her peers. You know so many people, can't you help us find a talented young man?"

Gao Xinhua said, "I don't have any talented young people around me."

Xiao Chuhong said, "What about Zhan Aihua's son?"

Gao Xinhua said, "Don't know him."

Xiao Chuhong said, "Old Zhan has always wanted your daughter to be his daughter-in-law. Their family conditions aren't bad either. Old Zhan is worth over a hundred million, right? His son is still a master's graduate from overseas, young and promising."

Gao Xinhua chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Gao Xinhua said, "He's just a 'water master.' That kid didn't study well when he was young. If he really has the ability, he should start his own business."

Xiao Chuhong said, "I can see it now, in your eyes, there's only Xu Chunliang."

Xu Chunliang was off today, and when he woke up in the morning, many people called him, one of whom was Gao Xinhua. Xu Chunliang guessed that the matter had already reached Changxing, and it was most likely that the Huayuan Group was putting pressure on Changxing.

He answered the call and greeted him as Uncle Gao.

Gao Xinhua said, "Kid, are you still planning to work in Changxing?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, "Your news is really well-informed. Why? Did Zhao Feiyang tell you to come and lecture me?"

Gao Xinhua said, "I don't care what happened, nor do I ask who's right or wrong. Xu Chunliang, let me just ask you, did you think about the consequences before you hit someone?"

Xu Chunliang said, "I thought about it, but I couldn't just watch him bully a weak woman in the street, could I?"

Gao Xinhua said, "Don't try to spin it with me, don't you know the relationship between Changxing and the Huayuan Group? By doing this, how should Dean Zhao face President Tang of the Huayuan Group?"

Xu Chunliang said, "He can face it however he wants. We can't bow down to capital, can we? Uncle Gao, I can assure you, Tang Tianyi deserved it, and it wasn't just me who wanted to hit him. The police even said I acted bravely for a just cause."

Gao Xinhua said, "There are police to deal with Tang Tianyi's misdeeds. You're not law enforcement. Can you dare to tell me without reservation that there was no personal vendetta involved?"

Xu Chunliang laughed, "You really understand me. I showed restraint this time. If it weren't for you and Dean Zhao, I would've at least left him in the hospital for half a year."

Gao Xinhua was simply speechless, and said earnestly, "Chunliang, Dean Zhao has endured a lot of pressure because of this. If the Huayuan side is determined to deal with you, he won't be able to protect you."

Xu Chunliang said, "Uncle Gao, please tell Dean Zhao, I will take responsibility for my own actions and will not involve our hospital, nor will I involve Dean Zhao."

Gao Xinhua sighed. The matter had already happened, and it was too late to say anything. He inquired about Xu Chunliang's recent studies. In his view, Xu Chunliang should consider leaving Changxing now.

After this incident, even if Zhao Feiyang reluctantly kept him in Changxing, he wouldn't dare to rely on him in the future. Although Zhao Feiyang appreciated Xu Chunliang, he couldn't possibly alienate the Huayuan Group for his sake.

Actually, Changxing's future was uncertain, and Xu Chunliang had other places he could go. Rather than staying here to be suppressed and excluded, he might as well seek a better opportunity elsewhere.

This time, Gao Xinhua wasn't too worried, probably because Xu Chunliang had been involved in numerous incidents before, and each time he managed to turn calamities into blessings and came through safely. During the incident with Enheng Pharmaceutical's president Sheng Chaohui, he also managed to resolve it. This kid always had someone influential supporting him. Gao Xinhua reported what he learned to Zhao Feiyang, who, after listening, just said plainly, "I know."

Zhao Feiyang was currently at the High-Tech Zone construction site. With the gradual implementation of Huayuan Group's investments, materials for the joint-stock hospital were also beginning to arrive. Although Vice President Yuan Peiqiang was in charge here, Zhao Feiyang had to personally oversee everything to feel at ease.

In his career, Zhao Feiyang was known for his dedication.

Yuan Peiqiang only came over after hearing that Zhao Feiyang was personally present at the site. He accompanied Zhao Feiyang for a walk around the construction site.

Zhao Feiyang had practically become a semi-expert in construction at this point. The questions he posed were all very sharp, causing the site supervisor to sweat nervously.
