The man grunted, "Which little punk blindsided me?"
Yunyi, hearing herself called a "punk," gave him another whack on the back with the stick. "How dare you come to my territory and spew nonsense? You really need to be taught a lesson."
The first blow with the stick was only meant to stop him, but the second was enough to make him suffer. His internal injuries wouldn’t be light. Still, Yunyi was averse to trouble. She had controlled her strength perfectly, ensuring he wouldn’t cough up blood on the spot and ruin her image.
Just then, the people chasing from behind caught up and quickly subdued the man. "Comrade, you’re quite bold."
Yunyi raised the stick in her hand. "I had no choice. I had to defend myself and ensure the safety of the patients being treated here."
Soon, the other intruder was also subdued, and both were swiftly taken away. The man walking last presented his identification to Yunyi. "We’ve taken them away. We’ll need you to cooperate with our personnel tomorrow to give a statement."
Yunyi nodded. "Of course."
Once those people had left, the doors to the two central patient rooms opened. "Doctor Chu, that was terrifying! What just happened?"
Yunyi didn’t elaborate. "The public security officers were handling a case just now. It’s all over. Everyone should get some rest."
She said that, but she knew very well that if the public security officers hadn’t pursued them, those men wouldn’t have spared anyone in the clinic. Those people were probably frightened by the recent commotion. Seeing Yunyi was reluctant to say more, they all tactfully closed their doors and returned to their rooms.
Worried about Guo Anyi, Yunyi hurried to his patient room. She saw the small boy hidden under the blanket, shivering slightly, and her heart ached for him. She quickly approached. "Don’t be afraid. It’s me."
Hearing the beautiful doctor’s voice, Guo Anyi suddenly threw off the blanket and clung to Yunyi. "I’m scared!"
Yunyi already knew when they returned. It seemed her hunch was correct: those two men were after this child. Yunyi nodded at them and deliberately asked, "Is there something else you need?"
The public security officer looked at the child in her arms. "We will stand guard here tonight. You can both rest easy." He said this so the child would hear it and feel safe enough to sleep peacefully.
