Confrontation, the Frenzied Arena of Carnage Tough to Handle Then Don't Bother

What is this?

Blacklist?

What blacklist?

A giant question mark appeared over Xia Tongxin's head. She blinked uncertainly, looking at the prompt on Ye Cheng's phone. Hmm... she clicked confirm, and then scanned it again.

"Beep."

"Add failed. The user has been added to your blacklist!"

Xia Tongxin: "???"

Okay, she understood now. It wasn't an illusion just now.

Yeah, that's right. Xia Tongxin's reaction just now was because she thought there was something wrong with Green Bubble. After all, it was their first time adding each other on Green Bubble, so how could she be blocked?

Xia Tongxin's little brows knitted together. She clicked confirm once more, then pulled up Ye Cheng's friend QR code. They switched roles, and this time Xia Tongxin scanned his code.

"Beep!"

"Add failed. You have been blocked by the user!"

"Beep!"

"Add failed. You have been..."

"Beep... beep, beep..."

"Add failed. You..."

Little Maid: "..."

"Uh... Miss, it seems you've been blocked." Hearing the continuous beeping beside her, the little maid couldn't help but look over, only to see her young miss clutching the phone, fighting a battle of wits and stubbornly wrestling with the friend-adding interface.

It almost exhausted the little maid just watching her.

Just a moment ago, they were discussing how sending continuous messages was impolite and simp behavior... but turning around, hey, guess what?

The young miss had turned into a simp too...

If you can't fit into a circle, don't force it, Miss...

Finally, the incessant beeping stopped. Xia Tongxin tossed her phone aside and started checking Ye Cheng's Green Bubble—more accurately, she clicked to look at Ye Cheng's profile picture.

When the image of Grandpa Bull holding a sniper rifle and a bottle of iced black tea popped up, Xia Tongxin suddenly felt relieved. Her already smooth, silly brain had its very last wrinkle ironed out.

Oh... so that's how it is.

She knew it, how could the friend request keep failing?

It had always been her blocking others; since when did she get blocked by someone else?

There seemed to be only one person who had ever blocked her, right?

So... this big stupid pig, this demon who bumped into her at the arcade... is Grandpa Bull?

Xia Tongxin: "..."

She knew it... those things in anime were true. Such coincidences actually existed in the world. If she left now, a bad woman would probably pop up immediately to steal her credit!

If she hadn't stayed here guarding him, she wouldn't have known that this guy was Grandpa Bull... everything was such a coincidence, everything was destined!

She knew it!

So that's it, this is how it should be!

Xia Tongxin's eyes inexplicably lit up, as if she had suddenly become enlightened.

"Miss? Miss, are you okay? Miss..." The little maid's very worried voice came from the side. Her perfectly fine young miss had suddenly gone silent, looking as if she had turned stupid. It was hard not to worry if something was wrong.

She wasn't leaving!

She was going to study here!

Xia Tongxin's eyes were firm, as if she had made some kind of resolution. And then... her eyes turned red, and tears pattered down her delicate face like pearls from a broken string. A little snot hung from her face, wobbling, making her look incredibly pitiful.

"He, he won't be in trouble, right? Boohoo..." Xia Tongxin gripped the little maid tightly with her small hands.

Little Maid: "???"

Wait, Miss, isn't your reflex arc way too long?

You're only crying now?

No, wait, why are you crying at all!

Several large question marks appeared over the little maid's head. She couldn't understand why her young miss had suddenly started crying out of nowhere. Previously, the most she showed was just worry, and just a moment ago she was happily planning her moral kidnapping scheme.

Muttering things about saviors and whatnot, she hadn't shown the slightest hint of sadness. She was completely filled with the excitement of having done a good deed and craving reward and recognition.

What was the point of crying now?

Although she didn't know what was wrong with her young miss this time, the little maid reacted quickly, hurriedly hugging Xia Tongxin to comfort her.

"It's okay, Miss. Didn't the doctor just say it's only severe blood loss? He'll be fine..."

"Boohoo, waaaaah... What if he kicks the bucket? Boohoo..." Xia Tongxin wailed at the top of her lungs. Her little tongue could vaguely be seen shaking like a rattle drum, making one inexplicably want to pinch her cheeks.

Little Maid: "..."

Uh... probably not?

Setting everything else aside, Ye Cheng's physical fitness was something the little maid had never seen in her life. It was like a movie—covered in blood, he could still stand and walk into the hospital while carrying someone in his arms. What did you think this was, a movie shoot?

It was an ridiculously exaggerated physical condition, and his psychological fortitude wasn't something a normal person possessed either. In short, he was incredibly badass. Although she didn't understand medicine, from a bystander's perspective...

Ye Cheng was extremely badass. He just didn't give off the vibe of someone who would easily succumb to a major crisis.

Amidst the long and agonizing wait, the red warning light hanging outside the operating room finally turned green, meaning the surgery was over!

"Boohoo..." Xia Tongxin was still crying, her eyes slightly swollen. The little maid stayed by her side, continuously wiping her snot and tears while silently praying in her heart.

Big sister, save me!

The more she took care of Xia Tongxin alone, the more she could appreciate the terrifying capability of the head maid... She was practically a superhero!

Seeing the color change of the light outside the operating room, the little maid felt a surge of joy: "Miss, the light changed. The surgery is done. Young Master Ye is fine!"

"Boohoo... Huh?" Xia Tongxin sharply sniffled her little snot back up. Her pink head perked up, her clear light blue eyes filled with confusion.

Tap, tap, tap. The sound of footsteps came from inside the operating room, followed by a click.

The operating room door opened, and a doctor walked out, profusely sweating. "Miss, the surgery was very successful, but..."

The doctor paused here, seemingly hesitant about something and afraid to continue. Xia Tongxin was only focused on the first part and didn't hear the rest at all; she only heard that Ye Cheng's surgery was successful.

Actually, a surgery of this level was incredibly simple for these doctors. After all, the facilities in the hospital under Xia Tongxin's name were too good—all top-tier equipment—so performing the surgery naturally yielded twice the result with half the effort.

But he was still sweating this much entirely due to immense psychological pressure. This person seemed to be very important, otherwise they wouldn't have been urgently summoned here.

They were offered a price they simply couldn't refuse. They had always heard that the boss behind this hospital was wealthy and generous, but they never expected them to be wealthy and generous to this extent.

Just this single surgery today earned their entire team more than half a year's income... It was terrifying!

Originally, there were other surgeries scheduled for today, but upon receiving the call, they rushed over immediately. Only an idiot would say no to money, especially with such a domineering display of wealth. There was absolutely no reason to refuse; hesitating for even a second would be a disrespect to all the medical knowledge they had acquired over the years.

Instantly, their medical ethics soared, and their eyes were filled with nothing but the desire to save a life!

As long as the money was right, they could pull you back even if you had already taken your last breath... You bastards, do not underestimate our bonds!

They were fired up. Although they didn't know why a surgery of this level had to be so intense, it was right to be fired up. The surgery fees were burning!

"Where is he? Where is he? Hurry up, hurry up!" Xia Tongxin wiped her tears and snot, excitedly urging them on.

The doctors were left speechless.

A few minutes later.

In the Supreme VIP Ward.

Ye Cheng lay on the hospital bed, wrapped entirely like a mummy, with only his eyes exposed. Xia Tongxin was shedding tears on the side, pitifully leaning against the bed and staring at Ye Cheng.

Beep, beep, beep... The heart rate monitor next to them beeped steadily, emitting crisp electronic sounds.

"Wuwuwu, Grandpa Cow, you must be okay, wuwuwu... sniff, sniff..." Even though Xia Tongxin knew Ye Cheng's real name, she still habitually called him Grandpa Cow out of habit.

Speaking of which, she had never really used Ye Cheng's name. It was always Big Jerk, Big Stupid Pig, Idiot, Demon... She had hardly ever called him properly.

Whatever, it didn't matter. It was all the same.

"Wuwuwu, Grandpa Cow..." Xia Tongxin lay over Ye Cheng's body, rubbing all her snot and tears onto him.

The scene was somewhat comical, especially with her calling him Grandpa Cow over and over. There wasn't much of a sorrowful atmosphere; instead, it was a bit funny. Sometimes Xia Tongxin was a bit silly and cute. She looked completely harmless, yet she wanted to act like a tough gangster. The image was simply too jarring.

Outside the ward.

The little maid and the doctor were whispering in the hallway, deliberately keeping their voices low so as not to be heard, obviously guarding against Xia Tongxin.

"The patient is indeed out of life-threatening danger for now, but... it's hard to say about the future," the doctor said, frowning deeply.

"What do you mean?" the little maid asked.

"I mean there is a problem with the patient's body. It's very strange, though. Logically speaking, if it really is..."

Ring, ring, ring...

Before the doctor could finish, the little maid's phone rang. "Sorry, I need to take this. Can we talk about this in a bit?"

"Yes, it's fine. I'll just wait a moment... Conveniently, the report has just been printed out. You'll understand once I show it to you, sigh..." The doctor was very patient, but sighed at the end, seeming somewhat regretful.

The little maid nodded, stepped aside, and answered the phone.

"It's me, I'm almost there. How is the young lady doing? And that guy... the injured guy the young lady took away, how is he? Is he okay now?"

The Head Maid's slightly anxious voice came through the phone.

"Sister!" Hearing the Head Maid's voice, the little maid bounced excitedly twice, and then briefly explained the situation on their end.

Hearing that Ye Cheng's surgery was over and he was no longer in mortal danger, the Head Maid breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the little maid add on the other end.

"Sister, the doctor said he's only fine for now, and that Young Master Ye seems to have some problem with his body..."

"A problem? What kind of problem?" the Head Maid asked in confusion.

"I don't know yet. The doctor just went downstairs to get something. Sister, please come over quickly, wuwuwu, I can't handle this anymore, wuwuwu..." The little maid's voice was pitiful, as if she was out of ideas.

The Head Maid was speechless.

"Alright, I got it. Keep an eye on the young lady. I'll be right there, within five minutes!"

The two hung up the phone.

Inside the car.

The Head Maid rubbed her temples with a bit of a headache. She thought everything was fine and the weight had been lifted off her chest, but it turned out he was only fine for now, which meant there would be issues later?

Did he have some lingering aftereffects or...

As she pondered, the car's speed gradually slowed down and stopped on the side of the hospital road. It could not move forward anymore because the front was already packed with parked cars.

A large number of vehicles, big and small, were parked outside the hospital, and a large crowd of people stood outside. Among them, the figures of Shen Qinghan and Dongfang Zhixia could be seen...

"Stop the car, I'll get off right here!" the Head Maid ordered.

Click!

The car door opened, and the Head Maid stepped out, taking out her phone to contact the Xia family's people.

In less than a minute's walk, more and more people gathered behind the Head Maid. They were entirely the Xia family's bodyguards and maids. The Head Maid, acting like the big boss, walked at the very front. For a moment, her aura completely overwhelmed Shen Qinghan and Dongfang Zhixia, who were standing at the very front of the hospital entrance.

Dongfang Zhixia seemed to be arguing with Shen Qinghan about something. Seeing the Head Maid approaching with a massive crowd, her voice stopped, and both of their gazes turned toward her.

They fixated solely on the Head Maid.

"Let me in," Shen Qinghan reacted first, stepping forward and speaking in a cold voice.

The Head Maid shook her head and bowed politely. "I apologize, everyone. Our young lady has some family matters to attend to. The hospital is not open to the public today. Please understand."

After saying that, the Head Maid clicked away in her black maid high heels, walking straight into the hospital. The bodyguards who were originally blocking the entrance saw the Head Maid approaching and automatically parted to make way.

"Stop right there! You think you can just snatch someone and leave!" Dongfang Zhixia's furious voice came from behind. The Head Maid did not stop walking and left without looking back, quickly disappearing into the hospital lobby.

Dongfang Zhixia was so angry she was practically fuming. Shen Qinghan, however, remained very calm. She quietly walked to the side, picked up her phone, and started calling for backup.

Beep, beep, beep...

"Young Master, what do you need?" a respectful operator's voice came from the other end.

"I've run into a situation. Send people over, within ten minutes. Location: Da Hai City... Don't bring things you shouldn't bring," Shen Qinghan said in an icy tone, completely devoid of emotion, yet the specialized operator on the other end could tell their young master was very angry.

"Understood, Young Master. They will definitely be there within ten minutes!"

Don't bring things you shouldn't bring meant other things were allowed, right?

Back to their old tricks!

Being unreasonable?

Great, they loved being unreasonable!
