149: Chapter 147 Scared to Pee 149: Chapter 147 Scared to Pee “Hmph, what a joke,” Doctor Yang said.
“You think just by saying you’re up to the job, that makes it true?
Abilities aren’t proclaimed with words, and I just don’t trust you, what’s wrong with that?
Don’t try to press me with the principal’s name.
I was already mixing things up at the school when you were still in diapers.
Do you think you’re qualified to talk to me about seniority and lineage?”
Wearing a wry smile, Tangyu looked at Doctor Yang and said, “You just admitted that abilities aren’t proclaimed with words, so why are you so certain that I’m not up to the job?”
You—,” Doctor Yang choked with anger, finding himself momentarily lost for words.
Completely enraged, Doctor Yang rolled up his sleeves and glared at Tangyu with a look that meant business and said fiercely, “Alright, little Tang, it seems you’re bent on making trouble with me today, isn’t that so?
Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand just because of your connections and not take me into account?”
“Hmph, Doctor Yang, I wouldn’t dare assume responsibility for such a big accusation.
Where should I even begin?
It seems to me that it was you, Doctor Yang, who started questioning my ability to take the post from the moment you arrived.
How has it turned around now?
I’ve always respected you, Doctor Yang, but with all this thunder and downpour of scolding, I’m afraid it’s a bit too much for me.
Although I am new to this, I will certainly show the due respect, but I’m not a magnanimous person by nature, and I can’t stand the slightest bit of sand in my eyes.
Cold sneers and hot scorns are the least tolerable to me.
In light of this, Doctor Yang, I can only offer a helpless laugh,” Tangyu said.
Doctor Yang’s face turned green with fury.
If it weren’t for Wang Ba’s orders, he wouldn’t have wanted to nitpick and target Tangyu like finding fault in an egg.
Without a solid reason, indeed, it was hard to proceed.
Dealing with a generally honest person is one thing, but facing a strong-willed man like Tangyu, it’s an entirely different story.
Thus, the confrontation had left Doctor Yang almost unable to contain his anger.
“So, what you’re saying is you wouldn’t welcome me sitting in at the office on Monday?
Are you unhappy if I lock the door?” Doctor Yang asked, staring down Tangyu intently.
Tangyu shook his head and replied, “That’s not the case.
I don’t have the power to restrict your freedom, Doctor Yang.
Your feet are your own; you decide where you want to go.
If you wish to come and check on the school doctor’s office, I am, of course, very welcoming.
As for the door being locked, well, if Doctor Yang doesn’t mind the trouble, I really wouldn’t mind you taking the time to help with that.”
“Hmph, little Tang, don’t play dumb here.
You know exactly what I mean.
If you want to stay in the school doctor’s office, you can—as my assistant.
If not, you can get lost right now.
You can go and complain to the principal, or snitch on me,” Doctor Yang snorted coldly, evidently ready to take drastic measures.
If Tangyu really wanted to stir things up, then he was willing to let the Wang Family intervene, along with his own reputation at stake, he did not believe he couldn’t deal with the newcomer Tangyu.
With that, Doctor Yang had placed all his chips on the table.
He had not intended for things to escalate this far, but as the situation pushed him, he was left with no alternative.
Tangyu observed Doctor Yang.
Naturally, he was well aware that even if he wanted to escalate the matter, even if the Lin Family was willing to intervene, the eventual outcome would be unpleasant for both sides.
After all, behind the scenes, the Wang Family was pulling the strings.
Moreover, it was Wang Ba, the young master of the Wang Family, with whom he stood no chance of attaining any significant position within the Lin Family.
If things really got out of hand, he was bound to be the one at a disadvantage.
After all, Doctor Yang also had his own justifications; coming to check on the office for not feeling assured of Tangyu managing alone—these reasons were acceptable.
Especially since Doctor Yang had served over ten years at the school infirmary, his experience and credibility were far beyond what Tangyu could compare with.
Therefore, even if he took the matter to the principal, Tangyu had no advantage or capital to speak of.
Of course, over such a trivial matter, Tangyu wouldn’t bother others or seek the principal’s intervention; that was just not his style.
Tangyu had always disliked asking others for help.
Doctor Yang settled into his office chair, eyeing Tangyu as if he had him figured out.
Tangyu was well aware that if he showed weakness now, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the school doctor’s office much longer.
Besides, serving under someone else, that was something Tangyu held in disdain.
In this world, aside from his master, the Ghost Doctor, no one could dictate to Tangyu.
It was a line that Tangyu did not permit others to cross.
To resolve this matter, he had to take action against Doctor Yang himself.
Since he had been pushed to this point, he had no choice but to play hardball.
If he didn’t deal with Doctor Yang completely, he feared similar troubles would arise in the future.
Tangyu disliked trouble and preferred to deal with it all at once,to prevent future problems.
The corners of Tangyu’s mouth curled into a strange smile as he approached Doctor Yang.
Doctor Yang glared back, his face bearing a trace of smugness.
Doctor Yang’s pupils suddenly tightened because he saw Tangyu’s hand lash out toward him.
Shocked, he wondered if Tangyu, in his frustration, would dare to lay a hand on him.
Hmph, if that were the case, he would have a solid reason to have him expelled from Linshan Middle School immediately.
If he achieved such a feat, the Wang Family would surely be pleased.
With this thought, rather than feeling any fear, Doctor Yang became somewhat excited.
Tangyu’s hand moved with lightning speed toward Doctor Yang’s head, grabbing it firmly and slamming it onto the office desk.
Doctor Yang, who had braced himself for a confrontation with Tangyu, was caught off guard by the ferocity of the attack as his head was smashed onto the desk with a ‘bang,’ akin to a watermelon being smashed to the ground.
Struck by this sudden blow, Doctor Yang was immediately dazed, his head swelling and feeling as if it would split apart.
Before he could even pull himself together, a cold gleam flashed across his eyes, and at first glance, it appeared to be a Steel Fork plunging viciously towards his head.
With the flicker of cold light, Doctor Yang instantly felt death closing in, an overwhelming fear surging from the depths of his heart.
It was the first time he had felt the steps of death so close, as if his life was already slipping away.
In Doctor Yang’s eyes, filled with unspeakable terror, there was also a profound sense of regret.
His guts turned green with remorse, regretting that he had agreed to Wang Ba’s request to provoke Tangyu.
He hadn’t anticipated Tangyu to be so ruthless, to strike with lethal intent—was he really out to kill him on the spot?
No, he did not want to die.
But the gleam of the fork came closer and closer, and he could even smell a breath of icy, chilling murderous intent, making his entire body go cold, and suddenly, a stream of hot liquid sprayed out.
“Clang!”
The Steel Fork in Tangyu’s hands struck the table, narrowly missing Doctor Yang’s eyes by just a centimeter or two.
Any slight deviation and Doctor Yang’s eyes would have been lost.
Seeing the cold gleam of the Steel Fork that had almost reached his eyeballs, Doctor Yang completely relaxed, thankful that Tangyu wasn’t heartless enough to actually kill him.
However, the scene that had just unfolded was terrifying.
At this moment, Doctor Yang had lost all of his previous arrogance, not even caring about the utter humiliation of having soiled himself out of fear, realizing that preserving his life was what mattered most.
In his heart, he was thoroughly intimidated by Tangyu, knowing that this man was not someone he could afford to provoke.
From Tangyu’s decisive actions, it seemed clear that if pushed too far, he could be capable of anything.
Compared to wealth and career prospects, life was of the utmost importance.
“Please, please, please, no, no, no, Brother Tang, I admit defeat, I admit defeat.
I won’t dare to provoke you again, please let me go, pretend nothing happened just now, I apologize, I’m just a despicable coward,” Doctor Yang begged desperately.
Doctor Yang’s pleas revealed a disdainful sneer in Tangyu’s eyes—such a person wouldn’t see the light until he faced his coffin, a typical bully who was afraid of the firm.
“Hmph, I work as a doctor at Linshan Middle School simply because it’s a personal interest of mine; I’m not after anything, nor am I competing for anything.
Had you not bothered me, I would have respected you all the same.
Such low-level tricks are beneath me.
I know you’ve been working for Wang Ba, and I will give you a minor punishment this time.
If you bother me again, I won’t be so lenient.
If you think you can pressure me with your connections, I’ll play along—if you piss me off, don’t blame me for not being polite.
Next time I drop my Steel Fork, it won’t be towards the table.
If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, bring them on, I’d like to see what else you can come up with,” Tangyu said coldly.
Although he knew this confrontation might have terrified Doctor Yang half to death, and that he would probably not dare to provoke him again, Tangyu felt it was necessary to give him another warning.
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare.
Brother Yu, I was just following orders, I would never dare to gamble with my life.
This was all orchestrated by Wang Ba; he paid me money and made a promise.
Blinded by greed, it was all my fault.
I deserve to die and I swear I won’t dare again.
You are magnanimous; please let me go,” Doctor Yang quickly affirmed, shaking his head.
Such a person could really play to the gallery, which Tangyu found contemptible.
Seeing Doctor Yang utterly subdued, Tangyu curled his lip, his goal achieved.
Such a coward, easily intimidated by a touch of force, would likely spend a lifetime walking with his head down on seeing him.
Dealing with such a person was truly too easy.
However, such a person could easily flip sides when the wind changed, so it was necessary to ring the warning bell when needed for a better effect.
As long as Doctor Yang was subdued and would not bother him again, Tangyu couldn’t be bothered with him any longer.
Tangyu loosened his grip and said, “Alright, I’ll take your word for now.
As for how you explain this to Wang Ba, I trust you’re no fool.
I have no interest in playing with that kid.
You can go now.”
Doctor Yang immediately got up, respectfully took out the office key, and handed it to Tangyu, bowing and scraping, “I understand, Brother Tang.”
Tangyu glanced at him and said, “I don’t need the key.”
“Yes, then I’ll be leaving first, Brother Tang.” Doctor Yang did not dare to speak more, hastily pocketed the key, and fled the medical office in a panic.
The moment he stepped out the door, his face turned an ashen blue, his crotch conspicuously stained.
If anyone had seen him like this, the embarrassment would have been beyond words.
After sending Doctor Yang away, Tangyu rubbed his nose and looked at the wet spot on the floor in front of his desk, his eyebrows slightly creasing, “Doctor Yang’s urine really stinks; seems like a serious inflammation, that.”
