Chapter 23: Ye Huan, the Veterinarian

All fifty thugs had been taken down by Ye Huan. Not one was left unscathed; they were suffering from broken arms, shattered legs, or bloodied, cracked skulls. Worse yet, they were all unconscious.

"You... you... who on earth are you?"

Jin Peng, the only one still conscious, ignored the agony of his broken arm and the pain radiating through his body. He stared in terror at Ye Huan, who stood there like a descending demon. He had been genuinely shaken by Ye Huan’s strength and brutality—he had never in his life seen anyone so powerful and ruthless.

"A successor to socialism!" Ye Huan replied casually.

Jin Peng was speechless.

Lin Xi, Su Lei, and the others nearly burst out laughing. Ye Huan’s ability to infuriate others was even higher than his combat power. If you’re looking for a master of irritation, the Lin family of Pengcheng has found their man in Ye Huan!

"I’m asking for your name!" Jin Peng roared.

"I didn't call for anyone!" Ye Huan retorted.

Jin Peng was speechless again.

Lin Xi and the others realized it: Ye Huan was determined to anger Jin Peng to death.

Ignoring Jin Peng further, Ye Huan walked over to Shen Huamei, who was still curled on the ground in spasms. He grabbed her wrist to check her pulse, preparing to help her up.

"Take your filthy hands off me!"

Stifling the spasms in her abdomen, Shen Huamei slapped his hand away. Ye Huan frowned; this girl really was ungrateful, mistaking kindness for malice.

At that moment, Lin Xi and the others ran over. They hadn't dared to approach while Shen Huamei was in the middle of the battlefield, but now that the enemies were all unconscious, they felt safe.

"Huamei, I’m taking you to the hospital!" Lin Xi said, helping her up.

"Mmh!" Shen Huamei groaned, her face pale and drenched in cold sweat as she endured the sharp pain in her lower abdomen.

"No need for a hospital. A few massages from me will do," Ye Huan said.

The group immediately shot him looks that clearly said, "What would a pig butcher know about massage?"

"You know medicine?" Lin Xi asked in surprise.

Before Ye Huan could answer, Shen Huamei said with disgust, "Take me to the hospital. I will never allow a pig butcher to touch my body."

Ye Huan nearly lost his temper and slapped her across the face. He said coldly, "Your abdomen has suffered heavy trauma. You need to clear the internal bleeding immediately, or it will affect your fertility. If you go to the hospital now, the doctors will only give you glucose and anti-inflammatories. By the time the pain subsides, it will be too late to clear the blood."

Ye Huan had put it mildly, but everyone present understood. Jin Peng had kicked Shen Huamei in the lower abdomen three times with full force—the implications for a woman were obvious. Shen Huamei understood this too. If she lost her ability to conceive simply because she despised Ye Huan, she would never be a mother, nor would she ever find a partner she liked. No man wanted to marry a woman who couldn't bear children.

"Then hurry up and do it!" Seeing Shen Huamei waver, Lin Xi realized Ye Huan’s words had frightened her and immediately urged him to proceed.

Su Lei chimed in with a snide remark: "Talking big, aren't you? Even if what you say is true, if you can't clear the bruising, won't you have caused her to miss the best window for treatment?"

*Smack!*

Ye Huan backhanded Su Lei across the face. "Why do you never learn your lesson?"

Su Lei flinched, retreating several steps, not daring to say another word. Inside, however, he was seething with rage, vowing to find a chance to avenge the humiliation and reclaim his lost dignity.

"Lay her flat!" Ye Huan said to Lin Xi and the other girl supporting Shen Huamei.

The two women carefully laid Shen Huamei on the floor. Ye Huan crouched down, placed his hands on her abdomen, and began to massage gently.

Shen Huamei’s body shuddered. She nearly kicked Ye Huan away; being massaged in such a place by this pig butcher in front of everyone was the greatest humiliation of her life.

But a moment later, she felt Ye Huan’s palms grow hot. A stream of warmth seeped through his hands into her abdomen, and a wave of comfort washed over her entire body. It felt so good that she couldn't help but moan out loud: "That feels so good!"

She blushed in shame the moment she realized what she had said.

Lin Xi and the others cast surprised glances at Ye Huan. It turned out this guy really did know how to massage, and his technique seemed quite sophisticated.

Before long, Shen Huamei felt that the pain in her abdomen was gone, and even the sting on her left cheek from being slapped had vanished. She was stunned by the effectiveness of his technique, the likes of which she had never seen before.

"Done!" Ye Huan stood up.

"Done?" Lin Xi blinked, looking at Shen Huamei nervously. "Huamei, are you really not in pain anymore?"

"It doesn't hurt!" Shen Huamei stood up on her own, moved her limbs, and confirmed she felt fine. She then glared at Ye Huan with disgust. "Don't think that because you helped me, I’ll be grateful. I still oppose you being with Lin Xi, and I still insist that you aren't good enough for her."

Ye Huan shrugged. He hadn't expected any gratitude. He had only helped her so that he and Lin Xi wouldn't ruin Shen Huamei’s birthday party, which would have created a rift between the two friends.

"Did you study massage specifically, or do you know medicine?" Lin Xi asked, looking at Ye Huan with newfound curiosity.

Su Lei and the others looked on, equally curious.

"I’m a pig butcher. I often treat sick boars, sows, and piglets. People call me the 'Miracle Doctor of Pipi Pig Farm'!" Ye Huan said casually, intentionally trying to annoy Shen Huamei.

As soon as he said it, the same word popped into everyone’s mind... Veterinarian!

Shen Huamei felt like dying. It was bad enough she’d been massaged by a pig butcher, but this butcher was also a vet—he had treated her like a pig!

"Get out! You are not welcome at my birthday party!" Shen Huamei roared once it sank in.

"Don't be angry, I’m leaving, I’m leaving. Getting angry leads to endocrine disorders, irregular cycles, and liver dysfunction, all of which will affect your fertility!" Ye Huan said, trying to soothe her.

That only made things worse.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

"You got it!" Ye Huan trotted over, hoisted the half-dead Jin Peng, and headed for the exit.

Just then, Xiang Yingxin stepped forward with an awkward, straddling gait and challenged Lin Xi: "Lin Xi, your husband is amazing. I’m going to see him often from now on, so I hope you won't stop me!"

The crowd was stunned. This girl had been thrashed by Ye Huan, yet her words sounded like she hadn't had enough and was now addicted.

"Ye Huan, how was Xiang Yingxin?" Lin Xi asked loudly, ignoring the woman herself.

"Very smooth!" Ye Huan shouted back from the bar entrance.

"I give you permission to go see her often, since it’s free anyway!" Lin Xi called out.

"No problem!" Ye Huan gave her an OK sign and carried Jin Peng out of the bar.
