1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

Chapter 347 Xu Damao's Accidental Success

On this seemingly ordinary but undercurrent-filled street, although Xu Damao has not yet come up with a brilliant plan for revenge, this does not affect his current intention to use some insidious means against Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu in order to disgust them.

Xu Damao was a vengeful person, and today's scene seemed to have found an outlet for his evil intentions.

When Qin Huairu heard Xu Damao's sarcastic words, her face turned pale instantly. A trace of barely perceptible panic flashed in her eyes, and her body subconsciously hid behind Yi Zhonghai.

The news of her pregnancy today already made her feel very upset, as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, and the appearance of Xu Damao undoubtedly set off huge waves.

This enemy was like a nightmare, always appearing when she was most vulnerable, making her already uneasy heart even more panicked.

Yi Zhonghai, a man who has always been quite prestigious in the hospital, also noticed Qin Huairu's fear at this moment.

He frowned slightly and took a step forward. His broad body was like a wall, blocking Xu Damao's uneasy sight.

He questioned Xu Damao in a bad tone: "Xu Damao, what do you want to say? Stop beating around the bush and making innuendos here."

There was a hint of majesty in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, trying to calm Xu Damao, but he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

Xu Damao disagreed. He raised his sparse eyebrows and smiled disdainfully: "Innuendo? Humph, I don't have the time for that. Yi Zhonghai, don't pretend to be ignorant. You know all the things you have done. Some people always like to pretend to be righteous and upright in front of others, but do they really think they can hide the things they do behind the scenes? You underestimate everyone's eyesight. Don't think that everyone is kept in the dark by you."

Xu Damao's eyes were like two sharp knives, staring at Yi Zhonghai closely, with the provocation in his eyes becoming stronger and stronger. Every word was like a stone, hitting Yi Zhonghai's heart hard, stirring up uneasy ripples beneath the calm surface.

Moreover, Xu Damao changed his usual way of addressing Yi Zhonghai and called him by his name directly, which made Yi Zhonghai instantly realize that Xu Damao came with bad intentions today and was probably well prepared.

Then, Xu Damao's mouth curled up even more, and he continued, "It's like some people who think they are extremely smart and have carefully designed a plan, and they think it's perfect. But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. After all, paper cannot cover fire."

His words were full of sarcasm, as if he was enjoying Yi Zhonghai's gradually gloomy expression.

Yi Zhonghai's face became increasingly ugly, like the dark clouded sky before a storm.

He knew clearly that Xu Damao's words had a hidden meaning, but he could not easily reveal his flaws. That was the bottom line for him to establish his authority in the hospital over the years.

He pretended to be calm and said in a low voice: "Xu Damao, if you are okay, don't make a fuss here. We still have to go home."

"Go home? Hum, you mean go back to your 'home'?"

As soon as Xu Damao said this, it was like a blockbuster bomb dropped into the crowd, instantly causing an uproar around them.

Passersby on the street looked sideways, with expressions of curiosity, surprise and suspicion mixed in their gazes.

In fact, Xu Damao did not know the true relationship between the two, but this did not prevent him from using this vague speculation to create public opinion and put Yi Zhonghai in an embarrassing situation.

He was like a cunning fox, spying in the dark and watching the panic of his prey.

Yi Zhonghai's body stiffened slightly. He tried hard to conceal the panic that flashed across his eyes, but it still didn't escape Xu Damao's eyes.

He quickly adjusted his state, lowered his voice, and said to Xu Damao with a hint of warning: "Xu Damao, if you say nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."

But once these words came out, it was clear that he no longer had the confidence he had at the beginning, like a bluffing paper tiger.

At this time, Qin Huairu was so scared that her face turned as pale as paper. She tightly grasped the corner of Yi Zhonghai's clothes with both hands, as if that was her last straw in this storm.

Her body was trembling slightly, like a leaf shivering in the cold wind.

All kinds of terrible scenes kept emerging in her mind. She was afraid that Xu Damao would make their conspiracy to extort money public, and she was even more afraid that the shameful and improper relationship between them would be exposed in broad daylight.

At this moment, she felt like she was on the edge of a dark abyss, and only she could deeply understand the fear and anxiety surging in her heart like a tide.

Xu Damao turned a deaf ear to Yi Zhonghai's threat. He sneered with contempt in his eyes: "You're welcome? Yi Zhonghai, you still want to show off in front of me? Don't dream. Do you think everyone is a fool? Those shameful things of yours will be known to others sooner or later. Aren't you afraid that one day your hypocritical mask will be completely torn off, and all your disguises will become bubbles. When that time comes, everyone will see your true face, and how can you survive in this hospital? Your so-called prestige will be gone."

As he spoke, he stared closely at Yi Zhonghai's expression, not missing any slightest change.

When he saw the flash of fear in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he felt secretly proud in his heart, like a villain whose conspiracy had succeeded.

He didn't expect that his seemingly baseless nonsense could make Yi Zhonghai so flustered, which made him even more excited.

He decided to add fuel to the fire to make Yi Zhonghai even more panicked.

"I've heard that some people, for a little bit of profit, would resort to all kinds of despicable means. They would even do something as immoral as a honey trap, which really hurts people a lot! People like this should be punished, don't you think, uncle?"

Xu Damao deliberately emphasized the three words "uncle", and his words were full of sarcasm and provocation.

Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao confronted each other like this, their eyes colliding like swords, creating fierce sparks. The air was filled with an atmosphere so tense that it was almost solidified, as if a devastating storm was about to come, making it hard to breathe.

Xu Damao did not expect that he just wanted to make things difficult for Yi Zhonghai, but unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be an unspeakable secret between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

His keen intuition was like that of a hound that had smelled its prey. Just as he was about to dig further, the second uncle came over humming a little tune through his bangs.

Liu Haizhong, who was always keen on showing his authority in the hospital, frowned immediately and showed dissatisfaction on his face when he saw Yi Zhonghai and Xu Damao were on the verge of a confrontation.

He asked loudly: "Lao Yi, Xu Damao, what are you two doing? You are making such a fuss in the street. What kind of talk is that? How disgraceful!"

Although the two men spoke quietly just now, it was clear from their postures that something was wrong.
