Peninsula: My pet is my idol

Tang Xin stayed behind alone to deal with the middle-aged man's family.

Tang Xin also learned the middle-aged man's identity from the other party's family.

Kim Chang-min, the director of the 18 film "The Witch".

Kim Chang-min, in his prime and a photographer by profession, took his autistic son out for a late-night snack today.

Autism is a condition that causes children to shout and scream from time to time, which angered the four guys sitting next to him, who wanted to shut the child up.

Kim Chang-min was nearly beaten to death by four men while trying to protect his son.

If Tang Xin hadn't intervened, the child would have watched helplessly as his father was beaten to death before his very eyes...

Director Jin's family thanked Tang Xin profusely and tried to kneel down, but Tang Xin insisted on helping them up.

Kim Chang-min's parents are both in their sixties or seventies, and their hair is all white. Should I accept their bow?

Tang Xin didn't want to shorten her lifespan.

He didn't want to leave his contact information, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave one anyway, so that Kim Chang-min wouldn't have to go through all the trouble of finding him after waking up.

The hospital and the police officers who came all left their contact information. It wouldn't make a difference to leave one more contact information for Kim Chang-min's family.

Doing good deeds anonymously... Tang Xin didn't consider herself to be that noble.

I chatted with the police officers at the scene for a few minutes and agreed not to pursue the matter, so they didn't even need to take a statement.

The situation in South Korea is different from that at Dongda University, so it can indeed be left unattended.

Tang Xin didn't take a taxi home by herself. Instead, a doctor at the hospital recognized Master He and, knowing that Tang Xin was his student, gave her a ride home.

As soon as he went upstairs and opened the door, the two little ones immediately pounced at his feet.

Tang Xin hadn't returned home yet, which worried the two little ones. But they had no way to contact her.

Animals have more sensitive noses, and the kitten Yuan and the pig Ying smelled the blood on Tang Xin the moment he opened the door.

When Tang Xin opened the door, he was bald and had gauze wrapped around his head.

The strong smell of blood on the down jacket almost made the two little ones not recognize it.

Tang Xin didn't play with the two little ones for long; she took a bath and went to bed quickly.

He was utterly exhausted.

I still need to go to the Chinese medicine shop to make ointment for Lim Yoon-ah after I wake up.

……

Jin Zhiyuan looked preoccupied, which caught Zhang Yuanying's eye.

The latter pulled the former into a corner of the waiting room and whispered:

"I already told you, he looked like he'd been in a fight outside, and he even went to the hospital for treatment. There's nothing wrong with him, so why are you so worried? Why are you so anxious all day?"

"But Yuanying, when he fell asleep, the wound on his head was still bleeding!" Jin Zhiyuan said, biting his lip.

Zhang Yuanying, however, disagreed: "The fact that he was able to go home by himself means he's not seriously injured."

"He's injured and needs someone to take care of him..."

"Take care of her? You go ahead and do it?"

"Yes, I want to go."

"Are you crazy? You're an idol, Jin Zhiyuan! You're not even an adult yet! You, a complete stranger, go to Tang Xin's house to take care of him?"

"What can we do? After all, he's supporting us... We can't just pretend we don't see it!"

Zhang Yuanying quickly corrected him, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean 'supporting us'? Did you and I willingly become cats and pigs? In the end, we only ate his food and looked at his computer. We didn't actually spend much of his money, okay? At worst, we can go to his place after the New Year and give him some money back..."

"Yuanying, no matter what we say, we..."

"I know, I know, I know... Always playing around with him at his house, it's inevitable that you'll find him wonderful in all sorts of ways. But..." Zhang Yuanying sighed, "Zhiyuan, can you distinguish between liking and dependence? Are you enjoying being a cat at his house, or are you enjoying the time spent with him? You need to be able to tell the difference!"

Jin Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Eh~ How could I possibly like him? I just felt sorry for him because he was injured, and I wanted to visit him and find out why."

Zhang Yuanying gave her a suspicious look: "You'd better be!"

"I'm sure!" Jin Zhiyuan said confidently.

Zhang Yuanying concluded by saying, "You are not allowed to go to him by yourself. Wait for me to go together."

……

The next day.

Tang Xin went to a traditional Chinese medicine shop to get Chinese herbs for Lin Yun'er and instructed the shop owner on how to make them into a topical ointment.

His injury wasn't that serious, but he still needed to rest for a few days.

Since both Kim Tae-yeon and Im Yoon-ah are quite busy with the New Year approaching, they can postpone their treatments.

While the apprentice was getting medicine at the traditional Chinese medicine shop, the master was beating people up in the old factory.

As a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, He Dan didn't have much influence in South Korea.

But... those rich people he serves do have them...

Among the clients were even former gang leaders who had laundered their money and returned to the law, suffering from health problems due to their past violent and bloody experiences.

Even if none of his clients are triad bosses, it would be easy for Ho Dan, with his social standing, to contact people in the underworld.

While telling law enforcement not to get involved, he contacted the gang leader to arrest everyone in the city.

Less than 24 hours later, the four people who had fled to Busan and Incheon were brought back to Seoul.

At the entrance of an abandoned factory.

Wearing a baseball jersey, jeans, and high-top Converse and Coca-Cola sneakers, traditional Chinese medicine practitioner He Dan walked into the factory gate.

Behind him followed a henchman arranged by the gang leader.

The four men who were captured were all tied to chairs. In front of each of them was a case of beer.

The beer was empty; there were only glass bottles.

After He Dan walked in, he didn't waste any words. He picked up a beer bottle from the plastic box and smashed it on the head of one of the men.

"Bang—"

The bottle shattered instantly, shards of glass littering the ground.

The four men had their mouths tied, preventing them from speaking. They were all making whimpering sounds like trapped animals, whether they were cursing or begging for mercy, it was unclear.

But whether he yells or begs for mercy, He Dan has no intention of stopping.

Beer bottles were being sold one after another.

"Bang—", "Bang—", "Bang—".

The crisp sound of the bottle shattering against the skull echoed through the abandoned factory.

When the fifth bottle was smashed, the first person passed out.

However, He Dan still had no intention of stopping; he knew how to judge a person's vitality by their aura.

He Dan didn't move on to the next person until an entire case of empty bottles had been smashed and the first person's head was visibly dented.

He didn't say a word, nor did he stop for a moment.

The underlings who followed He Dan in felt a pang of guilt after a while.

Holy crap... Boss, is this old man really a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? Are you really comfortable letting someone like him treat your injuries?

Several of them are brutal...

They wouldn't stop even after knocking someone unconscious...

It seems he literally smashed the first person to death with a beer bottle...

The first, the second, the third...

These four people are all young people, at most a few years older than Tang Xin.

He Dan looked at the other person, who was about the same age as his own apprentice, and showed no mercy.

Traditional Chinese medicine says that anger harms the body. But it also says that it's better to guide than to suppress.

These four people almost caused He Dan to bury his children... Before he was completely satisfied, even if they were on the verge of death, He Dan was able to save them.

Beat them half to death, then save them, then beat them half to death again...

By the time it was the fourth person's turn, he was so scared he wet himself.

He was trembling all over, his face was flushed, and tears were streaming down his face.

He Dan picked up a beer bottle and continued to smash heads with it.

The fourth person was the one who hit Tang Xin with a beer bottle.

After smashing the last box of empty bottles, He Dan turned around and looked around. A short while later, he spotted an object not far away.

Walk over and pick it up.

The glass ashtray smashed down on the fourth person's head, denting it slightly.

He Dan raised his hand, preparing to strike a second time.

But then, his underling grabbed his wrist: "That's enough, Doctor. If you keep doing this, someone will really die. It will be very difficult to treat, and it's not the price we agreed on."

He Dan turned around, glanced at his younger brother, and silently nodded.

He threw away the glass ashtray and left behind his first words after entering the factory:

"Send these four to the hospital. Even if they go to the hospital dead, I can make sure their medical records show them as alive."

The younger brother turned around and watched the departing figure of the old Chinese medicine doctor, He Dan, disappear from sight.

He chuckled and said, "People from Dongda University all seem to come with ill intentions. But then again, those with good intentions don't come."
