Healing Doctor

Chapter 699 A Different Person

Ji Xiang guessed wrong.

He watched helplessly as "himself" opened his mouth and used a small hammer to knock off the crown of his tooth.

"You're really ruthless!" Ji Xiang thought with some emotion.

Just looking at it made Ji Xiang feel pain.

This is someone who made a big fuss over nothing. Although Ji Xiang has no similar experience, he can see through "his" thoughts at a glance.

But what's the point of knocking out the crown? Ji Xiang didn't understand.

But the next second, Ji Xiang realized he had guessed wrong again.

After knocking off one crown, "He" did not stop, but continued to knock off the next tooth.

The driver was listening to music and navigation, and didn't notice the commotion behind him.

The taxi arrived at the hospital, and "I" got out and went straight to the emergency room.

In the treatment room, "myself" spat out seven bloody tooth crowns.

Ji Xiang was dumbfounded from the perspective of an outsider.

I never imagined that "I" would be so ruthless!

Seven dental crowns were knocked out in one go in a taxi!

However, in a moment of reflection, Ji Xiang realized what "he" was really thinking.

He was unwilling to accept it; he was still unwilling to accept it.

"That's true, I wouldn't be willing to accept it if it were me," Ji Xiang thought to himself.

For the sake of his brother-in-law's child, he couldn't even keep his own child. What kind of logic is that?

If your wife aborts your child without consulting you at all, anyone would feel resentful.

Just to get justice for her child who was aborted before birth, she was willing to knock out all of his teeth, not just seven, but all the crowns.

Ji Xiang then thought of the man with a blood-covered face he had encountered in the emergency room. What was he doing there?

Given the operating room practices, that patient's situation should be similar to "myself's".

Ji Xiang didn't know much about this, so he wrote it down and planned to ask the system NPC when he got back.

"Wow, what did you do?!" the doctor exclaimed in surprise when he saw so many teeth fall out of the dish.

"I was beaten up, and I called the police," "I" mumbled.

"This..." the doctor rubbed his hands, "This is definitely a serious injury."

The doctor was very experienced; he could tell from "himself's" expression why "he" had come to the hospital.

"Myself" didn't speak, his eyes were somewhat vacant.

Ji Xiang tried to recall, but his knowledge of forensic identification was completely blank, and he couldn't remember why it was considered a serious injury.

Soon, the police arrived at the hospital and began taking statements.

"He" then accessed the video surveillance footage.

The video clearly and accurately recorded everything.

My ex-brother-in-law stood at the door and knocked out seven of my teeth without my knowledge or retaliation.

This is an undeniable fact, and there is no room for argument.

"Seven teeth, second-degree serious injury, could be sentenced to 3-10 years," the examining doctor said. "But your teeth are too brittle; one slap, just one slap."

"Myself" smiled and didn't argue with the doctor.

The doctor just said it "casually" and pointed to "himself," without going on to show off.

It's better to avoid trouble; if we really delve into it, things might get out of control.

"Do you usually drink cola? Drink less, otherwise your teeth will feel brittle, and if you also drink alcohol, it will increase your risk of developing diabetes."

The doctor and "himself" casually started chatting about other things.

Ji Xiang watched all of this silently.

At this point, the matter is clear.

It was obvious that the patient who looked calm and didn't bother to cover the wound on his face probably had a similar purpose to "himself".

One would rather smash seven of his teeth, the other would rather be disfigured.

Before he could truly empathize with the situation, Ji Xiang would have wondered what kind of deep-seated hatred could drive someone to such scheming and even self-harm.

After witnessing his own series of experiences, Ji Xiang understood.

But the empathy didn't end there.

After the test results were obtained, the procedures were to be followed. His ex-wife remained quiet, and "he" himself was not in a hurry. He handled everything through a lawyer and simply went to get off work and came home every day, following a very regular schedule.

About ten days later, the knocking sounded again.

He glanced at the monitor and saw his ex-wife's family standing outside, except for his ex-brother-in-law. He smiled, a very happy smile.

A sense of exhilarating revenge rose within him and was evident on his face.

He quickly rubbed his hands together, then covered his face with them. A few seconds later, he took his hands off and his smile disappeared.

Her facial expression management was quite good.

When the door opened, my ex-mother-in-law was crying her eyes out. Her acting was pretty good; at least she didn't use any medicated oil or mustard. She could cry on cue, which was better than most actors.

She was like a typical shrew, recounting how good the "family" relationship had been before, while simultaneously berating "her" behavior.

Ji Xiang sighed deeply as he watched.

Perhaps there are quite a few people who always blame others when there's a problem.

She was scolding her own precious son, who was already 3 to 10 years old, in a tone that was unacceptable to him.

Perhaps these habits were already ingrained in her bones, and she had long been accustomed to a superior attitude.

Or perhaps, in her former mother-in-law's mind, "she" was just a coward, the kind of person who would climb on the roof and tear off the tiles if she wasn't disciplined for three days.

If you scold them a couple of times, they'll back down.

But what they didn't know was that after she accompanied her ex-wife to her abortion, "she" had already changed, becoming someone they didn't recognize at all.

The huge psychological gap turned "myself" into a different person!

He watched his ex-mother-in-law and ex-father-in-law put on a show, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, while his ex-wife remained silent, offering only a polite smile as if they were complete strangers.

"Ji Xiang, once you sign the letter of understanding, we'll proceed with the divorce immediately. Name your terms, I won't haggle."

Seeing that "he" remained silent, the ex-wife spoke in a bossy tone.

In that instant, Ji Xiang felt as if he had returned to when he first arrived, where mushrooms had grown on the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and she was lying there, gesturing wildly.

"I'm sorry." "Myself" smiled slightly. "After we get married, I'll hand over my salary card to you. The lawyer has already investigated how it was spent. A large portion was given to your brother. We still need to settle this score."

His ex-wife's eyes widened in disbelief.

"It's too complicated for you to understand, so to put it simply, our family was a liability before the divorce. I'm curious, if I insist on not settling, and your brother is sentenced to about 8 years, what are you going to use to negotiate with me?"

"!!!"

The ex-wife and her family were stunned.

It was obvious that they were strangers to the person in front of them.

The man who used to be obedient and compliant no matter how much he was bossed around is gone, replaced by a cold-faced, ruthless fellow.

What exactly happened?

The ex-wife and her family were completely bewildered.
