"Huh?"
Ruan Chunxiang was startled by the eccentric doctor's shout, a flicker of confusion in her eyes.
She glanced over at him, puzzled.
She saw the eccentric doctor slumped in his chair.
He looked as if he'd had a terrible shock.
'This old man... don't tell me he's having a heart attack?'
'Or is he getting ready to punish Yun Zhenyue himself?'
Just as Ruan Chunxiang was hesitating, wondering whether she should proceed with the punishment,
The eccentric doctor took a few ragged breaths and then shot to his feet.
"Stop!" he yelled, sucking in a sharp breath.
In that instant, the eccentric doctor seemed to have become a completely different person.
His earlier expression of greed and coldness had vanished.
In its place,
was the image of a dignified, righteous doctor with unimpeachable integrity.
His expression was one of heartache and bitter disappointment.
"How dare you go so far! I truly misjudged you!"
