The Supreme Village Doctor

Chapter 96: Chapter 97: A Gambler’s True Nature

On the tabletop, the three dice all showed three pips, for a total of nine points.

"How can that be? It was supposed to be eight!" Young Master Lin exclaimed, his eyes wide with anger.

"I won! I won!" Yang Hu roared with laughter. "Young Master Lin, I don’t owe you anything anymore."

Yang Lin pressed her lips together tightly, her face a mask of disbelief. An unusual light gleamed in her eyes.

"We’re even now," Li Yang said calmly. "You can go."

A murderous glint flashed in Young Master Lin’s eyes. "You killed my dog!"

Li Yang said coldly, "Are you looking for revenge?"

A chill ran down Young Master Lin’s spine. Recalling Li Yang’s fighting prowess from moments before, he didn’t dare say another word.

"Get lost!" Li Yang said coldly. "From now on, they no longer owe you anything."

Outmatched and with no other choice, Young Master Lin just snorted coldly, then left with his men, taking the dog’s corpse with them.

"Thank you!" Yang Lin’s lips were still pale, but she breathed a sigh of relief. "If it weren’t for you, I don’t know what I would have done. I’m so, so grateful."

Li Yang shook his head. "Don’t worry about it. Everything’s fine now, so let’s just leave it at that."

"Okay, I’ll treat you to dinner some other time!"

Li Yang simply smiled, turned, and walked away.

"Hey, young man..." An idea sparked in Yang Hu’s mind, and he quickly followed Li Yang out the door.

"What is it?" Once they were in the alley, Li Yang finally stopped and turned to face Yang Hu, his gaze icy.

’He didn’t like gamblers, and he especially despised people who dragged their families down with their addiction.’

"Young man, how did you know it was nine points? I know for a fact Young Master Lin has a special talent for hearing the dice. How did you do it?" Yang Hu, oblivious to Li Yang’s cold demeanor, asked eagerly.

Li Yang retorted, "You knew he had a talent for hearing the dice, and you still let me gamble against him?"

Yang Hu froze for a second, then gave a hollow laugh. "Hey, you were the one who offered to bet, not me. Besides, Young Master Lin is amazing at everything. Gambling with dice or cards, it’s all the same to him."

Li Yang was so furious he could barely breathe. But he wasn’t a relative, so it wasn’t his place to say too much. He just snorted. "Stop gambling. You have a good daughter. Don’t drag her into the fire with you."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Young man!" Yang Hu’s mind was consumed with thoughts of gambling. He grabbed Li Yang’s arm. "You’re so good at this! Why don’t we team up? You call the dice, and we’re guaranteed to win every single time! We’ll make a fortune, and then I can give Linlin a good life."

SLAP!

Li Yang raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

Yang Hu stumbled back a few steps, cradling his face in disbelief.

After a moment, he roared, "You fucking dare to hit me? Who the hell do you think you are? Just some little peasant. You’re trying to get with my daughter, aren’t you? You just wait. I’ll make sure you never see her again."

SLAP!

Li Yang slapped him again.

Yang Hu was stunned. "You..."

"First, I was only bringing your daughter home because I was grateful for her help. There’s nothing between us. Second, you need to wake the hell up. If I find out you’ve dragged your daughter into your gambling mess again, I’ll break your legs. Remember that. My name is Li Yang, and I keep my word!"

With that, Li Yang turned, spat on the ground, and muttered, "Fucking piece of shit."

"You... Have you no respect for your elders!" Yang Hu was furious but lacked the courage to do anything more, so he could only curse at Li Yang’s retreating back.

Unseen, Yang Lin had followed them out at some point. She’d heard and seen everything Li Yang did, and now she stood there in a daze.

"What kind of friend is that?!" Yang Hu yelled as soon as they were back inside. "Don’t you ever see him again! If I catch you with him, I’ll break his damn legs."

"Dad, the man just saved us from a debt of over a million," Yang Lin said irritably, wiping away a tear.

"He didn’t save us! I’m the one who made the good roll!" Yang Hu roared. "I’m telling you, you’re forbidden from ever seeing him again! That son of a bitch is a complete idiot!"

...

「The next morning.」

Li Yang was woken by the sound of a car. Getting up to look, he was surprised to see Liuwan in his yard, with Yang Lin by her side.

"Your hometown is quite nice!" Liuwan, looking particularly beautiful in a pale red pantsuit, glanced around. "I came using the address from your file. I didn’t expect the scenery to be so good, even if the roads to your village aren’t the best. Is that Bishui Lake up ahead? It’s gorgeous!"

Yang Lin, meanwhile, was all smiles.

"Manager Liu, what brings you here?" Li Yang asked, surprised.

"You’ve already signed the contract with our company, so we need to come do a site survey of the village before we can create the designs. Oh, by the way, our surveyors and designers have already headed to the elementary school. Come on, let’s go join them."

Li Yang was overjoyed. "Great! Just give me a second, and we can head over right away!"

When they arrived at the village elementary school, they found the place was already bustling with activity.

The teachers from the school had gathered around the staff members, all talking excitedly.

Li Yang spotted Ye Xiu off to the side. He walked over with a grin and said, "Aunt Xiu, look! I told you I’d find a construction team."
