CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: BRAT (PART 1)

He held a knife in his hand, and before anyone could react, he stabbed it into the boy’s body, pulled it out, and swung it towards the boy’s parents...

"Ah, it hurts, boohoo... Mom! Mom! Someone pushed me down, Mom..."

Suddenly, a howl erupted from behind Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan snapped back to reality, she was kneeling on the ground at the moment, her arm supported by Yang Lin, preventing her from hitting the ground.

The surrounding waitstaff quickly rushed over, some went to comfort the little boy, while others checked on Lin Xiaoyan’s condition.

Yang Lin slowly helped Lin Xiaoyan up, gently asking how she was.

As Lin Xiaoyan stood up, she couldn’t help but let out a "hiss".

She looked down at her knees, Yang Lin squatted down a step faster than her.

"It’s bruised, could you please bring over the first aid kit? I need to disinfect it for her." Yang Lin said coldly, addressing the nearby server.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll bring it right away." The server quickly left.

"Little friend, let me see where you’re hurt, don’t cry, we’re the bravest..."

The server behind gently and patiently tried to help the little boy up, but the boy pushed the server away.

"I don’t want you touching me, you trash! Lowly person! Beggar!"

Lin Xiaoyan and the others turned to see a boy around ten years old sitting on the ground, cursing at the server beside him.

People around were shocked by the foul language coming from the boy’s mouth.

Such a young child, how can he say such nasty things!

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the boy, recalling the scene she "saw" earlier, feeling an indescribable sensation in her heart.

"Mom... Mom... come save me, there’s a bad person trying to hit me... Mom..." the boy shouted loudly.

The server next to him looked worried as he glanced at Lin Xiaoyan and Yang Lin.

"Perhaps you two should leave now, the boy’s parents... aren’t easy to communicate with..."

The server said very tactfully.

Yang Lin expressionlessly took the first aid kit, "No rush."

He lowered his head to apply ointment to Lin Xiaoyan, who quickly stopped him.

"Doctor Yang, I can handle it myself, it’s fine, just a bump."

"Don’t move." Yang Lin ordered in a low voice.

Lin Xiaoyan immediately stayed still, watching Yang Lin gently apply medicine to her. Throughout the whole process, she didn’t feel any pain at all.

"It’s done. Don’t get your knees wet today, disinfect and apply more ointment tomorrow morning. You can take a bath tomorrow night..."

Yang Lin cautioned Lin Xiaoyan on what to be mindful of and returned the first aid kit to the server.

"Baby, what happened to you! Oh my god!"

Just then, the boy’s mother rushed out of a private room and ran to his side, terrified.

"What were you doing, you can’t even take care of a child properly, baby, are you hurt? Let mommy check..."

The woman was quite plump, and with her furious look, she was quite intimidating.

The server who had been comforting the boy was scolded by the woman, and tears welled up in her eyes, feeling very wronged.

The manager quickly arrived, and after learning about the situation from the waitstaff around, he asked the wronged server to leave, and he came over to comfort the guests.

"Ma’am, how is the child? Do you need us to take you to the hospital?" the manager asked politely.

Seeing the mother and son was a headache for him; every time they came to the Four Directions Restaurant, something happened! They were so unreasonable and irrational, it drove him crazy!

"How are you taking care of children? I entrusted my child with you, and you should have assigned someone to watch my son carefully, and what happened? My son was pushed down!"

The woman aggressively pointed at the manager’s nose.

"Who pushed my son? Who?"

Lin Xiaoyan, seeing such an unreasonable mother, glanced at the boy with a face full of mischief, and sighed inwardly.

No wonder people say a child is a reflection of their parents, like parents, like children!

So, should she save people like these, who are so unreasonable?

For a moment, Lin Xiaoyan was caught in a dilemma.

Yang Lin noticed Lin Xiaoyan’s mood, thinking she was afraid of the mother and son, he lightly comforted her, "Don’t be afraid."

Lin Xiaoyan looked up at Yang Lin.

Yang Lin walked in front of her, shielding her.

Her heart suddenly raced, feeling that Doctor Yang seemed so tall and reassuring at this moment.

"Manager Gao, have the surveillance footage retrieved.

If this lady wants to call the police, we will cooperate.

If responsibility is pursued, we will abide by the final police decision."

Upon hearing Yang Lin’s words, the woman came over angrily, "You’re the one who pushed my son!"

Yang Lin squinted his eyes, looked coldly at the woman, and didn’t back down.

"No one pushed your son, on the contrary, your son ran around and bumped into someone!

He should apologize to this lady!"

Yang Lin pointed at the boy making faces and said sternly.

The boy, seeing Yang Lin’s expression, was not afraid but instead stuck his tongue out provocatively.

Yang Lin took a cold glance at the boy, then ignored him. A child like this is simply hopeless!

If the parents don’t correct this strictly, it will continue like this in the future.

"What you say goes, huh? Who do you think you are! My son said someone pushed him, it was you who pushed him!

You should quickly apologize to my son!

Moreover, you need to compensate for my son’s emotional distress, medical expenses, and missed class fees..."

Yang Lin completely ignored the woman, turned to Lin Xiaoyan, and said softly, "You go with the server to the front hall, Jing Yi should be there after settling the bill, let him take you home. I’ll wait here for the police."

Upon hearing Yang Lin mention waiting for the police, the woman became even angrier.

"You think you can leave when the police arrive? Humph, don’t even think about it!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at the overbearing woman and sighed internally. No wonder people wanted to harm their family, alas!

"Go on, don’t worry, I’ll resolve this quickly."

Yang Lin still didn’t pay attention to the woman, instead focused entirely on Lin Xiaoyan.

Lin Xiaoyan opened her mouth but finally, under Yang Lin’s determination, left with the server.

"Don’t go! She can’t leave! She’s the one who pushed my son..." the woman saw Lin Xiaoyan leaving and tried to grab her.

Yang Lin immediately blocked the woman, "I will handle this matter here, no need for anyone else."

Just then, the manager returned; he had already retrieved the surveillance footage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got the footage, please have a look."

About this time, the noise from here drew some curious onlookers from other private rooms.

"Wait..." the woman knew her son’s temperament, she wanted to stop it.

However, Manager Gao didn’t give the woman any time to intervene and directly started playing the footage.

In the surveillance footage, everyone clearly saw that the boy had knocked Lin Xiaoyan down...
