Chapter 100: They’re Simply Lawless
“Doctor, doctor, emergency!”
“How did he get injured…” The triage nurse quickly came to check: consciousness, normal; breathing, normal; pulse, normal…
“What are you looking at? Call the doctor now…” Ah Fei directly pushed the nurse aside.
“I don’t know the patient’s condition, which doctor should I call? How should treatment be arranged?” The nurse glared at Ah Fei irritably.
“He was stabbed by a master with a knife, stabbed in the stomach, can’t you see blood all over his body? Write it like that…” Ah Fei pointed from the side: “Hurry up, if something happens to my boss, you’re dead.”
“Bring him over here…” The nurse irritably gestured for Ah Fei to help the person into the emergency room, then quickly went to notify the doctor.
In no time, the doctor came in with several nurses.
“Where is the injury?”
“Stomach? Cut open the clothes.”
“Wait a minute, my clothes are expensive, over a thousand bucks.” Chen Wujun unbuttoned his clothes himself, revealing a belly covered in already dried blood…
Spend where you should, save where you should!
“Where is the wound?” The doctor and nurses saw no injury at all on Chen Wujun’s stomach.
“Ah Fei, you tell them.”
Ah Fei pulled out two stacks of cash from his pocket and stuffed them to the doctor: “My boss was stabbed by assassins, two knife wounds to the stomach, chest fractured, handle it like that, how to write the medical record… you know. This is a thank-you gift, there’ll be another one later…”
The doctor knew what that meant as soon as he heard it.
“This is hard for me to handle, the police have been checking strictly lately…” the doctor frowned.
These past two days, the Federal Police Bureau had issued notices to every hospital in North Port: all gunshot wounds, sharp weapon injuries, and injuries from being struck by heavy objects must be reported.
“Hard to handle? Then today you’ll get two knife wounds to the stomach, chest fractured… what do you think? Writing the medical record gets you money, do I need to teach you?” Ah Fei’s expression turned hostile immediately.
“It’s not that I won’t help you, I want to help, but the federal police will come to investigate…” the doctor reminded them with a troubled face.
Normally, gang members all had criminal records and hated dealing with the police the most.
“I have a clear conscience, let them investigate if they want!” Chen Wujun spoke up from the stool.
“I’ll help you…” Seeing Chen Wujun’s attitude, the doctor immediately changed his tune.
He didn’t want to ask for trouble.
Ah Fei immediately stuffed the money into his pocket and said to the two nurses nearby: “Keep your mouths shut, there’ll be thank-you gifts for you all later. Otherwise…”
Ah Fei showed a threatening expression.
The two nurses rolled their eyes at him; they’d seen all kinds of patients in the hospital over the years.
“What kind of look is that… I won’t argue with you today…” Ah Fei said grudgingly.
The doctor stepped forward and pressed Chen Wujun’s stomach; it didn’t feel like pressing on a person, more like pressing on an iron plate, so he immediately got the idea.
A New Technique Martial Artist.
“What does it feel like?”
“It’s bleeding, doctor…” Chen Wujun said.
“Multiple sharp weapon stab wounds…” The doctor instructed the nurse to write the medical record.
“And the chest?” the doctor asked again.
“Fractured…”
“Severe chest contusion with suspected fracture.” The doctor continued instructing.
“Anywhere else uncomfortable?”
“I’m almost done for, doctor!”
“Hemorrhagic shock…”
“Disinfect and bandage first, then take a CT… Are you going to be hospitalized or?”
“Of course hospitalized, single room! Remember to put some blood on the gauze…”
Suddenly a nurse’s voice came from outside: “You can’t come in, there’s a patient inside.”
The ward door was pushed open with a bang, several henchmen blocking the doorway were about to curse, but saw Sister Sha Jiu striding in.
“Sister Sha Jiu.”
“What happened?” Sister Sha Jiu pushed aside the henchmen, glanced at Chen Wujun, and saw he looked ruddy and full of vigor, not like someone injured at all.
The blood on his stomach was all dried.
“Assassinated by four masters, Sister Sha Jiu, I’m seriously injured now!” Chen Wujun said leisurely from the emergency table.
Sister Sha Jiu almost laughed from anger seeing him like this.
Half an hour later, Chen Wujun was treated and sent to a ward, with thick bandages wrapped around his stomach and chest.
Sister Sha Jiu had someone buy a basket of apples, and she herself crunched into one.
“Senior Sister, I’m the patient.” Chen Wujun reached for an apple.
“Want me to peel an apple for you?” Sister Sha Jiu glanced at him sideways.
“That works too…” Chen Wujun thought for a moment.
Sister Sha Jiu raised her hand and smashed an apple onto Chen Wujun.
“My top guy is seriously injured, I had to come see. Now that I’ve seen, I’m leaving.” Sister Sha Jiu ate two apples, got up, and left with her people.
“Go buy some magazines to read.” Chen Wujun instructed from the bed.
“Curry, what are you and A Wei doing here? Go to the street market! Don’t cause me any trouble.”
“Right, have someone bring Ah Qi to the hospital for lessons. I see her leg is almost healed.”
Less than an hour later, a male and female pair of federal police arrived at the ward.
“What do you want?” Several henchmen directly blocked the doorway.
“Federal police, you’d better get out of the way.” The two officers directly showed their identification.
“Think being police makes you special? There’s a patient inside.”
“Not moving? Obstructing an investigation, believe I’ll arrest you all?”
“Let them in.” Chen Wujun heard the commotion outside and spoke up.
He’d guessed it was for this when he heard the doctor say the police were checking strictly lately.
It was to investigate Harris’s disappearance.
Harris was a mutated master, and he had a gun; lately all injured and hospitalized people were police suspects.
The henchmen at the door grudgingly stepped aside.
The two officers then entered the ward warily, scanning around, seeing a young man covered in muscles, holding a pornographic magazine.
“Police investigation, cooperate.” One of the male officers spoke up.
“Name.”
“Chen Wujun.”
“Address.”
“Walled City!”
The two officers exchanged a glance.
Walled City was the infamous No Man’s Land.
“Occupation?”
“Run an arcade… you know arcades? Shoot ’em up!”
“How did you get injured?”
“I just came out of the shop, a few guys rushed out and stabbed me with knives! They said they’d make my blood splash the street, officer, they’re totally lawless! Committing crimes in broad daylight!”
“Know who did it?”
“Definitely Li Dong’s people, the most lawless in Walled City are them, collecting protection fee, selling Number Four Dealer, forcing women into prostitution, utterly vile. Officer, you must catch them!” Chen Wujun said with a smile.
The two officers finished recording and turned to leave.
Clearly, this injured person wasn’t much of a suspect, though they didn’t fully believe him either.
After leaving, they radioed back: “Guan Fu Field hospital just admitted an injured person, a New Technique Martial Artist, sharp weapon stab wounds, name Chen Wujun… he says he was stabbed by Li Dong’s people…”
At this time, news of Chen Wujun being stabbed by assassins also reached many ears in Walled City.
“Go buy a fruit basket, we’ll go to the hospital later.” A Hao instructed a henchman.
“Buy what?”
“Apples, for safety!”
After thinking, he called Kai Lun.
“A Jun was stabbed, want to go see?”
“I’m on the way, if you’re coming, I’ll wait for you downstairs at the hospital…” Kai Lun said from the other end of the phone.
…
“They couldn’t even kill him! Sheng Sha’s people are useless!” Fire Dragon said irritably upon hearing Chen Wujun didn’t die.
“Reportedly several masters with strength about equal to Yu Wei…”
“Bullshit, if they were equal to Yu Wei, he’d be dead already!” Fire Dragon said irritably.
“Notify the people over at Sheng Sha!”
…
“Brother Ji Xiang, that Chen Wujun was assassinated and seriously injured.”
“Tell me what happened?”
After learning the details, Ji Xiang gloated: “Probably people arranged by Li Dong.”
“He’s caused Li Dong so much trouble so many times, Li Dong definitely can’t swallow that.”
“That guy really thinks Sister Sha Jiu can protect him? So arrogant, making so many enemies, sooner or later he’ll be beaten to death!” Ji Xiang sneered, eyes full of mockery.
“Li Dong definitely won’t let it go.”
“We’ll just sit and watch, see when he gets beaten to death!”
…
Ah Qi, leaning on a crutch, came to the hospital with Xiang Zai.
Outside Chen Wujun’s ward, she heard lively voices inside.
“Who knows where Li Dong found those people, those assassins each weren’t weaker than Yu Wei…”
“But I’m alert, sensed something wrong, slapped one assassin’s head, killed him outright.”
“Another assassin, one kick at least two thousand pounds of force… I smashed him straight into the ground…”
“The worst was that one, I splashed a pot of hot oil over, even smelled the aroma…”
“But I took two knives too. Small issue, in ten or eight days I’ll go kill them…”
Chen Wujun lay on the bed, grinning and bragging to Kai Lun and A Hao.
“Looking at you, you’re clearly fine… full of vigor…” A Hao laughed.
Chen Wujun immediately changed his tone: “How am I fine? Can’t you see I’m almost gone?”
“I’m mustering my energy to talk to you… now I have no strength left… I need to rest…”
A Hao and Kai Lun chuckled: “Then rest well.”
When they came out, they saw a slim, small girl wearing glasses, looking very obedient, leaning on a crutch outside.
“Wrong room…” A Hao said casually, then swaggered off with Kai Lun and their people.
After a few steps, Kai Lun heard the crutch sound, turned her head, and saw that slim small girl actually entered Chen Wujun’s ward.
The henchmen didn’t stop her.
“I thought she had the wrong room… didn’t expect A Jun likes this type…” A Hao also looked back and immediately laughed.
…
“Are you okay?” Ah Qi stood by the bed on her crutch, seeing thick gauze on Chen Wujun’s chest and stomach.
The gauze on his stomach even had blood seeping out.
Looking at Chen Wujun’s eyes, they were still bright, as if nothing had happened.
But from the gauze, she felt he might be seriously injured.
“I’m not okay, how could I be?”
“You can learn again in a few days, no need to push so hard.” Ah Qi comforted.
“Since I’m not dead, I still need to learn.” Chen Wujun said indifferently, then to the henchmen: “Make way, so many people crowding the room, I can’t breathe.”
Then he saw Ah Qi take out a middle school math book from the bag Xiang Zai was carrying.
He immediately felt even more out of breath.
…
At 10:30 PM, the hospital lights were out; Chen Wujun jumped off the bed, put on his pants and shirt; at the door only Ah Fei with four henchmen, all reliable loyal ones picked by Ah Fei.
“Guard this place, no one allowed in.”
“One of you go lie on the bed.”
Chen Wujun gave a few instructions.
“Brother Jun, don’t worry.”
Chen Wujun nodded, then swaggered off with Ah Fei, going downstairs via the fire escape on the side.
Got into a minivan heading to the street market.
