“No, this is called confidence!” Hao Yunyang chuckled. “And that time later, when I met you on the street. Honestly, if the person surrounded by those thugs wasn’t you, I wouldn’t have stepped in to help.”
“What if it was a girl more beautiful than me?” Zhao Chenxin blinked her big eyes at Hao Yunyang.
“A girl more beautiful than you?” Hao Yunyang stared at Zhao Chenxin for a while, looking thoughtful, which made Zhao Chenxin pout until he seriously said, “Is there?”
“Ah?” Zhao Chenxin was stunned at first, then burst into a charming laugh.
After leaving the city people’s hospital, Hao Yunyang and Zhao Chenxin directly got into a taxi heading to Changchun City People’s Hospital.
When Hao Yunyang and Zhao Chenxin arrived at the hospital, Wang Shiyu, who had already received Hao Yunyang’s call, was waiting at the entrance. Seeing them get out of the car, Wang Shiyu walked up and slightly nodded in greeting.
“How is he?” Walking towards the ward, Hao Yunyang asked Wang Shiyu. “Are his injuries better?”
“Mm,” Wang Shiyu nodded slightly, then fell silent until they reached the ward door, when he suddenly spoke: “He wants to be with you.”
“What?” Hao Yunyang didn’t hear clearly.
“He says he wants to be with you, like me,” Wang Shiyu said without opening the ward door, looking at Hao Yunyang. “But he says you must help him take revenge.”
“No way, I don’t have time for that,” Hao Yunyang, who had previously thought he might get an extra bodyguard, lost interest and waved his hand. “We have no connection, why should I?”
Wang Shiyu was stunned by this response and then said, “But he’s very skilled.”
“Having you is enough,” Hao Yunyang replied.
“He doesn’t want salary.”
“I’m not short of money!”
After some back and forth, Wang Shiyu finally said, “I’ve already agreed to this for you.”
The conversation continues with further negotiations and discussions about the mysterious person and potential collaboration.
Hao Yunyang completely collapsed because he felt Wang Shiyu’s persistence, and it was a very firm kind of persistence. What should he do? Should he really kick Wang Shiyu away and take Zhao Chenxin back?
Looking seriously at Wang Shiyu for a long time, Hao Yunyang finally asked, “Really, have you made up your mind?”
“Yes!”
“Then, then follow,” Hao Yunyang sighed and waved his hand, “Open the door. That night, I didn’t get a clear look at the person in the rush, but I have to say something ugly upfront.”
“What?” Wang Shiyu, who was about to open the door, was stunned.
“If you follow me and find the person unsatisfactory, I won’t show mercy,” Hao Yunyang said seriously. “When it’s time to kick someone out, I absolutely won’t hesitate for a second!”
“Okay!” Wang Shiyu seemed to have full confidence in this person and nodded without thinking. But in the end, he added, “But even if I kick him out, I’ll help him get revenge.”
“Don’t force me to hit you.”
“You can’t beat me,” Wang Shiyu said calmly.
“Open the door,” Hao Yunyang, encountering such an exceptional person, could only submit.
The hospital room door was finally opened, and a strong, pungent medicinal smell rushed into the noses of Hao Yunyang and the others. Wang Shiyu’s expression remained natural, with no reaction. Hao Yunyang raised his eyebrows slightly, but Zhao Chenxin had the most dramatic reaction, directly covering her nose with her hand.
The hospital room was simply furnished, with two beds and a TV stand without a TV.
One bed was empty, and the person rescued that day lay on the other bed with closed eyes. But as the door was pushed open, the person suddenly opened his eyes and abruptly turned his head: “Who?!”
“Why so nervous?” Hao Yunyang frowned slightly.
“Martial artist’s instinct,” Wang Shiyu glanced back at Hao Yunyang and said calmly, “You wouldn’t understand.”
Being repeatedly looked down upon, despised, and ignored by Wang Shiyu in such matters, a spark of anger rose in Hao Yunyang’s heart but was immediately extinguished. A helpless, bitter smile appeared on his face.
Because Wang Shiyu was right. In this aspect, he truly didn’t understand. What martial artist’s instinct, what national martial arts master – for Hao Yunyang, these were completely foreign concepts. No matter how much was explained, it would be useless! So a simple dismissal was the best way to avoid complicated explanations.
It was just that Wang Shiyu’s method was somewhat hard to accept…
“It’s Shiyu,” Wan Hongyuan’s wary expression gradually relaxed upon seeing who entered. His body, which had been slightly raised, fell back onto the hospital bed. After greeting Wang Shiyu, he smiled slightly at Hao Yunyang and nodded: “I suppose you’re the boss Shiyu mentioned?”
“Perhaps you should also call me boss from now on,” Hao Yunyang, having made a decision, didn’t want to be pretentious. He walked to Wan Hongyuan’s bedside and asked casually, “Tell me about your situation.
Wan Hongyuan pondered for a moment, then continued: “Intelligence is a general term for organizations, and spies are subordinate members within intelligence organizations. So, before dispatching spies into a target company, a headquarters or central figure responsible for coordinating these personnel is first needed, and wanting these people to be completely loyal is basically impossible, unless…”
“Excluding physical threats, that won’t work.” Before Wan Hongyuan could finish his thought, Hao Yunyang had already cut him off, smiling and looking at Wan Hongyuan: “Continue.”
“This…” Wan Hongyuan felt a headache coming on. But then his eyes brightened, and he chuckled: “Commercial spies don’t necessarily need to be inserted from outside. As long as you’re willing to pay enough, you can completely pull the other company’s people into our camp, implement one-sided contact. Even if they’re eventually discovered, at worst we’ll just cut that line.”
“How cunning!” Hao Yunyang also smiled, nodding at Wan Hongyuan: “Now, you can tell me about the situation with the person who killed your father.”
“That black gang is called the Lotus Gang, led by a man named Lu Hu, a native cancer of Xining City in Qinghai Province.” Wan Hongyuan had clearly done some investigation into the Lotus Gang, and after organizing his thoughts, continued: “The Lotus Gang’s main sphere of influence is throughout Qinghai Province. Because Qinghai has many autonomous regions and insufficient crackdowns in certain areas, he is highly influential in the province’s underground world. Just stomping his foot would make the entire Qinghai tremble!”
“Uncle Rong, I’ll tell you the truth.” Looking at the confusion on Rong Binghui’s face, Dai Chengwei lit a cigarette and said: “I now know exactly whose hands the item is in, only that person hasn’t returned yet. Do you know that assistant called A Huan under my father?”
“That Zai Huan who narrowly escaped death?”
“Yes, exactly him.” Dai Chengwei smiled with a corner of his mouth: “I’ve already arranged for him to work at a company, and he’ll strike once he finds the right target. But here in Leqing, although this round of crackdown has cleaned things up quite a bit, there are inevitably still some unreconciled fish that have slipped through the net. As long as we make even the slightest noise here, it will immediately attract their attention. At that point, it would be counterproductive. So, to make these people completely give up, we need to create a murderer and shift the focus of this matter. When they’re all tensely investigating that murderer—”
“Hehe.” Rong Binghui laughed and continued: “By the time they’re investigating, we’ll have already taken care of things.”
“You understand me so well, Uncle Rong!” Dai Chengwei also burst into hearty laughter.
