"What the heck have you done?" Wang Yong yelled while entering the apartment. He looked around to find that everything in the apartment is covered with apple juice.
"It's nothing. Give me some time I will clean everything" Wang Wei said quickly picking up the mop and cleaning the floor.
"You call that nothing. Look at the bed, it is drenched. Where do you expect me to sleep? On the floor. Oh! No, I can't that too, Why? Because the floor is also covered with some sticky juice. I need an explanation now" Wang Yong retorted. If Wang Yong can shoot lasers from his eyes, Wang Wei would be dead a thousand times.
"First of all that is not some sticky juice, that's apple juice and If you stop shouting and start helping we don't have to sleep on a dirty floor" Wang Wei shouted at his brother. Even Wei knows that what he said is ridiculous because it's his fault. But as a big brother, he countered Yong to keep his pride.
Bang Bang Bang . . .
While the brothers are busy bickering, they heard someone banging on their door. The brothers went silent and looked at each other. Even though they did not see, the brothers know who might be outside. Wang Wei signaled Yong to get into the kitchen and went to answer the door.
Just like he expected, Wang Wei saw a familiar face at the door.
"Hey, Kiddo. Looks like you are in high spirits yelling at your brother. Maybe I should hit you harder next time" said the person standing at the door.
"Why are you here, Alphonse? Boss Hugo gave me 15 days to pay his money back. It's not even been 3 days. Now get lost. I have other works to do" said Wang Wei. Alphonse is one of Boss Hugo's henchmen. He always comes to Wang Wei's apartment and uses Wei as a punching bag.
"Oh-ho! kiddo, it looks like you have grown some balls down there, huh! See boss Hugo only said that he is giving you 15 days, but he promised nothing about using you as my boxing dummy" said Alphonse with a wide grin on his face.
If it is before Wang Wei would have already resigned himself to the fate but now it is different. He got a system to support him. Previously, when Wang Wei submitted the spatula, he borrowed an item called Quantum cutter.
It's a scalpel with a special function, and that special function is to cut anything inside a human body without touching the body, thus not causing an external injury. It's a onetime use item. Wang Wei borrowed it for situations like this. Apparently, Wang Wei is thinking on how to test it, and luckily, a test subject presented itself in front of him.
Wang Wei kept his hand behind his back and thought of Quantum Cutter. Instantly a scalpel appeared in his hand.
"Come out kid, the boys are waiting for you at the warehouse. Today we should try new things as a celebration for you growing your balls" said Alphonse.
Wang Wei just sighed and said, "Yong, close the door. I'll be back soon" and followed Alphonse, acting like there is nothing he can do. leaving worried Wang Yong behind.
As the Wang brothers' apartment is in an old building, there is no elevator in it. So they have to take stairs. When Alphonse and Wang Wei are getting down the stairs, Wei went behind Alphonse and silently took out the Quantum cutter and swiped it in the air near the kidneys of Alphonse.
Alphonse looked behind at Wang Wei, feeling something at his back. Seeing the there is nothing wrong, he continued stepping down the stairs. But when he took the next step, Alphonse felt an excruciating pain coming from his lower back and fell down the stairs.
Wang Wei, fully knowing what happened, started Oscar worthy acting surprised. He quickly went near Alphonse.
"Are you alright?" he asked Alphonse, whose face color is changing because of the blood loss caused by the injury caused by Wang Wei.
"Call. Amb. bu. Lance" said Alphonse, gritting his teeth
"Wait. I'll go get my phone" Wang Wei said that and rushed to his apartment. Wang Wei went near his apartment and took the phone out of his pocket with an evil smile on his face.
After waiting a minute, he called an ambulance which arrived after five minutes.
"What happened?" asked the paramedic when he found Alphonse unconscious on the stairs with blood coming out of his mouth.
"He fell down the stairs" said Wang Wei worriedly, acting of course
"There are no external injuries. It must be internal. We have to take him to the hospital" said the paramedic and picked up Alphonse on a stretcher, taking him away in the ambulance.
When Wang Wei returned to his apartment, saw Wang Yong cleaning the room. Wang Yong startled hearing the sound of the door opening but seeing that it is his brother he sighed with relief.
"How come you are back so soon?" asked Wang Yong, looking at Wang Wei with any new bruises on his face
"Are you feeling sad that I didn't get hit" commented Wei, listening to what Wang Yong asked
"You know I don't mean like that. What happened?" said Wang Yong.
"Nothing, Alphonse fell on the stairs and injured himself" Wang Wei explained what happened after he left the apartment with Alphonse but he excluded details about the scalpel and the system.
Wang Wei wanted to keep the system as a secret. Until he knows the true origins of the box.
"He deserves it. 5 more days for us to be free" said Wang Yong.
"We can't be sure about that, brother. Don't you remember what I said that night" Wang Wei said listening to what his brother said.
"You mean even though we repaid the debt Boss Hugo will still make trouble for us" said Wang Yong understanding the meaning behind what Wang Wei said
"Yes. So we should prepare ourselves for the worst" said Wang Wei and looked at Wang Yong's face which revealed that he is worrying.
"Don't worry, I have a plan. When the time comes, just do what I say. If my plan works, we might also get to know the secret behind the father's accident" he said.
"I trust you, brother. With that said, start cleaning" said Wang Yong and threw the mop at Wang Wei and the brothers started cleaning their apartment.
Meanwhile at the hospital,
"How is this possible?" said a doctor looking at the CT and X-ray scans
"It looks like the renal arteries are cut precisely using a very sharp tool" said another doctor. The group of doctors is having a deep discussion about Alphonse, who is having his surgery. A doctor with a white beard entered the room. Immediately all the doctors present in the room stood up and greeted him.
"Chief doctor. This case is mind-boggling. We need your help" said the doctor who is studying the scan reports.
"Explain the situation" said Chief doctor taking a seat
"Alphonse, age 30. At 5:30 pm he fell from the stairs and admitted into our hospital. He is having his surgery right now" said a doctor.
"Okay. This is a simple case. Why did you call me here?" Chief doctor asked looking the surrounding doctors.
"Chief. This is not a simply case. There is a gash on his renal arteries which caused massive bleeding. The cut is so precise that it looks like an incision made with a scalpel and you know what's makes this case interesting" the doctor gave a gap in the middle of the sentence, piquing the interest of the chief doctor.
"There are no external injuries. No laceration, no abrasion, no puncture and hell there is not even a bruise on the skin. Just like someone used magic to hurt this guy" said that doctor with a fascination on his face. Before he continued to further explain the case, one of the doctor received a phone call. He spoke for a minute and said out loud.
"Patient Alphonse is dead because of massive bleeding" said that doctor.
