In Zhong Qiang's hand, a dagger appeared almost instantaneously, stabbing towards Su Xuan with such speed that it left no time to react!
Zhong Qiang intended to stab Su Xuan and then turn tail and run. But to his surprise, Su Xuan's palm instantly grasped the dagger!
Su Xuan frowned, his right hand holding the dagger, preventing Zhong Qiang from stabbing him in the body, but his palm was sliced by a wound, and blood flowed down the dagger—clearly a deep cut!
Crack!
With a forceful grip of his palm, Su Xuan snapped the dagger in half, then landed a powerful kick on Zhong Qiang's body. Zhong Qiang vomited blood, and was sent flying four or five meters backward.
Su Xuan watched Zhong Qiang coldly and said, "Speak! Who taught you that move?"
Zhong Qiang had moved with extreme quickness, clearly knowing some tricks. An ordinary person couldn't achieve such speed; it was comparable to an assassin! This caught Su Xuan off guard and he couldn't dodge, but luckily he reacted swiftly enough to grab the dagger.
Su Xuan walked slowly over to Zhong Qiang, who was lying on the ground, wincing in pain, his bones shattered from the kick. Zhong Qiang tried to stand, but his entire body ached, leaving him without the strength to rise. He could only look up in fear at Su Xuan who approached him, unable to attack any longer.
"Please! Spare me! I'm begging you, spare me!" Zhong Qiang shouted in fear, knowing his attack had failed and there was no chance left to run. He could only plead desperately.
"Tell me, who taught you the move just now?" asked Su Xuan, furrowing his brow.
Zhong Qiang evidently hadn't trained specifically in assassination. The move just now was taught by someone else. This also suggested that Zhong Qiang might be backed by a powerful figure!
"My brother taught me!" blurted Zhong Qiang in haste, afraid Su Xuan would cripple him.
"Your brother? Mengxue's husband?" Su Xuan asked, surprised.
"Not exactly a husband... well, I suppose so, they're married after all," Zhong Qiang muttered.
"What kind of person is your brother?" Su Xuan asked, frowning.
"My brother has been learning kung fu somewhere since childhood, rarely comes home, and nobody knows where he is now, but he's very skilled! This move was taught by him," said Zhong Qiang, looking at Su Xuan in terror. "Sir, I swear I'm telling the truth, please don't hit me anymore!"
"This person is not simple," Su Xuan muttered to himself, certain that Zhong Qiang's brother was no ordinary man.
Then, Su Xuan glanced at Zhong Qiang and said, "Don't ever think about troubling Lin Mengxue again, or I'll leave you paralyzed!"
"Even if you kill me, I wouldn't dare anymore!" Zhong Qiang said, his face ashen.
Su Xuan, looking at Zhong Qiang's fearful demeanor, squatted down, tore off a piece of Zhong Qiang's sleeve forcibly, and wrapped it around the wound on his right hand.
"Now, get lost," said Su Xuan as he stood up, glancing indifferently at Zhong Qiang.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhong Qiang, as if escaping death, was overjoyed, biting through the pain as he staggered to his feet and hastened away in a pathetic sight. He now urgently needed to visit the hospital to check his injuries; he felt internal damage from Su Xuan's beating!
"Sigh, I really can't let my guard down!" Su Xuan looked at his hand, seeing the cloth soaked with blood. He gave a wry smile, realizing he had no choice but to go to the hospital.
So, Su Xuan walked towards the exit of Songzhou Garden, recalling which nearby hospitals there were. Soon he remembered City First Hospital was not far, but didn't know whether it had moved or not after all these years.
...
Following his memory, Su Xuan headed towards City First Hospital. Soon, he saw the somewhat dilapidated hospital building ahead, and a smile appeared on his face—the hospital was still there.
Su Xuan walked into the hospital, not bothering to seek a doctor because he knew his injury wasn't serious. He had been shot four or five times in the past and still didn't die. He was bouncing around as lively as ever.
So, Su Xuan asked for the location of the nurse's office, hoping to have a nurse bandage his wound, and that would be enough.
Quickly, Su Xuan arrived at the nurse's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in," called a pleasant voice from inside.
Su Xuan opened the door and entered, glancing around to see only a young and beautiful girl inside, busy scribbling something with a pen.
Her eyes were large and bright, her black hair slightly floaty. She sat quietly in her chair like a lotus flower, exuding a freshness that was stunning.
Su Xuan was taken aback, his eyes gleaming, "Wow, a beauty..."
Su Xuan eagerly strode over to the nurse, sitting down beside her. Upon closer examination, he was even more impressed by her charm.
The nurse, named Tang Luo, was very young, looking no more than twenty years old, she exuded the vigor of youth. This kind of girl in her prime seemed especially attractive to men. Tang Luo appeared fragile, as if a light push could knock her over, and combined with her nurse's uniform, it added a special allure above her delicate beauty, posing a considerable threat to men.
Compared to the coquettish Lin Mengxue, Tang Luo's youthful and attractive style varied greatly, but both had undeniable charm to men.
"Hello, I'm nurse Tang Luo, are you here for...?" Tang Luo greeted Su Xuan with a polite smile. She looked very pretty when she smiled, and her smile was gentle, making one feel the warmth of a spring breeze. Moreover, Tang Luo's voice was soft, like a marshmallow, sweet but not cloying, which Su Xuan found very enjoyable.
"Oh, I've got some injuries and would like to get them bandaged," Su Xuan said, and after pulling off the cloth wrapped around his right hand, the blood-soaked wound was immediately revealed to Tang Luo.
Tang Luo paused for a moment, then quickly said, "You're hurt so badly, I'll treat your wound right away!"
Tang Luo promptly prepared the iodine and gauze with nimble movements, and once she had everything ready, she told Su Xuan, "Please lay your hand flat and I'll disinfect it for you."
Su Xuan nodded and laid his hand flat.
Then, Tang Luo gently disinfected Su Xuan's wound with iodine, looking at Su Xuan worriedly and gently said, "It might hurt a bit, please bear with it."
"It's fine, just go ahead, it's a minor injury," Su Xuan said with a smile.
"Minor injury? You're bleeding so much and the wound is deep! Don't act tough. If it hurts, tell me, and I will stop for a while," Tang Luo scolded Su Xuan with a glance and then carefully disinfected his wound, her movements were very gentle as if fearing that Su Xuan would feel pain.
Seeing Tang Luo's gentleness, Su Xuan was deeply moved, feeling more than ever that the city was like paradise. To think that a nurse could be so beautiful and so gentle, far superior to those rough and brutal men, was a revelation. Had it been in the past, if he had been injured, he couldn't have hoped for the Military God and the others to treat his wounds; he would have been secretly laughing if they didn't beat him up.
Seeing that Su Xuan's wound was very deep and must be painful, but after she finished disinfecting it, he didn't make a sound and his expression remained calm, Tang Luo was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Does it really not hurt?"
"This little injury really isn't much. Being thrown into the Amazon rainforest to survive alone for a month, not bleeding every day, that would be a miracle," Su Xuan muttered, shrugging.
Tang Luo chuckled lightly and said, "You really have a sense of humor. But you are quite impressive, with such a deep wound and behaving as if nothing happened."
Su Xuan smiled slightly, enjoying the feeling of being praised by a beauty.
Soon, Tang Luo lifted Su Xuan's hand and began to bandage the wound, then she instructed, "Your wound is quite deep, and you need to come in every day to get the dressing changed, remember, okay?"
"Okay," Su Xuan nodded in agreement.
Originally, Su Xuan was thinking of buying some bandages and iodine after this to treat his wound by himself. But since the lovely nurse insisted, even if he had nothing else to do, he would drop by…
"Hm?"
Just as Su Xuan was about to chat with Tang Luo, his expression suddenly changed and he said urgently, "Nurse Tang Luo, quickly go to the window!"
Tang Luo blinked her large eyes in confusion, not understanding why, and asked, "Why?"
"Someone has used sedatives!" Su Xuan said coldly.
Tang Luo was surprised for a moment, then scolded Su Xuan, "Stop teasing me!"
"I'm serious, I'm not lying to you! Please believe me!" Su Xuan said earnestly.
Although Su Xuan said this, Tang Luo still harbored doubts. Sedatives, let alone whether they even existed, who would be bold enough to administer them in broad daylight?
But Tang Luo knew that it was uncomfortable not to be trusted, so she reluctantly bit her lip and thought that she might as well act as if she was being tricked, and kindly stood up, heading towards the window as Su Xuan had suggested.
Su Xuan didn't dare to waste time either. He walked to the window and opened it to accelerate the airflow inside the room.
When nothing happened after a long while, Tang Luo felt even more that Su Xuan was just playing with her. She was somewhat helpless but didn't lose her temper. Tang Luo had a very good temperament and usually didn't get angry unless things went too far.
Just as Tang Luo was almost convinced that Su Xuan was fooling her, suddenly the door to the nurse's office opened, and a young man walked in, then closed the door behind him.
Seeing this young man, Tang Luo froze, and then her face turned pale as she exclaimed in shock, "He's a wanted criminal!"
Tang Luo had seen this young man on television; he was a fugitive on the run!
Only then did Tang Luo realize that what Su Xuan had just said was actually true! And that this young man came here, clearly with malicious intent!
Immediately, Tang Luo became anxious!
