Chapter 66

After finishing dinner at the villa, Xiao Chen greeted Su Qing and drove straight to the Second City Hospital.

Upon arriving at the Second Hospital, Xiao Chen met Li Mother and Li Hanhou, who were having dinner.

Li Mother's dinner was still delivered by the herbal cuisine shop, which adjusted the menu according to her health condition, aiding her recovery!

The herbal prescriptions were all personally written by Xiao Chen!

Now, Li Mother had complete trust in Xiao Chen's medical skills, even finding them miraculous, as he had snatched her life back from the hands of the Grim Reaper!

"Brother Chen, you're here. Want to eat something?"

Li Hanhou, seeing Xiao Chen enter, put down his steamed bun and smiled at Xiao Chen.

"I've already eaten." Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, greeting Li Mother and finding a place to sit.

"A-Chen, I feel my body is almost back to normal. When can I be discharged? Staying here is quite troublesome, and the hospital director comes every day."

Li Mother looked at Xiao Chen, feeling a sense of contrast. Initially, they were almost kicked out of the hospital... Now, the hospital director personally visited every day, a stark difference in treatment!

And all this change was due to the young man in front of her.

"Right, I came today to talk about this... Auntie, if you want to be discharged, you can go through the procedures the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Chen said, taking out a key from his pocket and placing it on the table: "Last time I told Big Han that I would help you find a house. Last night, I had dinner with Old Medicine, and he said he has a vacant villa here, right next to the Huang River. The surroundings are very nice and quiet. He gave me the key and said you could move in first."

"Old Medicine's villa? How can we accept that..." Li Mother instinctively wanted to refuse; she was a woman who didn't like to owe favors.

"Auntie, there's nothing wrong with it, just move in!" Xiao Chen smiled: "If you think it's not suitable for Old Medicine, then consider it mine. You wouldn't be formal with me, right?"

Hearing this, Li Mother thought for a moment and slowly nodded: "Okay."

Seeing Li Mother agree, Xiao Chen threw the key to Li Hanhou: "I'll come to pick you up the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Hanhou didn't hesitate, but he remembered it in his heart.

"Big Han, I have some things to do tomorrow and won't be at the company. You go to the company tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Recently, someone might try to harm President Su. When you get to the company tomorrow, just focus on ensuring President Su's safety!"

"Brother Chen, rest assured, I will definitely protect President Su's safety!" Li Hanhou nodded forcefully, seeing how serious Xiao Chen was.

"Auntie, should I ask the hospital director to arrange a caregiver for you?"

Xiao Chen considered everything.

"No need, I can take care of myself now." Li Mother smiled and shook her head.

Xiao Chen nodded, stayed in the ward for a while, and checked Li Mother's pulse before leaving.

He didn't return to the Yujinxiang Villa but went to the 'Lonely Bar.'

As night fell, the bar was lit up with neon lights, bustling with activity.

Especially in a big city like Longhai, the nightlife was colorful and vibrant. People who worked all day were always eager to come out to release their stress or desires.

When he arrived at the 'Lonely Bar,' it was already crowded, with flashing lights and a noisy atmosphere.

On the stage, several rock singers were screaming their lungs out, and in the small dance floor below, lonely men and women were wildly swaying their bodies, releasing their excess hormones.

Xiao Chen, familiar with the place, walked through the bustling crowd and entered the office area.

"Brother Chen, you're here."

Xiao Dao was polishing his deadly knife. Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw Xiao Chen, put down the knife, and stood up.

"Right." Xiao Chen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the knife on the table, and he smiled: "It's late, why not go out to pick up girls? What are you doing, cuddling with your knife in the office?"

"In this life, I can live without a girlfriend, but I can't live without my killing knife." Xiao Dao ran his fingers along the blade and smiled: "It is my beloved!"

Xiao Chen grinned: "That's what a knife lover is? If this gets out, people might think you have a fetish!"

"Let them think what they want. They don't understand what a knife means to a knife wielder." Xiao Dao didn't care.

Xiao Chen was silent for a few seconds. Indeed, there was an old saying:

As long as the knife is there, the man is there; when the knife breaks, the man dies!

Perhaps, for Xiao Dao, it was just like that!

He could be called a true knife wielder!

"Brother Chen, I've already arranged with the funeral home. The burial will be at 10 AM tomorrow."

Xiao Dao put away the knife and said to Xiao Chen.

"Right."

"According to what you said, there won't be any complicated rituals..."

Xiao Chen nodded. Su Yunfei's death couldn't be exposed, so he didn't plan to have a grand funeral. A quiet burial would be enough.

Isn't it said?

A person's greatness is measured by their funeral!

These days, Xiao Chen sometimes thought, if Su Yunfei hadn't died on a private mission with him, if he had died for the country, what kind of honor would he have received?

Would he have been wrapped in a horsehide?

Would he have been covered in a red flag?

Even the top military leaders might have come to pay their respects?

Xiao Chen sighed. He owed Su Yunfei not just a life but also the honor he deserved!

"I'll go see Old Su."

Xiao Chen felt more and more depressed and went to the next room, looking at the photo on the table, silent for a moment.

Snap.

Xiao Chen lit three cigarettes and placed them in front of the photo, then lit one for himself and took a few deep puffs.

"Old Su, I will bring back the honor you deserve... I'll send you off tomorrow!"

For over ten minutes, Xiao Chen only said this one sentence, then turned and left the room.

On the table, the three newly lit cigarettes emitted a steady stream of smoke, the light flickering.

"Brother Chen, shall we go out and sit for a while?"

Xiao Dao, seeing Xiao Chen's low mood, suggested.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Sure, let's go out and see if there are any pretty girls."

"Hehe, the girls who come here are of good quality."

Xiao Dao grinned, limped, and walked out.

Outside, the music hit them, making their hearts beat faster.

"Brother Dao!"

A waiter saw Xiao Dao and hurriedly greeted him.

"Bring two rounds of drinks to position one, and some fruit platters and snacks."

Xiao Dao instructed the waiter.

"Okay!"

At position one, Xiao Chen looked around and found that this was the best spot in the bar, both visually and environmentally.

"Why is it empty?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"Hehe, I knew you would come tonight, so I reserved it for you."

Xiao Dao smiled.

Soon, the waiter brought the fruit platters, snacks, and beer.

"Come, Brother Chen, let's have a drink."

Xiao Dao poured the drinks and raised his glass.

"Right."

The two clinked glasses, tilted their heads, and finished the beer. The cold liquid surged, feeling incredibly refreshing.

"Brother Chen, has Su Qing's trouble been resolved?"

Xiao Dao leaned back in the soft chair and asked casually.

"No, the other party hasn't shown up yet, and I'm still waiting. I think it will happen soon!"

Xiao Chen shook his head. Whoever the other party was, if they really wanted to harm Su Qing, he would strike with a fatal blow and eliminate the threat once and for all!

"Right, if you need anything, just call me."

"Okay."

The two chatted casually, drinking glass after glass.

"Brother, is this your friend?"

Suddenly, a fat man with a large gold chain around his neck walked over.

"He's a brother!" Xiao Dao emphasized, then introduced: "Brother Chen, this is Old Yang, from the Falcon Gang. My place is also under the protection of the Falcon Gang."

Hearing "Falcon Gang," Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, extending his hand: "Hello, I'm Xiao Chen."

"Being considered a brother by Xiao Dao is no small feat!" The fat man said meaningfully, shaking hands with Xiao Chen: "Just call me Old Yang or Fat Yang."

"Okay."

Xiao Chen nodded with a smile, his first impression of the fat man was not bad.

"Come, brother, let's have a drink!" Fat Yang raised his glass and clinked it with Xiao Chen's.

"I've known Old Yang for a while. He's doing well in the Falcon Gang, a middle-level leader." Xiao Chen smiled.

"Oh? That's impressive, Old Yang, which division are you in?"

"Blood Falcon Division."

"Right, Old Yang, how's the internal conflict in the Falcon Gang?"

"Still the same! The four divisions are wary of each other, in a stalemate! However, our Blood Falcon Division supports the Prince. How do you say it? All that is unjust will perish..." Fat Yang finished another beer and grinned.

"Justice? Ha, your Blood Falcon Division probably wants to use the prince to control the others, right?" Xiao Dao rolled his eyes.

"Xiao Dao, you can say that to me, but don't say it to others!" Fat Yang looked around and lowered his voice: "Let me tell you secretly, our old boss might have had this idea before, but not anymore."

"Why?"

"Yesterday afternoon, the leader's younger brother returned from out of town, bringing back several top-notch experts to support his nephew! This guy is ruthless, a former foreign soldier, and has been in the Golden Triangle... So, even if the leader dies, no one else will be able to cause any trouble!"

"So, there won't be any chaos?"

"Not necessarily. A new leader, new followers. When the Prince takes over, he will definitely use his own people! Not to mention the four division leaders all eyeing the leader's position, even the loyal ones might be replaced..." Fat Yang analyzed: "Perhaps, a bloody purge is about to begin!"

Xiao Chen found it somewhat amusing to watch. A second-rate gang, yet it had gathered several top-notch experts, truly a place of turmoil and change!

But who was behind this turmoil?

The three gangs? The seven families? Or someone else?

First update of the day, let's go!
