"How is he?" Ryōsei asked the leader of the group of doctors standing in a corner after a series of meticulous examinations.
"He is still weak and suffers from hemophilia so he will need a blood transfusion. Also he lacks sufficient nutrients in his body and will be strictly monitored for now." The doctor slowly let go of his breath when he saw the man sitting beside the patient nod thoughtfully.
"No need to look for blood donors. Take mine instead." The man said.
"Okay, sir. We will take our leave." The doctor tried to be strong but he knew that everyone could hear his heart beating out of his ċhėst.
Ever since this set of patients had been admitted into this hospital, it had only opened the doors of fear and pandemonium to everyone here. Scary and dangerous men entered in and out hospital like they were protecting the Mafia King. Not too long ago, even their dear chairman was kidnapped!
He was slightly worried seeing the powerful families lodging here. He was worried about the other patients who could be casualties if a war broke out. The men were pleaded with to conceal their weapons but it didn't stop the aura of death that followed them when they marched down the hall.
"Go." That single word sent a shiver down his spine, spurring him into action as he and the other doctors left the room in a rush.
After the men left, Ryōsei walked to his master's side. His boss was staring at Jihai, ȧssessing the boy in deep thoughts.
"Have you found anything?"
Ryōsei answered perfunctorily. "We have investigated everything. We caught the men responsible and sent them to Black Coin. They were sent by Wen Honglin."
The man lifted an eyebrow. "Wen Honglin?"
"The Wen family has always been in charge of the law sector of the country. Even the Minister of Justice has give them face. They control every legal action in this country. They cannot be underestimated."
"I see." The man stroked his black beard.
"Master, what should we do?"
The man smiled before he turned to face his subordinate. "We came here just to retrieve him and that has been accomplished already." He raised his hand when he saw Ryōsei about to protest. "However that doesn't mean we should let this slide. Come closer, let me tell you how to proceed."
After a while, Ryōsei stepped back only to nod. "I understand, Master."
He turned his head sharply to the door, his eyes turning cold when he sensed an unwanted presence around him . "Come in!"
The place turned silent until a young woman dressed in a white lab coat entered the room, her eyes widening at the two strangers in the room. "H-Hello, I am here to see Jihai."
Ryōsei glared at the woman who was eavesdropping at their conversation. "Who are you?"
"I am Jihai's friend, Menxiang. I work here so I heard what happened to him." She said warily.
Her sixth sense told her that the two men weren't ordinary men. She ran here immediately she heard that some unknown men made a visit to Jihai.
She was still wondering if she call the police but she tried to keep a calm expression. Growing up in a wealthy families, she had seen her own share of people in life so she could instinctively recognize this men as dangerous men.
The man sitting on the bed smiled, gesturing her to a chair. Keeping her guard up, she walked to the chair and sat down staring at the man.
The man seemed not to be daunted by the cautious look the girl had and continued to smile. "Its so nice to see one of Jihai's friends."
"Who are you?" She decided to be straightforward, shifting her eyes to the man beside him since she had never seen them with Jihai before.
Ryōsei kept a straight face though he felt his heart skip. It was a reckless move, he chided his boss silently to reveal themselves so quickly without
proper deliberation.
If their enemies found out.....
Ryōsei closed his eyes in dismay, quietly counting the bullets in his gun when he heard his boss speak. "We were just passing by when we saw him faint in the hallway so we brought him here."
Menxiang seemed to visibly relax, a smile breaking through her lips as she held her hand out to shake. "Thank you so much for what you did. I have so busy, so I didn't have time to visit. Fortunately you found him." She explained.
The man took her hand in his own gently, making him look like an harmless elder. "No need. It is good to always give help when it is needed. It is my pŀėȧsurė."
Ryōsei cringed inwardly.
