At the same time, in another hospital's private ward, Jiang Tao was lying on his bed. His hands were covered in a thick layer of plaster and he looked exhausted.
Duan Lingfei's kick had shattered his arms and bones. It would take him at least half a year to regain his mobility, and it would be almost impossible to recover to his previous level of competition.
It could be said that from then on, he basically bid farewell to the industry of bodyguards.
He had been prepared for his current ending on the first day of his career. However, he still found it hard to accept that he had somehow lost to a university student.
As for his boss, Tian Hui, who was sitting next to his sickbed, Jin Yunting and Luo Zhiliang, who were standing behind him with a complicated expression.
On the television opposite of the sickbed, there was a video of Duan Lingfei and Jiang Tingxiao fighting in the arena using his phone.
Because it was a camera on his phone and he was quite a distance away, the clarity of the image was not high. However, the moment Duan Lingfei broke the rope on the stage with a kick, Jin Yunting and Luo Zhiliang were still shocked.
"Heavens, how can he possess such powerful strength?"
"Is he even human?"
The two of them covered their mouths at the same time, a trace of fear flashing across their eyes.
That was why when they first heard that Tian Hui had sent him to probe for Duan Lingfei, the two were very happy. They felt that unless Duan Lingfei had borrowed Liu Yanxia's power, there was no way that they could get rid of him.
He didn't expect that he would actually see such a perverse scene, which completely overturned the impression they had of Duan Lingfei.
"I bought this video from a live audience. There's no possibility of it being fake. Jiang Tingxiao's hands were fractured. This is also a serious injury. It seems like this kid is really well-hidden." Tian Hui took out his cigar and lit it up, and then took a drag. As for the injured Jiang Tao, he did not dare show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face.
"You fought with him. Tell me about it."
"Yes." He hesitated for a moment before saying, "During my fight with him, I felt that his technique was very ordinary. It didn't seem like he had been training for a long time, but his reaction speed and explosive force was much stronger than an ordinary person. He was just like a wild beast."
"Beast? It doesn't look like it! "
"Yes, your subordinate is also curious about this. His body doesn't look like it's been training for a long time, but even the top experts that your subordinate has seen in the underground boxing arena have never had such strength."
This point was not a lie. He had mixed himself within the Jianghai City's underground boxing arena, and his result was not bad either. No one had ever been able to break both of his hands with a single kick before!
"Alright, I understand." Tian Hui nodded and stood up. "After you've recovered from your sickness, go and collect the 200 thousand from Finance and then return home to rest for a while. After that, I will send you to Jinquan University, don't tell anyone else."
"Yes." Although he was unwilling, he knew Tian Hui's methods. He also knew that there were some people that he could not afford to offend.
After he finished explaining these things, Tian Hui brought Jin Yunting and Luo Zhiliang out of the sickroom. As Jiang Tao was severely injured and was tired from talking for so long, he decided to take a break.
However, just as he was about to close his eyes, he heard a light laugh coming from outside the door. Then, the door was pushed open with a creak, and a soft figure slipped in like a cat.
"Who?" It was as if a spring had been placed on his buttocks as he sat up straight.
It was a woman about 1.7 meters tall. She wore a ponytail, a white shirt, and jeans. Judging from her attire, she seemed like a girl next door.
The only difference was that she wore a dark red bat mask that covered the upper half of her face. Instead, it gave her a strange charm.
The girl didn't say anything. She just tilted her head and looked at him.
"Who the hell are you?" His entire body tensed up as waves of cold energy rushed up his spine. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
At this moment, Jiang Xiushan's heart felt as if it was soaked in cold water; it was ice-cold.
Was the boss trying to silence him? Or were the people from Duan Lingfei's side here for revenge? What was the identity of this woman?
From the way she walked just now, he could tell that her qinggong was quite extraordinary. Not to mention his hands being crippled, even if he was at his peak condition, he still wouldn't be a match for her!
"Save …" He wanted to call for help, but just as he was about to say something, a cold dagger was pressed against his throat. The cold air made all the hair on his body stand on end.
"Rao..." Spare me, I'll say anything, anything. " Jiang Tao swallowed his saliva with much difficulty and said with a bitter expression on his face.
"Eldest Senior Brother, I haven't even forced a confession, and you're already like this? "He's too useless." the girl said suddenly, and the dagger in her hand disappeared as if by magic.
"Dan Dan, is that you?" Jiang Tao said in astonishment.
"Who else could it be other than me?" The girl took off the mask on her face, revealing a delicate and pretty face. With a sly smile, she sat down beside the bed.
Her name was Tang Dandan, and she had just turned twenty this year. She had taken in the same master as Jiang Tingyu Tao, so she could be considered his junior sister.
Although he was the eldest senior brother, his talent in martial arts was average. After studying for a few years, he left his apprenticeship and started to participate in some fighting competitions. He then joined the Heavenly Horse consortium and became Tian Hui's bodyguard.
However, Tang Dandan was different from Jiang Tao, he was a natural talent in martial arts. After learning under his master for a few years, Tang Dandan's strength had already surpassed the eldest senior brother, who was older than him.
Jiang Tingxiao had left the sect early, but in these past few years, Tang Dandan had always been by his master's side, gaining the inheritance of his master. Even after his master had passed away last year, Tang Dandan had still come back with Jianghai after his master's funeral arrangements.
Because of his relationship with Jiang Tingxiao, Tang Dandan also entered the Heavenly Horse consortium and became a bodyguard.
Therefore, she was immediately taken in by one of the three Young Masters of Jianghai City, Tian Binn, and became his personal bodyguard.
However, Tang Dandan herself didn't really like this lifestyle and felt that it was not challenging at all. Hence, after working for a while, she took the initiative to resign, becoming a "freelancer".
Bodyguards, fighters, and even some "black" professions that couldn't be exposed to the light, she was in high spirits as she gradually gained her reputation in some small circles.
Because she always wore that dark red bat mask when doing things, the people of the martial arts world gave her the nickname of "Blood Bat".
Of course, these things were not known to Jiang Xiushan.
