Chen Guozhong inserted his fingers deeply into his hair and buried his head between his knees.
He remained in this position for two hours.
His head was still wrapped with gauze, and his heart was filled with pain and regret.
Just this morning, he was full of confidence and personally escorted the tainted witness Huang Tingzhong to the court to testify against Wang Bao. But on the way, the car was hit, and Wang Bao's men stabbed a knife deeply into the witness's face in front of him. in the heart.
And he watched all this, but could do nothing.
Among the three witnesses, only the youngest daughter survived, and the driver died on the spot.
And all this could have been avoided.
It’s darkest before dawn…
When he thought of these words, Chen Guozhong's heart was as sharp as a knife.
He Xie reminded him, but he failed to understand the meaning of this sentence.
He thought he had a winning chance and would be able to bring Wang Bao to justice immediately. But just when he was most proud, Wang Bao took action. As soon as he took action, all his previous efforts were wasted and he was doomed.
He hated himself for being so stupid.
The door to the operating room opened.
Chen Guozhong came to his senses and hurriedly greeted him.
"How is she?" he asked anxiously.
The doctor took off his mask and said: "Sir Chen, the little girl's injury is not serious. She just has a broken leg bone in her left leg and needs to rest for three months. In addition, the wound requires more than 20 stitches, which will leave scars in the future."
Chen Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little exhausted.
"Where are my brothers and the others?" Chen Guozhong asked again.
"It's just a concussion. It will heal after a period of rest," the doctor replied.
After a pause, the doctor said again: "Sir Chen, I just got your report. Come into the room and talk about it."
Chen Guozhong shook his head: "No, I'm very busy."
He pointed to the back of his head: "Do you want to check the wound again?"
The doctor said: "The wound is not a big problem."
"Then I won't come for a follow-up visit next week." Chen Guozhong said this before leaving to see Lu Guanhua and the others.
But the doctor stopped him again.
"Sir Chen, it was found that you have a tumor in your brain, which is malignant." The doctor said with a serious look.
Chen Guozhong was stunned.
At this moment, not only did he feel no fear or despair, but he actually felt a sense of relief and relief.
But then he thought of Wang Bao, the dead witness, and the little girl in the operating room.
He was silent for a while and then asked: "Is there any cure?"
"The chances are low, but that doesn't mean there's no hope," the doctor said.
Does that mean there is no cure?
Chen Guozhong suddenly wanted to laugh, but felt that it was not too serious.
So he had no choice but to nod solemnly: "Understood."
He pointed to the door of the operating room: "Please let me know when she wakes up."
After that, he turned around and left.
He walked very quickly, because from that moment on, he began to feel that his time was precious.
He Xie welcomed a guest when it was getting dark.
Not a customer of the grocery store.
"Uncle Da, wow, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become handsome again!" Alai smiled exaggeratedly, holding two bottles of foreign wine in his hand.
"I came in a hurry, so I just brought two bottles of XO to Uncle Da to rinse your mouth. Don't mind it." Alai put the things on the window sill and said to He Xie inside with a smile.
He Xie glanced at his newly shaved head and then at the top of his head, with a strange look in his eyes.
"Go away." He shook his head, "I won't do your business."
Alai was startled and shouted: "Isn't it right, Uncle Da? We are old friends, so you are so disrespectful?"
He Xie sighed: "It's hard to get your luck back, but if you continue to do business with you, people will die."
Alai smiled bitterly: "Uncle Da, in the past two days, I have been shitting and sitting on a collapsed toilet. I have choked on drinking water and have been hospitalized. I have to fall a few times every day. I am bound to have an accident while driving. I am really bad."
He cupped his fist at He Xie and shook it vigorously: "It's my fault for being ignorant, otherwise I wouldn't have been so stupid last time and would have given you half of my luck."
He Xie chuckled: "Do you think it's easy to ask me to appear? My appearance fee is very high."
Alai looked around, put his head in and said mysteriously to He Xie: "It's still half luck. It's a very simple business. Are you interested?"
"Not you?" He Xie asked.
"Of course, I haven't lived enough." Alai lowered his voice, "It's Ashin, you've seen him, he's in some trouble."
"He..." He Xie thought about it again and knew what was going on.
He Xie has no interest in participating in such trivial matters as being unable to control his lower body, fooling around with the boss's woman, and having his family law enforced. Even if he is lucky enough to make money, he doesn't bother to care about it.
"I won't do this business." He Xie shook his head and refused.
"Uncle Da, aren't you so heartless?" Alai immediately shouted, "Uncle Da, please help us. If our lives weren't at stake, I wouldn't come to beg you personally, Uncle Da!"
"Do you have a lot of face?" He Xie smiled half-heartedly, "Alai, that little brother of yours has a peach-shaped face and red brows. Sooner or later, he will get into big trouble because of women. I have no interest in caring about what's in his crotch.
It’s troublesome, so just save it.”
Alai had a ghostly look on his face and was dumbfounded: "Damn! Do you know all this? You are really a god, Uncle Da!"
He Xie hummed and smiled, took out a cigarette, threw one to Alai, lit another one for himself, and puffed out a puff of smoke comfortably.
After the shock, Alai felt helpless. He Xie had said it so clearly. He knew that it was useless to say anything. He could not force such a strange person. It was not like he had not heard about Wang Bao.
Sighing, Alai said: "Forget it, just treat me as if I'm here to see you, old man, and pay homage to you by the way."
After a pause, he asked curiously: "Uncle Da, what do you think of me? I mean, is my life good?"
"Crazy line!" He Xie smiled disdainfully, "If you are lucky, will you be Young and Dangerous?"
"That's right!" Alai tilted his head and laughed to himself.
"But you can be considered a qualified young and Dangerous boy." He Xie smiled, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will die for your brothers in the future."
Alai was stunned for a long time and said: "Damn, I knew I was so loyal!"
Immediately he stopped talking and started smoking silently.
After finishing smoking a cigarette, he suddenly said: "I'm leaving, Uncle Da. I'll see you another day."
He looked very worried.
He Xie hummed without raising his head.
Alai went out, but within five minutes, he hurried back, squatted in front of the recliner, and nervously said to He Xie: "Uncle Da, can you tell me which broom star you died for? I'll stay away from him!"
"..."
"Is it Ashin? Isn't it Uncle Da? Mad, I know this bastard is a little broom star, I don't care about his affairs!"
He Xie looked at him expressionlessly.
Alai's face was full of tangles, and he murmured: "If you don't care, I, a big boss, will definitely be scolded by others? Oh, that's not possible either..."
He looked at He Xie again and said eagerly: "Uncle Da, isn't it Ashin?"
