… …
A private hospital in Lin City.
"Cough cough… my head hurts so much. Where am I…?"
Lin Qifan opened his eyes.
What greeted his eyes was a snow-white ceiling, his nose could smell a faint scent of disinfectant, and he heard the "drip-drip" sound of medical instruments.
"You're awake?"
A beautiful young nurse walked over to change Lin Qifan's IV drip.
"So pretty… No, cough cough, Miss, where am I now, and what happened?"
"You're in the hospital now. You were the most severely injured among the hostages. Everyone else at most suffered a scare. You were slashed over a dozen times by the assailant and it's a miracle you're alive."
After speaking, the young nurse scrutinized Lin Qifan, unable to help but let out a giggle.
"Sorry, although I've received professional training, you look so ridiculous right now, I'm sorry."
Lin Qifan was stunned and turned to look at the mirror on the bedside table.
His originally slender figure seemed to have been injected with a growth stimulant; his muscles were irregularly swollen, and tightly bound by bandages, they looked incredibly pumped.
The most comical part was his pointed head.
To put it more vividly, he looked like the 'Little Head Daddy' of a double-door refrigerator.
"How did I turn into this? No, I remember now!"
Lin Qifan touched his pointed head as memories flooded into his mind.
"I remember I went to save Qing'er then, and then I found Qing'er was being humiliated by the leader of the robbers, and I fainted from extreme anger…"
"Wait… Qing'er, that's right!" Lin Qifan grabbed the young nurse's sleeve and anxiously asked:
"How is the Shen Family's young lady? Is she very sad now and in desperate need of support?"
The young nurse frowned, unable to fully comprehend Lin Qifan's crazy talk.
"Uh… I remember the news said that the Shen Family's young lady seemed to be fine, right? Sad? I wouldn't know about that if you ask me."
"Fine?" Lin Qifan was momentarily stunned: "That's impossible. When I rushed in to save her, I clearly heard…"
"Pfft, you? Rushing in to save someone?"
The young nurse chuckled: "Don't be silly, you were also rescued by Jiang Shao."
"Jiang Shao?"
Lin Qifan frowned: "Which Jiang Shao? I clearly saved everyone. I took care of all those robbers by myself."
"Are you sick?"
The young nurse rolled her eyes: "Of course it's Jiang Yu of the Jiang Family. He's a legendary Ancient Martial Artist. He rushed in and took care of all the robbers in no time. You were also rescued by him when he called 120. Remember to thank him when you're discharged."
"Impossible! I still have gunshot wounds…"
Lin Qifan tore open his patient gown, surprised to find that all the gunshot wounds on his muscles had disappeared, leaving only the wounds from his fight with the Bai Family martial artists.
"Don't be silly, if you really took a bullet, you'd be dead already."
The young nurse frowned, very displeased with Lin Qifan's behavior of damaging the patient gown.
"Oh, and this is the bill. Jiang Shao helped you pay 5% of the deposit and used the best medicine to treat your knife wounds. Since it's imported medicine, it's not covered by medical insurance.
When will you pay the rest? It's a total of one hundred six thousand seven hundred twenty yuan."
"I… I don't have money."
"No money?"
The young nurse frowned: "If you don't have money, why are you getting treatment?"
… …
Like a stray dog, Lin Qifan was kicked out of the hospital.
At the same time, he also incurred a debt of 100,000 yuan. His bank cards and credit cards were all frozen, and if he couldn't pay it back within a month, he would face a lawsuit.
"What exactly happened… Why did it turn out like this!"
Now, whenever Lin Qifan thought deeply, his brain would turn to mush, and he couldn't connect the information in his mind to deduce the mastermind behind it all.
"Damn it, damn it… It must be the side effect of that pill!"
Lin Qifan was furious. He touched the pointed top of his head and instinctively thought of Jiang Yu.
His intuition told him that Jiang Yu was behind all of this.
"Evidence… Damn it, forget it, what do I need evidence for? I'll just beat him up and force it out of him."
But before heading to school, he had to settle the debt first.
Lin Qifan called Shen Wuwei:
"Hello, this month's salary…"
"Get lost! You still have the nerve to ask me for your salary?"
At his desk, Shen Wuwei answered the phone, and seeing it was Lin Qifan, he immediately became furious and started cursing.
"What the hell did I hire you for? You couldn't even handle a few petty robbers. If Jiang Yu hadn't been there, I don't even dare to imagine what would have happened to my precious daughter!"
Lin Qifan immediately argued loudly: "Uncle Shen, I took care of all those thugs. Jiang Yu is just a freeloading dog. He must have taken credit for my work after I killed all the robbers and fainted!"
"Take credit for your ass! If you really took care of the robbers, wouldn't the Ancient Martial Arts Special Task Force have found out?"
"Jiang Yu…"
Lin Qifan wanted to say something more, but Shen Wuwei directly hung up the phone.
When he called back, he found he had been blacklisted.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Lin Qifan was furious, stomping on his phone and crushing it: "All of you are blind fools!
I'm going to find Jiang Yu right now. If he dares to take credit for my work, he'd better have a life to take!"
… …
The next day, Jiang Yu woke up early.
In a small corner of the bed, less than a square meter, Tu Youqing was curled up like a kitten wrapped in a blanket, breathing evenly, still asleep.
"Jiang Yu, you're going to kill my whole family, I'll bite you to death…"
Hearing Tu Youqing's sleep talk, Jiang Yu silently pulled back the covers.
"Wake up, wake up!"
"Wuwu… Let me sleep a little longer…"
In her lazy state, Tu Youqing was like a cat-worm, wiggling a few times and burrowing into Jiang Yu's blanket to continue sleeping.
After all, yesterday night's great fortune had kept her awake all night, and she only fell into a daze in the early morning. In this state, she was even more unwilling to get up.
Jiang Yu smirked and leaned close to her ear, whispering: "I took photos yesterday, you know~"
"I'll bite you to death!"
Tu Youqing pounced to bite Jiang Yu, but the weak little imp couldn't do anything but get drool all over him.
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
Seeing Tu Youqing about to cry, to avoid attracting his mom, Jiang Yu held up three fingers and swore:
"If I took photos, my dick will shrink ten centimeters."
That kind of thing was a bit too beastly, so of course Jiang Yu wouldn't possibly take such a video to threaten Tu Youqing.
Half an hour later
He entered the classroom.
"Jiang Yu, I want to ask you something!"
The pointed-headed Lin Qifan slammed his palm on the desk, his face grim.
