"One million for a life, that’s worth it," Hong Lao Liu chuckled.
The other men laughed along with him, and then one of them said, "Sixth Brother, don’t forget, there’s also a young woman."
The four of them exchanged lewd grins, and Hong Lao Liu coughed and said, "I’ll come by your room tonight and see what kind of a woman has caught your fancy."
"Don’t worry, Sixth Brother, she’ll definitely satisfy you. I’ve conquered this woman, she’s become my slave, you can do whatever you want with her," the man laughed.
The group shared knowing smiles. Such a treatment was indeed enjoyable. From now on, having this slave would provide endless pleasure—commanding her to do anything was exciting just to think about.
Right after Xiang Yu and his companions drove away, a large crowd suddenly emerged from among the surrounding people, pulling the driver away and driving the wrecked vehicle off.
It was only after they had left that the police arrived. Upon finding nothing at the scene, they quickly departed.
Xiang Yu drove directly to the hospital, the only thought in his mind being to save the two brothers in the back.
Halfway there, Sun Bo regained consciousness but quickly fainted again upon seeing Xiang Yu at the wheel.
"How are they doing?" Xiang Yu asked from the front seat.
"Xiao Xuan hasn’t woken up," Tie Zhuzi replied, holding them both.
At that moment, Tie Zhuzi was suddenly filled with fear. Though he often bickered and joked around with Xiao Xuan, seeing Xiao Xuan lying in his arms made him very upset.
An indescribable pain filled his heart. He would rather it were himself lying there.
"Xiao Xuan, please, you must not be in any danger," Tie Zhuzi silently prayed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Xiang Yu carrying Xiao Xuan and Tie Zhuzi holding Sun Bo rushed towards the emergency room.
The emergency room was filled with people in line, though most were not facing life-threatening conditions—casualties of car accidents with broken arms, and some with broken legs from accidents.
Seeing Xiang Yu and Tie Zhuzi entering, everyone remained indifferent, perhaps having become accustomed to it in the hospital.
"Doctor, doctor..." Xiang Yu charged into the operating room with Xiao Xuan, Tie Zhuzi following.
The doctors had just finished surgery and were seated, resting.
Seeing Xiang Yu storm in, everyone inside was startled, quickly standing upright and donning their masks.
"What are you doing?" one person stepped forward and coldly asked Xiang Yu.
"Help," Xiang Yu pleaded, holding Xiao Xuan, his eyes full of desperation.
"You need to register first. We’ll call your number shortly," the person said angrily.
"They’re in danger," Xiang Yu implored.
"Who out there isn’t in danger? In this department, everyone is hurt. You need to leave," the person said without even glancing at Xiao Xuan.
Xiang Yu ignored the man and placed Xiao Xuan on a stretcher. He approached the doctor and directly held a knife to the doctor’s throat.
Xiang Yu’s knife was sharp. A slight pressure left a blood mark on the doctor’s neck.
"What are you doing? Let him go," the doctors were terrified, their previous laziness vanished, replaced by tension.
"Save him," Xiang Yu shouted.
"Alright, alright, we’ll save him. Just don’t harm him," one doctor said, hurriedly signaling others to move the patient who had just undergone surgery and then placing Xiao Xuan on the surgical table.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu released the man. The doctors and nurses glanced at Xiang Yu and then resumed their work.
Just then, the operating room door was suddenly forcefully opened.
"It should be my brother’s turn for surgery now. What’s going on? Why aren’t you following the queue?" a man demanded aggressively.
The man was tall, with a tattoo on his neck, clearly not someone decent.
The doctors and nurses stopped upon witnessing the intrusion, unable to focus on surgery if disturbed.
"Who dares to cut in line?" the man provocatively looked at Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu felt numb, and looked at the doctors, saying, "Don’t stop, just proceed."
The doctors then bowed their heads and resumed their work.
Seeing Xiang Yu ignore him, the man walked over and grabbed Xiang Yu’s collar.
"Is it you who cut in line?" the man asked, glaring with wide eyes.
The doctors and nurses performing surgery glanced at Xiang Yu, stifling sneers, thinking, "Earlier so aggressive, and now quiet facing someone even tougher."
At this moment, Tie Zhuzi had placed Sun Bo on another bed and removed his coat, ready to rush over.
Xiang Yu stopped him, signaling him to stay with Xiao Xuan. Xiang Yu, on the other hand, pulled the man outside.
"Where’s your brother?" Xiang Yu’s gaze turned icy and hollow, appearing intimidating, like a beast.
The man was stunned by Xiang Yu’s gaze, realizing humans could possess such frightening eyes.
If he had been on the battlefield, he might have known such a gaze could only be acquired through harsh battle experiences.
It was an indifference to death and ruthlessness towards opponents.
The man shook his head, dragging Xiang Yu, "Here’s my brother."
Xiang Yu looked at the patient lying there, seeing only minor arm injuries, nothing serious.
Moreover, he occupied all the seats, leaving others standing around. Clearly, these brothers were unreasonable.
"What are you looking at, courting death?" the man’s brother raised his head and glared at Xiang Yu.
"Your arm is fine, you shouldn’t be waiting here," Xiang Yu said coldly.
"Fuck off, we want to wait here. You think you’re some big shot?" the man spewed vulgarities, nearly every word filled with abuse.
The surrounding patients saw the brothers’ demeanor and instinctively moved away.
The standing man, even more domineering, grabbed Xiang Yu’s collar, saying, "Quickly get the person inside out, or I’ll make you lie down and see how it feels."
"Brother, teach him a lesson. He needs some discipline," his sitting brother said.
"Alright," the man nodded vigorously, grabbing Xiang Yu’s collar with one hand and forming a fist with the other, striking Xiang Yu’s stomach hard.
At this moment, Xiang Yu felt drained. He didn’t want to engage, but the situation demanded action.
The man felt satisfied with his punch, expecting to flatten Xiang Yu...
