Super Soldier-Chapter 3 - Blood For Blood!
Su Xiaoxiao did as Xiao Bing instructed, and her mom recovered gradually. She noticed this, which made her feel relieved at last. However, she did not stop pressing on her mom’s chest over and over again.
Noticing that her mom’s complexion became better, Xiao Bing also felt relieved. It seemed that what he had learned from Zhang Yizhi was really useful in an emergency.
Looking around, he found that all of the windows were broken, the floor was full of broken glasses, and the desks and chairs were in a mess. It was obvious that the heart attack was not a coincidence.
There were three employees, all of whom were standing here. One of them was the middle-aged woman who had fed Su Xiaoxiao’s mom with pills, and the others two were 20-year-old girls.
Xiao Bing looked at the oldest woman and asked, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Wang Guizhi.”
“Auntie Wang, can you tell me what happened? Why did she have a heart attack?”
Thinking of it, Wang Guizhi and the two girls were all very angry. From her, Xiao Bing knew the name of this street—Minhang Road. Almost all of the stores here had good business because many universities were around.
Two years ago, a young man called Finger-breaker had come to this street and set a rule that all of the stores needed to pay him protection fee every month. But he broke the rule in this month. One of his employees came here and charged for the fees, but Finger-breaker came back again after several days. Wang Guizhi only said some words to him, but Finger-breaker directly smashed the restaurant. Consequently, she also had a heart attack and almost died.
Xiao Bing took a deep breath and recollected something. When he was in Dragon Teeth, Peiya risked her life only to make her compatriots live in a safe country. After retiring from the military service, they established Dragon Gate, and Peiya also served for people of her own accord. However, her mom was hurt by the people who she had been protecting. Moreover, her mom almost died!
No one knew that there was a murderous intent lurking in Xiao Bing’s heart!
At this moment, the ambulance arrived and stopped at the door. Some medical workers carried the stretcher in and put Su Xiaoxiao’s mom on it. Xiao Bing silently followed her to the ambulance, leaving the three employees to clean the scene.
Having experienced what happened in the restaurant, Su Xiaoxiao did not refuse him like before, but her attitude toward him was still indifferent. Her sister’s death brought her much pain, so she was depressed on the way to the hospital. The ambulance stopped in the hospital, and everybody got off except her. She did not realize it until a worker urged her to get off the ambulance. “Okay, I know.”
Xiao Bing reached out his hand and said softly, “Let me help you.”
“No, thanks,” she ignored his hands and jumped out of the car. “As for the news about your sister, I think it is better to conceal the truth at the moment. I am worried that she can’t stand more on this occasion.”
“I agree with you,” she said. “Besides, thank you for your help in the restaurant.”
“It is my pleasure,” he said and smiled. “I happened to learn some easy first-aid measures from my friend. You can learn it from me. Maybe it will help in the future.”
“But if you go away now and don’t disturb us anymore, I will be more grateful,” she said and nodded to him.
Xiao Bing smiled at her reluctantly. At this time, her mom was carried into the emergency center, and Xiao Bing and Su Xiaoxiao followed hurriedly.
Walking into the center, Xiao Bing took the initiative to pay the medical fees, and when he came back, the operation was ongoing. Su Xiaoxiao had a glance at him, and her eyes were a little complicated. “I come here in a hurry. I will pay back the money later.”
“It is not my money. This is the bank card of your sister. She put all her money in it. She had especially asked me to bring it to you before she died. It belongs to you now.”
When serving in the special army, Su Peiya had gotten a lot of wages and she also got plenty of rewards after carrying the mission in Long Men each time. The money included the two parts. The fees were very high each time because their missions were extremely dangerous. The money in the card was enough for an ordinary person to use for several lifetimes.
Su Peiya sent money back in daily life, but she dared not give too much each time, fearing that they would worry about her. Before dying, she asked Xiao Bing to send all the money back home.
Su Xiaoxiao refused it and pushed his hands back. “Is a card equal to my sister’s life? I don’t need it.”
“But the money belongs to your sister!” said Xiao Bing.
“I only want her to come back alive,” she shouted at him, loudly. Her eyes were swelling and she was on the verge of a breakdown. Seeing this, Xiao Bing sighed and put the card back, deciding to keep it for her for some days.
What they had been talking about made Su Xiaoxiao think of her dead sister again. She did not want to talk with Xiao Bing anymore. It was obvious that she blamed him for her sister’s death.
Xiao Bing was sitting on the bench silently while Su Xiaoxiao was walking up and down at the door of the emergency room. About one hour later, the door was opened inside and the doctor-in-charge walked out. He took off the mask and took a deep breath. “Who is the family of the patient?” he asked.
“I am her daughter.”
“We saved her life in time. In addition, what you did was right. The patient is safe now.”
Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and felt that the stone in her heart fell down on the floor in the end. “Thank you so much, doctor,” she said, gratefully.
“But we found something unusual in her body.”
Hearing it, Su Xiaoxiao’s face became pale at once. She was about to ask why but was stopped by the doctor. “Don’t worry too much. We will have a check carefully during this period.”
Su Xiaoxiao expressed her gratitude and her mom was taken out from the operation room. When passing by Xiao Bing and her daughter, she looked at the young boy and said thank you for him slightly. In the next time, she was taken to the ward.
The nurse looked at them and asked Su Xiaoxiao. “Is he your boyfriend? The patient was saved just now and she needs to have a rest now. Only one of you needs to stay with her tonight.”
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little ashamed, and she was intended to explain the relationship between them, but Xiao Bing talked firstly. “So I’ll go first. Call me if something happens.”
Su Xiaoxiao held the business card and glared at him, but Xiao Bing did not mind and walked toward the stairs. Seeing his back, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little complicated.
A man wearing a doctor’s overall was walking upstairs, passing by Xiao Bing. But Xiao Bing reached out his hands and grasped the man’s neck suddenly, as fast as lightning.
Xiao Bing’s motion was fast as well as unexpected, so a Kungfu expert could not parry. But the result was that that man made it. The most unexpected was what happened next. Xiao Bing pat gently on the chest of that man, which made his back bump on the wall.
He was dragged down the stairs and into a restroom swiftly. There was no one else inside, but Xiao Bing closed the door and locked it.
“How long have you followed me, Lil Bei?”
Lil Bei was a 20-year-old man whose skin was fine-boned. He had a touch of his chest, wearing a reluctant smile, and said. “Captain, you hit me so heavily. Look at my dressing. How did you recognize me? But you are my leader, so I think it is not difficult for you.”
“I left Dragon Teeth a long time ago,” Xiao Bing replied, frowning.
Hearing this, Lil Bei felt a little frustrated, but he became happy and smiled again. “Cap…..Brother Bing, Captain Lin told me that you need a man to help you.”
“So you introduced yourself?”
Lil Bei had a touch of his own hair, feeling embarrassed, and smiling. “I had arrived in this city several hours earlier. After that, I was standing at the door of Peiya. But I saw you went out and came to the hospital, so I followed you.”
“Su Peiya was dead. Someone in Long Men betrayed us, but I don’t know who he is. Su Peiya had told me to seek the clue from her little sister before dying. Maybe we can find the identity of the renegade.”
“Su Xiaoxiao?” asked Lil Bei, astonished. “She is just an ordinary college student. She is pretty, the most attractive one in her university. But she has nothing special except her appearance.”
Xiao Bing nodded and felt a little confused. “Long Men did a great deal some months ago. Before going to Somalia, I had predicted the mission would be more difficult to finish. But what was unexpected was that someone hidden was able to know each of my plans. Later, a man contacted Peiya secretly and told her there was a traitor in Long Men. So Peiya went out to meet that man, but two of them were hit by surprise. When I arrived, Peiya was going to die, and that man was dead. Luckily, that man had told Peiya that the proof about the traitor was around Su Xiaoxiao. But Su Xiaoxiao does not know this herself.”
“So you came here for this?” asked Lil Bei.
“Two reasons. First, I must find the traitor from Su Xiaoxiao. Second, I need to protect her well before finding the killer. But I can’t stay with her all the time, so I want you to protect her secretly. I am the man in charge and you help me on the sly. You need to reform me at once if meeting some troubles.”
“I got it,” Lil Bei said, with tears in the eyes, but still smiling. “I joined Long Men because of your personal charisma. I regard you as my brother and see Peiya as my sister. Both of you left the army, and I wanted to follow you, but you refused me. Now, she was not alive. I must try my best to find the killer and revenge for her.”
“You are a good man,” said Xiao Bing, patting him on his shoulder. “It is better that you come. You are young but have a good relationship with Peiya, so I trust you. From now, you are carrying out the mission under the rose, and I do this under the sun. We need to protect Su Xiaoxiao, not make her killed by others.”
“How about her mom?”
Xiao Bing thought for a while and continued. “I think she does not need protection. The killer’s target is Su Xiaoxiao because the proof is related to her. Killing her mom will make his identity exposed. In a word, you must protect her when I go away.”
“I got it, sir,” said Lil Bei, biting his lips and nodding.
Looking at his eyes with tears, Xiao Bing sighed. “Peiya has gone. She always missed you. You can cry out if you feel sad.”
He shook his head and held the tears.
“I’ll go first.” “You will be very busy during these days. We need to do this in turn. Don’t let Su Xiaoxiao notice you.”
While Xiao Bing was walking out of the restroom, he heard the sob inside, with the door locked. “This kid… I won’t let you down for too long. Blood for blood!”
