Twisted Dreams-Chapter 330 - 399: Patients at Angel Harbor Hospital
In the early dawn, two strange patients arrived at Angel Harbor Hospital.
One man was unconscious and was carried in by another man.
Both of them had severe injuries.
At first glance, these were obviously from a fight, and surely a violent one.
What was surprising was the man carrying the other, although the most seriously injured, with a frightening hole in his abdomen.
No one knew how he managed to endure the pain and carry someone to the hospital.
The hospital immediately called the Sheriff’s office and quickly arranged for doctors to start treatment.
These two were Wei Ming and Cao Yi.
Cao Yi didn’t even know how he managed to carry Wei Ming to the hospital.
All he remembered was nearly biting off half his tongue to stay conscious.
The next morning, Cao Yi woke up.
He was wrapped up like a mummy.
Officials from the Sheriff’s office came for a routine questioning.
Cao Yi just cursed the two young sheriffs from the Public Security Bureau to "get lost".
The two sheriffs were displeased but saw Cao Yi pull out his work ID.
Only then did they realize that the man in the hospital bed was their superior, Cao Yi, the director of the South Sea Public Security Bureau.
The young nurse was unaware of Cao Yi’s identity, but seeing how respectful the sheriffs were toward him, she understood he was someone important and took extra care of Cao Yi.
Cao Yi searched around but couldn’t find his phone.
The nurse quickly fetched his phone from the table for him and asked, blushing, if she could have his WeChat.
Cao Yi asked:
"Are you married?"
The young nurse shook her head.
Cao Yi asked again:
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
The nurse’s eyes darted as she shook her head:
"No."
Cao Yi smirked casually.
No boyfriend at all?
That’s really no fun at all.
Cao Yi picked up his phone and saw lots of missed calls.
He called Wei Na back first, telling her that Wei Ming was injured and she could come to the hospital to care for him.
Wei Na hastily hung up the phone.
She seemed anxious to rush to the hospital.
Cao Yi’s eyes dimmed slightly.
Why didn’t she ask how he was doing?
Cao Yi then called He Jingguo.
There was no answer.
Cao Yi looked at the time. It was already morning; He Jingguo should be awake.
Cao Yi tried calling Secretary Zhuang, but still, there was no answer.
A bad feeling sprouted in Cao Yi’s heart.
Just then, the phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID. It was Zhang Xiaoyi.
Cao Yi frowned; he didn’t have much interaction with Zhang Xiaoyi.
He answered the call.
Zhang Xiaoyi said:
"Why didn’t you answer the phone last night?"
Cao Yi replied: 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"I was in a fight last night."
Zhang Xiaoyi paused, then said in a low voice:
"Director He is no longer with us."
Cao Yi’s hand trembled slightly. He asked calmly:
"Oh. What happened?"
Zhang Xiaoyi said:
"The Five Black Classes did it."
Cao Yi asked:
"Weren’t you in the Imperial Capital last night?"
Zhang Xiaoyi responded:
"Something happened on Shu Mountain last night, the Five Black Classes attacked, so I returned to South Sea."
Cao Yi asked:
"Any survivors?"
Zhang Xiaoyi said:
"No, you should send someone to Shu Mountain to collect the bodies today."
Last night, Zhang Xiaoyi unleashed a massacre.
He chose not to leave anyone alive for questioning.
The disciples of Shu Mountain were all delivered by their parents, and now he didn’t know how to face those parents.
If he’d known Elder He was also assassinated by the Five Black Classes, he might have left someone alive.
Cao Yi said:
"Understood, thank you."
Zhang Xiaoyi said:
"There’s one more thing. Director He mentioned to me that if he were gone, he hoped you would take over as the Director of the Security Administration."
Cao Yi’s lips quivered slightly. He feigned indifference:
"Oh? That old man still wants to find me something to do after death, huh?
Even if I wanted the job, Zheng Qian wouldn’t allow it."
Zhang Xiaoyi said:
"The Zhang Family and the Liu Family will support you.
Well, I will support you too.
I don’t like Zheng Qian."
Cao Yi hung up the phone, his eyes revealing a rare sorrow.
As he unraveled the bandages around him, he murmured:
"Old man, you screwed me over in college, at work, and even after dying, you want to do it again."
Extraordinary beings recover quickly, and he, being a Demon, even faster. Wounds that would keep an ordinary person bedridden for half a year were almost healed now.
But the penetrating wound in his abdomen still ached, so the bandages remained.
Cao Yi flexed his wrist, talking to himself:
"Alright then, you were my teacher after all, so I’ll lend you a hand and reluctantly take the position of Director of the Security Administration."
Cao Yi looked out the window and continued to speak to himself:
"Still, as your student, let me first avenge you."
Instinct told Cao Yi that He Jingguo’s death wasn’t that simple.
His mind spun rapidly, like a high-speed, precision machine.
After some time, he mumbled a few words:
"Wei Ming, you absolute fool."
Cao Yi got out of bed and walked towards the door.
........
Inside the ward.
Wei Na was feeding Wei Ming porridge, her face full of concern:
"How did this happen? Did Cao Yi do this to you? What was so serious that you had to resort to violence?"
Wei Ming said nothing.
He hadn’t expected Cao Yi to be so tough, to survive being stabbed in the abdomen.
Not only did he survive, but he also knocked Wei Ming unconscious and carried him to the hospital.
What could he say? Cao Yi was indeed a true man.
Wei Na continued to nag:
"When I see him, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson for you."
Wei Ming wanted to say that Cao Yi might be more seriously injured than he was.
But he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
He was the one who ambushed Cao Yi, nearly killing him.
Just then, the door of the ward opened.
Wei Na and Wei Ming looked towards the door.
Cao Yi walked in with a cold expression.
Seeing Cao Yi, Wei Na was agitated, her eyes red, demanding:
"Why did you hit Mingming! You promised to protect him! Is this how you protect him?"
Cao Yi said:
"Sorry, now’s not the time to dwell on this. I have more important questions for him."
Wei Ming kept his head down, saying nothing.
Wei Na grew more anxious and got up, throwing a punch at Cao Yi’s abdomen.
A cold sweat trickled down Cao Yi’s face.
Wei Na furrowed her brows, now noticing that Cao Yi’s abdomen was bleeding.
She widened her eyes in disbelief, looking at Cao Yi’s abdomen:
"You, you’re injured?"
Cao Yi glanced at his abdomen and gently pushed Wei Na away:
"It’s nothing."
Wei Na suddenly turned to look at Wei Ming:
"You did this to Cao Yi?"
Wei Ming said nothing, only nodding lightly.
Wei Na walked over to the bed and slapped Wei Ming’s face.
Wei Ming looked shocked; it was the first time his sister had ever hit him.
He raised his head to see Wei Na’s face turn pale with anger:
"Sister..."
Wei Na’s eyes twitched:
"Do you think I don’t know how strong you are?
How could you have hurt him so badly, how could you have done this?!"
Wei Na instantly realized that her brother must have used underhanded means to injure Cao Yi.
A trace of warmth emerged in Cao Yi’s cold eyes.
Wei Na wasn’t entirely unsympathetic towards him after all.
