109: Chapter 109: Submission!

A Wondrous Medicine!

With a snap!

The lighter flared up, igniting a cigarette.

Through the swirling smoke, Hong Cheng saw Wu Jie’s face shrouded in shadows.

It was a terrifying depth, like the calm before a storm.

In the quiet hospital ward.

Cheng Bao was restless, glancing now at Wu Jie, now at the folded knife plunged into the wall, his heart filled with sorrow.

That was a concrete wall, after all!

Cheng Bao’s mind was in turmoil.

On the ground.

The five people pinned and bound, each with bowed heads, were utterly dejected.

They thought themselves fierce and domineering, having done many dirty and bloody deeds, but now they were immobilized.

The atmosphere was one of deathly silence.

Cheng Bao looked at Wu Jie submissively and finally couldn’t bear it…

Thump!

“Bro, please spare me!”

His knees gave way, and he knelt.

Where was Cheng Bao’s village tyrant’s dominance now?

Where was his self-righteous arrogance?

Hong Cheng’s lips twitched suddenly, never expecting his nephew to kneel so readily.

What about himself?

Stealthily raising his gaze, he glanced sideways at Wu Jie, who sat on the edge of the hospital bed, smoking and contemplating.

That face, while not handsome or striking, possessed a maturity and indifference that did not match his age.

At that moment, he felt Wu Jie was like the heroes in martial arts novels, acting with swift, accurate, ruthless precision, without dragging his feet.

“What to do?

Should I kneel and admit my wrongs proactively?

Offer compensation and apologize?”

Hong Cheng squinted his eyes and suddenly felt that things couldn’t be that simple.

Wu Jie, with his superior martial arts skills, why would he care about trivial gains?

If he wasn’t killing people, he must have bigger plans!

If intending to kill, Hong Cheng couldn’t guess what means Wu Jie would use, after all, this was a hospital.

Therefore, Hong Cheng felt that there might be a twist in the situation.

The cigarette burned slowly.

Cheng Bao knelt on the ground, knocking his head like pounding garlic.

His already swollen head bruised and bleeding from the forehead, looked even more ghastly and terrifying.

But Wu Jie remained silent.

Blood blurred Cheng Bao’s face, and he was nearing his limit.

At that moment…

Wu Jie abruptly snuffed out the cigarette butt and pulled several pills from his pocket.

With jaws clenched and mouths forced open, not one of the five on the ground was spared,

Hong Cheng, however, took the initiative, opening his mouth without needing Wu Jie to lift a finger.

After swallowing the pill, there was a hint of sweetness, like chocolate, and no strange feeling in the stomach.

Cheng Bao took his too, still grinning foolishly.

Casting a cold glance around the room, Wu Jie pulled out the foldable knife.

“If you want to live, be at Rotten Mud Village before noon with your sincerity, do not be late!”

Wu Jie strode out the door, leaving the room bustling with sighs and panting.

“Scared me to death!”

“Damn it!

Really ran into a tough one!”

“Hong, you’re absolutely screwing us over!”

“Thought it was just a bronze-level fighter, damn it, didn’t expect a King!”

“Baozi, what are you spacing out for?

Hurry up and untie us, brother!”

…

Cheng Bao dared not dally, wiping the blood as he stepped forward, first untying Hong Cheng’s belt and then everyone else’s bindings.

“Stop complaining about me!

How the hell was I to know, his kung fu was that good?”

Hong Cheng grumbled, swearing under his breath, “Don’t even know what the hell he made us eat!”

“Uncle, that wasn’t poison he gave us, was it?

Didn’t he say if we want to live, we’d have to go to Rotten Mud Village?”

No sooner had Cheng Bao spoken than he was kicked fiercely by Hong Cheng.

“It’s all your damn fault!”

Cheng Bao face-planted the ground.

His already swollen face smashed hard against the floor, and he howled in pain.

Hong Cheng didn’t reach out to help him up but walked over to the bedside and glanced at the hole.

“How much force does it take to throw a knife with such precision, stabbing this deep?”

No one answered Hong Cheng’s question.

Turning around, he realized everyone was trying to induce vomiting, hoping to throw up the poison.

Hong Cheng scoffed and shook his head.

“Why even bother?”

“If he dared to poison you, he’d dare to make you vomit.

If you want to live, you’d better hurry to the emergency room!”

As soon as Hong Cheng finished speaking, five men immediately pulled up their trousers and dashed off.

Cheng Bao struggled to his feet, his head now completely resembling a pig’s.

Bloody and bloated.

Lifting his neck, Cheng Bao timidly asked,

“Uncle, why aren’t you going to the emergency room?”

Hong Cheng turned around, grinned sheepishly, and shook his head, “I had one more thing to say just now!”

“And that is, if Wu Jie dares to poison people in the hospital, he’s not afraid of getting caught!

Better hurry up and find a way to gather money to save your life!”

Gather money?

Cheng Bao was puzzled.

“You mean, Wu Jie actually still wants to extort us?”

“No shit!

Everyone has a price, birds die for food!”

“Then how much should we prepare?

I offered four million before, and he didn’t even agree!”

“Four million…

are you kidding beggars?”

…

Time ticked away second by second.

In their desperation to borrow and gather money, Cheng Bao and his companion nearly blew up their phones.

9:30 PM.

The five brothers who went to the emergency room came back, carrying a stack of test results and reports.

“Strange!

The doctor said we aren’t ill at all.

There’s no toxic substance in our blood, gastric fluid, or even our urine!”

“We seriously suspect that guy was just bluffing, trying to scare us!”

“The pills we swallowed have no toxins at all.

He’s trying to intimidate us psychologically, to make us submit!”

“Talking about coming with sincerity…

isn’t this extortion?”

“We’ve decided to arm ourselves and head to Rotten Mud Village, to wipe him out once and for all.

Burning and burying the body will leave no trace to investigate!”

…

Cheng Bao and his companion didn’t say much and didn’t interfere with the five brothers’ freedom to choose.

After the five had left, the two of them continued to scrounge for money.

Casinos, nightclubs, mines, bathhouses…

Madly gathering funds, even resorting to borrowing from loan sharks and scraping together contributions from relatives…

By almost 11 PM,

they hurriedly left the hospital, took the money and some people, and drove two SUVs straight to Rotten Mud Village.

The place was named Rotten Mud Village because of frequent landslides and mudflows due to excessive deforestation and the resulting lack of trees to retain soil and water.

After years of reforestation, it has now become lush with greenery.

However, because it’s deserted, it’s usually only on weekends that people drive there to camp and picnic.

Midnight.

In the desolate mountains.

The SUVs slowly wound their way along the serpentine asphalt road through the hills.

The car behind carried four large suitcases, all filled with cash.

Twenty million in old notes, weighing over six hundred pounds.

After driving in the pitch-black forest for a while, a faint light finally appeared ahead.

Upon getting closer, they realized it was a motorcycle with its headlights on, but Wu Jie was nowhere to be seen.

They stopped the cars and turned off the engines, then got out to look around.

In the pitch-dark forest, save for the chirping of insects, one couldn’t see their hand before their face, let alone detect an ambush.

Hong Cheng checked his phone, and it was almost midnight.

Would they really die from poisoning if they didn’t get the antidote by twelve?

“We’ve brought twenty million with us, sincerely hoping to apologize and make amends.

I wonder if that’s enough sincerity?”

Raising his voice, Cheng Bao shouted.

“Are you howling your grief?

Can’t a man take a peaceful shit in silence?”

Suddenly, a fierce shout burst out from the nearby bushes.
