The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 169 - 169 169 I'll check no whitewashing

169: Chapter 169 I’ll check, no whitewashing 169: Chapter 169 I’ll check, no whitewashing Zhonghai, West Suburb, Thorny Rose headquarters, Rose Manor.

Inside the Ice Cave Ward.

Xue Mei, dressed in a thin sweater, personally supervised and directed the medical staff of Thorny Rose, moving Elder Wei, who lay on the hospital bed, with extreme slowness.

“Chairman, I must remind you, with Elder Wei’s current condition, if we forcefully board him on the helicopter, it’s very likely he will die during the flight!” The one reminding Xue Mei was wearing a white lab coat, the head of the Thorny Rose medical team, Yu Youjun.

Yu Youjun studied abroad in his younger days, coming back with a medical doctorate from a prestigious international university.

It was also him who had spent numerous hours on the operating table, temporarily pulling Elder Wei back from the brink of death.

Therefore, Xue Mei had to seriously consider what Yu Youjun said.

Upon this thought, Xue Mei turned her head to look at Lin Fei beside her, her charming phoenix eyes filled with a look of pleading.

Feeling the uncertainty in Xue Mei’s eyes, Lin Fei shrugged his shoulders, “You make the choice.”

This was something Lin Fei obviously couldn’t decide for Xue Mei.

What he could offer was a chance at life for Elder Wei.

As for whether Elder Wei could hold on to his last breath and reach the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s base near Manzhou, that was entirely up to Elder Wei’s own fate.

Not getting the answer she wanted from Lin Fei, Xue Mei’s pretty eyes turned towards Yu Youjun, “If we leave Elder Wei here, can you cure him?”

“Cannot,” Yu Youjun immediately gave Xue Mei a negative reply.

Keeping Elder Wei’s last breath was already the limit of Yu Youjun’s capabilities; curing Elder Wei was obviously beyond his ability.

Remaining in the Ice Cave Ward, Elder Wei might live a few more days.

However, that was all.

On the other hand, boarding the helicopter, there was a very good chance Elder Wei would die on the spot.

Yet, if he could endure and reach the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s base near Manzhou, he might have a chance at survival.

It was an easy yet difficult choice to make.

…

Rose Manor, helipad.

With the careful assistance of Yu Youjun and the other medical staff, the critically injured Elder Wei was safely boarded onto the helicopter.

“Chairman, I will protect Elder Wei with my life.

If anything unexpected happens to Elder Wei on the way, I, Yu Youjun, will accompany Elder Wei on the journey to the yellow springs!” This was the final word Yu Youjun left with Xue Mei before boarding.

At the same time, it could also be considered as the biggest support for Xue Mei’s decision.

Under the night sky, two helicopters circled upward, then departed from Rose Manor, rushing towards the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s Manzhou Base.

In truth, one helicopter would have been enough.

However, Xue Mei disregarded Lin Fei’s advice and insisted on using both of the Manor’s helicopters.

To some extent, by doing so, Xue Mei had cut off her most significant and essential means of retreat.

Seeing Xue Mei take such action, Lin Fei saw clearly that this woman must have already resolved to have a life-or-death struggle with the Azure Dragon Gang.

Roses may be enticing, but their thorns also wound.

Watching the two helicopters vanish into the vast night sky, Xue Mei’s charming eyes turned to Lin Fei, “It’ll be alright, won’t it?”

Pulling Xue Mei’s jade-like shoulders towards him, Lin Fei stared intently into the woman’s hopeful and beautiful eyes, “As long as he arrives safely, I assure you, one day in the future, I will return that old guy to you, lively and kicking.”

Lin Fei wasn’t just comforting Xue Mei, he had the confidence to back up his words.

The medical facilities at the Hell’s Judgement Organization’s base were obviously not something that could be compared to those of a local gang like Thorny Rose.

Even though the Manzhou Base wasn’t the main stronghold of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, it still gathered plenty of top-tier medical personnel.

Most importantly, the base was equipped with the most advanced medical technology in the world.

Lin Fei had already phoned the Manzhou Base, and they had everything ready to treat Elder Wei.

If Elder Wei couldn’t be healed there, then there was practically nowhere else in the world that could cure him.

…

“So, the reason the Azure Dragon Gang hasn’t made a move on me these days is entirely because they’ve been focusing their efforts on dealing with you guys from Thorny Rose?” Lin Fei and Xue Mei walked side by side on the gravel path from the helipad of Rose Manor towards the Blood Rose Villa under the moonlight.

“Sort of, and sort of not.”

After seeing Elder Wei off and receiving Lin Fei’s promise that he would return a hopping and lively Elder Wei to her, all while having Lin Fei accompany her for a leisurely walk to clear her mind, Xue Mei’s previously morose mood over the past two days had significantly soothed.

“How so?” Xue Mei’s equivocal response made Lin Fei raise his eyebrows slightly.

“These days, the Azure Dragon Gang indeed had quite a few disputes with us from Thorny Rose.

However, the only major dispute was their attempt to assassinate Elder Wei.” At this, Xue Mei’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of killing intent revealing itself.

“All I did was send your man off, and you’re still giving me that angry look—who’s it for?!” Sensing the killing intent gradually building in Xue Mei’s captivating eyes, Lin Fei couldn’t help but pinch her cold yet charmingly alluring face, “Babe, give your man a smile.”

Poor Xue Mei, no matter how well-known the Chairman of Thorny Rose was, she was coerced to smile again and again for Lin Fei.

“You’re shameless!”

Having her lovely face toyed with by Lin Fei—who had just assisted her in sending Elder Wei off—Xue Mei still managed to throw several rolling eyes at him.

“I’m shameless because you’re beautiful.” Xue Mei’s scolding clearly didn’t bother Lin Fei, who was rather thick-skinned.

Moreover, Lin Daren was acting completely out of kindness.

Didn’t she see that through his shamelessness, she had shed most of her negative emotions?

“I can’t be bothered with you.” Throwing him another eye roll, Xue Mei’s charming phoenix eyes suddenly showed a rare trace of delight.

Even though she wasn’t sure why Lin Fei was flirting with her—which was to ease her mood—she was obviously pleased with his remark that “it’s because you’re beautiful.”

No woman dislikes being praised for her beauty; despite verbally claiming to ignore Lin Fei, deep down, she felt a lot more affection toward him.

Having a different heart and mouth, this characteristic is common among many women.

Chatter and playfulness filled their walk until they soon arrived in front of Xue Mei’s villa.

“I’m here; you can go back to your wife now.” Standing in front of the villa’s gates, Xue Mei’s words instantly set Lin Fei aflame.

Think about it—Lin Daren had been busying himself for almost half a day, thinking he could finally roll in the sheets, but at this moment, Xue Mei was telling him to leave.

If he really left now, then he, Lin Fei, wouldn’t deserve to call himself a man.

“I definitely have to go back, but before that, I’m planning to check if you’ve had a ‘clean’.” Saying that, Lin Fei waved his hand and in a swift motion, flipped away Xue Mei’s see-through spliced thin sweatshirt.

Tonight, the rose was destined to bloom…
