It was a short four-minute journey, but it felt like forty-eight hours.
At first, there were screams and curses, but later, the pain became unbearable. They fought back with all their might, slashing with their swords, biting with their teeth, and struggling with all their strength, even if they would be crushed under the wheels after they regained their freedom.
In the end, the curses turned into hoarse pleading and disappeared.
The rag like thing hanging outside the car window stopped making any sound.
It just quietly followed the laws of physics, rubbing against the ground, leaving a red road sign that gradually dried up for the pursuers behind.
Unfortunately, after leaving such an eye-catching mark, the active figures on the motorcycles could no longer be seen.
Until the car slowly stopped in the underground parking lot of Kashiwabara Hospital, the nurses who received the report from the front door rushed over with a stretcher, but they didn't see the expected wounded.
All he saw was a wobbly object hanging from the car window.
Then, his five fingers slowly loosened.
Throwing the thing on the ground, Huai Shi opened the door from the outside and got out of the car.
Akaki, who had just arrived, was stunned. Looking at the bloody attacker under Huai Shi's feet, she asked, "Who is this?"
"A friend I met on the road."
Huai Shi answered and shook the stains on his hands, "We happened to be on the same road, so I gave him a ride … Look, aren't we at the hospital? Quick, send him to the ICU. "
Lifting his foot and stepping over the wriggling attacker on the ground, Huai Shi walked to the operating room under the guidance of his allies.
In the private elevator, Huai Shi asked Akaki, who had arrived earlier, "What's the specific situation?"
"I don't know too much for now. The driver failed to be resuscitated a few minutes ago and passed away."
Ignoring the no-smoking rule in the elevator, Akaki smoked a cigarette irritably, "The president was originally fine, but he's old … I don't dare to ask too much about the specific details."
At this kind of time, the most important thing for an ally's subordinate to do was to sit down and wait for orders and reports from the higher-ups. Those who asked around were all people with ulterior motives. The fact that he could know so much was already the treatment of a trusted subordinate.
As soon as the elevator door opened, she saw Qian Ye Ronger leaning against the window and making a call.
Qian Ye Longer turned around and saw Huai Shi. He waved at him and said a few words into the phone before hanging up. Then, he raised his head and said, "The old man is in the emergency room. I'm afraid his condition is a little troublesome."
He opened the window to ventilate the stuffy corridor and disperse the lingering smell of smoke.
"He's already over sixty years old. It's already not easy for a half-breed who isn't an Ascendant to live this long, and to encounter something like this … It's a bit dangerous this time."
Moderate burns were easy to deal with, but complications that had been suppressed with various drugs were difficult to deal with.
No one knew when they would wake up from their coma.
Qian Ye stubbed out her cigarette and asked, "Did anything happen on the way here?"
"Have a safe trip and entertain a group of guests," Huai Shi replied. "What about the others?"
Qian Ye shrugged. "That's tough. There's another one who arrived right after you and was just sent to the ICU. I hope you don't mind that he took your guest's bed."
This joke had no effect.
Neither of them was able to laugh.
Qian Ye's phone vibrated again, interrupting their interest in continuing their conversation.
"Take a seat first." Qian Ye patted him on the shoulder. "We'll see how it goes after the surgery."
He turned and left.
The atmosphere in the corridor was solemn. The backbone of the alliance sat on the benches on both sides. Their expressions were cold and serious. No one could relax to the point of laughing.
However, when they saw Huai Shi enter, they couldn't help but stand up and bow. Naturally, some people obediently gave up their seats and invited him to take a seat.
After a long time of reshuffling his family's business, no one in the alliance dared to look down on him anymore. Even this leader Huai Shi's reputation had become mighty and heroic.
Even the Guardian Tian Tian, who had a transcendent position in the alliance at the entrance of the operating room, raised his eyes and glanced at Huai Shi. He nodded in acknowledgment.
He was still wearing the somewhat old Yingzhou robe, accompanied by a sword that never left his body. There were still traces of burn marks on his cuffs.
Huai Shi bowed respectfully to show his respect. Then, he sat down surrounded by the other team leaders.
However, he didn't feel any pride in his heart.
On the contrary, it was filled with heavy pressure.
It was obvious that the situation was already on the verge of getting out of control.
The news of the No-Matter Order had just spread and hadn't taken effect yet, but the Kyodo was about to start a full-scale war. They didn't even hesitate to cause a chain car accident in the downtown area, causing major traffic accidents …
When the bottom line was broken once, it would become lower and lower in the endless revenge until it finally disappeared without a trace.
In the final analysis, talking about the bottom line and morality of the Kyodo was as ridiculous as talking about the risk of entering the market for leeks.
Sheng Tianmu had made almost perfect preparations, but what he didn't expect was that the other party would be so crazy as to use a large oil tank to crash in the city.
There were probably other explosives and attackers at the scene. The final chain car accident was just a cover up …
As soon as the storm clouds hung in the sky, the rats began to drive their warships to kill each other.
Under the manipulation of all parties, the useless scum abandoned by society could be used for their final use.
In the silence, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He lowered his head to take a look, only to see that it was an unfamiliar number.
After being stunned for a moment, Huai Shi got up and walked through the corridor all the way to the rooftop before answering the phone, "Hello? Who is it? "
"What do you think?" There was an angry voice on the other end.
Ever since he became the head of the family, his stinky sister's temper had grown. She looked at everyone as her younger brother, which made Huai Shi feel more and more helpless.
Huai Shi sighed, "Don't rush me, don't rush me. I'm doing it, I'm doing it. The situation is so sensitive now. Can't we wait until things are a little clearer before dealing with the Iron King Gang? "
"That's what I wanted to tell you." Hu Po suppressed his irritation and couldn't help but have a headache. After a moment of silence, he said straightforwardly, "Huai Shi, leave Yingzhou."
"Hmm?"
"I've already transferred the money to you. The Yuzhi Treasure that I promised you has already been sent to the Ivory Tower. Forget about the Iron King Gang. Just pretend that the deal between us didn't exist. "
Hu Po said, "This time, the No-Matter Order isn't that simple. Your identity is sensitive, so it's best not to get involved."
Huai Shi was stunned and frowned, "Say more, I like hearing this."
"Don't you realize that the timing of the No-Matter Order isn't right?"
Hu Po sighed softly. "I can see it now — High Emperor wants to use this consumption tax reform to decide the victor between him and the general before the Five Permanent Members of the Command Bureau begins. He wants to avoid the influence of the Central American lineage in the upcoming War of Worlds to the greatest extent.
If things go wrong, the streets of the capital will probably return to how they were during the Fall Curtain. There will be people everywhere, and no one will be able to stay safe … … "
"Then what about the Inner Circle of Danbo?" Huai Shi asked.
"Of course they'll be sacrificed." Hu Po sighed, "Do you think that a group of illegal immigrants can have any proper status? There are many people who want to take this opportunity to clean up the capital … … "
In the silence, Huai Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.
He couldn't understand.
"What does this count for?" Huai Shi suppressed his anger, "What does this count for? A decision that involves an entire country is decided by the results of a group of extreme dao cultivators? In the end, they still have to use the corpses of a group of innocent people as decoration. Don't you think that's funny? "
"Huai Shi, don't forget, this is Yingzhou. Not every country can be like Dongxia," Hu Po said.
"When internal sovereignty has already been divided to such an extent, it's already the result of everyone's efforts to restrain themselves that it hasn't become two countries like Xinluo."
Huai Shi sneered, "Are you really not afraid that the lowly people in your eyes will be driven to desperation?"
In the silence, Hu Po's tone became complicated.
"Isn't there still an astronomy meeting?"
"… …"
For the first time, Huai Shi had the urge to crush his phone.
On the other end, Hu Po was also silent. After a long time, she sighed faintly, "Forget it, I knew you would be like this. It's useless to say anything."
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "The Iron King Gang might attack the Inner Circle of Danbo tonight. Shengtianmu caused Dazheng Guangzhao to be so humiliated. He won't let go of this opportunity.
When Shengtianmu was attacked in the morning, he immediately took a set of border relics from the Luming Hall's channel. "
"I know, thank you."
"… I owe you."
Without waiting for Huai Shi to speak again, she hung up the phone first.
In the midst of the busy tone, Huai Shi heard hurried footsteps coming from behind the door, and the first good news of the day.
"Mr. Huai Shi, the president is awake!"
.
.
In the ward, the atmosphere was solemn.
Only Shengtianmu, whose left arm was still wrapped in bandages, was drinking water with a smile, as if the person who had narrowly escaped death was not him.
"What's wrong? You look so worried. "
He put down the glass of water, "Am I not fine? It's just a broken arm, a trivial burn. It's not like I lost my life, why are you so worried? "
He waved his hand casually and laughed softly, "However, this time, it's literally a fire burning at our doorstep … It seems that some people don't want us to be at peace."
Huai Shi, who had just walked in, did not waste time and said bluntly, "Tonight, the Iron King Gang may launch an attack."
As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated, and everyone's face became ugly.
No matter who it was, they would not be happy to be treated as a soft persimmon, let alone this group of Extreme Tao who hung their heads on their waistbands.
Only Shengtianmu was still calm. He nodded slightly and suddenly laughed, "Then, Mr. Huai Shi, can you share my worries?"
"It's just a small matter." Huai Shi said, "It's not a problem."
In the Bone Burial Sanctuary, the crows that had been silent for a long time let out excited cries, and a cruel light burst out from their scarlet eyes.
