Volume 1 Return Chapter 12-13 Direct Damage

  This was the first time Chuyan had encountered a robbery, and two people were surrounded by six thugs in the middle. One of them was clearly the leader, shouting continuously, and the dagger in his hand was swishing back and forth in front of Chuyan.

  But Chu Yan's spirit had been paying attention to the surroundings all along, and after searching for the person hiding in the dark staring at him, he refocused his attention on these few people in front of him. The guy who suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind him had already taken the first step forward when Chu Yan's man had moved.

  With his left hand, Chu Yan pulled Mo Xi Yao into his embrace, and with his right hand, he swiftly grabbed the wrist of the nearest thug. With a sudden jerk, he flung the thug backward, sending him flying without any defense. Even if the thug had been prepared, it wouldn't have made a difference - Chu Yan would still have thrown him off.

  They clashed and the gang leader and the ambusher collided, not just their bodies but also the knives in their hands stabbed into each other's flesh. The gang leader's abdomen was left with only a knife handle, while the ambusher had his left lower ribcage slashed open by a blade, at least 10 cm long. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, but it wouldn't stop bleeding.

  "Damn it! What are you doing?" The leader of the hoodlums covered his stomach, fortunately the dagger was only 7 or 8 centimeters long, otherwise he would have been done for if that knife had stabbed in.

  The leader of the little rascals grabbed the sneaky rascal who had launched a surprise attack, one hand covering the wound on his belly where a knife was stuck, and with a painful and distorted face, he interrogated his younger brother.

  "I... I didn't mean to... big brother... I... I really wasn't on purpose!!" The sneaky little thug also had a complicated expression, as if there was something he couldn't say. At this moment, the robbers seemed to have lost their spirit and courage to continue robbing, while Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao were standing aside, watching like they were watching a play. As for the sudden turn of events, Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao had different understandings.

  "Deserved it!" This was the most direct thought in Mo Xiuyao's mind, but not for Chu Yan. The little rascal who launched a sneak attack earlier had a ruthless move, without any sign of mercy. Just by looking at the dagger stuck in the rascal's abdomen, one could tell that the blade was fully inserted into his body, which required an enormous amount of strength to accomplish. If it weren't for Chu Yan, that knife would have stabbed Mo Xiuyao's chest, right above her heart.

  Don't look at the guy who was stabbed in the stomach, he can still hold on for a while, but if it had been inserted into his heart, I'm afraid he would have kicked the bucket long ago. Was such a vicious and harmful move necessary for a simple robbery?

  Chu Yan's gaze once again turned towards the darkness in the distance, the person who had been hiding in the shadows was gone, and the feeling of being watched had disappeared, it seemed that he had really left.

  "Hey, are you guys still watching the show? If your boss doesn't go to the hospital soon, he'll probably die from excessive blood loss. It's just a robbery, is it worth risking your own life?" Chu Yan couldn't help but remind them as he looked at the group of thugs with stupid expressions, and at the same time, he gently patted the leader's head to comfort him.

  "Go!" The leader of the gang still had some guts, biting his teeth and spitting out a word. After that, the other little hooligans immediately ran over to support him, then walked towards an old van parked in the distance. They quickly got on the van and it drove away.

  They didn't report it for a reason. If the police asked how they got injured while taking notes, then what would they say?

  Robbery gone wrong? Mutual slaughter?

  No matter which one, they probably can't avoid going to the detention center for a while, and that place is exactly where they least like to go.

  "Chu Yan, I've discovered that you're a jinx. Since the day I met you, nothing good has happened to me. Let's go, take me back to sleep." Mo Xiuyao got into the car and thought seriously for half a day before turning around to face Chu Yan, solemnly expressing her own insights.

  "Really? I didn't notice, but if you say so, it's fine. Anyway, I won't lose any flesh, let's get going." Chu Yan smiled and took a glance at Mo Xiuyao, then fell into a thoughtful silence for three seconds before starting the car and leaving the parking lot.

  General Villa District, Chu Yan sent Mo Xi Yao home safely and drove away. While driving, he took out his only high-tech mobile phone and opened the GPS navigation system on it.

  On the phone screen, a red dot was slowly moving, and after taking a look at the location of the red dot, Chu Yan gradually increased his speed. Today's robbery wasn't just a simple coincidence in Chu Yan's mind, and before he figured out what really happened, those few little thugs would absolutely not be let off easily by Chu Yan.

  "Pretty clever, knowing to find a private clinic." When Chu Yan drove the car according to GPS navigation to this location in a remote alley, the door sign clearly told Chu Yan that the actual identity of this house was indeed a private clinic.

  Hai Dong Clinic, the name is simple, Chu Yan guessed that the doctor and owner of this clinic should be called Hai Dong. There are many clinics and shops named after their owners, the most famous one being Colonel Sanders of KFC.

  "Bang, bang, bang!" Chu Yan came to the door of the clinic and raised his hand to knock violently, directly ignoring the conspicuous doorbell on one side.

  "Who's there? It's so late, the clinic is already closed!" Half a day passed before a voice that sounded like it was still sleepy came from inside. Chu Yan took out his phone and looked at the positioning tracking system on the screen, confirming that it was indeed here.

  "Bang bang!" Chu Yan didn't respond, but continued to knock on the door. Soon after, a messy noise came from inside, and then the door was opened by someone from the inside. A neatly dressed person appeared in front of Chu Yan.

  "What's wrong? It's so late, if you're sick, come back tomorrow." The man spoke with a lot of confidence, and his eyes were also shining brightly, clearly not someone who had just woken up from sleep.

  "Bang!" This time, Chu Yan was not knocking on the door, but lifted one foot and kicked it open, then stepped into the clinic with a fierce expression.

  "Turn on the light!" The clinic was pitch black, with not a single light on. Chu Yan could hear that in this room, besides the person who opened the door, there were three other heavy breaths.

  "Bang!" A soft sound, the lights in the clinic were turned on, a woman wearing pajamas stood at the door of a corner of the clinic, looking at Chu Yan with fear, and as soon as the light came on, the situation in the clinic also clearly entered Chu Yan's line of sight.

  The clinic was not large, but the equipment was quite complete. On the two operating tables, each had a person lying on it. To be precise, one of them was an acquaintance of Chu Yan's, and the other was that thug who had ambushed him earlier. The two of them seemed to have already been treated for their injuries and were now lying in bed with terrified eyes staring at Chu Yan. They would never have imagined that the person who came looking for them was not a policeman, but someone even more frightening than a policeman.

  "Don't worry, I don't have any malicious intentions, Dr. Hai Dong?" Chu Yan asked the doctor and continued after getting his confirmation, "Dr. Hai Dong, do you know why I came here?"

  "I don't know, but I'm telling you, don't think about causing trouble here, I have many friends on the road too." Haidong's face didn't show any fear, and while saying this, he gave his wife a glance, hinting her to go back inside.

  "Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. The two people you saved today are actually the ones I was looking for. They're brothers and they previously tried to rob me, but ended up hurting themselves instead. I came here to see how they were doing and also had a question to ask that little brother." Chu Yan said, pointing at the small-time thug who had already sat up on the bed.

  Hai Dong nodded, he had seen such things many times before, so it wasn't strange at all. His clinic was originally the favorite place for those thugs to come to, first because Dr. Hai Dong's skills were quite good, and second because he never asked questions, as long as you came, he would treat you, regardless of the grudges or relationships between patients.

  "Don't shed blood here, I hate people dirtying my clinic." Ha Dong said, turning around and walking back into the house. As for this kind of exchange between enemies, he didn't want to understand it at all. The more you know, the more danger you'll be in. Knowing too much won't let you live long. For so many years, Ha Dong had been following this principle.

  "Don't be nervous, I won't hurt you two. After all, you two are already like this. I don't need to add insult to injury. However, I have a question for you: what's your name?" Chu Yan walked up to the little thug who had launched the sneak attack, a faint smile on his face, and pulled over a chair from one side before sitting down.

  "I... I'm called Dawei, I... I don't know anything!" Before Chu Yan could ask any questions, this kid had already messed up his own footwork. As soon as Chu Yan saw the kid's flustered reaction, he immediately confirmed his own thoughts.

  "Don't be in a hurry to say you don't know, you wouldn't want me to let you lie on the bed for a few more years, would you? Or I'll just make a phone call to the police and accuse you of attempted robbery and assault. I think ten days or half a month in prison would still be a welcome experience for you." Chuyan was not in a hurry, dealing with this kind of petty thug didn't require much effort, especially under current circumstances, even more so without worrying.

  "No! I don't want to go to jail! Let me off, I was just trying to rob some money, but now the money is gone and I almost got killed. How can you say you haven't lost anything? Why do you have to come here and make things difficult for me?" Dawei's fear was genuine, first because he didn't know why Chuyan had found him, and secondly, he really did have a guilty conscience this time, or else he wouldn't have done something so ruthless under the pretext of robbing money.

  "Haha, so you're saying it's my fault? I should give you the money and then let you stab my friend to death? Is there really such a good thing in this world?" Chu Yan said as he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and coldly stared at Dawei. The thug standing next to him looked confused, seemingly unaware that his underling was hiding something from him.

  "Hmph! Today I, the young master, admit defeat. You can kill or torture me as you please." Chu Yan's words fell into Da Wei's ears, instantly making this little guy's face stunned, and then he simply broke out in a desperate struggle.

  "How much money did he give you?" Chu Yan didn't mind Da Wei's arrogant attitude, and continued to ask while smoking.

  "What money? What are you talking about, Dawei, you bastard? Spit it out! What's going on?" As soon as the word "money" was mentioned, the thug leader suddenly came to life and started cursing at Dawei. This sudden turn of events caught Chuyan off guard, and he had no idea why this thug leader loved money so much.

  "Big brother... I... I don't dare say!!"
