Chapter 42: Crazy Luo Kai

  "What? Things have gone wrong?" Luo Kai, lying on the hospital bed, looked at his only confidant in front of him, and his originally ferocious expression suddenly became even more gruesome. "How could things go wrong? Did you do it according to my plan?"

  In front of Luo Kai's bed, a bespectacled man with an ordinary appearance sat quietly. His looks were the kind that would get lost in a crowd, but he wore a doctor's uniform. This person was the only one Luo Kai trusted and who was unknown to the outside world. At the same time, he was also the only one who could enter and exit Luo Kai's ward at will.

  "Yes, I followed your instructions to the letter and found someone who is 100% unlikely to cause any unexpected problems. Her brother and mother are both in our hands, so she's sure to follow orders without knowing who we are. But, why didn't the bomb explode? I'm not entirely clear on that, it seems like there was some kind of Interpol agent on the scene who managed to defuse it." The man with glasses finished speaking, his face showing a look of puzzlement, because he had heard Luo Kai say that the timed bomb was absolutely impossible to defuse within 5 minutes. As long as you brought it in and activated it, there was no way to move it, you could only leave it there and wait for time to tick away, then boom."

  "Impossible! That bomb was made by an expert I hired from abroad at a great price, and it's impossible for an Interpol agent to defuse it in such a short time... damn it... cough, cough..." Luo Kai's voice was low and filled with cold hatred, his emotions were so intense that he couldn't help but start coughing, and the white bed sheet was instantly stained red by the blood he coughed up.

  The bespectacled doctor hastily held Luo Kai up, then stared at him with flickering eyes, and after a long time of contemplation, slowly spoke: "Brother Kai, I'll think of a way to send you out, leave Nanshan City, leave China, go find your wife, the three of you can be together, live happily ever after, what do you think?"

  The glasses man's advice sounded very reasonable, but given his understanding of Luo Kai, he was afraid that his persuasion would not have any effect and might even intensify Luo Kai's hatred.

  "No need! Little Wang, you know my personality, my career, my happiness in the second half of my life, all were ruined by that bitch. I won't let it go so easily, help me one last time, find an opportunity to get me out of the hospital, and don't worry about the rest. The 500,000 yuan I left for you is just a little compensation from me as your brother over the years. Okay, I'm a bit tired, need to rest." Luo Kai bluntly rejected Dr. Wang's suggestion, in his heart, if Mo Xiuyao didn't die, even if he could safely spend the second half of his life, it would be meaningless.

  The glasses man knew that it was pointless to persuade him anymore, so he didn't waste his breath and stood up to help Luo tidy up the quilt. "What about the people in our hands? Are we going to let them go?"

  "For the time being, don't put them away yet, I might still need them." After finishing speaking, Luo Kai closed his eyes and stopped talking, while Dr. Glasses also didn't say anything else, turned around and left. Outside the door, two police officers stood there, faithfully performing their duties.

  "Doctor Wang, how is Luo Kai's condition?" One of the female police officers asked as soon as she saw Doctor Wang come out.

  "It's not looking good, he's suffered a huge blow and his physical condition is recovering at an extremely slow pace. This patient's emotional volatility makes it even harder to determine the recovery time for what should have been a relatively quick recovery. It could be a month, or maybe a year, in short, it's hard to say." The bespectacled doctor finished speaking and left without expression, while another male police officer approached at this time with a sympathetic face.

  "A man's life has two most important things, first is money, or rather, career. Second is women, or rather, wife. Luo Kai has lost both, you know a man can still survive without money, but for a healthy man to become a eunuch and spend the rest of his life as one, that's devastating. If it were me, I might not even have the courage to live on." The male officer looked at the female officer in front of him with an air of schadenfreude.

  "Chang Ping, do you think all men are like you? I'm telling you, Luo Kai's condition has been bad, the court can't be in session, and we two have to stay in this broken place as security guards. This girl still wants to join the special police team or the major crimes unit one day, but time is being wasted like this, I don't even have time to find a boyfriend!!" The female officer clearly didn't think much of her male colleague, and said with a mix of emotion and disdain before turning around and sitting down on the other side.

  The male police officer didn't show any embarrassment on his face, probably because he was used to being looked down upon by the female police officer. "I'm telling you, Hailing, it's not that I'm saying this, but you're getting older, aren't you? You'll be twenty-five in just a few days! Once a woman reaches twenty-five, she officially becomes an old maid. It'll be hard for you to find someone then. Why don't you just settle for me?"

  "Go die!!"

  "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Let's put it into action instead. Tonight when we switch shifts, I'll treat you to dinner, a candlelit dinner, with two candles lit, and then personally cook some braised pig trotters for you. How about that? Will you do me the honor?"

  "Go die!!"

  ……

  In the dead of night, outside Quanjude, Chu Yan and others had finished eating and drinking and were about to leave. Wan Caoni took out her phone, glanced at it, then walked up to Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao. "Alright, let's part ways here. My flight is in two hours, remember to renovate my house nicely!"

  Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao nodded, they already knew the exact time of Wan Caoni's departure from the seat just now, so there was no surprise. Wan Caoni refused Mo Xiuyao's suggestion to drive her home, hailed a taxi and left quickly. Others also said goodbye to Mo Xiuyao and left one after another. For a while, only Chu Yan and Mo Xiuyao were left.

  "Where are you going, I'll send you." Mo Xiuyao started the car. Today's meal was exceptionally enjoyable for her, naturally because she seemed to have been saved by this man in front of her once again.

  "No need, I'm staying at the Shangri-La, it's just a ten-minute walk from here. What about you, what are you going to do about the bombing case? Are you going to report it and file a case or just let it go?" Chu Yan didn't get in the car, he was still thinking about the bomb, because the production standard of that bomb was absolutely international level, almost all the people in the country who could make such a high-standard bomb were working for the police.

  "It's already been reported and a case has been filed, we must catch the person who planted the bomb, otherwise this Silver Palm will become a favorite haunt of terrorists!" Mo Xiuyao's response made Chu Yan nod in agreement, although reporting and filing a case was the top priority, but he was worried that there might be some hidden circumstances behind the case, and when the police get involved, it may trigger some subtle chain reactions.

  Of course, these thoughts were just fleeting in Chu Yan's mind, a habitual thinking of a decision-maker without any substantial basis. In Mo Xi Yao's mind, however, she was thinking about something else entirely.

  "In that case, I won't force you. Be careful on the road." After finishing speaking, Mo Xiuyao slowly started the car and drove away into the distance.

  "Lu Kai, that son of a bitch, is absolutely crazy!! The car wasn't going fast, but Mo Xiuyao's mind was constantly clearing up the threads of recent events. In the end, she came to an almost 100% certain conclusion: this bomb must be connected to Lu Kai! "Looks like I need to apply some pressure, otherwise that dead fat guy will stay in the hospital forever and I'll never get a break!!"

  With a determined mind, Mo Xiuyao's foot suddenly pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the silver-gray BMW car accelerated rapidly like an arrow off the string. The strong push-back feeling made Mo Xiuyao take a deep breath!!

  ……

  At the hospital, outside Luo Kai's ward, two police officers on duty came up to Chang Ping and Hai Ling.

  "Two of you, hard work, see you at shift change." The two police officers said and saluted to Chang Pinghai and Hailing, while Hailing looked at the time on one side, seemingly not yet time for shift change?

  "Come on, Hailing, I'll treat you to a midnight snack." Changping was eager for someone to come and take over the shift, so he didn't care whether it was time yet. Hailing glanced at his watch, but five minutes seemed like no big deal, and his doubts only flashed by for a moment. After completing the handover, the two of them left.

  "Get moving, you only have four minutes!" The two newly arrived police officers said as they pushed open the door to the hospital room. Inside, he was already dressed in his bespoke Armani suit, which looked a bit loose due to his recent lack of appetite.

  "Brother Kai, we were sent by Brother Wang. Time is limited, let's leave quickly." The two police officers who came in said as they supported Luo Kai and quickly left the ward. Less than three minutes later, two more police officers appeared outside the door of the ward. However, these two police officers seemed to have been drinking and hadn't drunk much less. The two people actually sat down on the chair outside Luo Kai's ward with a thud, tilted their heads, and fell fast asleep.

  ……

  Watching Mo Xiuyao leave, Chu Yan didn't directly return to the hotel to rest. Luo Kai had repeatedly come to stroke his tiger whiskers, which had already touched Chu Yan's bottom line. If it weren't for the fact that he had been busy with things these past few days, he would have long since wanted to get rid of that dead fatty. Now, on this dark and windy night, perfect for killing, it was time to send that dead fatty to see King Yama.

  In the darkness, Chu Yan's figure rushed straight to Nanshan City Hospital...

  In front of the Silver Palm Gate, Mo Xiuyao took out the key and opened the door. She wanted to figure out overnight what kind of person had planted the bomb, because although there were no cameras in the guest area inside the Silver Palm, both the front and back doors were equipped with cameras. As long as she could retrieve the surveillance footage, she should be able to find the perpetrator quickly.

  It wasn't until Mo Xiuyao entered the Silver Palm and had just locked the door that the lights in the first-floor hall of the Silver Palm suddenly lit up, and at the same time a voice full of crazy hatred appeared in Mo Xiuyao's ears.

  "Smelly cunt! Long time no see!!!!!"
