Chapter 201: Swallow This Breath First
Zhonglou District’s Fourth Hospital.
Liu Yong almost lost his life from Jian Ai’s beating. When he was sent to the hospital, he was already on his last breath. He had been hospitalized for a few days now and only woke up this afternoon.
On the hospital bed, a thick layer of gauze was wrapped around his head, revealing only two eyes whose swelling had just subsided. His neck was stiff, and Liu Yong couldn’t move even though he wanted to.
On the chair at the side sat a middle-aged woman who was covering her face and crying. Although the woman was almost forty years old, she had maintained her looks well and was still charming. It was just that her heart ached for her injured and unconscious son. She even washed her face with tears every day. As such, her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was filled with fatigue.
The man standing in front of the window glared at her impatiently and said unhappily, “Alright, stop crying!”
This person was the boss behind Starlight Bar, Liu Yong’s father, Liu Zhigang.
Liu Zhigang was tall and burly, and he had a fierce look on his face. His exposed arm had a terrifying tattoo. This person had quite a bit of face in the Zhonglou District. Besides opening two bars, he was also secretly a moneylender who had a group of hired thugs beside him. Usually, no one dared to provoke them, and whoever saw them would have to show courtesy.
However, Zhonglou District was only slightly richer than South City District in the economically developed Baiyun City. It was nothing compared to Haicheng District and Wanbao District.
As the saying went, crafty people existed in remote and backward villages. Liu Zhigang was the local tyrant of the Zhonglou District and had been tyrannical in this area for many years. Although there was not much development, he had done many illegal deeds.
Sun Fang stopped crying when she heard Liu Zhigang’s words. She looked at him with eyes that were as swollen as walnuts. “Husband, it’s been so many days. Didn’t you find her?”
Over the past few days, Sun Fang had already interrogated him countless times.
Liu Zhigang sighed but his tone softened. “Alright, Fangfang, don’t bother about this matter. I have my own plans.”
As a father, how could he not feel heartache when his son got beaten up? If it were in the past, he would have found that person even if he had to dig three feet into the ground to take revenge.
But… But…
He could not afford to offend that person!
As if she had noticed Liu Zhigang’s perfunctory attitude, Sun Fang immediately said anxiously, “What’s your plan? I think you just want your son to be bullied for nothing.”
“What are you talking about?!” Liu Zhigang’s face turned fierce as he said angrily, “My son was beaten up like this in my own bar. Do you think I feel good?”
But what if he felt uncomfortable?
He would have to hold it in obediently.
As long as it was someone he could afford to provoke, why would he remain indifferent after so many days? This was clearly not his style.
However, Liu Zhigang knew that it was useless. Sun Fang only had eyes for her son, who had been beaten up badly. She didn’t relent and said, “I don’t care. If you don’t help your son get back at her, I’ll call the police. I don’t believe the police won’t care!”
“Please, can you not get involved?” Liu Zhigang had a helpless look on his face, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only soften his tone and coax his wife. “We really can’t afford to offend that person. Are you going to throw me into this as well?”
“Why don’t you think about it? Without some background, who would dare to touch my son in my bar?”
“We’ll take this lying down for now. However, I promise you that if there’s a chance in the future, I’ll help my son vent his anger, okay?”
When Sun Fang heard Liu Zhigang’s words, she knew that she had met a tough nut. Although she was unwilling, she could only nod after Liu Zhigang coaxed her.
However, when she turned around and saw her son lying on the hospital bed like a mummy, she couldn’t help but cry again. Seeing this, Liu Zhigang could only sigh in his heart.
People said that women were made of water, but his wife was simply made of waterfalls.
