A Man's Courage

The matter came to a close like this. The police were definitely keeping a close eye on us and those three guys. If someone dies in Hong Kong, it's going to be a huge mess, so we can't give the police any leverage.

If we're going to make a move, it can't be in Hong Kong. It's best to force them to use illegal channels to cross the border, that way it'll be more convenient.

Now that the enemies are in the hospital, once their true colors are revealed, they'll be nothing in Wang Xuan's eyes, and he naturally won't need to bother with them anymore.

The follow-up was simple. Two days later, after the three men were discharged, they were followed by thugs sent by Wang Xuan. Each man had three followers, holding up signs with enlarged newspaper clippings and photos, talking to everyone they met along the way.

The three men were stared at by citizens like they were monsters, and they were so ashamed they wished they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

As for fighting back against a few thugs, they didn't dare. They looked like three people, but who knew how many more were nearby!

They walked to the side of the road and raised their hands to hail a taxi to escape, but the thugs who followed them whispered a few words in the driver's ear, scaring the driver into fleeing immediately.

They couldn't even get a taxi, their butts hurt, they were being stared at and it was humiliating. The thugs blocked them from getting on the bus, and they couldn't beat them. Cao Hong and the other two felt like it was the end of the world, truly wishing they could just die and not have to suffer anymore.

Sometimes, living is harder than dying.

After finally making it home, they found people watching their homes. When they heard the situation from their families, Cao Hong felt like he was going to explode with anger. But as a former police officer, he knew reporting it to the police would be useless. They hadn't hit or insulted them, so what reason could they give to the police!

Their families couldn't stand the harassment and didn't dare to go out. There were always people around explaining that these were the relatives of the perverts from a few days ago, and they were utterly disgraced!

In less than ten days, the three men were forced to divorce. As for retaliating against Wang Xuan, there were always several people following them 24 hours a day, leaving them no chance to retaliate.

Unable to bear it any longer, they thought about going abroad. But as soon as they arrived at the airport, they were beaten. The attackers didn't run away, they were just arrested and taken away. Anyway, if you tried to enter the airport, they would beat you.

Wang Xuan's subordinates had plenty to do!

With no other options, under the cover of darkness, the three men ran to the pier and found a boat to go to Macau, and then escape from there.

However, they were apprehended by the people on the boat shortly after setting sail.

The next day, Wang Xuan appeared on the boat.

"Brother, spare me, please, spare me!" Cao Hong cried heartbreakingly. He had never imagined life could be so dark, that everyone would harbor malice towards him. The blows he had suffered during this period had completely broken him.

"Let you go? Heh, weren't you quite the tough guy!" Wang Xuan said with a smile, but his voice was bone-chillingly cold. "That day I swore I would kill you for an hour. A man's word is his bond!"

He was too lazy to waste words with the three of them. He ordered his men to sever their tendons and bind them with ropes, then throw them into the sea. He believed the smell of blood would attract carnivorous fish to help Wang Xuan fulfill his wish, bit by bit, eating them alive.

He wanted to make the three of them understand that death itself wasn't scary, but the process of dying was!

Of course, all of the above is a story for another time.

Returning to the present.

"Alright, enough about the police. Ah Wai, how was the place last night?"

Mentioning this, Ah Wai's chubby face immediately lit up with a smile. "It was booming, even more packed than the day before yesterday! We couldn't fit anyone else in!"

Although it was expected, and he had glanced downstairs earlier, seeing many people, Wang Xuan was still quite happy to hear Ah Wai confirm it. After all, making money was the top priority. As long as there was enough money, everything could be solved.

"That's good. You all go get some rest, you've been busy all night."

Wang Xuan hadn't slept very soundly himself last night, and he couldn't help but have nightmares.

With nothing else to do, he wanted to go for a walk and perhaps visit the beautiful Shen Leman to lift his spirits.

Arriving at the hospital, he went straight to the nurses' station. Seeing the bodyguards following Wang Xuan, no one dared to stop him. He pushed the door open and saw Shen Leman sitting there, lost in thought.

He walked over gently and patted Shen Leman's shoulder. "Ah Man, what are you thinking about!"

Seeing that it was Wang Xuan, a hint of joy flashed across Shen Leman's face, which quickly disappeared. She put on a stern face and asked, "Why has Brother Blood Dragon come to see me? Do you have any more orders!"

"Of course, I miss you. It feels like years since I last saw you. These few days have been filled with longing!" Wang Xuan placed his right hand over his chest and gazed at Shen Leman affectionately, his sweet words flowing effortlessly.

A blush crept onto Shen Leman's face, and she shyly lowered her head, not daring to meet Wang Xuan's eyes.

Even in liberal Hong Kong, few people could deliver such mushy and romantic love words as Wang Xuan.

In reality, most single people aren't incapable of speaking sweet nothings, they just lack the courage.

And what is courage?

Money is a man's courage. Now that Wang Xuan is not short of money, his courage has naturally grown, and these sweet words just roll off his tongue.

After a while, Shen Leman finally looked up, suppressing a smile, and playfully hit Wang Xuan's arm. "You can still think of me when you're in a den of vixen? Hmph, I don't believe you! Oh, and what about the rabbit spirit and the cat spirit!"

"Hiss," Wang Xuan gasped and shook his wrist.

"Huh! What's wrong!" Seeing Wang Xuan wince in pain, Shen Leman immediately grabbed his hand and rolled up his sleeve to check. A circle of abrasions appeared on his wrist, many areas were already rubbed raw and hadn't scabbed over yet, exposing fresh red flesh.

"Oh, how did you get this!" Shen Leman frowned with concern. "Sit down, I'll put some medicine on it for you!"

Wang Xuan briefly recounted what had happened yesterday. Shen Leman angrily cursed, "These damned cops, why are they bothering you instead of catching criminals?"

Wang Xuan's mouth twitched. Aren't I a criminal?

This sense of justice...

Shen Leman muttered as she organized her tools, "People like Jackals should be chopped to death with one blow. Should we let them continue to harm good people? This is called acting heroically and eliminating evil, just like on TV!"

"With so many bad guys in Hong Kong, smugglers, drug dealers, robbers, murderers, rapists, why aren't they catching them? Instead, they're harassing you and trying to extort bribes. Hmph, it's because of these scumbags that Hong Kong's public order is so poor!"

She picked up a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide and began to clean the wound, still talking non-stop. "It's okay, this is hydrogen peroxide, it doesn't hurt. If it were someone else, I'd use alcohol on them and make them scream in pain!" She then frowned again, her beautiful brows furrowing. "Look at what they did to your wrist, those damned cops. Next time a police officer comes, I'll show them how I deal with them!"

Wang Xuan's smile grew wider as he watched Shen Leman bustling about.

Was he a good person?

He definitely wasn't, but he wasn't exactly a bad person either.

He was conflicted about it himself, perhaps he was a bad person trying hard to be good.

If a woman would twist her entire worldview for you, you should cherish her if you ever met one!

He pulled his hand out of Shen Leman's grasp and grabbed her by the shoulders. Shen Leman looked up in confusion, only to see Wang Xuan's face drawing closer.
