Luckily, this place was less than two kilometers from the sea. He hastily stuffed a few stones into the sack and threw it straight into the water. Only then did Wang Xuan let out a long breath. As long as there was no concrete evidence, he had nothing to fear from the police.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Wang Xuan secretly removed the protective gear strapped to his arm. The Dragon Tiger Leopard had been fairly useful. Although the iron plate and magazines had been hacked open in several places, there was only one actual wound—the one caused by Yougui's slash. Not only had it cleaved completely through the protective gear, it had also cut a deep gash in his arm. Fortunately, the gear had kept the flesh from splitting open, and he had not lost much blood. He hastily wrapped it with a bandage.
After getting into the car, they drove straight to a private hospital they knew well. Whether from blood loss or the exhaustion that came after his adrenaline wore off, Wang Xuan was already feeling dizzy.
He took off his clothes, and after examining the several knife wounds on Wang Xuan's back, the doctor said, "It's fine. The wounds aren't deep. Just stitch them up and make sure they don't get infected."
The nurse in charge of stitching him up was a very pretty young woman, probably around twenty. She was holding a syringe and preparing to inject the anesthetic.
"Miss, be gentle. Really, be gentle!" Wang Xuan's entire face twisted together. He squeezed his eyes shut, gritted his teeth, and furrowed his brows into a knot. Hunched over, he kept instinctively trying to dodge.
Baki stood to the side, laughing so hard he bent forward and backward.
Only after he felt the injection was finished did Wang Xuan let out a long breath. Sweat had already rolled down his forehead.
He raised a hand to wipe away the sweat, only to see that the pretty nurse had taken out the special tools for stitching wounds: two pairs of tweezers and a curved needle that looked like a fishhook, its tip glinting coldly.
Looking at those tools, Wang Xuan's lips had gone purple with fear. His face looked as though his father had just died, and he said with a trembling, tearful voice, "Miss, miss, please be gentle!"
Feeling the pretty nurse step behind him one step at a time, apparently ready to begin stitching, Wang Xuan started dodging left and right, shouting incoherently.
"Be gentle, please! I'm begging you! I'll take you out to eat when we get back, and I'll take you shopping too. I swear, every word is true!"
"Don't move! I'll stitch it wrong!"
Her voice was soft, but those words still frightened Wang Xuan's body rigid. He felt something pierce through his flesh and hook it upward. His face instantly turned pale, and his eyes rolled as if he wished he could faint on the spot.
Looking at Wang Xuan's terrified appearance, Baki truly couldn't reconcile him with the imposing madman who had struck fear into his enemies and chased hundreds of people single-handedly.
The sense of disconnect was simply too strong!
"I'm saying, do you really have to act like this? You were so fierce when you were cutting people down just now. You swung that battle saber around and seriously injured more than a dozen people. In the end, even Yougui, the Hong Yi Society's Red Staff, died by your hand. You were covered in wounds and didn't even frown. But now you're getting stitched up, and it doesn't even hurt. Do you really have to be this scared?!"
Wang Xuan exploded at once. "How is it not a big deal? How is it not?! Can that be compared?"
"If someone else slashes at me, I can dodge. I can even slash him ten times in return! But can I dodge now?! Can I fight back?! Can this be compared?!"
"Hahahaha, I'm dying! You can get revenge now too." Baki's brows rose, and his tone became extremely lecherous. "You can repay her tenfold or a hundredfold later. What do you say? Don't tell me you don't have the ability! Hahaha!"
Oh no!
He was doomed. Absolutely doomed!
Wang Xuan immediately felt a chill behind him. The pretty nurse's hand had clearly grown heavier, and her movements became much rougher when she hooked up his flesh.
"Miss, calm down! Don't listen to my boss spouting nonsense. I swear to heaven, I absolutely won't do that. I'd rather die!" Wang Xuan immediately began swearing an oath.
The pretty nurse's hand paused. She gave a cold snort through her nose, then her movements became even heavier.
No... What was that supposed to mean?!
Cold sweat instantly broke out all over Wang Xuan.
Women!
Couldn't you be a little reasonable?!
Whether I did it or didn't do it was wrong either way. What exactly did you want? Say something!
At that moment, Wang Xuan's brain began burning furiously. In a flash of inspiration, his mouth rattled like a machine gun, firing off one phrase after another.
"Miss, you're like a gentle cloud drifting back and forth before my eyes. A beautiful springlike smile ripples across your delicate and elegant face. In those large, bright eyes of yours, I can always glimpse your serenity, your passion, your intelligence, and your sensitivity.
"You're a butterfly among the flowers, a budding lily. No matter what clothes you wear, they always look dignified and beautiful on you.
"Your graceful figure, your charming and lovely appearance, your flirtatious yet proper manner, and your elegant, generous speech made me see you in an entirely new light from the very beginning.
"When I look at you, I feel that nothing in the world could be ugly, because your beauty adorns everything!"
"Miss! Be gentle!"
"Pfft!" The pretty nurse giggled and lightly smacked Wang Xuan once on the back. "What a smooth talker. You obviously aren't a good person. Don't move! I'll stitch it wrong!"
"Whew!" Wang Xuan softly exhaled. The pretty nurse's movements had clearly become gentler!
Baki stood there with his mouth hanging open, staring at Wang Xuan in shock. That mouth of his was far too good with words. What he had said was truly... truly... beautiful.
He racked his own impoverished brain, but he genuinely couldn't think of the right words to describe Wang Xuan's speech.
Fine. He was just a salted fish who only knew how to shout "666."
Once the wound had been stitched, Wang Xuan seemed completely drained. It was even more exhausting than fighting!
His arm, shoulder, and back were wrapped up like a mummy. His chest was especially bad: it had even been tied with a pretty bow. The corner of Wang Xuan's mouth twitched, and he forced out a smile.
"This bow is really beautiful. It's a heart-shaped bow, and I like it very much. I sincerely thank you—not only for your beauty, but also for having such an innocent, kind heart that knows how to appreciate beauty!"
"Hmph! You make it sound nice, but who knows what you're really thinking? Remember to change the dressing tomorrow, so it doesn't get infected!"
The pretty nurse removed her mask and rolled her eyes at Wang Xuan. "All right, hurry up and leave before the police come over!"
"Miss, I'm leaving. Thank you. See you tomorrow. I'll be thinking about you tonight!" He did his best to put on a friendly smile, showing eight gleaming teeth in a textbook-perfect display.
Wang Xuan and the others left the hospital room. Suddenly, a voice came from behind them: "Have Brother Ji call me tomorrow. I'll come change your dressing. You're always coming to the hospital, and it doesn't look good!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Wang Xuan finally asked, "Boss seems very familiar with that pretty woman. Is she one of us? You two don't seem to hold anything back when you talk!"
Baki shook his head and looked at Wang Xuan with faint admiration. "You're something else, kid. She probably wouldn't usually give us the time of day. What happened today was truly unprecedented!"
