Chapter 1245: Chapter 1243: Going Abroad Again!

“Young Master Hao!”

When Hao Jian arrived at the hospital, a subordinate squatting by the entrance like a guard immediately recognized him and ran up to him with a grin, respectfully calling out.

“Where’s Spice Ginger?”

Nodding to the two subordinates, Hao Jian asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, one of them pointed towards the inpatient department and said, “Miss Qingxue has just come out of the operating room, Young Master Hao, rest assured, the surgery went smoothly, and no one dared to come over. She is now in a private ward in the inpatient department, and Brother Spice Ginger along with several of the big brothers are guarding her.”

Hao Jian waved his hand, gesturing for the two to continue their guard, then proceeded upstairs with the three girls. As for Zhang Hai, he had left after dropping Hao Jian at the hospital entrance.

There are plenty of opportunities to get closer, no need to rush and leave a bad impression on Hao Jian. Moreover, he’s got a more important issue at hand, which involves handling Teng Ziwei with Lin Ya to make sure he knows whom he can mess with and whom he cannot.

Most importantly, this guy not only filed a false report but also used Hao Jian’s name to threaten others, and that can’t go unaddressed. When did he ever know such a coward?

“Hao Jian, were those two guys your subordinates just now? They looked pretty fierce…”

As the four of them walked into the inpatient building, Ye Ni couldn’t resist her curiosity and giggled as she spoke. Her words caught the attention of the other two girls who looked eagerly at Hao Jian.

As students, combined with the excellent upbringing from their families, they had never seen anything like this; those Mafia-like scenes were only something they’d witnessed on TV.

Now, seeing it all unfold before their eyes, they were truly curious. If Hao Jian chose not to answer, they wouldn’t insist, as they understood it to be his prerogative, one they had to respect.

“It’s nothing much, really.”

Hao Jian touched his nose and smiled, “Those two guys are posted at the door because they look tough. It’s not how you think it is; they actually have the best temper among all.”

At this point, Hao Jian stopped talking. Sometimes, it’s best not to reveal everything, and sometimes what one hears might not dispel curiosity, but instead bring danger.

As the top underground organization in Hua City, their adversaries are no longer ordinary people but powerful forces, like those Hao Jian encountered, who are the real enemies.

Once the three girls get too involved with his organization or know too much, there’s no guarantee those forces wouldn’t take them hostage to coerce him.

Resistance is one thing, but these three girls don’t have any capability to fight back at all.

Take Hao Jian’s own confidantes—who among them knows his full potential? Almost none do, because he doesn’t want them to come to harm.

If anything were to happen to the three girls because of him, Hao Jian firmly believes Lin Qingxue might not blame him, but there would certainly be a barrier in her heart.

With this in mind, Hao Jian reached the floor where Lin Qingxue’s room was located. As for the three girls, after Hao Jian’s remarks, they no longer asked questions. Ever perceptive, they understood his meaning.

Even the slightly confused Ye Ni, when she wanted to ask more, was held back by Molan and Ailin, which naturally relieved Hao Jian.

After all, if those three kept asking, Hao Jian would be torn about whether to answer. Since they’re not pushing it now, it’s for the best.

“Young Master Hao, you are here!”

Standing at the ward’s entrance was one of Spice Ginger’s trusted men. If Hao Jian remembered correctly, this guy was called Green Wolf. Hao Jian wasn’t sure if this was his real name or a nickname.

Green Wolf’s gaze was indeed like that of a wolf king, exceptionally fierce, making one feel a chill upon meeting it. This immediately intimidated the three girls.

“Haha, looks like Spice Ginger knows how to use his men, actually sending you here. Isn’t he worried about the security on his side?”

While the three girls were subdued by Green Wolf’s stare, Hao Jian chuckled lightly and patted his shoulder.

“Young Master Hao, don’t worry, the safety in Hua City is always arranged by Brother Spice Ginger. I just happened to be free, so he pulled me over. Besides, there are plenty of strong brothers guarding there, nothing will happen!”

Facing Hao Jian’s gesture, Green Wolf tried to crack a smile, albeit it was a stiff one, but one he would only show for Hao Jian.

“I’m going to see Spice Ginger.”

After another shoulder pat, Hao Jian led the three girls inside, though they couldn’t help but feel scared as they passed Green Wolf.

In this situation, Hao Jian didn’t quite know what to say, other than noting that their tolerance was somewhat low. Green Wolf wasn’t even the fiercest among his men—at least this guy could smile, while others couldn’t even do that.

Always with a stern face, it was only in front of him that they might relax slightly, yet even towards Spice Ginger, the apparent leader, they did what they had to without fuss.

While these men were like this, their loyalty was beyond question, or they wouldn’t be among Spice Ginger’s trusted subordinates. As Spice Ginger put it, these men were proud, but they had the right to their pride.

“Young Master Hao!”

Upon entering the ward, Spice Ginger, who was keeping watch by the window, turned his head and immediately saw Hao Jian. His face showed surprise as he quickly ran over, respectfully bowing and saying, “Young Master Hao, as expected, Miss Qingxue is fine. The doctor also said that although her injury seemed severe, with just over half a month’s rest, she’ll be able to walk.”

“Currently, she’s in a coma after the surgery, but she will wake up tomorrow morning, Young Master, rest assured!”

“Was it tough this time?”

Hao Jian listened, nodding his head, looking at Lin Qingxue on the bed with her eyebrows furrowed, a somewhat pitiful sight, then turned his head to look at Spice Ginger.

Upon hearing this, Spice Ginger quickly shook his head, saying, “This time, with your permission, I used the helicopter from the rooftop of the building, so I managed to get here quickly, just losing some fuel and being noticed by the lookouts in Hua City.”

“It’s fine.”

Hao Jian shook his head, then looked at the three eagerly watching girls behind him. Hao Jian smiled and said, “If you want to go over and see, just go ahead, it’s fine.”

“Little Xiaoxue!”

The three girls, Molan, upon receiving permission, carefully ran over to Lin Qingxue’s bedside, seeing her in a slightly painful state, they felt a bit heartbroken, gently calling her name, but soon closed their mouths, quietly watching, they didn’t want their noise to wake the sleeping Lin Qingxue.

“Young Master Hao…”

Seeing the three girls walk over, Spice Ginger’s eyes flickered slightly, then glanced at Hao Jian.

“Let’s talk outside.”

Hao Jian waved his hand, pointing to the door, then turned and left the room, with Spice Ginger nodding and following behind Hao Jian, closing the door on the way, and standing in the hallway.

“Young Master Hao, Brother Spice Ginger!”

As soon as Green Wolf saw Hao Jian and Spice Ginger, he turned his head and nodded stiffly.

“You brat…”

Seeing this guy still with the same attitude, Spice Ginger glared at him, somewhat exasperated. If it weren’t for this guy insisting on coming in back then, he wouldn’t have taken in such an expressionless subordinate.

What he hadn’t expected was that this guy admired Hao Jian’s presence, which was why he wanted to squeeze in. When he got the news, he could only smile bitterly back then.

“Speak, what’s going on?”

Hao Jian waved his hand, prompting Spice Ginger to speak.

Hearing this, Spice Ginger’s face suddenly grew serious, carefully speaking, “When I came over, I noticed several forces lingering around the hospital, but because I brought only the elites this time, they didn’t dare to make a move. However, I’ve already sent people to secretly take some of them down.”

“From their mouths, I’ve learned a lot of troubling information…”

“Speak.”

Hao Jian’s gaze grew heavy, faintly flickering, and he spoke in a low tone.

No wonder, as soon as he entered the hospital, he saw irregular marks on the grass that shouldn’t have been there. From this point, Hao Jian had already deduced a lot of information.

“Mercenary Alliance…”

Spice Ginger slowly spoke, looking at Hao Jian, his voice trembling slightly.

“I already knew, which is also why I had you send people over.”

Not escaping his guess, Hao Jian nodded, then looked at Green Wolf, saying, “Green Wolf, remember, you all must stay here and protect my woman well. If anything happens to my woman, I’ll hold you accountable!”

“Yes!”

Green Wolf replied with the same tone, but Hao Jian heard the sense of duty from his voice.

Smiling and nodding, feeling quite moved, Hao Jian looked at the ceiling, silently sighing, what was bound to come has come. Since you’ve started acting against me, don’t blame me, Hao Jian, for being ruthless!

“Young Master Hao!”

Seeing Hao Jian’s eyes gradually turn cold, Spice Ginger’s heart trembled, and he shouted.

His gaze gradually cleared, looking at Spice Ginger, Hao Jian shook his head, saying, “This matter is too dangerous, you don’t need to stay by my side this time. Once Qingxue wakes up, help me send her back to Hua City, only there will I feel a bit at ease.”

“It will also make it easier for you all to protect her together, no need to be running back and forth.”

“Alright!”

Being refused by Hao Jian, Spice Ginger could only put on a bitter face. Over the years, he continuously recruited strong subordinates, just to be a big help to Hao Jian. However, now, it seems he is still not recognized by Hao Jian.

“Alright then, the rest is up to you guys, those three girls in the room, take good care of them too. I’m heading back to Hua City first.”

After saying that, Hao Jian patted the two on the shoulders, then smiled at the few corners of the hallway, as a sort of greeting.
