Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Forced Inspection
Xiao Han seemed rather silent, somewhat still.
“Your leg…” Mo Shaocong hurriedly spoke, “Do you want to go to the hospital to have a look? And your hand, it’s all mangled.”
Xiao Han looked at his hand and, indeed, there was not an intact piece of skin left on the back of his hand. Last time, it was Liu Sisi who had bandaged him. It seemed that this time, he couldn’t ask her to do it again, otherwise she might harbor resentment, right?
“No need,” Xiao Han shook his head and then said, “It’s just a minor injury, nothing serious.”
“Alright,” Mo Shaocong nodded, “Then I’ll take you back to school now. Later, when I get those two copper mines, I will definitely give you one.”
“No need,” Xiao Han shook his head.
“Since big brother has said he will give it, he definitely will,” Mo Shaocong said earnestly. “Don’t reject my kindness.”
Xiao Han remained silent.
Back at school, Mo Shaocong dropped Xiao Han off at the school gates and hurried back to the provincial city. Mo Shaocong had to return to have a good talk with those rich young men from the capital. After all, such a great opportunity couldn’t be missed easily.
Xiao Han stood alone at the school’s entrance, limping. No one knew how painful it was for him to take each step. The intense pain when a steel needle was thrust into one’s bone marrow was incomparable to any other pain, especially without an anesthetic.
“Xiao Han!” Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
“Sisi?” Xiao Han was startled.
“What happened to you?” Liu Sisi walked out from a café across the street.
“Nothing…” Xiao Han quickly shook his head, subconsciously hiding his hand behind his back.
“What are you hiding?” Liu Sisi frowned then said, “Show me your hand, let me have a look.”
Xiao Han hesitated, then said, “It’s nothing.”
While speaking, Xiao Han took a step back and immediately fell to the ground. He sat down heavily. Liu Sisi gasped in shock and hurried over to help Xiao Han up. Only then did she realize that his clothes were soaked with sweat. She looked down and exclaimed, “Oh my god, your hand!”
“I…” Xiao Han didn’t know how to explain.
“Did you get into another fight?” Liu Sisi glared at Xiao Han.
“Yes, sort of,” Xiao Han said helplessly.
“And what about your leg?” Liu Sisi asked sternly.
“It’s just a little injury,” Xiao Han replied.
“Come with me for a check-up,” Liu Sisi urged.
“No need,” Xiao Han shook his head.
“No, you must go!” Liu Sisi, being a nurse, felt responsible for Xiao Han’s life and strongly insisted that he must get examined.
Unable to withstand the persistent pleading from Liu Sisi, Xiao Han could only follow her to the Kangning Clinic.
After a thorough check-up, it turned out his body didn’t have any serious problems. Liu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“I told you it was nothing,” Xiao Han said.
“You were lucky this time, but you might not have such good luck next time!” Liu Sisi’s father glanced at Xiao Han and said, “Xiao Han, those needle marks on your leg; you’ve been hit with a hidden weapon, haven’t you? If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been involved in underground fighting, right?”
“Uncle Liu, how did you know?” Xiao Han asked in surprise.
“Hmph!” Uncle Liu snorted and said, “Today, the hospital received several critical patients, and they called me to consult. When I looked over their cases, two of the five had died and three were saved. They all had the same steel needles in them as you do. Moreover, they were all sent from the Underground Boxing Ring.”
“Xiao Han, you’re crazy!” Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han, dumbfounded, and said, “You…You’ve actually been underground fighting!”
“Yes,” Xiao Han nodded.
“Do you know how brutal it is in there?” Liu Sisi glared at Xiao Han and continued, “Do you know how ruthless the people in there are? People die every week. How could you…How could you dare to fight in there?”
Confronted with Liu Sisi’s questioning, Xiao Han was at a loss for words. Indeed, he didn’t know what to say. After all, he was there to help out.
“I…” Xiao Han hesitated, then said, “Just to make some money.”
“You’re insane,” Liu Sisi stared at Xiao Han and said, “Are you earning money with your life? Which is more important, money or life?”
“Both are important,” Xiao Han smiled.
“I’m speechless!” Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han disapprovingly and said, “You escaped this time, but it won’t be so easy next time.”
After saying that, Liu Sisi began to bandage Xiao Han seriously.
Liu Sisi looked beautiful and adorable when she was serious. Her movements were gentle; she was afraid of hurting Xiao Han, so she tried to make her touches as soft and as tender as possible.
Liu Sisi gently disinfected Xiao Han’s wounds and carefully bandaged them up. Her slender eyelashes fluttered like two rows of brushes, her fair complexion flawless. With just a touch of makeup, she looked even more enchanting.
“Sisi, thank you.” Xiao Han looked seriously at Liu Sisi.
“What are you thanking me for?” Liu Sisi glanced at Xiao Han and said, “Can you promise me not to fight in the underground boxing ring anymore?”
“Yeah, I won’t go anymore.” Xiao Han shook his head.
“Really?” Liu Sisi looked up at Xiao Han.
“Of course it’s true!” Xiao Han nodded.
Liu Sisi showed a sweet smile and then said, “That’s what you said, if I find out you go to the underground boxing ring again, see how I’ll deal with you!”
“Yeah!” Xiao Han nodded and said, “I definitely won’t go.”
“That’s good.” Liu Sisi nodded.
After much effort, they finished bandaging Xiao Han’s hand, and his leg could only heal on its own. The needle holes in his leg had healed, and though it hurt to walk, it didn’t affect anything and wouldn’t leave any aftereffects.
After wrapping it up, Liu Sisi smiled and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to school.”
As the two of them left Kangning Clinic, Uncle Liu seemed somewhat reluctant. Stroking his chin’s beard, he said, “Come back early, don’t stay out overnight, hear me?”
“I know!” Liu Sisi glanced at him and then said, “Of course I know…”
“Hmph!” Uncle Liu snorted coldly, then turned and went back into the clinic.
Liu Sisi, arm in arm with Xiao Han, claimed it was because Xiao Han was injured and needed support. In her heart, however, she was overjoyed since she could openly help Xiao Han, so Liu Sisi was feeling very happy inside.
“By the way, did you come to school for something?” Xiao Han asked.
“Isn’t your school on break?” Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han and then said, “I guessed you might be going home, so I came to find you.”
“I’m going home tomorrow.” Xiao Han took Liu Sisi into his arms and smiled, “Why don’t you come with me? My mom has been thinking about you.”
“Ah?” Liu Sisi’s face turned slightly red and she said, “Why is she thinking of me?”
“She says you’re clever and wants to trick you into coming home to be my wife!” Xiao Han chuckled.
“Ah?!” Liu Sisi’s face immediately flushed red. Teased by Xiao Han, her heart couldn’t stop pounding ‘thump, thump.’ Xiao Han held Liu Sisi tightly in his arms. Liu Sisi quickly broke free from Xiao Han’s hands and said, “Don’t get close to me, I don’t want to be your wife!”
“You don’t like the idea?” Xiao Han asked.
“Of course not!” Liu Sisi shook her head and said, “I’m two years older than you.”
“A woman three years older is like a gold brick.” Xiao Han laughed.
“Get out of here.” Liu Sisi pursed her lips and said, “I’m only two years older than you, not three.”
“No problem, a whole gold brick is too heavy for me to carry, two-thirds of a gold brick is enough.” Xiao Han grinned and laughed.
“Nonsense and heresy!” Liu Sisi rolled her eyes at Xiao Han.
Joking and laughing, they walked for a while before Xiao Han hailed a taxi to head to school. The journey to school was really too far; if they walked back, it would take a very long time. By taxi, it took just over half an hour.
Liu Sisi took Xiao Han to the school entrance, her face showing a bit of reluctance to leave.
“What’s the matter?” Xiao Han smiled and said, “Can’t bear to let me go?”
“Who can’t bear to let you go?” Liu Sisi defiantly looked at Xiao Han and then said, “I just want to watch you go in.”
“Alright then, I’m off.” Xiao Han turned to go.
“Wait!” Liu Sisi hurriedly called out to Xiao Han.
“What is it?” Xiao Han turned his head to look at Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi walked over slowly, then opened her backpack, took out her wallet from inside, and took out a stack of bills from the wallet. Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han and said, “Here’s three thousand yuan, take it.”
“Why are you giving me money?” Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
“I know your family is struggling, Auntie is unwell, and you still need to be provided for at school.” Liu Sisi bit her red lips and said, “Consider this three thousand yuan a way to lighten Auntie’s burden.”
“No!” Xiao Han shook his head.
“Take it.” Liu Sisi looked at Xiao Han and then said, “I don’t mean anything else by it, I just genuinely want to help you. I know it’s not much, but it’s my sentiment, okay?”
Xiao Han was touched by Liu Sisi’s sincere, earnest gaze. Perhaps Liu Sisi didn’t know that he was now worth tens of millions, nor did she know that he was about to become the owner of a copper mine. Once he took over the copper mine, his net worth would immediately exceed one billion, putting him on the rich list of the provincial city.
However, Liu Sisi’s three thousand yuan was obviously much more precious than the value of that entire copper mine. Xiao Han put the money into his pocket and said, “Sisi, thank you. Thank you for being so willing to help me, if you ever find yourself in a tight spot, I, Xiao Han, will surely spend all my money to help you.”
“Look at you.” Liu Sisi’s face turned red and she said, “You make it sound like you’ve got a lot of money.”
“Sisi, if you ever run into any trouble in the future, just let me know.” Xiao Han looked seriously at Liu Sisi and then earnestly said, “If there is anything I can help you with, I will not shy away, nor will I refuse.”
