Chapter 11: Xia Ke'an
The words are divided into two ends.
Walking out of the door of "Prism", seeing that the time was just after noon, Xu Shi was ready to go to the hospital and take care of Xia Wuwu's affairs.
The executive car sped silently down the road, half lying in the back seat, and he hummed a little song softly.
Although it is not possible to completely solve the scourge of Shen He now, Xu Shi knows very well that with the current strength of "Xinghuo", such a rout is enough to make him lose his vitality.
Shen He will definitely not be able to jump in a short period of time, which also allows Xu Shi to distract himself from dealing with some other things.
Not to mention that the hidden danger of Xia Wuwu has also been initially eliminated...... It's certainly a good feeling.
In comparison, Xia Wuwu, who was sitting next to him, seemed much sluggish.
Activating her ability earlier, it overloaded her body and turned pale.
In addition, she was forced to do something against her will, and the mental burden also tortured her a lot, and the whole person leaned on the car door, unconsciously shrinking into a ball.
The only thing she is thankful for is that Xu Shi really fulfilled his promise.
In fact, she never had much expectation, and if he wanted to break his promise, there was nothing he could do...... So she just wanted to remind Xu Shi not to forget what you promised or something.
But she didn't expect that everything had been arranged, which made her feel a little good about Xu Shi.
At least this man is talking.
Of course, that's only for this point, the hatred for him will not change because of this, and the aura on both sides of the back seat still can't be blended together.
In a short time, several people arrived at their destination, Hualan Public Hospital in District 12.
The area of Night Sin City is divided by numbers, with lower numbers representing less security.
Although the 12th District belongs to Night City, it is only slightly higher than the level of the 11th District of Sin City.
Most of the people of Night City do not regard the residents of this area as their own, but are habitually classified as "untouchables of the Sin City".
It is conceivable that the conditions of such a local hospital, especially the charitable hospital built by the city hall, are certainly not much better.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of chlorine, patients with cheap prosthetics were huddled together, wailing and moaning, and nurses hurried through the crowd, snorting impatiently.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shi's mood suddenly turned cloudy, and he frowned unconsciously.
But this is also the best medical condition that Xia Wuwu can find.
Although the high-risk tasks of the consortium paid handsomely, the sky-high prices of life-sustaining drugs still made her unable to make ends meet, and the remaining money could not afford a single ward elsewhere.
You can't go back to the city of sin...... The situation there will only be worse.
It wasn't until the end of the corridor on the third floor that it was clearer, and two men in black in suits and leather shoes stood in front of the door expressionlessly, invisibly separating an area.
This is a bodyguard arranged in advance.
In the ward, a little white-haired girl in a hospital gown was leaning on the hospital bed, quietly reading the yellowed book in her hand.
Her body was covered in various pipes, and her skin was unhealthily pale under the light of artificial fluorescent lamps.
She is Xia Wuwu's sister-in-law, Xia Ke'an.
"Huh? Worry-free, how did you get here? ”
Hearing the movement of opening the door, Xia Ke'an put down the book in his hand, and in addition to joy, he was also a little surprised in his tone, "Didn't you go to work today?" ”
"Auntie!"
Xia Wuwu walked to the hospital bed in three steps and two steps, and held her hand tightly.
It wasn't until this moment that her heartstrings, which had been tense all these days, finally relaxed, if it weren't for Xu Shi's presence, I was afraid that she would have cried.
"What's the matter, you kid, panicking?"
The white-haired Lori sighed and reached out to brush her hair, "I'm not good...... Well, who is this? ”
Only then did she notice Xu Shi behind her niece.
"Hello, Miss Xia Ke'an."
Xu Shi greeted her politely, "I am Xu Shi, Team Leader Xia's boss." ”
"You are Xu Dong?"
Xia Ke'an sighed lightly, and immediately smiled, "I really didn't expect you to come in person...... Isn't it worry-free that this kid is causing you trouble? ”
It sounded like a parent's uneasy words when facing the home visit, but it didn't seem to see how surprised she was by Xu Shi's arrival.
"How so? Team Leader Xia is the most competent employee I have ever met. ”
Xu Shi waved his hand, "So after hearing what she said about Miss Ke'an's situation, I was also very happy to help." ”
"Is that so?"
The white-haired Lori was stunned, and when she looked at Xia Wuwu again, her face was a little more relieved, "That's really thankful." ”
"Miss Ke'an doesn't have to be polite."
Xu Shi still smiled, "Then let's leave now, shall we?" ”
-------------------------------------
The other side.
A certain station of "Starfire".
"What do you say? Annihilated?! ”
Hearing the news, Shen He, who was originally complacent, suddenly froze in place.
“…… Is it such a Shen chieftain, the one who survived...... It's just the two of us. ”
The scarred warrior replied weakly.
"So, Chen let him ...... How so? ”
Shen He was a little confused, "We obviously deduced so many times in advance, why did this happen?" ”
"Because that information is fake! The actual strength of the other side is several times more, and they are all heavy troops! ”
The other person's face was full of resentment, "Even I saw it, Miss Xia, she ......"
"What's wrong with her?" Shen He asked anxiously.
“…… Captain Chen died at her hands. ”
“…… No way! ”
After a few seconds of silence, Shen He's voice became a little out of control, "I understand her, how could she ......"
He didn't expect that the arrangement of the "snake ring" was so terrifying.
He was already very cautious, and considered in advance the issue of the other party's possible increase in troops, so he kept an eye on it and asked Xia Wuwu for a second confirmation.
There was indeed a discrepancy between the two pieces of information he had obtained, which made him dispel his concerns.
But he didn't think of this possibility - both pieces of information were fake.
This kind of calculation made him a little breathless, as if he could hear the other party's ridicule in the dark.
But what he couldn't accept even more was Xia Wuwu's betrayal.
After all, in the past ten years in Sin City, many times he relied on good memories of the past to persevere.
Parents, Friends...... And Xia Wuwu also occupies a large part of it.
So when he contacted each other before, he was really happy, and he thought more than once about being able to reunite with her and then fight side by side together.
But he didn't expect the ending to be like this - the other party not only betrayed him, but even executed the right-hand man beside him with his own hands.
It's like...... It's like showing loyalty to someone.
Shen He didn't want to believe that this was true, but he also knew that there was no need for two people who escaped death to tell lies.
It also made him even more miserable.
“…… Let's do it first, and you two go back and recuperate. ”
It was a moment before he came to his senses and took a deep breath.
Losing everything in his first move was a big blow to him, and he needed someone to take a good break.
"Xu Shi ......"
Shen He bit his nails hard and paid attention to the name for the first time.
Soon, however, the communication on the table rang out at an inopportune time.
It's probably the last thing he wants to hear right now...... After being silent for a long time, Shen He stubbornly connected it.
