152: Chapter 151: So Many Enemies 152: Chapter 151: So Many Enemies The First Hospital, inside the VIP ward.
Song Yun lay alone on the hospital bed, staring at the somewhat pale ceiling.
He hated the smell of the hospital and was overwhelmed by the sense of despair that seemed to permeate it from inside out.
Song Yun had refused to see everyone, for it was only when no one disturbed him that he could calm his mind and sort out his recent affairs.
He found that some things had gone beyond his expectations.
The first thing he wanted upon returning to Sunan City was to live a peaceful life, to find a woman who cared for him, have a couple of kids, and lead a simple life.
But the old man sent him to the Li Family, and so he got engaged to Li Shishi.
It all started from that turning point.
Song Yun felt as though he had been pulled into an abyss whose bottom he couldn’t see.
He’d been in and out of police stations, engaged in wits and bravery with RB agents, established the Shura Alliance, made it onto the Dragon List, and every now and then, he felt the crass urge to take down Dong Linze.
Were all these things he wanted to do?
Song Yun didn’t know.
Now, he was also a bit confused about what was going on.
He was like someone watching others swim by the water’s edge, who was suddenly pushed in, and the person who pushed him didn’t care if he could swim well or not.
They just kept making him move forward.
“Slap.”
Song Yun slapped himself.
What the hell was he thinking?
Life was just like that, it was either kill or be killed.
If he wanted to live better and protect others, he had to keep training himself.
With the thought of protecting others, Song Yun began to come to terms with his past actions.
He pressed the nurse’s call button.
Soon after, a young nurse opened the door, accompanied by the nauseating smell of the disinfectant water.
Song Yun looked at the nurse and smiled, “Do you have a notebook and a pen?
I need to write some things down.”
“We do, I’ll get it for you right away.” The nurse gave Song Yun a professional smile and left.
Once Song Yun got the notebook and pen, he began pondering a question—who had brought that Taoist in, and who was behind orchestrating the entire event.
Those local organizations?
It wasn’t impossible since the Shura Alliance had expanded very quickly recently, growing from an unknown Little Insect to a force that now stood a chance of becoming a Poisonous Dragon.
It would be natural for those three organizations to feel threatened and hire someone to deal with him.
But why would they use a grenade out in the open?
This was a point of doubt; as powerful as they were, they weren’t capable of using such large-scale weapons in broad daylight.
Could it be those foreign organizations that had accepted the assassination job on Xia Tian?
He had clashed with members of their organization before, and even forcibly kept some of them in Sunan City.
If it were them, they might have used the grenades, given their reckless way of doing things.
Right, almost forgot about those damned RB agents.
Those people would stoop to anything to achieve their goals.
If they had a bit of sense left, they would probably figure out all these events.
If he became the biggest obstacle, they would certainly seek revenge.
Yeah, count them as a suspect too.
In just half an hour, Song Yun filled a whole piece of paper with the names of his suspects.
The list of his enemies was too long, and those who hated him enough to flay and bone him were not few.
Each one had the capacity and motive to harm him.
Sigh, if he had been heartless enough to capture the True Yang Immortal that time, maybe he could have moved up the chain of command.
With the notebook in his palm, Song Yun looked at the names on it and burst into laughter without warning.
In the empty room, Song Yun laughed hysterically like a madman.
His laughter, echoing through the pale surroundings, was arrogant, dismal, lonely, and furious—it sent chills down one’s spine, yet also seemed pitiable.
“They all want to kill me, they all want to take my life, haha, come on then, I’m right here in the hospital, come and kill me.” Tears streamed out as Song Yun laughed, falling from his cheeks onto the sheets, “I’ve lived more than twenty years, and in those years, I’ve done nothing but kill or prevent being killed.
But who would have thought that all of you demons and monsters would suddenly emerge?
Do you really want my life that badly?”
Song Yun spoke to the air, and this eerie behavior deterred the young nurse standing outside from knocking on the door.
She knew that no one had entered the room since this patient was admitted.
With no one inside, who was he talking to?
Could it be ghosts?
With so many souls in the hospital, perhaps some sightless one had come out.
With that thought, the nurse shivered and ran off.
Thump, thump, thump …
Someone knocked on the door.
Song Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at the room door.
He had already called his women to tell them he wasn’t badly hurt and they didn’t need to come to the hospital specially.
So, who could it be?
Could it be his crow’s mouth had become a reality?
Those bastards planned to eradicate the roots?
“Come in,” said Song Yun, wiping the corner of his eyes, his voice hoarse.
The door to the ward opened, and Li Shishi entered, sweating profusely.
Seeing Song Yun lying on the bed, smiling at her, she let go of the concern in her heart.
“I’m glad you’re alright.
I thought you were in serious trouble and didn’t dare to tell them,” Li Shishi chided as she sat beside Song Yun’s bed.
“Do you know how I felt when I heard you were injured by a grenade?
Can’t you just live each day properly?”
“I would love to live a good life, but some people just won’t let me be happy.
They can’t stand seeing me content, so they came to give me a hard time,” Song Yun said with a chuckle.
“And you, hustling to see the patient and didn’t even bring anything.”
“Where would I find the time?
As soon as I heard you were in trouble, I rushed over.
I’m just glad you’re fine,” Li Shishi replied as she poured herself a cup and gulped it down.
“Do you have any suspects, like the attack we experienced after leaving Uncle Wang’s house?”
“It’s not impossible, but I have so many suspects it’s hard to know who the culprit is,” Song Yun shrugged.
“Luckily, my little cosmos burst forth this time, just leaving a few shrapnel cuts on my back.”
“Ah!
You hurt your back; why aren’t you lying face down?
Really, the weather is so hot, do you want your wound to get infected?
At your age, can’t you take better care of yourself?” Li Shishi flung back the covers and ordered Song Yun to lie face down, then began to check the wound.
“It’s okay, such a minor injury won’t be fatal.
Back when I was overseas, my guts almost spilled out, and now aren’t I still alive and kicking, causing trouble?” Song Yun was not at all annoyed by Li Shishi’s fuss; on the contrary, he felt comforted.
“Ptui, ptui, ptui, don’t talk like that,” she scolded, flicking Song Yun’s head, “Song Yun, you must be careful.
I don’t want to find out you died out in some field and be the one to identify your body.”
“Don’t worry, good people don’t live long, disasters last a thousand years.
I’m such a calamity, I’ve got to live life to the fullest,” Song Yun said.
“Plus, I’ve got so many things left to do; I’m not ready to die.”
“Yeah, including all those women you haven’t conquered; you can’t be rushing off to heaven so soon,” Li Shishi pouted teasingly.
“Don’t say that, I’m actually very pure,” said Song Yun with feigned shyness.
“If you’re pure, then there are no pure people in this world,” Li Shishi retorted.
“Since you’re okay, I’m going to go.
I’ve got a lot to take care of at the company.
Rest up here and don’t run around.”
“Okay,” Song Yun obediently said.
Li Shishi always had a soft spot for good kids, so after planting a kiss on his forehead, she left.
