136: Chapter 135: Specialization in Professions 136: Chapter 135: Specialization in Professions A man in a white coat approached Meng Ku.
“Are you the family members of Patient No.
3, Li Tang?”
“Yes, can I ask how my brother is doing now?
Has anything happened?” Song Yun rushed to speak first.
“The patient’s condition has become very optimistic, and he has been moved from the ICU to a regular ward.
He just needs a few weeks of rest to fully recover,” the doctor said with a professional smile.
“Thank you so much.
This is a little token of appreciation, please accept it,” Song Yun said as he stuffed an envelope into the doctor’s hand.
“No, no, our hospital has rules against accepting red envelopes,” the doctor declined.
“Hey, rules are rigid, but people are flexible.
You saved my brother’s life; this is the least you deserve.”
“Alright then, I’ll humbly accept it.
Remember, the patient must avoid spicy food and refrain from smoking and drinking,” the doctor said, weighing the envelope in his hand and sensing it was generously filled, he decided to accept it.
“Doctor, my brother needs to rest quietly.
Could you arrange a private room for him?” Song Yun asked with a smile.
“That can be arranged.
Someone come with me to handle the hospitalization procedures.”
Meng Ku volunteered to follow the doctor, while Song Yun, accompanied by Hua Manlou, entered the ward where Li Tang was staying.
Seeing Li Tang’s pale and exhausted face, Song Yun approached him with a smile, “Didn’t I tell you to stay away from women?
You never listen, and now look what has happened.
Who played you this time?”
“Damn it, don’t even mention it.
Oh, Xiao Lou, how did you end up here?” Li Tang said in surprise, inadvertently pulling at the wound on his leg and sucking in a sharp breath of air.
“Never mind me for now, let’s talk about what happened to you.
The wounds on your body don’t look fatal.
It seems whoever did this didn’t intend to take your life,” Hua Manlou said, walking around Li Tang.
From his years of experience following his master, he could tell that the cuts were numerous but not life-threatening.
“I guess I was just unlucky.
I met a girl online, right?
She looked decent, had a gentle face and a hot body.”
“Forget the trash talk, focus on the main point,” Song Yun said, sitting on a stool.
“Right, well, we went out for dinner and a movie, then to a hotel.
Just when I was about to take a shower and head home, a guy suddenly appeared in the room holding a camera, threatening to post a video online unless I paid him.
That’s when I realized it was a scam, so I got into an argument with this guy.
Turns out, this bastard had backup—over a dozen guys trapped me in the bathroom,” Li Tang said with shame.
“So you got beaten up?” Song Yun calmly analyzed and then added, “You’re skilled enough not to be overpowered by just over ten people, right?”
“First, the room was too cramped, and second, I think I was drugged at that time; I couldn’t muster any strength in my punches,” Li Tang said embarrassedly, feeling quite humiliated given his usual prowess.
“Heh, going to chase after women when you’re bored in the future?” Song Yun asked with a chuckle.
“Weren’t you the one who claimed to play around with all of Yangzhou’s beauties?
Going to mess around like that again?”
“No more, it’s just too humiliating.
That woman even told me she was single, thinking it could just be a casual thing, but look where it got me,” Li Tang said, getting visibly angry and inadvertently pulling at his wound again, leading him to lie back down while sucking in air.
“Good that you understand now.
In the future, find a decent woman, don’t just look for them on social media.
How many of those girls you meet there can be considered decent?” Song Yun said, lighting up a cigarette.
“Yeah, I’ll definitely listen to you, boss.
If you tell me to go east, I won’t go west.
If you tell me to kill a dog, I won’t slaughter a chicken,” Li Tang said with a coaxing smile.
“Boss, give me a cigarette.”
“Get lost, the doctor said you can’t smoke,” Song Yun scolded.
“Then why are you smoking right in front of me?
Smoking isn’t allowed in the hospital either,” Li Tang said, aggrieved.
“That’s your punishment,” Song Yun said after finishing and stubbing out his cigarette.
“You just stay in the hospital and rest for now.
White Tiger Hall’s affairs will be managed by Xiao Lou.”
“Yes, I think Xiao Lou can definitely handle big responsibilities going forward,” Li Tang said cheerfully.
“Xiao Lou, Li Tang is in charge of enforcing our rules here.
You have a specific skill, and from now on, this great responsibility will be yours,” Song Yun said, patting Hua Manlou’s shoulder in a disgustingly supportive manner.
“Okay, but don’t complain if I have to get tough,” Hua Manlou responded.
“Don’t worry, I trust your professionalism.”
After moving Li Tang to the ward, Song Yun made a call to Wu Li to have some of the Green Dragon Sect disciples to guard Li Tang day and night; Wu Li gladly agreed.
Reaching the parking lot downstairs, Song Yun sat on the hood of the car and said to Meng Ku, “Find that couple for me.
Anyone who dares to mess with my brother will have a hard time.”
“Song Yun, when are we going to check out your place?
I’d like to take over Li Tang’s job as soon as possible,” Hua Manlou said seriously, though secretly he thought about how Song Yun’s return home might lead to some romantic involvement with his sister.
Whether it would turn out well or they would part ways was not his concern.
If they got along, he would finally have some peace.
If not, well, that wasn’t exactly great for him either, so he might as well take the out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach and handle things better directly within White Tiger Sect.
Having left Meng Ku at the hospital], Song Yun took Hua Manlou to a newly constructed underground base.
Due to the rushed schedule, it was just a shell, needing more time to equip it fully.
Seeing this type of facility for the first time, Hua Manlou looked around with great interest.
Song Yun ordered a junior below to gather all the mid to high-levels for a meeting in the conference room.
Once everyone was present, Song Yun took the main seat and announced, “This man will be the new Sect Leader of White Tiger Sect, taking over all of Li Tang’s authorities.”
Hua Manlou stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, “I’m Hua Manlou.
I might offend some of you in my new role, please be understanding.”
Handling punishments and retributions has always been a difficult position, one that often leads to bad ends, either targeted by enemies or driven crazy by guilt.
However, Hua Manlou was different; he could instantly switch roles, from enforcer to something else entirely, perhaps the only way to keep himself from going insane.
