"You all go out, have the hotel staff send over the first-aid kit quickly," Wan Yunting said to Meng Hu and the others.
"Okay..."
Meng Hu and Di She waved, signaling the other subordinates to leave. They also instructed the hotel staff to fetch a first-aid kit. Wan Yunting and Dai Qiuyue helped Niu Qiuling sit on the living room sofa, beginning to clean and treat her wound...
Meanwhile, Mei Ying and Tian Lang stood on the side, whispering softly in English. Upon hearing that Mei Ying was reportedly captured by the Chinese police, Tian Lang was shocked. "Do you know the consequences of what you've done?"
"I do."
Mei Ying nodded, her expressionless face revealing unwavering resolve. "Even if it means death, I must leave!"
Tian Lang's brows furrowed tightly; he knew Mei Ying's character very well.
He and Mei Ying had been secretly trained as assassins by the Man Luosha Killer Organization. Their relationship was as close as that of siblings.
Therefore, when Tian Lang learned that her assassination target had been captured by the Chinese police, he was furious. He immediately sought out Wan Yunting, wanting to avenge Mei Ying.
However, he never expected that this was all a setup orchestrated by Mei Ying and her target, Wan Yunting, intended to deceive the Man Luosha Organization and help Mei Ying escape its clutches!
But as the top-ranked assassin in the Man Luosha Killer Organization, Tian Lang knew the terrifying nature of the organization. Mei Ying's attempt to escape and conceal her actions in this manner was absolutely impossible. If the organization discovered it, Mei Ying would be assassinated!
This was the organization's rule: anyone who dared to defy it met a swift end.
"Are you two done whispering?"
Having finished treating Niu Qiuling's wound, Wan Yunting turned and glared at them. He said to Mei Ying, "Didn't you say you would stop him? Why did he still show up tonight?"
It turned out that Mei Ying had left earlier to find Tian Lang, asking him not to accept the mission to assassinate Wan Yunting. However, she was a step too late.
"If you hadn't shown up, he would be dead by now!" Wan Yunting glared, pointing at Tian Lang and speaking with a cold snort.
Tian Lang, who understood Chinese, gritted his teeth, looking somewhat unconvinced by Wan Yunting's words. However, knowing that Wan Yunting had helped Mei Ying, and having sparred with him earlier, he understood that Wan Yunting was no ordinary person.
Tian Lang knew Wan Yunting was telling the truth. If Mei Ying hadn't arrived in time, he would likely be a corpse by now.
"I was late."
Seeing Niu Qiuling injured, Mei Ying apologized with an expressionless face.
"Hey, what's going on with them?"
Niu Qiuling, sitting on the sofa and recovering, looked at Wan Yunting and Mei Ying, utterly confused.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later."
Wan Yunting said to Niu Qiuling, then turned to Mei Ying and Tian Lang. "Speak, what are your next steps?"
Mei Ying and Tian Lang exchanged glances before turning to Wan Yunting and saying, "We agree to your terms, and we will definitely fulfill them!"
"Good."
Wan Yunting nodded and waved his hand. "You can leave for now. I will contact you when it's time for the next step!"
Mei Ying nodded and pulled Tian Lang away. However, Tian Lang remained bewildered, unsure of the deal Mei Ying had struck with Wan Yunting.
"You're just letting them go?"
Niu Qiuling, watching them leave, looked at Wan Yunting in astonishment. He sighed, "I made a deal with her!"
Niu Qiuling's eyes widened, seeming to understand something. "So, you let her go on purpose last time?"
"Mmm."
Wan Yunting didn't mind Dai Qiuyue's presence. "Perhaps we'll need them to save your brother!"
Niu Qiuling became agitated. "You want to rely on them to save my brother?"
"Something like that."
Wan Yunting nodded. In fact, his previous agreement with Mei Ying was for her to help him with something else. However, with the current need to rescue Niu Qiuling's brother, Wan Yunting had a change of heart. He planned to use Mei Ying's assassin identity to infiltrate the Pengka drug trafficking group and find a way to save Niu Qiuling's brother!
Of course, this plan still required careful deliberation before execution.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
Looking at the bandaged wound on Niu Qiuling's left shoulder, Wan Yunting sighed. "I've dragged you into this."
Niu Qiuling shook her head slightly. Dai Qiuyue, beside them, rummaged through the first-aid kit and said, "Her wound isn't deep, but she still needs medication for inflammation. It would be best to get it bandaged at the hospital."
Wan Yunting nodded and said seriously, "You shouldn't accompany us tomorrow."
"No."
Niu Qiuling immediately objected, her almond-shaped eyes wide and firm. "I must go tomorrow."
Wan Yunting knew she wanted to go save her brother. "We will definitely rescue your brother, but you are injured and cannot continue to follow. You won't be able to help, and you'll only be a burden, do you understand?"
In fact, Wan Yunting was also using this opportunity to keep Niu Qiuling behind, ensuring she didn't have to take risks!
The appearance of Gao Zhe tonight had made Wan Yunting suspect that participating in the Pengka trade fair tomorrow would not be smooth sailing.
"But..."
"Enough, listen to me."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and said directly, "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue your brother. Your most important task now is to recover from your injury."
Niu Qiuling pouted, looking at the man's concerned and determined gaze. She knew he cared about her, but Niu Qiuling genuinely wanted to go and save her brother...
Wan Yunting went out and asked Meng Hu to have the hotel staff contact a local ambulance to take Niu Qiuling to the hospital for treatment. He also contacted Zhong Zhicheng, asking him to send people to the hospital and to arrange for her to be sent back to China once her wound was treated.
Upon returning after arranging these matters, Dai Qiuyue naturally followed. Dawn had broken, and everyone was wide awake. Wan Yunting lit a cigarette and looked at Dai Qiuyue sitting beside him. "Do you know Traditional Chinese Medicine?"
"Mmm."
Dai Qiuyue nodded, looking at Wan Yunting with a curious gaze. His skill in treating Niu Qiuling's wound earlier was evident; he clearly had experience in treating patients.
"Yes, I also studied medicine."
Wan Yunting understood her thoughts and smiled. "I didn't expect you to study Traditional Chinese Medicine."
Dai Qiuyue nodded. "My family all studies medicine; we are a fifth-generation family of TCM practitioners."
"Really?"
Wan Yunting was surprised.
Dai Qiuyue nodded without elaborating further.
Wan Yunting comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry, I will find a way to get you out."
"Thank you."
Dai Qiuyue looked up at him, offering her sincere gratitude.
"Boss Wan, Brother Dong and the others are calling us downstairs," Meng Hu said, knocking on the door.
Wan Yunting then stood up and said to Dai Qiuyue, "Let's go."
Wan Yunting tidied up and came out, handing his luggage bag to Meng Hu. Di She led the other five brothers downstairs. Dai Qiuyue walked beside him, and they took the elevator to the second-floor restaurant, where they encountered Sister Mei, the casino manager. She greeted them as they descended. "Young Master Wan, was her service satisfactory?"
"It was alright."
Wan Yunting glanced back at the expressionless Dai Qiuyue beside him before smiling at Sister Mei. "Name your price, I want to redeem her!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Qiuyue paused, and Sister Mei's eyes lit up.
After all, this wasn't the first time. Some bosses had redeemed these hostesses as playthings before. Seeing Wan Yunting wanting to redeem Dai Qiuyue, Sister Mei's heart fluttered. "Young Master Wan, she isn't cheap!"
