After reaching an agreement with Zhou Qiyuan, Zhang Cheng didn't go downstairs to find Liu Yihan, but went straight to the third-floor inpatient department.

The seven villagers who were bitten by the bear were placed in two wards.

Zhang Da Nao and the others were huddled together whispering when they saw Zhang Cheng come in, and they all stood up and surrounded him.

Zhang Cheng pulled out a ten-yuan note and handed it to Zhang Da Nao, instructing, "Go to that guesthouse we went to before and book six rooms."

"Okay!" Zhang Da Nao nodded and took the money, saying, "Er Gouzi, we've thought about it, and it's not good to have so many people crowding the hospital. How about we go back to the village first? We can leave Shengzi and Xiao Tao here."

Zhang Cheng was also troubled by this.

With seven people hospitalized, someone definitely needs to take care of them. But if they all stay, food and lodging will be major problems.

Let's keep just two people. How can we take care of seven wounded? There are no caregivers available these days.

Zhang Cheng raised his hand and pressed his temples. "Whether we go back or not, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"middle!"

Zhang Da Nao turned to the others and said, "Shengzi and Xiao Tao, stay here and help the doctor. The rest of you, come with me to the guesthouse!"

Zhang Cheng didn't stay long either. He wasn't really good at taking care of people, so he left the inpatient department with Zhang Da Nao and the others.

As Liu Yihan passed through the lobby, she pouted and stared intently at Zhang Cheng in the crowd. There were too many people, so she didn't dare to call out to him.

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Cheng told Zhang Da Nao and the others not to cause trouble, then went to the bike shed, rode Zhou Qiyuan's old bicycle, and headed straight for the cardboard box factory.

The herbal gift box was something I came up with on a whim.

Now that it's selling well, it needs to be more professional, and the packaging needs to be changed.

Although the government is not strict about food safety at present, basic information such as the place of origin still needs to be printed.

Today is the Little New Year, and even though it's snowing, the streets are still quite lively, with people coming and going. There are vendors selling firecrackers, couplets, calendars, and all sorts of things.

With so many people around, the bicycle became difficult to ride, so Zhang Cheng simply got off and pushed it, a smile on his face as he looked around.

Suddenly, the smile on Zhang Cheng's face vanished, and he became alert.

Through his thick cotton-padded coat, he felt a hand reach into his pocket.

His right hand shot out with lightning speed and grabbed the culprit's hand tightly.

Zhang Cheng turned his head and saw a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old with a very tender face and frostbite.

Once his wrist was grabbed, the kid said tough but was actually scared: "Let go!"

"Snap!"

"Ah—!" A scream pierced the street.

This shout startled everyone around.

"What happened? Did they fight?"

"That young man was really ruthless; it looks like his wrist is about to break!"

"Can't you just be quiet during the Chinese New Year?!"

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!" The pickpocket's face contorted in pain as he yelled at Zhang Cheng, who was twisting his wrist, "Stop twisting! Your hand is going to break!!!"

Why did you hit me?!

"Bullying a child in broad daylight, have you no shame!" Before the words were even finished, seven or eight young men who looked like they had ill intentions surrounded them from all sides.

"Let go right now! Do you really want to break someone's hand?"

"I can't stand people like you! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Seeing the seven people surrounding him, each with a fierce look in their eyes, Zhang Cheng sneered inwardly, "They're all in cahoots!"

With the Lunar New Year approaching, these scumbags have also come out to stir.

"Snap!"

Without a word, Zhang Cheng suddenly exerted force and snapped the pickpocket's right wrist! At the same time, he leaped out like a leopard, heading straight for the young man who seemed to be the leader!

The man was completely caught off guard, never expecting Zhang Cheng to act so suddenly.

With a muffled thud, Ah Si felt as if his nose had broken. Blood gushed from his nostrils, and the excruciating pain made him instinctively cover his nose, bending over and screaming, "My nose! My nose!!!"

Even a hero can't withstand a crowd.

Zhang Cheng's physical condition isn't fully developed yet. He might be able to take down one or two people when they're off guard, but once the group reacts and attacks all at once, he'll definitely be at a disadvantage.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng ripped open the buttons of his cotton-padded coat and reached in to pull out the military dagger hidden inside!

Quick and ruthless!

Zhang Cheng lunged forward, his dagger flashing like a viper's tongue as he stabbed at another man's shoulder!

"ah!!!"

Another scream rang out.

Upon seeing the knife being used, the crowd scattered in a flash, with some people running towards the distant security post to report the incident.

Ah Si, whose nose had been broken, covered his nose and took a few steps back. He knew he had met his match today, but he didn't back down.

Stealing is just a side job for them; their real business is "profiting without any initial investment"!

"Grab your weapon!!!" Ah Si roared through the excruciating pain, pulled a cleaver from his waist, and lunged at Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng's face was icy cold. He gripped his military dagger tightly in one hand, grabbed the bicycle handlebars with the other, and swung it around, smashing it at the three people rushing towards him! At the same time, he ducked down and darted like a cheetah to the man on his left, slashing his thigh three times with his knife!

The man was stunned at first after being stabbed, then a sharp pain struck him, and he screamed and rolled on the ground.

That's ruthless!

The onlookers, who were far away, grinned as they watched. Zhang Cheng was like a lone wolf, silent and stoic, but his attacks were fast and accurate, each move capable of crippling a fighter!

"Stop! Stop it, all of you!!!"

Just then, urgent shouts came from afar.

Two policemen in dark blue uniforms came running up, panting, one of them still clutching handcuffs.

"run!"

Upon seeing the police, Ah Si, whose nose was crooked, changed his expression drastically, let out a low growl, and turned to disappear into the crowd.

Without even looking, Zhang Cheng grabbed the half brick that was used to hold down couplets from a nearby stall, swung it around, and smashed it at the back of Ah Si's head as he desperately ran into the crowd!
