The man stepped closer, his calloused hands almost touching her neck.

Li Xiujun did not hide the fear on her face. She took the opportunity to look around and estimate the time to escape.

Wherever the sight reaches, it is all gray.

She opened her eyes wide and tried hard to distinguish, and only then did she vaguely find that there was a gap in front of her where two or three clusters of branches were intertwined, which was just enough for her to squeeze through.

Perhaps it was because of his previous non-resistance that the tattooed man lowered his guard and only left two minions to clean up the mess.

Another man was digging a hole with a dagger in his hand, urging him: "Er Gou, can you please hurry up? I want to go back early and have a good sleep."

"That's easy," the guy called Ergou said with a snort. "If you're brave enough, just dig it out with your hands. I'll dig it out with my knife. It'll be done in five seconds."

He felt it was difficult to dig in this broken ground with a dagger, so how could he dig with his bare hands? He would definitely end up with his hands in pieces.

He smiled bitterly and wiped his nose: "My dear brother, it's rare to get a chance to rest throughout the year. If you don't hurry up, you might be called to do something again."

These guys who follow behind basically just have to be called upon at any time.

I would just stay behind to work, and for the remaining half day I could find an excuse to go back and take a nap.

"Hey kid, come on, I'm also very sleepy."

Ergou was full of energy and was ready to strangle the woman to death in one breath, and then go back to rest after he was done.

As soon as her fingernails touched the skin, Li Xiujun suddenly exerted force with her legs and slammed hard into the opponent's crotch.

Without any desire to fight, he crawled towards the gap.

Her heart was pounding as she heard the roars of the people behind her and the curses of the two thugs.

Ergou was hit directly in the groin and instantly fell to his knees, sweating profusely. "Fuck you...you, go and catch that bitch back. I'm going to...kill her..."

The other man picked up a dagger and chased after him.

Li Xiujun felt the pressure getting closer and closer, and her chest began to heave violently. Without thinking much, she struggled to get out from the gap.

Apparently she underestimated her own size. Although she managed to get through, she inevitably had several bloody wounds on her arms and thighs, and the tiny spikes then burrowed into the flesh.

The burning pain kept attacking her nerves, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared densely, and her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead.

I don’t know how long I ran, my heart was almost squeezed to the point of pain, after making sure that no one was following me, I ran away.

Li Xiujun's legs went limp and she knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

Snap——

The sudden sound of stampede completely broke the last string in her mind, and she cursed heartbreakingly.

"Get out of here! Get out of here, don't come over here!"

Gu Qingming didn't listen carefully. He squatted down and saw that her body was covered with scars.

Sensing someone approaching, Li Xiujun swung her arms and attacked violently, but was stopped by a pair of extremely powerful yet gentle hands.

After hearing the familiar voice, he suddenly fainted.

He said, "It's me, Gu Qingming."

When I woke up again, I was facing a snow-white ceiling.

Ointment was applied to his body and he was carefully bandaged.

Li Xiujun tried to make a sound, but the words she uttered were too hoarse: "Is anyone there...water..."

Someone got up from the chair, poured some water, tested the temperature, and brought it to her lips with a straw.

It was like a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time and was already running out of supplies. Once he touched the water, his spirit relaxed and he couldn't wait to open his mouth and drink it in.

I drank too quickly and choked again.

“Cough cough—cough cough cough—”

Gu Qingming put down the water cup and smoothed her back: "Drink slowly, no one is competing with you for it."

Li Xiujun coughed for a long time before she recovered. She wanted to ask something, but she didn't know where to start, so she hesitated for a moment.

The memory was broken when I forced myself to wake up and saw that it was him.

But it is obvious that I owe someone a favor again.

Gu Qingming frowned slightly, his expression changing several times: "I haven't told your grandfather about the injury yet, but he will definitely be suspicious since we haven't seen each other for so long."

"What happened after I left?"

God knows, after I carried the person out and handed him to the nurse, I saw the blood on myself and almost thought that the person would not survive.

A moment of panic almost consumed him.

Fortunately, apart from a mild concussion, all other injuries were just superficial, and he would be fine after a week or so of rest.

"Thank you, Third Uncle." Li Xiujun rubbed her temples, feeling dizzy. "Third Uncle, do you know the Cleaver Team?"

He doesn't know about the Cleaver Team.

Just by thinking about the past and the present, you can roughly guess what the situation was at that time.

It was most likely a fight between the two parties, and Li Xiujun happened to pass by and was mistakenly thought to be eavesdropping or for some other reason.

He was arrested and threatened.

After all, we were in the hospital, and we were worried that she might be in danger. Unexpectedly, it backfired.

I've always heard that no matter where you are, there are always some dark places. If we let this group of people go, wouldn't any patients who happened to pass by in the future be threatened?

It seems that the security issues in hospitals also need to be taken seriously.

After all, the place that is supposed to rescue the wounded cannot become an incubator for dirty things.

Gu Qingming's eyes suddenly darkened, a cold light flashing in them: "You should take good care of your injuries. Don't worry, this matter will not be let go like this."

He had heard through the grapevine that the higher-ups were now in contact with many businesses, hoping to use their influence to promote the joint development of private and state-owned hospitals.

The security personnel were put in place not overnight, although the Gu family had not made much progress in medical care.

But those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength.

As long as better salary and benefits can be provided, it will naturally attract some veterans and police officers, thus achieving a good cycle.

For all three parties, it is a business that can only make profits and no losses.

Li Xiujun knew that since her uncle said so, he would definitely take some action.

But this incident also made her realize that if she didn't have some power, she would be like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others, just like today.

Besides, dealing with Mr. Li was also a big problem: "How are you going to explain this to your grandfather? He's going to have chemotherapy soon, so it's best if he has family members by his side."

No matter how well a caregiver does his job, he is only completing tasks within his assigned scope.

Having family members around is an added comfort.

"Yeah, I understand. I'm planning to do some odd jobs to save some pocket money, so I can have an excuse to get away with it. Uncle San, I'll have to trouble you to cover for me."

Grandpa's subsequent surgery would cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, so she had to prepare the money in advance to avoid any unforeseen accidents.

After some time, the scars on the body can be covered with long clothes and long sleeves. The gauze on the forehead is a little troublesome, but it can be easily solved by finding a wig.

But where can she find odd jobs that pay quickly?
