Chapter 205 Rest Before You Go
"Han Shuo, look! They're driving out of the smoke bomb!" the fat man shouted urgently.
"Quickly, everyone grab your guns, get ready to respond..."
Before Han Shuo could finish saying the word "enemy," the rest of his words got stuck in his throat.
Because he saw that Wang Bahu and the others' car was not coming towards him, but rather bursting out of the smoke bomb and heading south in the opposite direction from Xiaolou.
"Uh...did they run away?"
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Han Shuo never expected that Wang Bahu would actually run away.
Xiao Zhao put away the sniper rifle that was propped up on the windowsill and gave a wry smile.
"Brother Han, we've lost sight of the target. There are too many trees blocking the view to the south."
At this moment, the three cars in the distance completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Oh well, it's probably over for today."
Han Shuo, somewhat helpless, put down his binoculars, walked over to Xiao Zhao, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiao Zhao, you've worked hard. Although this operation wasn't perfect, we managed to successfully complete the transaction."
"Alas, it's a pity that one shot didn't take down Wang Bahu."
Xiao Zhao seemed to be in a good mood and wasn't too self-blaming; he had indeed done his best.
His aim was fine; it was just that Wang Bahu reacted too quickly.
At this moment, the fat man walked up and shouted out loud.
"So this Comrade Wang has a cowardly side after all, huh? Hahahaha!"
He gloated.
Han Shuo waved his hand, ignored him, and turned to sit on the bed.
Wai Di, who was standing nearby, quickly took out a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.
Han Shuo smiled and ruffled Wai Di's hair before unscrewing the bottle cap.
"Gulp, gulp..."
In just a few gulps, Han Shuo had drunk most of the entire bottle of mineral water.
Now that the matter was over, he didn't waste any more time and shouted into the communicator.
“Brother Yao Nan, Wang Bahu and the others have escaped. You should come over first. We are still in the small building in the north.”
Han Shuo decided to gather everyone together first, since he had already promised Cheng Shenghong that he would take them back together today.
"Sizzle..."
Soon, Cheng Shenghong's voice came through the communicator.
"Okay, I saw them driving south. You guys rest here for a bit, we'll be there soon."
"Um."
...
A few minutes later, Cheng Shenghong and his men arrived at the location of the small building.
After turning off the engines of the three cars, he helped Xingzai out of the cars.
Cheng Shenghong knew that Han Shuo always preferred peace and quiet, so he did not plan to bring too many people upstairs.
"Fifth Brother, you and I will carry Xingzai up. Just the three of us will go up. The rest of you can stay downstairs and keep watch."
"good!"
His men readily agreed, and they were quite obedient to their boss.
Soon, Han Shuo saw Cheng Shenghong and Lao Wu carrying Xingzai into the room.
He pulled his brother away from the bed to make room for the patient.
Seeing that Xingzai had been placed on the bed, Han Shuo called out.
"Shurou!"
Li Shurou naturally understood what she meant, nodded, and took out her medical kit to check on Xingzai's condition.
Cheng Shenghong saw all of this and was deeply moved.
"Brother Han, thank you all!"
As he spoke, he bowed to the crowd.
Today, although they failed to kill Wang Bahu, Han Shuo and the others put in a lot of effort to ensure the smooth exchange of their brothers.
Han Shuo quickly stepped forward and reached out to straighten Cheng Shenghong's body.
He said with a smile.
"Don't mention it, we're all family here, it's only right that we do this."
Cheng Shenghong nodded, without saying much thanks, but secretly kept this kindness in his heart.
He muttered to himself.
"If Brother Han and the others encounter any trouble in the future, I will do everything in my power to help them!"
A few minutes later, Li Shurou finished treating and bandaging Xingzai's wounds.
"Han Shuo, this person is not in any danger, but he is too weak. He needs to rest and recuperate both physically and mentally for a while."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Cheng Shenghong and gave him another instruction.
"It would be best if you only fed him easily digestible liquid food for the next few days."
After thinking for a moment, she took out a tube of ointment from her backpack and handed it over.
"Apply this ointment to him twice a day, morning and evening, just to the bruised and swollen areas."
"Um... Also, I'll make time to go over there every day to change the dressing on his wound."
"Okay, that's all. It's not a big problem, don't worry."
Although Sing-jai looks frightening, his injuries are not actually too serious, and he has no broken bones.
During the days he was captured, he suffered severe mental damage mainly because he hadn't eaten much and had been tortured by Wang Bahu and others for several days.
Cheng Shenghong quickly bent down and took the ointment, nodding repeatedly to express his gratitude.
"Okay, thank you, thank you so much, I'm sorry to have troubled you..."
In today's world, doctors are truly a rare breed.
During the more than half a year he spent away from home, Li Shurou was the first doctor Cheng Shenghong met.
Moreover, he could clearly see that this woman's medical skills were quite good...
Han Shuo took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
9:00 AM.
Although it was only past morning, almost everyone got up before dawn today.
After working for half a day, I'm quite tired.
"Brother Yao Nan, just leave two people downstairs to watch the car. Call the rest of you up. This building has plenty of rooms, so let everyone rest."
"Okay, let's rest until noon, and then set off again after lunch."
After saying this, Cheng Shenghong quickly responded.
"Ah? No need, no need. Aren't we going back to the underground research institute? Let's hurry up and get going. Resting here will take up too much of your time."
Han Shuo scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"Uh, no, the key is that the five of us want to rest for a while. We're used to being fully rested before continuing our journey..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man shouted excitedly.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to find a room to sleep now, good morning everyone!"
As he spoke, he ran toward the next room.
Han Shuo grabbed him and said.
"You can rest for a while. Go and drive the car we hid back first."
"Hmph! How annoying!"
The fat man pouted and complained, saying he could only sleep for a while longer, before turning to get in the car.
Han Shuo shook his head and followed from behind.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
"I'll go too, Xiao Zhao, you and Wai Di should rest first."
Li Shurou also ran over, since they had three cars and needed three people.
Cheng Shenghong looked at them with a wry smile, admiring them from the bottom of his heart.
"My five allies are truly exceptional in terms of mindset..."
