Chapter 197 Not Chen Yuan
That's not Chen Yuan!
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down.
The boss looked at them excitedly and asked, "Is this the person?"
"no."
Su Wan shook her head, and the boss felt a little depressed.
Looking at the injured man, he said, "Then let's put this man on the board! We don't know him, and it would be terrible if he met a bad guy."
"He seems injured."
Looking at the young man, Su Jianguo sized him up before frowning and saying, "There are gunshot wounds on his body. Could it be a water rat?"
Hearing this, the boss's face turned pale.
Fishermen like them hate dealing with water rats the most. If they really provoke one they shouldn't, their lives will definitely be in danger.
Su Wan's eyes fell on the man's white shirt and the watch on his wrist. It was a Rolex. She didn't know how much the watch cost, but it looked expensive.
She thought for a moment before saying, "He's not a jerk. He's wearing designer clothes. He must be some young master who was out having fun and got ambushed."
Thinking that Chen Yuan might encounter something similar in the sea, Su Wan really couldn't bear it.
If she saved this person, maybe Chen Yuan would also be saved by someone else.
"Little sister, do you want to save him?"
"He can't be a bad guy. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Second brother, you take him to the hospital first. The boss and I will stay here and continue looking for him."
"Leave me the task of finding someone. Take him to the hospital. If anything happens later, remember to call me. Do you have the number for the B&B?"
"Yeah, I remember that."
Su Wan understood what her second brother meant. After all, the boss was a man, and it was indeed inconvenient for her as a woman.
Then, the boss quickly turned around and returned to the shore.
Su Jianguo carried the man onto the pickup truck, and Su Wan drove the pickup truck back to the city.
She took the man to the hospital, where doctors quickly performed first aid.
After paying a thousand yuan for the surgery, Su Wan waited for more than two hours in the hospital before the door of the operating room was opened.
The doctor came out and said to her, "The patient has one gunshot wound and three knife wounds. He has fainted from excessive blood loss and will wake up soon."
"Thank you, doctor."
Su Wan thought that this man was also found on the sea, and maybe he had seen Chen Yuan before.
The patient was transferred to the general ward, and Su Wan sat in front of the bed, his thoughts racing.
After more than two hours of dripping, the person lying in bed slowly woke up.
He hissed, his thick Hong Kong accent coming out as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Fuck your mother... whoever attacked me? I'll kill him when I find him!"
Seeing the young man talking about the quintessence of Chinese culture, Su Wan was stunned for a moment.
The young man seemed to notice her as well, blinked, shook his head, and then asked, "Who are you?"
"My second brother and I found you on the sea. You were injured, so I took you to the hospital."
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you handsomely!"
The young man spoke gratefully, his thick Hong Kong accent revealing a hint of surviving a disaster, and then asked, "Where is this?"
"A hospital in Pengcheng Special Zone."
The young man said, "Oh," and asked, "Could you please make a phone call for me? My name is Du Yunxiao. Just ask them to come to the hospital."
Last name Du?
The first thing Su Wan thought of was Du Yuesheng, the number one gangster boss in Hong Kong. Could Du Yunxiao be his descendant?
But she didn't think much about it, she just wrote down the phone number and made the call.
Because the call was going to Hong Kong Island, it took ten minutes for the call to be transferred. The person who answered the phone just said "hello" and Su Wan spoke, "Hello, Mr. Du Yunxiao was injured and is in Pengcheng Special District Hospital. He asked me to call you to inform you and ask you to come as soon as possible."
"OK."
The person on the other end of the phone quickly figured out the specific address and thanked me repeatedly before hanging up.
Su Wan returned to the ward and said to Du Yunxiao, "I've already made the call. The man said he would be there as soon as possible."
Du Yunxiao nodded. "Thank you for your help. I'll give you a thank-you fee when my people arrive."
Su Wan did not answer, but sat down in her seat, quietly waiting for Du Yunxiao's men to come over.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Du Yunxiao didn't say anything else. Instead, he leaned on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, looking extremely tired.
Unfortunately, after waiting from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, no one showed up. Su Wan couldn't help but ask, "Your people aren't coming that soon?"
"It should be soon!"
Du Yunxiao could probably guess that it would take some time for his people to get through, but they should be there soon.
Sure enough, after waiting for more than ten minutes, a group of people suddenly came outside.
Soon, a group of men in black were guarding the door of the ward, and two men with nervous expressions came in, looking at Du Yunxiao with worry in their eyes.
"Master, are you okay?"
"Do I look okay now?"
Du Yunxiao glared at his subordinate fiercely, "I've made you wait so long to come here, you're really not even as good as eating hot shit."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and suddenly stopped talking.
The subordinates didn't dare to refute, and stood aside timidly, looking at Du Yunxiao and replied: "Master, we have rushed here as fast as we can, but because of the necessary procedures to go through customs, it took some time."
Du Yunxiao also knew that since they were all active in Hong Kong Island and had hardly ever been to the mainland, it would naturally take some time.
He winked at his men, who quickly understood.
"Miss..." Du Yunxiao realized that he hadn't even asked his savior's name. "What's your name?"
"Su Wan."
"Ms. Su, thank you for saving me. This is a small token of my appreciation."
Du Yunxiao handed Su Wan a check. She glanced at it casually and saw that the amount on the check was five hundred thousand.
She gasped, but didn't answer.
He just said, "I paid a thousand dollars for your surgery. Just pay me back."
"Ms. Su, I really want to thank you."
"I know you're sincere, but I haven't done anything, so I can't accept such a large thank-you fee."
Su Wan didn't want to accept it. She felt that if she accepted money from others, she would be easily harmed.
Besides, she doesn't need the money now.
Du Yunxiao raised his eyebrows. It was the first time he saw a girl who didn't want money.
The subordinate lowered his head and whispered something in his ear. He glanced at Su Wan and said, "Here's a check. You can exchange it for money at the bank. You can also exchange it for Hong Kong dollars."
"Mr. Du, I saved you out of convenience, and I don't want your money. Since your people are here, I'll leave first."
Su Wan hurried to find Chen Yuan and did not give Du Yunxiao a chance to refuse. She turned around and left the ward.
Du Yunxiao gave a wink, and his men quickly followed him out.
He walked quickly to Su Wan and said, "Miss Su, our young master doesn't like to owe favors to others. If you need anything, please tell me. I will definitely do what I can."
Su Wan had no plans to go to Hong Kong Island, so she didn't think about having any interaction with them and immediately refused.
"No need. I really just saved Mr. Du and didn't expect any reward from him. If you feel embarrassed, just give me the surgery fee, one thousand yuan!"
She stretched out her hand, and her subordinate quickly took out colorful Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and stuffed them all into her hand.
The face value of Hong Kong dollars is one hundred Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to seventy-six eighty-five cents in RMB.
His men took out about twenty bills and gave them to Su Wan, which actually exceeded the one thousand yuan for the surgery.
Su Wan waved the money and said, "The extra money can be considered as money for saving people. Mr. Du doesn't owe me anything, so there's no need to worry about it."
After she finished speaking, she quickly left the hospital.
The men quickly chased after him and wrote down the license plate number of the pickup truck Su Wan was driving.
He wrote it down in his notebook and would naturally order someone to investigate it thoroughly.
Back in the ward, Du Yunxiao asked calmly, "Did she receive the money?"
"Ms. Su only collected the surgery fee, but she didn't take the check. She said she just saved the young master, and didn't say anything else."
"Investigate her identity and see if there's anything I can do to help."
After Du Yunxiao finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and prepared to rest.
The subordinate hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, the hospitals in the mainland are not as developed as those in Hong Kong Island. Should we go back first?"
"It's okay, just recover and go back."
Du Yunxiao opened his eyes abruptly and sneered, "Grandpa was just about to open up the inland market for me, and the people from the second house are already looking to mess with me. I guess they've been ready to make a move for a long time."
"Master, why don't we return to Hong Kong Island first? The people from the second and third houses are eyeing you covetously. I'm sure they all want to kill you."
"Heh..." Du Yunxiao sneered, "Second Uncle and Third Uncle are quite shrewd. They want me dead, but I refuse to die. I just quietly watch them fuss."
"But this isn't a solution. The old man isn't willing to share his power. Now that you've gained some influence, they're acting like this. If this happened inland, they might act with impunity."
Du Yunxiao shook his head.
His eyes were filled with coldness. "You guessed wrong. Even if they wanted to do something, this is inland. It's different from Hong Kong Island. The inland areas are very hard hit by such things. I'll be safer inland."
The Du family was divided into three parts, and none of the three branches was willing to submit to the other.
If the old man of the Du family had not been alive, the three branches would have fought for their own interests long ago.
Du Yunxiao went out to sea with his friends last night, but he never expected that he would be attacked by someone.
He actually knew who shot him. It was either the second or third wife. The second wife had always been dissatisfied with him because he was the eldest grandson of the Du family. His father died of illness a few years ago. The old man loved him very much and raised him under his knees.
Among so many descendants, he is the one the old man loves the most.
Especially after his biological father passed away, his love for his descendants was beyond words. Even though he had been lazy in recent years, the old man was still as good to him as ever, and even entrusted him with the most important task of moving inland in recent years.
Du Yunxiao thought it was okay, but he didn't expect the second and third wives to act so quickly.
Su Wan drove back to the B&B. Su Jianguo and the others had not returned yet, so she could only wait there.
After thinking about it, she called the army again and asked if Chen Yuan had been found.
It was Lin Wu who answered the phone. When he heard it was Su Wan, he said in a loud voice, "Chen Yuan hasn't been found yet, but don't worry, sister-in-law, he's definitely fine."
"Brother Lin, I'm looking for him in the waters of Pengcheng Special Zone..."
Before Su Wan could finish, Lin Wu interrupted her, "Are you in Pengcheng Special Zone?"
"Yeah, I want to find him."
"Sister-in-law, he's not in the waters of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone. He was in trouble in the waters of Hong Kong Island. It's useless to look for him there."
Hearing this, Su Wan was also stunned.
Hong Kong Island was returned to China in 1997. Before the return, Hong Kong Island was in chaos. As the fishermen said, there were many smugglers in the waters of Hong Kong Island, and inland ships could not enter Hong Kong Island.
Lin Wu waited for a while, and when he saw Su Wan didn't say anything, he continued, "Our people are still looking for him. Yuanzi is a capable person, so he will definitely be fine. Sometimes it's a good thing that he hasn't been found. It means he's safe now."
"Brother Lin, I understand. We'll be back when my second brother comes back."
After hanging up the phone, Su Wan also planned to go back.
Since she couldn't find anyone in the sea here, she really should go back.
Su Jianguo came back after dark.
He still looked a little tired. Seeing Su Wan, he smiled and asked, "How is it? Is that person okay?"
"fine."
Su Wan felt that she and Du Yunxiao would not have any intersection, so she did not say much about his affairs. Instead, she said, "Second brother, I called the army. Brother Lin said that Chen Yuan was in trouble in the waters of Hong Kong Island. We can't find him here."
"So what you mean is..." Su Jianguo knew that his younger sister was stubborn. If she didn't want to go back, he wouldn't say she wanted to go back.
"Let's go back first!"
"Okay, let's stay at the B&B tonight and go back tomorrow morning."
Su Jianguo spoke up and took Su Wan to continue living in the B&B.
For some reason, Su Wan slept very well that night. However, in her dream, she seemed to dream of Chen Yuan. He was covered in wounds and lying in a dark place. He looked exhausted.
She wanted to ask where Chen Yuan was, but before she could open her mouth, she suddenly opened her eyes.
It's dawn!
Su Wan's mind was filled with scenes from her dream, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
She dreamed that Chen Yuan was only injured and was still in the house. Does that mean that he was rescued by someone?
Perhaps it was because of Lin Wu’s words yesterday, or perhaps it was because of the dream he had, but Su Wan felt that the uneasy feeling he had been feeling for the past few days had settled down a bit.
Su Jianguo also stood up. He looked at Su Wan who had already left and said with a smile, "Let's have some breakfast and then go back. If you don't want to go find someone, I want to go and confirm the last two stores and prepare for the opening."
"Okay, thank you, big brother."
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are all family, why are you talking about trouble?"
After Su Jianguo finished speaking, he and Su Wan went downstairs to pay the bill, bought oyster omelet and rice rolls, and drove away after eating.
After returning to Grandma Zhao's house, Su Wan sat down in her seat. Su Jianguo reached out and held her hand, his eyes full of worry.
"Little sister, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, second brother. I want to postpone other things. I'll transfer one million to your passbook later. You'll have to deal with the sportswear issue later. I'll come back when I get news from Chen Yuan."
Knowing that his younger sister was worried about his brother-in-law, Su Jianguo comforted her gently, "It's okay, little sister. Second brother is very capable in handling things now!"
Su Wan suddenly thought of something and said, "Brother, how about I find you a retired soldier with good skills who can protect you and take turns driving when you go out? What do you think?"
Su Jianguo scratched his head embarrassedly, "This... is not good!"
"As you can see, we're growing bigger and bigger now. I feel at ease having someone skilled enough to protect you."
"Okay then."
Su Jianguo also thought it was nice to have someone following him, so he agreed.
"Then I'll find someone to accompany my second brother, but the salary might be a little higher. I'll ask Brother Lin then."
After comforting Su Wan for a while, Su Jianguo went back to work.
After Grandma Zhao went abroad, there was no one else at home, so Su Wan locked the door before getting up and going outside.
She went to the market to buy meat and vegetables, and then drove back to the army.
Seeing her come back, the sentry at the gate quickly called out to her, "Sister-in-law, you're back!"
"Um."
Su Wan responded, then asked, "Have you found Chen Yuan?"
The sentry shook his head. "Sister-in-law, we haven't found Captain Chen yet, but don't worry, Captain Chen will be fine."
"Yeah, he'll be fine."
After what happened in the past few days, Su Wan is now much calmer.
"Sister-in-law, are you planning to come back and stay for a few days? Do you need us to help you with anything?"
"Thank you. I didn't have much, so I bought some vegetables and went home to cook."
Su Wan returned to the compound, and Lin Wu arrived soon.
He held Chen Yuan's salary and tickets in his hand and handed them all to Su Wan.
"Sister-in-law, this is Chen Yuan's salary and receipt from last month. Keep it safe."
"Brother Lin, is there still no news from him?"
"Don't worry, we're still searching and will let you know as soon as we have any news."
"Brother Lin, I have something else I want to ask you."
Lin Wu smiled brightly, "If you need any help, just tell me. We're already so familiar with each other, and I'll definitely help if I can."
Su Wan told Lin Wu that she wanted to find a bodyguard.
Hearing that she wanted to find retired soldiers as bodyguards, Lin Wu touched his crew cut and said, "I do know a few. If you need anything, I can call them over..."
"Thank you, Brother Lin!"
"Why should I thank you? You've also helped me solve employment problems for many veterans. They can't find good jobs after returning home. If I had the opportunity to follow you brothers and sisters, I think it would be great."
Lin Wu is a nonconformist person. He doesn't think that being a self-employed person is shameful like those people do.
Since they hadn't agreed, Lin Wu asked again, "Then why don't you find one yourself?"
"It's not very convenient for me to go back and forth to find someone on weekdays."
"Then you can arrange two for your second brother. Occasionally, when you have something to do, you can spare one person to help you. With two people around to help your second brother, he can relax a lot. Besides, your business will grow bigger and bigger. If there are two people who can help you take care of some small things, you won't have to work so hard."
After Lin Wu finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much and quickly made up for it.
"Of course, I just said it casually. It's up to you to decide what to do."
"Brother Lin is right. I have the same idea, but I'm worried it will be too troublesome."
Su Wan also felt that she was indeed narrow-minded. It was indeed a good idea to find two helpers for her second brother. She could also borrow someone when she needed him.
Lin Wu didn't hesitate and thought about it quickly in his mind before borrowing Su Wan's phone to call the person on the other end of the line.
He made several calls before smiling and saying, "I found you two skilled fighters. One is Zheng Feng, the other is Zhou Fuqing."
"Thank you very much, Brother Lin."
Su Wan said, and stood up and took out a bag of prepared things from the house and handed it to him.
"Brother Lin, here are some cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. I've been bothering you for a while now, so please accept them. Otherwise, I'd feel embarrassed."
Lin Wu happily took it without thinking too much.
He said, "I'll accept it this time. Don't be so polite next time. Yuanzi and I are good brothers. Besides, I'm happy to help more people."
Su Wan nodded in agreement and asked, "Brother Lin, please have lunch here. I'll cook right away."
Lin Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't bother me. I have other things to deal with now. I'll come over when Yuanzi comes back."
He seemed to be very busy too, and left after he finished speaking.
Sitting on the sofa, Su Wan sighed softly again.
I don’t know when I can find Chen Yuan. What should I do if something happens to him?
On this day, Su Wan's mind was also in a mess.
Later, she received a call from Chen Xiang, asking if something had happened to Chen Yuan.
Then, she received a lot of phone calls one after another. Fortunately, the elders at home didn't know about this, so she felt relieved.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Wan received an unexpected call.
Xu Ruichen's voice came from the phone, comforting Su Wan: "I have also received some information about your lover. I have asked the people over there. Although they haven't found him yet, the higher-ups have sent more people to continue the search. You don't have to worry."
"Thank you, Brother Xu. I was just worried that something might happen to him."
"The fact that he's missing at sea and there's no news is good news. Don't overthink it. I've read his resume and he's a very capable officer. He's also a very good swimmer, so he'll be fine."
"I'm just hoping he's been rescued. I hope he comes back soon!"
When Su Wan said this, her eyes unconsciously turned red.
Xu Ruichen sighed softly and said, "We can only take it one step at a time. If he is rescued, he will contact the higher-ups immediately. The current situation is indeed not very good, so you must be mentally prepared."
Xu Ruichen didn't want to say this, but according to the current situation, the chances of Chen Yuan surviving are indeed smaller.
Su Wan held the phone receiver tightly, looking up hard to hold back her tears.
