After Zhao Xiaoyue walked out of the ward with her head hanging low, Situ Ming on the bed twitched his finger.
He felt as if he were in an endless dark world, struggling but unable to escape, so he quietly squatted in the corner, wondering when he would be released.
Then a voice said, "Brother, I'll do anything you ask if you can wake up." Wasn't that the voice of the foxtail grass?
What secret did he hear her tell him?
The nurse was examining Situ Ming's body when she unexpectedly met a pair of bewildered, inquisitive eyes.
"Doctor Liu, Doctor Liu, Young Master Situ is awake!"
Dr. Liu and Duan Peng rushed into the ward. It took Situ Ming a while to react. When he was chasing Zhao Xiaoyue, he was ambushed by Situ Cheng. Later, he may have lost too much blood and fainted.
Situ Ming struggled to get up, and Duan Peng quickly helped him up. "Young Master, you have a bruise on the back of your head that hasn't completely cleared up, and you also have a moderate concussion. You can't sit up yet."
Dr. Liu quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, if it had been an inch lower, hitting the brainstem, the person would have become a vegetable, probably never to wake up again."
Situ Ming gave a curt "hmm" without any emotion and then fell silent.
How many days have I been in the hospital?
As he was gathering his thoughts, Duan Peng said, "It's been two weeks. Also, young master, Situ Cheng has been crippled, and in a completely disastrous way."
Situ Ming closed his eyes. Two weeks had passed; it had really been miserable!
"Well, it's ruined, so be it! Do you know who did it?"
Duan Peng shook his head. "The one who was fighting was supposedly a little girl, but... we don't know who crippled Situ Cheng. The person who brought you to the hospital was also a little girl and her uncle."
Situ Ming frowned. A little girl?
That must be Zhao Xiaoyue.
When can I be discharged from the hospital?
Dr. Liu had just received today's test results. "You'll need to stay for a few more days until the injury to the back of your head is completely healed before you can be discharged."
And so Situ Ming stayed in the hospital for another two weeks.
Sitting in the car, Zhao Xiaoyue had no idea that the person on the hospital bed opened their eyes the moment she left.
"Where shall we take the helm?"
Liang Cheng drove around on the road and then asked a question.
"Fourth Brother, let's go eat!"
Zhao Xiaoyue looked out the car window. Since the matter of transferring the land to Situ Ming had been put on hold, she should put the transformation on the agenda first. She also needed to consider whether she should go see her master.
A few days ago, Hou Taotao brought over the amount of money to be transferred to Master Pu's account, which almost made her fall off her chair.
She couldn't even imagine how much her master's net worth had increased over the years.
He said he didn't want it, and he just said no, all for a promise to bury him next to Huo Qingqing. She was truly impressed by his love-struck mind. He could completely entrust himself to Hou Taotao and the others...
Just thinking about it gives me a headache!
At 8 p.m., Zhao Xiaoyue called Hou Taotao to ask where he was. Hou Taotao walked to a secluded spot and replied, "Martial Arts Field."
Zhao Xiaoyue told him to wait, she needed to talk to him.
Then they went to the martial arts arena.
Hou Taotao handed over the venue arrangements to his subordinates and went out to pick up Zhao Xiaoyue.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaoyue arrived on time, carrying a file bag in her hand and humming a cheerful tune.
Upon seeing Hou Taotao, she greeted him expressionlessly, "Good evening, Brother Tao!" Hou Taotao didn't dare to show any expression either, and directly replied, "Good evening, Captain!" After exchanging pleasantries, Zhao Xiaoyue followed Hou Taotao to his spacious and bright office and sat down.
Zhao Xiaoyue handed the file bag to Hou Taotao and got straight to the point, explaining that it was a plan about the transformation of hunters.
After Yu Muqi finished explaining their educational level, she began working on the project proposal.
Hou Taotao opened the document and began to read it carefully. The more she read, the more surprised and puzzled she became, and the expression on her face became very complicated.
Finally, he looked up at Zhao Xiaoyue and asked, "Does the leader intend to transform the Hunters from a gang into a corporation?"
Zhao Xiaoyue nodded calmly in affirmation.
Then she continued, "I don't think the current gang model is conducive to our long-term development. If we want a brighter future, we must transform." After saying that, she waited quietly for Hou Taotao's reaction.
Seeing Hou Taotao's lack of understanding, Zhao Xiaoyue explained to Hou Taotao from all aspects why a transformation was necessary.
Finally, she said, "Brother Tao, do you know what the most important point is? It's that the country won't recognize gangs, especially gangs that resemble organized crime groups. These will become stepping stones for unscrupulous people to get promoted."
“You say you haven’t done anything detrimental to the interests of the country and the people, but we have a large population. Can you guarantee that everyone is clean? Then people will dig up a whole bunch of things, pulling out one radish and bringing out the mud. One or two things are fine, but if there are too many of these things, it will bring us annihilation.”
"Now all we're left with is the registration process. Actually, the hunter system is quite comprehensive; it's just missing a name change!"
Hou Taotao pondered, "Taking the helm is no small matter. I want to discuss it with the brothers."
Zhao Xiaoyue readily agreed, "Okay, there's no rush. But we need to complete the transformation within two years, otherwise, we'll be the ones getting the reward."
Hou Taotao was a little suspicious. Aren't there gangs in Kyoto? Why are they always watching us? Could it be?
Zhao Xiaoyue could see right through Hou Taotao's thoughts at a glance.
If these people weren't usually so obedient, she wouldn't have bothered saying all this.
So they changed their approach, saying, "You and Liang Cheng finish what you're doing now, and then do some in-depth research on each of the hunters to see what they usually do."
Then, with a half-smile, he asked Hou Taotao, "Brother Tao, do you believe I can make Xiao Lao Er of Kyoto disappear without a trace with just one letter?"
A hint of suspicion flashed in Hou Taotao's eyes, but she quickly lowered her head and pretended to be looking at the plan that the captain had brought, while occasionally stealing glances at the captain.
Xiao Lao Er's gang had been established for quite some time, but only people in the underworld knew about it. The political and business circles only knew what kind of business the Xiao family was in. But in Kyoto, if you're a tiger, you have to lie low; if you're a dragon, you have to coil up. Xiao Lao Er was one of the few gang leaders who could make a name for himself in Kyoto.
Hou Taotao was a little incredulous.
Zhao Xiaoyue laughed in exasperation, "How about we make a bet?"
"What are you willing to bet on, sir?" Hou Taotao immediately straightened his back and asked.
He felt that the captain was worrying unnecessarily. There were so many gangs, big and small, and the hunters were just one of them. The captain had no need to be so worried, and besides, he trusted his people.
He completely ignored the hunters' influence throughout the south and northwest.
The captain smiled and said, "Within a month, I'll have Xiao Xiaolin invited for tea. I've done it. Hunters will be transformed unconditionally."
Hou Taotao agreed without hesitation, "What if I can't steer the ship?"
Zhao Xiaoyue scoffed, "There's nothing I can't do."
After returning to her small apartment from the martial arts arena, Zhao Xiaoyue took a shower and sat down at her desk to write documents. Then, she took the computer she had asked Liang Cheng for and typed away, organizing her emails.
