"We'll make our move at dawn tomorrow. Go to the hospital, take care of that guy surnamed Sheng, and then we'll leave immediately!"
"Yes, brother!"
But Wang Ming never expected that, no matter how much he calculated, someone would see through his scheme.
The next day, early morning.
County hospital, VIP ward.
Xu Kuo, carrying a fruit basket, pretended to be an ordinary visitor and entered Captain Sheng's ward.
Inside and outside the ward, everything seemed calm, but he keenly caught several faint glances that remained fixed on the direction of the ward.
The fish... seem to have started to linger around the bait.
Xu Kuo smiled slightly.
Meanwhile, in the teahouse opposite the hospital, at the alleyway next door, and even in plainclothes officers disguised as patients' family members, Yuan Guoyao and dozens of elite police officers were already in position, waiting for Xu Kuo to give the signal.
Xu Kuo calmly walked into the ward carrying a fruit basket.
Inside the ward, Sheng Xu lay on the bed, his face still pale, while his wife stayed by his bedside to take care of him.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock".
Sheng Xu's wife looked at Xu Kuo, and seeing him nod, she stood up and replied.
"Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a "doctor" wearing a white coat and a mask walked in, carrying a tray with syringes and medicine on it.
"The patient needs a change of medication."
The doctor's voice sounded somewhat muffled through the mask.
Sheng Xu's wife was a little scared, but remembering Xu Kuo's instructions, she quickly moved aside.
The "doctor" walked to the bedside, picked up the syringe, drew up the medicine, and his movements seemed flawless.
However, just as he approached Sheng Xu, preparing to insert the needle into the IV line—
The "doctor's" eyes suddenly turned fierce. With a flick of his wrist, the syringe that was supposed to be injected into the IV tube suddenly turned around, preparing to pierce Sheng Xu's unsuspecting chest!
The needle tip flashed a cold light under the lamp!
It's here!
Xu Kuo had been waiting for this moment!
He reacted almost the instant the "doctor" made his move!
His right leg shot out like a whip, striking the "doctor" precisely in the lower back!
Caught off guard, the "doctor" was sent flying and crashed hard into the opposite wall with a painful groan. The syringe in his hand fell to the ground, splattering medicine everywhere.
"Ah!" Sheng Xu's wife screamed in fright.
That scream seemed to be a signal!
"Let's do it!"
A low growl came from outside the door!
The next moment, the ward door was suddenly kicked open, and then several people who had been disguised as nurses and patients' family members revealed their true colors, and had somehow picked up scalpels and iron bars.
They surged in like a tidal wave, their target Sheng Xu on the sickbed and Xu Kuo blocking their way!
At the same time, the window was smashed from the outside with a crash, and several figures jumped in!
The entire ward was instantly filled with rioters, exuding a murderous aura!
"Run!"
Sheng Xu's wife was so frightened by the scene that she scrambled to hide in a corner.
Other nurses who witnessed the scene, along with a few patients and their families, screamed and scattered in all directions, creating chaos in the corridor!
Xu Kuo remained motionless, standing in front of Sheng Xu's hospital bed, his cold gaze sweeping over the at least twenty or thirty people who had rushed in.
"Kid! Get out of the way if you don't want to die!" a scarred-faced leader roared viciously.
"We just want Sheng Xu's life!"
Xu Kuo sneered.
"You bunch of chickens and dogs?"
"Perfect, saves me the trouble of searching for them one by one! I'll take you all down today!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Kuo took the initiative to meet the first few thugs.
He was incredibly fast, fighting off the thugs in the cramped space of the hospital room.
"Crack!" The wrist of the first thug who rushed up was broken by Xu Kuo in the opposite direction. The dagger fell to the ground with a clatter. Before he could even scream, Xu Kuo chopped him in the neck with a hand chop and he collapsed limply.
"Bang!" Xu Kuo dodged the iron rod swung by the second thug and kicked him in the knee, the sound of bone cracking clearly audible!
"ah!"
Screams of agony rose and fell!
Xu Kuo was like a tiger among sheep; every time he made a move, someone inevitably fell.
His movements were clean and efficient, without any unnecessary actions. Every attack was aimed at the vital points, yet he precisely controlled the force, injuring without killing!
Inside the ward, figures fluttered about, tables and chairs shattered, and glass shards were scattered everywhere.
Those originally aggressive thugs were as fragile as paper in front of Xu Kuo, completely vulnerable.
downstairs.
Yuan Guoyao paced anxiously, the sounds of fighting and screams coming from upstairs making him extremely worried!
"Reporting to Elder Yuan!" A police officer in charge of perimeter security rushed over, his face pale and his voice trembling.
"Something's happened upstairs! Lots of people! I estimate at least thirty or forty people have stormed into Captain Sheng's ward! Xu Kuo... Comrade Xu Kuo is holding them off all by himself inside!"
"What?!" Yuan Guoyao was shocked, his heart sinking!
Thirty or forty people?!
How could so many have managed to sneak in?!
Wouldn't Xu Kuo be finished?
A chill ran down Yuan Guoyao's spine, and he dared not think any further!
"Quick! Everyone! Follow me upstairs to provide support! Quick!!" Yuan Guoyao drew his pistol, veins bulging on his forehead, and roared the order, becoming the first to rush towards the stairs!
A group of elite police officers followed closely behind, their footsteps echoing on the stairs!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
At the ward door, Yuan Guoyao arrived with his men, only to find that the door had been jammed shut from the inside!
"Break it open! Break it open as fast as you can!" Yuan Guoyao was extremely anxious and personally led the way, slamming his shoulder against the door!
"One! Two! Three! Crash!"
"Boom—!"
With a group of people working together to ram the door, which hadn't been locked for a long time, it was finally forced open.
The moment the door was kicked open—
Yuen Kwok-yiu and the first few police officers, guns at the ready and eyes red, were about to rush in and fight the criminals to the death when they were stunned by the scene before them!
The anticipated scene of Xu Kuo fighting a bloody battle or being outnumbered did not occur at all!
In the chaotic ward, Xu Kuo stood in the center, his clothes spotless, and his breathing not even too rapid.
At his feet lay a jumble of people lying haphazardly!
The thugs who had just stormed in were now all bruised and battered, with broken arms and legs, groaning in pain on the ground. None of them could stand up!
Among them, two figures stood out—one was Wang Ming, whose face was filled with fear and disbelief, and the other was Officer Liu, who had been beaten to the ground!
The way they looked at Xu Kuo was filled with fear!
"A demon...this guy...is a demon..."
"Quickly, arrest me! I'll tell you everything."
Officer Liu shouted, wanting protection from the Public Security Bureau.
This was the only thought on the minds of all the thugs who could still think.
Dozens of them, armed with weapons, were actually... were all taken down by one person in such a short time?!
