Su Ruyi pretended to take his pulse for a long time, then sighed, "It can't be cured."
"What...it can't be cured?" Xia Dong swayed, stammering, "Why?"
“It’s too late. Even if the key disk is removed, she won’t be able to speak or eat anymore, and she’ll be trembling for the rest of her life, relying on a ventilator and IV drips to maintain her vital signs.” Su Ruyi sighed, “It’s really too late.”
"This...this is no different from having surgery, is it?" Han Weiguo blurted out. "Su Ruyi, are you trying to pull some kind of trick?"
"Chief Han, please use your brain and think about this—if you don't receive immediate medical attention after being injured, what other outcome do you expect? I'm not a god!" Su Ruyi rolled her eyes at him.
“The first thing I did…” Xia Dong grabbed his hair.
"What a pity, I was locked up by you for several days, otherwise your daughter might have been saved!" Su Ruyi said wistfully.
Upon hearing this, Xia Dong's eyes turned bloodshot, and he didn't even realize that he had already pulled out a large lock of hair.
"You don't want to treat Lulu, do you?"
Fearing Xia Dong would take her anger out on him, Han Weiguo quickly got up and walked over to her, trying to divert her attention, saying, "Don't try anything funny! Su Ruyi, you're not alone in this world. You have a brother and a grandfather. When you hid, did you take your grandfather with you?"
"Chief Han, are you threatening me with my grandfather?!" Su Ruyi took a step back, avoiding Han Weiguo's breath reeking of smoke. "I'm curious, if I don't give Xia Tianlu the treatment, will you kill my grandfather?"
"Your grandfather is almost seventy, right? Then it's easy for him to have an accident. He might not be able to walk steadily, fall into a ditch and break both his legs, or hit his head directly on a rock. These are all possibilities, right?" Han Weiguo approached Su Ruyi.
"Please don't stand so close to me, it stinks." Su Ruyi took another step back. "Commander Han, you have tens of thousands of soldiers under your command, you couldn't possibly do something so disgusting, could you? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Su Ruyi guided Han Weiguo step by step, because she was recording a conversation to gather evidence for Cheng Weiguo and that bigwig in Beijing.
"Hmph! Naive! You're still just a teenage girl!" Han Weiguo sneered. "I've done this countless times, and I've never seen any retribution!!"
"You also broke someone else's grandfather's leg?" Su Ruyi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Legs?" Han Weiguo said in a casual tone, trying to scare Su Ruyi. "Legs are nothing! People I don't like, their lives are mine!"
"You've killed someone?!" Su Ruyi took a few steps back, feigning fear. "I don't believe it!"
"Looks like I'll have to get serious with you!" Han Weiguo said, pulling out a pistol from his waist and slowly screwing on the silencer.
As expected, Xia Dong stepped in to play the bad cop: "Teacher, it's not that serious. Let me talk to her!"
"Alright, didn't you realize this little girl was a tough nut to crack?" Han Weiguo sneered. "Your methods are completely useless! But hey, little girl, you're treating people with your hands, not your feet, aren't you?"
As Han Weiguo spoke, he aimed his gun at Su Ruyi's left foot and fired.
"Pfft..." After a hollow gunshot, the two looked at Su Ruyi's feet.
Nothing happened.
There were no bullet holes, no bloodstains, and no screams.
"A dud?!" Han Weiguo couldn't believe his eyes. He had this gun for over thirty years and it had never been a dud before.
Han Weiguo removed the magazine and saw that one bullet was missing.
His scalp suddenly felt numb.
The bullet was stored in Su Ruyi's spatial storage the moment the gun was fired.
Han Weiguo, refusing to believe it, pushed the magazine up and pressed the pistol directly against Su Ruyi's forehead: "This gun of mine has never had a dud. Do you think it will hit you this time?"
"If you kill me, who will treat Xia Tianlu's injuries?!" Su Ruyi snorted.
However, just to be on the safe side, she transferred all the bullets from the gun to her spatial storage.
Han Weiguo sneered, "Admit it now? You can cure me!"
After saying that, she turned to Xia Dong and said, "Xiao Dong, she can cure him!"
"I won't give Xia Tianlu any treatment. If you want to shoot me dead, go ahead." Su Ruyi stood still.
Han Weiguo lowered the muzzle and opened the gun, pressing it against Su Ruyi's thigh.
This method of shooting is extremely vicious; if someone is actually shot, amputation is necessary.
However, the gun still only made a hollow "plop" sound.
Undeterred, Han Weiguo fired four shots in a row, only to get four "poof" sounds.
He removed the magazine and found it was empty; there wasn't a single bullet left.
At that moment, Han Weiguo's materialistic worldview, which he had accumulated over the first half of his life, collapsed instantly.
But he still refused to believe it and suddenly pulled out an even smaller pistol from his lower back. With lightning speed, he fired another shot at Su Ruyi's thigh.
Su Ruyi hadn't expected this. She was hesitating whether to slip into the space when she heard another hollow "poof" sound from the gun barrel—this time, it was a dud.
But at the same time, she suddenly felt a burning sensation under her clothes.
Su Ruyi immediately sensed that a protective talisman had spontaneously combusted.
The Empress saved her life!
Su Ruyi was covered in cold sweat and immediately used her divine sense to collect the bullets from the gun.
He quickly scanned Han Weiguo's entire body and then discovered that in addition to the gun in his hand, he also had an even smaller gun under his arm!
