Chapter 41: Being Chased by Huā Lìlì...

  Jiang Xueyu felt like her head was about to explode, the aftereffects of a hangover were far from pleasant. The first reaction after regaining consciousness and waking up was to press down on her temples, letting the dizzying pain that came back layer by layer in her brain disappear.

  Suddenly, Jiang Xueyu was stunned, and then she jumped up and screamed with a leap that far exceeded her athletic ability.

  A pair of jade rabbits that had been protected for over twenty years were held in a crisscross grip by a pair of hands, and the man's physiological characteristics could be clearly felt from behind. The upper body, not wearing a stitch, leaned against someone else's chest, all of which perfectly covered up the pain of a hangover. Jiang Xue suddenly sat up, wrapped herself in the quilt, jumped off the bed, and subconsciously reached down to her lower body, then let out a sigh of relief. Every month there were several days when she didn't feel comfortable, which was why she had dared to be so unrestrained the night before.

  No, no, this isn't one of my own cotton underwear, could it be...

  The man who opened his eyes on the bed stared at him, Jiang Xueyu's crazy scream, how could he encounter a dead pervert, how could he...

  Zhang Shidong stretched his waist and pointed to the bathroom: "Don't call out anymore, a woman who is not feeling well and vomiting after drinking too much, you don't care about your own body, but it's affecting me from having a good sleep. You should also consider that I'm a man who has been up all night buying you underwear and sanitary pads, and despite the visual and olfactory obstacles, I helped you change, what are you afraid of, touching your private parts? It's really..."

  If looks could kill, Zhang Shidong would have died countless times. Jiang Xueyu rushed into the bathroom and found evidence in the trash can. She washed her face with cold water, recalling everything from last night. A few minutes later, when Zhang Shidong was leaning against the headboard smoking a cigarette after putting on his T-shirt and pants, Jiang Xueyu walked out wrapped in a sheet, unusually calm, saying: "Where are my clothes?"

  "I've gone to wash at the hotel and just called them to have it delivered over."

  A few minutes later, the dry-cleaned and ironed clothes were delivered, Jiang Xueyu quickly changed into them, with an expression that nothing had happened the previous night, tied up her hair, walked out of the bathroom, picked up her bag, left a red old man's head in the money clip, took out all the remaining cash, and the panicked look from before had disappeared. The high-held head was no longer the weak girl from last night.

  Bang! A stack of banknotes worth several thousand yuan was slapped onto the bed, and Jiang Xueyu said coldly: "Your chest is very warm."

  The door closed, and the sound of high heels tapping on the floor gradually faded away.

  Cigarette, burned to the end without realizing it.

  Ash fell, Zhang Shidong looked at those red and green banknotes, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Now women are really more powerful than men, damn it, I've been busy for a night, and once again I was beautifully slept by a woman, damn!"

  ………

  In the hospital, Mr. Xue has come to and is surrounded by his grandchildren, with every face filled with bright smiles.

  "Benefactor, where is my benefactor?" The old man still remembered the voice that echoed in his ears when he had lost all hope. After waking up, he heard a story about a divine doctor who saved him with acupuncture. His body was starving, but nothing tasted good to eat; he just wanted to see the benefactor who saved his life and dignity as soon as possible.

  Kong Mei made a phone call to her son at everyone's repeated request. When Zhang Shidong leisurely had breakfast with the money Jiang Xueyu threw down and arrived at the hospital with his mother and Zhao Ya, what greeted him was no longer suspicion, but pairs of hands filled with gratitude and passionate words of thanks. Xue Cuiru, the eldest daughter who was most suspicious of Zhang Shidong, completely lost her corporate executive demeanor, only thanking and apologizing repeatedly.

  The old man's body was still a bit weak, and his withered hand grasped Zhang Shidong's hand without letting go.

  "Old man, you don't have to thank me, I've already received the payment. It was just a transaction between us, don't take it too much to heart."

  Zhang Shidong didn't want to give the old man a psychological burden, but as soon as his words fell, the faces of all the Xue family members in the house changed. The old man explained the reason for their change in expression with actual actions, his face sinking, not angry but majestic, turning his head to look at his eldest son Xue Jianjun: "What's going on?"

  After Zhang Jianjun explained a few words, the old man's other hand suddenly slapped the bed and pointed at his children: "Uninstructable, uninstructable! From small to large, have you all learned everything in your dog belly? Mr. Zhang, don't blame them, they don't take this old man's life seriously, I take my own life seriously..."

  Plop, Old Master's self-mockery had not ended yet. Xue Lin plop, knelt down in front of the sickbed: "Grandpa, I was wrong."

  Zhang Shidong patted the old man's hand and helped Xue Lin out of the situation: "Let's just say that the Xue family owes me a favor."

  "It's not human feelings, it's a life, a life that can bring more benefits to all of them. I'm not old and muddled yet, I'm alive, you have a backing. Remember, Xue Guo owes Mr. Zhang a life, all of you owe him a great favor."

  Having seen through the vanity and superficiality of the world, having tasted the vulgarity of the fame and fortune scene, the old man who had given birth to people, raised people, and severed ties with people, made a promise on behalf of his children, solemnly remembered Zhang Shidong's phone number, and told him their home's private phone number, instructing him to remember it firmly, only then did he agree to let Zhang Shidong take his mother and Zhao Ya away.

  Just started the car, the urgent mobile phone rang, Zhang Shidong glanced at it and answered: "Dad..."

  "Haha, kid, your dad's abilities are nowhere near enough to catch my personally trained disciple. Special forces? Now there are over a hundred police officers outside, but they're useless, can't even get in. Can you get in?"

  The phone hung up, Zhang Shidong closed his eyes, paused for five seconds, and then picked up the phone to call Su Fang. As soon as it was connected, he didn't care about the noisy environment on the other end: "Address?"

  Su Fang paused for a moment: "Dong Ge, now this situation..."

  Zhang Shidong repeated, his cold tone making Su Fang subconsciously respond as if to an order: "Dongfang Department Store, but the nearby intersection has been sealed off."

  "They're waiting for me, whoever they are, however many guns and hostages they have. Tell them I'm coming to play."

  The phone had just hung up when Lin Ziqiang's call came in: "Instructor..."

  Zhang Shidong started the car, and Zhao Ya helped him hold the phone so that he could quickly control the vehicle: "Someone is holding my dad's mobile phone to call me."

  Lin Ziqiang, who had received training from Zhang Shidong, knew how to report the situation: "The suspect in the 8·15 serious murder and robbery case was executed today, but escaped. Zhang Jun led the police force, cooperating with the municipal bureau and armed police to set up roadblocks throughout the city. To avoid the thugs detonating explosives in the downtown area, Zhang Jun voluntarily negotiated with the thugs and was captured. The entire Dongfang Shopping Mall is now under lockdown, and people in nearby buildings are being evacuated. Preliminary estimates suggest that over 200 shopping mall staff and customers have been taken hostage. It is currently known that there are more than eight thugs, armed with smuggled guns and explosives."

  Lin Ziqiang didn't go to introduce such a case, it was the second case in Beihai Province after its founding, and the only one in Pingjiang City. The case was so big that it reached the Ministry of Public Security, and the Minister himself asked about it, guaranteeing the safety of the hostages and the possible adverse social impact. He knew that telling Zhang Shidong these things was meaningless, and the only thing to do was to let this former strongman take action at the first time, seize the initiative, and take action before the anti-terrorism experts sent by the Northeast Military Region's special forces and the national special plane arrived.

  P.S: Frankly speaking, in order to get more clicks, I'll post one chapter in the morning and another in the afternoon. Let's see how it goes, no hiding or concealing, my goal is to achieve good results, even if it's just a little bit.
