Chapter 3883 This matter is not simple!
Ji Ran's medical skills are top-notch even in [Azure]... Although the use of power is prohibited in [Qilin City], as long as Yuan Yuan is not dead, she still has a way to keep her alive.
"……bullet?"
While cleaning the wound, Ji Ran discovered the cause of Yuan Yuan's injury, but Chen Keqing didn't say anything.
The rest of the time was spent with Ji Ran focusing on treating her... Once the wound was stitched up and Yuan Yuan's expression changed from pain to peaceful sleep, Sister Qing visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After tidying up the medical tools, Ji Ran gave Qing Jie a look... The two then went to the balcony and closed the sliding door.
With two people standing on the small balcony, the space seemed even smaller.
Ji Ran spoke up first: "Yuanyuan suffered a gunshot wound, no wonder you didn't take her to the hospital... Sister Qing, you promised me you would explain the whole thing clearly, how could an ordinary person get a gunshot wound? And in [Qilin City]?"
Chen Keqing thought for a moment and asked, "How long will it take for Yuanyuan to wake up? Will there be any aftereffects?"
Ji Ran frowned, feeling somewhat displeased, but her instinct as a doctor compelled her to reply, "Don't worry, she should wake up in three hours at most. She will be weak for a while, since she missed the optimal treatment time and lost a lot of blood... As for aftereffects, there shouldn't be any."
Suddenly, Sister Qing said, "You shouldn't have stayed in that kind of small community hospital. I've seen many great doctors who could save lives quickly in such situations... but apart from you, not one of them."
"Can we get down to business?" Ji Ran picked up the phone directly. "I need to call 110."
Sister Qing sighed and said, "Xiao Ji, you know what we do. Yuan Yuan recently took on a side job, which is to accompany a wealthy man. At first, it was going well, but we never expected that this wealthy man wasn't someone who did legitimate business."
Ji Ran kept staring into the other person's eyes.
Sister Qing said calmly, "The client's enemy came knocking. That guy pushed Yuanyuan out to take a bullet for him, and then abandoned her and ran away. She had no choice but to call me. I remembered that you have medical skills, so I had to come to you with a 'let's give it a try' attitude. That's the whole story... If you don't believe me, I can show you the client's information."
Sister Qing actually took out her phone and opened a document.
Ji Ran glanced at it casually. There was a photo of a middle-aged man on the document. He looked quite respectable... There was also a lot of information, in both Chinese and English.
"This person's Chinese name is Zuo Weimen, and his Japanese name is Sato Weimen," Sister Qing continued. "He is of mixed Chinese and Japanese descent and has been investing in China for over ten years... You can find his information online."
“…Alright.” Ji Ran shook her head. “I don’t intend to interfere with what kind of business you do. Everyone has their own way of making a living. However, you should try to avoid dangerous things in the future. After all, no matter how much you earn, you have to be alive to spend it.”
Sister Qing said sadly, "Actually, Yuanyuan planned to quit after this job, and I tried to persuade her to stop."
Ji Ran shook her head. She suddenly remembered Ah Bao, who had died tragically earlier. "Will there be any repercussions for Yuan Yuan's case? How dare those people commit murder with guns in Qilin City?"
“It’s not in [Qilin City].” Sister Qing shook her head: “It’s in one of the satellite cities in the western development zone. Yuanyuan has been there with Sato Emon for a while now… As for his enemies, I don’t know their background yet. I only know that they seem to be Japanese and can carry guns… They’re probably not from any respectable family.”
"You really don't plan to report it to the police?"
"Our identities are, after all, shady..." Sister Qing smiled bitterly, "When you encounter something like this, what can you do besides accept your bad luck?"
Ji Ran remained silent for a long time.
Suddenly, Sister Qing said, "Xiao Ji, can we stay here for the next few days? I promise, we'll leave as soon as things calm down, after all..."
Ji Ran waved her hand and said calmly, "I go to work very early during the day and come back very late. If you don't mind that the place is small, you can stay here for the time being. After all, she... needs to have her dressings changed on time. I will rush back tomorrow at noon and bring her some anti-inflammatory medicine."
"Thanks……"
"Go keep her company, I'm going to take a shower," Ji Ran said calmly.
Sister Qing nodded, walked quickly to the window, and held Yuanyuan's hand tightly with a concerned expression... Ji Ran glanced at her silently. She couldn't really tell when Chen Keqing was being genuine and when she was being insincere.
This woman's ability to disguise her emotions is truly masterful.
Therefore, she didn't believe a single word of what Chen Keqing had just said.
More importantly, as a top-notch physician, she could tell from the very beginning that Yuanyuan didn't have much of a masculine aura.
She had experience, but clearly very little... and it had probably been a long time since she had shared a room with anyone. This situation seemed very incongruous with Yuanyuan's profession as an escort.
But since they chose to keep it a secret, there's no point in delving into it... After all, they were just casual acquaintances, and at most, it was just a friendly exchange of spellcasting materials in the group chat.
snort--!
As the top medical expert of [Azure] and the former personal physician of [Netherworld Saint Emperor], do you know how much she charges for a single treatment?
"Huh? Maybe I can start charging some rent..."
Water splashed onto Ji Ran's fair skin, and Xiao Yi Niang suddenly realized... Although Yuan Yuan was somewhat chaste, most of the girls in the group were indeed sluts.
Sister Qing... Qing's mother, this madam, must have made a lot of money.
rich!
……
……
There is a speed called the speed of China—before entering the superhuman society, China already possessed the world's strongest infrastructure capabilities, and now it seems to have undergone a super evolution.
Surrounding Qilin City, satellite city development zones have sprung up from the ground, roads are almost completed, high-rise buildings stand tall, and the air is filled with the smell of formaldehyde—the construction is happening far too fast!
Once the year was over, it was as if the world had changed.
A large number of new immigrants have begun to flock to the surrounding satellite cities during the New Year period, and the area is now bustling with life, with cars and pedestrians filling the brand-new streets.
Numerous entertainment venues sprang up like mushrooms after rain, making great strides.
The western development zone is currently being officially named "White Tiger City," continuing the style of "Qilin City."
In a high-end clubhouse in White Tiger City.
"...Song Sang, hahaha, without the help of the [Song Dynasty], we wouldn't have been able to get the land permit so quickly!"
"Mr. Chida, you're too kind." Song Haoran smiled calmly—in fact, the [Song Dynasty] didn't put in much effort; it was mainly the old guys from the [Dao Association] who were doing the work.
Those old guys were really concerned about the large number of lost ancient books that the Daidoji Foundation had brought with them this time.
As for the Chinese government, they were actually hoping someone would contribute money and effort to help build the four satellite cities... Anyway, once the construction was fully completed, they could do whatever they wanted on their own territory, and no one else would have the right to interfere.
Do you know what the rules of conduct are in China?
"By the way, Mr. Chida, I've already completed all the details of this collaboration." Song Haoran narrowed his eyes. "When will the promised services arrive?"
“Song-san, no need to rush!” Chida Hideo quickly said, “The goods have been prepared long ago and are currently being transported by sea, personally escorted by several of our country’s great Onmyoji. The Emperor also attaches great importance to this cooperation.”
"Then I'll wait for Mr. Chishima's good news." Song Haoran nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Hideo Chida clapped his hands, and soon several beautiful women in kimonos pushed open the door and entered. "Although the gift for the esteemed Daoist master has not yet arrived, I have prepared some small gifts for Song-san... These are all virgins who have never been with anyone and have undergone rigorous training. Please accept them, Song-san."
Song Haoran's reputation wasn't very good to begin with, and he was known for his frivolous behavior back then, so Chida Hideo's move was essentially playing to his tastes.
"Oh? Then I really need to see for myself." Song Haoran casually pulled one of the women, who had a restrained, ascetic look, into his arms and lifted her chin. "Is she really that amazing?"
Hideo Chida immediately gave him a look.
Then another woman in a kimono knelt gracefully on the ground, bowing her head and softly saying, "Excuse me."
Then, the woman in the kimono brought out a few things—two cushions, an egg, and a deck of cards.
She placed an egg on the cushion, then put another cushion on top of it, and then placed the playing cards on the second cushion, arranging them neatly.
The woman then sat down—and soon after, the playing cards were laid out in a neat circle.
Song Haoran's eyes lit up slightly—it had to be the Japanese again. This kind of skill should be a traditional Chinese craft, which most people don't practice anymore in this day and age.
—I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on tonight!
"And you? What special skills do you have?" he asked the woman in his arms with great interest.
Just then, the door to the private room opened again, but it was Chida Hideo's assistant, Oshima Kazuo, who entered... a guy that Song Haoran felt was like a venomous snake.
Kazuo Oshima did not come in, but knelt outside the door.
Hideo Chida merely glanced at her, but ignored her, continuing the atmosphere of the gathering and letting the women continue their performance.
Song Haoran casually said, "Mr. Chida, you should go ahead and take care of your business. There are so many beauties, enough for me to play with for a long time... I have no interest in performing in front of others."
"Hahaha!" Chida Hideo said with a smile, "It was my oversight... Well then, Song-san, I'll excuse myself for a moment."
Song Haoran waved his hand, as if dismissing an old eunuch, "Go."
He could have been much tougher. After all, after Shenzhou Longjun's trip to the United States, the whole world has become much more "well-behaved"... I heard that today's Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference ended in less than two minutes, with only one junior reporter cautiously asking an insignificant question.
Old Song was still in a good mood.
……
In the corridor outside the door, Hideo Chida's fawning smile had vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.
“Managing Director Chida…” Kazuo Oshima was about to speak.
Hideo Chida made a shushing gesture. "Come with me."
"Hi!"
The two soon arrived at a quiet courtyard... surrounded by six men in black suits to prevent outsiders from approaching without cause.
In the satellite city, supernatural powers are no longer prohibited... These six men are clearly not ordinary people.
"What's going on?" Chida Hideo fetched some fish food and fed it to the koi in the garden pond. "Don't you know I'm dealing with that troublesome Song Haoran?"
“It’s about Sato Emon,” Kazuo Oshima leaned closer and whispered. “He’s escaped.”
"With so many people mobilized, how could he still escape?" Chida Hideo raised his hand and slapped Oshima Kazuo across the face. "Are they all useless?"
“Sato Emon took a bullet for a woman,” Kazuo Oshima said calmly. “He then jumped out of the window and escaped. When our people caught up, the people from [the other side] also arrived at the same time and took Sato Emon away.”
"Over there..." Chida Hideo's expression darkened. "Hmph! A bunch of old fogies, clinging to outdated ideas. They should have been buried long ago!"
Kazuo Oshima said, "They should be retaliating soon."
“Let me think…” Chida Hideo continued feeding the fish, pondering, “Who is that woman who took the bullet for Sato Emon? Where is she now?”
"Preliminary investigation suggests that the other party was merely a plaything for Sato Emon, likely just an ordinary person," Oshima Kazuo quickly stated. "When she was shot and fell to the ground, our men didn't pay much attention to her; instead, they all went after Sato… When they returned, the woman seemed to have been taken away by someone… The person cleaned up the traces before leaving, their methods were quite professional, unlike an ordinary person. Our men tracked them down, and they believe the person eventually entered [Kirin Castle]."
Hideo Chida gave a soft "hmm" that revealed no emotion... Once people entered [Kirin City], they became even harder to find.
"[Kirin Castle]...it seems that's not the case!" Chida Hideo thought for a moment and said, "Find Sato Emon's whereabouts as soon as possible! He won't just return to his homeland like this...This assassination attempt failed, and [the other side] will increase their protection of him, and may even retaliate. Tell everyone below to be careful!"
"Hi!"
After that, Hideo Chida gave a few more instructions, then tidied his clothes slightly, rubbed his cheeks, and once again showed a warm smile before returning to the private room.
But the private room was now completely empty.
"What happened? Where is Song-san?" Chida Hideo asked, frowning as he beckoned someone over.
“Mr. Song said the formaldehyde smell here was too strong and he didn’t like it… so he took the young ladies back with him,” the servant replied respectfully, kneeling on the ground.
"He really took all the women with him?" Hideo Chida frowned.
“Yes, Mr. Song said he really likes this gift.” The servant nodded. “He also said he has to return to Qilin City and there’s nothing else to do, so we won’t contact him for now. We’ll let him know when the gift arrives.”
"I understand, you may leave." Hideo Chida waved his hand.
He sat alone in the private booth, poured himself a glass of sake, and just as he was about to drink it, he suddenly slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang, “…Song Haoran!”
……
……
"Second Master, you're back... Who are these women?" Song Xiong looked curiously at the women in the car, who were dressed in kimonos but had obviously fainted.
"Is it pretty?" Song Haoran asked casually.
Without saying a word, Song Xiong gave a thumbs up, "Top-quality goods!"
"Take it and play with it." Song Haoran waved his hand. "But they all know seductive arts, so be careful not to get caught off guard."
Song Xiong's face fell. "Second Master, you know I love my wife very much!"
Song Haoran said, "I love your wife very much too."
"Second Master, you..." Xiong Ge was shocked!
"After all, she's kind of my aunt!" Song Haoran said with a hearty laugh, "Thank you!"
If it weren't for the fact that he was truly outmatched, he would have punched this guy at least once... Song Xiong rolled his eyes in annoyance, "Second Master, you'd better hurry up and go upstairs. Miss Chuyang, whom you brought along, has been looking for you several times already!"
“Eh…” Song Haoran couldn’t help but rub his forehead.
To Princess Chuyang... am I like Xiao Songzi or Xiao Haozi?
