Chapter 538 - Less Hair, More Strength (2/2)

He could tell that these two had practiced martial arts.

Since they knew Jin Wenwen, it was even more likely that they had practiced martial arts.

He was of a mind to spar with someone of his age, but this was clearly not the time to propose such a request.

They all fell silent. Soon, the ER door opened, and two nurses escorted the unconscious Jin Wenwen to a ward.

Another two doctors walked out with the nurses.

One of the doctors stopped and, looking at Roland and the others, asked, “Which of you is her family?”

After a long time, Qi Shaoqiu heaved a sigh and said, “I am, sort of.”

“Either you are her family, or you aren’t. What do you mean by ‘sort of’?” The doctor looked rather displeased.

“I’m her ex-boyfriend. We haven’t talked in years. I only learned that she was hurt by chance and came to look after her.”

After a brief stun, the doctor put on a weird expression and finally said, “She has two broken ribs that pierced her lungs. They weren’t deep, but she didn’t come to the hospital immediately after she got hurt. It’s already remarkable enough that she survived so long. Also, she has a severe bruise on her upper esophagus, which was probably caused by someone else. You can call the police if you think it’s necessary.”

Hearing that, both the old man and the young man looked nervous. Qi Shaoqiu casually said, “Got it. How is she doing now?”

“She’s safe for now,” replied the doctor. “However, in order to be safe, she’d better stay in the ICU for two days. Go pay for the ICU stay at the counter first.”

Qi Shaoqiu nodded.

Then the doctor left. There were too many patients in the public hospital for him to linger for too long

Qi Shaoqiu said to the old man and the young man, “I don’t want to be too involved with her anymore. I’m only doing this for old time’s sake. If you’re free, you can wait here for a moment. I’ll call her family after I make the payment. You can negotiate with them.”

Then, Qi Shaoqiu went to the counter to make the payment.

Roland looked at the old man and peeped at his bald head again.

But his secret movement was noticed by the old man, who became even unhappier.

After a moment of hesitation, Roland asked, “Sir, did you lose your hair because you practiced the Iron Head Art?”

The old man became even more p.i.s.sed, if not furious. “No! This is genetic!”

The young man stepped forward and looked at Roland angrily.

He knew how sensitive his father was about the matter. Ten years earlier, his father had a dozen hairs left on the head, and his father tended to the hairs every day more carefully than he took care of his family. However, it was inevitable that his hairs would fall no matter how he took care of them.

Losing one hair each year, he had become completely bald after ten years.

Some people were still happy and optimistic even though they were bald, but this old man was one of those who got cranky after his hair was gone.

Roland wasn’t scared although the father and the son were both angry.

He had a feeling that they were no match for him even if they attacked him together.

“Don’t be mad. I’m not mocking you,” said Roland casually. “I only want to learn the Iron Head Art from you. I can pay tuition.”

Roland wondered if the ma.s.s of energy above the old man’s head was because of the Iron Head Art.

At this moment, Qi Shaoqiu had just returned from making the payment. He said gloomily, “Roland, you still want to learn the Iron Head Art after you’ve already learned boxing and the Miaodao technique? You’re too greedy.”

“You can never learn too many skills.”

The old man was less angry after hearing Roland’s request, but he still looked at Roland out of the corner of his eyes. “Right now, I’m in no mood for teaching you any techniques.”

Roland smiled. “Then I’ll come to you again if I have a chance.”

After that, Roland and Qi Shaoqiu left.

Both of them scanned the QR code and got a public bike. Then Qi Shaoqiu asked, “I’ll go back to my pickup. Right, do you really want to learn the Iron Head Art?” “I’m slightly interested in it.”

“In fact, it’s a popular technique. I know how to practice it too. Why don’t you come to the saber arts club and let me teach you? I won’t charge you.”

Roland shook his head. “You’re clearly not a professional. He’s already lost all his hair after training, but you still have so much hair.”

“Is this about hair at all? I’m only doing this for… Forget it. You’re just an idiot.” Qi Shaoqiu suddenly became frustrated. “Although I have nothing to teach you anymore, you are a student of the Qi family. Come to the saber arts club and have a chat with us when you’re free.”

“I will.”

“Don’t go back on your promise.”

Qi Shaoqiu waved at Roland and rode the bike away.

Finding a new energy ma.s.s, and probably the reason for the energy ma.s.ses, Roland was very delighted

Luck was really a strange thing. He had never found any leads when he specifically searched for them, but he ran into something valuable when he was just roaming.

It was truly weird.

Riding the bike home with a smile, Roland had lunch and opened the chat app. Then, a message popped up. O’Neal: “Everybody has been informed. We’ll get to work when the game starts tonight.”
