Chapter 541 - Poor Love Birds (1/2)

Hardly had Roland approached when he smelled rust. Shocked, he squeezed through the students who were watching and saw Qi Shaoqiu lying in blood.

Schuck was treating Qi Shaoqiu’s wound with bandages, but blood was still flowing out of his waist, as could be seen from the stains on the bandages. Li Lin, on the other hand, was helping treat Qi Shaoqiu’s shoulder.

Both of them had learned battlefield first aid from NPCs in the game, so they did it quickly and well.

Night Tide Sands, on the other hand, kept wiping Qi Shaoqiu’s sweat for him with a towel palely.

Qi Shaoqiu was lying on his left side. He had already pa.s.sed out, and his face had lost all color.

He was gravely wounded.

After Roland squeezed in, he realized Qi Shaoqiu’s condition after only a quick glance.

The man had been stabbed in the back, and his right arm was chopped off.

Roland looked around and found Qi Shaoqiu’s severed arm on the ground with blood leaking out.

He immediately said to Night Tide Sands, “Go grab some plastic bags and wrap from the kitchen. Put some ice into the bag from the fridge. We don’t need too much ice. A little bit will be fine. Go!”

Night Tide Sands knew the kitchen best, so it would be better for her to fetch the stuff. She didn’t have to search.

Hearing Roland’s voice, Night Tide Sands raised her head, and she seemed much more at ease.

She nodded and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Roland asked, “What happened here?”

“A quarter of an hour ago, two men came saying that they wanted to learn miaodao. They asked about the price and said it was okay. But when Qi Shaoqiu turned around, they ambushed him from the back.” Schuck seemed angry. “Li Lin and I were teaching the new students in the field. We saw them taking out weapons, a short sword and a short saber, from underneath their clothes.”

“The short sword stabbed his kidney, and the short saber cut his arm?”

Looking at where Qi Shaoqiu fell, and considering what Schuck said, Roland was already able to recreate the a.s.sault against Qi Shaoqiu in his head.

“The criminals were well-prepared. Did Qi Shaoqiu p.i.s.s off anyone recently?” asked Roland.

Both of them shook their heads.

The students nearby commented, “Master Qi has spent most of his time in the saber arts club. I don’t think he offended anyone.”

“I never heard Master Qi mention anything of the sort.”

“It’s true that no matter how good you are at saber arts, you can be still vulnerable to ambushes!”

Roland turned his head and looked at the students who were taking pictures… They could attract a lot of attention if they were to post the pictures and videos they took online.

Even more unbelievably, some girls were weeping but they didn’t stop filming.

Their faces had turned pale since they saw the blood, but they were still holding their phones high and saying things like “So terrible” and “I’m frightened.”

Roland was of a mind to ask them to stop filming, but at this moment, Night Tide Sands came back.

Roland accepted the plastic wrap from her and tied Qi Shaoqiu’s severed arm up with it. He then put the arm in the yellow plastic bag that contained some ice.

The ice could lower the temperature in the bag, so that the severed arm could stay alive longer. He covered the arm with the plastic wrap to prevent bacterial infection.

That was because the ice in the fridge actually contained lots of bacteria, many of which were resistant to cold and could cause infections. If Qi Shaoqiu’s arm was recklessly mixed with such ice in the bag, the cut on the arm would definitely be contaminated by bacteria.

Then, when the arm was reattached, the doctor would have to do a lot of extra work. The odds of success of the reattachment might be affected too.

Therefore, Roland made a sensible choice.

Putting the arm in the big bag carefully, Roland asked, “Have you called 110 and 120?”

“Yes, we’ve called both,” said the students who were watching. Night Tide Sands grabbed a towel and wiped sweat off Qi Shaoqiu again.

Apart from blood, Qi Shaoqiu’s clothes were almost soaked in sweat, which was a sign of electrolyte disturbance.

Why was the ambulance still not here?

Roland was more or less anxious.

At this moment, Schuck had already tied up the wound on the back of Qi Shaoqiu’s waist.

Under the pressure of the thick bandages, the blood from the back of his waist was condensing and flowing out more slowly.

Very soon, Li Lin finished dressing the wound on the shoulder too.

Li Lin stood up and said, “It’s pointless for me to stay here. I’ll go and ask the hooligans I know. Perhaps they know a thing or two.”

Roland and Schuck nodded.

Then, Li Lin squeezed through the crowd and drove his car away.

One minute after Li Lin left, the police car arrived.

This was the suburb, so it would really take some time for the police to arrive from downtown.

After the police came, they quickly drove the watching students aside.

A policeman was about to ask questions, when he was stunned to see Schuck. “Uncle Kunpeng, why are you here?”.

“I’m a student at this club too,” said Schuck.

“Is he your friend?”.

Schuck nodded. “Yes, so please work harder on this case. Also, help me inform Ah Rong in street patrol and Ah Fa and Ah Yu who are in the traffic police force. Ask them to get the surveillance footage of the cameras on the streets nearby.”

The policeman nodded. “Got it. I’ll pay extra attention to this case for you as long as my duties allow me to.”

Roland was quite impressed. He had known that Schuck had a high seniority status in the Yu family, but he didn’t know that it was so high.

The other policemen began to ask questions. They asked if there were any security cameras in this place.

As it happened, the answer was yes. Qi Shaoqiu had set up the cameras in case of thieves, but they now proved useful for a different purpose.

The policemen soon retrieved the footage of those cameras. Then, the ambulance arrived.

A doctor and a nurse got off from the ambulance and scurried close with a stretcher and a first aid box.

The doctor fluently opened Qi Shaoqiu’s eyes and aimed a flashlight at them, before he said, “Dilated pupils. Give him oxygen immediately.” The nurse activated the portable oxygen supplier in the first aid box and stuck a tube to Qi Shaoqiu’s nose.

The doctor examined Qi Shaoqiu’s wounds and then said, “Carry him to the ambulance as fast as you can. If any of his family or friends are here, two should come with us.”

Schuck and Roland put Qi Shaoqiu on the stretcher and then lifted it onto the ambulance. Naturally, the plastic bag that contained the severed arm was taken too.

Then, Roland and Night Tide Sands got on the ambulance following the doctor.

After the ambulance left, Schuck began to make calls. “Kunlin, are you in the hospital right now? I remember that you’re already the deputy director. Do you have any doctors who are good at operations in your hospital?”

“What happened, Old Eight?” A voice came out of the phone.

Schuck was the eighth oldest among all his cousins.
