Because the main road was blocked, the car could only take a detour.
The entire way, Ah Hu, the wounded bodyguard, glared at Gu Bai and no longer laughed and joked like before. He grinded his teeth and wanted to rush up and kill him. However, he remembered the Boss was still there and didn't dare to. His heart filled with anger.
Upon seeing this, Gu Bai didn't argue with him. He could understand the bodyguard's current feelings. If it was him that had his hand cut off, he probably would act the same way. He wouldn't argue with someone that wasn't calm.
Ignoring the bodyguard Ah Hu who was filled with rage, after Gu Bai suppressed the matter of demonic qi, he continued to sweet talk his man.
The other's expression was indescribable and his att.i.tude wasn't very enthusiastic, but Gu Bai could feel that the other side wasn't angry with him about the matter with the bodyguard.
On the contrary, it could be seen from the fact that the other side didn't refuse his request for help and protection. Although it was only the first time they had met in this world, the feelings they experienced in the numerous worlds stayed in the other's soul, and it was enough to cause his man not hurt him.
It wasn't that far from where they were to his man's hotel, as it would take only around 10 minutes. Gu Bai exerted as much effort that he could, and it was only when they arrived at the hotel did he receive his man's name, which was Xiao Li. Just hearing this name, Gu Bai could tell that it was just like his personality, a ruthless and domineering name!
After getting the name of his man, Gu Bai was instantly in a good mood. When he got out of the car, he even held onto the other's hand and didn't let go of him. Unexpectedly, his man didn't even try to drive him away.
Although there wasn't much of an expression on his man's face, yet there was Ah Hu the bodyguard, who had been following him for many years, so he was very clear about his Boss' temper. The Boss had a very cold and domineering temper, which made it hard for any ordinary person to approach.
Ah Hu didn't expect that the stinky boy not only got close to the Boss, but was also being sticky with him, yet the Boss didn't even bother to drive him away. In addition, he even protected him. Did the always cold Boss actually like this stinky boy?!
Just thinking about it, Ah Hu's heart filled with rage. His eyes that were glaring at Gu Bai turned even redder.
”Da Ge, don't glare at me. Maybe you'll even thank me later…”
Gu Bai, who was being glared at by Ah Hu, felt helpless. He couldn't help but speak up. As a result, he managed to anger the other to the point where his eyes became even more red. Ah Hu almost lost his mind, and it was only because he was pulled by another bodyguard who stood beside him that he didn't rush up to Gu Bai.
Gu Bai sighed and gave Xiao Li a faint but helpless look. He blinked, smiled, and made a gesture of sealing his mouth.
After entering the hotel, Xiao Li was led to a special elevator by the respectful manager without going through the normal procedure of checking-in, and he had to listen to the other side's praises and callings of ”Boss” coming out of his mouth. This luxury hotel in the center of the city belonged to his subordinates.
Soon, using the special elevator, Gu Bai followed him to the presidential suite on the 26th floor of the hotel. This place was usually not used for guests and was reserved just for the Boss.
The suite had three bedrooms, an exercise room, an entertainment room, a conference room, and a 300 square meter terrace, which had a private garden, an outdoor swimming pool, a spa, and so forth. It was very luxurious.
As soon as he entered the room, Xiao Li called up his personal doctor to come bandage the wound for Ah Hu again.
Ah Hu's severed hand couldn't be reattached anymore. Instead of going to the hospital now, he might as well have his personal doctor treat Ah Hu, as he was more reliable in treating these kinds of injuries.
The personal doctor was a polite man in his thirties. He started to work without saying a word of nonsense when he came in. It was only when he was finished did he speak.
”Ah Hu, this wound was cut well. Look at the smoothness of the cut. It was absolutely fast, accurate, and ruthless. A person would only have the skill to do this after training for ten or eight years. And you aren't even bleeding that much, so the person who hurt you can be called a Wulin expert…”
It was very different from his polite appearance. The moment he started speaking, the personal doctor no longer looked serious. With just a few words, he managed to raise Ah Hu's anger.
Since he currently couldn't do anything to Gu Bai, Ah Hu could only glare at him before he bitterly spoke to the doctor.
”Liu Ge, don't hold out on me. Aren't you the turtle's medical elite ma? You can even cure people's tumours in their heads. Quick, can you help me see if my hand can still be re-connected back? I even brought back the severed hand…”
”He can't reattach it…”
Without waiting for Dr. Liu to speak, Gu Bai's voice stimulated him once again.
”You, shut up!”
Ah Hu's face was red with anger. He was furious and had the urge to beat Gu Bai to death. He had seen arrogance, but he had never seen anyone injure someone and act so indifferent!
Xiao Li also looked at him. His expression was unpredictable, not because he was angry with him but because of some inexplicable helplessness. It was reasonable to say that the young man had hurt his subordinate, and with his short temper, he would never be this lenient.
However, not only was he now forgiving him, he also had no thoughts of blaming him for this matter. He now only wanted to protect him. It was inexplicable, but he had trouble resisting. More importantly, why was this young man so sure that he wouldn't do anything to him?
Gu Bai felt Xiao Li looking at him, so he returned the stare with a smile upon his face. Then he looked towards Ah Hu and spoke.
”I said earlier that I was saving you. Your hand is really useless now and can't be reattached. If you don't believe me, take out the severed hand and see what it looks like…”
”Fart! When I was bitten by a dog, I just went to the hospital to get a vaccine. You f.u.c.king cut my hand off! You're a vicious little thing. I'm telling you, if my hand…”
As soon as Gu Bai had finished his sentence, Ah Hu began to scold him angrily. At the same time, he went to take the severed hand from the bag, but midway through, he stopped abruptly and then cried out in horror.
”f.u.c.k, what's this thing? Where's my hand?!”
”Hey…”
The people in the room all hissed when they could clearly see what Ah Hu had brought out.
Ah Hu saw that it was indeed a hand on the table, but it wasn't like a hand that had just been recently cut off. Instead, it looked like a rotten hand that was decomposing and even emitted a disgusting smell that made them want to throw up.
For a while, the entire room was quiet, and everyone was unable to speak.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, and a bodyguard opened the door, only to see a man with a face full of anger and alarm as he walked to Xiao Li. He frantically began to speak.
”Boss, something happened to Zhou Wu. Don't know what's going on with him today. He's like a mad dog biting at people the moment he sees them. We tried giving him a rabies vaccination, but it wasn't of any use. He just finished his work and now he can't be near people. We didn't dare send him to the hospital. Let Liu Ge come with us to take a look…”
Hearing this, Ah Hu was the first one to respond and asked, ”What happened to Zhou Wu? What biting people?”
”Exactly… Hey! I don't know how to explain it. Anyway, as you guys can see, yesterday, when Zhou Wu came back, he told us that he wasn't feeling so well and went straight to his room to rest. However, today, he didn't come out at all. He didn't answer when we went to knock on his door, so we opened the door and went in. Who knew that when the door opened, Zhou Wu would become crazy and attack us. If he caught someone, he would bite them. We had no other option but to lock him in the room again. Boss, when you come back, let Liu Ge have a look. There's surveillance of that room. Look, Boss, he's still making a fuss. It's like he has rabies…”
The scary-looking man took out a mobile phone and put it in front of the crowd.
Everyone crowded around to look, and all they could see on the screen was a hotel room. In the room was a man who kept ramming into the door like a madman who lost his mind.
The sound of a beast-like roar came from the phone, and it was the same as the crazy man they had met on the street!
”When he came back yesterday, was he injured? Did the wound look like he had been bitten by someone…?” Gu Bai's clear voice rang out again.
”Ah, yes, yes, it was like that. How did you know?”
The scary-looking man stared at Gu Bai in surprise and nodded his head.
”We met a man in the street that was like Zhou Wu today…”
