Chapter 50: Revenge (1/2)

– Evening –

Xu Cheng wasn’t on motorcycle patrol tonight but was instead driving a cruiser. It was probably because the instructor was worried that he would get ambushed.

However, just about half an hour into his shift, he heard a colleague cry out on the radio, “Old Wang got beat up.”

“Where?”

“At North Gate’s territory.”

Xu Cheng immediately turned around and sped towards the area.

After coming to the scene, he saw a couple of patrol motorcycles had already parked on the side of the road, and three of his colleagues were helping another one up.

“Get him to the hospital first, hurry!” Xu Cheng took him into the car, and then they drove to the nearest hospital.

After arriving at the hospital, Old Wang had his entire head and body wrapped up.

The doctor then said to Xu Cheng and the others, “There are many fractures all over his body, and due to the injury on his spine, he might need to stay in the hospital for a bit so we can keep a watch on it. The injuries are pretty serious.”

Xu Cheng frowned, and he asked the other colleague that was patrolling with Old Wang, “What happened?”

That colleague was also quite dumbfounded by this turn of events. “I don’t know, we just saw two women arguing in an alley, and Old Wang went over to help diffuse the situation. But who knew that a couple of guys would just run out from the alley and claim that Old Wang was harassing their girlfriend. Then, they beat him up without a second word. I called in other colleagues around the area and they only left after our backup arrived…”

“They really don’t respect the law!” Xu Cheng gritted his teeth.

At this moment, another colleague seemed to be hesitating about whether he should voice his opinion. “Brother Cheng, I think this might have something to do with you…”

Xu Cheng looked at him, a bit confused.

“Old Wang was driving the motorcycle you were driving for the past few days…” That colleague decided to just say it. “But maybe I’m overthinking this.”

He wasn’t. They probably were coming after Xu Cheng.

“Those bastards.”

Xu Cheng angrily pushed open the ward and went in to ask Old Wang, “Did you get a look at the people that beat you up?”

Old Wang resembled a mummy right now. He lifted his head and said to Xu Cheng, “Brother Cheng, just let this go. Whether it was directed at you or not, it already happened, and I will just take it. If they don’t come and look for trouble with you later on, then let’s just let this go.”

In fact, Old Wang knew how to be careful and to not offend anyone, so there must have been a reason that he was beaten. It was also because he heard those guys say before they left, “Remember this lesson and don’t offend people that you can’t afford to offend.”

With Old Wang’s low-key temper, he knew that these guys must have gotten the wrong guy because he rarely offended people.

Xu Cheng didn’t speak, but the temper he had as a soldier obviously meant that he wouldn’t let this go easily.

“Are these people from North Gate?” Xu Cheng asked.

Old Wang didn’t say anything. Looking at Xu Cheng and seeing the determined expression on his face, he silently nodded. “If the four gates could die, they would’ve died a long time ago. You don’t have much power, so you won’t be able to play with them.”
