Chapter 1475: What To Do

Brother Wolf and the others were also confused. They quickly asked the nurse, “Excuse me, where is Mr. Hans Fox? It was a gentleman who had been stabbed in the stomach. Hadn’t he been in the operating room?”
The nurse said, “Oh, that gentleman was already sent to the recovery ward. His family members were here, they accompanied him to the ward.”
Li Du was overjoyed, and a tsunami of joy relief over him, making him suddenly full of strength again.
He shook off Firecracker and Young Markelov, who were holding him, and asked anxiously, “Do you know which ward he is in? He’s going to be alright, isn’t he? He’s going to recover?”
The nurse nodded. “The knife stabbed the spleen, but the bleeding stopped in time. Nothing happened. He will be just fine.”
Li Du felt happier than he had ever felt in his life.
However, the person beside him was not happy. Someone mercilessly pushed him and roared, “Go away! What are you doing here? What does this have to do with you? Are you the truck driver? Who is that bastard?”
Young Markelov was about to get angry, but Li Du interfered and bowed in apology repeatedly. “Sorry, I’m truly sorry, I am not the truck driver, we are also a patient’s family. I apologize for the misunderstanding, we’ll leave now…”
For an instant, he felt no pain in his ankle, so he walked energetically.
His phone rang again. It was Sophie.
Knowing that Hans was all right, Li Du answered the phone. As soon as Sophie got through, she asked him in a hurry, “Hello, Li? Is that you, Li? What’s going on? Why didn’t you answer the phone? How are you? What has happened to you?”
Li Du said, “I’m fine, I just sprained my ankle.”
“And where are you? How did Big Fox get stabbed? Come to the ward quickly. God, you just kept missing my calls, I thought you got into something!” Sophie’s voice was worried and urgent.
The transition between great sorrow and great joy was so fast that Li Du went from despair to elation. With a quick turn of emotion, he laughed. “Tell me the ward number and I’ll be right there!”
He hurried into the ward, where Hans, recovering from a coma, was happily drinking sugar water under Barbara’s care.
When he saw Li Du, he almost hit him with the cup. “Hey, asshole, where have you been?”
When he saw that Hans was safe and sound, Li Du’s last worry disappeared.
He threw his arms around Hans and hugged him hard, saying excitedly, “That’s wonderful! You’re not dead! You’re not dead!”
Hans gasped. “F**k, f**k! It hurts! Let me go! Let me go!”
Barbara pulled him away. Sophie looked at the gauze and said, “No, he didn’t touch the wound.”
Hans cried, “It still f*cking hurts. Li, where have you been? I didn’t find you when I came out of the operation.”
Sophie said, “I called at least fifty times and you didn’t answer. We were worried about you.”
Li Du explained, “We were working with the police on the case. Oh, how did you know we were in the hospital?”
Barbara shook her cell phone and said, “I called Hans and a policeman answered. He told us about the situation. God, we were almost shocked to death!”
Hans grinned. “What are you afraid of? Don’t you know how fit I am? Being stabbed is nothing, I’d be fine even if I was shot!”
Li Du suddenly understood what was going on.
It was a coincidence that they had all gone after the black boy when Hans finished his operation and a second emergency case came through, following which Li Du had waited in vain outside the operating room for more than two hours.
Hans asked, “What’s wrong with your foot? Was is hurt when you kicked those little bastards?”
“Something like that…”
“The boss hurt himself when he kicked the wall,” Brother Wolf mercilessly revealed the truth. He, too, was relieved that Hans was fine.
Hans laughed and Sophie rolled her eyes.
Young Markelov wanted to clarify matters and told what happened to Li Du when he saw Brother Wolf was making fun of him. “We didn’t know your operation was over and waited outside the emergency operating room. After waiting for a long time, a failed operation was over, the nurse rolled out the dead body, and the boss nearly fainted…”
He told the story again, and Hans laughed so hard that his wound almost opened again, but Barbara laughed harder than he did.
Li Du stared at Yong Markelov, clenched his teeth and said, “I’ll take away your bonus this month!”
He looked at Barbara again. “You are laughing? Aren’t you worried about Big Fox?”
Barbara shrugged. “What’s to worry about? The doctor says he’s all right.”
Li Du had to be convinced that the girl is indeed careless.
Hans asked him what he had discovered, and Li Du told him the result of his investigation.
“You were just out of luck being with me. I offended a local gang, and that gang sent these teenagers to deal with me. You happened to be there, so they beat you up too…”
“How can you be such a troublemaker?” Hans shook his head.
Li Du showed him the middle finger when the two girls were not looking.
Hans was all right. The plan had changed. Li Du had planned to call Remonin and ask him to send a team of brave men to kill the murderers to avenge his friend.
He didn’t have to risk killing now. After all, American police were not rookies. This was not Africa. Killing was serious business, and he could easily find himself behind bars.
Hans didn’t think much of it. He laughed and said, “It was a funny episode in my life. Haha, it really was. I was stabbed, so you sprained your ankle and kneeled in front of a dead stranger. This is like a comedy, isn’t it?”
Li Du stared at him and said, “I’m glad you’re in a good mood, but this matter would not end that easily!”
News of their attack spread quickly, and the subway station was so crowded that no one helped to save them, but many people took pictures and posted them online.
Santa Monica was a small town, and any piece of major news would spread instantly. Before long, the treasure hunters knew all about it and came to visit, and Li Du’s phone was continuously ringing.
The first to call him was the Son of God and then the Ford brothers, Porter, Steve, and others. When Cole and other men from Harry Winston got the news, the phone rang nonstop.
He had to pass the phone to Sophie and let her deal with the calls. He had to sit quietly and think about what to do next.
Playboy Arcadio found him and handed him a menthol cigarette, which Li Du declined. Then he said, “This is dangerous. If the kids were bolder and brought a hunting rifle…”
The consequences would be unimaginable!
“What are you going to do?” Arcadio asked. “You know, I have some friends in that circle. I can help you with this matter if you need me.”
