Chapter 1219 – You are a civil servant?!
Noon.
In a commercial district.
Inside an inconspicuous hotel.
With a slight dent on its rear bumper, the Mercedes stopped by the roadside. They got off and entered the hotel to book a suite.
It was Shen Xiaoyan who strongly insisted. The Mercedes was damaged, and handling the paperwork with the hotel would be troublesome. It would also attract the Police’s attention. That group of people seemed to have connections with the Police. Although they are not afraid of them, it is better to avoid these troubles. After all, they had not started on their mission and could not be exposed. Another reason is this commercial district is crowded, and those people after them would not dare to come after them openly. It will not be easy for them to find their new location too.
Upstairs.
Inside the suite.
The four of them entered.
Dong Xuebing was last because of his injuries. His brows were knitted, but he smiled as if nothing had happened.
The door closed.
“How are you, Xiao Dong?” Zhang Longjuan looked at him.
“I am fine.” Dong Xuebing replied.
“Are you in pain? I can tell from your expression.” Zhang Longjuan asked.
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “I am fine. Maybe I am a bit tired from traveling around this morning.”
The next moment, Zhang Longjuan and the twins saw blood soaking up Dong Xuebing’s shirt.
Zhang Longjuan walked over quickly. “You call this fine?”
Dong Xuebing looked down. “Maybe I had torn my wound slightly. It is a minor injury. Don’t worry.” He had not only broken his bones. He also had stitches all over his body. He had been running about since last afternoon and did not sleep much. He had been out this morning and even drove. It is not a surprise that his injuries were aggravated.
Shen Xiaomei looked at Dong Xuebing and grumbled. “You are injured to this extent and still insist on driving. Who can you blame?”
Shen Xiaoyan interrupted her sister. “Enough, Sis.”
Dong Xuebing was still bleeding. His shirt was stained red.
Shen Xiaomei kept quiet. She has more bark than bite. She walked over and made Dong Xuebing sit on the couch. She unbuttoned his shirt and threw it aside. Shen Xiaomei and Shen Xiaoyan were shocked by his injuries. They saw three injuries with stitches, and many other areas, like his shoulders and stomach, had scabs. Those injuries were not fully healed.
Zhang Longjuan scolded Dong Xuebing. “I thought you had only broken your arm and had fractured your leg. How did you get injured so severely?”
Zhang Longjuan and the twins finally discovered the severity of Dong Xuebing’s injuries. Zhang Longjuan was touched, and the twins started to respect him.
What determination is this?
How did he endure it?
They know it would be painful even if Dong Xuebing sat there without moving. He was in pain all this while. No normal person can endure it. Even the twins who were professionally trained cannot endure it.
Dong Xuebing smiled and did not say anything.
Dong Xuebing’s injuries hurt, and he had endured them for the past few days. However, he is different. This pain is nothing to him. All his wounds were treated and bandaged, and it is nothing compared to getting shot, catching people falling from the sixth story, and holding up a one-ton wall for ten minutes.
Dong Xuebing had gotten used to this pain.
Oh, it should be numbed to such pain.
“You should not come.” Zhang Longjuan looked at Dong Xuebing.
“How can I not come when you are in trouble?” Dong Xuebing replied.
“Did you pull open your wound when you drove?” Zhang Longjuan asked.
“Maybe. I will be fine after putting some pressure to stop the bleeding.” Dong Xuebing moved his hand to press on his wound.
Shen Xiaoyan quickly stopped him. “Your wound is too big, and you will not stop the bleeding.” She turned to her sister. “Go and buy medicine, threads, and needles.”
Shen Xiaomei hesitated. “But Ms. Zhhang…”
Shen Xiaoyan said. “I am around. Go and come back quickly.”
Zhang Longjuan added. “Go ahead. We will bring Xiao Dong to the hospital if the bleeding does not stop.”
Dong Xuebing said. “Don’t need to send me to the hospital. I will be fine after stitching the wound. This is nothing.”
Shen Xiaomei was speechless. How is this nothing? They should be in the hospital for months if they sustained such injuries.
“Go quickly, Sis.”
“I will be right back.”
“Be careful. Those people had targeted us and will not let us off after we caused their truck to flip.”
“I know.”
Shen Xiaomei went out to buy a first-aid box.
Zhang Longjuan and Shen Xiaoyan tried many ways to stop Dong Xuebing’s bleeding.
Dong Xuebing said. “Thank you, Sis Zhang, Sis Yan.”
Zhang Longjuan replied. “I should be thanking you. You should not have come to protect me with such injuries. Sigh… I made you worry.”
“What are you saying? This is what I should do.”
“No. I will not forget this and will treat you well in the future.”
“Huh? Don’t…” Dong Xuebing coughed and said.
“Haha… you are scared. What can I do to you?” Zhang Longjuan smiled sexily and continued to wipe his blood with the bandages.
Shen Xiaoyan pressed Dong Xuebing’s two acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. She got curious. “What are you working as, Xiao Dong?”
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Civil servant.”
Shen Xiaoyan was shocked. “Are civil servants so bold?”
Dong Xuebing was speechless. “Are you talking about driving? Who says civil servants are timid?”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “This guy has always been bold. We can get back safely because of him today.”
Shen Xiaoyan had to admit Dong Xuebing was bold. He could remain calm and dared to crash their car into that truck. Not many people dare to do that.”
But… a civil servant?
Shen Xiaoyan was speechless.
How did a civil servant, who works in an office environment, scare away those gangsters?
When did civil servants become more ruthless than those outlaws?
