Chapter 247
Chapter 247
Folks, who could possibly understand? Xiaoshuai had thought he was merely taking part in a horror mission. Who could have imagined that the true horror would be standing right beside him?!
Then someone suddenly told him that he alone could save the world.
Xiaoshuai raised his face toward the sky. It was the only way to keep his tears from falling.
His life had been too miserable. He had been born the scion of a great family, only to have his identity swapped. He joined the Illuminati and encountered Liu Ye. He became a superstar and got reported. He invested in real estate, and the economy turned sour. He finally reclaimed his identity, only to find the group on the verge of bankruptcy.
Just when he wanted to become a useless hanger-on at the Fiend Investigation Bureau, they demanded that he save the world.
Heavens, were they playing with him?
Xiaoshuai wiped the corners of his eyes. Miserable as his circumstances were, he still had to face them bravely. He looked beside him and saw the shrunken Liu Ye curiously examining their surroundings.
Liu Ye appeared to be seven or eight years old. That was precisely the age when children became despised by people and dogs alike.
When he noticed Xiaoshuai looking at him, he immediately flashed a sweet smile.
Xiaoshuai thought that perhaps Brother Liu had once been capable of ordinary communication.
“Brother Li-”
Smack!
Liu Ye slammed an enamel mug straight into his face.
Xiaoshuai fell silent.
Liu Ye gazed at him with excitement.
“Brother Liu, could you please stop throwing things around?”
Smack!
The moment he finished speaking, a slipper struck him in the face. It slowly slid away, revealing his blackened expression.
A huge throbbing vein appeared on Xiaoshuai’s forehead.
“Brother Liu, I’m warning you. Don’t push me!”
“Big brother, I was wrong.”
Liu Ye pouted his little lips, then held something out to Xiaoshuai.
“This is for you. Please forgive me!”
Xiaoshuai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Liu Ye listened, everything would be fine. He accepted the object and discovered that it was a piece of candy.
He peeled away the wrapper and was about to put it in his mouth when he saw a tiny land mine inside, its fuse already burning.
Xiaoshuai had no words.
“What the hell?!”
Boom!
The entire hospital shook several times beneath the explosion.
Inside the room, Xiaoshuai sat on the floor with his hair blown into a wild puff and his face charred black. When he opened his mouth, a plume of black smoke drifted out.
“Hahaha…” Liu Ye clutched his stomach and pointed at him, laughing wildly.
“I can’t take this anymore! Get over here!”
Whack! Thump! Smack!
After a burst of noise, Xiaoshuai relaxed with satisfaction. Brother Biao clutched his face, tears filling his eyes.
“He provoked you! Why did you hit me?”
“Because I can’t beat him!” Xiaoshuai replied with perfect confidence.
Brother Biao fell silent.
What a scumbag!
At that moment, the door opened and a tall man walked inside.
The name badge on his chest read DIRECTOR ZHAO.
The instant he saw Xiaoshuai, however, his eyes lit up.
“It’s over! Xu Fei is in danger.”
“Why?”
“I know that director. He’s an animal who specifically preys on attractive people in the hospital, regardless of whether they’re male or female.”
A comment drifted across the stream.
Xiaoshuai saw it too. A small screen floated before his eyes, allowing him to follow the situation online at any time.
“I see.”
Xiaoshuai was not particularly afraid. He had encountered far worse perverts in the Illuminati and had plenty of experience dealing with people like this.
“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zhao Xing, and I am the director of this hospital. I hold the highest authority here, so you had all better obey me. Understood?”
“No!”
A voice suddenly rang out. Director Zhao looked over coldly and discovered a tiny child.
He picked up the medical record and turned to Liu Ye’s page.
It stated that the child suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, and several other conditions. He was a severely ill patient who required close observation.
Director Zhao sneered contemptuously. Severely ill? How severe could he possibly be? His favorite patients were the severe cases.
He had originally intended to test Xiaoshuai first, but now he changed his mind.
“Take this brat away!”
“What are you planning?”
Xiaoshuai’s expression instantly changed.
“I don’t need to explain my actions to you. Stay here and wait for me like a good boy!”
A lecherous grin spread across Director Zhao’s face.
Then he called to the nurses.
“Nurses, take him away!”
No one answered.
Director Zhao frowned and turned around. Two nurses lay on the floor, foaming at the mouth, while Liu Ye brandished a stun gun he had acquired from somewhere.
Crackle!
Liu Ye excitedly waved the object in his hand.
“Put that down!”
“Playing doctor! Treating patients!”
Director Zhao wanted to approach but feared the stun gun in Liu Ye’s hand.
A vicious glint flashed through his eyes. He grabbed Brother Biao behind him and shoved him toward Liu Ye.
“Why me again?”
Crackle!
A moment later, Brother Biao collapsed to the floor, foaming at the mouth.
Director Zhao seized the opportunity to grab Liu Ye’s wrist.
“Give that to-”
Crack!
With a sharp snap, Director Zhao’s arm twisted through a full seven hundred and twenty degrees.
“Aaaagh!”
He clutched his arm and howled in agony.
The next instant, Liu Ye grabbed that same arm and slammed him hard into the floor.
Bang!
Then, as though driving a nail, Liu Ye repeatedly smashed Director Zhao against the ground from different angles, occasionally whirling him through the air several times.
After more than ten minutes, Liu Ye finally grew bored. With a whoosh, he hurled the man out the window.
Then he turned excitedly toward Xiaoshuai.
Xiaoshuai fell silent.
“Guys! Think of something! He’s set his sights on me!”
“Um… hang in there. He usually falls asleep after playing for three hours.”
“Three hours? I’d be lucky to last three minutes!”
“Three minutes? Brother Fei, isn’t that a little too…”
“Shocking! The reason a formerly famous celebrity never had a scandal has finally been exposed.”
“Kidney deficiency, back pain, listlessness? Please use…”
“Enough! Mute the one posting that advertisement! Why are you focusing on this at a time like this? Think of something! The survival of the entire world is at stake!” Xiaoshuai roared.
“Give him milk with sleeping pills mixed in! He’ll fall asleep after he drinks it!”
In the end, the Joyous Funeral Fiend proved reliable. She had been Liu Ye’s mother for so many years, after all. She had some experience dealing with him.
Xiaoshuai’s eyes lit up. He turned toward Xiao Long and Xiao Hu on the bed.
“Keep him occupied for me. I’ll be right back!”
Xiao Long and Xiao Hu fell silent.
You think far too highly of us! What are we supposed to use to keep him occupied-our lives?
“Um, Brother Liu, how about we play hide-and-seek?”
“Okay! I want to play hide-and-seek! I’ll be the ghost!”
With that, Liu Ye faced the wall.
Xiaoshuai seized the opportunity and fled outside.
