Chapter 713: No one will hate you
As Xu Cheng and Lin Dong left the funeral home, they didn’t notice the old man with silvery white hair watching them from the darkness.
– Midnight –
Inside the operating theatre of a public hospital.
Xu Cheng and Lin Dong got in through the window and placed Lin Chuxue’s body on the operating table.
Xu Cheng and Lin Dong looked around and saw that there was a complete set of surgical equipment.
However.
Lin Dong looked at Xu Cheng and said, “Master, there is only equipment here but no drugs; how can we operate without anesthesia?”
“It’s fine,” Xu Cheng said.
Lin Dong got anxious. “But…”
“Without the anesthesia is fine. Come on, don’t drag it on, I’m afraid that Little Xue’s RBC genes will die, it can’t be delayed any longer.” Xu Cheng said affirmatively as he smoothed Lin Chuxue’s messy hair, revealing her beautiful and delicate face.
He smiled: “Little Xue, I will try to save you by any means, no matter how.”
Having said that, he performed the operation on Lin Chuxue by himself. He found multiple needles and implanted them into Lin Chuxue’s head and several blood vessels one by one, and then he connected the tubes into a single syringe placed on another bed.
After Xu Cheng laid down, he looked at the ceiling and sighed. “The blood vessels around my heart are where the Tardigrade genes are. Come over here and transfuse the blood here into Little Xue’s head to see if the necrotic cells can be repaired or not. Did you give her the gene strengthening drug yet?”
Lin Dong nodded. “Chekhov had done it at the beginning. Although her genes were enhanced, her brain was still necrotic, so he declared her dead.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Let’s try it then.”
Lin Dong gulped. “Master, are you sure about this? Excessive blood loss from this area of the heart can be fatal!”
“That can’t be helped, the tardigrade genes are all densely packed in here, so come on! Take it!” Xu Cheng said.
Lin Dong went over to his side. First, he avoided where his heart was beneath his chest. Xu Cheng had X-ray vision so he had already drawn out the position of his heart on his chest. That way, Lin Dong could work better.
Lin Dong sat beside him and took out a large syringe similar to those used to give injections to livestock, he hesitated again and asked. “Master, you really want to insert this?”
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth. “It’s fine, come on! How many times in the past have I survived life-and-death situations, I can endure this.”
Lin Dong frowned.
“Come on!” Xu Cheng said in a deep voice, “Don’t be a p*ssy. You’re not a high school student anymore!”
Lin Dong gritted his teeth and inserted the syringe directly into the area next to Xu Cheng’s heart!
Urgh!
Xu Cheng’s body bounced up in shock from the heartbreaking pain, and veins popped out on his neck. His whole face was hideously red, and he let out a deep low roar, but Xu Cheng quickly used his extraordinary willpower to suppress this pain.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Release it!”
Lin Dong hurriedly twisted the syringe open, and Xu Cheng’s blood immediately flowed from the syringe towards Lin Chuxue’s head.
Lin Dong looked at Xu Cheng and asked with concern, “Master, if it doesn’t work, just stop.”
“It’s fine!” Xu Cheng said he was fine but Lin Dong could see his big drops of sweat on his forehead, and his lips were a little pale. After all, such an incision to withdraw blood next to the heart would cause an average person to die of shock by now.
Xu Cheng immediately looked at Lin Chuxue on the other bed, and all his pain vanished after he saw her beautiful profile.
He reached out to take Lin Chuxue’s hand in his and just held on, with his X-ray vision piercing through to see if there was any movement in her head.
Lin Dong looked at this scene, and did not know what to say or do. He wondered if there was really the so-called true love in this materialistic world.
In his eyes, he thought that love, even family love, would’ve been crushed before money and reality, so the so-called true love can also be bought out with money. But today, he saw a different kind of love, and if it was him in that bed today, he would actually not be so crazy and hysterical to save the other person. He didn’t know what this childhood sweetheart relationship between Xu Cheng and his wife was, but he felt that it must have been something beautiful.
The blood was still being delivered.
Xu Cheng’s lips began to pale as he said, “You got a cigarette?”
Lin Dong: “Master, the smoke will infect your wife’s wounds, it’s not good to smoke here.”
“Oh, right, I forgot. I won’t smoke it then,” Xu Cheng said.
Lin Dong: “Master, if you are really in pain, you can have one.”
He could tell that Xu Cheng was really in pain and wanted to distract himself.
Xu Cheng shook his head trying to divert his attention, and he looked at Lin Dong as he said, “Little Dong, Master feels sorry to you, and sorry to those brothers.”
“You don’t have to feel sorry for anyone.” Lin Dong massaged Xu Cheng’s hands and feet for fear that Xu Cheng would bleed too much and his whole body would become numb and cold as he said, “Our brothers all volunteered to become mutants, and everyone understood that there are thing we need to sacrifice in order to survive and to become stronger. You have not wronged us, but rather that the others are grateful for what you’ve offered them.”
“And you?” Xu Cheng looked at him and asked, “Do you hate me for not teaching you anything?”
Lin Dong shook his head. “No! You have taught me a lot. You have torn open the other side of this world for me, and helped me understand the dark side of this world. I always felt that you had become apathetic from all the killing, but today I know that you’re more real than the hypocrites filling this world. You’re alive with feelings. As your disciple, I have access to all your social connections and networks, which were not available to the young and rebellious Lin Dong in the past. Master, I don’t regret taking you as my master!”
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly and sighed. “You don’t have much talent. It’s not that I don’t want to teach you, but the Shadow Fist itself was very obscure and hard to understand, and I had no way of knowing where to begin teaching you. Sometimes, it takes that person themself to understand it over time.”
“I understand.” Lin Dong said, “Neither your brothers Luo Yi nor Li Wei learnt it from you so I knew that it must not be easy for someone to learn this martial art.”
At this point, Lin Dong smiled bitterly. “I’m worried that Luo Yi and Li Wei would pass out from anger if they knew you’re doing this, Master.”
“Then don’t tell them.” Xu Cheng chuckled. “If I survive, then I’ll go and apologize to the brothers.”
“I’ll take your words for it.” Lin Dong smiled. “I’ve already told my parents that I’d be busy for three years. Haven’t you accomplished your dream and goals? The Deviant Corp will definitely accomplish what you set out to accomplish!”
