240: Chapter 240: Situ Nan’s Father Arrives 240: Chapter 240: Situ Nan’s Father Arrives On the other side…
In a high-end private hospital in Zhonghai, it looked no different from an ordinary private hospital, except that it was much higher-specification.
Below, however, there was another world altogether.
Many people from the underworld, when they got into some trouble, got stabbed or shot, and couldn’t go to other hospitals, would come here.
Beneath this hospital, there were places that ordinary people couldn’t enter.
In the underground medical center, inside an intensive care unit, an elderly man lay on a hospital bed naked, his body full of tubes, with several advanced machines by his side, and an oxygen mask on his face.
This man’s body was charred black all over, unrecognizable.
At first glance, one couldn’t make out who he was.
“Sedatives, quickly!”
Several top doctors from the Magnesium Country, bustling around the bedside, had their foreheads covered in sweat, while the nurses around them prepared medical equipment, ready to rescue the person in the bed.
“The patient’s heart rate is weakening, get the pacemaker ready!”
The doctors and nurses were busy, doing their best to save the person on the bed.
Standing in the room, there was another person holding a Dragon Head Cane, appearing middle-aged but with skin and a face that seemed to be only in his early forties.
This man had a gloomy expression, his cold gaze watching the elder on the bed, yet it seemed as if he wasn’t looking at him, but at someone else.
His thoughts were drifting to a place unknown, his eyes gradually filled with resentment.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, his expression became even more ferocious, and the totem tattoo on his left face, trembling with his facial movement, became particularly ghastly at that moment.
With the terrifying totem tattoo, the man’s visage was especially gruesome.
He snorted heavily, coldly.
“Save him with all your might!” His words were like a royal decree, putting enormous pressure on the surrounding physicians.
This man was none other than Situ Nan’s father, Situ Yuanhua!
He had secretly rushed back to Zhonghai, all for his son’s death.
He had to find the murderer and avenge his son.
Next to Situ Yuanhua stood the director of this high-end private hospital, his smooth face bearing a sycophantic smile, carefully watching him now, afraid that Situ Yuanhua would fly into a rage here.
“Family Head Situ, why don’t you rest outside first?
We have already prepared…”
“Hmm?”
The director hadn’t finished speaking, when Situ Yuanhua cut him off with a glance as terrifying as that of a fierce beast.
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Situ Yuanhua, the director obediently closed his mouth, not daring to provoke the man in front of him.
Others may have thought that Situ Yuanhua was just the Family Head of the Situ Family, but the director knew very well that this man’s business abroad was all in the grey industries, dealing with things like arms and ammunitions, with immense power and deep connections!
Who would dare to provoke such a grim reaper?
However, the gloom in Situ Yuanhua’s heart at this moment was unimaginable to anyone.
He had returned to the country for Situ Nan’s death and immediately begun investigating the true murderer.
Unfortunately, no matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find out who the killer of his son was.
“Can he still be saved?” Situ Yuanhua asked in a deep voice, his tone commanding respect, his voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in the director’s ears.
A subtle look flickered in the director’s eyes as he instinctively glanced at the elderly man on the bed.
“This…” The director showed a bitter smile, unsure whether to speak the truth.
This elderly man was the only clue in Situ Yuanhua’s investigation these past few days.
After Situ Nan was killed and the manor burned, his people found this guy by a little river near the villa, burned beyond recognition.
When this guy was found, he was barely alive, still breathing, but not only was he almost burned to a crisp, but also his abdomen had been pierced through, with many of his internal organs spilling out.
Thus, Situ Yuanhua had someone bring him here, found the best doctor, and used the most expensive equipment in an attempt to save this man.
“Speak!”
Situ Yuanhua slightly frowned, the totem on his left face becoming incredibly fierce once again.
Facing his terrifying aura, the hospital director felt a bitter taste in his heart, fear in his eyes, and trembled as he said, “You’d better be prepared!”
Hearing this, Situ Yuanhua snorted coldly, his gaze returning to the elder.
At that moment, the director, as if reprieved from a death sentence, let out a sigh of relief.
The elder was none other than Situ Nan’s capable bodyguard, known in Jianghu as Barefooted Di Sha!
When Ning Fan had set out to deal with Situ Nan, Barefooted Di Sha was gravely injured by him.
Ning Fan thought he was dead, probably burned to ashes in a great fire.
But unexpectedly, in the end, Situ Yuanhua still found him—this guy really had a stroke of good fortune.
Even so, Barefooted Di Sha was just hanging on by a thread, and his condition was very grim.
Even though Situ Yuanhua had gone to great lengths to bring in top-notch physicians and the best medical equipment, they still couldn’t pull him back from Ghost Gate Pass.
“I’m sorry, we’ve done all we can!”
A doctor shook his head with sweat on his forehead.
No matter how hard they tried to save him, facing such serious injuries of Barefooted Di Sha, they were not immortals, and were now completely helpless!
Situ Yuanhua didn’t speak, quietly watching the doctor remove the oxygen tubes one by one from the body of Barefooted Di Sha, who had been declared dead.
He was eerily quiet at this moment.
On a nearby machine, the heartbeat of Barefooted Di Sha slowly faded away.
The doctors brought a white cloth, ready to cover Barefooted Di Sha, sighing and shaking their heads.
“Family Head Situ, I’m sorry, we’ve done our utmost!” the director said at this moment, swallowing nervously, fearful as he looked at Situ Yuanhua.
The person Situ Yuanhua had entrusted them to save had not been revived, and he didn’t know what Situ Yuanhua would think afterward, but it was certain that their facility could not bear the brunt of this ruthless man’s fury.
“Wait a moment!”
Just then, Situ Yuanhua suddenly raised his hand, squinting his eyes.
Just now, he thought he saw Barefooted Di Sha struggle faintly—was that horribly disfigured mouth trying to move?
The ICU fell deathly quiet all of a sudden, everyone tensely watching Situ Yuanhua, frozen in place.
Situ Yuanhua walked over to Barefooted Di Sha with his Dragon Head Cane, and eventually bent down to put his ear to the scarcely breathing Barefooted Di Sha’s quivering lips.
“Nine…
Ninth Master…
it’s Jianghu…
Ninth Master…”
Barefooted Di Sha’s mouth kept muttering the name “Ninth Master,” as Situ Yuanhua’s eyes widened, revealing a terrifying chill in them.
Meanwhile, Barefooted Di Sha’s head tilted, passing away with full-hearted hatred and resentment.
Situ Yuanhua’s expression twitched slightly as he looked at the now motionless body, making everyone involuntarily swallow.
All of a sudden, an evil energy filled the entire ICU, and everyone’s breath caught in their throats, fearfully watching Situ Yuanhua.
“Ninth Master?” There was a terrifying intent to kill in Situ Yuanhua’s voice.
“Ninth Master, I’d like to see who you truly are!”
He was determined to find out, who exactly was this Ninth Master that had killed his son!
