Chapter 616 - Twisting Right and Wrong

Su Tao had just searched the room, and when he entered again, he did not find anything that caught his attention.

Chen Guang followed closely behind and yelled, “Yuxiu! Yuxiu! Where are you? Daddy\'s here!”

Standing to the side, Su Tao nodded his head. For Chen Guang to call out to his daughter, she would be able to forget her fear and might respond. Just as they expected, knocking sounds rang out so Su Tao placed his finger by his lips, signaling for Chen Guang not to speak. Thereafter, Su Tao placed his ear by the floor with his fingers knocking on the marble floor. Soon, he found a hollow before he gave it a try and easily removed the tile.

No one had imagined that Medusa would hide the girl beneath the floor. The floor was tightly sealed, and if they were a few minutes later, the girl would’ve suffocated. Once Su Tao immediately carried the girl out, he stopped Chen Guang’s approach. “I’m a physician!”

Hearing that, Chen Guang withdrew his hands and replied, “I’ll hand her over to you!”

Although the two of them only briefly interacted, Su Tao had won Chen Guang’s trust. If it wasn’t for Su Tao, who descended from the sky like an angel, his daughter would definitely be in danger. As a result, his family would definitely break apart with unimaginable consequences. In Chen Guang’s heart, Su Tao was the savior of his entire family.

Placing the girl on the bed, Su Tao carefully removed the tape on her mouth before he got rid of the restrictions. Due to the lack of oxygen, she’s currently unconscious. Su Tao took her pulse. She’s currently suffering from shock due to the lack of blood, but her life was in no danger for the time being. Although they came in a hurry, he did not forget his medical box. After taking a piece of Ginseng out, he placed it beneath her tongue. A few breaths later, the girl gradually opened her eyes.

Seeing that his daughter had regained her consciousness, Chen Guang immediately rejoiced and held onto her hand, “Xiuxiu, you’re fine now!”

“Daddy, I knew that you would come to save me.” The girl sweetly smiled.

Watching this scene from the side, Su Tao was touched. Although the father and daughter did not speak much, the exchange of feelings between them was genuine which made Su Tao inwardly sigh. The scene of a father and daughter who had just experienced a crisis was genuinely touching.

“Su... Benefactor!” Chen Guang suddenly had no idea how to address Su Tao and asked, “Is my daughter fine?”

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao glanced at her thigh and explained, “An artery was cut on her thigh, so this is the reason why she’s constantly bleeding. If we came an hour later, she would be in danger.”

Truth be told, if it was some other doctor here, she would be in a serious condition. However, the slice of Ginseng that Su Tao fed her helped her regain her consciousness.

Not giving much explanation to Chen Guang, Su Tao said, “I’ll dress her wounds. Why don’t you wait outside?”

Chen Guang only briefly hesitated before he left the room and closed the door behind him. He had researched Su Tao, and this was a formidable physician. He had once created numerous miracles in the medical industry. If Su Tao couldn’t save his daughter, then there wouldn’t be many in the world who could save her.

It’s mainly because of what they went through, in which Su Tao built up a trust in Chen Guang’s heart.

Suddenly, a clamor rang out, and a bunch of people appeared, all of them wearing black uniforms. After the sudden clash of violence in Pagoda Street, Bassoon’s team had already left, leaving ten-odd African men lying on the ground. Most of them were suffering from severe fractures, and none of them could stand on their feet.

“What’s the situation?” The one leading the team was Deng Feng. He received an order and immediately rushed here. Since it was a case of violence that involved dozens of African men, he had to bring a big team over. Deng Feng was a mercenary in the past, and after returning to the country, he established a security company. He often received special missions, and he was also here because he had received a special order.

“There’s no more commotion!” One of his team members reported and continued, “According to eyewitnesses, the attackers have entered that building.”

Listening to the report, Deng Feng bitterly smiled while feeling complicated. He had long heard rumors about the African triads since they often threatened the livelihood of citizens in the city. Even the police wanted to bring this area under permanent control numerous times, but the government rejected them. Firstly, the Africans had already become part of Pagoda City, and this also involved foreign affairs. If the police were mobilised to touch these African men, it would show that the city did not have any tolerance for foreign races.

China had been supporting several countries in Africa, spending lots of resources in the process. However, there’s a possibility that it might be ruined because of this incident. Over the years, China’s settings in Africa already had an initial result. Those enterprises that invested and constructed in Africa have gained impressive profits.

Befriending Africa had become China’s strategic planning.

As Deng Feng fell into a brief silence, he looked around. What he saw was injuries and blood, and this was a severe matter in Yangcheng City. It’s not an overestimation even if they call this incident a terrorist attack.

“Judging from the situation here, the other party is extremely brutal. Although there are no signs of firearms used, they’re proficient in cold weapons. Get a team of five to scout. Remember to pay attention to safety.” Deng Feng ordered.

“Roger!” The team member swiftly organised a team of five upon receiving the order and they sneaked towards the building.

All of them have undergone professional training. Two of them entered through the stairs, while three others climbed the water pipes. However, they did not experience any intense retaliation.

When Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei saw someone coming over, they immediately raised their hands and yelled, “We’re the good guys!”

However, the two of them didn’t know that this bunch of people weren’t the real thing.

One man waved his baton in their direction, which two others charged over and pinned them against the wall, conducting a body search in the process.

The knife that Liu Jianwei wielded earlier had already been thrown away, and he only had a nail clipper in his pocket. As for Xia Yu, he had more stuff on him. Aside from a micro camera, he also had a few unknown medicinal bottles on him.

At this moment, Chen Guang rushed over and tried his best to explain, “Comrade, this is a misunderstanding. Don’t catch the wrong guys; the ones lying on the ground are the bad ones!”

However, they did not believe in his words since Medusa had been tied up. Furthermore, she even looked to be quite heavily injured. As for Liu Jianwei and Xia Yu, the two of them didn’t seem to be good guys from their looks.

“Take them away!” One of them ordered and continued, “Conduct a serious investigation!”

When he finished, another person came over and restrained Chen Guang as well.

Instantly, Chen Guang was speechless. However, he was relieved since his daughter was safe now.

Su Tao made use of the time to clean up Chen Yuxiu’s injury, applying his exclusive medicine, and even used needles to stitch up her wounds. If an ordinary surgeon was to do this, they would require at least forty to fifty minutes. However, Su Tao only took fifteen minutes. So when someone barged in, he had already finished. Facing the military dagger pointed at him, he raised his hands and said, “The girl has just received treatment, so it’s best to bring her away in a stretcher.”

Watching this scene, the group of people were stunned. Facing such a harmless ‘criminal’ like Su Tao, they couldn’t flare up their ferocity.

When Deng Feng saw the team escorting several people out without facing too much resistance, he inwardly sighed. At the same time, his intuition told him that there’s something to the story.

At this moment, a robust man rushed over and yelled, “I’m Zhang Zhen. I’m the Second Team’s Captain in the Criminal Police Division of Hanzhou City’s Police Department.”

Nodding his head, Deng Feng instructed, “Let him through!”

When Zhang Zhen came over, he tried his best to control his breathing and explained, “I’m currently investigating a criminal case. Not long ago, a murder took place in Hanzhou City’s Brocade Lake Hotel. The suspect is a woman, and I chased her to Nanyue Province.”

“What has that got to do with the current situation?” Deng Feng was baffled.

“I’m acquainted with the few people that you arrested. One of them is a famous physician from the Three Flavour Hall, and he’s currently assisting me in the case.” Zhang Zhen bitterly smiled.

“What famous physician?” Deng Feng waved his hand in annoyance and replied, “This is Yangcheng City, not your Hanzhou City. You have no right to talk here!”

Facing Deng Feng’s attitude, Zhang Zhen was speechless.

“Take them away!” Deng Feng glared at Zhang Zhen before he boarded the car.

Su Tao naturally saw Zhang Zhen, who was trying to help him resolve this situation. But judging from Yangcheng City’s attitude, they weren’t cooperative. However, there’s nothing he could do about this situation. Every province had its own politics, especially the public security system, where they had a stronger territorial sense.

In the end, Zhang Zhen could only give a call to Jiang Qinghan and explain the situation to her.

Hearing his explanation, Jiang Qinghan briefly pondered before she weakly sighed, “I will inform Bureau Chief Mei about this situation!”

Thereafter, she gave a call to Mei Dongcheng to report on the current situation.

It took a while before Mei Dongcheng realised what was going on and said in a concerned tone, “Su Tao was a little too rash this time to go to Yangcheng City. That’s the provincial city of Nanyue Province, and even I can’t do much to help him. I’ll try and ask someone to see if they can sort it out.”

Hearing Mei Dongcheng’s words, Jiang Qinghan’s heart went cold. She knew that Su Tao had caused a din in Yangcheng City, and it wouldn’t be easy for him to be free. Hence, she hesitated for a long time before she gave a call to Shu Haonan.

When Shu Haonan saw that it was a call from Jiang Qinghan, he wanted to pick it up immediately. However, his fiancée, Gu Yang, saw it and immediately snatched his phone from him and answered the call, “Hello? Qinghan? Haonan is currently showering, is there anything I can do for you?”

If it was someone else, Jiang Qinghan would definitely hang up the phone. But for Su Tao, she could only toughen her scalp and asked, “I would like to ask him for help. Can you pass the phone to him?”

“Is it urgent? If it’s not, can you call back later?” Gu Yang smiled as she glanced at her fiancé. Seeing his expression, she felt smug.

Shu Haonan would soon have an opportunity to be promoted, so he could only endure Gu Yang’s behavior.

“Forget it, then!” Jiang Qinghan was an understanding woman. She could tell from the tone in Gu Yang’s voice that it wouldn’t be easy for her to call Shu Haonan for help.

After staring at her phone for a long time, Jiang Qinghan finally knew how important Su Tao was to her at this moment.
