Chapter 35 Good News

After the game against Southampton, more good news came. Decula helped Phil Gibbs's parents contact the hospital and completed all the transfer procedures. On the day of the game, Phil Gibbs was flown back to England.

When the plane carrying him arrived at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool, dozens of media outlets and hundreds of fans had been waiting for a long time.

Under the media's hype, Phil Gibbs had become a hero defending the honor of Liverpool Football Club. This previously unknown young man even had his own supporters.

However, these supporters did not see their idol. The hospital ambulance drove directly onto the airport tarmac. As soon as the plane landed, Phil Gibbs was carried off the plane by special personnel into the ambulance and sped away.

Only Decula came out to meet the media and fans.

"Phil's condition is good, and I think he will slowly recover in England. He asked me to send his greetings to you and thank you for your concern and support, but his current situation is not convenient for interviews and visits, so I'm sorry..."

As Chen Hero's agent, Decula had appeared in front of the media many times, but he was not very well-known. It was only recently, as Phil Gibbs's spokesperson, that he had been appearing in public, which made him more famous.

Decula said that Phil Gibbs was not convenient for interviews and visits, which was for ordinary people.

This did not apply to Chen Hero.

He planned to visit Phil Gibbs after the game.

Gerrard stopped him. "Hero, I'll go too."

As Liverpool's captain, as Liverpool's spiritual leader, as a member of a Hillsborough disaster victim's family, Gerrard had to visit this brave fan.

Chen Hero didn't mind.

In fact, when the news of Phil Gibbs's injury came out, it had already been discussed within the Liverpool team. Before Chen Hero publicly supported Phil Gibbs, he had told his teammates the story of Phil Gibbs and himself. He guaranteed with his championship that Phil Gibbs was definitely not a football hooligan as the Turkish media claimed.

So the Liverpool team supported Phil Gibbs.

Everyone was also very concerned about this innocent fan.

Many people had suggested that if Phil Gibbs was transferred to Liverpool, they would all go to visit him.

But Chen Hero felt that it was not good, because if too many people went, it would disturb Phil Gibbs's rest and may also interfere with his treatment and recovery.

If they had to go, then Chen Hero should be the representative. Anyway, he and Phil Gibbs were the most familiar in the Liverpool team.

Since Gerrard also offered to go, it was just one more person, which wouldn't be a disturbance.

Chen Hero nodded.

The two drove directly from Anfield Stadium to the hospital and were blocked by the media outside.

Countless microphones and recorders were thrust at them.

In the end, Decula came to their rescue. He blocked the door and accepted interviews with reporters, while Chen Hero and Gerrard took the opportunity to escape the reporters and found the ward.

Their timing was bad; Phil Gibbs had fallen into a coma again. So the two only communicated with Gibbs's parents.

Gibbs's parents were excited and happy to see Liverpool's two biggest stars come to visit their son.

Now that their son was out of danger and had been transferred from Turkey to Liverpool, they felt much more relaxed. The two kept thanking Chen Hero for his help. That's right, all these things were handled by Chen Hero's agent, Decula. They hardly did anything in the whole process, just guarding their child.

In their opinion, Chen Hero's agent should be very busy, but Chen Hero had his agent accompany them for three or four days, and he had been by their side, providing assistance at any time. This made the two of them very moved.

Chen Hero didn't think it was a big deal. "Phil helped me once, when I needed help the most. We Chinese people pay back a debt of gratitude many times over. He helped me, so naturally I will help him. It's nothing. As a person, you have to be loyal, ha!"

Gerrard also comforted Phil Gibbs's parents as Liverpool's captain, telling them that if they needed any help, they could also look for him. Gerrard was a native of Liverpool and had played for Liverpool for so many years, so he knew a lot of people in this city.

In order not to disturb Phil Gibbs's rest, the two did not stay in the ward for long. They gave Phil Gibbs's parents a Liverpool jersey signed by all the Liverpool players and coaches. The back of the jersey was printed with Phil Gibbs's name, and his parents would give the jersey to Gibbs when he woke up. It was also a thank you and concern for Gibbs.

After giving the gift, the two players planned to leave.

As soon as they walked out of the ward, they saw two other acquaintances in the corridor.

Tom Jackson and Adam Smith had come to the hospital from home to visit their best friend. They didn't expect to meet Chen Hero and Gerrard here.

Both were a little surprised, then delighted.

Chen Hero was also quite surprised to meet the two of them at this time.

But he happened to have something to ask them. He wanted to ask about everything that happened that night, the more details the better, he wanted to know what the Turks had done.

This was related to his revenge.

But now was naturally not a good place to talk.

Chen Hero left his cell phone number to the two of them and left with Gerrard.

The two of them were focused on their good friend and had no interest in asking the two biggest stars in Liverpool for autographs.

※※※

Coming out of the hospital, the two were not in a good mood. Chen Hero was focused on revenge and was considering how to get revenge.

Gerrard was frightened. Phil Gibbs had twenty stab wounds, although they had been stitched up, they were still shocking to look at.

He could imagine how terrible it was at the time.

He felt very uncomfortable.

His team's fans went to the away game to support them, but they encountered such a result. Although he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, Gerrard felt very guilty.

"There are two knives near the heart... they clearly wanted to kill Phil," Gerrard murmured. "How much hatred did they have to be such murderers?"

Hearing Gerrard's murmur, Chen Hero snorted.

"They want to kill Phil, then we'll kill Besiktas!"

※※※

After Chen Hero sent Gerrard away, he received a call from Tom, who couldn't wait to tell Chen Hero what had happened that night. His intuition told him that the person in front of him could avenge them.

Chen Hero took them to his home and listened to them tell in detail everything that had happened that night.

Throughout the process, Chen Hero's fist never loosened. By the time Tom finished speaking, his fingers were numb...

But he still slammed his fist on the table.

"Fucking hell!" A Chinese swear word blurted out.

What Tom said was completely different from what the Turkish media said. Chen Hero did not believe that Phil Gibbs was a football hooligan, because he had contact with Gibbs, but he could not guarantee that there was not a single football hooligan among so many Liverpool fans. But after listening to Tom, he realized how shameless the Turkish media was. None of the dozen or so Liverpool fans at that time were football hooligans! The Turkish media just based on their imagination and put such a big hat of "football hooligan" on their heads. Because of this hat, the dozen or so Liverpool fans were deported and registered on the Turkish police's blacklist. In the future, as long as Liverpool's team played in Turkey, they would not be allowed to enter the country. Even if they flew to Turkey, they would be stopped at the airport and forcibly repatriated.

From beginning to end, Besiktas fans provoked them, and Liverpool fans maintained the greatest degree of restraint. But there is an emotion called "enough is enough," also called "when forbearance is exhausted, there is no need to endure any longer." When Besiktas fans used the Hillsborough incident to provoke Liverpool fans, stabbing knives into the hearts of Liverpool fans, then there was really no need to endure any longer.

Chen Hero was not Gerrard, but he had been playing for Liverpool for more than a season, and now the owner of Liverpool was his friend, so he still had some feelings for Liverpool. Last year, he and his teammates participated in the memorial activities on the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. Naturally, he knew very well what kind of status the word "Hillsborough" occupied in the hearts of Liverpool fans.

Chen Hero didn't care if Besiktas fans cursed at him, because for him, any attack from the enemy could only show that they were afraid of him. This was his pride, his honor, and he was not afraid of their insults.

But using Hillsborough to provoke Liverpool fans was unacceptable.

Tom was still very guilty in the end, because if he hadn't acted impulsively and rushed up to punch someone, causing a conflict, maybe Phil Gibbs wouldn't have had such an experience.

Chen Hero patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Some things are beyond your control, such as emotions, Tom. I am also a very impulsive person, although I have been trying to change, but to be honest, it is very difficult. Don't take this matter to heart. We Chinese have a saying that is very good: 'Surviving a great disaster is a harbinger of good fortune.' Phil didn't die, so there will be good fortune, and so will you."

Adam Smith interjected, "Is being invited to your house, Hero, considered good fortune?"

Chen Hero was amused. It seemed right to understand it this way...

When sending Tom and Adam away, Chen Hero said to them at the door: "Don't worry, Phil will slowly get better. On the day of the game in midweek, I hope you can go to the stadium and witness me avenge you!"

Tom clenched his fist and said to him: "Give Besiktas a good lesson for us!"

Adam also said: "Be sure to score more goals!"

Chen Hero nodded: "Don't worry. I will let them know what the consequences will be for treating Liverpool and Liverpool fans like this!"
