568: Chapter 557 568: Chapter 557 “You finally got out, I missed you to death after all these days without seeing you.” Li Tang was the first to greet him, hugging Song Yun tightly.
“Damn, you’re all sweaty!
Don’t smear it all over me!” Song Yun laughingly embraced Li Tang once and then pushed Fan Jian away.
“Let’s go, this is not the place to catch up,” Wang Hu said, “Let’s head back first.”
“Take me to First Hospital first,” Song Yun said.
“Okay,” Wang Hu replied, and the group got into the car and headed for Sunan First Hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Song Yun found out which ward Zhang Longhu was in.
Song Yun walked ahead while Wang Hu, Li Tang, Zhao Yan, and the others followed.
Trailing them were seven or eight younger men dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses.
Except for Li Tang, who looked carefree, Black Flood Dragon, Meng Ku, and Wang Hu had an air of not being easy to mess with.
This crowd entering the hospital truly gave the security guards a fright.
Song Yun reached a ward based on the information he received and then instructed his crowd to wait outside while he went in alone.
It was a very ordinary ward with several beds, each with a patient lying in it.
Zhang Longhu was in a bed with his eyes closed, as if sleeping.
Next to him was an IV stand.
Song Yun noticed that Zhang Longhu wasn’t in the intensive care unit, a relief as it meant his internal injuries probably weren’t too severe.
Song Yun walked over to Zhang Longhu, who was still dressed in his prison clothes.
A prison guard was stationed beside him, responsible for watching Zhang Longhu.
The guard, not recognizing Song Yun, warned, “Hey, you there, don’t come over.”
However, Song Yun didn’t stop his steps, walking straight to Zhang Longhu’s side.
As the guard was about to say something, Song Yun threw his Military District Major General credentials over.
After seeing them, the guard promptly fell silent, then courteously left the ward.
Outside the ward, he saw Black Flood Dragon’s group looking like bandits, which made the guard even more polite, slipping away to the restroom at the end of the corridor to hide.
Zhang Longhu wasn’t actually asleep.
Hearing someone approach, he opened his eyes and saw Song Yun.
“Song Yun, what are you doing here!” Zhang Longhu exclaimed with surprise.
“Haha, just came to see if you were dead yet,” Song Yun joked.
“C’mon, I wouldn’t die if you died.
Don’t you know I can take a beating?” Zhang Longhu boasted with pride, then probably agitated his wound, gasping with a hiss of pain.
“Stay still if you’re hurt,” Song Yun advised.
“It’s nothing.
By the way, how’d you get out?
Did you escape from prison!” Zhang Longhu asked in shock.
“Haha, no way.
Haven’t I told you?
I was wronged, and now that I’ve been vindicated, of course, I was released,” Song Yun replied with pride.
“Really?
You better not be lying to me!” Zhang Longhu asked with surprise and happiness.
“Of course, it’s true.
Moreover, just before I came here, the Prison Chief issued a notice saying that because of your good behavior, you’ll be released early, probably in about a month’s time!” Song Yun said.
This wasn’t a bluff, but a promise given by the Prison Chief in an effort to please him.
“Holy shit, is there such good news?
This beating wasn’t in vain!” Zhang Longhu laughed.
“That’s true.
Remember to give me a call when you get out in a month!” Song Yun said.
“Sure thing.
But, Song Yun, although you’re out, be careful with Sky Pillar.
He didn’t just have influence in prison; he’s got clout outside too.
You’d better be careful and maybe leave Sunan!!”
“It’s fine, Sky Pillar is already dead,” Song Yun said calmly.
“Dead?
How did he die?” Zhang Longhu asked, surprised.
“He was playing hide and seek, smashed his head on a wall and cracked his skull!” Song Yun said seriously, “Such a big guy and still into playing hide and seek, really.”
“This…” Zhang Longhu looked at Song Yun, fell silent for a while, and said, “It seems, Song Yun, you are no ordinary person.”
“What do you mean ‘no ordinary person’?
I don’t have three heads and six arms, haha.”
As the two were chatting, a young man lying in the bed next to Zhang Longhu spoke up, “Hey, can you keep it down?
Don’t you see there are other patients here?”
“Oh?
Sorry, sorry,” Song Yun said upon being called out, realizing that he had been quite loud, so he apologized.
“Yo!?
I was wondering why there was such a lack of manners.
Turns out one of you is from inside!” The young man seemed to notice Zhang Longhu’s prison clothes for the first time and glanced at him condescendingly.
Then he said to a young woman beside him, “It’s really strange.
When did the hospital start letting convicts in?
Isn’t that disregard for our personal safety?”
“Exactly!
Even in Sunan First Hospital!
Really, they’ll take in anyone.” The woman by his side agreed.
Song Yun’s mood darkened, his originally pleasant mood marred by these two.
Just as Song Yun was about to say something, Zhang Longhu pulled him aside.
“It’s nothing,” Zhang Longhu whispered, “People from the inside are not well-regarded.”
“You…” Song Yun seemed a bit helpless.
Zhang Longhu really was a good guy, but he lacked a man’s spirit.
If it were Song Yun, he wouldn’t care how he was perceived; if you crossed him, he would step all over you, regardless of whether you could be stepped on – that would be dealt with later!
Song Yun always felt that a man could lack temper, could be as gentle as a woman, but must never lack backbone or spirit.
In such times, a man without spirit is like a lion on the grassland without teeth and claws, one that can only be ridden!
“Ah, Song Yun, you’re still too young,” Zhang Longhu said, “It’s better to be kind to others in society.”
“Being kind doesn’t mean letting anyone walk all over you,” Song Yun contended.
“But it’s better to avoid trouble when possible.
Sometimes taking a little loss can save a lot of trouble,” Zhang Longhu also disagreed with Song Yun’s views.
Looking at Zhang Longhu, Song Yun was reminded of the oppressed Shen Zhou people in the old society, who all resembled Zhang Longhu, right?
“I can’t take it anymore, nurse, nurse,” the young man in the next bed suddenly raised his voice, and soon a nurse came over, “What’s wrong?”
“What’s the matter with you guys!
How can you put a convict in the same room as me?
Don’t you know that convicts are dangerous?
If he hurts us, then your hospital will be responsible, you know that?”
