Chapter 151 The Death

The next morning at eight o'clock, Dragon City Central Hospital.

In a specially guarded bungalow, Kong Zhengui, looking listless and pale, lay in bed, staring blankly at the television mounted on the opposite wall.

A boring online program was playing on TV, but Kong Zhengui didn't seem to care, using it as a way to pass the time and relieve his boredom.

When Kong Zhengui was rescued that day, quite some time had passed. His right palm had been completely crushed, the bones shattered and inflamed.

In the end, the hospital had no choice but to amputate his entire right hand. Now, at the wrist of his right arm, there was only a white bandage wrapped around it.

After a while, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Kong Zhengqi walked in, greeting him softly, "Brother, are you watching TV?"

"Yeah, just watching something to pass the time," Kong Zhengui said, picking up the remote control and turning off the TV with a snap.

He supported himself with one hand and slowly sat up, saying to his cousin, "Sit down."

"Okay!"

Kong Zhengqi pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed, then picked up the water bottle from the bedside table and poured Kong Zhengui a glass of water. "Brother, have some water."

Kong Zhengui took the glass with his left hand, glanced at him, and asked, "How is the Old Man doing?"

Kong Zhengqi shook his head and sighed, "Ah... the Old Man hasn't been eating these days."

Hearing this, Kong Zhengui's eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything.

Kong Zhengui had been recuperating these days, but he instructed Kong Zhengqi to take care of the Old Man for him.

The two were silent for a while, and Kong Zhengqi suddenly said, "Brother, Lao Huang contacted me twice. I took a look at the plan he made for us, and I think it's feasible."

Hearing this, Kong Zhengui waved his hand, "I haven't thought about it yet, and I don't want to talk about it."

Kong Zhengqi wanted to say something, but looking at his cousin's face, he swallowed the words back and didn't try to persuade him further.

The two fell silent again. Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open again, and a young nurse pushed in a food cart, creaking as she walked. "Mr. Kong, your breakfast is ready."

Staying in a special care ward meant that the hospital was responsible for three meals a day, with a balanced nutritional mix to help with wound recovery.

Kong Zhengui said, "Just put it here, and you can go out."

The young nurse glanced at Kong Zhengqi sitting by the bed, nodded, and left the ward.

After the nurse left, Kong Zhengqi got up and pulled the food cart over, saying, "Brother, let me feed you."

Kong Zhengui waved his hand impatiently. "No need, I can eat myself. You go take care of the Old Man. Remember to go to the company in the afternoon."

Kong Zhengqi thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I'll go then."

"Okay."

After seeing his cousin off, Kong Zhengui got out of bed, went to the food cart, and carried the dishes one by one to the table next to him.

The food was freshly cooked and still hot.

After Kong Zhengui brought two plates of dishes to the table, he went to get the steaming soup.

"Damn!"

Unexpectedly, he was scalded by the hot soup bowl. His fingers felt as if they were pricked by needles, and he subconsciously let go.

The soup bowl fell to the ground, and in that instant, Kong Zhengui reacted almost instinctively, reaching out with his right hand to catch it.

"Crash!"

The soup bowl fell to the ground, shattering into pieces, and hot soup splashed everywhere, wetting his trouser legs and making his calves tremble from the heat.

Kong Zhengui stood there, staring at the broken bowl on the ground, his mind in a mess.

He couldn't even catch a bowl, wasn't he just a useless piece of trash?

In the blink of an eye, anger, resentment, and other negative emotions seemed to spill into Kong Zhengui's mind like the overturned soup bowl!

"Damn!!"

He roared, his eyes bloodshot, and he raised a foot and kicked over the food cart!

"Clang!"

"Crash!"

All the bowls shattered, the food splattered all over the floor, and there was greasy soup everywhere!

Kong Zhengui sat down on the bed with a thud, clutching his hair with his left hand, looking at his trembling stump with bloodshot eyes, feeling extremely painful inside!

The nurse outside the door heard the sound of things being knocked over and rushed in. Seeing his appearance, she asked worriedly, "Mr. Kong, what's wrong?"

Kong Zhengui endured the extremely irritable emotions in his heart, his eyes fierce, and he said to her in a suppressed voice, "I'm fine, you can go out."

"Mr. Kong, let me help you clean up..."

"Get out!!"

The nurse understood the patient's emotions, especially since he was in a special care ward. She didn't say anything and silently walked towards the door.

Just then, Kong Zhengqi ran in with a pale face, looking panicked as he said to Kong Zhengui, "Brother... Grand... Grandfather is gone..."

Kong Zhengui froze there.

...

An hour later, in Yu Mingyuan's villa.

Wa Wa and Wen Xiaorou were sitting on the large sofa in the living room, looking at photo albums.

Although Wa Wa and Tan Mingchao had already taken their wedding photos, Yu Mingyuan and Wen Xiaorou hadn't taken theirs yet. They were taking advantage of this free time to study them together.

Wa Wa picked out one of the exquisite albums and recommended, "This studio is very good. I used them last time!"

Wen Xiaorou took it and flipped through it, "It is pretty good..."

As the two were talking, Yu Mingyuan hurried down from upstairs, looking somewhat serious.

He looked at the two women and said softly, "You guys wait here, I'm going out for a bit."

Wen Xiaorou asked, "Where are you going?"

Yu Mingyuan sighed, "Zhengui's father passed away. I have to go there."

Wen Xiaorou's expression also became serious. She stood up and said, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Yu Mingyuan waved his hand, "No need, I'll go by myself."

With that, he said goodbye to the two of them and turned to leave the villa. As he got into the car, he called Zhou Tonghui, "Hey, did you hear? Zhengui's father passed away."

Zhou Tonghui also said softly, "I heard... I'm on my way there now."

Yu Mingyuan nodded, "Alright, let's go together. I'll see you at the Kong's residence later."

...

At the same time, Dragon City Airport.

Da Bai's plane had just arrived in Dragon City.

He was escorted by more than a dozen Blackwater Mercenary guards. As soon as he got off the plane, he was picked up by security personnel from the General Administration of Inspections.

Soon, a convoy left the airport and headed to the hotel where they were staying.

Da Bai sat in a spacious car, squinting his eyes, wondering who to call first.

"Ring ring!"

Just then, the phone rang first. Da Bai glanced at it and answered the phone, "Hey, what's up?"

Su Tianbei's voice rang out, "Have you arrived in Dragon City?"

Da Bai nodded, "I just arrived, heading to the hotel now."

Su Tianbei said in a low voice, "Zhengui's father passed away."

"Ah."

Da Bai sighed and immediately replied, "Alright, then I'll go over there now."

After saying that, the two hung up the phone. Da Bai said to the receptionist sitting in the passenger seat, "Go to the Kong's residence. Kong Zhengui's father passed away. I'll go pay my respects."

The receptionist thought for a moment and said, "The funeral over there should be quite chaotic. We need to strengthen security."

Da Bai nodded and said, "Don't make it too public, they're all acquaintances."

...

Dragon City General Administration of Inspections.

Gu Baishun sat in his office, called a young man who worked under him, instructed him on a few things, and finally said, "Alright, go ahead."

Guo Zhengdao sat beside him and couldn't help but interject, "Should we call Director Su first?"

Gu Baishun waved his hand, "It's just a routine inquiry, why would we call? Alright, go do it quickly."

"Yes!"

The young man nodded and left the office.
