Two doctors entered and immediately began a thorough examination of Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang on the beds.
Qin Chuan and the others watched in silence.
Qin Er Ge’s mind was aflutter with a thousand questions, but he couldn’t voice them at this moment.
As time ticked by, the two attending physicians finally finished their examinations.
Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong were in better condition than expected. Apart from some external injuries, both had suffered heavy blows to their chests, resulting in cracked ribs. They would need a period of rest and recovery.
This news brought a wave of relief to everyone, and they expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
Qin Chuan personally escorted the two physicians out. Once outside, he pressed a large red envelope into each of their hands.
Returning to the ward, perhaps due to exhaustion or their injuries, Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong had already fallen asleep.
Only Brother Qin Yang and Zheng Cheng Dao remained awake in the room, along with Qin Er Ge, who showed no signs of sleepiness.
“Tell me, what exactly happened tonight!”
As Qin Chuan entered, he overheard Qin Gang’s anxious question.
However, in a strange turn of events, his two elder brothers, who were usually very close to him, pointedly ignored him, sitting there quietly and smoking.
Upon seeing Qin Chuan push open the door, Qin Gang on the bed immediately fell silent. He seemed to be harboring some resentment towards his younger brother for scolding him earlier.
Qin Chuan noticed this as well and chose to ignore it. He then turned to Qin Yang and Zheng Cheng Dao, saying, “You’re both tired tonight. Go back and rest. I’ll call a few brothers to take care of things here.”
“Boss, no need, I’m not tired,” Zheng Cheng Dao said with a grin.
“I’m not tired either,” Qin Yang added.
Qin Chuan frowned, about to say something, when his phone suddenly rang. He quickly took out his phone and walked out of the ward, not wanting to disturb Yao Dong and Bai Xiaoguang, who had just fallen asleep.
However, as he stepped outside and saw who was calling, Qin Chuan’s brow furrowed deeply. It was Xiao Guo Dong.
This guy was remarkably well-informed. He knew so quickly.
Looks like he’s in for another lecture!
Qin Chuan muttered to himself and answered the phone, “Hello, Captain Xiao.”
“Qin Chuan, what the hell have you been doing all day!”
As soon as the call connected, Xiao Guo Dong’s furious roar erupted from the phone, his voice incredibly loud.
Qin Chuan had already pulled the phone far from his ear. After Xiao Guo Dong’s voice subsided, he brought the phone closer and said with a smile, “Captain Xiao, please calm down! Calm down!”
“I was forced into it, you know. When you walk in the jianghu, you have no control over yourself!”
“But rest assured, I always act with discretion and never cross the line.”

“Because I’m a legitimate businessman!”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Guo Dong’s response was uncharacteristically loud and angry: “Legitimate my ass! Discretion my foot!”
“Someone’s dead, and you have the nerve to argue with me!”
The smile on Qin Chuan’s face vanished instantly upon hearing this.
“Captain Xiao, what did you say? Someone’s dead?”
Xiao Guo Dong cursed, “Don’t you know what you’ve done?”
“We just received a report that a man named Ding Xu has died!”
“The director got up in the middle of the night, assembled the team personally, and is now on his way to the hospital where you are!”
Xiao Guo Dong’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Qin Chuan’s head, making him tremble.
Only one thought echoed in his mind: Impossible!
How could Ding Xu be dead?
He couldn’t believe that a master like Zheng Cheng Dao couldn’t control this, and would actually kill someone without his permission.
“Captain Xiao, you… you’ll have to let me calm down for a moment.”
Qin Chuan took a deep breath and said quickly.
“Calm down your ass! Before we get there, hurry up and think of a solution. You only have twenty minutes.”
The drive from the police station to the hospital was precisely twenty minutes.
“Thank you, Captain Xiao, I understand!”
Qin Chuan quickly hung up and rushed back to the ward.
With a bang, he flung the door open, startling everyone in the room.
“Xiao Chuan, what’s wrong?”
Qin Yang noticed something was amiss with Qin Chuan and quickly stood up.
Zheng Cheng Dao and Qin Gang also noticed.
“Something’s happened!”
Qin Chuan said quickly, then fixed his gaze on Zheng Cheng Dao. “Brother Dao, I’m asking you, when you dealt with Ding Xu, did you control your strength? Could it have resulted in a fatality?”
Zheng Cheng Dao immediately replied, “Absolutely not. I controlled my strength.”
“But Captain Xiao Guo Dong just called and told me Ding Xu is dead!”
Qin Chuan’s words plunged the entire ward into a deathly silence. Qin Gang, on the bed, gaped in shock.
“How is that possible?!”
Qin Yang also muttered in fear, his face draining of color as he looked anxiously at Zheng Cheng Dao.
When Qin Chuan mentioned Ding Xu’s death, Zheng Cheng Dao’s pupils contracted for a fleeting moment. However, surprisingly, he remained very calm, his weathered face showing no sign of panic.
“I have absolute confidence in my actions. The injuries might look scary, but they would never be fatal.”
Qin Chuan was also getting anxious now. Lives were at stake, and the situation had escalated drastically.
He had been shocked when he received Xiao Guo Dong’s call.
“Of course, I believe you, but it’s not about whether you controlled your strength anymore. It’s that this Ding Xu person is truly dead!”
“Xiao Guo Dong just called to say they’ve assembled their team and are on their way. We have twenty minutes… no, only eighteen minutes left!”
Qin Chuan glanced at his watch.
“Then what should we do?”
Qin Yang was completely flustered. He thought the night’s events had finally concluded with a decent outcome, but then this major, unexpected incident occurred.
The Ding Xu, injured by Zheng Cheng Dao, had actually died…
Since ancient times, cases involving human life have been major cases. Whether it was intentional homicide or manslaughter, both carried severe penalties, ranging from years in prison to execution.
“Why don’t we have Brother Dao run away quickly…”
Qin Yang suggested, believing that with Zheng Cheng Dao’s skills, escaping would be no problem.
Zheng Cheng Dao remained silent, his deep eyes fixed on Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan decisively shook his head. “Running away is the worst option. Unless it’s an absolute last resort, we cannot do that.”
After a brief moment of panic, he gradually regained his composure, his mind working at lightning speed.
“Because if we run, it will prove we have something to hide and play right into Han Shifei’s trap. With his connections, the police will issue an arrest warrant, and Brother Dao will truly be unable to clear his name.”
Given the circumstances, it was obvious that Han Shifei was behind this.
