6: Scalp numb
“Brother-in-law, that…” Li Ruotai didn’t say it all at once, his state was very wrong.
It’s a feeling of “I’ve done something wrong, it’s hard to say”.
Li Ruotai, who was called Mr. Li in the Eastern Sea, should only show this kind of mental state towards Li Ruobing.
To others, even If Li Ruotai did something wrong, he would just speak about it.
He obviously blabbered in a hurry, but now he was stuck.
Li Ruotai obviously felt that it was impossible to speak directly and was considering the wording.
Wu Chen listened to Li Ruotai’s hesitation and paused, then sat up. He turned his head and glanced out the window, thinking for a while.
“Lao Dao ran away?” Wu Chen asked directly.
“Ah… Brother-in-law, how did you know…” Li Ruotai was startled. It happened not long ago. Li Ruotai just found out. It was impossible for Wu Chen to know before him. After all, the people guarding the hospital were his men.I feel like he guessed it!
How can you guess this?!
Of course, it was not just guessing.
Wu Chen simply brushed it off. At present, this was the only thing that mattered, Lao Dao!
Wu Chen just told Li Ruotai a little bit about the importance of Lao Dao! Li Ruotai understood it very well. This morning, Wu Chen had a phone call with Li Ruotai, asking about him again.
He even set a time to go to the hospital to talk to Lao Dao!
Wu Chen also understood Lao Dao!
Lao Dao lost a lot of blood yesterday. Although he was rescued in time, his weakness was unavoidable. Besides, the wound had not healed. He had only been stitched up.
As long as he moved, the pain was trivial, but the wound may burst open and he would bleed to death.
Lao Dao only rested for a day and a night.
With that kind of injury, if it was someone else, it would be difficult to sit up.
The anesthetic should have already worn off, and the pain would be so painful!
But Lao Dao… was different! Moreover, his ability was honed through life and death! The way he walked was very evil! As long as you let your guard down on him, he could seize the opportunity!
Although the bodyguards around Li Ruotai were all elites, it was obvious that they couldn’t be very vigilant against a seriously injured person.
Making sure that Lao Dao wouldn’t run away and making sure he didn’t have any accidents, these were Li Ruotai’s responsibilities.
It was his responsibility to make sure he wouldn’t run away! So now, Li Ruotai found it hard to explain… and… not only that!
“Brother-in-law, just half an hour ago, that guy Lao Dao jump through the window on the third floor. The bodyguard said he shouldn’t climbed out of a water pipe. Lao Dao has definitely practiced in this area…” Li Ruotai wanted to explain.
The more he spoke, the faster his speech. “I have arranged for a lot of people, stationed them upstairs and downstairs, as well as inside and outside the house. Still, all it took was the guard to go to the toilet. Nobody had seen him since. But brother-in-law, don’t worry. I have sent someone to look for him. He was so badly injured, so he couldn’t run away. He will definitely be found, don’t worry!”
That’s just carelessness!
No one would be too vigilant against a person who was injured like that. According to Li Ruotai, the person who was watching Lao Dao should have gone to the toilet. There wasn’t much time before and after, but Lao Dao took advantage of the short time and ran away as soon as he saw it!
But Wu Chen knew.
Lao Dao was really not afraid of death, especially daring to risk his life!
However, daring to risk one’s life did not mean that one likes to risk one’s life, otherwise he would have died long ago!
It should be clear to him that he was injured so badly this time. If he ran today, he would probably die on the way of his escape!
He probably couldn’t get out of the Eastern Sea!
If he was rescued, he should also understand that he was valuable! On the contrary, he wouldnn’t be dealt with easily. He can delay for a few more days, recuperate his wounds, and then try to find a way to escape. In this way, the possibility of escaping from the Eastern Sea alive was much greater!
But he chose to run away at the risk of death.
This was obviously abnormal, there was a problem!
This… was Li Ruotai!
“Speaking so much and explaining to me in one breath, what are you trying to hide?” Wu Chen directly pierced Li Ruotai’s mind.
“Uh…” Li Ruotai didn’t know how to answer Wu Chen.
“Oh! A’tai…” Wu Chen sighed and said again, “Why are you in a hurry? Didn’t I tell you that I would let you explain?” Wu Chen’s tone was very flat, but it was more relaxed than usual.
With such contrast, it could be really frustrating.
“No, brother-in-law… I… Actually I… I’m just…” Li Ruotai couldn’t explain at all, and he was a little confused, because Wu Chen knew what he did.
“Okay, I get it, I will find him.” Wu Chen hung up after finishing speaking.
Without Li Ruotai’s explanation, Wu Chen could figure out what was going on.
Before Wu Chen met Lao Dao, the only person who could put pressure on Lao Dao was Li Ruotai. His subordinates would naturally not make their own claims, and Li Ruotai just said that “it’s hard to say what’s wrong”.
The answer was obvious.
It was Li Ruotai who talked to Lao Dao after he woke up!
He had a bit of a temper, and what Ding Ruilong did this time really made him angry, so he wanted to find out first.
He must have threatened Lao Dao! He said some harsh words! Li Ruotai was ruthless enough, he would do what he said! Lao Dao must have known him before coming to Eastern Sea, so… he must have run away immediately!
He knew that if he didn’t cooperate with Li Ruotai next time, Li Ruotai would probably kill him!
If he didn’t run right away, he would just be waiting to die, and only by running could he have a chance.
Obviously, after Lao Dao ran away, Li Ruotai realized that he had done something wrong. It might not have been wrong in the first place, but it was all wrong if he didn’t watch Lao Dao! That’s why he had difficulty explaining…
—
In the hospital corridor…
After Li Ruotai heard that Wu Chen hung up, his whole face turned strange again. He felt that his brother-in-law seemed to be angry. In fact, Wu Chen didn’t say anything harsh, but his tone was flat, and he just felt it!
To Wu Chen, Li Ruotai might not be able to talk about it. He recognized this brother-in-law more and more, and… he was really afraid of his elder sister!
Li Ruotai thought about it and immediately dialed another number.
It went through soon.
“A’tai…” Li Ruobing’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Sister, that…” Li Ruotai paused after speaking.
“Huh?” Li Ruobing’s tone changed immediately. She knew her brother too well, so she immediately understood the tone. She asked in a cold voice, “What’s wrong with you again? Tell me!”
Speaking of this matter, the biggest problem was that it would affect Li Ruobing’s future!
Lao Dao was very important! Wu Chen wanted to talk to him, it was to deal with Ding Ruilong! Li Ruotai talked with Lao Dao in advance, forcing Lao Dao to run away immediately.
He didn’t keep watch, the bad thing was not only Wu Chen’s business, but also Li Ruobing’s business!
Li Ruotai was very afraid that his sister would beat him!
And, he was very self-blaming!
Li Ruobing listened to Li Ruotai without saying a word.
She was silent for a while, and this silence made Li Ruotai flustered.
“Sister! I know I’m wrong! I will definitely find him! Sister, trust me!” Li Ruotai said again, not giving Li Ruobing a chance to speak, “By the way, sister, I told brother-in-law, and brother-in-law seems to be angry… …”
“Is he angry? He scolded you?” Li Ruobing immediately asked, her voice raised a little, and her heart gave a “thud” because Wu Chen was never angry.
If he was really angry… Li Ruobing’s scalp felt a little numb!
“Yeah, he didn’t scold me, it just… it feels like…” Li Ruotai said.
“You! You! What do you want me to say about you!” Li Ruobing was breathing heavily, and she wanted to curse, but she lost all the energy to curse. “Hurry up and find him! Find him right away! As for your brother-in-law, I will talk to him! I will speak well for you.”
After all, Li Ruobing loved her brother dearly.
She even felt that if Wu Chen was really angry, it would be much, much worse than Lao Dao running away!
In the office of the president of Symphony Fashion, Li Ruobing hung up and immediately dialed Wu Chen’s number.
It went throught right away.
“Honey, A’tai told me about his mistaked…” Li Ruobing spoke for Li Ruotai.
“I’m not angry.” Wu Chen said directly, and then smiled lightly, “He can’t escape. I’m driving to see Lao Dao.”
“Huh?” Li Ruobing reacted before blurting out and asked, “Do you know where Lao Dao ran off to?”
