Su Tao immediately rushed from Xiangnan's Xingzhou City to Huaibei's He City. The instant he stepped out of the airport terminal, he felt the stinging pain from dusting snow on his face.
He never felt that much rage for one person. Although Bai Fan played numerous schemes, he had touched his bottom line this time. Su Tao never considered himself to be perfect, since he had his own weaknesses and weak spots. He regarded those around him as precious, and whoever dared to harm them would be crossing his bottom line.
Liu Jianwei and Xia Yu had already gathered there. After picking up Su Tao from the airport, the three of them silently sat in the vehicle, especially Liu Jianwei. He had his eyes closed throughout the entire trip, looking like a furious wolf.
The vehicle drove towards She Wei's residence, and following the navigation, the vehicle soon reached the villa. In this time, the snow had become more intense.
Zhao Jian was lying in one of the rooms located on the first floor with the air conditioner raised to a high temperature. Su Tao walked to Zhao Jian and placed his fingers on the latter's pulse. After examining the latter's wounds, Su Tao's expression loosened up. It wasn't as bad as he had imagined. One month of rest was sufficient for Zhao Jian to be as lively as a tiger.
Cai Yan stood beside Su Tao with a bandage on her head. Su Tao removed the bandage and applied his self-manufactured ointment and dressed her injury. Cai Yan forced a smile and comforted, "I'm fine. Zhao Jian was courageous when he stood before me. Will he be fine?"
"Just a few fractures, I'll deal with it later to make sure that there won't be any repercussions." Su Tao said in a solemn tone.
Cai Yan had spent a great deal of time with Su Tao, but despite that, she had never seen the latter's face so dark and reminded, "Don't be rash. After all, this is Huaibei, and we're in Bai Fan's territory."
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that not even a powerful dragon dares to suppress a snake at the latter's territory. Nodding his head, Su Tao said, "Don't worry. I won't be rash."
Due to the excruciating pain from the fractures, Zhao Jian wasn't in a deep sleep. Su Tao gave an eye signal to Cai Yan, and the latter tactfully left the room with everyone for Su Tao to conduct his treatment. Bone fractures weren't a big deal. Su Tao gently wrung a bit, and Zhao Jian could hear the crackling noise coming from his body, before the pain was instantly alleviated.
Once Zhao Jian's conscious was more focused, he forced a smile and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Master, I'm sorry that I couldn't protect the new branch; it was completely ruined."
The new branch received the funding of nearly ¥2,000,000, and this event had practically made it go down the drain.
Hearing his words, Su Tao felt complicated in his heart and he said, "Next time, don't blindly charge forth. If they trash the place, so be it. Your life is more important."
Hearing Su Tao's words, Zhao Jian felt more comforted, before he gritted his teeth. "The other party had too many people with them. If it's just three to four of them, it wouldn't have been an issue for me to deal with them!"
Su Tao apologised, "I'm sorry. I didn't consider enough. I should have let Brother Liu follow you guys to the new branch."
"Master, I have something that I would like to ask of you." Zhao Jian lowered his voice.
"What is it? As long as it's something that can be done, I will do my best for you." Su Tao has never given out a promise so solemnly.
"Don't tell Senior Sister about this matter." Zhao Jian was ashamed as he continued, "I'm afraid that she will be disappointed."
Hearing his words, Su Tao was briefly stunned. He never expected this fellow to be such a Casanova to have such deep feelings for Xiao Jingjing. He nodded his head. "Rest a.s.sured. I won't let Xiao Jingjing learn about this matter."
Licking his cracked lips, Zhao Jin smiled in self-ridicule. "Master, I actually know that Senior Sister already has someone in her heart, but I just can't get her off my mind."
