Despite the injuries, it was all due to his willpower that Liu Jianwei could still move normally. After a brief ma.s.sage, Su Tao prepared a prescription for internal injuries, and when Liu Jianwei drank it, he could instantly feel a soothing sensation to his five viscera and six bowels. At the same time, he had gained a deep understanding of Su Tao's medical skills. Martial Artists were afraid of injuries the most. Back then, when he was still in the monastery, they had a monk that could treat their injuries. But in the underground arena, he didn't have that luxury, so his injuries started to pile up when they couldn't be adequately treated.
Although the effect of Su Tao's treatment wasn't instant, it was still higher than the monk they had in the monastery, giving Liu Jianwei a new view of Su Tao.
Liu Jianwei had his own thoughts regarding Su Tao's invitation. As a prideful and untamed person, it's impossible for him to willingly go under someone. The reason why he had promised Su Tao to work for him was only out of convenient planning. But right now, there was another thought circulating in his mind. If he followed Su Tao, he might be able to get all the injuries in his body treated.
This was also Su Tao's motive for treating Liu Jianwei as well, he needed to keep the latter's heart with him so that the latter could be loyal to him. However, that wasn't something that could be accomplished in one day, so the first thing he had to do, right now, was to treat Liu Jianwei's old injuries. In this manner, he might be able to make Liu Jianwei feel grat.i.tude for him in his heart.
When Liu Jianwei came out of Su Tao's bedroom, Xia Yu was standing in the courtyard for quite a while, smoking. His gaze was on Liu Jianwei for a long time. Xia Yu wanted to see through the former. When Liu Jianwei noticed Xia Yu's abnormal gaze, he also looked at the latter with sparks flying between their eyes.
A room was arranged for Liu Jianwei by Cai Yan. Although it wasn't luxurious, it was still better than what he had been staying at in this period of time. Thus, he was satisfied with such arrangements. The bedding was all new and thick, it felt comfortably soft with the scent of suns.h.i.+ne. With his head over his arm, Liu Jianwei looked at the ceiling and he started to reminisce about the past. At this moment, it felt as if he had found a home.
Changing the tea leaves and brewing another pot, Su Tao asked with a smile upon seeing Xia Yu's knitted brows, "What's wrong?"
"The security was a little tight, and it's impossible for me to get through them." Xia Yu sighed.
Nodding his head, Su Tao responded, "Have you given a copy of the information to the police?"
Rubbing his nose, Xia Yu answered, "I have given it to a close friend of mine. He's doing much better than I am; he's in the criminal police now. Judging from his tone, I can tell that he doesn't really place much importance in this matter."
Su Tao a.n.a.lysed, "There are two possibilities. Firstly, Xu Jiangang and Qiao Dehao might have someone covering up for them through their connections. Secondly, our information isn't detailed enough for the police to look at."
Rubbing his brows, Xia Yu sighed in exhaustion, "What should we do now?" He had spent quite a bit of time investigating this matter, so he felt a little anxious now that he had encountered a bottleneck.
After a brief silence, Su Tao replied, "How can we get more information without going deep? We just have to force our way in."
"Just the two of us?" Xia Yu widened his eyes.
"What? You're scared?" Su Tao smiled.
"Says who, why don't I dare?" Xia Yu rubbed the beard stubble on his chin as his eyes lit up. Deep in his bones, Xia Yu was also a hot-blooded person.
