"Big bro, you still remember me! That memory of yours is truly impressive," said Luo Chao admiringly. It's been a long time since last time, and considering how many passengers a taxi takes daily, it's remarkable that this big bro could still recognize me.
"Hey~~" The driver grinned proudly and said, "Buddy, just so you know, I'm not bragging, but anyone who's ever been in my car, even after four or five years, I can remember them with about 80% accuracy. If my family could afford schooling when I was a kid, with my memory, I'd have graduated from Huaxia University as your senior by now."
Indeed, had he undergone professional training like Luo Chao did, it wouldn't be so surprising. The key point is, this driver's just a plain ordinary person, which makes it quite rare.
"Everything okay? Rushing to the top for some engagement? You seemed all sweaty when you got in the car," asked the driver.
"No, my cousin just called, something might have happened!" Luo Chao replied.
"Oh?" The driver said, "Is it urgent?"
"Possibly quite urgent."
The driver nodded and said, "Hang tight," and then started his signature racing skill, dramatically increasing the speed that's already fast. An ordinary Volkswagen was driven by him like a Ferrari, and absolutely without breaking any traffic laws, this must be honed from years of experience.
Soon, they arrived at the summit. Luo Chao opened the door, ready to pay the fare. The driver waved his hand, refusing payment: "I said it last time, we're two people who click, I don't care about a little fuel money. Next time if there's something urgent, just call me. I'll get you there in the fastest way possible."
With that, he started the car and leisurely drove away. Luo Chao watched the Volkswagen disappear into the distance, feeling touched by the driver's kindness.
Just then, Hua Liunian rushed over from the hotel entrance.
"Master, you came so fast."
"Hmm, which way did Little Wolf go?" Luo Chao asked immediately.
"I saw Uncle following those two men heading south." Hua Liunian responded quickly, not daring to delay.
Luo Chao nodded, not speaking further. His spiritual sense extended towards the south. Right now, the top priority was to find Little Wolf.
"Nothing?" Luo Chao withdrew his spiritual sense, realizing that the three of them might have moved beyond his maximum detection range. The situation was now a bit tricky.
"What's wrong, Master?" Seeing Luo Chao's troubled expression, Hua Liunian asked carefully.
"Go get the car. We'll chase towards the south."
Hua Liunian hurried to the parking lot, brought the Audi A8, and Luo Chao instructed Hua Liunian to drive around major streets on patrol.
Currently, he could only use this dumb method, following bit by bit with his spiritual sense. Still, he wasn't too worried, believing in Little Wolf's cleverness. Surely he would find a way to contact him again.
However, things didn't go as Luo Chao expected. An hour passed, nearly searching the entire southern part of Liuhai, still no signs of suspicious individuals, and not a peep from his phone; Little Wolf hadn't sent any messages, making him anxious.
Seeing Luo Chao's face turn dark as if it could drip water, Hua Liunian suggested nervously, "Master, why don't we call the police? They can help, and things will speed up."
Luo Chao thought it over and agreed; more people, more power. Perhaps there would be some discovery. He pulled out his phone, just about to call Duanmu Qing, but unexpectedly, his phone rang first. Seeing the caller ID, it was that woman, Duanmu Qing.
"Hey! I was just about to call you to have your people..."
"Listen to me first," Duanmu Qing interrupted before Luo Chao could finish. "The city hospital just admitted an injured person, brought in by passersby. His injuries are extremely severe and strange, his life hangs by a thread. The hospital needs a family member's signature for surgery, so they've asked for help from us at the police station."
"And then?" Luo Chao already had a sense of foreboding.
"The injured person is the youngest team member I saw with you at the stadium last time." Duanmu Qing didn't know Little Wolf's name. "I've already instructed the hospital to start treatment."
"I'm heading there right now," Luo Chao ended the call, closing his eyes briefly, "To the city hospital."
Hua Liunian had heard the call too, unsure how it went from Little Wolf being fine earlier to suddenly heavily injured in the hospital. With the power and speed of Little Wolf, who could harm him? Could those superpower users be that formidable!!?
Regardless of his thoughts, the urgent matter was reaching the hospital. The car stormed and sped fiercely.
Before long, they arrived. Luo Chao got out and headed straight for the intensive care unit. Upstairs, he spotted Duanmu Qing standing outside the room. Without speaking to her, he pushed the door to the ICU open and rushed in, Hua Liunian following closely.
"Who are you, get out right now and let the patient rest," a young nurse shouted sharply inside the room, but Luo Chao ignored her, only signaling with his eyes to Duanmu Qing who followed them in.
Duanmu Qing caught on, smilingly ushering the nurse out.
Only then did Luo Chao start examining Little Wolf, who was covered with tubes.
His face was colorless, breathing labored. His abdomen and left side of the neck were wrapped in dozens of thick bandages, quickly soaked in blood within minutes, seemingly not stopping the bleeding at all.
This puzzled Luo Chao. With Little Wolf's physical recovery ability, such wounds should be nothing. In past self-harm instances, he'd dealt with heavier injuries yet managed to stop the bleeding with simple measures, so why was this happening now?
"Little Wolf... Little Wolf... Can you hear me?" Luo Chao bent over, softly calling into Little Wolf's ear.
Little Wolf's eyelids fluttered a little and slowly opened. Using a hoarse, faint voice, he said.
"Luo bro, those two belong to the Dark Alliance..."
"How are you feeling?" Seeing him speak, Luo Chao asked with concern. His injuries were the priority; other matters could wait.
"It's okay, just hurts a bit. But my own powers can't heal the wounds, there's something preventing my recovery," Little Wolf weakly chuckled.
Hearing this, Luo Chao furrowed his brow, puzzled as to why this was happening. Placing his hand on Little Wolf's injured neck, Luo Chao closed his eyes to sense, indeed discovering the underlying issue at the wound.
