Join the ServerWithin five minutes, by the time the ambulance arrived, the area around the broken utility pole was already crowded with people.
Ji Wenyan was immensely grateful that he and Bai Mengze had slipped back into the car long before the crowd gathered, sparing them the indignity of being stared at like circus animals.
He imagined the thugs scattered like flower petals in a circle, while he and Bai Mengze sat calmly in the center, completely unharmed—a stark contrast to those foaming at the mouth around them…
If he were a bystander, he’d be burning with curiosity.
“Young master, the ambulance is here. Should we head back?”
“No rush. We’ll follow the ambulance. I want to go see.”
Seeing the ambulance had arrived, when the driver asked if they should wait at home, Ji Wenyan shook his head and indicated they should follow.
If he didn’t find out who was behind this today, he wouldn’t sleep a wink.
Uncle Li, upon hearing Ji Wenyan’s instructions, didn’t say another word. He started the engine and followed the ambulance to the hospital.
Once they reached the hospital entrance, Ji Wenyan first glanced at the hospital name, then told Uncle Li to wait in the car while he and Bai Mengze quickly slipped inside.
Having followed closely, they didn’t lose track. When they arrived at the ward where the thugs were lying, the nurses and doctors had only just entered.
Ji Wenyan didn’t hesitate. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hello, Uncle Shen, I just rescued some people who were electrocuted. I’m at Xiang’ai Hospital now, but they’re not cooperating with treatment. I’m worried they might harm the hospital staff.”
“Mm, let me talk to them first. Maybe they’ll cooperate.”
“Okay, I’ll be careful. Thank you, Uncle Shen.”
After hanging up, Ji Wenyan waited a few minutes until he saw the doctors and nurses receiving calls and walking out of the ward. He immediately led Bai Mengze inside.
The hospital where the thugs were taken happened to be run by Shen Hua’s family.
This saved Ji Wenyan a lot of trouble. Now he could go in and have a proper interrogation.
In the ward, after a brief treatment, the thugs’ condition had improved significantly.
Some of the fitter ones were slowly coming to, staring blankly at the ceiling, still shaken by the terror of being electrocuted.
Among them, the thug leader, Wang Dadao, was one of those who had woken up.
He didn’t understand why he had passed out in an instant from the electric shock.
Later, after hearing the nurse describe the scene, Wang Dadao wondered: they weren’t even close to the utility pole, so how could the broken wire have knocked them out?
And if they had actually been struck by the wire, they would have been dead!
But now, they were still alive…
And where were the doctors and nurses?
Leaving before finishing treatment—how unprofessional!
“Tsk, still alive, huh?”
At that moment, a discordant voice rang out in the ward.
When the awakened thugs looked up in unison, they saw that the speaker was none other than the target they had been sent to deal with.
Seeing Ji Wenyan standing unscathed by the bedside, while they lay weak and helpless on the beds,
Wang Dadao’s face twisted with rage. If he could get out of bed, he would have beaten the high schooler senseless.
“Kid, don’t get cocky. When we’re better, you can kiss your hands goodbye!”
Ji Wenyan walked up to the blond who had spoken first, knowing he was the leader.
Hearing the angry retort, Ji Wenyan couldn’t help but smile slightly. He didn’t take their words to heart.
It was just impotent rage.
“Looks like even after being electrocuted, you still haven’t smartened up! Why don’t you use your rusty brains to figure out why the doctors and nurses suddenly left…”
When Ji Wenyan’s words hit, Wang Dadao instinctively looked around, recalling that the doctors and nurses had indeed left. His face immediately darkened.
“Kid, don’t act all high and mighty here! This is a hospital, not your home!”
“Didn’t you bother to check who I was before making a move?”
Then, seeing the other’s unease, Ji Wenyan didn’t waste more words. He took out his phone, searched on a browser, and pulled up an entertainment news page.
Noticing the photo on the page looked decently handsome, Ji Wenyan turned the screen toward Wang Dadao’s face, making sure he saw it clearly.
The headline read: ‘U City Ji Family Heir Attends Event, Receives Flowers from Admirers’…
It looked impressive, and the scene was lively.
But that admirer was a middle-aged woman, and a planted one at that… When Ji Wenyan first saw it, his mother had teased him mercilessly.
That was why Ji Wenyan refused all interviews afterward.
“Y-you… you’re…”
“That’s right. My father is Ji Wenlin, and I am Ji Wenyan.”
Staring at the phone, Wang Dadao’s expression shifted from anger to terror. He hadn’t expected Ji Wenyan’s background to be so formidable!
The name Ji Wenlin of the Ji family was thunderous in its reputation!
And now they had dared to lay a hand on Ji Wenlin’s son!
They really had a death wish!
“Don’t be scared. I’m giving you a chance now. Tell me who hired you, or else… I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”
Hearing Ji Wenyan ask about the mastermind, and seeing the earnest look on his face, Wang Dadao’s anxious heart immediately relaxed.
As long as they could be let off, they would not only rat out the employer but even beat him up themselves!
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk! It was Du Xingwen who paid us. He wanted one arm from each of you!”
Before Ji Wenyan could say another word, Wang Dadao, who had already figured things out, quickly blurted out the culprit.
