Chapter 432: Chapter 363: Putting the Patient in Underpants is Also a Conservative Treatment

"We’ve found the person."

The voice on the phone was Guo Koutangzi.

"Alive?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I’ve kept her alive with soup, but if she isn’t taken to the hospital immediately, she’ll still die,"

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Then get her to the hospital right away."

Though hospitals were known for their exorbitant fees, as the boss of a large bathhouse, he should be more than capable of affording the medical bills.

Otherwise, without a forced delivery mechanism like the Bloody Restaurant, hospitals couldn’t stay afloat.

"Easy for you to say, we’re surrounded by a gang in the Old City District, we can’t break through,"

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Huh? Where’s my boss?"

"It’s all Niu Ma’s fault. We were about to leave when we bumped into a gang that he had previously offended, and they’ve stopped us in our tracks."

Guo Koutangzi said bitterly.

"Uh..."

Liu Zheng didn’t know what to say.

People familiar with a place often have connections there, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse.

You could only say they and the Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse boss were both having a spot of bad luck.

"So why are you calling me?"

He asked.

If they were already fighting, Guo Koutangzi shouldn’t have time to call him.

"They said we can leave, but we have to leave Niu Ma behind,"

Guo Koutangzi said.

"That’s out of the question,"

Liu Zheng immediately refused.

No matter if Niu Ma had a way to get out or not, he couldn’t sacrifice his own boss for a stranger.

If he had to choose between sacrificing himself or Niu Ma, he’d most likely choose to sacrifice himself.

Of course, that was assuming Niu Ma didn’t betray him.

And Liu Zheng sincerely hoped he’d never see that day.

Though in a place like Metropolis, such a hope was undoubtedly a luxury.

"Then you have to help them fish someone out from the Security Department,"

Guo Koutangzi continued.

"Don’t even think about it,"

He continued to refuse.

The Nightingale had been kicked out of her nest, the novelist could barely protect himself, he had no one to turn to for help.

might have been an option, but Liu Zheng had only just asked for his help.

He was neither the man’s biological father nor his illegitimate child, so how could he presume to order him around.

"Then pay up,"

"How much?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"One million,"

"Give it,"

He said.

"They want the money now."

"Let them provide a card number, I’ll have the Ga Ga Shuang Bathhouse send the money right now."

"They said they don’t accept transfers, only cash,"

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Let my boss cover it for the time being,"

"I’ll ask."

After a moment, Guo Koutangzi’s voice rang out again.

"Niu Ma says, do you think he’s an ATM? How could he possibly have that much cash on hand."

"What about you?"

"I don’t have a big enough stomach like he does, and I certainly don’t carry that much cash on me,"

Guo Koutangzi replied.

"Do you have anything that could be pawned?"

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and then said.

"... you really don’t beat around the bush."

Guo Koutangzi said speechlessly.

"I’m already rushing over to the Old City District to save someone for you, do I really need to be this polite over such a small matter? Hurry up, or it’ll be a wasted trip if she dies."

He urged.

"I’m willing to pay, but they have to be willing to accept it,"

Guo Koutangzi said.

"Then tell them, we either make friends or we make enemies. Have them go inquire about my reputation. No matter how long it takes, no matter what their gang turns into, I will find them and blow them and their gang’s stronghold sky-high,"

Liu Zheng said coldly.

"Tch, such big talk for a mere human,"

Guo Koutangzi muttered and hung up the phone.

"Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Liu,"

The fourth brother said obsequiously.

Having witnessed the cashier’s mystery and the secretary’s grisly state, he had gained a clearer understanding of the terror of the Bloody Restaurant.

At the same time, he had gleaned some insight into Liu Zheng’s status in the Bloody Restaurant.

Despite the cashier’s seemingly unkind attitude towards Liu Zheng, even with a hint of threat in his words, that very threat was a sign of importance, just like how if the fourth brother disliked a greeter, he wouldn’t personally berate them but would find their supervisor instead.

Now that Liu Zheng had actually found the boss and saved her life, it further demonstrated his power.

The fourth brother dared not claim he’d never enter the city for the rest of his life. Establishing a good relationship now, if he encountered trouble in the city later, it might just save his life.

"It’s no trouble; I do genuinely want to work with your bathhouse. Consider this an initial investment. I’m sure Boss Yuan can appreciate my good intentions, right?"

Liu Zheng spoke in a measured tone.

"Of course, our boss might be a bit indecisive on some matters, but he’s definitely smart when it comes to business. Secretary Li and I will also root for you on the sidelines,"

The fourth brother quickly said.

"Good. Doctor, can Secretary Li be treated?"

Liu Zheng asked Dr. Nile.

"He can be treated, but my medical supplies with me are insufficient. Even if he recovers, he’ll drool. Plus, even if we take him back to my clinic for treatment, there will still be after-effects,"

"It might be better to leave him as is, and take him straight to the clinic for comprehensive treatment later,"

Dr. Nile said.

"Manager Si, what do you think?"

He looked at the fourth brother.

"Let’s follow the doctor’s advice, and hold off to see how things go,"

The fourth brother said.

By assessing the situation, he naturally meant whether the boss could be saved or not.

If she was saved, there would be no hurry to treat Secretary Li.

If she couldn’t be saved, then Secretary Li must regain the ability to act, so they could retain the most benefits amidst the changes.
