Free Web NovelChapter 292: Chapter 292: The Mysterious Xing Hua
Speaking of Xing Hua, Wen Yonglin actually used the word "eerie."
Upon hearing this, Wang Hao became even more interested and immediately focused.
"I heard about Xing Hua a long time ago, he emerges from time to time to cause trouble for Wild Bear, but his movements are always elusive, like trying to glimpse a dragon’s head but never its tail."
"Every time Wild Bear orders a roundup to capture him, Xing Hua miraculously vanishes, and then, just when Wild Bear lets down its guard, he reappears to stir up trouble."
Wen Yonglin shook his head as he spoke, believing that such a sneaky person could never bear great responsibility.
But Wang Hao didn’t see it that way.
Under the overwhelming pressure of Wild Bear’s power, this kind of persistent harassment was the best method to break down the opponent’s psychological defenses.
Wang Hao actually thought Xing Hua was a person with great strategy and foresight; otherwise, he wouldn’t have so swiftly emerged to seize territory as soon as Wild Bear suffered defeat.
"What’s the state of his forces now?"
Wang Hao asked again.
"Coming to that, I find it very strange. I knew he was always suppressed by Wild Bear and seemed to have no significant power."
"How is it that as soon as Wild Bear’s power fell, Xing Hua suddenly had so many followers and almost took over half of Zao City’s territory?"
At this point, Wen Yonglin’s eyebrows furrowed unconsciously.
As one of the three major families in Zao City, even the strongest underground forces were exposed under the scrutiny of the Wen Family
Yet this suddenly emerged Xing Hua remained highly mysterious, successfully evading all of Wen Yonglin’s networks of informants.
Wang Hao made a mental note of Xing Hua, considering that this person could likely become the biggest obstacle to the Sun brothers’ expansion in Zao City.
"Uncle Wen, I would like to visit the old girls’ dormitory at Xiangtan University tonight. Could you help me arrange that?"
Wang Hao inquired.
"Are you looking to investigate the case of the student suicide by jumping off?"
Wen Yonglin looked at Wang Hao, his expression filled with anticipation.
"I refuse to believe that ghosts and spirits truly exist in this world, but if they do, I would indeed want to see them with my own eyes! Also, I need help from your old friend to translate the ancient text on the animal hide." freēwēbnovel.com
"If I help him solve this matter, he will certainly be pleased, and when he’s pleased, he’ll translate carefully for me. But what if I do nothing and he, in a bad mood, translates carelessly?"
Wang Hao gave a wry smile, knowing there was no other choice when one needed help from someone else.
"What if there really are ghosts? Aren’t you afraid?"
Wen Yonglin asked with a smirk, though he did not actually believe in ghosts either. He just wanted to probe whether or not Wang Hao was afraid.
"I haven’t done anything wrong. What’s there to fear from ghosts?"
Wang Hao shrugged nonchalantly.
"Besides, sometimes humans are more frightening than ghosts!"
Wen Yonglin’s brow furrowed slightly, pondering the thought that this case was already a hot potato nobody understood. No one knew what the mastermind behind the scenes was up to, or where they came from.
Many would avoid this case at all costs, yet Wang Hao actively sought it out, leaving Wen Yonglin unsure whether the young man was tired of living or overly confident in his abilities.
"Wang Hao, you’d better think this through. If there really is someone behind this, and they have eluded everyone, even the police, and are still committing crimes, this person is definitely no ordinary individual!"
Wen Yong cautioned once more.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Wen, I’m just going to take a look and see if I can find anything. If I encounter any trouble, I’ll do my best to resolve it. And if that fails, I’ve got you to back me up, right?"
Wang Hao said with a smile.
Since Wang Hao was adamant about going, and considering the impressive martial skills he had previously demonstrated to Wen Yonglin, Wen Yonglin felt Wang Hao could handle the situation and agreed to make arrangements for him.
It would just take some time because he needed to inform his friend.
After a bit more casual conversation, and with nothing else to attend to for now, Wang Hao remembered Zheng Cailian should have received Ya Ya’s test results by then, so he decided to give her a call and check in.
"Cailian, how is Ya Ya?"
As soon as the call connected, Wang Hao anxiously asked.
"I don’t know the specifics, the doctor told Third Uncle something, and then he hurried us off to Zao City. We are now at Zao City People’s Hospital!"
Zheng Cailian’s voice on the phone sounded a bit hoarse, probably because she was worried about Ya Ya’s condition, knowing that Third Uncle wouldn’t have brought them to a major hospital in Zao City without good reason.
"Where is Third Uncle? Why didn’t he call me about such a big issue?"
Wang Hao, with furrowed brow, asked urgently.
"He tried calling you as soon as we got to Zao City, but he couldn’t get through!"
Zheng Cailian quickly explained.
Wang Hao thought carefully—it was likely that Wen Yonglin had installed some kind of blocking device in his study. A person like him surely wouldn’t want his conversations to be captured and broadcast by some device.
So Wang Hao’s phone couldn’t receive any signals inside, and that’s why Third Uncle’s call couldn’t get through.
They couldn’t be blamed for not telling him sooner.
"I’ll come right over, and you keep a close eye on Ya Ya. If there’s anything you need, just ask Third Uncle to help you with it!"
After advising Zheng Cailian, Wang Hao immediately asked Shen Bo to arrange for a car to take him to Zao City People’s Hospital.
At Zao City People’s Hospital, Zheng Cailian and Ya Ya anxiously waited outside the lab because Third Uncle and the doctor had gone in and hadn’t come out since.
"Mommy, I’m so hungry!"
Because of the blood test, Ya Ya had not eaten anything since waking up early in the morning, and now it was the little girl’s fourth complaint, indicating that she was truly hungry.
"Ya Ya, be good, can we hold on a little longer, okay? Once Third Uncle comes out, we’ll see if there are any other tests. If not, Mommy will take you out to eat something delicious right away. Okay?"
Zheng Cailian comforted her with empathy.
"Okay!"
Ya Ya was really well-behaved, not grumpy or fussy, and aside from looking tired, she seemed fine.
But Zheng Cailian was still very worried because she knew that Third Uncle wouldn’t have brought them to a major hospital in Zao City for tests and lab work without a reason.
"What did the results show?"
Upon seeing Third Uncle come out, Zheng Cailian hurried forward to ask about the outcome.
"The doctor said we won’t be able to get the results until tomorrow!"
Third Uncle sighed and said.
But Third Uncle knew, because the doctors at the county hospital had already informed him, that Ya Ya’s condition was quite serious now, and he needed to hurry and bring her to a major hospital for treatment.
However, waiting for these test results another day, what worried him the most was the potential delay in Ya Ya’s treatment.
"Ya Ya said she’s hungry, and I guess you haven’t eaten anything either since you brought me over. How about we go out to eat something together?"
Zhang Cailian suggested.
"Alright, I just saw there are lots of places to eat around the hospital. You guys head out first, I’ll go back and talk to the doctor, see if he can accommodate us and do Ya Ya’s tests first!"
Third Uncle was also very concerned about Ya Ya’s situation.
Since it was for Ya Ya’s health, Zheng Cailian didn’t insist any further and set out for the hospital entrance alone with Ya Ya.
People’s Hospital, being the largest and most authoritative hospital in Zao City, sees a tremendous number of patients coming for consultation and examinations every day, with the entrance teeming with patients and their families.
With such a large volume of people, minor bumps and collisions occasionally happen.
In that extremely crowded situation, Zheng Cailian was leading Ya Ya to the hospital entrance when suddenly a luxury car came barreling towards them...
