THUD!

The brawny man lay on the ground face-up, blood bubbling from his mouth, unconscious. Miraculously, the muscles on his body were rapidly contracting back to their normal state, the whole process resembling a deflating balloon.

WHOOSH!

Su Xuan exhaled a long, turbid breath, shook his body slightly, and appeared uninjured. But no one saw the faint white aura that flashed briefly over his body. That was the incense energy he had accumulated, which could rapidly heal his injuries. It was also one of the trump cards that allowed him to endure a head-on clash with the brawny man.

Su Xuan did not seem to intend to let the unconscious man go. He walked over, grabbed the man's neck with his left hand, and hauled him upright. At the same time, under the icy woman's shocked gaze, his right fist smashed viciously into the brawny man's waist!

CRACK!

A sickening crack of breaking bone echoed. The man coughed up more blood.

Long Xiwén saw it all clearly, her heart almost overflowing with emotion. She knew why Su Xuan was doing this—he was honoring his promise.

I'll get vengeance for you! However he hit you, I'll hit him the same way!

Su Xuan dropped the brawny man and turned his gaze toward the icy woman. By now, she could no longer maintain her composure. Her face drained of color as she backed away under Su Xuan's stare, regarding him as if he were a monstrous beast.

It wasn't unreasonable for her to be so terrified. She came from a sect that existed above the ordinary martial world, and her martial skills surpassed those of conventional arts. Her senior brother, one of the top three fighters in her sect, had been defeated by Su Xuan. How could she not be afraid?

"Aren't you going to trade a few moves with me?" Su Xuan asked as he began to walk toward her.

The icy woman decisively turned and fled.

"You can't escape!" Su Xuan immediately gave chase.

But just as he was about to exit the alley where the restaurant was located, he witnessed an utterly bizarre scene. The woman, on the verge of escaping onto the street, suddenly stopped. She leaped onto the alley wall, and with another bound, started climbing the exterior of an adjacent building. SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH. She moved like a gecko, reaching the rooftop in the blink of an eye.

That's not something a human can do, is it? Su Xuan thought, looking up, his face filled with unconcealed astonishment.

Standing on the edge of the roof, the woman looked down at Su Xuan with equal surprise. She hadn't fled on the ground because she feared he would catch her, but she didn't think she could escape just by climbing, assuming he could do the same. She was simply trying to grasp at any sliver of hope for survival.

However, to her utter shock, Su Xuan apparently couldn't climb buildings!

He could defeat my senior brother, but he can't even perform basic wall-scaling?

The icy woman gave Su Xuan one last, deep look before disappearing over the rooftop.

At that moment, several police cars screeched to a halt at the alley's entrance. Zhong Huilan led a group of her subordinates to Su Xuan's side.

"Let Long Xiwén tell you what happened. I don't know anything," Su Xuan said before Zhong Huilan could even ask. He then pointed to the roof. "Someone climbed up there and ran away."

"Okay!" Zhong Huilan nodded. She sent a team to pursue the icy woman while she led a few people toward the restaurant, where they saw Long Xiwén and the brawny man on the ground.

"We owe Su Xuan so much yet again…" Long Xiwén said, enduring the pain as she explained the situation to Zhong Huilan. "They want to kill every member of my team because of Qi Xuan. Director Zhong, you must notify my team members immediately and tell them to be careful!"

"I will!" Zhong Huilan nodded gravely. She looked around and said in a low voice, "Hasn't anyone called an ambulance?"

"We did, we did!"

"We called when you were called."

"It should be here any second!"

The people who had been watching the fight from the restaurant had run out and immediately responded to her question.

Geng Feipeng, however, didn't dare to step out of the restaurant, too ashamed to face Long Xiwén.

I'm not a man… I'm a coward… he kept muttering to himself. His admiration for Su Xuan had reached an indescribable level. To him, Su Xuan was like a god, an existence he could never hope to match in his entire lifetime!

"Little Mosquito," Su Xuan said softly, squatting beside Long Xiwén. "Would you mind staying at Kangnai for a few days?"

Long Xiwén's mouth opened slightly. She desperately wanted to say yes. She knew Su Xuan's background; he was the owner of Kangnai, and taking her there would be a simple matter for him. However, she swallowed the words and glanced at Zhong Huilan instead.

Zhong Huilan spoke to Su Xuan, a bit embarrassed. "Xiwén was injured on the job, so it's only right that she receives the best treatment. But Kangnai's fees are very expensive, and it's not covered by our insurance or listed as one of our department's designated hospitals…"

"It's free," Su Xuan stated flatly, reaching out to carry Long Xiwén.

"Su Xuan, you should wait for the ambulance. Don't move her recklessly," Zhong Huilan advised hurriedly.

"It's okay…" Long Xiwén, having been carried by him once before, said timidly. "As long as you're careful with my waist, like last time, it'll be fine."

"Alright."

Su Xuan carefully picked up the seemingly weightless Long Xiwén, ensuring her injured waist wasn't affected in the slightest. He carried her out of the alley and gently placed her in his car. Throughout it all, she didn't make a single sound of pain; her resilience was heart-wrenching.

"Director Zhong, if you or your subordinates have any minor illnesses or injuries in the future, just go directly to Kangnai for treatment," Su Xuan said before leaving. "Mention my name when you get there, and I'll have a special arrangement set up for you. Don't worry about the cost; the rates will be comparable to a small local clinic."

Zhong Huilan and her team were so moved they were on the verge of tears. Su Xuan had just lowered the rates of the prestigious Kangnai Hospital to that of a small clinic, just for them! This was like giving them a powerful safety net, alleviating so many of their worries when on duty! They watched with gratitude as Su Xuan drove away.

Then, their gazes fell upon the brawny man lying on the ground. This guy is in a pathetic state!

After handcuffing the man and loading him into the newly arrived ambulance, Zhong Huilan began taking statements from the witnesses.

"I saw how they fought!"

"I have it on video!"

"Look, the fight was brutal!"

"It was more intense than a martial arts movie! Terrifying!"

The bystanders eagerly held up their phones, showing Zhong Huilan the videos they had taken. That night, they all committed to memory a young man who wasn't particularly tall but was incredibly handsome.

"Excuse me, are you hiring?"

"I'm not afraid of hard work or getting tired! I really want to join your team!" someone even asked Zhong Huilan.

It left her at a loss for words. They must be after the special access to Kangnai that Su Xuan offered!

「At past two in the morning」

Long Xiwén, after being meticulously treated by the renowned doctors at Kangnai, was wheeled into a luxurious hospital room by the medical staff.

"Boss, you should go home and get some rest!"

"Please rest assured, we will take excellent care of your friend!" the medical staff urged kindly when they saw Su Xuan lingering in the room.

"Su Xuan, I'm really fine now," Long Xiwén added weakly, trying to persuade him. "This injury is nothing a few days of rest can't fix. But you…"

"I'm fine," Su Xuan replied, shaking his head, his expression grim as he stared out the window.

It was as if he sensed that danger was approaching…
