The evil consequence of a frog wishing to eat the meat of a swan

A crimson sports car quickly came into view of w.a.n.g Chao’s sight. The sports car seemed to be hesitating as if the driver was on the lookout for something. But when the driver saw w.a.n.g Chao, it immediately revved towards him as fast as lightning before coming to a stop right next to him. The matter in which is came to a swerve right next to him was a testament to the driver’s skill at driving.

The car door opened with Zhang Tong walking out.

“How did you get yourself in such a state, get in the car!” Seeing just how b.l.o.o.d.y w.a.n.g Chao was, Zhang Tong had cried out in shock once more. But after seeing just how clear headed w.a.n.g Chao was still, she began to calm down a bit.

But w.a.n.g Chao was starting to feel his vision blur up and his entire body go numb. All he wanted to do right now was to sit down on the ground and sleep. He had lost far too much blood and was growing far too fatigued, but he knew that if he were to go to sleep, there was a chance he would not wake up.

He had been slashed at four times: once in the back, twice in the arms, and once in the shoulder. All of the wounds were large and deep, and even for a body like his would not be able to handle it.

“Alright!” w.a.n.g Chao’s voice was growing hoa.r.s.e before putting the phone back onto the fainted girl’s hand. Grabbing a handful of snow, he pressed it against the girl’s face, causing her to wake out of her stupor with some shock.

Seeing her starting to wake, w.a.n.g Chao immediately got into Zhang Tong’s car. The interior of the car was rather warm with the air conditioning suiting the temperature quite nicely. There was also a nice fragrance within the car, clearly indicating the drastic contrast to the snowy outside.

The originally tense atmosphere had loosened as w.a.n.g Chao began to rejoice silently to himself on escaping death.

Shua! Seeing w.a.n.g Chao get into the car, she immediately floored it.

“Can you handle things for now?” Zhang Tong asked with worry.

“There’s no problem.” w.a.n.g Chao hissed out the words as he tried to stay perfectly still. Hearing his response, Zhang Tong didn’t ask anymore questions and focused on the road instead. After gliding across the roads, she had finally came to a stop at a large-scaled hospital.

Her three bodyguards were already waiting for her along with a golden-framed middle aged man. w.a.n.g Chao knew this man instantly, he was the lawyer of Zhang Tong’s company.

Aside from these four, there were also a small group of nurses and doctors waiting with an ambulance.

Upon seeing the car, the entire group surrounded it and the bodyguards immediately took out w.a.n.g Chao before placing him on an ambulance for the emergency room.

As he was subjected to this treatment, w.a.n.g Chao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He was extremely light-headed because of the blood loss and had lost a lot of his strength temporarily, but it wasn’t extremely serious yet.

But he didn’t want to make a single move. Since there was no harm, he would follow their directions.

At that moment, the doctors within the ambulance with w.a.n.g Chao had noticed something peculiar with his body and began to show doubt within their eyes. Seeing this, the lawyer took out several bribes and slipped it within the doctor’s’ pockets. Immediately, these doctors all slackened while growing serious in the face as if to get rid of the notion that w.a.n.g Chao was not an ordinary person.

“Zhang Tong is quite powerful. It hasn’t even been an hour and she has already planned everything out. I owe her big this time, who knows when I’ll be able to treat her back.”

When he had made the phone call, w.a.n.g Chao had thought about which friend to call.

He had only had so many contacts: Li Wanji was his boss, so even though he had been attacked, he couldn’t call her.

Zhao Xinglong, Yao Xiaoxue and the others were of no use in this case. On the contrary, they would had made the situation worse if they called the police. w.a.n.g Chao had killed several people after all, making this case troublesome for even him.

Cao Yi was in C City and was also the chief of the public safety bureau with an ident.i.ty as mysterious as the water was deep–there was no consideration at all to not call him. As for Zhu Jia, he had thought that it wouldn’t do for a high-status woman like her to charge the streets if he wanted her to avoid the whispers of people that wished to do her harm. After all, her relationship with him was one thing professionally, the ambiguous relationship they had personally was another.

Just like that, Zhang Tong was the only one that remained from process of elimination.

After reaching the emergency room, the doctors had sprung into action. One began to administer anesthesia as another began to sterilize and suture the wound close. Two more began to ready the blood packets to transfuse blood and apply medicine.

After a few frantic hours, the operation had finally finished. After admitting w.a.n.g Chao to a VIP ward, he had several bodyguards placed there on the outside.

Experiencing such a treatment, w.a.n.g Chao felt as if he was a Daoist Immortal. Within the safety of the hospital bed, he could finally sleep.

At the daybreak of the second day, w.a.n.g Chao awoken from his slumber. He could feel the local anesthesia already wearing off, making movements quite painful. His back was most especially difficult to move.

“Looks like my wounds are worse than I thought. It’s a good thing those axes weren’t sharp at the point and could only chop and not stab. Otherwise, that would have been more problematic for me.”

w.a.n.g Chao knew that a regular criminal gang with axes would only heavily injure or handicap a person. Fighting to kill someone was an entirely different matter.

There was another reason: it would make things harder for the other party. An injured or handicapped person would make things more problematic than a dead person. These things were regularly reported on the newspaper even. Some black-hearted drivers would sooner drive over a person a second time to ensure death rather than injuring.

“It appears that these men were trying to cripple me?” w.a.n.g Chao had been attacked for no reason almost. From the situation, he would naturally try to think of who would dare.

“Which G.o.d or Buddha did I offend? They must think highly of me, otherwise, why would they have hired a group of disciplined axe wielders? This is getting dangerous, if I don’t figure it out and solve it soon, then my future days could be numbered!” w.a.n.g Chao began to try and guess which person he had offended.

“Li Feng from the dojo? That guy doesn’t have that much power. I think I heard Li Wanji say that he returned to Korea in order to train. Perhaps it was that guy from the Chenshi Corporation, Chen Wuyang or the trafficker of drugs, Lin Lijun? Those can’t be it. Chen Wuyang was killed by Cao Yi and Lin Lijun was annihilated in the raid. All those can’t be traced back to me, so who could it be…”

Suddenly, a single face appeared in w.a.n.g Chao’s mind from the conference a half year ago. The second son of governor Zhao.

“Could it be him? Is this the evil consequence of being a shield for Zhu Jia? What a guy, how unforgiving he is. It’s been half a year before he finally set out against me. Did he search for my ident.i.ty during that half year? I’m afraid my head is a little too big to collect. After making that plan, it is time to endure then.”

After thinking back to the half year where business was good and his frequent meetings with Zhu Jia, these two events would certainly harbor evil thoughts.

After that thinking process, w.a.n.g Chao was about 80% sure that it was Zhao Jun that was related to this.

“Zhu Jia, ah Zhu Jia, I may be a frog, but I have no wish to eat the meat of a swan. But in the end, the end result was the same.” w.a.n.g Chao thought, “Whether it was Zhao Jun or not, I have to make sure. I’ll need to see what resources he has and make sure I ask the people within Zhu Jia’s social circle.”

TL Note: Frog eating the meat of a swan is an idiom meaning for an ugly guy to marry a beautiful girl.

After this, w.a.n.g Chao called out for the bodyguard standing out front and asked for her cellphone. Then propping his body up, he began to dial in Zhu Jia’s number.

“h.e.l.lo, Zhu Jia? It’s me, w.a.n.g Chao. I’m currently at the hospital…what’s the matter? This matter can’t be said clearly over the phone, but there’s a good chance you’re involved, why don’t you come over?”

Putting down the phone, w.a.n.g Chao let out a sigh as he thought, “If Zhao Jun is in this, then I will have to plan things out carefully from here on out.”
