"???"
Ling Chen’s eyes widened. What kind of comprehension ability was that?
"Don't worry too much about the details!"
Chen Shu coughed, sat down beside him, and asked,
"I want to know about the person who tried to assassinate you. Did they escape or die?"
Ling Chen didn't dwell on it any longer and replied,
"After I was shot, they didn't make another move. Instead, they blended into the crowd. I didn't have my contracted spirit out, so they got away..."
"That cautious?"
Chen Shu stroked his chin. Failing to land a blow, they immediately retreated. It was indeed the mark of an assassin.
"I didn't sense any killing intent at the time. It's definitely someone from the Dark Organization!"
Ling Chen’s eyes showed a hint of lingering fear.
If he had reacted even half a second slower, he might have been dead.
"Maybe they'll come back!"
Chen Shu pondered,
Ling Chen, not yet thirty, was already a Golden Beast Tamer.
If they successfully assassinated him, they would receive a large bounty and retaliate against China. It was an excellent target.
"They won't get the chance!"
Ling Chen smiled and pointed at his contracted spirit beside him, which was ready to protect him at all times.
"Are you sure?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. His intuition as a notorious bandit told him that Ling Chen's hospital room was a bit unsafe...
"Even the most powerful armor-piercing rounds can't penetrate my contracted spirit!"
Ling Chen nodded and said, "With it here, there are no accidents!"
"Alright!"
Chen Shu considered it and admitted it made sense.
With that, he asked a few more questions, hoping to narrow down the search scope.
Unfortunately, Ling Chen didn't have any useful information...
"Now I understand why you're called Brother Ji Mao..."
Chen Shu sighed and shook his head. "You don't know anything, like a chicken feather!"
"..."
Ling Chen's lips twitched. Didn't you give me that nickname?
"Take care of yourself!"
Chen Shu shook his head and got up, preparing to leave the ward and investigate other areas.
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, no one can hurt me again!"
...
"I still need to get some information from Old Zhang."
Chen Shu arrived at the hospital entrance and decided to stake out several important areas in the capital. He was sure to find something.
Boom!
But just as he was about to leave, a violent explosion came from behind him!
"Huh?"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened. He looked back and saw black smoke rising from a part of the hospital.
"Run! Terrorist attack!"
"Oh my god, they're doing this in broad daylight?"
The crowd panicked and fled the hospital. The entire hospital was thrown into chaos.
"Could it be Ling Chen's ward?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and immediately rushed into the hospital. Soon, he arrived at the location of the black smoke.
The black smoke billowed, obscuring the specific situation.
Hospital security personnel were already managing the scene, preventing onlookers from approaching.
"What a coincidence..."
Chen Shu looked ahead, finding it utterly ridiculous.
This guy just said no one could hurt him, and then he was blown to bits by a bomb?
Fortunately, he was in a VIP ward, occupied only by him, and the building had a high level of safety, preventing the bomb from affecting others.
Chen Shu walked straight towards it but was immediately stopped.
"Unauthorized personnel, leave quickly!"
The hospital security guards had stern expressions and blocked Chen Shu's entry.
"I am the Nanjiang Bandit of the Imperial Dragon Guard!"
Chen Shu had a flash of inspiration and took out the bronze armlet he had just obtained.
"Huh?"
The security guard was stunned. Nanjiang Bandit and Imperial Dragon Guard? What kind of mixed identity was that?
Fortunately, he recognized the armlet. Even though it was bronze, its rank was higher than that of the Spirit Suppression Bureau, so he let him pass.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Shu pushed through the thick black smoke and entered the ward.
However, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't locate Ling Chen.
"Brother Ji Mao, are you still alive?"
Chen Shu looked around. The walls beside him had huge cracks.
Clearly, it wasn't an ordinary bomb...
"Damn it, isn't this framing me?"
Chen Shu shook his head. He had just left the ward, and then an explosion occurred.
Coupled with his usual behavior, it was hard not to suspect him...
There was no response from the ward. Chen Shu summoned his spatial rabbit and had it search for Ling Chen's location.
After a while, Chen Shu emerged from the ward carrying a man in tattered clothes on his back.
At this moment, several Imperial Dragon Guards wearing armlets were already standing outside the ward, looking anxious.
"Doctor, check his condition!"
Chen Shu placed Ling Chen on the ground and called for a doctor to approach.
Soon, professional medical staff stepped forward to examine Ling Chen's physical condition.
Everyone looked grave, clearly understanding that Ling Chen's identity was not simple.
After a while, the leading doctor breathed a sigh of relief and said,
"No life-threatening injuries. He sustained damage to his back, and it's suspected the bomb was under the bed!"
The doctor signaled for his staff to prepare to move him to another ward.
"Fortunately, he has a Golden-level physique, and when the explosion occurred, he must have used his contracted spirit to block most of the impact, otherwise he would be dead!"
"I told you earlier that the opponent might still target him!"
Chen Shu shook his head, but he truly hadn't expected a bomb under the bed.
"These assassins are going crazy!"
As he was thinking, Chen Shu's expression changed.
He saw that at the edge of the crowd, a nurse suddenly emitted a red glow.
Chen Shu maintained his composure. He had originally intended to apprehend her on the spot,
but he seemed to have thought of something and ultimately did not act.
He had finally found a lead, so he naturally wanted to follow it and take them down.
A moment later, the nurse, seeing Ling Chen being escorted to a new ward, calmly left the crowd.
"You guys look after Ling Chen, I have something to attend to!"
Chen Shu, maintaining his usual expression, also left the scene.
"Old Zhang, what do you think?"
The three Imperial Dragon Guards initially wanted to follow, but they felt that what Chen Shu said made some sense.
"Let's guard the captain first!"
The leading Imperial Dragon Guard made the decision.
Ling Chen was now unconscious, and if he were to be attacked again, he might be in grave danger.
A Golden Beast Tamer being threatened by ordinary people was something that only members of the Dark Organization could achieve in the entire world.
The nurse soon took off her nurse's uniform and calmly left the hospital.
Meanwhile, on a bench outside the hospital entrance, Chen Shu was waiting calmly, pretending to hold a newspaper.
"Champion Chen Shu?"
To his surprise, the other party greeted him directly.
"Huh?"
Chen Shu's lips twitched, and a strange feeling washed over him. You really are audacious!
