Chapter 598: Trap


    <em>Smack!</em>


    One of the nurses swung his baton toward Li Huowang’s arm. The attack was so powerful that Li Huowang''s arm swelled just a few seconds after getting hit, but Li Huowang didn''t react much to it.


    Li Huowang put his arms together and charged at one of therge-framed nurses. He collided with the nurse’s chest, and thetter almost fainted from the pain.


    One of the nurses charged at Li Huowang and hugged him from behind. Before the nurse could do anything, his ring finger was twisted and bent by Li Huowang.


    "AAAAAAAAH!” the nurse let out a shrill cry in response to the extreme pain.


    Li Huowang was handcuffed, but it looked like he had the upper hand against sixrge-framed nurses.


    Taking advantage of the battle''s brief pause, Li Huowang appeared behind one of the nurses and wrapped the chain links of his handcuffs around thetter''s neck.


    Upon suppressing the nurse, Li Huowang decisively tore off a chunk of the nurse''s skin on his neck, revealing an artery beneath it.


    Li Huowang red at everyone with a bloody mouth.The gory scene shocked every single nurse in the room. They had never thought that Li Huowang could still fight so well, despite being in handcuffs.


    No one dared to move. They were here to earn some money for themselves, and none of them was willing to lose their life working for the hospital.


    “Bring Wu Cheng here, or I will kill this man,” Li Huowang said, cing his teeth on the nurse’s pulsing artery.


    “Stop! Don’t be rash! I''ll go and look for Doctor Wu! Don’t do anything stupid!” one of the nurses eximed and ran out of the room to look for Wu Cheng.


    Li Huowang didn’t want to do this, but he had no choice. Since he couldn''t go about it in a diplomatic way, then he could only use force.


    During the downtime, Li Huowang pondered carefully over his next course of action. What he had done tonight would spell endless trouble for him, but he had no choice.


    He had to do something, or he''d find himself in a trap.


    Frantic footsteps echoed from outside the room as Wu Cheng and a group of nurses soon made their way into Li Huowang''s room.


    When Wu Cheng saw Li Huowang’s scary and bloody appearance, he turned to his colleagues and whispered, “I was right. The patient in Room Sixteen isn''t cured yet; he was simply in remission. A little prodding is enough for his illness to rpse, so he can''t be considered cured.”


    Li Huowang knew that there was no point in telling everyone that Wu Cheng was harming him rather than treating him.


    After all, he was just a patient, so no one would believe him. They would certainly believe Wu Cheng and think that Li Huowang was ill once again.


    In other words, Li Huowang needed to find someone to vouch for him.


    “Wu Cheng, give me your phone! I need to call Yi Doni!” Li Huowang shouted.


    “All right, I will give you a phone. Don’t do anything rash.” Wu Cheng took out a phone and unlocked it before walking over to Li Huowang.


    Li Huowang raised his guard up, afraid that Wu Cheng would do something to him.


    However, Wu Cheng couldn’t do anything right now. He ced the phone in Li Huowang’s arms before walking away.


    Li Huowang sighed and opened up the phone''s contact list to look for Yi Doni’s number.


    When Li Huowang tapped on Yi Doni''s name on the screen, the phone''s disy abruptly went out, and a strong electrical current shot out from the metallic case of the phone, electrocuting both Li Huowang and the nurse.


    <em>This is all a trap! And Wu Cheng doesn''t want Yi Doni to know the truth!</em>


    Li Huowang tried to let go of the phone, but his fingers seemed like they were glued to it. He couldn’t let go of it at all.


    Presented by an opportunity, the nurses behind Wu Cheng charged at Li Huowang.


    They useds, military forks, and even sedatives to suppress Li Huowang.


    Li Huowang''s expression went nk, and his consciousness dimmed as the yellow-colored sedatives coursed through him through his veins.


    Thest thing he saw was Wu Cheng walking up to him with a smile.

    “Raise~ You must’ve said something wrong~ Or the mother and son wouldn’t have argued~ Now the third aunt is crying alone in the room~”


    Lu Zhuangyuan d in a silk brocade was sitting on his chair and was listening to the performance on the stage with his eyes closed.


    His life had gotten significantly better, but he wasn''t enjoying it for some reason.


    Lu Zhuangyuan abruptly sat up and roared, “Wait! That''s wrong! Why is your pitch so high at the end? What? That’s how you''ve been singing that part? I don’t care! I''ve be your boss, so you must follow me!”


    The performers performed for four hours on the stage, and Lu Zhuangyuan for half of the time.


    When Lu Zhuangyuan left for lunch, the performers sighed in relief.


    Lu Zhuangyuan walked out of the theater with his youngest grandson in his arms.


    Since he was living a different life now, he no longer needed to be humble. He walked down the streets with his grandson in his arms and with his chest puffed out. He was no longer a despicable performer.


    “Ai~ This is the life of the Immortals. Oh my dear Mei~ You’ve died too young. If you hadn''t died two years ago, you would have enjoyed this life with me.”


    Lu Zhuangyuan entered the house, which was given to him as a gift, and he saw his eldest daughter-inw sitting on a chair.


    The table beside her was filled with snacks and cakes, and there were two maids waiting on her. One of the maids was massaging her legs while the other was massaging her back.


    Lu Zhuangyuan frowned and said, “Who told you to hire maids? Don’t you know how expensive they are? We''re going to have lunch soon, so why are there so many snacks? Can you even finish these snacks by yourself? You''re just wasting money here!”


    “Dad, the money we are earning is meant to be spent. I''ve never had a day in peace ever since I married into the Lu Family. I’ve been traveling with you through the wilderness and prairies for so long, and we''ve finally gotten our lucky break. We can finally enjoy the money that we''re earning, but you still want us to be so frugal?”


    After giving birth to a son, Luo Juanhua became bolder and defiant.


    “Enjoy? You''re wasting money instead of enjoying it! I want you to fire these maids!”


    "Father, Juan..." Lu Juren chimed in, "Stop arguing, all right? Come here, and let''s eat."


    However, Lu Zhuangyuan was stillining even amidst their lunch. Afterining about how there were too many dishes, he startedining about how oily the food was.


    Once Lu Zhuangyuan had left, Luo Juanhua turned to her husband and grumbled, “What’s wrong with Father these days? Why has he been so annoying recently?”


    Lu Zhuangyuan stared at his father’s back while eating his meal. “He’s been working hard throughout his entire life, and he suddenly doesn''t have to work so hard anymore. I think he still can''t get used to the feeling of doing nothing.”
