Capítulo 1718: Chapter 1919: Boss Zhu Has Awakened!
The bodyguard ready to attack Hao Jian with a knife was covering his face with a look of pain, while the other bodyguards, seeing Hao Jian’s skills, were looking at each other in disbelief, unwilling to be the first to attack him as an open target, all waiting for soone else to act first.
But suddenly, Mrs. Zhu shot them a piercing glance, making it clear that if they hesitated any longer, she would severely punish them. So, with a nod, everyone moved simultaneously, launching an attack on Hao Jian.
They realized they had underestimated Hao Jian, who had resisted them, but now they dared not take him lightly. With full force, they attacked, not believing that even under the assault of seven or eight people at once, Hao Jian could withstand it.
Even the Daluo Immortal would likely be defeated in such a situation.
However, Hao Jian rely smiled slightly and stood his ground, shaking his head in an expression of helplessness as the group advanced against him. He had warned them, yet they seed oblivious to the situation. Suddenly, his expression hardened, picking up his knife against them seed too oppressive, so he threw the knife to the ground and struck out with his fists, each punch knocking a person down.
Hao Jian’s speed was exceptionally fast; even though all eight reacted simultaneously, they couldn’t match his speed. Each punch landed solidly, honed from countless life-and-death encounters, a blow powerful enough to kill. Even exercising restraint, his punch still knocked them to the ground.
The eight simultaneously attacked, but Hao Jian was one step slower to move, and then the sound of “crack!” “crack!” “…” of breaking bones echoed, followed by the collapse of seven or eight onto the ground, writhing in agony.
Everyone witnessing the scene was dumbfounded. One person, defeating eight? Although Hao Jian appeared to be an ordinary young man, and the opponents were eight trained professional bodyguards, this… They found it hard to believe but couldn’t deny the evidence before them, leaving them speechless with wide eyes on Hao Jian.
At this mont, Hao Jian walked towards the bodyguard who had wielded a knife against him. Seeing Hao Jian approach, the bodyguard’s face turned pale with fear, still clutching the cut on his face inflicted by Hao Jian, retreating repeatedly in terror.
Hao Jian continued to close in on him, glancing back at the dagger. His earlier move had been precise, leaving him no chance, fully intending to end his life. However, these bodyguards had no personal grudges against him, naturally wouldn’t execute such ruthless acts; they were following Mrs. Zhu’s commands. Yet he had no enmity with Mrs. Zhu, at most disrupting her plans, leading to resentnt, but not to the extent of claiming his life.
Thinking this, Hao Jian’s face showed suspicion. But ultimately, he attributed it to Mrs. Zhu’s ruthless deanor, considering she could even turn harsh against a husband she shared a bed with for years; what did he, a stranger, amount to? Thus, this suspicion unraveled.
Hao Jian suddenly picked up the dagger and tossed it in front of the bodyguard, causing the bodyguard to shiver in fear, not daring to pick it up, even fearing to look at it.
They were professionally trained, differing from ordinary people’s viewpoints on skills, understanding Hao Jian’s strength after a few exchanges, knowing they couldn’t match him. Now, they were terrified he might vent his frustration on them. The knife-wielding bodyguard, whose face was slashed by Hao Jian, was particularly pale with fright.
Hao Jian smiled, silent, never offering kindness to those who sought his life.
At this mont, hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from the doorway. Hao Jian looked up to see a large group of people dressed as bodyguards flooded in, exchanging glances with Mrs. Zhu, making it clear she had summoned them. Their purpose was to deal with Hao Jian.
Seeing this, Hao Jian smiled quietly; he hadn’t expected Mrs. Zhu to wield such considerable influence, one move after another, nothing like a helpless woman.
As Hao Jian pondered this, Mrs. Zhu’s face suddenly darkened, and she pointed at Hao Jian, angrily commanded: “What are you standing there for? Catch him for ! Or else believe I’ll directly fire you!”
Those weren’t bodyguards she had paid off, so she needed to use a more authoritative tone, or her words wouldn’t hold, as they answered directly to Boss Zhu, often staying close to him, unlike her loyal purchased bodyguards.
However, her words evidently took effect; hearing about being dismissed, each person prepared eagerly, glaring at Hao Jian nacingly while approaching him aggressively.
A crowd of more than ten was ready to attack Hao Jian, the imposing deanor of more than ten burly n advancing towards him was overwhelming. Hao Jian saw this and smiled again, realizing though wealth breeds caution, Boss Zhu and Mrs. Zhu were overly fearful, hiring so many bodyguards which genuinely surprised him.
However, thinking about it, these ten-odd strong bodyguards walked towards Hao Jian. If the bodyguards sitting on the ground got up and joined in, there would be more than twenty of them. According to a normal person’s understanding, Hao Jian had no chance of winning at all.
But, just as these bodyguards approached Hao Jian, ready to make a move, an extrely familiar voice suddenly ca from behind Hao Jian.
“How dare you! Step back, all of you!”
Everyone turned to look towards the source of the voice, and saw Boss Zhu, who was supposed to be unconscious, now being helped up by his daughter, sitting on the bed. He looked at the bodyguards with anger and seriousness.
Everyone had looks of surprise on their faces. They had seen Boss Zhu’s condition firsthand earlier. Logically speaking, with such an illness, even though Hao Jian temporarily cured him, he should still be in a coma, needing at least ten days to half a month to recover, aided by precious dicines like Ginseng and bird’s nest.
But now, after just a few minutes, he was already sitting up—even if supported—speaking and behaving as usual. Could he recover from such a severe illness so quickly? Everyone looked at Hao Jian with astonishnt.
Earlier, they had been puzzled as to why Boss Zhu refused to go to the hospital, insisting on a young man treating him. Now, it was all clear: this young man had miraculous dical skills, a divine intervention.
Of course, the most surprised was Mrs. Zhu. She knew best the severity of the insect venom; even if expelled, it had been in Boss Zhu’s body for so ti. He should have expected a long coma, a period she could exploit.
But now, Boss Zhu was awake, which left her speechless with shock.
Initially, those bodyguards planned to act on Mrs. Zhu’s orders against Hao Jian. But now, Boss Zhu’s words made them halt imdiately, too scared to move. After all, their real employer was Boss Zhu, and his words were like a royal decree to them.
Boss Zhu woke up and with just one sentence, he changed the situation, solving all problems without Hao Jian needing to act.
Director Wang saw this and his previous worry vanished, replaced with joy, as he walked towards Boss Zhu. Boss Wang and Boss Chen felt the sa; the anxiety they had transford into happiness.
However, Mrs. Zhu, who had previously adamantly blocked Hao Jian from treating Boss Zhu, had a drastically changed expression and deanor, suddenly showing joy as if thrilled by Boss Zhu’s recovery.
She hurried in front of Director Wang, rudely pushed her daughter aside, sat on the bed, and joyfully said to Boss Zhu, “Old Zhu, you’re finally awake, I’ve been so worried.”
Saying this, she shed tears emotionally, even wiped them away with her hand. Witnessing this, if Hao Jian didn’t know the truth, he’d likely be moved by her performance. However, knowing the truth, he was just impressed by her acting skills.
While everyone thought it was a happy ending, Boss Zhu’s expression changed dramatically. As Mrs. Zhu clung to his hand, he forcefully shoved her away, without the slightest gentleness.
Everyone had bewildered expressions, except for the few who already guessed the truth, and thus remained calm.
Boss Zhu angrily glared at Mrs. Zhu, realizing firsthand the truth of the saying ‘the most poisonous woman’s heart’.
Though he was unconscious, his mind was clear, aware of everything happening around him.
Mrs. Zhu thought Boss Zhu wouldn’t recover, acting without concealnt. He sensed sothing was amiss but felt guilty towards her, wanting to treat her doubly well. So, he had no hesitation towards what she asked him to consu.
