Chapter 207: Hand Tide
Zhang Nianzu brought Asan and Li Changgui to the teahouse behind the park. They learned about Ono Taro's residence from Chiang Kai-shek.
When they reached the stairs, a younger brother stopped them and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "We want to see Ono Taro."
The younger brother shouted, "Search first!"
Ah San asked, "Why?"
The younger brother sneered, "Boss, do you think you can just meet him casually? What if you have a gun and an axe on you?"
Li Changgui said with joy: "That's great!"
Ah San asked, "What do you mean, Uncle San?"
Li Changgui said: "He wants to search us, which means Ono Taro is upstairs!"
Ah San clapped his hands and said, "Yes!" He asked doubtfully, "Should we let him search or not?" Although Ah San was reckless, he had heard that "impatience can ruin great plans."
Zhang Nianzu said lazily: "Since the real master is up there, is this necessary?"
Ah San was very quick to understand and pressed the little brother against the wall. Although he didn't use much force, the little brother felt like he was being pressed down by an elephant and couldn't help but shouting, "There's an assassin!"
Li Changgui had already rushed upstairs and searched the rooms one by one. After a round, he found that no one was upstairs. He spread his hands towards Zhang Nianzu.
Zhang Nianzu had no choice but to pat his younger brother on the face and said, "Where's your boss? We don't want to do anything to him, we just want to ask him one thing."
The younger brother bared his teeth and said, "I don't believe you!"
"How dare you talk back!" Asan exerted a little force, and the younger brother immediately started howling like a ghost.
Zhang Nianzu motioned for Ah San to let go, and then said, "I'm telling the truth, we don't have any weapons." He patted his clothes. Ah San even turned out all his pockets.
Li Changgui said: "We don't need to bring weapons if we want to kill anyone."
The younger brother's arrogance was completely gone, and he said tremblingly: "The boss just left ten minutes before you came."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "Where did you go?"
"How would I know? Would the boss tell me where he's going?"
Ah San broke off the stair railings one by one and threatened, "Really?"
"How dare I lie to you at this time—" the younger brother said with a sad face, "Today is full of strange things. Those without guns are more vicious than those with guns!"
Li Changgui asked: "What do you mean?"
"Just now, a guy came with such a big gun (gesturing with his hands), and also came to look for our boss..."
Zhang Nianzu asked, "The Japanese were taken away by this man?"
The younger brother said, "No, this guy looked very happy, but later on, I don't know how he got into a fight with the Japanese bodyguard under the boss, and the bodyguard was sent to the hospital."
Zhang Nianzu immediately asked, "Long Taiquan Saburo?"
The younger brother said, "Yes, that's him."
Ah San said: "Is the person you are talking about very skilled?" He knew that Long Taiquan Saburo was considered a top master among ordinary people.
The younger brother said, "I didn't see what happened inside, but the Japanese bodyguard was poisoned by a snake and was sent for emergency treatment."
Zhang Nianzu and the others looked at each other, and Li Changgui whispered, "Long Taiquan Saburo is Ono Taro's confidant, so it will be the same if we find him."
Zhang Nianzu asked his younger brother again: "Which hospital was the bodyguard sent to?"
The younger brother shook his hands: "I don't know even more about that."
Ah San raised his hand and said, "Then what use do I have for you?"
The younger brother wanted to cry but had no tears: "It's not like I went to look for you guys!"
Li Changgui asked: "Why would a good Chinese like you be a lackey for the Japanese?"
This time, the younger brother said without hesitation: "Because he pays me in RMB. I don't care if they are Japanese or Americans, Chairman Mao is the real love!"
Li Changgui was so angry that he laughed: "You are a fucking genius!"
Zhang Nianzu said: "There is no time to lose, let's go find Long Taiquan Saburo right away."
Ah San said: "But there are so many hospitals in the city..."
Zhang Nianzu took out his phone and called Xu Yingdong, asking, "If someone is bitten by a snake, which hospital should they be sent to?"
Xu Yingdong asked: "Were you bitten by a snake?"
Zhang Nianzu said vaguely: "Well..." He didn't have time to explain too much to Xu Yingdong.
Xu Yingdong said: " Let's try sending it to a pet hospital."
"What did you say?"
Xu Yingdong said slowly, "You are half-vulnerable. No matter how strong the snake venom is, it can't do anything to you. But the snake that bit you is probably in serious condition. If you don't want it to die, take it to the veterinary hospital immediately. Maybe the doctors there can help."
Zhang Nianzu said helplessly: "What if it's an ordinary person?"
Xu Yingdong said: "Only the Army Hospital in this city has serum."
"...Can you please stop ?"
Xu Yingdong said disdainfully: "You didn't explain yourself clearly." Then he hung up the phone.
Zhang Nianzu waved his hand and said, "Let's go to the Army Hospital."
The three of them rushed to the Army Hospital and soon found out that the second floor was where the serum was injected. Being bitten by a snake in a city of reinforced concrete was rare, so it was not difficult to find out. But when they went up to the second floor, they found that there were rows of wards. It was . Li Changgui was about to send Ah San to find out again when he heard someone in the ward in front shout "Baga!"
The three of them stood at the door and looked out, and saw Long Taiquan Saburo leaning against the bed, scolding the young nurse who was giving him an injection and infusion. It turned out that the new nurse had a clumsy hand and failed to insert the needle the first time, and she was scolded and was about to cry.
Zhang Nianzu walked to the bedside of Long Taiquan Saburo and said with a half-smile, "Are you here to show off again?"
When Long Taiquan Saburo saw that it was them, he was also surprised and was about to jump to the ground. He had suffered a lot at the hands of Ah Si, and at this time he still held out a glimmer of hope. However, when Ah San pressed on his chest, he realized that the person coming was at the same combat level as Ah Si, and he couldn't help but groan inwardly.
After the second stitch was done on the small hand guard, she loosened the rubber band and turned to leave. Li Changgui stopped her and asked, "Will this man die again?"
The little guard said unhappily: "The serum has been injected, there is no danger to life."
Li Changgui said to Long Taiquan Saburo: "Since you can't die, then come with us."
Long Taiquan Saburo gritted his teeth and punched Ah San in the face without saying anything. Ah San grabbed his fist like he was chasing away Cang Yi and put it back on the bed, saying like coaxing a child, "Be good."
Long Taiquan Saburo's mouth was like it was filled with coptis, and he said bitterly, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Nianzu said: "Take us to find Ono Taro."
Long Taiquan Saburo said pitifully: "But I am still a patient, can you let me finish this bottle of fluid?"
Without waiting for Zhang Nianzu to say anything, Asan picked up the liquid bottle with one hand and held the needle with the other hand and said, "Time waits for no one, just keep infusing while you walk." He didn't control his hand well and broke the needle. Half of the needle was still on the back of Long Taiquan Saburo's hand, and the liquid dripped onto the ground along the broken syringe.
"Oh, sorry." Ah San apologized, "I'll ask the nurse to give you another injection."
"No!" Long Taiquan Saburo said in horror.
"Oh, yes, her skills are not good." Ah San said while holding the blunt needle, "Let me give you the injection."
Long Taiquan Saburo pushed his hand away and stood on the ground. He looked sad but not hurt. He said calmly, "I'll go with you."
