Chapter 433: Let Ruan Wei Go

At this moment I was in a dilemma.

Returning to Sijiucheng, I truly couldn't protect Ruan Wei; given Wen Han's temperament, he would never leave any lingering trouble.

But not letting Ruan Wei go would be unbearable for me.

If I let Ruan Wei return south, might he betray us to the Zhou Family?

That is hard to say; no matter how useless the cursed oath is, those who would betray us in the south will still betray.

So, not letting Ruan Wei go seems correct.

I feel that letting Ruan Wei go is the right choice, because after we handed Liu Shiru over to Wen Han, what if Wen Han takes no action?

Do we fully trust Wen Han?

We must force the Zhou Family to act, so that Zhou Jie knows Liu Shiru is in Wen Han's hands; who will convey this information?

None of us are suitable, and Kong Shi wouldn't dare.

Then only Ruan Wei remains.

We need Ruan Wei to send the message to the Zhou Family, so the Zhou Family will act,

and the Zhou Family and the Wen Family will openly clash. The fiercer their battle, the more advantageous it is for me.

I pondered,

Ruan Wei's family wields great power in the south; back then Liu Shiru rose thanks to them.

Giving Ruan Wei a way out might even earn a friend.

Later, who knows when that could be useful.

I looked at Ruan Wei and said calmly,

"Ruan Wei, you really want to go south."

"Zhao Ge, I truly want to go back. Staying in the north is too terrifying. The south is safer. Zhao Ge, if you just let me,

I will forever remember your great kindness,

I will certainly repay you."

I laughed, "Ruan Wei, don't say that. Though we've known each other only a short time, you have indeed done many things for me.

When we reach Sijiucheng, I still won't be able to protect you.

You also know this is a clash between the Wen Family and the Zhou Family,

Our position in it is very difficult."

"Zhao Ge, you're right. When the two families fight, our involvement is meaningless. The Wen Family and the Zhou Family have comparable strength; their actions are evenly matched.

So, Zhao Ge, I only ask you to give me a way out; now you have the decision," Ruan Wei pleaded to me.

"Let's get on the highway; once we reach a service area, I'll decide. Because this is a desolate mountain region, letting you go could still cause trouble," I said.

Ruan Wei nodded and said, "Thank you, Zhao Ge, for the mercy of not killing me."

Shi Yong spoke from the car,

"Brother, you can't be too merciful; if you let Ruan Wei go, how will we handle his leaking information?"

"Remember, we still have Liu Shiru in custody."

"Yong Ge, I won't speak recklessly; rest assured, I won't reveal a single word of your affairs.

If I, Ruan Wei, expose any of your words, my whole family will die," Ruan Wei cursed with a poisonous oath.

"In this age, who believes a cursed oath?" Shi Yong said.

"Then how can you believe me?" Ruan Wei said with a tearful face.

"Shi Yong, this brother Ruan Wei is decent; actually he's helped us several times. In conduct, one must have a bottom line; I think we should let Ruan Wei go."

Ding Li pulled into the service area ahead. Give Ruan Wei some money and let him wait for a car at the service area," I said to Ding Li.

"Alright, Zhao Ge," Ding Li replied.

"Thank you so much, Zhao Ge. You all just trust me. If I reveal today's events, my whole family will die," Ruan Wei repeated.

Ruan Wei truly seemed to want to stay alive.

I said to Ruan Wei, "After you return south, we must keep in touch; note Ding Li's phone number.

Whatever I need you to do, you must obey me."

"Alright, Zhao Ge, these are minor matters; as long as I can do it, I will certainly do it," Ruan Wei said.

I said nothing more.

I told Ding Li to accelerate toward the highway.

After getting onto the highway, we soon arrived at a service area.

After I got off the car, I had Ding Li give Ruan Wei some money,

and he went into the service area to stay.

I glanced at Liu Shiru in the trunk; he was curled up inside like a dog.

He was still unconscious.

I used my hand to test Liu Shiru's breathing,

It was very weak.

Perhaps my fist was too heavy and smashed the kid.

If he truly dies on the road, that would be troublesome.

I said to Ding Li,

"We should go to the Provincial Capital and have Zhu Sheng find a hospital to treat Liu Shiru first.

I fear that if we rush toward Sijiucheng and he dies midway, it would be a problem."

"If he dies, he dies; a hundred people like him aren't worth mourning. You place him with Ruan Wei, then also treat Liu Shiru—brother, I really can't figure it out," Shi Yong complained.

Regarding Shi Yong's complaint, I just smiled.

"Shi Yong, Liu Shiru's death is of no benefit to us.

Yes, such a person is not worth lamenting, but he is valuable.

Our affairs all depend on him turning the tide."

"What can he possibly turn? I see the way you operate—it's a tangled hassle,

Zhou Family is his backing, Wen Family is ours; each side brings people, arranges a duel, one bout decides who wins. How simple," Shi Yong nagged.

"Enough, Shi Yong, stop talking, you'll die. Say less, let's get in the car and go," I hurriedly said.

Because I feared someone might hear something about the Zhou Family or Wen Family.

The three of us got back into the car.

I pulled out my phone and found Zhu Sheng's number,

I began contacting Zhu Sheng,

"Zhu Sheng, this is Jianqiang. We've already got Liu Shiru in our grasp."

"Really, that's great, the fight was fought beautifully," Zhu Sheng said happily over the phone.

"Zhu Sheng, I beat Liu Shiru up, I'm afraid he won't make it to Sijiucheng,

I plan to exit the highway at Provincial Capital, then find a hospital for Liu Shiru's treatment."

"Oh, you threw such a heavy punch, I'll contact a hospital right away," Zhu Sheng said.

"My grudge against him is too deep. So I couldn't hold back," I said.

"Alright, go straight to the City Third Hospital. Xiao Long and I will wait for you there," Zhu Sheng said.

"Okay, Zhu Sheng," I hung up.

"Ding Li, exit the highway from Provincial Capital, we head to the City Third Hospital," I told Ding Li.

"Alright, Zhao Ge," Ding Li replied.

In less than three hours, we left the highway and arrived directly at Provincial Capital's City Third Hospital.

When we reached the City Third Hospital, it was already midnight.

Xiao Long and Zhu Sheng were waiting for us at the entrance of the City Third Hospital.

Ding Li had just parked the car when Zhu Sheng ran over,

"Jianqiang, where is he?"

I quickly got out of the car and opened the trunk,

Inside the trunk, Liu Shiru was still curled up like a dog,

His body was still bleeding, already seeping out of the car.

I smashed whatever part of him, damn it, I didn't feel it.

I forcefully pulled Liu Shiru out of the trunk.

By then Liu Shiru's face had swollen into a pig's head.

And his head was still bleeding.

Zhu Sheng looked at Liu Shiru's miserable state,

and said to me, "Jianqiang, you were too ruthless.

Hurry and send him to the ICU for rescue."

Xiao Long came over to help; we got Liu Shiru onto a handcart.

Pushed toward the emergency room.

I truly feared Liu Shiru would die here; that would be too costly.

I really should have restrained my emotions then.

Fortunately, Zhu Sheng had already arranged a surgeon, and they quickly began rescuing Liu Shiru.

In total they rescued him for over four hours, finally pulling Liu Shiru back to life.
