Chapter 128 Can't Find the Problem
When the cause of an illness could not be found, it would appear very serious, but once the problem is identified and can be resolved, everything becomes much simpler.
The entire acupuncture process took about twenty minutes, with Liu Wentian relying on the spiritual Qi within his body to regulate Zheng Hongtao's heart meridian. Despite the obvious pain that made Zheng Hongtao's muscles tense like steel and his body tremble slightly, he still bit his teeth and did not make a sound.
After the acupuncture was finished, Liu Wentian said, "Good. Have a careful feel. Are there any more problems with your body?"
Zheng Hongtao quickly got up from under the desk, carefully felt his body, and then said with a face full of joy, "I feel like it's really much better. That oppressive feeling in my chest seems to have disappeared."
Having said that, he immediately started performing a set of military boxing. The moves were simple but the momentum was astounding, without a trace of fancy flourishes. His military boxing, which was even simpler than that taught to ordinary soldiers and police, consisted of moves hammered out through a thousand trials - each one a killer blow!
After ten minutes, Zheng Hongtao stopped, his face alight with exhilaration. He laughed heartily and punched his chest several times, as if to vent the frustration that had built up over the years.
"Great! Damn, that feels great! It's been so long since I've felt this good, the damn pain and weakness from my heart, it's finally gone!"
Zheng Hongtao howled in pain, looked at Liu Wentian gratefully, and said, "Liu Wentian, you can be assured, the matter of you crippling Wu Hai, Blood Night will take care of it for you, and you can leave Jing Ju directly now. Also, from today on, you are my, Zheng Hongtao's, benefactor. If you need my help with anything in the future, just come to me!"
In his heart, he was truly too excited. With the shackles on his heart gone, he was confident that within half a year, he could step into the Postnatal Peak Realm, and he was only thirty-six years old, in his prime. In this life, he might even have the chance to step into the King Martial Realm!
Although he could not compete with the monstrous Liu Wentian, he had once been a genius within Blood Night, only to be halted at the Charm Later Stage due to heart problems. Now that this issue was resolved, the path of his martial journey would open once again!
Therefore, his gratitude toward Liu Wentian was truly from the bottom of his heart.
Hearing Zheng Hongtao's words, Liu Wentian was somewhat surprised and asked, "You mean, I can just leave now? Without any record or going through any procedures?"
Zhao Han gave Liu Wentian a look and thought to himself that this guy really had no idea how terrifying the power of Blood Night really is.
Sure enough, upon hearing Liu Wentian's words, Zheng Hongtao scoffed disdainfully and said, "Liu Wentian, you can relax. Wu Tianhua is just a businessman. Could he dare to go against us, Blood Night? Moreover, his son is not a good egg to begin with. Given his son's past scum behavior, if Blood Night wanted, we could kill him and he would just have to accept it!"
Blood Night, in some sense, represented the nation. To have a conflict with Blood Night, one would have to seriously consider if they had the standing to do so!
Undoubtedly, Wu Tianhua did not possess such standing!!
...…
Shenming City Qinghe Orthopedic Hospital.
Wu Tianhai and his parents were at this moment in the hospital's special ward.
Wu Hai lay in bed, his limbs in casts, bellowing furiously, "Dad, you must kill Liu Wentian, you must avenge me and kill Liu Wentian!! He's turned me into a cripple; I won't rest until he's dead!"
"Exactly!! Husband, you must kill that little beast. Damn that little beast for harming my son like this!!"
By the bed, Wu Hai's mother, Yan Xueyan, yelled venomously, her body fat trembling with her voice.
From her tone, it seemed as if her son was a treasure, and it would serve others right to be killed.
Wu Tianhua's eyes gleamed fiercely as he asserted, "Don't worry. That kid will definitely not have a good ending. What I did not expect was that he has people like Bai Zhongzhou, Li Dehou, and Qin Keqing backing him. However, with all the evidence this time, there is no way that kid is getting out of jail! I'll make sure he spends his entire life behind bars!"

"Humph! That's letting him off easy!" Wu Hai still seemed unsatisfied and ground his teeth with a look as though he desperately wanted to devour Liu Wentian's flesh and drink his blood.
About his limbs, the doctor's statement was that all the bones were shattered and there was no chance of recovery; in other words, he would be a cripple for life. How could he not harbor resentment against Liu Wentian?
For someone like him, it was forever impossible to wonder why others would treat him this way; his thoughts were always fixated on how to retaliate against those who had hurt him.
"Dinglingling..."
Wu Tianhua glanced at his phone and his expression changed abruptly—it was a call from Zhao Yuwei, the city's Executive Deputy.
He answered the call, somewhat aloof, "Hello, Deputy Zhao, what do you want with me? If it's about you receiving requests from Bai Zhongzhou, Qin Keqing, and Li Dehou, asking me to not pursue Liu Wentian, then I'm sorry, that's impossible!"
On the other end of the line, Zhao Yuwei, upon hearing Wu Tianhua's cool tone, could not help but start to feel annoyed. "A mere businessman, no matter how well he's doing, when did he get the right to snub me, the Executive Deputy of the city?"
Zhao Yuwei's tone was icy, "Wu Tianhua, you've got it all wrong. I'm not here to ask you to let go of Liu Wentian; I'm here to tell you that you are not permitted to pursue him!"
"What??"
Wu Tianhua was furious, "Deputy Zhao, don't you go too far. Even though you're the Executive Deputy, if this gets out of hand, it won't be good for you either!"
Zhao Yuwei, even more enraged to hear Wu Tianhua actually threatening him, barked, "Wu Tianhua, I advise you not to be ignorant of the consequences. Do you understand who is backing Liu Wentian now?"
"Who? Bai Zhongzhou? Li Dehou? I am not afraid of them! As for Qin Keqing, the evidence this time is conclusive. No matter how powerful she is, she can't handle this!" Wu Tianhua snorted.
"Blood Night," Zhao Yuwei said flatly.
But these two calm words hit Wu Tianhua like a hammer to the chest.
"What did you say? Blood Night?" Wu Tianhua cried out in alarm, "How is that possible!"
For most ordinary people, Blood Night was just a legend, but at Wu Tianhua's level, he had come to understand that Blood Night really existed.
Although his knowledge was not extensive, he was aware that Blood Night was definitely not something he could provoke.
Facing an entity like Blood Night, no amount of money could save him from being ground to dust!
"Nothing is impossible."
Zhao Yuwei, hearing Wu Tianhua's terrified speech, sneered in his heart.
"The reason I made this call is to tell you that Blood Night has ordered you not to pursue Liu Wentian further. Otherwise, they will initiate an investigation into you. The wrongdoings you've committed over the years may not be detectable by our investigation, but what do you think the outcome would be if Blood Night gets involved?"
Instantly, Wu Tianhua broke into a cold sweat, and finally, like a defeated rooster, he drooped his head and said dejectedly, "Please convey my message to the people of Blood Night. I will not pursue this matter any further."
"Good that you understand."
With that, Zhao Yuwei hung up the phone immediately.
With an incredulous look, Wu Hai stared at his father and screamed loudly, "Dad, what are you saying? What Blood Night? There's no such thing as Blood Night in this world! You absolutely cannot let Liu Wentian off the hook!"
