Chapter 62
Chapter 62
Because the main road was blocked, the car had to take a detour.
Along the way, the injured bodyguard, Ah Hu, stared at Gu Bai. He was no longer laughing and gritting his teeth. He wanted to rush up and kill him, but he was afraid of his boss and did not dare to. He was furious.
Gu Bai did not argue with him. He could understand the bodyguard's feelings. If he had his hand chopped off, he would have done the same. He could not quarrel with someone who had lost his cool.
Ignoring the angry bodyguard, Gu Bai suppressed the matter of the demon energy and continued to worm his way into the man's good books.
The man's expression was inexplicable and his attitude was not warm, but he could feel that the man was not angry with him because of the bodyguard.
Instead, he could tell that the man did not reject his request for help and protection. Although it was the first time they met, the feelings of being together for so many worlds stayed in the man's soul. It was enough for the man not to hurt him.
It wasn't too far from the hotel that the man had mentioned. It only took about ten minutes. Gu Bai used all his skills and finally managed to get the man's name when they arrived at the hotel. Xiao Li. The name sounded as cold and domineering as he was!
After getting the man's name, Gu Bai's mood instantly improved. Even when he got out of the car, he clung to the man's hand and did not let go. The man did not chase him away.
Although the man's face was expressionless, Ah Hu, the bodyguard, had been by his side for many years and knew his temper very well. The boss had a very cold temper and was difficult for ordinary people to get close to.
He did not expect that not only did this brat get close to him, but the boss did not chase him away and even protected him. Could it be that the boss, who had always been cold, had taken a liking to this brat?!
Ah Hu was furious at the thought of it. He glared at Gu Bai with reddened eyes.
"Big brother, don't glare at me first. Maybe you will thank me later …"
Gu Bai was helpless under his constant glare. He could not help but say this. As a result, the man was so angry that his eyes turned red and he almost lost his mind. He was held back by the other bodyguard beside him.
Gu Bai sighed and met Xiao Li's helpless gaze. He blinked and chuckled, gesturing for Xiao Li to shut his mouth.
After entering the hotel, Xiao Li did not check in. Instead, he was led to a private elevator by the manager who greeted him respectfully. Judging from the way the manager addressed him as' boss', this luxurious hotel in the city center was one of his businesses.
Soon, Gu Bai arrived at the presidential suite on the 26th floor of the hotel in a private elevator. This room was reserved for the boss, who usually did not receive guests.
The suite had three bedrooms, a sports room, a recreation room, a meeting room, a private garden with an area of 300 square meters, an outdoor swimming pool, a massage pool, and so on. It was very luxurious.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Li made a phone call and called his personal doctor over to rebandage Ah Hu's wounds.
Ah Hu's broken hand could not be reconnected. It was better to let his private doctor treat it first if he went to the hospital now. His doctor was better and more reliable in dealing with these injuries.
The private doctor was a gentle man in his thirties. After he came in, he did not say a word of nonsense and immediately started working. He waited until he finished bandaging Ah Hu's wounds before he spoke.
"Ah Hu, your wound was cut well. Look at the smoothness of the cut. It was definitely a fast, accurate, and ruthless cut. This kind of skill can't be achieved without eight to ten years of practice. And you didn't bleed much. The person who injured you can be called a martial arts master …"
Unlike his gentle appearance, the private doctor was not serious when he opened his mouth. With just a few words, Ah Hu's anger was ignited again.
For the time being, he could not do anything to Gu Bai. He could only glare at him and then speak to the doctor with a bitter face.
"Brother Liu, don't tease me. Aren't you a medical elite from the sea turtle?
You can cure a tumor in someone's head. Can you help me see if my hand can be reconnected?
I even brought back the broken hand … "
"He can't reconnect …"
Without waiting for Doctor Liu to speak, Gu Bai provoked him again.
"Shut up!"
Ah Hu's face turned red. He was so angry that he had the urge to beat him to death. He had seen arrogant people, but he had never seen someone so indifferent after injuring someone!
Xiao Li also looked at him with an unreadable expression. He was not angry at him, but he felt inexplicably helpless. Logically speaking, the young man had injured his subordinate. With his protective nature, he would definitely not let him off easily.
But now, not only did he let him off, but he also did not blame him at all. He only wanted to protect him. This feeling came inexplicably, but he could not resist it. More importantly, was this young man so sure that he would not do anything to him?
Sensing that Xiao Li was looking at him, Gu Bai smiled back at him before looking at Ah Hu and saying again, "Don't worry.
"I just said that I was saving you. Your hand is really broken. You can't reconnect it. If you don't believe me, take out your broken hand and see what it looks like …"
"Bullshit!
When I was bitten by a dog, I just went to the hospital for a vaccine. You f * cking cut off my hand. You little bastard, you're ruthless. Let me tell you, if my hand … "
As soon as Gu Bai finished speaking, Ah Hu began to curse in exasperation. As he cursed, he reached for the broken hand in the bag. But halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly and screamed in horror.
"F * ck, what is this?
Where is my hand! "
"Hiss …"
When the people in the room saw what Ah Hu took out, they all gasped.
There was indeed a hand on the table, but it did not look like it had just been cut off. Instead, it was rotten flesh that emitted a nauseating stench …
For a moment, the entire room fell silent. No one could speak.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. The bodyguard opened the door and saw a man with a murderous look walk to Xiao Li with a panicked expression.
"Boss, something happened to Zhou Wu. I don't know what's wrong with him today. He bit everyone he saw like a mad dog. We gave him a rabies vaccine, but it didn't work. He just finished his business and can't show his face in front of others. We don't dare to send him to the hospital.
Ah Hu was the first to react when he heard this. "What happened to Zhou Wu?
What bite? "
We opened the door and went in. Who knew that when the door opened, Zhou Wu would attack us like a madman. He would bite anyone he saw. We had no choice but to lock him back in. When you come back, we'll get Brother Liu to take a look … There's a surveillance camera in that room. Boss, look, he's still messing around like a rabid dog … "
The man with a murderous look took out a cell phone and showed it to everyone as he spoke.
Everyone leaned over and saw that the video was of a hotel room. In the room, there was a man who kept banging on the door like a madman who had lost his mind.
There was also a beast-like roar coming from the cell phone. It was exactly the same as the madman they had met on the street!
"Was he injured when he came back yesterday?
The wound looks like it was bitten by someone … "Gu Bai's clear voice sounded again.
"Ah, yes, yes. That's right. How did you know?"
The man with a murderous look looked at Gu Bai in surprise and nodded quickly.
"We also met someone like Zhou Wu on the street today …"
A bodyguard in the room suddenly spoke. Ah Hu stared at Zhou Wu who was roaring like a monster in the video and then looked at his rotting broken hand on the ground. His face was pale. The others also had a serious look on their faces.
In the video, Zhou Wu only looked like he had lost his mind. However, Ah Hu's broken hand directly showed that the situation was not normal.
The man with a murderous look did not know what had just happened. He was even more surprised when he heard this. "Ah, there's someone like Zhou Wu?
Which rabid dog has such a strong rabies … "
"He doesn't have rabies!
Uncle, he can't be saved. Go back and tell the others not to get bitten or caught by him. If anyone was bitten by him, isolate them. It's very likely to be a very serious infectious disease. The infected people will turn … turn into zombies in the movies … Ah Hu was bitten on the street just now. This is the broken hand he cut off. Look … "
Gu Bai walked out and pointed at the severed hand on the ground as he spoke to the baleful man.
He could not explain what Demon Qi was and what a demon beast was. He could only use common words to describe it.
The man with a murderous look did not believe it at first. However, when he saw the rotting hand on the ground in the direction Gu Bai was pointing at, he immediately widened his eyes and gasped, "What the hell is this?"
The rotting hand on the ground was even more serious. In less than an hour, it looked like a dead hand that had been buried for months.
"Bo, boss …" Ah Hu covered his broken hand and looked at Xiao Li. His face was already pale.
Xiao Li's cold expression also became serious. Obviously, whether the young man was telling the truth or not, things were not simple now.
"Listen to him. Go back first and isolate everyone …"
"Yes, boss."
The man nodded with a shocked face. As he left, he hurriedly called his brothers who did not know the situation to stay away from the infected Zhou Wu. Damn, what's going on?
On the other side, after the man left, the atmosphere in the room became more serious than before.
Ah Hu felt like he was going to cry. He looked at his bare arm, then at the horrifying rotting hand on the ground. Finally, he looked at Gu Bai and said with a trembling voice.
"Kid, kid, is the zombie you're talking about really true?
Isn't that what's in the movies? Will I become one of those things too … "
Although he was not afraid of death, becoming a zombie was more unacceptable than death.
Gu Bai saw his expression and knew that he was afraid. He wanted to save him directly, but when he thought of Ah Hu's attitude and Xiao Li's words, "Don't keep useless people", he immediately restrained himself, raised his chin and pretended to be an expert.
"Don't worry. You are lucky to have met me. You are different from the person just now. He is completely infected, but you can still be saved. Now go and prepare glutinous rice, cinnabar, yellow paper, and seven pieces of jade. I will cast a spell to save you …"
"Ah?"
Ah Hu was not the only one who was confused. Everyone in the room looked at him. Glutinous rice, cinnabar, yellow paper, and cast a spell? Was he going to cure a disease or catch a ghost?
"What are you 'ah' for? Go and prepare. It will be useless even if the gods come. Remember, the jade must be the real one. Don't use inferior ones to make up the numbers. Go …"
Facing everyone's strange eyes, Gu Bai did not change his expression. He continued to pretend to be an expert with his hands behind his back.
If he was in his own appearance, his actions would be somewhat cold and unfathomable. However, his body was only sixteen years old, a young boy.
He had not changed the clothes that were torn in the nightclub. He was still wearing Xiao Li's ridiculously large suit. He looked like a child who had stolen adult clothes. This image was not convincing at all!
Pfft!
Everyone suddenly could not help laughing. The man who had been watching him also softened his cold expression. He smiled and signaled the other bodyguards to go and prepare.
Gu Bai was not trying to catch a ghost. He just wanted to show off. The glutinous rice, cinnabar, and yellow paper were not the most important. The most important thing was the seven pieces of jade. He had just entered the mission and his body had no spiritual power. If he wanted to get rid of the evil in Ah Hu's body and save him, he had to use auxiliary tools.
The bodyguards were very fast. They came back with everything ready in less than half an hour.
After getting the things, Gu Bai did not delay any longer. He quickly arranged the jade according to the Big Dipper and let Ah Hu sit in the middle.
He pretended to sprinkle the glutinous rice for a while and covered Ah Hu's face with cinnabar. Xiao Li, who had been watching him secretly, covered his mouth with his hand and coughed. Then he began to use the spiritual power provided by the jade to get rid of the poison.
Because he had cut off Ah Hu's hand in time to suppress the evil, there was not much evil left in Ah Hu's body.
However, he did not know the origin of this evil. Even a little bit of it was very fierce. Gu Bai spent half an hour to get rid of the evil in Ah Hu's body.
When they saw the strong rotten smell of black blood flowing out from Ah Hu's hand, everyone was shocked again. This was unbelievable!
Gu Bai did not have time to care about everyone's shock. After he was done, he quickly ran to the man, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and asked for credit with a smile.
"Big Brother Xiao, look, I'm very capable. You won't lose out if you take me in!"
The young man's eyes were bright, and there was a smile on his face. Especially the way he stretched his neck to ask for credit, he looked like a puppy. It could not be helped. He had just finished being a dog in the previous world. It would take some time for him to recover his temper.
Xiao Li couldn't help but want to hug her and pinch her. It took him a lot of self-control to restrain himself.
He looked at Gu Bai, who was dressed in rags and had cinnabar on his hands. He reached out to wipe the dirt on his face and said, "Go take a shower …"
Only then did Gu Bai notice that he was in a sorry state. He sniffed, rolled his eyes, and said without thinking, his eyes lit up.
"Are we together?!"
"Cough, cough …"
Ah Hu and the others, who were sighing with fear, almost choked on their own saliva. They all coughed.
They had seen people seduce their boss, but they had never thought of doing it in such a hurry. However, this method was exciting enough. Whether it succeeded or not depended on it.
Everyone peeked at their boss with a gossipy gaze.
Xiao Li was also shocked. The blood in his body was boiling because of this sentence. He never knew that someone could provoke his emotions like this.
He took a deep breath, reached out to fix Gu Bai's suit, and said, "I'll come up to see you later." Then he quickly left with his men.
"Okay …"
The man did not agree as expected. Gu Bai watched them leave in disappointment. He regretted it a hundred times. What a good opportunity to seduce, what a good opportunity, what a good opportunity …
