Chapter 640: Liu Ling was snatched away as cannon fodder in life (25)

Luo Ning walked over without any hesitation and helped Lu Xun to his feet.

Lu Xun was extremely weak and tried his best to stand firmly on his own, but due to the severity of his injuries, most of his weight still leaned towards Luo Ning.

Luo Ning had not expected Old Lu to be in such a terrible state this time, looking so weak from being stabbed upon meeting.

"Do you want to report this to the police?" she asked caringly.

Her eyes narrowed even further—she wanted to know which bastard did this, and she certainly wouldn’t let them get away with it.

Lu Xun nodded, "Yes, please report it. After you take me to the hospital, could you help me file a report?"

As Luo Ning helped him towards the entrance of the alley, she asked, "Do you know who hurt you?"

Lu Xun first fell silent, then replied, "The few people who stabbed me, I don’t know them. However, I have suspicions about who’s behind this, but I have no evidence."

Had it been anyone else asking, he definitely wouldn’t have answered like this.

But for some reason, he told the truth in front of this young girl.

Luo Ning didn’t feel it was right to ask further since she had only just met Lu Xun.

She guessed that if it wasn’t Old Lu’s enemy, it could possibly have something to do with his family.

She said, "Even if there’s no evidence, it’s still good to report it and have a record. Later on, if there’s a chance to dig out the perpetrator, these records could come in handy."

A smile crept into Lu Xun’s eyes, "That’s exactly what I was thinking."

Previously, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with it and even intentionally requested a transfer to this distant place to avoid getting entangled in that messy family situation.

But since the other party recklessly made their move, he wasn’t about to let it go just like that.

If they could act on the first of the month, he would be ready by the fifteenth.

Once they were at the mouth of the alley, Luo Ning helped Lu Xun sit on a stone step, then she ran to hail a tricycle.

After taking Lu Xun to the hospital and he was rushed into the emergency room, she went to the police station to file a report.

Soon after, two officers from the police station followed Luo Ning to the hospital.

After a wait, Lu Xun was finally wheeled out of the operating room.

Because he was brought in time, his life was not in danger.

In the hospital room, Lu Xun recounted the situation to the two officers.

"I was on my way home when a few people came over to ask for directions."

"I had just arrived in this county and wasn’t familiar with the area, so I told them I didn’t know."

"Who would have thought that one of them would say I wasn’t being cooperative, then came over looking for a fight, and I subdued him."

"However, I didn’t expect the other two to grab me while another one pulled out a knife and stabbed me in the stomach."

"If I hadn’t dodged in time, I might have been stabbed a few more times, and after shaking them off and running into that secluded alley, I might have been dead."

He was skilled in self-defense; he just never anticipated such an incident and wasn’t prepared for them to pull out a knife, which is why he got stabbed.

After he had thrown off the three who had grabbed him and knocked them down, another one pulled out a knife, and he knew they were sent to kill him.

That’s why he ran first; after all, with his injuries, sticking around would have put him at a disadvantage.

There would be plenty of opportunities for revenge later; there was no need for a showdown to the death.

The police wrote down his account and asked, "Do you recognize them?"

Lu Xun shook his head: "No, I’ve never seen them before."

The officers asked, "Can you describe what they looked like?"

Lu Xun replied, "I have a very vivid impression of three of them; I could even sketch them out directly."

"They had local accents, so without surprises, they should be from this county or surrounding villages and towns."

One of the officers handed Lu Xun a notebook and pen, "Try drawing them."

Lu Xun took them and quickly drew three sketched portraits in the notebook.

Taking the notebook, both officers were amazed at how lifelike the drawings were.

This newly arrived Plant Manager Lu sure had impressive sketching skills.

The two jotted down all the important clues and said, "We’ll investigate this and get back to you once we have some news."

Lu Xun nodded, "Alright, thank you for your trouble."

After the two officers left, he thanked Luo Ning, "I truly can’t thank you enough for today."

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the strength to leave that alley, and it would have been a matter of chance whether someone else would have saved him or if his life would have been in danger.

Luo Ning smiled, "Don’t mention it, I just happened to be passing by, and naturally, I couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die."

She asked, "Do you have any relatives or friends in the county who could come and take care of you? Do you need me to notify anyone for you?"

Regrettably, they weren’t well acquainted, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to stay and take care of him.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xun said, "I have a friend who works at the steel plant, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to make another trip."

He gave her a name and the person’s position.

Luo Ning made a note and said, "Alright, I’ll go fetch someone right now."

"Thank you," Lu Xun didn’t say how he would repay her, as he was someone who preferred to express his gratitude through actions rather than words.

By this time, it was already past six in the evening, and the steel plant had closed, so Luo Ning went to the staff residential area to look for someone.

Lu Xun’s friend, Lin Jun, was quite well-known at the steel plant, having just been transferred from the Capital City as the deputy plant manager last year.

After Luo Ning proved her identity, the gatekeeper went to find Lin Jun.

Soon, a tall and handsome man who appeared to be around thirty years old came out.

Lin Jun looked at Luo Ning, puzzled, and asked, "Comrade, what do you want from me?"

He did not recognize this young lady and suspected she had the wrong person.

Luo Ning nodded, "Do you know Plant Manager Lu from the machinery factory who was newly transferred?"

Lin Jun nodded, "I know him, what’s happened?"

Luo Ning replied, "He’s been injured and is in the hospital, and he needs you to look after him for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jun realized it must be Lu Xun who had sent the young lady to call him. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Worry crossed his face, "How did he get injured? Is it serious?"

Luo Ning recounted the earlier events, "There’s no danger to his life, but his wounds will need some time to heal."

It was the 1960s, and powerful anti-inflammatory drugs had not yet been developed.

So while she was at the hospital, she helped Lu Xun by pouring a cup of water and dissolving the oral anti-inflammatory drugs in it.

This way, he could take them while drinking water.

Lin Jun, concerned for Lu Xun, pulled out his bicycle and took Luo Ning to the hospital.

Upon entering the ward and seeing Lu Xun’s pale face, Lin Jun’s face darkened.

He couldn’t restrain himself and asked, "Was it those two brothers of yours who did this?"

Lu Xun replied, "Most likely."

Lin Jun’s face filled with anger, "Have those two gone mad? You already stepped aside voluntarily; aren’t they satisfied yet?"

Lu Xun laughed self-deprecatingly, "They’re probably afraid I’ll go back and use the Lu Family’s resources, or maybe they’ve always resented me for being in the position before. Who knows?"

Lin Jun furrowed his brows, "You’re not going to just let this go, are you?"

Lu Xun raised an eyebrow, "Do you think that’s likely?"

Those words made Lin Jun’s dark face brighten a bit, "I knew you weren’t that type of person."

This guy, who seemed to everyone in the large courtyards to be the model child, was quite the schemer underneath.

Reluctant to get entangled and having given up his position, to be met with such a result - if he didn’t seek revenge, he wouldn’t be the good friend Lin Jun knew.

After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized, the young lady had followed them in.

He turned around and sure enough, she was there, leaving him feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had just been so enraged that he couldn’t help but question his friend outright.

Luo Ning, seeing his embarrassment, said with a smile, "I’m heading home now."

Lu Xun gave her a small smile, "Be careful on the road, see you later!"

Luo Ning waved at him, "See you later!"
