Chapter 50

When handing over the werewolf mechanical arm to Officer Pete, Pete was very excited. He promised to reinvestigate the case and informed the Scavenger that the werewolf mechs had appeared thirty years ago. They belonged to some mysterious force with a wide range of activities, seemingly searching for something. Psychic Officer Caplin was one of the officers responsible for these cases back then, but he retired early due to some reasons and now lives near Blue Bay Creek. The Scavenger can go there to inquire about matters related to the case back then.

Blue Bay Creek is located southeast of the safe base, about 300 miles away. Within a hundred miles of the area, there are no war ruins, only the wilderness, where mutated creatures are everywhere, making it very dangerous. "Why would Caplin go there for no reason?"

Tao, who had stolen a large amount of game data, had already integrated this information. Perhaps no other players knew where Blue Bay Creek was, but Tao recalled the information and location of Blue Bay Creek right away.

"This is my first time doing this task, how would I know? Hmm?" The Scavenger smiled and shrugged, but suddenly paused.

"What's wrong?"

"The phone outside is ringing, there might be something. I'll go check it out." The Scavenger said with an unchanged expression, but he was a bit puzzled inside. Many people knew the Scavenger's phone number, at least those from the National Security who were monitoring him. However, very few people knew it, apart from the National Security, only the Scavenger's classmate, Qi Tianyang, knew. So, generally, no one called the Scavenger.

"Hello, is this Wang Fusheng? This is the Third City Hospital. A patient named Qi Tianyang was brought in with serious injuries. His parents are not from this area and can only arrive tomorrow. Could you come to the hospital as soon as possible?"

"I'll be right there." Wang Fusheng's face changed, and he grabbed a jacket and rushed out of the door.

"To the Third City Hospital." The Scavenger, who had rushed downstairs, directly got into a National Security car. The driver, coincidentally, was the young man Zhao Huan who was sitting next to Wu An when Wang Fusheng borrowed money last time. Zhao Huan already knew what had happened from the listening device. Although he was a bit annoyed by Wang Fusheng's instructions, he started the car and drove off, reporting to his superiors.

The neon lights flashing around the car made Wang Fusheng's face somewhat blurry. At this moment, Wang Fusheng calmed down but was puzzled about why Qi Tianyang was injured. It was Sunday today, and Qi Tianyang had borrowed money on Tuesday to celebrate Zhe Li's birthday. Logically, they should have been having dinner now.

Wang Fusheng rushed into the hospital, feeling somewhat agitated, and asked at the reception desk before heading directly to the third floor. However, when he reached the third-floor emergency room, his brows furrowed. Two police officers were standing at the door of the emergency room.

"Who are you?" A middle-aged, pot-bellied police officer saw Wang Fusheng approaching and said sternly.

"Is the person being treated inside Qi Tianyang?" Wang Fusheng asked. His face was calm, but he was somewhat displeased with the police officer. Qi Tianyang was clearly in critical condition, yet the police officer was standing at the door, chatting and laughing with a young colleague, looking very relaxed. He showed no seriousness about the ongoing investigation or the patient being treated.

"Yes." The pot-bellied police officer looked at Wang Fusheng in surprise. Wang Fusheng was just a young man in his twenties, and from his appearance, he didn't seem to be anyone of importance. He was a typical young man with a bit of a student vibe. The fact that he could remain calm when suddenly encountering a police officer surprised the officer.

"He is my classmate, we are both from Fudan University. What happened to him, and how is he now?"

"At around 7 PM, we received a report of a fight at the entrance of Yaya Restaurant. When we arrived, Qi Tianyang was already seriously injured and lying on the ground. According to the initial investigation, the conflict was due to a woman. Qi Tianyang seemed to have harassed the other party's girlfriend and initiated the fight. The other party was injured in self-defense."

Wang Fusheng's brows furrowed at the middle-aged police officer's words. Although he didn't know the details, he could clearly sense the officer's bias. Words like "harassed the other party's girlfriend," "initiated the fight," and "injured in self-defense" all indicated the officer's stance.

"Where is the person who hit him now?"

"After making a statement, he has already left. The facts and the eyewitness accounts are consistent. We are just waiting for the injured person to wake up to confirm the details." The middle-aged police officer raised his voice. Wang Fusheng's calm gaze made him very uncomfortable, and he wanted to speak louder to exert some pressure on Wang Fusheng.

If the police officer's words earlier were somewhat biased, now they were clearly biased. Regardless of the cause, the fact that the person who hit Qi Tianyang was only required to make a simple statement and then leave, despite sending Qi Tianyang to the emergency room, suggested a lot of foul play.

Wang Fusheng opened his mouth to ask more, but at that moment, the light in the emergency room went out, and a doctor came out. Wang Fusheng quickly approached and asked, "How is the patient?"

"He is out of danger."

"Doctor, please provide a detailed description of the patient's condition." The middle-aged police officer, who was displeased with Wang Fusheng's calm demeanor, called the doctor over.

"Three ribs are broken, but fortunately, they didn't puncture any internal organs and have been reset. However, the head was injured by a blunt object, possibly a baseball bat or a steel pipe, which could cause a concussion. These details will need to be confirmed after the patient wakes up. There are minor fractures in the hands and feet, and multiple bruises. Young people these days fight without any restraint. How can you hit someone in the head like that? This is trying to kill someone, isn't it?"

The specific condition of the patient needed to be reported to the police as part of the investigation. However, the doctor, who was clearly a father, and likely had a son of similar age, was very displeased with the young people's lack of restraint in fighting.

"This is just a civil dispute, not an act of revenge. How can it be a matter of trying to kill someone?" The middle-aged police officer glared at the doctor. The doctor was taken aback, then reacted, frowned, and wanted to say more but ultimately held back.

The police officer's words made Wang Fusheng's face turn dark. Although he didn't know the full details, the injuries alone suggested that this was not a simple dispute over harassing a girlfriend. Who would bring a steel pipe to a date? And the police officer's words were not just biased; they were extremely biased.

"Can I go in and see him?" Wang Fusheng took a deep breath to suppress his anger and asked.

"He has just been moved out. The patient needs to be hospitalized and transferred to a ward." The doctor said. At that moment, several nurses wheeled Qi Tianyang out. Qi Tianyang's eyes were half-closed, still unconscious, either from the anesthesia during the emergency treatment or from being knocked out. He was covered in a blanket, and his face was bruised and swollen, not from just a few punches, and his head was bandaged.

Wang Fusheng checked Qi Tianyang's pulse, which, though weak, was still strong. Although the specific injuries couldn't be determined by the pulse, these were all external injuries. However, this pulse indicated that Qi Tianyang was fine, and Wang Fusheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Helping the doctor and nurses transfer Qi Tianyang to the bed, Wang Fusheng roughly examined his injuries. The middle-aged police officer was very unhappy with Wang Fusheng's actions: "Come with me for a moment."

"The case is clear. The injured person initiated the incident, and the other party acted in self-defense."

"How is such a case usually handled?"

"Since the injured person is not in danger, it's not a major case. Generally, it is handled through mediation. However, since the injured person initiated the incident, they bear the main responsibility. The other party pays some medical expenses, and the case can be closed." The middle-aged police officer, with his extensive experience, waved his hand. The case could be closed even before Qi Tianyang had made a statement.

A flash of anger crossed Wang Fusheng's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he looked down the corridor. The two police officers' attention was also drawn. A few young men walked around the corner.

The leading young man had a cigarette in his mouth, passing by a sign that read "No Smoking." He was hugging a very pretty and well-figured woman, looking very arrogant. Wang Fusheng didn't recognize the young men, but the woman was Zhe Li.

"Hey, Young Master Sun, why are you here? The matter has been handled. You just need to pay some medical expenses." The middle-aged police officer, who had not yet thought about why Wang Fusheng had looked down the corridor, greeted the leading young man with a fawning smile.

"I'm here to pay the medical expenses. Where is the person? Is he dead? Let's go in and see the injured person." The young man, called Young Master Sun, took out a few bills from his pocket, glanced at Wang Fusheng with disdain, and tried to enter the ward.

"Qi Tianyang is still unconscious and needs to rest." Wang Fusheng blocked the entrance to the ward.

"Who are you?" Young Master Sun flicked the bills at Wang Fusheng's shoulder.

"Qi Tianyang's classmate."

"A classmate! So you're from Fudan too? I'm from Fudan too, we're alumni. But you, damn..." Young Master Sun spoke in a casual manner. As he spoke, the bills that were initially flicking Wang Fusheng's shoulder were suddenly slapped at his face.

Bang! Before Young Master Sun could slap the money on Wang Fusheng's face, Wang Fusheng, who had been suppressing his anger, kicked Young Master Sun in the abdomen, sending him flying. Along with him, the two young men behind him were also sent flying.

Zhe Li, who was being held by Young Master Sun, was also thrown back by his arm, screaming and falling to the ground. Wang Fusheng, who had already taken action, showed no mercy, charging forward like a leopard.

The two young men standing next to Young Master Sun, who were not affected, were instantly knocked down, their bones cracking from Wang Fusheng's punches. After quickly taking down the two standing young men, Wang Fusheng appeared in front of Young Master Sun, who was still sliding on the ground.

With two quick kicks, Wang Fusheng sent the two young men who were thrown by Young Master Sun even further. Wang Fusheng's hand shot out, grabbing Young Master Sun by the neck and lifting him up. All these actions were completed in an instant.

Even the National Security agents, who were pretending to be family members of patients and monitoring Wang Fusheng, did not react in time. Wang Fusheng had already lifted Young Master Sun by the neck and pinned him against the wall.

"Don't... move, put... put down Young Master Sun." The middle-aged police officer, who had just reacted, pulled out his gun and pointed it at Wang Fusheng, but his hand was trembling. Wang Fusheng turned to look at the middle-aged police officer, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, making the officer's body stiffen, as if he were a frog caught by a snake.

"Wang Fusheng, stop." At this moment, Zhao Huan and a few National Security agents rushed over, shouting at Wang Fusheng. Zhao Huan's face still showed shock. Although Wang Fusheng's sudden action and the fact that his opponents were not worth mentioning, the series of actions completed in less than two seconds made Zhao Huan realize why his captain was so cautious about Wang Fusheng. Such skills were not human.

Wang Fusheng turned to look at Zhao Huan and the others. When their eyes met, Zhao Huan and the others subconsciously stopped. They saw a warning in Wang Fusheng's eyes. If they moved forward, Wang Fusheng might attack them.

Here, the protagonist's name is slightly changed. In the game, he is called the Scavenger, and in reality, he is called Wang Fusheng, to distinguish between the two. I will modify the previous parts as soon as possible. Please recommend and collect. I always ask for recommendations but forget to ask for collections...
