Yun Mu stumbled forward, running ahead.
Falling from a wall over five or six meters high really gave him a rough landing.
What was more deadly was that he had actually been shot in the calf!
This was the first time in his life that Yun Mu had taken a bullet.
On the Star Continent, everyone revered martial arts, and the weapons they used were cold weapons.
Firearms had long been discarded as weapons for cowards.
Moreover, if one’s cultivation was high enough, it was possible to dodge bullets.
But now, Yun Mu didn’t even speak of cultivating; he hadn’t even succeeded in Foundation Establishment.
The fragility of this boy’s physical body was giving Yun Mu a headache.
After walking a short distance, Yun Mu arrived at a small clump of trees.
It seemed to be a park, but since it was far from the city center, there weren’t many people around.
Yun Mu quickly tore a few strips of cloth from his clothing to wrap around the gunshot wound on his leg, stopping the bleeding for the time being.
But this was not a long-term solution, and Yun Mu knew he had to deal with the wound quickly or else it would surely take a toll over time.
Now, covered in blood, where should he go to get treated?
Going back to the company was definitely not an option, as he would surely cause chaos looking like this.
Going home was not very practical, either; Yun Mu didn’t want to worry his wife and sister Jiajia.
Going to the hospital also didn’t seem to be the best choice, for with serious knife and gunshot wounds, hospitals would report to the police immediately, and that would definitely alert the authorities.
There was no choice; the only option for the moment was to treat himself.
Yun Mu limped forward, planning to get out of this small grove first and find a hotel to treat his wound.
Halfway there, Yun Mu saw a small clothesline pole in the park’s plaza, with a row of clothes hanging on it.
It seemed that a nearby resident had hung their laundry there.
This was exactly what he needed!
Yun Mu picked out a few clothes that fit him and changed out of his blood-soaked outfit, then wrapped his wound tightly with a large towel.
Apart from the limp, others wouldn’t be able to see anything unusual about him.
“Big Brother Fei, the footprints end here,” Shen Shou said, following the footprints and bloodstains to the edge of a clump of grass in the park, where they vanished.
Big Brother Fei also caught up, nodding, “It’s indeed a bit problematic.”
Because it hadn’t rained for several weeks, the ground and the grass were very dry and hard, so that even a heavy person walking on it wouldn’t leave footprints.
Shen Shou and Big Brother Fei suddenly lost the crucial clue to track Yun Mu. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
“Why don’t we cross the park and look further?” Shen Shou suggested.
But Big Brother Fei shook his head: “No need.
This is Houhai Park, which is very large and open.
Even if we chase in, we still wouldn’t know which direction the kid ran off to.”
After a pause, Big Brother Fei continued, “However, the good news is, since the park is so large and scarcely populated, if that fool doesn’t know how to stop the bleeding, he probably won’t make it out before he collapses from blood loss.
We can wait and watch the news tomorrow.”
Hearing Big Brother Fei say this, Shen Shou nodded as well.
After all, they had already seriously injured Yun Mu today, and his own anger had been vented.
Big Brother Fei, on the other hand, still had some worries.
With Yun Mu so badly injured, whether he would die or not, he certainly wouldn’t be jumping around for quite some time.
This way, he could explain to the higher-ups and then collect a handsome bounty.
Big Brother Da Fei’s biggest worry was that Yun Mu could come back for more.
After all, the previous incident had left him feeling somewhat terrified.
Even after burying Yun Mu alive, the kid had managed to crawl out of the ground, his strength noticeably increased.
“Let it go, let’s get out of here, the guys in Houhai Lane are still waiting for us to deal with them!” Big Brother Da Fei pushed the chilling thought out of his mind and then spoke to Shen Shou.
Shen Shou nodded.
Those imbeciles, dozens of them, had failed to stop Yun Mu, with some injured and others knocked unconscious.
After returning to the family, he’d have to inform his father about the situation and request a team of real experts.
Of course, Shen Shou wasn’t foolish enough to admit that he hadn’t been able to handle a young lad over the past few days.
Instead, he’d suggest he wanted to learn martial arts from the experts around him, which his father would surely agree to with pleasure.
Yun Mu stumbled out of Houhai Park, with intense pain nearly causing him to fall to the ground several times.
Despite having his calf bandaged several times, due to running, blood had still seeped through.
The pain, along with the blood loss, made Yun Mu remarkably vulnerable.
Luckily, there was a small hotel ahead, and Yun Mu decided to take refuge there for some rest.
“Boss, I need a room!” As soon as he entered, Yun Mu said urgently. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
The owner of the small hotel was a middle-aged man who, upon seeing Yun Mu, was instantly stunned by his handsomeness.
Judging by his appearance, he must be a wealthy young master, but why were his clothes in such disarray and he looked so ragged?
But with the rich, there were surely things beyond his understanding.
Besides, Yun Mu’s face was exceedingly pale, devoid of any vitality.
Had this young master exerted himself too much last night?
Heh heh.
“Handsome guy, our rooms are very tight today. A standard room for three hundred, double room for five hundred,” the boss said with a smile.
“That expensive?” Yun Mu was slightly taken aback.
He glanced around the hotel.
The whole place seemed very deserted, nothing like being fully booked.
Yun Mu knew he was being ripped off.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Mu would have taught this innkeeper a lesson, but he was too weak to bother with these details at the moment.
He patted himself down, thankfully, he hadn’t changed out of his inner clothes, so his wallet was still on him.
Pulling out several blood-stained hundred-yuan notes from his wallet, Yun Mu threw the money onto the counter.
Seeing the hundred-yuan notes, the owner’s face broke into a broad smile, tossing the keys to Yun Mu.
It seemed this rich young master didn’t lack money; had he known earlier, he would have asked for a few hundred more.
Huh, but why were there bloodstains on the money?
Could it be that the young master was too fierce on the bed last night?
Heh heh, who cares, as long as the money’s usable.
The boss chuckled as he tucked the hundred-yuan notes into his drawer.
Following the room number on the key, Yun Mu arrived at a room at the end of the hallway.
Upon opening the door, he saw a very modest setup.
But no matter, all he needed now was a quiet space.
Yun Mu entered the room, locked the door behind him, and then stuffed the door cracks with a towel and bedsheet to keep it tightly sealed.
He knew the soundproofing in such a small hotel would be lacking.
Expecting that inspecting his wounds would be very painful, he decided to take soundproofing measures in advance to avoid startling anyone in the hotel.
