After everything was ready, Yun Mu fetched some water from the restroom, then grabbed a few towels and a pair of tweezers made from sterilized toiletry items, preparing to remove the bullet from his calf.
As he unwrapped the fabric and towels covering his calf, a shocking wound appeared before Yun Mu.
However, Yun Mu didn’t feel terrified, for he had seen such wounds countless times on the Star Nebula Continent.
It was just that he wasn’t sure if it was because his current body was too frail or because Earthlings had a weaker resistance to impact.
Compared to the times on the Star Nebula Continent, Yun Dong felt that this injury was much more painful.
Blood continued to seep profusely from the wound.
Yun Mu had no choice but to press a towel near the wound to stop the bleeding while he began to remove the bullet with the makeshift tweezers.
After taking a deep breath, Yun Mu plunged the tweezers swiftly and ruthlessly into the wound, and immediately the tips touched something hard.
Without hesitating, Yun Mu immediately pulled the hard object out.
With this pull, blood spurted from the wound, and Yun Mu felt dizzy, nearly fainting.
Fortunately, because he had silently recited the “Heavenly Dragon True Technique” the previous night, Yun Mu’s mental state had been somewhat bolstered.
Otherwise, he would have collapsed onto the bed earlier.
After struggling through, Yun Mu quickly wrapped his wound again with a clean towel then finally lay down on the bed and heaved a deep breath.
Today was a narrow escape from death.
Once he relaxed, Yun Mu quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes again, Yun Mu felt weak, and the wound still throbbed with pain.
However, thanks to the sleep, he felt much better compared to before.
The room had already become completely dim, indicating it was already night.
He wondered whether Jiajia or Qingcheng would notice his absence.
After all, last time he left home, he nearly got killed in Houhai Lane.
Despite this, Yun Mu still felt that he couldn’t go home yet, as that would lead to even more complications.
After eating a bowl of instant noodles found in the room, Yun Mu felt some strength returning to his body, at least not as weak as before.
As he shifted, Yun Mu felt something hard beneath him, and upon checking, it was the bullet he had extracted earlier!
A wave of fright washed over Yun Mu, and anger welled up inside him.
That dang baldy, it seemed he was out to take Yun Mu’s life.
But fortunately, Master Shen was cowardly, and had timely stopped Big Fly when he started shooting, otherwise Yun Mu would have been a goner in Houhai Lane.
Thinking it over, Yun Mu shoved the bullet into his pocket as a reminder to never let down his guard.
After all, this was Ji’an City on Earth, one of the metropolises where people would do anything for power and money.
What was one life in comparison?
So, what should he do next?
Now that the wound had been initially treated, Yun Mu felt the first thing to do was to go to a pharmacy to buy some herbs to further speed up the healing process.
After hurriedly cleaning up the messy room, Yun Mu threw the blood-stained towels downstairs and cleaned the blood off the bed.
Fortunately, the bedding had been used to block the door earlier, so it hadn’t gotten stained with blood.
Once everything was taken care of, Yun Mu went downstairs to check out.
“Boss, I used a few towels from the restroom, and I’m taking them with me. Here’s the money for the towels.” After saying this, Yun Mu pulled out a hundred-yuan bill.
“Alright, alright,” the boss thought to himself how strange it was that this rich young man would even take the old towels from his hotel.
But the hundred-yuan bill was more than enough to buy a whole new pack, so the boss didn’t say anything else.
After leaving the hotel, Yun Mu finally felt a bit cold outside.
It was the end of spring and beginning of summer in Ji’an City, which backed onto a large river, and the evenings were still greeted with a cool breeze, making the already frail Yun Mu involuntarily wrap his coat around himself.
Looking out at the lights beginning to twinkle in the homes, the aimless Yun Mu suddenly felt a tinge of loneliness.
Having been on Earth for several days now, he still didn’t have a single friend.
Although nominally he had a family and a wife, in reality, the two were distant, more like business partners fulfilling each other’s needs.
Yun Mu couldn’t help feeling a chill.
Could he really be such a loser to have grown up without a single close friend?
Suddenly, a memory surfaced in his mind.
Not bad, so you see, no matter how few, everyone surely has one or two friends.
Yun Mu walked onto the street and waved down a taxi. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Driver, to the Garden District!”
“Okay.”
The Garden District was a relatively upscale neighborhood, but it still couldn’t compare to the luxurious district where Qingcheng lived.
However, to Yun Mu, it seemed quite nice.
Good landscaping, spacious building intervals, garden views everywhere; the average prices of this district were likely not low.
The only friend from his memories, Zhang Heng, lived in that district.
Zhang Heng was like a brother from childhood.
Yun Mu had always been ignored in the Yun Family and was weak in character, practically a lifelong loser.
But still, being part of the grand Yun Family in Ji’an City, he at least had some money.
Money attracts people.
Children are simple-minded; whoever has food and toys, they follow, so Yun Mu also had a time when he was king of the kids.
Among them, Zhang Heng was the one who played with him the most, although Yun Mu knew that it was only for his money.
But who cares, right now, he just wanted a temporary place to stay until he recovered from his injury, and then he would leave.
“Ding dong, ding dong.”
After pressing the doorbell a few times, the door of a detached villa opened.
A plump, greasy face popped out: “Who is it?”
“It’s me, Yun Mu,” Yun Mu said indifferently.
“Yun Mu?” The person at the door thought for a while, then suddenly smiled broadly: “Oh, it’s Brother Mu, long time no see!”
Seeing Yun Mu, Zhang Heng’s face broke into a wide smile, and he hurriedly came out to let Yun Mu in.
Yun Mu didn’t hesitate, knowing that this guy owed him quite a bit.
Once Yun Mu went in, Zhang Heng immediately shut the door and enthusiastically began pouring tea and offering drinks.
If it had been before, Yun Mu would have been moved to tears, but now he clearly understood that the guy’s kindness was just for show.
For some time now, under various pretexts, this guy had borrowed money from Yun Mu, and the fool had agreed without even thinking.
So, this house, even the tea on the table, was actually Yun Mu’s own property.
After drinking a sip of tea, Zhang Heng then sat next to Yun Mu, his chubby face almost drooping.
“Brother Mu, what brought you here?”
