"By the way, with something so big happening, why isn't Chief George here?" Bai Ye asked a police officer on the scene, curious.
The police officer explained, a little nervously, "The chief hasn't been feeling well lately, so he's taken a week off to rest."
Bai Ye nodded in understanding. A rest would be good. It would have been a bit awkward if they had bumped into each other.
Watching the busy police officers and medical staff, Bai Ye turned to Victor. "Remember to notify me before you go up to the space station. Kingpin will transfer the money to your account tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, yes." Victor nodded repeatedly. "Rest assured, I'll have everything arranged. But, do you want us to send someone to teach you some aerospace knowledge? After all, space isn't like Earth, and there might be some issues."
Bai Ye gestured towards Kingpin indifferently. "I don't have time to study here. You can send me all the relevant aerospace materials later. You can discuss this with Wilson."
With that, Bai Ye turned calmly and vanished into the crowd, carried away by the raging wind.
At this moment, after Bai Ye left, Kingpin walked over and politely said to Victor, "It's a bit noisy here. I'd like to talk to you privately."
Victor readily agreed, and after he and Kingpin moved away from the crowd into a corner, Victor said, "Mr. Wilson, are you referring to the aerospace data? Rest assured, as long as you provide Mr. Bai's address, we'll mail the relevant materials immediately."
"No, no, no. I think simply studying the learning materials is too inefficient. For Mr. Bai's safety in outer space, we need to send a teacher who specializes in aerospace knowledge to teach him."
Kingpin's short sentence made Victor pause. After a moment of thought, he said, "So, Mr. Wilson, what do you mean?"
"The person who teaches Mr. Bai should ideally be chosen from those who have been to space. After all, they will be Mr. Bai's future companions. And since they can operate in space, no one will doubt their knowledge of aerospace."
"So, Mr. Wilson, who do you want to choose?" Victor finally understood.
"Johnny and Mr. Bai Ye have had conflicts. It wouldn't be appropriate to have him teach Mr. Bai, would it?" Kingpin didn't directly state it, but used the process of elimination.
"Inappropriate, definitely inappropriate."
"Since Mr. Bai specifically excluded this person, even though he later changed his mind, it might be awkward when they meet and he has to teach them. Having him come wouldn't be appropriate."
"That's even less appropriate," Victor immediately rejected.
"If that's the case, there's only one choice left, and there are no better alternatives," Kingpin sighed.
"Mr. Wilson, Susan is my fiancée. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to have him come and teach her directly?"
As Victor spoke, he glanced back at Susan, who was completely unaware. No wonder they wanted to speak privately; this wasn't about finding a proper teacher.
"Don't worry, Mr. Bai is a gentleman. And this is all for Mr. Bai's safety," Kingpin said with a serious expression. "Safety first. For Mr. Bai's safety, I'll personally add a 1 billion budget. For deeper cooperation in the future, you should help me out."
'1 billion!' Victor inhaled softly, feeling a bit green around the edges. He forced a smile and said, "Alright, it's just for learning and communication. I completely trust Mr. Bai's character."
"Well… happy cooperation!" Kingpin said with a smile, extending his massive hand.
"Happy cooperation." Victor smiled appropriately and shook Kingpin's hand.
Late at night, Bett lay on the bed with immense sadness, feeling the numbness in his lower body after the anesthesia, his anger difficult to suppress.
As a member of the protest, his three legs were naturally completely broken by the thugs.
But at this moment, besides anger, there was also a hint of regret buried deep in his heart. Why did he have to get involved in the protest?
"What did you say!"
"Is that even human language?"
"I firmly disagree!"
Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted outside the hospital room, as if people were arguing.
What's going on? Bett wondered, but then he saw the door to the room swing open. A doctor and a well-dressed man entered.
"Doctor, how is my body?" Bett asked hopefully as he saw the doctor.
"Erm…" The doctor hesitated before saying, "If the surgery goes well, your legs can recover to the point where you can walk normally, but the mashed-up ■■ has little chance of healing."
Hearing that he would never be able to "perform" again, Bett stood there in a daze. But then he heard the doctor continue, "But actually, there's still a glimmer of hope."
"Really, Doctor?" A flicker of hope rekindled in Bett's eyes.
"Yes, if you cultivate your inner strength to a certain level, there's a chance your legs can be completely healed. However, for your severed ■■, inner strength can't make it grow back, at least not yet. But you can wait for 'Everyone Practices Kung Fu 2.0' in a month. Maybe the upgraded version will have a solution."
The doctor said, but Bett's face was numb. It was Bai Ye who ordered the attack, and now he had to wait for the 2.0 version of inner strength to heal his injuries.
Thinking about Bai Ye's relentless tax increases at noon, Bett felt a knot of frustration in his chest, difficult to vent.
"...Right, the money you prepaid at the hospital isn't enough. I'm here to inform you," the doctor said, somewhat awkwardly.
"Why should I pay? Those people beat me up; they should be the ones to compensate," Bett argued.
"We've discussed this with the police," the doctor said. "But after investigation, those who attacked you don't have a single penny in assets, and they're also millions of dollars in debt. They simply can't pay. At most, they'll just get a few more years in prison."
"What about Bai Ye? He instigated them to attack me. He can't possibly be broke, too, can he?" Bett's emotions were beginning to boil over.
"The police said there's no evidence to indicate that Bai Ye instigated the attack, so theoretically, Bai Ye has no joint responsibility," the doctor said slowly.
"Fuck! Fuck!" Hearing the doctor's words, Bett completely lost control of his emotions, cursing and frantically pounding the sheets with his fists.
But before he could vent for long, a calm voice sounded from the side, "Mr. Bett, is it? We are lawyers from the Value Line Company. We're here to discuss compensation with you."
"Value Line Company?" Bett stopped roaring, remembering that this Value Line Company seemed to be the one that issued Everyone Practices Kung Fu 2.0. So, this guy was sent by Bai Ye to compensate him?
"Compensation? How much can you compensate?" Bett sneered. "If I'm not satisfied, then just wait for me to keep making trouble."
"Mr. Bett, have you misunderstood something?" The man in the suit pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. "It's you who should be compensating Mr. Bai."
"What do you mean?" Bett asked incredulously, feeling a bad premonition.
"Your insults to Mr. Bai's reputation have caused Mr. Bai serious mental distress. Now, on behalf of Mr. Bai, I am formally sending you a lawyer's letter."
The lawyer said confidently, "As for the amount of compensation, we are a professional legal team and will definitely satisfy Mr. Bai."
"In other words, that mutant bastard named Bai Ye not only had someone beat me up, but also wants me to pay him?" Bett almost wanted to laugh because of the sheer absurdity of it all.
