Chapter 244 Amituofo
Arriving at Imperial Military Hospital, Lu Tian steps out of the car. His aura at this moment was no longer murderous.
"Captain!"
A voice suddenly calls out to him and he looks to the person. Seeing who it is, he nods his head.
"Jiang Yu."
"Ready at your command, Captain!"
Like the perfect team they are, Jiang Yu and the men from Team A and C of Wolf Team lined up in formation. Every one of them wore the same uniform in all black.
Lu Tian turn to face his men, "Scatter out and secure the premises. Report any suspicious movements."
"Yes, Captain!"
Giving his command, Lu Tian heads in the direction of the hospital entrance with Xu Long following behind. As he walks away, Wolf Team split up into two's and scout the area. Each individual on guard.
Entering the hospital, the head doctor greets Lu Tian upon arrival.
"Mr. Lu."
Lu Tian nods his head in greeting, "How is my brother?"
"He was brought here on time for us to save him. Not too long ago, he woke up."
"Mm."
The doctor leads Lu Tian and Xu Long to the room Lu Han is resting in. He sighed in relief as nothing bad happened. If any harm did happen to Lu Han, who knows what kind of wrath Lu Tian would unleash in Imperial.
Luckily, Lu Han was emitted to the hospital in time.
As they reach the third floor, Lu Tian is led to a private room at the far end of the hallway. Just as he was about to walk pass a room, the sobbing wail of a family could be heard.
"Doctor, didn't you say my mother was fine? Why is she like this? It's been hours and she hasn't waken up!"
The head doctor frown at the sudden words. He glance into the room to see a man arguing with one of the doctors.
"Mr. Lu, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience. As the head doctor here, I need to see to the situation. Your brother's room is the last one at the end, if you'll excuse me first."
Without waiting for a response, the doctor leaves Lu Tian and walks into the room. Although there was already a doctor inside, as the head doctor, it's his duty to make sure everything is alright.
Lu Tian glance inside the room and he frown. There was an old lady on the hospital bed. She had wires and tubes of all kinds attached to her. However, he felt the old lady looked very familiar, but he couldn't recall where he's seen her.. or did he even run into her somewhere.
"Boss."
Xu Long's sudden call brings Lu Tian out of his thoughts. Looking away, he takes a step forward and heads in the direction of Lu Han's room.
Coming to the end, Lu Tian opens the door and enters the room without knocking.
Inside the room laid a man with features similar to Lu Tian's. Wrapped around his head was a bandage gauze and an IV at his side. The machine next to him beep every second monitoring his heart rate, however, the man's eyes remain shut. Even at the sound of the door opening, he did not wake up.
From behind, Xu Long quietly gasp in shock. Never in his entire life did he ever think to see the carefree Lu Han in this condition. Just how bad was the accident?
Unlike his assistant, Lu Tian looked indifferently at his younger brother. Walking over to the hospital bed, he sits down the chair nearby. Lifting one leg, he cross it over the other making a figure four, the cross his arms over his chest.
"That's enough, Han."
Lu Han: "....."
Xu Long: "....."
Xu Long was dumbfounded. He stare at his boss with blinking eyes and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Lu Han is in a critical condition and yet... here is his boss without an ounce of care...
"If you continue to sleep, I'll call mother to come here."
"....."
Xu Long was even more dumbfounded. What is going on? How can.....
Just as Lu Tian's last word fell, the white blanket covering Lu Han is suddenly kicked off and the man sat up like the dead awakening.
"Bro, how can you use mother to scare me at a time like this?! I just wanted peace and quiet!"
"Ahhhhhh—-!"
Xu Long shrieked and jumped like a little girl at the same time. Both his arms spread with one knee up. He froze in a crane stance and didn't dare to move.
His only thoughts were, if the dead attacks him at this moment he will use his crane foot to kick the dead.
Lu Tian: "..."
Lu Han: "..."
Both brothers stare dumbfounded at Xu Long and his crane stance. Neither spoke a word, but question about Xu Long's thoughts on humanity.
Seeing this, Xu Long clears his throat and returns to normal. He clap his palms together and bow to both men like a shaolin monk. Changing his voice into a deeper tone, he spoke.
"Amituofo, Please pretend like this monk is not here."
"..."
Lu Tian stare with heavy eyelids at his assistant. To this day, he still questions how Xu Long became his assistant for such a long time.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Lu Han thought the same as his older brother. One is cold and aloof while one is not normal, how does boss and assistant duo even work together?
Paying no more attention to his assistant, Lu Tian looks at his brother. Knowing the man was fooling, he didn't joke around. The doctor had mentioned that Lu Han was fine had awoken a while ago.
"Who was it?"
Hearing the question, Lu Han sighed and leaned back down onto the bed. He cross his arms and his eyes look at his older brother.
"Black Dragon."
Black Dragon?
Lu Tian frown at the words. On the way here, he had already guessed it, but he didn't think it to be right. Not after the little visit he and Yue Ling did in Retro. Did Chu Qiang not warm his younger brother?
"What happened?"
Lu Han sighed again. He adjust body and turn to lay on his side. Supporting his head with one hand, he shrug his shoulder.
"That brother of Chu Qiang is very cunning. Li Wei and I were out browsing the street when Chu Li Xiang and his men harassing a food stall. They terrified the old granny so much that she fainted. Of course, the good man I am had to step in and give those low lives a lesson."
"Then how did you end up in the hospital?"
"..."
Lu Han glare at his brother and he sat up with a hrmp.
"Ya, I would of been fine if Chu Li Xiang wasn't a sneaky little fox. He used the opportunity to hit me on the head with a glass bottle when I was occupied beating his men up."
Lu Tian nod his head listening to his brother's story. He knows that Lu Han wasn't harm because his father didn't act the same way his mother did. The woman over exaggerated the situation, but who could blame her. Any mother would react the same.
"Where is Li Wei?"
"Li Wei called the ambulance for me and the old granny. He left to follow Chu Li Xiang, while I came to the hospital to make sure the old granny was alright. However, I ended up being hospitalized too."
Pondering in thoughts, Lu Tian suddenly remembered where he saw the old lady earlier from. He abruptly stood from his chair causing it screech loudly.
Ignoring the shocked and confused looks from his younger brother and assistant, he flung open the door and strides out.
However, the moment his stepped out of the door, his entire body froze.
In the distance was the only person who could make his heart stop. The only person who made his heart beat rapidly and turn chaotic.
The only person he will have as his wife.
The space between Lu Tian's brows crease into three lines. His wife did not look in his direction, but enter the room the old lady is in.
Before he had found it strange how the way the old lady from the food stall spoke to his wife. It was as if there was a hint of familiarity in it.
Could they possibly know each other?
But how can that be possible, doesn't the old lady have Alzheimer... unless....
Ending his thoughts, Lu Tian didn't not hesitate in his decision. He walks in the direction of the room his wife went in.
