50: Unexpected disaster

As soon as he arrived at the training ground, he saw Luo Ying waving at him and walking over…

Long Yuan was slightly stunned, wondering if Luo Ying had noticed that he had just gone to the Luo Family Trading Building last night.

"Long Yuan, Duan Hu is in trouble!" Luo Ying said directly, which also resolved the small doubt that had just risen in Long Yuan's heart.

However, hearing this news, Long Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What happened? How is he now?"

Luo Ying said, "He got into a fight with someone at a barbecue stall on Tianfu Street last night and was knocked unconscious. Later, someone sent him to our Luo Family Hospital for emergency treatment. Currently, his life should not be in danger..."

"Last night?!" Long Yuan suddenly remembered seeing several people pushing a stretcher cart hurriedly entering Luo Family Hospital last night. At the time, the person on the stretcher was heavily bandaged and covered in blood, and he hadn't looked closely. Now that he thought about it, that injured person could very well be Duan Hu!

Luo Ying nodded and said, "Yes! He was sent to the hospital by a Little Loli and her mother. According to the Little Loli, it was because several male customers eating barbecue at their stall had an argument with three female customers. Then someone suddenly went berserk, smashed a barbecue grill, and the fire burned the bodies and faces of those three female customers. Duan Hu, who happened to be there, rushed up to stop them, and a fight broke out. Because the other side had more people, Duan Hu eventually lost..."

"Which ward is he in? I'll ask for leave to see him now!" Long Yuan said anxiously.

"B Block, 9th Floor, Room 609. Don't worry, I've already asked the attending doctor. Duan Hu's injuries are mainly superficial, and he's unconscious due to excessive blood loss. He's resting now and should recover quickly. Let's go see him together after class. The troublesome thing is..."

"What is it?"

"The burns of those three female customers!" Luo Ying sighed.

"Ah?! That's not Duan Hu's business, is it?" Long Yuan was startled.

"Of course it's not his business, but it's the mother and daughter's business! The female customers were injured at their stall. Although those male customers were the aggressors, as stall owners, they still have some responsibility... Well, even if they don't have to take responsibility, their business will definitely be greatly affected, after all, their reputation will be bad..." Luo Ying said.

"This..." Long Yuan was speechless for a moment.

To be burned by fire while eating barbecue, it truly was an unprovoked disaster for those three female customers!

Speaking of which, are the people in this world so full of hostility? Can they still eat and talk properly?

People who resort to fighting at the slightest disagreement should really be taught a good lesson and then sent to prison to operate sewing machines...

However, was this incident caused by those male customers deliberately looking for trouble? Or was there some hidden truth unknown to others? Perhaps he would have to ask that Little Loli...

At this moment, Long Yuan finally remembered the Little Loli he had seen last time with Duan Hu at the Meichuan Inn barbecue stall on Tianfu Street. He suddenly realized that the Little Loli should be the one, which meant she was Duan Hu's new girlfriend. It seemed Duan Hu wanted to be a hero saving a beauty, but ended up being severely injured instead!

"Duan Hu has been practicing well recently and has entered the early stage of a Martial Apprentice, officially becoming a Xuan Practitioner. I didn't expect him to still be knocked unconscious... He must have remembered my instructions not to use the Great Sun Heaven Patrol Palm in front of others, otherwise, the result wouldn't have been like this! However, the early stage of a Martial Apprentice is still at the bottom among Xuan Practitioners, so it's normal to be injured by a group attack... Fortunately, it's not serious..." Long Yuan thought to himself.

He was absent-minded during class today. As soon as class was finally over, he immediately walked out of the school gate with Luo Ying. The Luo Family had a luxury car to pick up Luo Ying, so the two got into the car together...

"No way? What did I see?"

"You're not mistaken, School Beauty Luo and Long Yuan got into the Luo Family's car together!"

"That kid Long Yuan got lucky, he actually hooked up with the Luo Family!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a fresh flower stuck in cow dung..."

"Hey, you can't say that either. Long Yuan is at least in the Elite Class and a future Mind Power Master!"

"You also know it's 'future', who knows what the future holds?"

"That's true..."

The scene of the two getting into the car stunned many students at the school gate. The news that the two were playing CP quickly spread like wildfire within the school...

When they arrived at the hospital, Long Yuan immediately saw Duan Hu lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, his head and hands heavily bandaged...

The Little Loli from the barbecue stall that Long Yuan had expected was not there. Instead, Duan Hu's mother was there to look after him. She was peeling fruit nearby. Seeing the two enter, she quickly greeted them and asked them to sit down. Long Yuan observed her expression to be quite calm, only her brows were slightly furrowed, clearly indicating she had something on her mind. It seemed Duan Hu's injuries were not too serious, and as Luo Ying said, there were no major problems, otherwise, his mother would not be so calm.

Long Yuan also found it awkward to check on him directly, so he asked, "Xiao Hu, how are you feeling now?"

Duan Hu had already come to his senses when he saw them enter and quickly replied, "Boss, I'm fine! Didn't you see how tough I am? These superficial wounds are nothing..."

"Really fine?"

"Really fine!"

"That's good, then. You can rest assured and recover. By the way, who were those men? What was the situation then?" Long Yuan asked.

"This... it was just an accident that happened during their argument. I just pushed them a few times, and some of them were injured too..." Duan Hu said vaguely.

"Is that all?"

"That's all..."

"Alright then..."

Long Yuan and Luo Ying chatted for a while longer before getting up to leave...

Duan Hu's mother followed closely, gently closing the door, first looking at the two with suspicion, then quietly asking, "Long Yuan, are you two also in love?"

Luo Ying's face immediately flushed crimson upon hearing this, and she quickly said, "No, no, Auntie, you've misunderstood! We're just classmates, and today we're representing the school to visit classmate Duan Hu together!"

"So that's it... It's good that you're not. At your age, you should focus on your studies and training, and definitely not be in love. My Xiao Hu was harmed by this..."

"Ah? Is Duan Hu in love?" Luo Ying asked in surprise, her face full of gossip.

"Yes, it's with that Little Loli from the barbecue stall, sigh..."

Duan Hu's mother sighed softly, then said to Long Yuan, "Long Yuan, I know you and Xiao Hu are good friends. Please help me persuade him. How can he be in love at such a young age? This not only affects his studies but also caused him to be severely injured because he stood up for that Little Loli to stop the thugs. If this continues, I'm afraid Xiao Hu will be ruined by that Little Loli's family..."

Long Yuan was speechless upon hearing this, thinking, 'Is this something I can persuade him about?' Duan Hu is currently in his rebellious teenage phase, and the more you try to stop him, the more enthusiastically he'll probably pursue it... No wonder he felt the atmosphere in the ward was strange when they first entered. The mother and son must have argued about this.

"Auntie, I'll talk to him once he recovers. Don't worry, Xiao Hu is clear-headed about major things..." Long Yuan said.

"Good, good, then I'll leave this matter to you! And this female classmate, you also help me persuade him. By the way, what's your name? Why do I feel like you look a little familiar?" Duan Hu's mother asked.

"My surname is Luo, and my name is Ying. Auntie can just call me Luo Ying!"

"Luo Ying? Could it be the Luo Family female classmate in the class that Xiao Hu mentioned to me?"

"This... if there's no accident, then that's me, because I'm the only one with the surname Luo in the class." Luo Ying smiled.

"Oh my goodness! Then this Luo Family Hospital is also yours?! Director Luo even personally came to see Xiao Hu this afternoon!" Duan Hu's mother said excitedly.
