Chapter 4 Warning
Naples Federal Charity Hospital is one of the best hospitals in Crown County.
Especially their trauma surgery, its level is no less than that of orthopedics in Blackhawk County.
However, although it has excellent medical standards and is a public hospital, it is even more deserted than many private medical institutions.
The reason is actually a price question...
Although this hospital has a "public" sign, their actual consumption threshold is higher than that of private ones.
At the Federal Charity Hospital of Naples, all medical supplies, medicines, conventional and value-added medical services may not be the best in the county, but they must be the most expensive in the county; and they do not accept any medical insurance or installment payments, and all costs are settled in advance - pay the bill first and then serve.
In theory, this is undoubtedly unreasonable and unlawful.
Even private hospitals must have a standardized charging standard and must cooperate with the federal social security system, let alone "public"?
But since this unreasonable thing actually exists and has been around for many years, there is a reason for it.
The name "Vittorio Bruno" is the reason behind this.
Many people know this name because Mr. Bruno is the highest executive of Crown County - the "Federal County Head", and has been re-elected in this position for many years.
His family can be traced back to the Renaissance, from poets to merchants, from mafia to politicians, from rebels to power... Throughout the history of Crown County, the figure of the Bruno family has never faded out.
And Vittorio Bruno, perhaps the most powerful member of their family to date.
At least in the past decade, his name in Guanzhi County is equivalent to "law" and even higher than the law.
Especially in Naples... this is the hometown of the Bruno family, and its foundation is unshakable; even more than a hundred years ago, when the resistance organization "Iron and Steel Commandment" occupied the Crown County, the Bruno family never declined.
In this city, Vittorio can find whoever he wants, and whoever he wants to disappear will disappear.
So, he wanted a hospital that had a public sign but was actually only for those related to the Bruno family and a very small number of wealthy people, so there could be such a hospital.
"Public" or something is just a shell used by Vittorio to avoid taxes. It does not mean that "public" means freedom, but that is to serve the public; whoever serves the people in power must have the final say.
…………
That morning, a patient came to the hospital's emergency room.
In addition to the slight internal bleeding symptoms, he also got a bullet in his right arm and left leg; the wound on his arm was fine, but the gun on his leg caused heavy bleeding. If he hadn't done some emergency treatment by himself, he would have had a life before getting into the ambulance.
When encountering such a patient, the hospital naturally needs to call the police.
But as a result, the police dispatched only a few people, came here for a walk, and after a process, they hurriedly stopped the team.
And the medical staff... are not surprised by this.
Working in this hospital, I have a lot of things in mind. Although the federal police officers in Cunzhi County cannot be said to be very outstanding, they are not doing this. This situation will occur. There is only one explanation - someone has taken care of them before coming.
At 8:00 in the evening.
After nearly ten hours of surgery and postoperative treatment, the patient was sent to a single ward.
A police officer in charge of staying behind sat at the door of the ward and drank the coffee provided by the vending machine one by one.
At 8:40, a group of people who knew that they were a child by looking at their gait walked into the hospital hall; and... without asking about the front desk, they came directly to the ward.
"Hiss-oh my belly..." The policeman was also an old man. As soon as he saw the group of people appearing at the far end of the corridor, he muttered to himself, then got up and headed towards the toilet.
That means - I don't know what will happen next.
The group of people also understood the rules. They waited until the policeman turned into the toilet and disappeared completely from his sight before pushing open the door of the ward.
时—时—
The ward was very quiet, with only the ECG monitor making a slight sound.
"Brother Master" lying on the hospital bed was injecting fluid and was sleeping.
At this time, there were three men and one woman who came to the ward, all wearing jackets and jeans, and sunglasses indoors. They asked one of the male members to stay at the door of the ward to take the wind, while the other three quickly came to the bedside of the master brother.
"Go to do it." The man in the lead, named Aladdino, looked at the master brother on the hospital bed, and then gave an order to his companion coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the female killer took out a mini syringe from his pocket and put an injection into the infusion tube on the master's arm.
Ten seconds later, the data on the ECG monitor changed.
Seeing this, the male killer closest to the centrifugal meter quickly reached out and pulled out the power cord connected to the sirens. In this way, even if the heartbeat pulse on the ECG is zero, the alarm on the nurse's desk will not sound.
"Um..." Not long after, the master brother woke up from a muffled groan; as soon as he opened his eyes, he showed a painful look, and immediately took off the breathing mask from his face and gasped quickly.
"Marino." Aladdino said to him in a cold tone, "Do you know why you are still alive?"
The man called "Marino" is the master brother lying on the hospital bed.
"Ha...ha...I...I can't..." Marino continued while gasping for breath, "Betrayal Qian..."
"Whatever you say," Aladdino interrupted him, "We'll do it...just because the leader is a little curious about what kind of goal it is to make you so embarrassed."
"Yes..." The male killer standing next to the electrocardiometer sneered and continued, "After all, the other party made you Marino like this when you were fighting against three."
Hearing this, Marino first gasped for a few seconds, and looked at the three people in the room with a very delicate look. Then, he actually laughed: "Ha! Hahaha..." Marino just laughed, panted, and continued in a strange tone, "Okay, I'll tell you..." He paused, "My goal this time is Jack Anderson."
As soon as the name came out, the three people standing changed their expressions.
Sneer, relaxed and indifferent... disappeared from their faces instantly, replaced by an unconcealed suspicion and solemnity.
"To avoid misunderstandings." After thinking for a few seconds, Aladdino said again, "I'll confirm it again... The Jack Anderson you mentioned is the 'killer god' who suddenly disappeared four years ago, right?"
"That's right."
This response was not given by Marino.
But it came from outside the door...
When they heard the sound, the two men and one woman felt their scalp numb; they almost instinctively completed the gun pulling action in one second, and raised the guns in unison and pointed them in the direction of the door.
"Don't be nervous, I don't plan to fight with you." The next second, Jack outside the door continued in a steady tone, "A moment, I will slowly open this door and come in and talk to you a few words. As long as you don't do anything that makes me feel dangerous, I won't do anything dangerous to you." He paused for a moment, "Otherwise... I can only talk to others."
At first glance, his words were nothing wrong, and they were even quite polite, but after careful consideration, the meaning was basically - "I'm going to come in and ask you some questions now. If you don't resist, we still have some chats. If you have any abnormal movements, I will turn you into corpses and then continue to chat with those guys who come to collect corpses."
Gulululu—
After a breath, the door of the ward was opened horizontally with the sound of roller sliding.
Jack, wearing a black suit, appeared at the door.
The three killers were still holding guns and aiming at Jack's place, but no one opened fire; in fact, compared to Jack who had his hands in his pockets, the three of them were so weak that they raised their guns.
"Do you usually chat with people with your face at the gun?" Jack asked, looking at them.
After two seconds of hesitation, Aradino, who was in charge, put down his hand holding the gun. The man and the woman around him compromised when they saw that the strongest one here compromised, so they naturally followed suit.
After all the three of them put down their arms, Jack took a step forward, walked into the ward, and pulled the door behind him.
"If you want to know..." Jack said casually when he closed the door, "The friend you are in charge of guarding the door is now resting in the next ward and will wake up within an hour."
"It is worthy of being the legendary god of killing..." Aradino looked directly into Jack's eyes, "He could quietly deal with a formal member of Qian Ming from a place one of our doors."
"What?" Jack did not show any emotional fluctuations after hearing this compliment. "Is this kind of 'routine operation' worthy of praise now? So... how do you all complete the task now? Drive a tank to the target's home?"
This behavior of not only ignoring praises but also sarcasticly made the three of them feel very unhappy.
But no matter how unhappy it is, it is not as good as having to have an attack.
"You said you want to talk to us..." Aradino skipped the meaningless polite words and began to talk about the topic, "So...what do you want to talk about?"
"Of course I'm talking about why when I arrived in Naples, there were people from Qianming who wanted to kill me." Jack responded.
Upon hearing this, Aradino turned his head to look at Marino on the hospital bed, and then said, "I have to declare... This guy lying on the hospital bed is no longer a person from us Qianming."
"You fart!" As a result, Marino immediately shouted excitedly, "We are the real Qianming! You guys... um..."
After he said half a word, the female killer stuffed the muzzle of a pistol into his mouth.
Jack observed his expression, thought for a moment, and then pondered: "So that's it..." He smiled at him for a rare moment, "Ha... I didn't expect that organizations like Qianming would have internal strife."
"It's not as serious as you said." Aradino replied coldly, "It's just that there is a last descendant of the 'Ducho' family. He is not satisfied that people outside their family will become the leader of Qianming, so he brought a small group of people who support her and defected, and regarded herself as 'orthodox'... and was also doing some self-righteous things that ruin the reputation of the organization."
"Um... yell uh uh..." Even though his mouth was blocked by a gun, Marino on the hospital bed still let out a vague scolding after hearing this.
"It seems that the other party has different opinions from you." Jack glanced at Marino and continued, "Of course, that's okay. I have no interest in the power struggle within you Qianming; your one-sided words, and his blocked mouth... are also of no reference value to me." He said, turning sideways, as if he was about to leave, "Since both of you regard yourself as orthodox, I will leave the words here... From today on, if I am harassed by the killer who claims to be Qianming, I will not take only the "self-defense" measures like this time... I hope both of you can show orthodox appearance, abide by the 'rules', and don't test my bottom line again."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out without looking back, and even helped them bring the door.
When Jack walked away, the male killer next to the ECG spat: "Tsk... pretend..." He showed a very unhappy look, "I don't believe it. If the three of us shot him through the door just now before he opened the door, what could he do?"
"Don't you think your words are ridiculous?" Aradino turned his head and looked at his companion, saying unceremoniously.
"What's wrong?" And that person still didn't understand, it was ridiculous.
"We had no idea that he had settled Sandero before he answered our words, and had already stood at the door and listened to our conversation." Aradino continued, "that is,... at that time, he could attack us at any time as long as he wanted."
When he heard this, the male killer changed his expression after realizing it, and suddenly felt a chill in his spine.
"Your so-called 'we shoot him across the door together' is based on the other party' that the other party has let us go and actively exposed his premise." The leading man continued, "Then think about it from another perspective. If the person outside the door is you, do you have the courage and confidence... to do the same action as him?"
The male killer did not answer, and there was no need to answer.
"The name of 'killing god' was not played by him." Aladdino continued, "Don't think that the other party is arrogant... acting high-profile beyond his ability, that is arrogant; and Jack Anderson... is just acting low-key and normal. You will think he is crazy, because... his low-key is enough to stimulate your inner inferiority..."
He said as he walked around the bedside and placed his hand on Marino's forehead.
"Okay, Marino, my former brother." When Aradino said this, Marino already knew what he was going to do, but was unable to resist. "Rest in peace... May you be forgiven in another world and accept that new, true creed..." He paused for a second and said, "...all things are ruled, everything is the cause."
As he said, Marino's two eye sockets began to burst out with bright light, and his body began to have a violent spasm.
At this moment, the female killer had retracted the gun and covered Marino's mouth with his hands, while the male killer stepped forward and held his body down.
This violent trembling process did not last long. After seven or eight seconds, Marino stopped moving...
His head turned into a hollow bone shell at this time, and its interior was completely burned; charred substances flowed out from its stomata, emitting a pungent smell.
"Let's go." Aradino finally glanced at Marino again, then looked up at his two companions and said, "Go and wake Sandero first, and then we have to see the leader as soon as possible..."
