Chapter 192 - Sorry, I need to go perform a surgery! (1/2)
When it came to street fights, youngsters who weren't even 20 years old yet or strong middle-aged men past 40 would actually be the scariest opponents. The first type would still be immature and unable to control themselves. They would likely cause serious injury to others in a fight by accidentally using too much force. However, the second type was scarier, because those middle-aged men past 40 years old would have experienced many dark things in society already. They would have darker hearts and care less about society, not caring about what happened to themselves or others. That was why this second type of person having a fight would usually end in a major incident, since they would always attack fatal spots in the most violent and direct manner!
This was easy to tell just by looking at people who were injured and hospitalized after fights. Fight injuries between young people would appear quite vicious, with a swollen face, black eye, or blood all over the body, but those would actually only be lighter superficial injuries.
Meanwhile, fights between older middle-aged men would have fewer superficial injuries in the end. However, the injured locations were often quite fatal. Older men would have a lot more fighting experience, even if their bodies weren't as strong as younger people's bodies. When fighting, it would be no accident at all if such a person killed another during a fight, because they would know exactly where to aim to cause maximum damage!
Zhu Bing was a policeman. He had to participate in martial arts training on almost a weekly basis. About four or five hoodlums came after him. In normal circumstances, these hoodlums wouldn't be enough to deal with Zhu Bing, as even if he couldn't win, he would be able to run away. However, today he couldn't run away, because his goddess was behind him! He had also drunk several beers already, so his movements were a bit slower than normal.
The hoodlums didn't talk, but they were quite vicious. They immediately started attacking Zhu Bing without saying a word. The fight lasted just under a minute. Zhu Bing managed to knock over several of the hoodlums with his punches and kicks. However, the hoodlums still greatly outnumbered him. The first hoodlum who had been molesting Lu Renjia and then knocked over by Zhu Bing's lightning kick had recovered. He took advantage of an opening while Zhu Bing was busy fighting his friends and stabbed his dagger into the left side of Zhu Bing's chest, aiming straight for the heart! He and his friends then immediately ran away without even looking at the results! To them, Zhu Bing's life didn't matter at all. The most important thing to them was to immediately run away from the scene of the crime!
Lu Renjia hurriedly ran into the karaoke room. She was panting heavily. As she ran, she started to phone her father's personal secretary. When she entered the karaoke room, she immediately said, ”Zhang Fan, someone tried to molest me. He and his gang are trying to attack Zhu Bing right now. Hurry and go help Zhu Bing.” She then spoke into her phone to the secretary, ”We're at Scenic Kingdom Karaoke. Hurry! There's many of them.”
Zhang Fan immediately exited the karaoke room when he heard this. Although Zhang Fan's fighting skills were only average, he figured he could try to mediate the fight. The women also followed after Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan swiftly walked out of the karaoke room. By this time, Zhu Bing had already collapsed in the karaoke bar's hallway with a visible pool of fresh blood spreading out from around him. Several of the karaoke bar's servers and various other customers were standing around Zhu Bing, shouting for others or making phone calls. These people all knew that it would be dangerous to just try and move someone with a serious injury since they had often been in entertainment venues before.
Zhang Fan saw that something seemed to be wrong, so he hurriedly ran over. Lu Renjia saw Zhu Bing at this time as well. She screamed his name at the top of her lungs.
Zhang Fan went over and instantly saw a dagger buried in the left side of Zhu Bing's chest. There was already a significant amount of blood.
”Damn!” Zhang Fan immediately became nervous. The left side of the chest housed the heart as well as major blood vessels and a lung. These were all vitally important. If one of these was struck, then there wouldn't even be a chance to save him! Every single minute would be critical.
Shao Hua's and Jia Suyue's face was going pale. Lu Renjia was so scared that she didn't know what to do anymore. She kept muttering, ”How could this have happened! How could this have happened!”
Le Jie stood next to Jia Suyue. His face was also incredibly pale as he watched what was going on. Someone like him with a rich upbringing and proper lifestyle had never seen something like this before.
Zhang Fan immediately checked the pulse in Zhu Bing's neck. ”Heavens! He still has a pulse!” Zhang Fan couldn't bother right now about all the blood as he immediately kneeled by Zhu Bing's side, tore off Zhu Bing's clothes, and shouted towards Shao Hua and the other women, ”Call for an ambulance immediately!”
When it came to such knife injuries, it would be dangerous to remove the dagger. It would also be dangerous to let the dagger keep moving. He couldn't count on Jia Suyue or Lu Renjia for any help here, as both of them were too scared by what they saw. Shao Hua was doing better, but only slightly. Her hand trembled so much that she had trouble dialing for an ambulance on her phone! Although Le Jie was a man, he wasn't very brave. His mouth was now so dry that he was unable to speak. He felt as if his tongue had fallen down into his stomach. A new friend that he had just been eating and drinking with was lying in a pool of blood a few minutes later. This all seemed so scary!
In the end, Shao Hua managed to successfully call 120 1 and stutter out the karaoke bar's address! Zhang Fan immediately began emergency treatment for Zhu Bing. For a knife injury like this, the first step would be to stop the bleeding and close the lung injury.
Zhang Fan swiftly removed Zhu Bing's clothes. The dagger was incredibly sharp. It had stabbed directly into the left side of his chest, in between the rib bones. Large amounts of blood with air bubbles were pouring out from his injury. Not only that, Zhu Bing was beginning to choke as he kept coughing out blood from his mouth.
There was no other good method available, so Zhang Fan stopped the bleeding by placing his hand on the injury. He then told the karaoke bar employees to immediately go find scissors and clean towels for him. However, not a single person would listen to him.
”Hurry! If he dies here, all of you will be to blame as well.” However, Zhang Fan's words were unable to scare any of the onlookers into moving. The onlookers were all either ordinary employees of the karaoke bar, or the karaoke bar's other customers. They were all the type who wouldn't care about such a major incident. Only the karaoke bar's boss would care, but the boss wasn't present. In the end, the karaoke bar manager was the only one who hurriedly went to find what Zhang Fan requested.
As for the others? They had seen far too many similar incidents before. They were all on the lowest rungs of society. They would prefer to hide from such incidents rather than get involved in any way. If the victim here had died, then they would be able to help out a little because a murder case would mean that the perpetrator would likely be executed or severely punished. But if the victim didn't die? Well, who could guarantee that the perpetrator didn't have some friends among the onlookers? What if the gang of hoodlums came back to take revenge on those who helped out? The people here at the karaoke bar knew that it was likely for criminal organizations to appear here. Not only that, the karaoke bar manager had told the employees before they were hired to try their best to avoid getting involved in fights between customers here. This was part of common scene in China; people would often be cold-blooded since they didn't want to get involved and land in trouble.
