Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 963 - 962: A Feeling Never Felt Before

That's right, in theory, that's how it should be. Chu Ge at that time also positioned himself this way, but he was ultimately human, a person with emotions.So, after lurking and tracking, until he found a suitable opportunity, slicing through that person's neck with a knife, watching that person fall unwillingly to the ground, and the blood dyeing the beige carpet red, he still couldn't truly maintain a heart as steadfast as a rock.

At that moment, Chu Ge asked himself, did this person really deserve to die?

In fact, for those years, he often asked himself this question, often unsure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.

Now, returning to the city, bidding farewell to the bloody storms, he liked this feeling, crying when he wanted, laughing when he wished, occasionally being a little willful. These were the days a normal person should live, the days of happiness.

Unexpectedly, this incident got entangled with the Seven Evil Stars again. That Li Zheming was so deeply connected with the Seven Evil Stars, actually the biological son of one of the bosses, Li Hutai. For Li Zheming, Li Hutai didn't hesitate to leverage the power of the embassy.

Originally, it was because He Junming got beaten, and Chu Ge taught Li Zheming a little lesson at Li Nan's Taekwondo gym. He really didn't anticipate that such a trivial matter would lead to such a chain of events.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself. The anger that had just risen in his heart gradually turned into a sense of disinterest.

For now, the only thing he could be thankful for was that his assassination mission back then was successful. He was confident it was done without a soul knowing, so that old debt should not be accounted for by the Seven Evil Stars.

As for this time, his hands were stained with the blood of a few more Seven Evil Stars members, leaving Li Zheming in utter disarray, that's a new debt altogether.

To say something fitting, this truly was a case of unexpected turns, fate's trickery.

However, regarding the current situation, Chu Ge was neither blindly optimistic nor blindly pessimistic. After all, from the rescue plan for Li Zheming, even if he was very important to Li Hutai, to the Seven Evil Stars, this kid was likely just a trivial matter.

If it wasn't, why didn't they use more official methods to get Li Zheming out from the start, but instead took such an extreme step as hijacking the prison van?

Chu Ge felt if he hadn't guessed wrong, all of this was Li Hutai's personal action, deploying his elite forces, unrelated to the will of the Seven Evil Stars.

Perhaps... just by leveraging the embassy resources, Li Hutai would certainly stir some dissatisfaction within the Seven Evil Stars, even if Li Hutai held a high position within them, this incident would affect him to some extent, possibly even shaking his standing.

Every organization has its own rules, and the Seven Evil Stars are no exception.

Even if Li Hutai was among the decision-makers, it's important not to forget, the rule-makers are often not one, but a group.

When someone stands too high, there are always plenty of people below wishing to pull them down.

Apart from this, as Chu Ge knew of the South Korean gang's ways, their method of doing things was usually rational and meticulous. As they say, a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake. No matter how powerful they are in South Korea, they wouldn't be arrogant enough to think they could act as they please on another country's soil.

Of course, if the opponent were merely an ant, they could squish it quietly, but was Chu Ge an ant?

Of course not!

If that were the case, why would Li Hutai suffer such losses?

From this, Chu Ge could deduce that theoretically, the Seven Evil Stars wouldn't take extreme measures over the Li Zheming matter. Instead, it might be Li Hutai personally who couldn't swallow this insult, but constrained by the gang's overall situation, he likely wouldn't act recklessly.

Unless... Li Hutai didn't mind leaving evidence for others to use against him and had no intent of continuing in the Seven Evil Stars' leadership.

Lin Gaoze stayed for a while in the hospital room and then left. Chu Ge didn't discuss the Seven Evil Stars with him, not because he didn't trust Lin Gaoze, but because Lin Gaoze was the captain of the Lidu City criminal police, and telling him wouldn't serve any purpose.

After all, Chu Ge had just woken up and talking for so long had tired him out. After Lin Gaoze left the hospital room and a very young and pretty nurse came in, he closed his eyes to rest and unconsciously fell asleep again.

While Chu Ge was asleep, some people came to visit him, like some leaders from the city, Song Baijia, Chen Jue, Long Kun, among others, knowing he was resting, all quietly left.

These visitors made some informed people stare in disbelief, my goodness, the guy in this hospital room was really something!

Not just the stunningly beautiful women, even these men visiting him, any one of them was a prominent figure in Lidu City, there were people from every line you could think of!

Uh... except for that ordinary-looking chubby guy.

Of course, if these people knew Song Baijia could kill a wild boar with a single punch, they might have thought differently.

Chu Ge slept deeply this time, without having any weird dreams, and his whole body and mind felt extremely relaxed.

As Chu Ge slept, a wondrous and ethereal sensation enveloped his entire body.

It's like... on the shimmering surface of the water, under the gentle breeze, he's lying in a small boat lined with soft cushions. The gentle sunlight shines on him, making him feel lazy and warm, drifting and swaying, without knowing where the start is, nor the end.

It's not a dream, but a feeling from inside out, where every pore of his body feels incredibly comfortable, as if he's taking deep breaths.

This feeling, Chu Ge has never had before.

I don't know how long it took for this feeling to fade away like the ebb tide, and Chu Ge again smelled the unique scent of disinfectant in the hospital, as well as Qin Ruojing's scent, and heard the rhythmic breathing sound coming from Qin Ruojing.

Unlike the last time, this time the smell and sound are exceptionally clear, so clear that even though Chu Ge hasn't opened his eyes, he can judge Qin Ruojing's posture and actions from the smell, because the scents from different positions of her body have slight differences.

For example, the shampoo scent in Qin Ruojing's hair differs slightly between the ends and roots, her bangs and sideburns also diverge a bit, her hands have the scent of hand cream, and her clothes and pants have different scents due to different materials.

Chu Ge opened his eyes, and the world appearing in his line of sight seemed especially distinct, with everything detailed and vivid, even a grain of sand in the corner several meters away, he could see the facets of that grain of sand, and sure enough, Qin Ruojing was leaning on the head of the hospital bed, her dark long hair cascading down, revealing a tired side face, obviously asleep.

"What... happened to me? This feeling... what is it?"

Chu Ge blinked his eyes, slowly sat up against the headboard, lowered his head, and looked at his hands that were stretched out flat, wrapped in a layer of gauze.

"Hmm..." A low hum reached Chu Ge's ears, and Qin Ruojing, who was sleeping by Chu Ge's bedside, raised her head, "You're awake."

After saying these three words, Qin Ruojing suddenly paused, and a strange feeling emerged in her heart, the Chu Ge before her... despite still looking the same, seemed somewhat unfamiliar. As for where exactly the unfamiliarity lay, she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Hmm." Chu Ge smiled, looking at the slightly reddened side of Qin Ruojing's face from sleeping prone, with a few hints of heartache in his eyes, "Isn't there a caregiver bed over there? Go sleep there."

Their eyes met, facing Chu Ge's smile, and the genuine warmth in his eyes, Qin Ruojing was still somewhat unable to come to her senses.

Not because of that inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity, but because since she had known Chu Ge, this was the first time she saw Chu Ge show such an expression to her.

Not the kind of mischievous, cheeky, arrogant, a bit childish and wicked smile, but an indescribably pure smile, pure like the first ray of dawn, warm enough to melt her heart.

"What's up? Is there something on my face?"

Chu Ge chuckled and asked again, his mouth gently curving upward, very softly upward.

Such a simple expression, yet it nearly brought Qin Ruojing to tears, not out of grievance, but happiness. The days of worry and fear, this nightmare has finally ended.

If only... that inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity and distance had disappeared, it would be even better.

"No, nothing's there." Qin Ruojing shook her head, lightly biting her lips, asking with some doubt: "Are you Chu Ge? The Chu Ge I know?"

"No, I'm not."

Chu Ge gently shook his head, Qin Ruojing's body stiffened, her gaze froze.

"Silly, if I'm not me then who am I?" Chu Ge suddenly flicked Qin Ruojing's forehead, his mouth curving up, revealing his usual signature smile, "You don't even recognize your husband, aren't you silly?"

Qin Ruojing laughed, genuinely laughed, laughing like a child, that unfamiliar feeling instantly dissipated without a trace.

Such an annoying smile, of course, is Chu Ge, it can only be Chu Ge.

"You're not angry with me?" Chu Ge gently combed Qin Ruojing's scattered hair with his fingers, softly asking.

"Angry, very angry." Qin Ruojing shook her head, bit her lip, then nodded her head.

"You've made yourself like this, do you know how many people are worried about you, how many are scared you might never wake up again? How can I not be angry with you?"

"Don't worry, it'll never happen again."

"Really? How can you guarantee that?"

"If I'm lying, I'm a puppy."

Chu Ge laughed again, saying: "Now, can you tell me why you said you wanted to separate that day?"
