Chapter 503 – The Mafia King Learns His Lesson
Wei shook him aside and pushed him away. "You shouldn't have saved me. I am not your Boss anymore. I am not the Mafia King either."
Chang Fang's heart broke to see Wei in such a bad state. "Boss, what are you saying! You will always be the Mafia King! The title that that bastard stole from you by such cruel means doesn't count! We will take back your position from him and…"
But by then, Wei started coughing. He felt pain in his abdomen and felt slightly dizzy. Even if he hadn't tried to show it, his body was still badly tortured.
"Boss!" He widened his eyes. "I am such an idiot! You are hurt, and I kept blabbing so stupidly."
He stood by his side and hung Wei's arm around his neck. Wei mumbled. "I failed Lihua…I couldn't save her…Why am I still alive? Leave me alone…"
Chang Fang sniffled, and tears streamed down his cheeks. Wei had already fainted, mumbling to himself.
When he woke up again a few hours later, he found himself staring at the ceiling of a rundown apartment.
"Boss is awake! Boss is awake!" One of Chang Fang's minions happily exclaimed.
The other minion slapped his head hard. "Idiot! Can't you see Boss is still waking up!? Be quiet and respectful! Go call Boss Chang!"
He ran away.
The other minions had their heads bowed in front of Wei. "Boss! We are so glad you are awake…"
The others felt emotional, seeing Wei alive and conscious. "We are so happy to meet you again."
"Boss!"
Chang Fang came running at lightning speed as his minion delivered the news. "Boss!" He cried. "You woke up! I was so worried! I thought the doctor gave you poison because you weren't waking up at all…" he wiped his eyes.
The minion who had slapped on the other minion's head couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
You are being loud too! Let Boss wake up in peace.
"H-Hey let me go! You hooligans!" They heard a crying voice coming from outside.
Minion 2 dragged an elderly man inside, who was protesting with all his might. "I am saying this is kidnapping! I will report you to the police!"
Chang Fang glared at him. "Don't you see Boss is injured? Isn't it your moral responsibility to help Boss as a doctor?"
"Be moral yourself first!" He cried. "Who kidnaps someone in broad daylight and threatens to treat a patient?"
"What do we do? You weren't coming with us when we properly asked."
The elderly doctor was stunned. "Ask? You were pointing a gun at me for God's sake! I was scared out of my wits, okay? Who in the right mind would go with goons pointing a gun at you?"
"Stop with your nonsense! Look, Boss is awake. So start with your bandages!"
His mouth twitched. "I have already treated his injuries."
"Then apply more bandages. Boss shouldn't shed a single drop of blood!"
"Do you want me to make him a mummy!? I am a doctor, and I know what I am doing."
Minion 3 pressed his gun on his temple. "Go check on Boss."
The doctor gulped and carefully sat beside Wei. He took his hand to check his pulse when Chang Fang flared his nostrils. "Don't be so rough! If you hurt Boss, I am gonna shoot you through the head!"
The doctor gritted his teeth. "I am a sixty-seven years old professional and experienced doctor. Do you think I will hurt my patient? Quiet!"
The doctor did his basic checkup and asked a few questions to Wei. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Wei didn't respond.
"Tell me if you feel pain at any particular spot. I will apply some more medicine."
He said nothing.
"Please answer my questions, young man, or it would only delay your treatment."
Chang Fang scowled. "Are you threatening Boss? You dare!? Boss is Boss. If he doesn't want to answer your questions, then he won't."
"Then he cannot recover soon enough."
"That's your job, and if you don't do it properly, then I am gonna kill you."
The doctor cursed Chang Fang in his mind.
Minion 5 sniffled and gasped. "Doctor. Actually, Boss is really feeling hurt."
"Where?"
"His heart."
"…"
"Just look at Boss. He looks so blank, which he always seemed like that from before too…"
Chang Fang nodded.
"But now, he is more blank. It's all because Ludo Lady isn't here…"
All the minions burst into tears at once.
"Who is Ludo Lady?"
"Boss's wife!"
He choked.
What's with that nickname?
"Then why isn't she with him?"
"Because she is kidnapped by an evil man!"
And you guys are any less evil? He couldn't help but think to himself. Why am I not so surprised hearing this?
The doctor sighed. "Look, I can treat his external injuries. But you guys…seem close to him in your own way. You should help him think positive. Take help of police to save his wife."
"We cannot do that."
"Somehow I could understand why you wouldn't do that…But whatever and however it is, you have to take action."
The doctor then looked at Wei, who still wasn't making any movements.
"Young man. Do you love your wife?"
That question finally earned a reaction from Wei. He slightly trembled.
Chang Fang chimed in. "Boss! You love your unborn child too, right?"
Wei's eyes slowly widened that were tearing up.
The doctor was shocked. "She is pregnant?"
"Ludo Lady is pregnant! Boss is gonna be a father soon…" the gang cried once again.
The doctor said, "Young man, then you definitely shouldn't be lying like this in depression. You need to save them, don't you?"
Wei parted his trembling lips. A tear slipped out of his eye. "I failed. I wanted to save them today, but I f-failed…I am pathetic. I couldn't keep my promise to her…"
"So? Does that mean you will give up? Failures happen all the time. You cannot win everytime in life. It just doesn't happen that way. In fact, failure teaches you lessons. What you shouldn't do the next time, what you should be doing, what should you be careful of and much more. Failure teaches you not to repeat the same mistake again.. Today's loss has hit you very hard, right? So make sure that it's the last time."
