A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 259 Revisiting the Past

In the evening, Wang Guowei returned home.

"You're back?"

An unfamiliar voice rang out.

"yes."

Wang Guowei said subconsciously, then seemed to realize something.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Jiang Shuzhou, who was completely shrouded in a robe, Wang Guowei asked warily, while his hand unconsciously reached for his waist.

"Stop touching it, the gun is useless against me."

"You are... Xiao Jiang?"

"It's surprising that you still remember me, Xiao Wang."

Upon recognizing Jiang Shuzhou's voice, Wang Guowei calmed down.

"Are you really going there to work?"

"At your age, still so immature? What, did you become a masked vigilante?"

Normal people don't carry guns, let alone Wang Guowei's alertness just now.

"Xiao Jiang, you, you're different now."

"I'm not the same person anymore. Alright, let's not talk about the old times. Let's talk about you first."

"How many people did you kill?"

"I……"

"to be honest."

An inexplicable force compelled Wang Guowei to reveal the truth.

"About seven or eight."

"That's good. What about yesterday?"

"I killed seven or eight people in total, they were all criminals, I saw it with my own eyes..."

Wang Guowei's emotions were somewhat out of control.

It seems this upright police officer has finally gone to the other extreme.

He started resorting to vigilante justice.

"That's not my concern."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, signaling to stop.

"Where are Li Na and that guy surnamed Song?"

Jiang Shuzhou came here this time to put his fate back on its original trajectory.

His father died saving someone back then, but Jiang Shuzhou never blamed him. After all, the person was dead, and besides, everyone has the right to make their own choices.

Perhaps if given the chance again, he would still choose to save people.

However, even so, Jiang Shuzhou also has the right to take his anger out on others. He is not a good person, so he can do whatever he wants.

"They are in a VIP luxury ward at Jiming Hospital, but I don't know exactly which one."

That's enough. Jiang Shuzhou will naturally find out the rest.

"By the way, what's the story behind your resignation?"

Wang Guowei paused for a moment, then spoke.

The reason I went to see you is because…

Then, Wang Guowei began to tell his story.

Jiang Shuzhou ignored most of what was said, and after some distillation, he understood the whole story.

Back then, Officer Wang was forced by Li Jie, Li Na's father, to meet Jiang Shuzhou because Li Na was ill and needed an organ transplant.

Jiang Shuzhou had undergone a physical examination and was selected as a match, so Wang Guowei was dispatched. Originally, these people planned to forcibly abduct him, but on the one hand, Li Jie was just a businessman. Although he had connections, he was far from being able to control everything.

He couldn't cover up the fact that he was forcibly kidnapped under surveillance.

On the other hand, it's possible that they thought Jiang Shuzhou would do the same thing as his father to save people.

At first, Wang Guowei knew nothing. He thought Li Jie simply wanted Jiang Shuzhou to go and take a look.

He later learned that it was because he had witnessed someone having their heart and soul ripped out in front of him.

These are all irrelevant things. Ever since he failed to seduce Jiang Shuzhou, he has been under pressure from all sides. Wang Guowei is also a tough guy, and he forcefully withstood the pressure to protect Jiang Shuzhou.

That's why Jiang Shuzhou wasn't disturbed.

The rest of the plot is all cliché. The direct reason for Officer Wang's resignation is that he was given a notice from his superiors, and someone also threatened him with his daughter. In the end, he gave in.

During this time, he tried to report it, but to no avail. In the end, he took this path.

It's a pretty melodramatic story, but it's actually quite normal.

Where is your daughter?

"I sent her to stay with relatives; it's too dangerous here."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"For justice."

Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips, but didn't mock him. Although this person was somewhat foolish, he had accomplished something. He could kill one person every two months and even got a gun.

"Your place is so shabby, don't you have any plans to improve it?"

"I looked for work, but I could only do short-term jobs."

It's obvious without even thinking that it was Li Jie who suppressed them.

"Sigh, you two are a pair of star-crossed lovers. Fine, since you helped me out at least once, I'll help you out too."

Jiang Shuzhou couldn't explain what Wang Guowei had gone through; he could only be described as an ordinary person, which was quite contradictory.

He was too bound by traditional morality. He already had a gun, so even if he wanted to rob someone, he could at least double-cross them, but he didn't do it.

"listen to me."

Wang Guowei's eyes were unfocused.

"You're back home, and the weather outside is really nice, so you're thinking of buying some scratch-off lottery tickets. There's a really nice shop about a kilometer away. You can buy what you like; who knows, you might win and improve your life at home!"

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou disappeared without a trace. The camera couldn't capture his image; there were no fingerprints, no hair, no footprints, nothing at all.

What's wrong with me?

Wang Guowei snapped out of his reverie; he seemed to have been thinking about something.

"By the way, the weather outside is really nice, why don't I go buy some scratch cards to play? I think there's a shop about a kilometer away."

Wang Guowei looked at the dark sky outside and muttered to himself.

He then rode his electric bike, ignoring the lottery shop at the entrance of the residential area, and went directly to a place a kilometer away.

"Hey bro, which one do you want?"

Wang Guowei picked out a few he liked and started shaving them on the spot.

"Holy crap, I won, bro, I won!"

"One and a half million!"

This is a considerable sum of money, enough for Wang Guowei to improve his life.

Soon, Wang Guowei's memories of Jiang Shuzhou gradually faded. He tried hard to recall, but could only think that there seemed to be a person, but he had completely forgotten what that person looked like and what his name was.

After all, forgetting is a human instinct.

It's normal to forget someone you haven't seen or had much contact with for a year.

Jiang Shuzhou strolled through Jimin Hospital.

This is a private hospital, and excellent technology and perfect service are its guiding principles, but the price is not so attractive.

"Doctor, what about this month's medication costs...?"

"570,000, go pay the fees."

"But……"

"What, do you want me to pad this for you?"

"Director Liu, please don't say that. The patient might..."

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Director Liu interrupted him.

"Dr. Zhao, you come from a public hospital, so you may not be used to it yet. But you don't need to worry about that. Just focus on treating patients and saving lives. I'll collect the medical fees; you don't need to worry about that."

"However, I advise you that we do not accept unpaid bills here. If you cannot afford it, you can go to a public hospital. Of course, if you are planning to pay for someone else, I have no objection."

In the distance, the deceased's family members were wailing and crying.

Their loved ones died.

Hospitals are always like this, filled with life and death, joy and sorrow.
