“Hey, it is getting difficult to lead the team!” Cao Meng, who was lying in the hospital bed, sighed.

Several of his men had left the hospital. As they walked out, they saw the bald man that had beat them earlier in the day. The men couldn’t help but grow angry. One of the men waved his big hand and said, “Go follow him!”

In such a small seaside city, it was surprising that the people were not so easily bullied. The men felt they were passers-by in the city and wouldn’t be staying for too long, so they were not afraid of the bald man taking revenge on them.

The man who waved gritted his teeth and mumbled under his breath, “I could not defeat you, but I could disgust you to death. Engage in your family and quickly go away. What could you do?”

The bald man walked slowly and bought an ice cream at a stall.

“Boss, I am going to buy two ice creams,” one of the gang members said.

“Well, I want strawberry flavor,” another gang member said.

In this way, one person walked while eating ice cream, and the other four followed him eating the same ice cream.

“Hey, where is this guy going on such a hot day?” one of the men asked.

They came to a small park. The bald man entered the park.

“Go, keep up, don’t lose him,” the gang leader said.

When they entered, they found that the person was gone.

“Hey, where is he?” one of the gang members asked.

“Look around,” another gang member said.

Several people turned around inside without seeing anything. They were about to go back when there were suddenly more than a dozen people surrounding them from all sides.

“You are looking for me, aren’t you?” The bald man appeared, staring at the four people with a clinker stick.

“Looking for you?” one of the gang members asked. “What for? We are passing by. We saw that the park environment was good, so we came around, right?”

“Yes, we saw the good trees here,” another gang members said. “This flower, this grass, oh, it’s so beautiful.”

“Smash him!” the bald man yelled.

More than a dozen people swarmed and pressed the four people on the ground hard.

“Oh, it hurts,” one of the gang members said.

“Don’t beat my face!” another gang member screamed.

“Please! Oh, help, they will kill me!” yelled another gang member.

“Shut up,” the bald man said. “Damn it, you want to engage in my family. How dare you? Ah!”

The bald man rushed over to the gang member and heavily kicked him in his belly. The man bent his body in pain like a prawn.

After violently beating them, the dozens of people quickly dispersed. From the beginning to the end, there were no onlookers or police officers who arrived in time.

“Law and order are bad here,” the gang member said.

The four of them were beaten again and the original wounds were not even better. Their noses and faces were swollen, and their bodies hurt all over.

“Hey, brother, I don’t think we are suitable to stay here,” one of the gang members said.

“Yes, I agree,” another gang member said. “The bald man’s family also is staying at the hospital on the same floor. Do you think he would beat us every time he sees us? Fighting could be addictive.”

“Damn it, what about the boss and team?” the head gang member said. “We are a team. Do you have team awareness? Do you just shrink as whenever confronting a little difficulty.”

“Brother, do you want to take us to set up another team?” a gang member asked.

They were silent for a long time.

“The boss said that we must be united at all times and can’t split,” the gang leader said.

After returning to the hospital, Cao Meng saw that they were all swollen and bruised. They had not been like that in the morning. “What happened to you?”

“Brother, I have something at home,” one of the men said. “My grandfather just called. My grandmother passed away. I have to go back!”

“Hasn’t your grandma been dead for three years?” Cao Meng asked.

“My second grandmother,” his man said.

“Yes, then go back,” Cao Meng said.

“Brother, I have no money,” his man said. “Can you give me the income from last time?”

“Yes, yes, brother,” another one of his men said. “I have no money either. I want to buy a house for my son. You see, the house prices are rising day by day. Can you pay me my wages?”

“That does not make sense,” Cao Meng said. “You don’t even have a girlfriend. Where is your son?!”

“Future son,” the man said.

“Future? Look at who you are now. Don’t think about the future. I think it’s too far off,” Cao Meng said as he shuddered and took a card from his wallet. “Here, there is $100,000 in it. You four can share it.”

He told them all the password.

“Hey, thank you, boss.” The four men took the money and left happily.

“Brother, you gave money and let them go,” one of the sick gang members said. “What about us?”

“Yes,” another gang member said.

There were four sick gang members. Each of them needed health care since they could not take care of each other.

“They do not want to stay, even I want them to,” Cao Meng said.

“But…”

“Don’t worry.” Cao Meng gently waved his hand. He was confident.

As the four healthy gang members left the hospital, one of them said, “It’s worth celebrating. Let’s go have a drink!”

The four men went to a tavern to have drink. Each one of them got drunk. They went back to the hotel and slept for the afternoon. After waking up, they had to share the money. They went to a bank to withdraw money.

“What? Why is it just $80,000?” one of the men asked.

“$80,000? The boss said it was $100,000,” another man said.

“Look, the number is one eight followed by the four zeros,” the first man said.

“Brother, I know how to count,” the other man said.

“Brother, tell us the truth, did you withdraw the other $20,000 while we were drunk?” another man asked.

“Yes, you urged us to drink on the wine table,” the other man said.

“I also drank myself and was drunk,” the first man said. “I haven’t seen it!”

“Brother, you could not be drunk even after drinking thousands of cups of wine, and boss has said that you have the best acting skills among us,” the second man said. “You could even overtake those actors if you played in movies. Plus, it was not your first time pretending to be drunk. Each time, you perform vividly.”

“Yes,” the third man said.

“No, why don’t believe me?” the first man said.

“You guys selected me to be your leader, but now you have suddenly changed your ideas,” the first man said. “Our friendship cannot last long if you are doing so.”

“I understand,” the second man said. “This is a trick of the boss. One peach kills three of us!”

“It has nothing to do with a peach,” the third man said. “Let’s talk about money. The boss has never cheated us in terms of money!”

“Yes, brother, you have taken $20,000,” the second man said. “Take another $5,000 and leave the rest to us.”

“I didn’t take a penny,” the first man said. “I swear to God!”

“Don’t be noisy,” the third man said. He was suddenly stunned. “The card was taken by the machine!”

The four men were just standing there like four fools. No, they were real fools.

“What should we do next?” one of the men asked.

“We better make a call,” one of the men said.

They found a staff member. They were told they could pick up the card after three days with the ID card of the card holder. The four men just looked at each other.

“What should we do now?” one of the men asked.

“Let’s go back to find the boss,” another man said. “Boss is so clever!”

In Haiqu People’s Hospital, two young people in their 20s stood in front of Cao Meng’s bed. It was a young man with a gentle appearance and a good-looking girl.

“Brother, how did you become like this?” the young man asked.

“I encountered some difficulty with my work,” Cao Meng said. “How are you doing there?”

“It’s going quickly. The task is 90% completed,” the young man said. “The rest is up to time.”

“fYou should train to be a graduate student,” Cao Meng said.

“The combination of actual combat and theory is the most useful,” the young man said

“Come and sit down,” Cao Meng said. “I will tell you about it this time.”

He told them the whole without any reservation.

“Brother, can we retreat if it does not work?” the young man Cao He, asked.

“Retreat, why?” Cao Meng asked.

“We have no advantage of good chances, proper time, or competent people,” Cao He said. “If this person is really a local famous doctor, he must have considerable prestige. How many patients has he cured? If he contacts those people, they may help him. In that aspect, we have no help or good chances. They need him in case they develop conditions one day.”

“The only advantage we have is the foreign aid you have never met,” Cao Meng said.
