The driver was also stunned by the scene, frozen and daring not to move.
"What's going on?"
Su Yao was also startled by the sudden change, looking around with a hint of panic in her eyes.
She was fairly certain that these people were here for them.
These men in black were all wearing helmets, their faces completely covered.
The leader directly knocked on the car window, telling the driver to open the door.
The driver looked back at the two people in the back, then at the black-clad figures who had already surrounded the car.
He had no choice but to unlock the car doors.
Wang Shu was instantly awakened at this moment. Seeing the situation outside, he was the first to open his door, sending the man in black who was about to open it flying.
"Lock the doors, I'll handle the outside!"
Wang Shu said to the people inside after getting out of the car, and then closed the door again.
The driver hesitated for a second, then nodded and locked the car. He then took out his phone and dialed the police.
"You people are too lawless! Inside the capital, under the Emperor's gaze, you dare to commit assault on the street?"
Wang Shu said, his face grim as he looked at the group of black-clad men wearing helmets.
The black-clad men were also startled by Wang Shu's sudden counterattack, and they all picked up their batons to prepare for a fight.
Wang Shu's heart trembled slightly as he looked at more than a dozen batons swinging towards him.
Although he possessed the inheritance of a master of traditional Chinese martial arts, due to his physical condition, he could not unleash its full power.
What he could exert now was less than ten percent of the inheritance's strength.
And now, facing these black-clad men wielding batons, who all seemed well-trained, he was unsure if he could handle them.
But before he could ponder this, their batons were already striking towards his head.
Wang Shu dodged and weaved, but the sheer number of them had blocked off all his escape routes.
As he dodged, Wang Shu's back took several heavy blows, nearly incapacitating him.
"Damn it, am I going to end up here today?"
Wang Shu cursed.
Then, steeling himself, he charged into the crowd of black-clad men.
They had weapons, so he had no advantage at a distance.
But as long as he got close to them, they would immediately fall into disarray.
Although he took several heavy blows from the batons as he charged into the crowd, Wang Shu gritted his teeth and pushed through.
Then, Wang Shu unceremoniously unleashed all the martial arts techniques in his mind.
He knocked down five or six of the black-clad men around him.
The other black-clad men, who were further away, quickly created distance.
They understood that once Wang Shu got close, they would be no match for him.
"Who sent you?"
Wang Shu stomped on the helmet of a fallen black-clad man, his eyes red as he questioned them.
The man whose helmet was crushed was so scared that he fainted.
The remaining black-clad men, witnessing Wang Shu's terrifying strength, broke out in a cold sweat.
"I'll give you one more chance, tell me, who sent you!"
Wang Shu asked again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The next moment, with a loud crack, another black-clad man's helmet on the ground was crushed.
"My patience is limited. If you don't speak now, the next thing to break won't be a helmet!"
Wang Shu said expressionlessly, his gaze chilling as he stared at the remaining black-clad men.
But in the next second, the sound of urgent police sirens rang out.
Vehicles with flashing blue lights were rapidly approaching in the distance.
Seeing this, the remaining black-clad men immediately scattered and fled.
Seeing the black-clad men escape, Wang Shu's tense heart finally relaxed.
He glanced at the approaching police cars, then collapsed straight onto the ground, just as he had on the stage of "The Voice of Weekly" that day.
...
"Warning! Host is in extreme danger!"
A cold and familiar mechanical prompt sounded again.
However, Wang Shu couldn't open his eyes.
"System, what's going on? Am I dead?"
Wang Shu asked in confusion.
This feeling was exactly the same as after he had fainted last time.
He could only hear the system's voice, but he couldn't see anything else.
"Detected host has received significant external force attack, currently in a state of severe coma."
The system replied.
"Severe coma? How long will I be in a coma?"
Upon hearing that he wasn't dead, but only severely comatose, Wang Shu's heart filled with joy.
"According to the injuries sustained by the host, the body's protective mechanism has been triggered. The host's body and organs may enter a state of continuous hibernation. The duration is unknown."
The system answered Wang Shu's question again.
"Am I going to be a vegetable then?"
Wang Shu was alarmed. According to the system's explanation, he might wake up now, or he might never wake up.
But he only had thirty days of lifespan left. If he remained in a coma for thirty days, wouldn't he just be dead?
"Is there any way to force myself awake like last time?"
Wang Shu quickly pressed, as he remembered being able to force himself awake the last time he fainted.
"Detected host is currently in a state of severe coma. Forcing awakening requires consuming five days of lifespan."
"Damn it, wasn't it only one day last time? This system is too much of a rip-off!"
Wang Shu felt like crying, but lying there was not an option.
"Force awakening, please!"
Wang Shu said helplessly.
Immediately, he felt a beam of white light illuminate his eyes.
The next moment, Wang Shu woke up.
At this moment, several doctors in white coats were shining flashlights into his eyes to examine him.
"He's awake!"
Seeing Wang Shu's eyeballs move, the doctor quickly shouted.
Su Yao and Lu Nan, who had been waiting anxiously, rushed to the bedside. Two police officers in uniform also approached.
"Boss, you're finally awake!"
Su Yao quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, saying with joy.
During that time, she had been very worried that Wang Shu would never wake up again.
"Don't worry, I'm tough enough, I won't die!"
Wang Shu forced a smile, though his injuries from the black-clad men hadn't disappeared.
His back alone had several bruises from the batons.
It was known that golf clubs were terrifying when used to hit people. With enough force, one could kill a person with a single swing.
Although Wang Shu couldn't be sure who had targeted him so viciously, he could roughly guess a few suspects.
"Mr. Wang Shu, do you recognize these people?"
The two police officers took out their phones and showed Wang Shu several photos for identification.
After looking at several photos, Wang Shu shook his head helplessly. He didn't recognize any of the people in the pictures, in fact, he had never seen them before.
"These are the thugs who attacked you tonight. We are still actively pursuing the others."
Seeing that Wang Shu didn't recognize them, the police officers said directly.
They couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this formidable man lying in the hospital bed.
When they arrived at the scene, although the young man was already on the ground,
Several thugs were still lying beside him. According to the descriptions from the two people in the car, these men were all subdued by this person named Wang Shu.
"Officer, did you find out who ordered them to attack me?"
Wang Shu asked curiously.
Hearing Wang Shu's question, the two police officers exchanged a smile and said to Wang Shu:
"These men haven't woken up yet, so we can't interrogate them!"
"Rest well, and we'll bring you good news!"
Seeing that Wang Shu was fine, the two police officers left the hospital after speaking.
"Strange, with your condition, how are you still alive?"
Just as everyone in the ward was starting to relax, the doctor looking at the medical records frowned.
He had just learned that the patient in front of him was suffering from terminal cancer.
According to the previous diagnosis, he should have already passed away, but now it seemed the cancer had no effect on him at all.
"Doctor, please go and rest. Thank you for your trouble!"
Wang Shu saw the doctor's confusion and urged him to rest.
After the doctor left the ward, Wang Shu got out of bed.
"Let's go back. No need to waste money at the hospital!"
Wang Shu said as he put on his shoes.
"But your injuries aren't healed yet!"
Su Yao looked at Wang Shu with concern.
"These are superficial injuries, they won't affect me. Let's go!"
Wang Shu, having put on his shoes, grabbed Su Yao and walked out of the ward, then quietly left the hospital.
"Brother Lu, remember to settle my bill tomorrow!"
Wang Shu said to Lu Nan, who was completely bewildered.
Lu Nan nodded quickly despite his confusion. The cost for tonight was not an issue for him.
After that, Wang Shu took Lu Nan's car to one of Lu Nan's properties.
"You can stay here tonight. I have 24-hour security to ensure your safety!"
Lu Nan said directly to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu readily agreed. It was indeed a rich second-generation's house.
The layout and taste of this house simply put those so-called hotels to shame.
Moreover, Wang Shu's departure from the hospital was precisely because he feared being attacked by thugs again that night.
"Boss, who do you think wants to harm us?"
After settling in, Su Yao sat beside Wang Shu and asked with confusion.
"Besides Wu Yifan, the only other person I can think of is one person! That's your suitor!"
Wang Shu said to Su Yao.
