444: Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-One: Traditional Chinese Medicine 444: Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-One: Traditional Chinese Medicine A girl, and a beautiful one at that, yet her codename was Bat, which severely contradicted her image.
However, putting aside physical resemblance, there could only be one explanation for Lucica’s codename.
“Your codename is Bat because you have exceptionally good hearing, right?”
Lucica nodded and said, “That’s right, I can hear some subtle sounds and deduce many things based on them.
In the jungle, this skill is very useful.”
Gao Yang had once witnessed Lucica’s abilities.
After pondering for a moment, he said, “Here’s the thing, we don’t fully understand your combat skills yet, and I’m also unsure if a woman can adapt to the Mercenary Group’s lifestyle.
However, I can give you a chance to join the Satan Mercenary Corps.
After we have evaluated you, and if no one opposes your formal inclusion, then you will qualify to officially join us.”
Lucica held her head high and said, “No problem, I won’t let you down.”
“As a woman, you joining us will definitely bring some inconveniences, but I must make it clear that whatever problems arise, you’ll need to try to adapt to us, not the other way around.
Any problem with that?”
“No problem.”
“Good, the last requirement is for both you and Bruce.”
Gao Yang paused, looked at Bruce and Lucica, and said very seriously, “Given your romantic relationship, at no time can either of you allow it to affect the entire team, especially during combat.
No matter what happens, the two of you must never endanger the safety of everyone else because of your relationship.
If it happens even once, then both of you will have to leave the Satan Mercenary Corps.
No warnings, no second chances.”
Bruce nodded and said, “Boss, don’t worry, I know what’s more important.”
Lucica also nodded and said, “I can do it.
I know what I should and shouldn’t do.”
Gao Yang laughed heartily and said, “Since you both agree, then welcome aboard, Bat.
I hope you can become an official member of the Satan Mercenary Corps soon.”
Having spoken the harsh words upfront and issued a serious warning, the mood finally relaxed.
Li Jinfang lifted his arm and nudged Cui Bo with his elbow, laughing, “Rabbit, the two of us need to think of something.
We’re still single.
F**k, Rabbit, what’s wrong with you?”
After elbowing Cui Bo, Cui Bo’s face turned green with pain, as he grimaced and held his left chest, showing a face full of agony.
Hearing Li Jinfang’s question, Cui Bo still tried to act tough and said, “It’s nothing, you just used too much strength, you jerk.”
Gao Yang sensed something was wrong and immediately asked, “Test Tube, what’s wrong with Rabbit?”
Bruce frowned and said, “Rabbit got hit in the left chest.
The bullet didn’t penetrate the body armor, but it hit a spot without a plate inserted.
It must be very painful.
F**k, what’s the matter with you, Rabbit?
You don’t look like you’re fine.”
As Bruce spoke, he approached Cui Bo and reached out to unfasten Cui Bo’s bulletproof vest, but at that moment, Cui Bo started dodging and said, “Don’t touch, don’t—seems like a rib is broken.”
On hearing this, Bruce became anxious and raised his voice, “F**k, you idiot!
You said it was nothing!
F**k, moving around so vigorously with a broken rib could lead to a pneumothorax or hemothorax, that’s f**king life-threatening!”
On hearing this, Gao Yang’s face also turned green, but it was from anger.
“F**k, dead Rabbit, you really f**king want to die, don’t you!”
Gao Yang’s hand swung up again, but seeing Cui Bo’s pained expression, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to slap him.
Instead, he just roared, “Aren’t you f**king hurrying to take off that bulletproof vest!
Are you waiting to f**king die?
Damn, you’re just f**king looking for trouble, bastard.”
Cui Bo propped up his arm, and after Li Jinfang helped him remove his backpack and stuff, he also helped Cui Bo take off his bulletproof vest.
During this process, Li Jinfang also grumbled, “Rabbit oh Rabbit, you’re something else, always causing trouble, just keep it up.”
Feeling very guilty, Cui Bo said, “I didn’t notice anything at first, then it began to hurt a bit later on, but I didn’t take it too seriously.”
After finally getting everything that needed to be taken off, Cui Bo’s left armpit revealed a large bruise.
Bruce carefully pressed on Cui Bo’s bruised area for a long time before he finally took a deep breath and then firmly slapped Cui Bo’s bruise.
Amidst Cui Bo’s screams and howls, Bruce grumpily said, “It’s nothing serious, the ribs aren’t broken, at most it’s a fracture.
We’ll get an X-ray later to confirm.
For now, just avoid any strenuous activity.”
Cui Bo angrily said, “Bruce, you bastard, knowing it’s a fracture and still you smack it so hard, you did that on purpose, you asshole.”
Li Jinfang wore a grave expression, saying, “Let me have a look; I still think it might be a broken rib.
Let me check.”
Cui Bo looked at Li Jinfang doubtfully, “Can you even do it?
Bruce just said it’s fine, what can you see?”
Li Jinfang replied annoyedly, “I can’t treat it, but I’ve seen enough broken ribs in the army to know at a glance whether you’re fine or not.
Stand still and don’t move.”
Cui Bo, somewhat doubtful, raised his arm, and Li Jinfang, putting on a show of examining, unexpectedly slapped Cui Bo’s bruise when he wasn’t ready.
As Cui Bo jumped from pain again, Li Jinfang said calmly, “Ha, told you it’s not broken.”
“You’re dead, Toad, that was on purpose too, damn it, you scoundrel!”
Li Jinfang disdainfully said, “You believed me when I said I could check?
Idiot, that’ll teach you a lesson.”
Heartbroken and angry, Cui Bo watched as Gao Yang shouted loudly, “Enough, let me tell you, Rabbit, this isn’t over yet.
If the X-ray shows something, just wait for your bad luck.
Toad, Rabbit needs to practice his close combat skills, I’m handing him over to you.
When we get back, train him properly for me.”
Gao Yang was truly infuriated by Cui Bo, resolving that once they were back, he wouldn’t let Cui Bo get away easily.
But before he gave Cui Bo a thorough punishment, Gao Yang still had to worry about Cui Bo’s injuries.
After cursing out Cui Bo for a bit, he angrily picked up the phone and walked aside, dialing Ivan’s number.
Once Ivan answered the call, Gao Yang immediately said, “Ivan, my man’s been hurt, we need to find a hospital to get an X-ray.
I want to know if we can just find any hospital ourselves or wait for you to arrange it after you get here.”
“What kind of injury?”
“Looks like a broken rib, we’re not too sure yet.
I want to find the best hospital and doctor to confirm.”
“Oh, bone injury huh?
I know a doctor, a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, who is quite amazing at treating bone injuries.
I’ll take you there after I arrive.
I can come over tonight, just wait for me then.” (To be continued.
