Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 282 The Poison of Suspicion
It was still a busy day for the medical and health team.

There was a constant stream of patients, many of whom were familiar faces. The difference was that yesterday's illness had turned into today's injuries. Some had bloody heads, some had their arms broken off, and the most serious one came for treatment with a knife stuck in the abdomen.

It seems that the directors' entourage have also learned various combat skills like September and joined the unlimited combat school.

But the atmosphere made it hard to imagine that this was the solemn venue of the Sixteen Star Summit, rather than a back alley where gangsters were fighting. As the injuries of the injured being sent in became more and more serious, Duan Mingyuan couldn't help but worry that if this continued, sooner or later someone would die.

The other members of the medical team regained their confidence. Treating trauma is their specialty, and today's "patients" were much more normal. At least no one came to see a doctor with a cosmic-level difficult and complicated disease like "dehydration". They provided simple medical assistance to the less seriously injured, and then let them return to their respective rooms to rest. As for those with particularly serious injuries, they were arranged to go to the infirmary.

Although Duan Mingyuan could discharge these critically ill patients immediately, he still kept them in the infirmary for the sake of their safety.

Most of those seriously injured were members of the entourage of the eight directors who attended the dinner yesterday. They were regarded as traitors by others.

The patient with the most serious injuries was the one suffering from "dehydration". She had been cured of her terminal illness but had not had time to enjoy her new life. On her way to deliver documents today, she was stabbed by someone who ran out from the corner. Her back of the head was also cut open. She staggered to the infirmary, enduring the pain, and then fell into a coma.

Duan Mingyuan contacted the security chief, Mr. Coyote Twelve, who was collecting information about everyone who had been attacked.

"Something strange."

Not long after, Coyote Twelve walked out of the infirmary with a serious look on his face.

The first few people who were slightly injured argued with the accompanying personnel who questioned them and were then beaten up by the crowd. However, that was just a way to vent their emotions and the accompanying personnel did not want to make a big deal out of it. Although the patients who were sent in had bruises all over their bodies, they were not seriously injured.

But the injured who were sent in later, some seriously injured and some almost losing their lives, were different.

"They were all attacked without any warning, and we didn't see the attackers' faces clearly. The attackers' purpose was also very clear, and it didn't look like they were simply venting their anger."

The sudden appearance of so many injured people was undoubtedly a dereliction of duty on his part.

He admitted that he and Mocking Dove had been intimate in the room for a while in the morning, but the security personnel of the Gear Hotel were all professionals and should not have been unable to detect a few armed attackers. Coyote Twelve now wanted to question his subordinates in the monitoring room, what was wrong with their eyes?

"It should be an organized and purposeful attack. They seemed to know the victim's route and avoided patrolling security personnel and surveillance."

"What is the purpose?"

Duan Mingyuan was a little confused.

Well-trained, yet without causing harm to the lives of the wounded.

Take this patient suffering from "dehydration" for example. If her attacker had been more "professional" and stabbed her directly in the neck, she would not have been able to stumble here covered in blood.

“Maybe this is their purpose.”

Arriving outside the infirmary, Coyote Twelve was finally able to light a cigar. "The injured were all the entourage of the invited directors last night. For them, this was an act of revenge. For those who are wavering in their stance, such an act is likely to push them to the opposite side."

That's his opinion.

He felt that someone was making a big fuss about the suspicions among the directors, and the beneficiaries behind it were easy to guess.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Gear Hotel.

Tang Qianqian and Yang Ping stopped, or rather, an uninvited guest who suddenly came out from the corner blocked their way.

These people were wearing loose windbreakers, sunglasses and masks, and they were holding iron rods and knives, and they looked like they were not good people.

The retreat route behind them was also blocked. There were four people dressed in the same way. Without saying a word, after confirming the "target", they surrounded the two people in a pincer attack.

"who are you?"

Tang Qianqian asked, but no one answered.

"I advise you to stop it immediately!"

The four men ignored Tang Qianqian's warning. Their purpose was obvious. They waved iron bars and knives and rushed towards the two like street thugs in a fight.

The next moment, the weapons in the hands of several people deflected in a strange way, hitting the faces of their companions who were caught off guard. Some people accidentally tripped at this critical moment, and their faces hit the ground, and several teeth flew out. In less than a second, the four of them fell to the ground wailing.

The wounds were torn and the severe pain made them lie on the ground unable to move.

"I have already advised you to stop."

Tang Qianqian sighed.

If these people had listened to her advice, they would not have suffered such physical pain.

They had heard about the attack on the entourage a long time ago. The reason why she and Yang Ping appeared in the corridor at this time was a typical sting operation. In order to ensure safety, they used their best trick - calling for their master's wife.

But today, the master's wife hit him much harder than usual. Tang Qianqian saw that the man who tripped had his nose sunken in. It was not difficult to imagine how painful the fall was.

Jiu Yue went upstairs with a cold face. For her, covering several floors with a barrier was no problem at all.

The third prince believed that these attackers were not the directors’ entourage, but assassins planted by the Silver Lotus Family, with the purpose of muddying the waters and further causing conflicts among the directors.

She bent down and removed the mask from one of them.

However, the face that came into her sight made her stunned for a long time - although her face was disfigured by a blow from an iron rod, she could still vaguely recognize this face, as she had seen it in the restaurant before.

After some inspection, the facts did not seem to match the third prince's inference.

These four people were all members of the director's entourage and were staunch opponents. After their faces were revealed, they glared at them viciously, making it look like a simple act of revenge.

She sent the four people who were caught red-handed to the department where Coyote Twelve was located. However, the result of the interrogation left Coyote Twelve confused.

The four admitted that they had attacked the entourage of the "traitor" directors, and that there were other people like them in the hotel who also took action.

They believed that the directors were unable to rebuke the traitorous behavior of the eight directors due to the situation and lack of etiquette, so they could only teach these cowards a lesson on behalf of the directors.

They were not instigated by anyone; this was a completely spontaneous act to "punish traitors."

"Am I wrong?"

After the interrogation, Coyote Twelve leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that this incident was not actually a conspiracy of the Chamber of Commerce?
