The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 224 - An Injured Man

Chapter 224 - An Injured Man

Even though Mo Li knew how stringent Quan Yu's training was, she finally saw his people's real ability today.
Soon, Leader Gao's men returned with 2 captives. One of them was probably the criminal's leader, the other was dropped by the soldier to the ground. "I believe they attacked us for this kid!" The soldier pointed at the man on the ground.
The man was heavily injured. A nurse went to examine the man's wrists and ankles. "Look at these traces. They seem to be left behind by some kind of rings."
Qin Xuan had studied shackle injuries due to a case that he had in the past. The victim at the time had the same traces as this man. "These should be left behind by heavy metal shackles...." Who was this man that he was tortured so heavily? It appeared like this man was the terrorists' captive and not one of them.
"The wounds on the other parts of his body are filled with wooden thorns. He must have been severely tortured!" Another nurse helped the man up and wiped the grime from his face. "The kid is quite handsome actually."
Hearing that, the other nurses leaned over. "He's indeed good-looking. Actually he looks a little like Mo Li! His nose and his eyes, they are similar to Doctor Mo Li's!"
"In any case, why would those terrorists torture this man? Furthermore, we're at a border station and we have limited supply. We can only do our best and pray that he'll survive."
The man was carried to the infirmary. The man was unable to move or say anything but his mind was conscious.
Qin Xuan came to examine the man in bed. His body was covered in whip and club wounds. Based on Qin Xuan's experience, the man should be dead already. He must have a very strong desire to live. He studied the man's mouth which had been torn apart. Then Qin Xuan moved to check the man's chest. There was a very deep wound there. He pressed there hard and the man hissed in pain.
The man's breathing turned ragged. To help the man, Qin Xuan lifted the man's head. He then noticed the man's handsome face. This is... Mo Li? Qin Xuan shook his head to chase that thought out of his mind. The man looked eerily similar to Mo Li. Qin Xuan felt like he was looking at an elf prince who had walked out from a story book.
The man in bed couldn't have much rest because his mind kept repeating the things those bastards had said. "You bunch of trash! Are any of you mind-readers? How do you expect him to talk when you have beaten him into a pulp?! He's going to die before we can get the info out of him! Put him down now! Clean his wound and go find some saline water and medicine. When he's better, the torture shall continue."
The man moved his fingers as if unwilling to recall what he had experienced on the ship, the dirty things and the wounds that kept oozing blood.
Who is it? Who has ordered this hit on me?
Mo Li entered the room and saw the man breaking out in cold sweat. His lips were moving. His fingers which had been deformed from the torture were still trembling.
Mo Li only came to visit the man because she heard from Qin Xuan that the man's injuries were worth studying. After all, not that many people could survive being tortured for so long. But when Mo Li saw the man, her heart trembled because this man was none other than her brother, Mo Xiao!
Mo Li had no idea what Mo Xiao had gone through. She saw from the machine that his body temperature was rising. She immediately prepared some cooling water for him.
Mo Xiao resisted instinctively when he heard the sloshing of water... When he was on the ship, the bastards applied water torture on him. High pressure water jets shot at him every time he felt like fainting. Thankfully, Mo Xiao could always see the silver lining. The water jets also helped clean his body.
Mo Li frowned. Seeing Mo Xiao's reaction, Mo Li believed he would suffer from PTSD.
