Chapter 19: Tang Man's Rescue

Chapter Nineteen: Tang Man's Rescue

She narrowed her eyes. "What do you want with Wen Jin?"

A fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he swore, "I'm his cousin. That bitch blocked me and changed her number. She used to eat and live at my house when we were kids, and now that she's all grown up, she's blocked our whole family."

Tan Donglin clenched his fists. "She even dared to move out secretly. Let's see where she can run this time."

Lin Zhiying was secretly delighted, and her wicked ideas began to sprout and spread like vines.

It was truly God's help to her.

She remained outwardly calm, pretending not to understand the man's intentions, and covered her mouth with a laugh, "So you're Jin Ye's cousin. Don't worry, Jin Ye is doing very well now. He just landed a top interview, and he's probably making a fortune."

Sure enough, a greedy look instantly appeared on the man's face. "Can you take me up to find her?"

“Not only that, I can also give you all her contact information.” Lin Zhiying slowly extended her index finger and shook it. “But don’t go up there and cause trouble. The security at the TV station is not to be trifled with, and this area won’t tolerate you causing trouble.”

"Then what should I do?" Tan Donglin's patience ran out. "That bitch is avoiding me."

“Going up directly to her poses no threat whatsoever. If you want Wen Jin to obey, you need to control her lifeline.”

Lin Zhiying's eyes darted around, and she whispered, "I'll teach you a trick. If you follow my instructions, I guarantee Wen Jin will give you as much as he has."

"The premise is... that you have to follow the plan."

Wen Jin didn't work overtime today; she was going to the hospital to see Tang Man.

However, things in life are unpredictable.

The person who was confidently declaring on WeChat in the late afternoon that he would teach Wen Jinye the methods of evil cultivation was admitted to the emergency room that evening.

When Wen Jin rushed to the hospital, Tang Man had just been transferred to the ICU and was not yet fully conscious.

Tang Man's husband sat listlessly on a hospital bench, his eyes vacant with excessive tension.

“You’re here.” His voice was hoarse and he pointed to the thermos next to the chair. “Tang Man guessed you wouldn’t have time for dinner, so the aunt next door made corn and pork rib soup for you at noon. It’s still warm.”

Wen Jin's nose tingled with emotion. "What did the doctor say?"

"With conservative treatment, it will last at most three months."

Wen Jin also held onto hope, "So there are still less conservative ways?"

“Yes.” The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his expression became even more dejected. “But this is not a treatment that ordinary people like us can afford. This treatment is only available in Y country. There are very few experts in the country who know it. If we have to count, there is only one doctor who returned from Y country and specializes in this field abroad, but we can’t contact him at all.”

He paused, his heart sinking. "People might not necessarily want to cause trouble for themselves, after all, the surgery is extremely risky."

But Tang Man was a living, breathing human being, one of the few people in her life who had given her warmth, and Wen Jin couldn't simply let things take their course.

Do you know what that expert's name is?

Tang Man's husband nodded. "The attending physician told me that his name seems to be Zhou Jichen."

Zhou, Ji, Chen.

Wen Jin silently repeated these three words in her heart, her thoughts being drawn back to the distant age of 17.

The 19th graduating class of Jiangbei No.1 Middle School has produced many outstanding figures.

One is Fu Yanjing, who used to live with the Xu family. He is a carefree boy with a mysterious background who uses his good looks to commit crimes. He attracted the attention of the whole school on his first day of transferring to the school.

The other one is Xu Xiangbai, the eldest son of the Xu Group. He is lawless and unruly, but he is willing to be Fu Yanjing's little shadow.

There's another one, Zhou Jichen.

Unlike the other two, he came from a scholarly family, was gentle, humble, self-disciplined and respectful of etiquette, and was a good student in the eyes of all the teachers.

It's hard to imagine that the three of them would form such a strong and stable relationship.

It's even harder to imagine that An Yu, with her cheerful and carefree personality, would have had such a passionate and intense crush on him during her youthful years.

On the day Zhou Jichen graduated, An Yu personally handed him a handwritten letter. She truly liked him, but the letter was full of wishes for a bright future for him.

But he didn't even look at her. "An, study hard. I'm not interested in pretty but empty-faced girls."

In an instant, his idealized image shattered in An Yu's eyes.

That night, An Yu cried her heart out.

"Am I all looks? I'm kind, generous, warm-hearted, and brave, yet he only saw my beauty. He's blind!"

Wen Jin returned home with a heavy heart, and sure enough, her phone started buzzing incessantly.

While she was taking a shower, her WeChat page already had 99+ messages, all of which came from Ms. An, who had just finished taking photos.

That blind freak went back to his country. How laughable! He went abroad, got a fancy degree, and now he comes back calling himself a professor.

You have no idea how many people are talking about it in the No. 1 High School alumni group; it's incredibly lively.

[Some people say he'll be starting work at Jiangbei City Hospital in three months. Why? Because he wants to relax first. He looks relaxed, too.]

I'm fed up. When I suddenly see his news, it's like my eyes have been insulted by a lewd advertisement; they scream, twist, and crawl in darkness. Just thinking about how I genuinely liked him and was met with his mockery makes me want to smash his upright and honorable face.

There are also many chat logs that An Yu forwarded from the alumni group.

Upon graduation, Wen Jin also applied to Gangcheng University. After leaving Jiangbei, she canceled all her contact information.

Therefore, Wen Jin currently does not have any groups related to former classmates or alumni.

An Yu relayed all the slightest news and rumors.

Looking at the WeChat page filled with messages from An Yu, Wen Jin could even imagine the expression on An Yu's face as she rolled her eyes to the sky.

Sometimes Wen Jin really envies An Yu, who dares to love and hate.

Love can be passionate and intense, but when love fades, it can also be turned away and let go.

Wen Jin carefully scrolled through Yan Yu's messages, and when she saw the news that Zhou Jichen would not start work for another three months, a wave of disappointment overwhelmed her.

Tang Man simply cannot wait three months.

Moreover, even if one could wait for him, it would be extremely difficult to get an appointment with an expert like him; there are countless patients from all over the country seeking his medical help.

Wen Jin rubbed her temples wearily, her fingertips trembling slightly as she typed on the screen.

An Yu, I might be dragging you down again.

Like An Yu, she could no longer participate in the activities that turned her fans against Zhou Jichen and subjected him to insults.

An Yu remained silent for only three minutes.

She understood everything.

An Yu: [Has your team leader's condition worsened?]

Wen Jin replied: 【Yes.】

After chatting briefly with An Yu, Wen Jin also opened her long-dormant Weibo account.

Xu Xiangbai has been found.

If we were to rank the wealthy young men of Jiangbei City, Xu Xiangbai would undoubtedly be a prominent figure, consistently topping the list.

She's outgoing, has a wild personality, and is loved by many minor female celebrities and internet personalities. She's also someone who loves surfing the internet and sharing her life.

In high school, Wen Jin also used a secondary account to follow Xu Xiangbai in order to keep an eye on Fu Yanjing.

Wen Jin also clicked into his homepage, where he shared all about his success in entertainment venues, and the photos featured many different beautiful women.

The latest Weibo post was just published, taken at the airport.

After many years, the F3 has finally been reunited.

As a result, many online celebrities rushed to comment.

Where is Young Master Xu planning to go for fun?

[Who is this Mr. Xu's friend? Let us get to know him!]

[Young Master Xu, it's been so long since we hung out together. When are you going to invite me? Have you forgotten about me?]

Xu Xiangbai replied to some and didn't reply to others.

They spoke casually, seemingly flirting, but were actually not serious.

Wen Jin also flipped through the entries one by one.

Finally, I saw news that was in my favor.

He didn't know which of his confidantes he was referring to, but the reply was: "Sure, come to the Huai Mi Club tomorrow night at seven, mention your name, Young Master Xu, and it'll work."
