Su Tao's shot completely overturned Lei Xing's entire impression of her.

"Boss Su, you are a heroine. I, Lei Xing, have misjudged you before."

Su Tao glanced at him: "How did you look at me before?"

Lei Xing frankly said, "I judged people by appearances. I have gender bias. Boss Su is so young and good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be so strong-willed. No wonder he's managed Taoyang so well."

Su Tao shook her head and said, "It's not my credit. We have many talented women in Taoyang. Without Manager Zhuang, whom I just introduced to you, Taoyang wouldn't be as orderly as it is today. And there's also Manager Qian, who manages the plantation. The fresh vegetables you eat are all cultivated by her team. Even our youngest, Rongrong, is an expert in managing money."

Finally, she half-jokingly said, "Captain Lei, don't underestimate women. Our cleaning supervisor is a capable manager. Without her, we wouldn't have such a clean and comfortable environment like Taoyang and such dedicated cleaning staff."

Lei Xing suddenly saw a light in her that he had never seen before. It was a kind of tolerance and magnanimity that many strong men did not have, and it had a fatal attraction.

He bared his fangs and said, "Boss Su, we'd like to stay for a month. Is seven double rooms possible?"

"Come to Taoyang tomorrow to find Zhuang Wan to check you in. By the way, have Huoshe come to the clinic to see Dr. Zhong at 8 pm."

Fire Snake was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The other brothers came over with laughter to help express their gratitude, and then rushed to the fountain to play in the water.

Zhuang Wan saw them running away like children and said to Su Tao:

"Chen Yang told me this morning that he also wanted to be a freelance mercenary warrior. I asked him why, and he said it was so he could drive a cool motorcycle. I rolled my eyes at him right then and there."

As soon as Su Tao finished speaking, she saw Chen Yang excitedly running over to play with Lei Xing and his group.

Zhuang Wan held her forehead with her hand and said, "Forget it. The people in Baotu seem quite decent. They can also let Chenyang learn how to be a man."

Su Tao asked, "Where's Chenxi? Did she go to see Dr. Zhong again?"

A smile appeared on Zhuang Wan's face. "Yes, she has been following Doctor Zhong as his assistant. She just learned how to use the blood pressure monitor. This morning, a tenant came to see the doctor, and she could roughly tell what was wrong. Doctor Zhong was right beside her, giving her instructions and prescribing medicine."

Su Tao was surprised, then smiled and said, "Chenxi's talent is too good. No wonder Dr. Zhong likes her so much. She will be our Taoyang's little miracle doctor in the future."

Zhuang Wan was embarrassed: "That's too much. I just wanted her to be able to help the tenants with headaches and fevers in the future, and to ensure the basic operation of the clinic when Dr. Zhong is away."

Su Tao was full of expectations: "Chenxi will have a great future. Doctor Zhong is such a good teacher."

Zhuang Wan nodded. "He was also a good father and a good husband. He had a wife and children before, but they all died of illness. Because there was no medicine, he could only watch them pass away. Even after more than ten years, he still misses them."

Su Tao was stunned.

That's too uncomfortable.

He studied medicine and had the miraculous ability to regenerate severed limbs, but when faced with a disease for which there was no cure and which was beyond the scope of his abilities, the feeling of powerlessness and despair was probably only understood by Zhong Gaoyi himself.

The two were chatting when Liu Panpan suddenly came running over and said with some embarrassment:

"Boss Su, Wu Zhen attempted suicide again. He was just rescued. This is the third time. Mr. Mei was so scared that he almost fainted. He has been worried sick these past two days. He can't eat during the day and can't sleep well at night. He is always on edge. I can see that he has lost all his energy in the past two days. I am so worried that I came to you without his consent. Can you persuade him to stop worrying about Wu Zhen's affairs?"

"If I'm wrong, please don't mind me, Boss. I'm really heartbroken seeing Mr. Mei like this. He finally recovered thanks to Dr. Zhong's arrival, and now..."

Su Tao frowned: "It's useless for Elder Mei to talk to him. Does he still not want to live?"

Liu Panpan nodded worriedly: "He seems to have lost his soul. Mr. Mei talks to him, but he doesn't listen at all and keeps talking to himself."

Zhuang Wan sighed and said, "Another poor man who lost his wife and children. He's really putting too much pressure on Old Mei. Why don't we give him a room of his own and find someone else to look after him?"

Su Tao thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "Take me to see it first."

As soon as she entered the room, Su Tao saw Wu Zhen tied to the sofa. His hair and body were wet, and his head was tilted. She didn't know if he was unconscious or what.

Mr. Mei sat in a wheelchair with the window open. His body was wet and he looked visibly haggard, with his eye sockets sunken.

Zhuang Wan was shocked when she saw it.

Liu Panpan felt that she had not taken good care of Elder Mei, and said with self-blame and embarrassment:

"Wu Zhen took advantage of going to the bathroom and attempted to drown himself in the bathtub. When I found him, he was almost dead. I was almost scared to death. Thanks to several neighbors who helped give him first aid, he is fine now, but he is unconscious. I was afraid he would wake up and try to commit suicide again, so I tied him up."

Su Tao said to Lin Fangzhi, "Go inside and get me a basin of water."

Lin Fangzhi happily fetched a large basin of water.

Su Tao said coldly: "Splash it on him to wake him up."

Seeing this, Mr. Mei wanted to stop him: "Hey, Tao girl, he just choked on the water--"

Su Tao said: "You feel sorry for him, but he doesn't care about his life. Why do you have to do that? Fang Zhi, just pour it on me until he wakes up."

Lin Fangzhi was not polite either. He poured a large basin of water on Wu Zhen's head. Wu Zhen started coughing violently and actually woke up. He opened his eyes in a daze and was obviously stunned when he saw Su Tao.

Su Tao: "Why, don't you recognize me?"

"Su, ahem, Miss."

Su Tao: "Wow, you still recognize me, do you still want to die?"

Wu Zhen lowered his head, his face full of despair, as if he had lost his soul.

Su Tao suddenly became very angry and kicked him in the knee joint. Wu Zhen frowned in pain, but did not react much.

Su Tao grabbed his collar, looked straight at him, and asked coldly:

"Why do you want to die? Do you own your life? Don't forget what you promised me in Shouan."

Miss Su, if I can make it to Taoyang alive this time, I will devote my entire life to Taoyang.

Wu Zhen was slightly moved and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Su."

"Is saying sorry any use? I put so much effort into getting you out, and Mr. Mei couldn't sleep all night because of you. He was always worried and looked after you like his own son. Have you ever considered that he's old and can't stand all this stimulation and shock? I think your concern is in vain!"

"Sister Pan, untie him. He wants to die, so just let him do it."

Liu Panpan looked at Su Tao, then at Mr. Mei who was shaking his head in pain, and finally gritted her teeth and listened to Boss Su!

She quickly untied Wu Zhen and took out the tools he had used in his previous suicide attempts, including a fruit knife and mirror fragments. She also thoughtfully opened the bathroom door, and the bathtub was still filled with the water Wu Zhen had just used to commit suicide.

Everything is ready.

Wu Zhen didn't move.

Su Tao: "Go ahead, I'll just treat it as a waste of time. I, Taoyang, can't afford someone like you who is always looking for death. In your eyes, no kindness or dreams can compare to your pain."
