Aunt Zhou was on the verge of a breakdown!
With one thing after another piling up, she truly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, which was pressing down on her from all directions, making her feel suffocated and unable to breathe.
Grandma Zhou's body had been numb for too long and she couldn't withstand any pressure, so she couldn't put Grandma Zhou into the car.
No matter how much she begged the hospital or how much they asked for, everyone at the hospital was on edge and no one was willing to use their ambulance to transport Mrs. Zhou.
When Grandma Zhou was thrown into a vegetative state, Aunt Zhou didn't cry.
Because at that time, if she just gritted her teeth, she could change Zhou Yi's and her fate. There was hope and something to look forward to, so Aunt Zhou gritted her teeth and got through it.
But now it's not a situation where you can just grit your teeth and refuse to admit defeat.
Aunt Zhou felt like a fish stranded off the shore, with the ocean a hundred meters away. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't change her inevitable fate of dying of thirst.
When the man heard Aunt Zhou's tearful voice pleading for help, his heart tightened: "Don't cry, give me the location, I'll drive over and pick you up right away."
The hospital is now under siege by netizens, making it impossible to use the normal access routes.
The man quickly drove to the scene.
Fortunately, with the cooperation of the hospital, Aunt Zhou, along with her driver, secretary, and a man, secretly transferred Mrs. Zhou to the ambulance.
The man sat in the front and drove, while Aunt Zhou and her secretary looked after Grandma in the back.
Immediately after Mrs. Zhou left the hospital, the hospital issued a notice stating that, based on public feedback and reports, Mrs. Zhou had been transferred to another hospital.
The crowd that had been waiting outside the hospital dispersed in an instant.
Everyone at the hospital breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, she's gone. This whole thing...sigh..."
"I wonder who the Zhou Group has offended, that they keep making headlines."
"It seems there's no way to salvage the situation now..."
This way.
After the man drove the ambulance to the private hospital, he personally arranged for Mrs. Zhou to be placed in an intensive care unit, where he and another doctor took turns caring for her.
Aunt Zhou glanced at the doctor with unease.
It wasn't that she was being paranoid, but given the current climate of fear and uncertainty, and the fact that Old Mrs. Zhou had been secretly moved here, could this doctor really be trusted?
The man intended to reach out and pat Aunt Zhou's shoulder to comfort her, but his hand stopped mid-air.
A hint of disappointment and annoyance flashed in the man's eyes, and he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
"Trust him."
"He used to be a chief physician at a major hospital. He encountered a rogue patient's family member who spread rumors online that he killed the patient on the operating table."
"He has also experienced cyberbullying, so he should be able to understand how you feel right now."
“The internet is a double-edged sword; it can help me or it can harm others. He now hates those netizens who follow the trend and will not tell anyone about Grandma Zhou’s situation.”
Aunt Zhou's doubts vanished instantly, and she nodded to the doctor with a sense of shared suffering.
"This is troublesome."
The doctor responded coldly, "I don't want to help you either; I'm just repaying a favor."
As the doctor spoke, he glanced at the man.
The meaning is clear: he was simply repaying a favor to a man.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken on such a troublesome task.
A series of examinations were conducted on Mrs. Zhou. Fortunately, they were well prepared, so the transfer to another hospital did not have a significant impact on her.
Aunt Zhou had just breathed a sigh of relief when a series of phone calls came in: "What? The banks that cooperate with the company have all issued payment reminders?"
"Okay, I'll go back right away. We'll have a meeting in the conference room in an hour."
Put down your phone.
Aunt Zhou looked much more tired.
The man pursed his lips and moved them, but ultimately said nothing. He saw Aunt Zhou out of the hospital, and the two walked down the cold hospital corridor, surrounded by icy silver light.
"It's already noon, remember to eat."
Aunt Zhou nodded: "Mm."
Seeing Aunt Zhou's perfunctory appearance, the man knew that Aunt Zhou was anxious and upset and would definitely not eat lunch. But how could she, alone, bear the crisis of the Zhou Group?
Just as the man opened his mouth to speak, Aunt Zhou's phone rang again.
Aunt Zhou glanced at her phone screen, ignoring the shrill ringtone, and said to the man first, "No need to see me off, thank you for today."
"I will find a hospital to admit the old lady as soon as possible."
After saying that, Aunt Zhou quickly walked out of the hospital in her high heels.
The man watched Aunt Zhou's hurried departure, stood there, his fingers slightly clenched, his eyes full of longing and reluctance: "Take care."
"Actually... I never need you to thank me."
The man muttered to himself as he watched Aunt Zhou get into the car, which started and drove away.
Aunt Zhou closed her eyes, rubbed her temples, and took a deep breath.
The phone call, which had been unanswered, automatically ended when no one picked up, but less than ten seconds later, the phone rang again.
Looking at the note on the screen, Aunt Zhou hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
"Xiao Zhou, you seem very anxious, aren't you? Why didn't you answer my call earlier? I've already heard about what's going on with the Zhou family."
"You're so stubborn. If you had agreed to be with me back then, none of this would have happened."
"I heard that even President Zhou was kicked out of the hospital. Sigh, how could you, a woman, handle such a big thing? Why didn't you tell me?"
Just hearing that sound made Aunt Zhou feel nauseous.
This man is a high-ranking official in Luzhou. The two met at a bidding conference, after which he pursued and flattered her by sending her all sorts of gifts.
Putting aside the fact that the man was overweight and looked like he had been drained by wine, women, and money, which made Aunt Zhou uncomfortable, it was his greasy attitude that made Aunt Zhou absolutely refuse to become his mistress.
Yes, a lover!
Because this man has a wife.
The greasy man had tried to coerce her in various ways, even using the Zhou Group to threaten her into submission, but Aunt Zhou firmly refused.
Later, the greasy man also thought about taking over the Zhou Group and making Aunt Zhou obediently his mistress. Unfortunately, the Zhou Group had a clean background and had not committed any illegal or tax evasion acts.
Therefore, the greasy man could only suppress this thought and watch helplessly as the duck that was about to be eaten flew away.
At this time, when public opinion was at its most intense, the greasy man took the initiative to approach Aunt Zhou, implying that if Aunt Zhou became his secret lover, he could help Aunt Zhou solve the company's problems.
The greasy man coaxed, "Xiao Zhou, although I have a wife and children, you know that I've been deeply in love with you ever since we met."
"Over the years, you know my feelings for you have never changed."
“This incident has had a huge impact. The Zhou Group is now facing the crisis of impending bankruptcy and liquidation. At this critical juncture, no one can help you except me.”
