After taking the medicine, Chen Dong's head stopped hurting, but his mind was in a mess, as if it were stuffed with a lump of paste.
He felt his heart pounding wildly, and his head felt like a balloon being inflated and then deflated, pulling back and forth uncomfortably.
Finally, the medicine took effect, and Chen Dong fell into a deep sleep.
In his dream, Chen Dong heard someone calling his name.
"Black Monday, 1987," Chen Dong shouted in a daze.
Zhou Huimin and Lin Zhiyuan were terrified when they saw Chen Dong's appearance. "What is he saying? What Black Monday?"
Lin Zhiyuan was also puzzled and guessed, "Is he confused?"
He didn't know how much time had passed when he heard someone call his name, and he woke up from his nightmare in a daze.
Then Chen Dong saw his parents' faces.
"Mom and Dad? Eldest sister?"
After looking around, Chen Dong realized that his whole family had come to see him.
Chen Dong's mind was in a daze, and he subconsciously asked, "How did you get here? Where am I?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong's father was overjoyed and said, "Didn't Zhou Huimin say you had amnesia? Can you still recognize me?"
Chen Dong clutched his head, feeling as if a heavy weight was being dragged inside.
The assassination attempt, chatting and laughing with Afang at the braised food shop, teaching Afang's father how to read the stock market index... one scene after another flashed through Chen Dong's mind.
"I have amnesia?"
His head was throbbing so badly that Chen Dong instinctively lowered his head.
"Brother, do you still remember me?" Chen Bei asked.
"You're my sister, how come I don't remember you?" Chen Dong sighed.
When they saw that he had unexpectedly regained his memory, the whole family was overjoyed, while Annie cautiously went to consult a neurosurgeon.
Several minutes later, Chen Dong gradually regained his senses. He looked around and found himself lying on a hospital bed.
How did I get here?
Zhou Huimin took her hand and explained, "And you know what? In the trading hall, you kept saying you were fine, but the next second you fell into a deep sleep."
"Lin Zhiyuan and I were worried that something might have happened to you, so we brought you to the hospital."
By the way, Vivian Chow looked around at his family and then explained, "A few days ago you told me not to tell your family about your current situation."
"However, after you were admitted to the hospital, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but tell your parents. When your parents found out you were back, they took a plane overnight to come over."
"I..." Chen Dong checked his memories before saying, "I remember everything from before."
“Zhou Huimin, I remember my parents, my older sister, my brother-in-law, and my younger sister.”
Chen Dong's father, Chen Xuelin, said with a smile, "It's good that you remember! During the time you were missing, we were so worried about you. We even thought... you would never come back."
As he spoke, Chen Xuelin's eyes welled up with tears.
Lin Zhiyuan looked at him and snorted coldly, saying, "When he first came back a few days ago, he looked at us like we were strangers. I even thought that Wolong was afraid of being punished, so he found us a fake Chen Dong."
His words made everyone laugh.
"By the way, what's the date now?" Chen Dong asked.
Zhou Huimin held his hand and said, "You've been unconscious for a day, and it's the 16th now."
Chen Dong glanced at the clock in the ward, "It's already 12:30 noon."
He suddenly remembered that before he collapsed in the trading hall, he was thinking about October 19, 1987, Black Monday.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of Black Monday.
"What time is next Monday? What's the date?" Chen Dong asked Zhou Huimin.
"What's wrong with next Monday, October 20th?"
Chen Dong sighed, "This is bad, the stock market is going to have a big problem!"
"This week we must be on high alert and guard against the Soros Group's attack on the Hong Kong dollar."
Seeing that his son was worrying about the stock market as soon as he woke up, Chen Dong's father was not very happy.
“You were assassinated before, barely survived, and were missing for more than half a year. Your mother and I were worried to death.”
"Now that you're finally back, you still have to worry about these things," Chen Xuelin said angrily. "Business! Business, what could be more important than life?"
Everyone tried to comfort Chen Xuelin when they saw he was angry, telling him to take care of himself and to talk to Chen Dong properly.
Chen Xuelin disagreed, saying, "The neurosurgeon just told me that there is still blood stasis in your brain, and only surgery can remove it."
Surgery requires incisions and can take 100 days to heal. Chen Dong will need to rest in bed for at least two months.
In just two months, the stock market has already witnessed several dramatic events.
Chen Dong directly rejected his father's suggestion, saying, "I definitely can't have the surgery at this time."
He turned to Anne and instructed her, "Tell the doctor we're going to opt for conservative treatment."
"By the way, I'm fine now, please let me be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible."
"Discharged? You're still so weak, how can you be discharged?" His father stopped him.
“Dad, I’m all better now. I’m in great spirits. Hong Kong needs me, and I absolutely can’t abandon Hong Kong now.”
His brother-in-law, Lin Zhiyuan, along with his older sister, younger sister, and the rest of the family, began to persuade him:
"The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has people watching over things in Hong Kong, and their market stabilization funds have already arrived. What do you have to worry about?"
