"What do you mean, Mr. Shen?" Qin Dashan wiped away his tears and asked, his voice choked with emotion.
"My first option is to give you one million to help you out of your current predicament and save your son."
"But you need to think carefully about whether your son will continue to make mistakes and leave you to clean up his messes. You might even have to clean up his messes until you die."
"Moreover, this million is not something I'm giving you for free; it requires something from you in exchange."
"My second option is to hire a world-renowned doctor to save Qin Shiya's life, but the cost will be very high, and you will need to give me an IOU. Once Qin Shiya recovers, she can provide for you two in your old age."
"But in that case, your son Qin Ming might be sued by the other family and face imprisonment."
"Think about it. Do you want to save your son Qin Ming, or your daughter Qin Shiya?"
After saying that, Shen Lang fell silent, leaving the rest of the time for Qin Dashan to think.
"You mean there's still hope for my youngest daughter to be cured?" Qin Dashan perked up immediately upon hearing this.
When she saw her 'daughter' lying on the bed, she felt terrible. After all, it was her own daughter, whom her wife had carried for ten months and given birth to.
Human hearts don't grow from stone; for Qin Dashan, his heart still had some warmth.
I was forced into this situation entirely by my son, Qin Ming.
Shen Lang nodded: "There's a very good hospital abroad, I've already consulted them. But the required treatment costs tens of millions, which I can't possibly cover for free. So you'll need to give me an IOU, and the amount on that IOU could be as high as tens of millions."
Qin Dashan hesitated for a moment: "Can I discuss this with my wife?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you half an hour."
After saying that, he told the security guard standing at the door to take Qin Dashan to find Liu Hongyan.
Half an hour later, Qin Dashan and his wife stood in front of Shen Lang, both with red, swollen eyes from crying.
"Mr. Shen, we've made up our minds," Qin Dashan said.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Tell me your choices."
The couple exchanged a glance, and Qin Dashan mustered his courage and said, "We want to save our youngest daughter. We beg Boss Shen to save her life. I'm willing to write you an IOU."
Shen Lang looked at Liu Hongyan and asked, "Aunt Liu, have you thought it through?"
Liu Hongyan nodded and said, "Xiaoming has made a lot of mistakes over the years, and we know we can't keep indulging him. Let him face the punishment of the law and reform himself in prison."
"Please, Mr. Shen, save my poor little daughter."
As she spoke, Liu Hongyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she knelt down on the ground before Shen Lang: "I'm sorry to my little daughter, it's our fault, please."
Over the past month, the couple has researched numerous legal documents and consulted lawyers regarding Qin Ming's case. In Qin Ming's situation, since the other party acted voluntarily, as long as he shows remorse and a good attitude in court, he is unlikely to be sentenced to death.
Shen Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Dashan and Liu Hongyan did not disappoint him. He originally regarded Qin Dashan as a high-quality trading partner, but after all, the other party was Qin Shiya's biological father.
After helping Liu Hongyan up, Shen Lang walked to his desk, took out an A4 sheet of paper, wrote an IOU for a staggering 20 million yuan, placed it on the desk, and said to Qin Dashan, "Uncle Qin, if you think it's okay, then sign it."
This is Shen Lang's final test for Qin Dashan.
If Qin Dashan can really sign this huge IOU, then he will not stop their parents from recognizing each other.
At the office door, the maid who had been dressed as a maid earlier stared intently at Qin Dashan's hands holding the pen, her heart pounding with nervousness.
"Boss Shen," Qin Dashan said, turning around instead of signing, "then you have to guarantee me that my youngest daughter will come back to life."
"That's for sure, you can rest assured," Shen Lang said.
Do you think I, a fruit stand owner, would sell you raw melons?
After exchanging a glance, Qin Dashan and his wife made up their minds.
Without further hesitation, Qin Dashan signed his name on the IOU.
“I don’t expect my youngest daughter to recognize me after she wakes up, or to take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die. I just want to consider it an act of atonement, so that my husband and I can die in peace after we pass away.”
After signing his name, Qin Dashan's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Over the past two decades, the heavy burden on my back has lightened considerably.
The moment Qin Dashan stood up, a maid dressed in a maid's outfit pushed open the door and ran to Qin Dashan and Liu Hongyan, tears streaming down her face.
"Dad, Mom."
Qin Dashan and Liu Hongyan stared in disbelief at the girl in front of them who looked like a celebrity.
"What? What's going on?" Qin Dashan stammered.
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Uncle Qin, this is your daughter, Qin Shiya."
"What?" Liu Hongyan asked in surprise, "Boss Shen, you mean our daughter is alright?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "That's right. If you don't believe me, you can get a paternity test."
"However, I will not reimburse the expenses."
After saying that, Shen Lang turned and left the office, leaving the time and space to the family of three who had just reunited.
"Are you really my daughter?" Qin Dashan asked incredulously, looking at the woman in front of him.
Qin Shiya nodded vigorously and said, "Dad, it's me, Shiya. What happened just now was just a performance by the boss."
Qin Shiya watched everything that happened after Qin Dashan and his wife entered the store. She was the one who was pretending to be a nurse in the ward.
When she saw her parents avoid her seriously ill self, she felt utterly hopeless.
But when she saw Qin Dashan standing next to Shen Lang, covering his face and weeping, a glimmer of light appeared in her heart.
When Qin Dashan abandoned Qin Ming for his own sake and personally wrote a huge IOU for 20 million yuan, all the past resentment vanished.
Looking at Qin Shiya, whose facial features bore a resemblance to Liu Hongyan, Qin Dashan confirmed after several attempts that the girl in front of him was indeed the daughter he had abandoned years ago.
Instantly, Qin Dashan burst into tears, pulling Qin Shiya into a tight embrace and sobbing, "Daughter, I'm sorry, it's your father and I who are sorry..."
Liu Hongyan also hugged Qin Shiya and cried, "Daughter, your father and mother are guilty."

After leaving the office, He Yongze took off his white coat, walked up to Shen Lang, and smiled, "Brother, how's my acting? Do I have the talent to be an actor?"
Shen Lang laughed and said, "You're quite something, kid. Bingyan has been setting up a film and television company these past few days. You can go audition."
"Haha." He Yongze threw his head back and laughed.
It was just a joke between the two of them.
For them, celebrities are nothing more than...
"Brother, should we invite Brother Yang over for a drink?" He Yongze asked.
Shen Lang declined, saying, "No need for now. Cheng Yang is quite busy these days, dealing with company matters and the establishment of Qingyun Manor. Let's talk about it later."
Then Shen Lang took out his phone and dialed the number of policewoman Lin Dantong.
"Shen Lang?" The young policewoman, who was working overtime at the police station, did not expect Shen Lang to call her suddenly.
"Officer Lin, did I disturb you?" Shen Lang asked with a smile.
Lin Dantong said, "No, no, what's wrong with you calling me so late?"
"I still owe Officer Lin a meal, don't I? Are you busy right now? Let me treat you to a meal," Shen Lang said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Dantong put down her work and asked, "Where are you? Should I come find you or will you come pick me up?"
Shen Lang said, "Come to the mAx bar, and I'll have someone meet you at the entrance."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
