The former richest man opened the bottle of red wine.
The air was immediately filled with the rich aroma of wine.
"Brother Chen."
The former richest man handed over a glass of red wine: "Putting aside the fact that your brother came to kill me with a knife, I have never treated him badly."
“Look, I repaid evil with kindness. Not only did I treat him to good food and drink, but considering the hospital’s poor conditions, I also specially decorated my villa as a ward and invited the best experts in the country to treat his mother.”
"I've put so much effort into this, Brother Chen, shouldn't you show some sincerity in return?"
He took a small sip of red wine, his gaze fixed on me through the rim of the glass.
I met his gaze and spread my hands nonchalantly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zeng, I didn't bring what you asked for."
The richest man's smile froze on his face for a moment, but only for a second before he regained his gentle demeanor.
But a barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, that's not very fair of you."
The former richest man put down his wine glass, crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his head slightly, and looked me over.
"I've done so much for your brother, and you're just going to reject me like this?"
I shrugged: "Mr. Zeng, let's be frank. I didn't bring you what you wanted because I don't trust you. I was afraid that if I gave it to you, I'd lose my head the next second."
As I spoke, I observed his reaction.
The former richest man's expression was calm. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound, as if he was weighing something.
"Brother Chen, you should know that in this world, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."
The former richest man picked up his wine glass again and slowly walked over to me: "As long as you return what I asked for, I will forgive and forget what happened before. It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy, don't you think?"
His voice remained gentle, but the threat in his words was unmistakable.
"What the hell are you pretending for?"
Luo Tianhe had long been impatient with what he was hearing, so he picked up the wine bottle and gulped it down in one go.
He wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth: "Alright, we've given you the sincerity you wanted. Release them."
The former richest man squinted and said with a forced smile, "Mr. Luo, aren't you going a bit too far?"
"Not happy? Hit me then."
The former richest man chuckled and said, "Mr. Luo, you're joking. We are civilized people, and besides, we live in a society governed by law. How can we engage in fighting and killing?"
Luo Tianhe picked up a wine bottle and slammed it on the table. Holding the half-sharp bottle, he shook it back and forth and sneered, "President Zeng is a civilized person, but I am not."
Even someone as shrewd and cultured as the former richest man couldn't help himself.
His face instantly darkened.
"Luo Tianhe, is this how your older brother taught you?"
No, not at all.
Luo Tianhe shrugged: "My older brother often teaches me to curb my violent temper and to value people. But are you even human?"
This is blatant mockery.
All that's missing is a big slap across Zeng, the richest man's face.
Before the former richest man could speak, Luo Tianhe reached out and pulled Su Mingyang up from his chair.
“I’m taking him away today. This is a notification, not a request for your opinion.”
After saying that, he tossed his head at us and said, "Let's go."
But the two bodyguards at the door were still standing outside, blocking the way.
"Get out of the way."
Luo Tianhe's face darkened.
“Luo…”
"Smack."
Luo Tianhe slapped him across the face: "I don't like to say it twice. If you don't move aside, you'll have to bear the consequences."
The two bodyguards visibly trembled and looked at Zeng, the richest man, with difficulty.
"Let them go."
The former richest man waved his hand.
Have they really compromised?
I looked at Luo Tianhe in surprise.
Who exactly is his older brother?
It was clearly a doomed situation, but he managed to pull it off and we just walked out unscathed.
But the next second, Su Mingyang let go of Luo Tianhe's hand, looking dejected.
"Brother Luo, you guys should go."
"you……"
Luo Tianhe was about to explode, but when he saw Su Mingyang's mother lying on the bed with tubes inserted all over her body, he immediately understood.
"Mr. Zeng, you're going to do a good deed to the end, you can't just let that mother and child be separated, can you?"
The former richest man regained his faint smile: "How could that be? I just wanted to help Brother Su share some of the burden. You can leave anytime you want!"
Luo Tianhe nodded and pointed at the two nurses: "You two, lift my brother's mother into the car."
At this moment, the male doctor who hadn't spoken until now walked over.
He was clearly uneasy when facing Luo Tianhe, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.
"Hello, sir."
The doctor's voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of nervousness.
"This woman's condition is very critical. Although her vital signs are temporarily stable, she is extremely fragile."
"Moreover, her intracranial pressure is at a critical level; the slightest mishap could cause it to rise sharply and lead to brain herniation..."
I frowned and asked, "Does that mean we can't leave?"
The doctor nodded: "Even the slightest bump could very likely cause cardiac arrest or respiratory failure."
"Therefore, it is really not suitable to move her at the moment; the risk is just too great."
As he spoke, he handed over several reports.
Just to be on the safe side, I took a picture and asked Su Mingyang to send it to his mother's former attending physician to see if it was real.
A few minutes later, Su Mingyang's expectant gaze dimmed.
“What he said is true. My mother’s attending physician said that this doctor is very capable and internationally famous. His diagnosis cannot be wrong.”
