“Found it!”
In the middle of the night, Mr. Gu came to see Mr. Li in a hurry. He held a document and said, "It's terrible. That old guy has been admitted to the hospital and is now in the emergency department."
Mr. Li was originally confused.
When he heard that Zhang Shengmin was in trouble, he woke up immediately.
Mr. Li crawled out in a daze, and put on his clothes anxiously, "Where is the person? Let's go there quickly."
After about an hour's journey, the two finally arrived at the hospital at five in the morning.
At this time, there were few people in the hospital, and the people coming and going were nurses who had just finished their night shift.
Mr. Gu gave a heads-up in advance, as he knew which ward Zhang Shengmin was in.
"Old Zhang?"
The two shouted at the door, but no one responded.
Mr. Li hissed, "He's probably sleeping. Let's go in quickly!"
The two of them tiptoed into the ward quietly.
Fortunately, Xu Leyan had just left to pick up her child from school.
This is an excellent opportunity for Mr. Gu and Mr. Li.
"Fall, osteoporosis?" Old Master Gu stared at the medical record, a little dazed.
Who would dare to touch Zhang Shengmin, a man of his age?
Mr. Li couldn't wait any longer and slowly pushed the man awake, "Old Zhang, it's me, Xiao Li? Can you hear me?"
After some pushing and shoving, Zhang Shengmin finally woke up.
When he saw the person coming, he thought he was dreaming and cried out in surprise. After his body stabilized, he slowly got up.
Mr. Gu gave him a cup of hot tea and asked, "What happened to you? You fell for no reason. Was someone pushing you?"
Zhang Shengmin rubbed his eyes, panting, and before he could answer, he just asked, "Why are you here?"
The three of them are old friends, so even though they haven't seen each other for many years, they get along well with each other.
Mr. Li sat down aside and said, "I went to your old house a few days ago to look for you, but I couldn't find you."
"I just heard that you sold the house."
Just talking about this, Zhang Shengmin's breathing suddenly became rapid.
He was shocked. "House, why is the house sold?"
Mr. Gu and Mr. Li looked at each other and thought, this is bad, it turns out this old man has no idea at all.
Mr. Gu paused and said, "Didn't anyone tell you about this old house?"
Zhang Shengmin slapped the bed, his face filled with anger. "Now I'm not in charge of the entire Zhang family. What else can I do?"
"Calm down, calm down." Mr. Li saw that the man was older and hurried to comfort him.
At least it calmed down.
Only then did Zhang Shengmin talk to the two of them about what had happened over the years.
He had only one daughter, and Zhang Shengmin wanted to keep her by his side, so he simply started to think of recruiting a son-in-law.
It's a pity that their family has no good luck. Not only did they not recruit a good son-in-law like other families, but they also recruited a madman who is addicted to gambling and acts recklessly.
In the first year, his son-in-law pretended to be very good, but when Xu Leyan gave birth to a child in the second year, this man thought he had tied her down, so he became rude in his actions.
Year after year.
The son-in-law spends money like water, and asks for money like a bottomless pit without any stop.
Xu Leyan was coaxed at the beginning and didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, so she had many arguments with Zhang Shengmin over the years.
Just last year.
The son-in-law lost a lot of money in the casino and wanted to come back to ask for the money. Zhang Shengmin couldn't stand it and moved away directly.
He thought that this would be the end of it, but he didn't know that this was just the beginning.
What he didn't expect was that his house had already been sold!
"You have to help me." He finally finished his story and pulled Old Man Gu towards him, begging him. "Old Gu, that house is not ordinary. There is something buried inside. It is our Zhang family's heirloom!"
"You said this."
His voice gradually trembled, and his voice became unclear, but it was filled with sadness.
Mr. Li felt sorry and stood silently in front of the bed.
He originally thought that with Zhang Shengmin's current identity and status, he should be living a good life.
"How did you sell this house? There's also the matter of transferring ownership, which must have gone through you! How could you sell it without saying anything?" Mr. Gu was really puzzled.
Zhang Shengmin certainly didn't know. If he had known, he wouldn't have become so embarrassed.
"No, I can't stay in this hospital anymore!" He might as well die if he had to see that evil beast of his own again.
Mr. Li quickly grabbed the man and said, "Old Zhang, we haven't figured out the whole story yet. Your health is more important."
Old Master Gu also said quickly, "I have a wide network of contacts, I can ask someone to go and ask first. You have just been injured, it is better for you to stay in the hospital."
Zhang Shengmin shook his head sadly, his panic evident. "My daughter is coming soon. She's getting a divorce from her son-in-law, and he's asking for a large sum of money. My daughter is a fool, so she really wants to pay."
"If I don't leave now, I won't have another chance..."
Mr. Li glanced at Mr. Gu.
I'm afraid he is the only one who can help Zhang Shengmin now.
"Old Gu, please help me!" Zhang Shengmin begged anxiously.
Mr. Gu thought deeply and finally decided to help. "I'll take you away now. Leave the matter of the house to me."
Kyoto University, Director's Office.
Zhang Yun was arguing with her father. "Li Xiujun and the others have been bullying me. You are my father, so you should stand on my side."
"Director Zhang, you can't play favorites."
Director Zhang slammed the pen on the table. If he really wasn't partial, he would have just thrown his useless daughter away!
Director Zhang warned Zhang Yun, "That child is both academically and morally excellent, and is at the top of the class. And now you insist on making such a scene, accusing him of cheating and plagiarizing? What? Do I need to tell you all about that competition again?"
Zhang Yun's face turned red with anger. She said angrily, "But I've been wronged. If you don't help me, I'll go back and tell my mother."
"You can go or not." Director Zhang said coldly.
She would go back and tell her mother about everything. It was a pity that a twenty-year-old female student could only use the methods of a seven or eight-year-old child.
"Just wait for me." Zhang Yun also acted arrogantly in front of her father.
A hotel on the west side.
Xu Liuwen hung up the last call and said, "Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off their phone. Please try again later."
"sorry......."
With a click, Xu Liuwen put the phone down.
He scowled. "Well, there's no news at all. This is the first time in a year that I've been turned away!"
Gu Qingming twirled his pen leisurely, "No rush."
Xu Liuwen's face fell. He counted carefully to Gu Qingming, "Twenty-three mines, twenty-two rejected us!"
"There's another household here, the one we just met, who didn't answer the phone. Mr. Gu, is it necessary for us to keep insisting on doing this?"
Gu Qingming raised his eyes and looked at the mine outside, and said firmly, "Yes."
