Huang Ling nodded and said, "Alright! You two take good care of him. If Tu Nan isn't feeling well anywhere, just turn him over, but don't touch his feet. I'll go back and discuss the solution with your dad—whether it's a one-time payment or a monthly salary. I'll talk to your brother about it tomorrow!"
"Okay, Mom! Drive carefully!"
"Okay, I understand!"
Meanwhile, Xiang Pengfei ran all the way back to his transportation company. Zhou Yuxiang, who was arranging the night shift vehicles, immediately saw him and rushed to his side, asking, "Pengfei, what's wrong? Why are you all sweaty? Is something urgent?"
Xiang Pengfei looked at Zhou Yuxiang and said, "Don't worry about it. Where's your brother?"
"It looks like he's talking to Engineer Li!"
"Engineer Li? Li Jia?"
"Um!"
Where?
"Regent Hotel!"
"The Regent Hotel? What happened to those two at a place like that?"
"I don't know either!"
Xiang Pengfei ignored Zhou Yuxiang and walked to a car, got in, and started driving away.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuxiang stretched out her arms, blocking Xiang Pengfei's path.
Xiang Pengfei stuck his head out of the car window and said, "What are you doing? Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're ignoring work at the company and just driving off!"
I need to speak with your brother urgently!
"Okay, you can go find him. By the way, what should we do with the goods that Cousin Dongzhe brought you?"
"What else can we do? Let your brother handle it on the construction site. It's full of men, easy to sell!"
"Okay! Be careful on your way home, don't stay out too late!"
"I know! Stop nagging!"
As soon as Xiang Pengfei and Zhou Yuxiang took a step, he stepped on the gas and arrived at the Regent Hotel.
Just as Xiang Pengfei parked his car and was about to get out, he saw a man and a woman hugging and cuddling intimately at the hotel entrance.
When Xiang Pengfei saw this scene, he blushed. After all, in those days, such public intimacy was rare.
But when Xiang Pengfei saw the couple's faces, his expression instantly turned to anger. He opened the car door and rushed towards them. Without saying a word, he punched Zhou Chengzhi in the face.
Covering his stinging face, Zhou Chengzhi recognized Xiang Pengfei and angrily demanded, "Xiang Pengfei, what do you want?"
Xiang Pengfei pointed at Li Jia and said, "Do you know who he is?"
"Of course I know, Engineer Li!"
"No, she has another identity: my sister-in-law!"
"Xiang Pengfei, stop trying to claim kinship with me. Are they married? Have they registered their marriage?"
They're engaged!
"What's the point of an engagement? If you're not married, you're not husband and wife. She has the right to find other men!"
"you,,!"
Xiang Pengfei pointed at Zhou Chengzhi and said, "You! You're shameless! Believe me or not, I can cripple you right now!"
"Fine! If you dare to lay a hand on me, I'll call the police. Then you, me, and her will all be in jail. Don't forget about that wall, and those counterfeit and pirated videotapes you smuggled in!"
Xiang Pengfei pointed at Zhou Chengzhi, wanting to say something, but the words wouldn't come out. Finally, he pointed at Zhou Chengzhi again and said, "Fine, you just wait! I'll get you sooner or later!"
Zhou Chengzhi smiled and said, "Alright! We're all in the same boat, who's afraid of who! At worst, we'll both go to jail."
When Huang Ling returned home, the lights were still on, indicating that Zhuang Chaoying was also home.
As soon as she pushed open the door and entered the room, she saw Zhuang Chaoying sitting in a corner, sighing and looking worried.
Huang Ling didn't give Zhuang Chaoying a friendly look, coldly saying, "So? Have you thought it through? Do you want 100,000 yuan upfront, or do you want Tu Nan to receive a monthly salary?"
Zhuang Chaoying thought for a moment, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "I think my dad is right. A lump sum of 100,000 yuan can get a lot done. If we only get 500 yuan a month, we can save a lot on food, drinks, and other expenses!"
"Alright! Let's choose the first one. But I'm reminding you, Zhuang Chaoying, you're not allowed to help your brother after you take the money. If the two old people come to borrow money, you're not allowed to lend it to them!"
"Okay, I'll try not to lend it out!"
Huang Ling suddenly became angry and said, "Zhuang Chaoying, what do you mean? That's the money for Tu Nanzhi's treatment of his legs. You dare to touch that money?"
"No, Huang Ling, don't panic! If we get our hands on this money, it will definitely attract a lot of people's attention. You know, it's not the thief you should be afraid of, it's the thief who's eyeing it! That's a lot of money!"
"Here's what we'll do: deposit the money into my savings account. I'll keep it for Tu Nan in case your parents pressure you for it and you lose control of yourself again."
"Okay, whatever makes you happy, I'll do whatever you say, alright?"
"That's more like it. Life is going to be tough for us from now on. Tu Nan won't be able to find a job without his legs!"
"It's alright, he's highly educated, he'll always find a job that suits him!"
Let's hope so!
"Alright! Get some rest! We have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning to cover for Xiaoting and the other person!"
Time flies when you're resting. Before you knew it, dawn was breaking. Huang Ling got up and said to Zhuang Chaoying, "I'm going to the hospital! You can visit your relatives or pay a New Year's visit to your boss!"
"Can't I go to the hospital to see Tu Nan?"
"It's not that I can't, but I'm worried about your parents having to go to the hospital again, which would be too much of a hassle!"
"Just don't mention money to them! If they want to go, you can't stop them! After all, Tu Nan is their eldest grandson!"
"That's what I'm saying, but you know what? Tu Nan's bedmate is a policeman, and they might be investigating the wall issue on that floor!"
"What does the police have to do with us? We, the people of Tunan, are the victims!"
"Yes, do you know who injured Tu Nan?"
"Who? From their design firm?"
"It's Xiang Pengfei!"
"What? Are you kidding me? How could it be Pengfei?"
"Pengfei was trying to help Li Jia. There was a problem with the blueprints that Li Jia designed. Later, it was Zhou Chengzhi who asked Pengfei to chase after Tu Nan. Tu Nan thought Pengfei was a thief, so he chased after him and ended up falling into a trap!"
"Tu Nan fell into the pit, and the culprit is Xiang Pengfei! He's the child I raised with my own hands! How could he do such a thing?"
"Alright, stop worrying about it. Tu Nan said Peng Fei was only trying to help Li Jia, and helping Li Jia is helping Tu Nan, isn't it? Don't blame Peng Fei too much when you see him!"
"No, I have to ask Pengfei about this. He's the one who caused Tu Nan's two legs to be injured!"
"Do as you please! I'm leaving now! I still need to buy breakfast for Tu Nan and the others!"
"Okay, be careful on the road!"
"knew!"
Huang Ling came to the ward again and saw Lin Dongzhe sleeping on another bed, while Zhuang Xiaoting was sleeping next to Tu Nan's bed.
Huang Ling, holding the breakfast she had bought outside, said, "Xiaoting, Dongzhe, why don't you two eat breakfast here before you leave?"
Zhuang Xiaoting straightened up, stretched, and said, "No need, Mom, Dongzhe and I will go out to eat!"
"Sure, whatever makes you happy!"
As she spoke, Huang Ling glanced at Li Yong in the next bed and saw that he was still fast asleep, but the policeman was nowhere to be seen!
Huang Ling didn't want to bother Li Yong, so she helped Tu Nan prepare the meal and let him eat by himself.
Zhuang Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe tidied themselves up a bit and then left the ward.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the ward, the policeman in uniform walked in and approached Li Yong, saying, "Captain, Captain!"
