Zhao Hai was clearly a little unsure of himself. His face was red, and he lowered his head as he said, "I need to go deliver goods to the store!"
Zhao Hujiang angrily retorted, "Can't you tell what's important? Your sister is lying in the emergency room, waiting to be saved, and you still want to go deliver goods? Is making money more important than your sister?"
"Yes, I admit my sister is important, but does that mean we can't live? We still need to eat, and eating costs money, and spending money means we need to earn money. How can we earn money if we don't deliver goods?"
When Zhao Hujiang saw his son's pitiful appearance, he was deeply moved. He felt that his son had probably grown up, understood the importance of money, and was thinking about working hard to make a living. So he turned his head to the side and said, "Go on! Be careful on the road!"
When Zhao Hai saw that the old man had agreed, his face lit up with joy, and he walked outside with light steps.
He arrived at the parking lot at lightning speed and saw Xiang Pengfei helping the nurses push a stretcher into the car.
At this moment, Zhao Hai's gaze was like a blazing fire, fixed on Xiang Pengfei, and he was thinking about how to kill Xiang Pengfei.
After some thought, he came up with various ways to kill Xiang Pengfei, but with so many people and cars in the parking lot, he couldn't just do it openly.
Finally, he had a sudden idea: he would stage a car accident, crash his car into the ambulance, and kill Xiang Pengfei.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai opened his car door, intending to get in and ram the other party, because if he didn't act soon, Xiang Pengfei might really leave.
Just as he lifted his leg to lift his second foot, a large hand suddenly slapped down on his shoulder.
Just as that large hand patted Zhao Hai's shoulder, Zhao Hai froze, his pupils dilating to their maximum.
"Zhao Hai, what are you doing here?"
Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Hai immediately relaxed, because his greatest fear was Zhao Hujiang, and since it wasn't his father speaking, he naturally felt much more at ease.
Zhao Hai turned around and found Wu Xiaojun behind him. He quickly said, "I'm going back to the store. Someone is urging me to deliver goods!"
"Really? You seem quite busy. Well then, I won't bother you any longer, so as not to delay your business!"
"It's not too urgent. By the way, what are you doing here?"
Do you still remember Zhuang Zhennan?
"I remember, I remember! Of course I remember! I remember once he and his brother Zhenbei were collecting protection money near the school. You were there too, all snotty and disheveled. You didn't have any money at the time, and you almost got beaten up by Zhennan. Luckily, I stepped in and stopped him and chased him away!"
“I was eight years old then, just starting school. You were a fifth-grader, and Zhennan was in fourth grade. He was leading his third-grader to bully younger students!”
"Yes, yes, it's him. What's wrong with him?"
"He might be dead!"
"What? He might be dead? Don't scare me!"
"Why would I scare you? It's true! This kid is a good-for-nothing. The first time he stole money from his uncle's house, he ran off to the south, but he stole paper instead. He got stuck in the south, and later, through an acquaintance, he met a smuggler, and our police raided the operation. To pay the fine, he listened to my brother-in-law and went to his uncle's house to check the property certificate. He realized he couldn't stay in China, so he tried to smuggle himself out, and he got framed!"
"Wow! Is this for real?"
"Of course, I'm an auxiliary police officer. Although I'm not a formal police officer, I wouldn't lie to you!"
"Oh dear! It's such a pity that he died so young."
"What can we do? Who told him to stray from the right path? This is a classic case of 'those who do many evil deeds will surely perish!'"
"Yes, yes, people shouldn't do bad things, or they'll be punished by heaven!"
"yes!"
As Wu Xiaojun spoke, he glanced at his watch and said, "Alright, it's getting late, I'll be going now!"
Zhao Hai smiled at Wu Xiaojun and said, "You're a government official after all! Your manners are so refined, and your movements are so clean and efficient. You're no longer that little boy with a snotty nose who never wipes it!"
Wu Xiaojun patted Zhao Hai on the shoulder again and said, "That's all in the past, why bring it up? I'm leaving now, drive carefully!"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Understood!"
Zhao Hai watched as Wu Xiaojun got into a patrol car and left the hospital.
It was at this moment that Zhao Hai suddenly remembered Xiang Pengfei. He quickly turned his head to look at the spot where he had been, only to find that Xiang Pengfei was no longer there. Zhao Hai was so angry that he sat in the driver's seat and slammed his fist on the steering wheel. But then he realized that it was too late to do anything about it, so he could only give up on thinking about how to kill Xiang Pengfei.
Back in Zhuang Tunan's ward, Huang Ling stayed for a little while longer. Zhuang Chaoying reminded Huang Ling, "Huang Ling, we should go back to the ward now. There are still two bottles of pre-operative medication to be administered this afternoon, and another one tomorrow. The surgery can be done the day after tomorrow!"
Huang Ling then stood up and said, "Tu Nan, you can rest now! I'll come back when I have time!"
Zhuang Tunan said with a smile, "Mom! You don't need to come see me, I can come see you!"
Huang Ling looked at Zhuang Tunan with a gentle expression and said, "Aren't you having trouble walking? Let me come see you instead!"
"I have a wheelchair and Anna is taking care of me, so don't worry! I'm coming to see you!"
Huang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, I'm off then!"
Huang Zijuan helped Huang Ling up and said, "Come on, Aunt, I'll go back to the ward with you!"
Huang Ling said to Huang Zijuan, "Don't skip work all day just for our family's sake; it'll affect your job!"
Huang Zijuan looked at Huang Ling with a smile and said, "I've asked for leave, Auntie. Don't worry, it won't affect your work!"
"I feel really bad about what you're doing!"
"You're my own aunt, stop nagging. Taking care of you is my duty; it's a Chinese tradition of filial piety!"
"Good, good, our Zijuan is so filial!"
Zhuang Chaoying, Huang Ling, and Huang Zijuan left Zhuang Tunan's ward chatting and laughing.
Three people left the ward at once, and it instantly became quiet.
Anna said from the side, "Zhuang, would you like some water?"
Zhuang Tunan declined, saying, "No need, Anna, you should sit down and rest too! I'm sorry to have troubled you a bit!"
Anna smiled sweetly, looking at Zhuang Tunan and saying, "What's wrong with that? As your girlfriend, isn't it my duty to serve you?"
Zhuang Tunan blushed and said, "Anna, we're friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend. Although you've taken good care of me since you came, which touched me deeply, I'm really not comfortable with you being my girlfriend. Can you give me some time to think about it?"
Anna looked at Zhuang Tunan with a hint of grievance and said, "You still won't admit that I'm your girlfriend? I came all the way from America, doesn't that prove I love you?"
"Anna! Love is not one-sided; it's a two-way street, and it can't be forced!"
"Then what about all the days we spent together? We ate together, slept together, and sold newspapers and magazines together!"
"We can only be considered friends now!"
"Just friends?"
As soon as Anna uttered those words, she felt an overwhelming sense of injustice, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Anna, it's me!!"
Perhaps Zhuang Tunan also noticed Anna's distress and was thinking of saying a few words to comfort her.
At that moment, a graceful girl appeared at the door, wearing a bright red dress and a pair of shiny high-heeled pointed leather shoes.
The girl, carrying a flower basket in her left hand and a fruit basket in her right, walked towards Zhuang Tunan with a smile and said, "Tunan, I heard you were injured, so I came to see you!"
Zhuang Tunan turned his head and saw Li Jia, and he was completely stunned. He was speechless, as if he had seen a fairy!
Li Jia walked to the bedside table, placed the flower basket and fruit basket on it, then tossed her ponytail and turned back to Zhuang Tunan with a smile, saying, "What's wrong? Am I not dressed up pretty enough today?"
