Zhou Chengzhi handed the money to Zhuang Zhennan and said, "Take the money and go. From now on, we'll be strangers. If you get caught by the police, don't say you know me!"
Zhuang Zhennan hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, from today onwards, we're done with each other and owe each other nothing. I'm leaving now, big brother!"
Just as Zhuang Zhennan turned to leave, the phone on Zhou Chengzhi's desk rang. Zhou Chengzhi quickly went over, picked up the receiver, and said, "Hello, who is it?"
"Hey, big brother, it's me! Liu Wu!"
"Liu Wu? How's it going? Where's the money?"
"Brother, I was originally going to deliver this to you, but then your brother-in-law, Xiang Pengfei, saw me!"
"What? You bastard, how could you do this? He always finds out, what are you good for?"
"No, boss, I didn't expect him to show up at the movie theater. I was trying to give you money, but your brother-in-law ran into me!"
"Alright, where are you?"
"I'm in the open space on the left side of Jinhua Street. Don't worry, boss, there's a wall blocking the car, I won't be spotted!"
"Okay, don't move, I'm coming right now. By the way, where's Hao Liu?"
"I went out to make a phone call, and he was guarding the car!"
"Okay, you go back quickly, I'll come find you right away!"
"Hey!"
Zhou Chengzhi hung up the phone, turned his head and saw Zhuang Zhennan still at the door, so he said, "Great, you haven't left yet. Come with me! Take Liu Wu and Hao Liu with you too, so the three of you can look after each other!"
Zhuang Zhennan said with some unease, "Are you planning to take the ten thousand with the three of us?"
"No, no, ten thousand each, that's thirty thousand. If the three of you go to Thailand or Myanmar, this money can make you feel like millionaires!"
So Zhou Chengzhi took Zhuang Zhennan out of the cinema, got into the car, and went directly to the open area of Jinhua Street, where they found the wall that Liu Wu had mentioned.
As soon as Liu Wu saw Zhou Chengzhi, he handed him the bag he had snatched and said, "This is what we took from that old man. Brother, take a look and see if it's true!"
Zhou Chengzhi took the bag, counted it, and found there were exactly eleven stacks. He then took three stacks and handed them to Zhuang Zhennan, saying, "Zhennan, you've been to the South before, so from now on, these two are in your hands. You're their leader. Each of them gets ten thousand, and the other ten thousand is for your travel expenses!"
Zhuang Zhennan took the 30,000 yuan, his face suddenly breaking into a wide smile. He said, "Don't worry, brother. You can take these two brothers with you. I will definitely take them abroad and they will never return to China until they have made something of themselves!"
"Alright, then I'll wait for your triumphant return! Oh, and this car is for you too! Take it and go!"
"Thank you, brother. We're off now!"
"Um!"
Zhuang Zhennan got into the car and drove away with Liu Wu and Hao Liu.
Zhou Chengzhi also carried his 80,000 yuan back to his movie theater.
Meanwhile, Xiang Pengfei, along with Wu Xiaojun and Huang Zijuan, arrived at the hospital. After inquiring with the nurses on duty at the entrance, they learned that Zhuang Tunan had not suffered any serious injuries and was already in a ward.
As soon as the three of them entered the ward, they saw Anna covering Zhuang Tunan with a blanket, indicating that Zhuang Tunan was asleep.
Xiang Pengfei asked Anna anxiously, "How is he, Anna? Is my brother Tu Nan seriously injured?"
Anna pouted and said, "It would be a lie to say it's not serious. My ankle was dislocated, and eight out of ten toes were injured. The doctor bandaged it up!"
Is your old thigh bone injury alright?
"Thankfully, he's alright. The doctor put a cast on him and said he won't be able to get out of bed and walk for more than half a month!"
"Will I be able to walk in two weeks?"
Xiang Pengfei asked with some surprise, "What about his old injury?"
"When we took his X-rays, we also checked his femur. It's basically healed, but this injury... sigh!"
"That thigh bone injury was the real serious one. It's fortunate that it's healed. This time, although it was also injured, it's not a major problem, so it's even more fortunate!"
Anna nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. He's lucky. I didn't expect my cousin Zhuang Zhennan to be so incorrigible and steal things again. Didn't I make him suffer a lot last time?"
Huang Zijuan said, "This is what they mean by 'it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.' No matter how many chances you give him, he will always be the same person, and he can't change."
At that moment, Zhao Hujiang came over with a bag of apples at the ward door, smiling as he said to Xiang Pengfei, "Young man, thank you so much! You not only saved my daughter today, but also got me to the hospital. Thank you so much!"
Xiang Pengfei quickly said, "Uncle Zhao, you don't need to be so polite. Zhao Ping and I are classmates, it's only right that I do this little thing!"
"No, that won't do. We're classmates, and we can't forget the kindness shown to us. I'll definitely repay it when I have the chance!"
"No need, no need. By the way, how is Zhao Rong?"
"Sigh, she's still in the ICU under intensive care! Without the money for surgery, the doctors won't do it! I'll try to find a solution tomorrow morning; I hope she can hold on!"
Xiang Pengfei lowered his head and said, "As Zhao Ping's classmate, I should have done my part, but my aunt is also waiting for surgery, so I'm a little short on funds!"
Zhao Hujiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, I'll think of other ways, I'm sure I can raise the money for the surgery!"
As he spoke, Zhao Hujiang turned to Wu Xiaojun and said, "Xiaojun, can your police force still help me catch the person who robbed me?"
Wu Xiaojun looked at Zhao Hujiang and said, "I have already reported the situation to the bureau. They will send people to investigate. It's dark now, and we don't know the license plate number, so it won't be easy to find it!"
"Yes, yes, I understand the situation. The car's headlights were very bright, but the taillights were off, and I couldn't see the license plates on either side. Even though the car was right next to me, I didn't know it, so the police couldn't possibly know either. Sigh, it's like a stone sinking into the sea!"
"However, Uncle Zhao, don't worry, we will do our best to help you find it. Besides, the money you borrowed is life-saving money, so we can't be careless about this!"
"Sigh, whether I find it or not, I still want to thank the People's Police for putting in so much effort and manpower to search for me. After all, Suzhou is so big, it must be difficult to find!"
"Uncle Zhao, you don't need to say thank you. The people's police serve the people, and this is what we police officers should do. Although I am not a formal police officer yet, I have no regrets in serving the people!"
At this moment, Xiang Pengfei, with his head down, seemed lost in thought. He was probably considering whether or not he should tell the people here. He had seen Liu Wu and knew that Zhou Chengzhi was behind it all, but his thoughts were probably much deeper. After all, Zhou Chengzhi was his brother-in-law, and he couldn't face Zhou Yuxiang if he sent him to prison. Besides, this wasn't the first time he had kept quiet about something he knew. If he continued to hide it, how could he face his uncle, aunt, and Tu Nan, who was lying in bed at the moment?
Huang Zijuan looked at Pengfei in a daze and said, "Pengfei, Tu Nan is resting. Let's not disturb them. Let's go back!"
Xiang Pengfei said to Wu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, could you please take my sister Zijuan back? I'll stay here for today and not go back!"
Huang Zijuan said, "Hasn't Tu Nan already seen a doctor? He's resting now, so your presence won't make a difference!"
Xiang Pengfei bit his lip and said, "I just feel sorry for my brother Tu Nan. He hasn't had a good time since the accident. No one can stand it!"
After hearing Xiang Pengfei's words, Huang Zijuan felt that Xiang Pengfei was quite sentimental, so she stopped trying to persuade him and instead said to Wu Xiaojun, "Thank you for your help, Officer Wu!"
Wu Xiaojun blushed and said, "I... I'm not a police officer yet, just an auxiliary police officer!"
"Auxiliary police officers are also public security officers! Aren't they all serving the people?"
"Yes, that's right. Let's go! We'll take you home!"
Zhao Hujiang also said to Xiang Pengfei, "Pengfei, I'm going to my daughter's ward too. We'll contact each other again if anything comes up!"
"Okay, then I won't see you off!"
"It's alright, you've had a long day too, sit down!"
Zhao Hujiang, Wu Xiaojun, and Huang Zijuan all left the ward.
Xiang Pengfei said to Anna, "Anna, why don't you go back too? I'll stay and watch over Tu Nan!"
"No, I want to stay with Tu Nan. It's all my fault for being too slow last night, that's why he got hurt!"
