Chapter 58

One month later, Anchuan People's Hospital.

"Be careful, go slowly." Lin Xiaofeng supported a middle-aged woman wearing a plain cotton hat and walked down the stairs carefully.

"Okay, okay." The woman smiled softly and patted Lin Xiaofeng's hand gently. "Didn't you say you called a car? Is it here?"

"It should take a few more minutes," Lin Xiaofeng turned his phone around, "The pick-up point is here, eh, that's..."

Song Zhiyi?

“…”

"... Don't worry, I definitely won't run around this time." Song Zhiyi was playing with the tassels under her scarf out of boredom, listening to the chatter on the other end of the phone with a helpless expression.

She originally thought she would be free after being discharged from the hospital, but who knew that she could go anywhere, but she had to be accompanied by at least two people. Today, her brother was busy promoting the movie, and her parents were busy arranging a large number of innocent employees of the Liu family. She originally thought she was finally free, but she was greeted with endless phone calls.

Seeing that she seemed busy, Lin Xiaofeng slowed down his pace to come over. However, Song Zhiyi had already noticed the movement here. His expression suddenly relaxed. He said something hurriedly and quickly hung up the phone.

"Huh..." The world became quiet. Song Zhiyi narrowed his eyes happily and greeted with a smile.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled back and said apologetically, "Did I bother you?"

"No, there was nothing wrong, it was just my dad nagging me." Song Zhiyi was full of helplessness when she mentioned this. She had completely lost her "freedom" these days. It was fine that someone followed her wherever she went, but whenever she left home for an hour, her parents and brother would call her nonstop. If she had known this, she would have let them travel freely abroad.

Song Zhiyi sighed, put the phone in his pocket, and pulled up his sleeves. Last week, the first snow fell in Yaskawa City, and it has been cloudy until today. Although the temperature is not very low, it is still cold to keep your hands outside.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Lin Xiaofeng finally remembered the purpose of his visit, and asked hurriedly, "Why did you come to the hospital? Are you not well yet?"

That day she saw with her own eyes the bullet hitting Song Zhiyi's abdomen. Although Song Zhiyi was safe in the end, Lin Xiaofeng still had nightmares for several days. She didn't feel relieved until Song Zhiyi was discharged safely from the hospital. Now when she saw her in the hospital, that feeling of suspense rose up again.

"Nothing, just came for a checkup, how about you?" Song Zhiyi asked.

"I'm glad you're okay," Lin Xiaofeng let out a breath and smiled, "I'm here to pick up my mom from the hospital. The doctor said she's recovering well."

"Auntie is discharged from the hospital so soon?" Song Zhiyi was a little surprised.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, with a bigger smile on his face, "The doctor said my mother recovered very quickly. She was transferred to the general ward a week ago. She even went out to make a few snowballs on the day it snowed."

As he spoke, Lin Xiaofeng turned around, raised his arm and waved at Mother Lin, "She really wanted to go home, and I saw that she had almost recovered, so I asked the doctor to take her out of the hospital today."

Song Zhiyi looked in the direction of Lin Xiaofeng's finger and met the gentle and loving gaze of Mother Lin. She was looking at her daughter tenderly, and when she felt Song Zhiyi's gaze, she smiled back.

The weather in Anchuan City today is not that cold, but Mother Lin has wrapped herself in so many layers of clothes that her thin body looks bloated. She wears a light-colored cotton hat that covers her bald head. Her cheeks are rosy, and although they are still a little sunken due to her thinness, she has gained some flesh.

Compared to the person Song Zhiyi saw in the photo a few months ago, they looked like two different people.

At that time, Mother Lin was so thin that she was just a bag of bones. Her hair had fallen out due to chemotherapy. Her sallow face looked deathly pale. Only her eyes were startlingly bright, and her desire to survive was revealed in her pain.

Song Zhiyi arranged for the hospital and doctors to treat Lin's mother. After receiving the bill, she finally understood why in the plot of the "novel", Lin Xiaofeng could only seek help from Liu Qifan.

——The sky-high medical bill was something that Lin Xiaofeng, a rookie who had just graduated, could not afford.

However, even though they found the best hospital and doctors for Mother Lin, they were only able to control her physical condition and prevent it from getting worse. It can be said that a month ago, Mother Lin was completely relying on money to stay alive.

It was not until Master Zhao died that the Golden Ball returned the luck that had been taken away from them. Mother Lin's health finally recovered and she was transferred to the People's Hospital. To this day, except that she is too thin, Mother Lin is almost indistinguishable from a healthy person.

"...I still have to thank you, otherwise my mother might not have survived until now." When Lin Xiaofeng saw her mother's current appearance, a bitter feeling rose in her heart. She blinked with emotion in her eyes.

When she was at her wit's end, she almost went back to find Liu Qifan and fell into his trap.

Song Zhiyi looked away, and seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, he suddenly felt overwhelmed, and half-jokingly said, "You've already thanked me many times. If you really want to thank me, then just make a good movie and make me more money, okay?"

Half a month ago, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly found her and took the initiative to ask to sign her film and television contract with Song Zhiyi's studio without any compensation. To put it bluntly, it was like working for free, and all the money she earned was used to pay off the medical expenses paid by Song Zhiyi.

Song Zhiyi originally wanted to refuse, so she asked her to ask Chen Yuning's opinion first, thinking that this would make her back off. However, who knew that Chen Yuning actually agreed to this outrageous request.

You have to know that although Lin Xiaofeng is not a big star, she is gradually getting better, especially as the "female protagonist" chosen by Master Zhao, she is a person with great luck. After Master Zhao's interference, her popularity suddenly soared a lot, and she received many job offers. She is simply a young but growing money-making tree. I don't know how Chen Yuning is willing to let her go.

But no matter what Chen Yuning thought, words have been spoken and cannot be taken back. Song Zhiyi could only let Liu Liu sign Lin Xiaofeng's sub-contract, paying him monthly wages, and being able to leave anytime after paying off the debts. The terms of the contract were very lenient.

The two exchanged a few words of greeting before the car Lin Xiaofeng called arrived. Mother Lin couldn't be exposed to the wind for too long, so Lin Xiaofeng hurried back and helped her into the car.

Song Zhiyi watched them leave with a sad look in her eyes. She reached out her left hand to the right, but felt nothing. The moment she withdrew her hand, a cup of warm milk tea was stuffed into her palm.

Qi Nanfeng hooked two small bags on his fingers, pinched a chestnut with both hands and pressed it lightly, followed by a crisp beeping sound, and the air was filled with the strong chestnut fragrance. Qi Nanfeng peeled out the chestnut meat through the paper towel and passed it to Song Zhiyi. Seeing that Song Zhiyi was still in a daze, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just met a friend." Song Zhiyi tore open the straw package, inserted the lid with a pop, took a sip of hot milk tea, took the chestnut and put it in his mouth, and glanced at the very familiar bag on Qi Nanfeng's arm.

——It’s strange, why can’t she remember when this bag came into his hands.

Forget it, if you can’t figure it out, just stop thinking about it. Chestnuts are very fragrant.

Song Zhiyi took another sip of milk tea.

…

Winter is the peak season for influenza and the hospital was crowded. Song Zhiyi and his companion waited for a while before they received the examination report, and everything was normal.

The doctor was amazed at this and said that Song Zhiyi was the fastest recovering person she had ever seen. Song Zhiyi could only smile in response.

After leaving the hospital, Yu An drove again, but the final destination of the navigation was not the Song family, but a remote village.

That is Qi Nanfeng's ancestral home, the place where Song Zhiyi was kidnapped when she was young, and the burial place of Zhao Yushu, the younger sister of Master Zhao.

A month ago, things developed as Song Zhiyi had expected. When the distance between her and Lin Xiaofeng reached a certain limit, Lin Xiaofeng suddenly regained consciousness and turned back at a speed that even she could not react to. With great ruthlessness, he snatched the jade pen from Master Zhao's hand and threw it towards her.

Afterwards, Song Zhiyi found out that Lin Xiaofeng's family was poor when he was young, and he practiced track and field and javelin in order to earn prize money.

In short, after getting the jade pen, Song Zhiyi almost immediately unzipped her chest pocket and stuffed the jade pen in. At the same time, the bullet shot by Liu Qifan also hit her abdomen.

To be honest, she didn't feel much pain at that moment, but her mind went blank. Maybe it was because of the brain's self-protection mechanism. Now she can't remember how she felt at that time.

She only remembered that the character card booklet placed in front of her stomach seemed to have a faint light flash, and then she heard a half scream in her ear. She came to her senses and looked over, only to see Master Zhao Qi Liao bleeding and died suddenly on the spot.

Master Zhao's death was sudden, and Liu Shunan wasn't much better off either. He should have died seven years ago, but he used unorthodox methods to keep himself alive. Now that Master Zhao was dead, Liu Shunan would soon follow.

As for the other members of the Liu family and Master Zhao's subordinates who had received "benefits" from Master Zhao, they all suffered backlash to varying degrees. Among them, some who were more deeply involved, such as the man with the scar, immediately followed Master Zhao.

Master Zhao was a cautious person by nature. He would not allow anyone to sleep soundly where he lay. Even the closest subordinate was a mile away from the garden, and was now caught up in the chaos of his companion's sudden death. Song Zhiyi and Lin Xiaofeng seized the opportunity and easily caught Liu Qifan, who was forced to abandon his gun and flee because of a jam in the chamber.

Once the door is closed, no one can hear what is happening inside.

The hiding place that Master Zhao had carefully arranged eventually became his burial place.

Yu An and his men came over a little slower than Song Zhiyi had expected. There was a reason why Master Zhao chose to hide here. The magnetic field here was chaotic, and the positioning signal of Song Zhiyi's watch was intermittent. It took a lot of effort to track them down.

Fortunately, he managed to catch up in time. In addition, Song Zhiyi also saw a somewhat out-of-place figure in the crowd - Qi Nanfeng.

Song Zhiyi really wanted to ask him why he was here, but now was not the time to reminisce. The burning character card book in her arms and her gradually heavy eyelids told her that there were more important things to do.

So, Song Zhiyi passed out instinctively. Before he lost consciousness, he mumbled something like "don't worry."

However, after waking up and seeing so many people in the ward, Song Zhiyi realized that she had not said enough.

When he woke up from a "daze", before he had time to be surprised how his parents who were far away overseas appeared here, Miao Henliu with bloodshot eyes threw a stack of contracts at him. When he opened it, he saw that it was the equity transfer agreement of Liu's enterprise.

Song Zhiyi signed silently and couldn't help but confirm again whether she had been in a coma for a day or a week.

The answer is still the former.

Well, although Miao Henliu's speed of attack was beyond her imagination, but when she thought about it carefully, it was not very surprising.

After all, they have been planning for this day for a long time, and have been gradually encroaching on the Liu family's business empire in the past few years. Now that Liu Shunan and Liu Qifan are one dead and one crazy, the Liu family is leaderless. This is not only the best time to take action, but also the easiest time to succeed.

After seeing Song Zhiyi wake up with his own eyes, Miao Henliu left the hospital not long after, along with Song Yunzhi and Jingchen and his wife.

The big boss has been dealt with, but there are still many miscellaneous matters to deal with. Liu Qifan's imprisonment is a foregone conclusion, but the other living people in the Liu family are not so clean either. They are good citizens who abide by the law, so of course they have to provide clues to the police.

As for Song Zhiyi, she was kept in the hospital to recuperate, and was ordered not to leave the ward until she recovered.

Then, Song Zhiyi once again became a legend in the hospital with her amazing recovery speed. All doctors and patients knew that the young girl who was hit by a bullet in the terrorist attack was about to be discharged from the hospital after only four days! And she was still alive!

Being discharged from the hospital should be a happy event, but looking at the patients who came to congratulate and "share good luck" one after another, Song Zhiyi felt exhausted. He regretted again that he had been so "harsh" when modifying his injuries. It would be better to stay in the hospital for two more days than to be a monkey and be watched by onlookers now.

Yes, "Modify Injury".

In the eyes of outsiders, she recovered so quickly because of a lot of luck and her young age and good health. But only Song Zhiyi knew that luck was real. The bullet fired by Liu Qifan coincidentally hit the wheelchair, causing it to deviate from its trajectory and reduce its force. Finally, it was blocked by the gems and notebook in her pocket, so there was no penetrating wound. As for her young age and good health, she did not deny it, but it was not the most important reason.

Of course, I still opened it a little bit~~

In fact, Song Zhiyi did not simply faint before, but entered the magical space again and saw the golden ball.

The character card book and pen were successfully recovered by the Golden Ball as planned. As the guardian of the world, the Golden Ball cannot directly modify the fate of others, not even to get it back on the right track. Therefore, this matter can only be handed over to Song Zhiyi. The reason why she was unconscious for a whole day was that she was busy dealing with these things.

Of course, Song Zhiyi didn't want to work for free, but she still got some rewards: it was definitely necessary to change her injuries into minor ones, and the personal card booklet was a good thing, and she hadn't used it up yet, so it was reasonable to borrow it for another month, after all, she had made such a great contribution!

The memories ended, Song Zhiyi stroked the navy blue cover and curled her lips slightly.

A month has passed, and it is almost time to return the personality card book. During this month, she used the personality card book to collect many good artists who are still unknown, and also invested in some "potential stocks" in the film and television industry, just waiting to make a fortune in the future.

Having followed Song Zhiyu around for most of the year, she seemed to have been infected with laziness by her stupid brother. With a tap of her finger, Song Zhiyi looked out the window.

Or, take another long vacation?

Miao Henliu's bloodshot eyes slowly emerged in his mind. Song Zhiyi shuddered and shook his head wildly from side to side to dispel this horrifying image.

No, I can't just squeeze Sister Miaomiao alone. Song Zhiyi frowned slightly and tapped her fingers faster. It just so happened that my parents came back... Catch them and make them work! Why retire when you're not old enough!

Song Zhiyi was finally satisfied and closed his eyes to take a nap.
