Chapter 93 She cherishes her life
Tu Yao was stunned. Before she could turn around, the young man behind her was already helping the lame boy catch up in a hurry.
Upon seeing her face clearly, he blushed with excitement: "Sister! It's my sister!"
"Little sister, what are you doing here??? Oh right, the show has already finished recording, of course you can stay here!"
Tu Yao looked at him with suspicion. He was a fair-skinned young man who was very tall. Compared to the sullen-faced boy next to him, he seemed to have a very good temper.
"You know me?"
"Of course I know him! My name is Lin Jing!"
"I was supposed to record a show with you guys last month, but something unexpected happened and I had to take leave."
They invited him for an entire episode.
Tu Yao suddenly realized that the director had mentioned that a non-celebrity guest couldn't come because she was taking care of a friend.
She couldn't help but mutter to herself, which is why there was an extra guest segment, giving Bai Chumeng the opportunity to keep stuffing people into her brother's way.
But when she thought about the reason he asked for leave, Tu Yao paused and looked at Lin Yue beside her: "Is he the friend you're supposed to take care of?"
"Yes, yes, yes! This is my friend, his name is Lin Yue, he is my younger brother and also my friend."
Lin Jing seemed to be a loyal viewer of the show, and was particularly enthusiastic towards her, gesturing wildly as he recounted his favorite live broadcasts to her.
"Little sister, do you know that I'm a fan of Teacher Tu now too! By the way, where's Teacher Tu? Is he here too?"
Tu Yao nodded slowly, staring at the several obvious bruises on his arm. "...Shouldn't you go to the hospital to treat the wounds first, and then call the police?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the excited young man's smile froze instantly, and he looked away as he glanced at the boy next to him.
"Um... that won't be necessary."
Tu Yao nodded again: "Then I'm leaving."
Lin Jing nodded with a reluctant expression.
Watching Tu Yao walk into the hospital, Lin Jing turned his head and asked in confusion, "Why didn't she ask us why we were being chased?"
Wouldn't most people be curious about this?
Lin Yue stared at the hospital gate and let out a heavy sigh: "Because we are just two strangers to her, and strangers with potential danger. She values her life very much."
Lin Jing nodded: "I see..."
"That doesn't make sense. If you were afraid of danger, why did you save us just now?"
Wouldn't it be even more dangerous if it were discovered?
Lin Yue was silent for a while, "...probably because of Grandma, and out of love for her, he also loves her family."
"My sister knows Grandma???"
Lin Yue didn't reply, and Lin Jing didn't ask any further questions.
Thinking of something, he smiled mysteriously and pulled a stamp out of his pocket!
"Hehe, this trip wasn't a complete waste. We stole the seal; it'll scare him to death!"
The next day at noon, Lin Yue walked into the ward and glanced at the plastic bottle on the windowsill, which had been replaced with two small red roses.
The old man took off his reading glasses: "The young lady came today."
He sighed and said, "But he doesn't seem as happy as he was yesterday."
"She seems to really like pretty colors..."
She likes to wear floral clothes, so the flowers I bring for her are also exceptionally bright.
The old man looked at a picture book on the windowsill. "Xiao Yue, bring your paintbrushes and paper from home later."
Lin Yue paused slightly, recalling the scene of her walking into the hospital alone last night, and mumbled an "Mmm".
I casually put two foxtail grasses into the plastic bottle as well.
...
In the port city, in a garden-style manor built against the mountain and covering hundreds of acres, a white helicopter is parked on a natural lawn of several hundred square meters.
A middle-aged man in a suit and tie helped an elderly man along the corridor, followed by two private butlers.
The old man had gray hair and wore a black Tang suit with a coiled dragon embroidered in gold thread above him, which made him look dignified and imposing.
The voice arrived before the person.
"Xu Bai, do you expect an old man like me to beg you three or four times?!"
"You brat! Get down here!"
The visitors were Xu Qishan, the former head of the Xu family, and his eldest son, Xu Cang.
The father and son were playing golf and having a meeting, respectively, when they heard the servant report that Xu Bai's helicopter had landed in the backyard. Xu Qishan didn't even throw down his golf club; he just picked it up and came over.
The old man slammed his gun on the cabin door and roared, "Go, throw him down!"
The butlers were used to it, but when the cabin door opened, they were all stunned for a moment.
"Old...old sir, not young master."
His voice trembled noticeably.
"Who else could it be but that thing!"
The butler gritted his teeth and said, "It's...it's Chairman Xu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qishan pushed the man away. When he saw the figure hunched over the driver's seat, both father and son were shocked. Their previous stern and ruthless demeanor vanished completely!
"It's Koike!"
"Xu Cang! Quickly help your brother down!"
"Go and fetch Dr. Wan again!"
The two butlers quickly stepped back and beckoned over several Filipino maids, giving them instructions one by one.
Although Chairman Xu only visits the garden twice a year, they have to be on high alert every time he comes, striving to avoid making the slightest mistake.
Just as Xu Cang was about to get up, the young man slumped over the driver's seat suddenly stirred, revealing a tired and delicate face.
"Dad, brother, don't worry, I'm fine."
Xu Qishan, in a panic, swung his pole and retorted skillfully, "How can it be alright! Look at your face..."
He looked over as he spoke, then paused, unable to continue.
He took another step forward, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he hissed.
"...You look much better than last year?"
Xu Chi chuckled softly, "Big brother, give me a hand."
"Quick, quick! Help your brother up!"
Xu Qishan got excited again, slapping his cue stick loudly.
Xu Cang looked helpless. "Then calm down first. After all, your little brother is back. If you keep making a fuss, your blood pressure will go up again."
"Okay, okay! Don't talk to me, help your brother!"
...
The father and his two sons arrived at Xu Qishan's private teahouse. After walking for a while, the weariness on Xu Chi's face gradually dissipated.
After sitting down, he said directly, "I've come here today to explain to you the reason why we cleaned up the house last time."
Xu Qishan waved his hand dismissively: "What's there to explain? It's done. Those few have been scheming all these years. They came every day last month to complain, but I didn't like listening to them, so I kicked them out."
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow: "You really won't listen?"
"I won't listen."
Xu Chi took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Xu Feng and several uncles are preparing to join forces with the Bai and Wei families, as well as three other port operators, to form a maritime alliance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qishan's eyes sharpened instantly. "When did this happen?!"
"Before he even had a chance, they dug a hole for him and took his shares as soon as he showed signs of life."
The old man's expression softened, and he said in a deep voice, "You did the right thing."
In recent years, the port city's shipping industry has shown a clear decline. Its golden age has gradually passed with the establishment of the inland trade zone, and it is jokingly referred to as a sunset industry.
Xu Feng's move was nothing more than using the guise of unity and mutual assistance to actually advance his control.
Competition is inevitable in the process of advancement.
In the course of competition, there will inevitably be casualties.
When the economic market is in chaos, it is ordinary people who suffer the most.
Xu Chi gave a mocking smile: "Not only that, these uncles of our clan have lofty ambitions."
Xu Qishan retorted irritably, "How ambitious are you? Do you think you can turn the sunset industry of Hong Kong into a sunrise industry?!"
Xu Chi put down his teacup: "Smuggling must not be done in the open."
Xu Qishan: ?
The old man suddenly stood up: "What?!"
"That's what he's planning?!"
Xu Qishan is a patriotic businessman with impeccable revolutionary credentials. He was on the front lines during a time of crisis and despises lawlessness and disorder more than anything else in his life.
Xu Cang's face darkened. He first used the name of the alliance to annex the entire port, but in reality, he controlled the shipping for smuggling. Has he gone mad?
"No wonder you told him he was immoral!"
The old man, though deeply angry, calmed down. "How long has he been planning this? And who has he been in contact with?"
Xu Chi: "They're just a few foreign companies."
He turned to look at Xu Cang: "I think I'd like to have my elder brother keep an eye on this for a while, to see if it's better to take a long-term approach and catch them all in one fell swoop, or to just try to recover the losses in the short term."
Xu Qishan immediately stopped asking questions and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let your older brother handle it. You should take care of your health."
Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the tea room.
This garden consists of more than a dozen long corridors, several artificial hills, and four natural lakes that separate the inner and outer residences. The private doctor lives in the outer residence and is available whenever needed.
The person who came was Xu Chi's private doctor. After greeting Xu Qishan, he began to perform basic examinations on Xu Chi.
A few minutes later, Dr. Wan was both surprised and puzzled.
"That's strange! Chairman Xu's various health indicators have improved a lot!"
Xu Chi lowered his eyes and smiled.
really.
