Chapter 177
"What's the name of the person who attacked you?" Fu Le asked irritably, sitting on the stool by the bed.
"Hey, don't worry about adult matters. Just focus on your studies." Old Fu waved his hand, unwilling to discuss these things with Fu Le. In his mind, Fu Le was still that mischievous boy who liked to jump around.
It's a very familiar phrase that Old Fu kept repeating to himself until his death in his past life.
He wanted to be a master who could do everything, but he couldn't see his own strength.
"Is this Wen Feng and his wife?" In my past life, this couple had also caused trouble, but in the end, Old Fu managed to get rid of them without returning the money.
She had heard her mother talk about this money. Ten years ago, Lao Fu asked this couple to invest in a cement factory in the county. They promised interest, and the couple mortgaged their house to help Lao Fu borrow the money. Lao Fu was unreliable and entrusted the money to his trusted brother, who then ran away with the money. The couple managed to catch him red-handed and recovered the principal, but the lending company made the couple pay the interest. In this matter, Lao Fu was actually a victim, but the root cause was his unreliability.
Fu Le took a deep breath and exhaled weakly.
If I could change my biological father, I would really want to.
"Your mother told you that? That old woman, really."
Fu Le stood up, took out a small medicine bottle from his bag, poured out a pill and handed it to Old Fu, "Take this." It's for repairing internal injuries.
Old Fu obediently took the water, drank it down, and looked at his daughter with a hint of timidity in his eyes. He knew that his daughter was angry, but just didn't want to argue with him.
Give me your phone.
"What for?" That's what she asked, but she still handed over the phone.
Fu Le found Wen Feng's phone number, memorized it, and tossed it to Old Fu, saying, "I'm leaving. Get some rest. One more week, it's time to go home."
That medicine will keep the scars away for at most three days, and a week is enough.
"They're gone already?" Old Fu shouted.
"Eat the fruit on the shelf." Fu Le casually left him a green fruit to help him recover his energy.
"Oh. What kind of fruit is this?" Before he could finish asking, Fu Le had already disappeared. Old Fu awkwardly withdrew his hand, grabbed the fruit on the table, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Hmm, it tastes pretty good. I've never had this fruit before. What kind of fruit is it?
...
Feifei Tavern.
Wen Feng and his wife were surprised to find that instead of the police, they were greeted by Old Fu's daughter.
"Wen Feng, I heard you used to be my dad's comrade-in-arms?" Fu Le sat across from him at the dinner table, the surroundings quiet and devoid of any human presence.
Because the venue was booked out. The owners were all in the kitchen.
"No, it's the neighbor's." Wen Feng's face was grim. Judging from Old Fu's daughter and the two door gods at the entrance, he was in for a beating today.
"Hmm, how much does my dad owe you?"
“Eighteen,” Wen Feng answered honestly. The plump woman beside him glared at him with her triangular eyes, her gaze unfriendly.
Beneath the table, unseen by anyone, the woman's right hand was firmly gripped by Wen Feng.
"Are you really Old Fu's daughter?" Shouldn't she be a senior in high school at this age? What's she doing here, with bodyguards? Could she be a kept woman?
"Why did you lay a hand on my father? Who did it?" Fu Le asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wen Feng paused for a moment, then said, "So what if I did it? Old Fu owes my man money, and not only does he not pay it back, but his attitude is also so outrageous. If I don't beat him up, I'll feel incredibly frustrated!!! Don't try to scare me, next time I see him, I'll beat him up again!!"
Fu Le stared intently at the woman's outburst, then turned to Wen Feng, "As far as I know, these eighteen are interest. Were interest rates this high more than a decade ago?"
"Loan sharking is all about compounding interest. If your dad didn't promise us a share, and considering we're in the same unit, how could I possibly trust him?"
"Oh, so you can still profit from this, right?"
"If there's no profit, who's going to lend him money? Do they think we're stupid?" the woman retorted.
"Peilan!" Wen Feng was startled by the woman's shout and reached out to cover his wife's mouth.
The woman struggled for a moment, then stopped, continuing to glare at Fu Le.
"Okay, got it. Wang Li, bring it in." Fu Le turned and called towards the door.
Upon hearing this, Wen Feng and his wife looked over in surprise and disbelief, only to see a tall, burly man carrying a black cloth bag enter through the doorway.
Upon reaching her, Wang Li glared fiercely at the woman. Overwhelmed by Wang Li's imposing aura, she turned pale and huddled closer to the man, a typical example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"Boss, it's all here." Wang Li placed the bag on the table.
Fu Le nodded and pushed the bag forward. "There are twenty in here. Give me the IOU."
"Really? Really?" Wen Feng couldn't believe it; he had actually gotten the most difficult debt to settle this time.
Actually, the interest wasn't 180,000, it was 150,000. The last 30,000 was the interest he had already added for Lao Fu. But judging from Lao Fu's attitude, he was going to give her another 20,000. If that were true, they would have made a huge profit.
"If you won't look, I will." The woman rolled her eyes at Fu Le, picked up the bag, and unzipped it.
"My God..." It really was money, stacks upon stacks, as if it had just been withdrawn from the bank. She pulled out a bill, twirled it a few times, and confirmed it was real.
The couple exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. Old Fu's daughter had really found a rich suitor! At such a young age, she was quite something.
Fu Le glanced at their expressions and knew what they were thinking: filthy things, everything they saw and thought was filthy.
A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Hurry up, or the money will be gone."
"Count, count, count right away!" The couple excitedly counted the money.
Splash splash splash...
For a moment, the entire tavern was filled with the sound of money being counted.
After a long while, Wen Feng said, "I've finished counting. The total is two hundred thousand, not a hundred less. Here's the IOU." Wen Feng's face was rosy and he was all smiles.
"Okay." Fu Le took it, and after confirming that it was a note signed by Old Fu, he lit it with a lighter.
Only after he was burned to ashes did Fu Le stand up amidst the joyful gazes of the two.
“150,000, you took 50,000 more than me. Do you think money is so easy to take?” After saying that, Fu Le walked towards the door. “I broke the right hand and right leg of two people and then personally took them to the hospital. That 50,000 is the compensation.”
"yes."
"Fu Le!! How dare you!! Ahhh..." Wen Feng was shocked and stood up, wanting to run away with the money, but Wang Li and the other transport team would not let him go.
"You little bitch, ahhh..." The stench in her mouth didn't even have a chance to come out before the woman's face was already swollen from being slapped, and Wang Li's hand was on hers.
Who told her to dare insult her boss? She'll be beaten to a pulp!
She also knew something else about these two people: the one who absconded with the cement factory's money was Wen Feng's younger brother. Otherwise, how could the cunning and treacherous Wen Feng have used his own house as collateral? The money they wanted to earn was this interest, but unfortunately, they got themselves involved as well, which led to the righteous and righteous scene of them demanding payment later on.
Is Lao Fu a good person? Yes, when he has money, he gives money and food to the village's elderly living alone every month, and he personally takes care of everything when his wife's family is in trouble. Is Lao Fu a bad person? Also, he lacks a sense of responsibility towards his family, taking on everything for himself, and he also lacks responsibility towards his friends, having cheated many of his comrades who lent him money. When he runs out of money, he hides away and doesn't answer anyone's calls. Therefore, Lao Fu is a very divided and contradictory person.
But this very man was her father, and in her heart, he was her everything.
If she could live her life a second time, and her world couldn't take it anymore, she would take the lead and steer everything back on track.
In the car, Fu Le called Lao Fu's personal assistant and said, "Keep a close eye on Lao Fu. We're short-handed. Call Zhou Han and ask him for more people. We can't let today's situation happen again."
"Okay, boss."
A few days later, Lao Fu had one more personal assistant.
In the middle of the night, Fu Le suddenly woke up from her dream. This time, she saw a hospital sign that read: Tibet Western Military Region Hospital.
It's a grid!!
Although he didn't dream again, everything was all too clear to him.
Once awake, Fu Le couldn't fall back asleep. He got up and wanted to look up information about the hospital, so he went straight to the Yellow Pages phone book.
I searched carefully for half an hour, but couldn't find the hospital's phone number.
He took out his phone and dialed Zhou Han's number. Zhou Han answered quickly, "The Western Tibet Military Region Hospital, do you know where it is?"
Zhou Han was taken aback by the question. Why would he need to go to the hospital in the middle of the night? Despite his confusion, he answered quickly, "I know, there's a direct train from the capital, a three-day, three-night journey."
"Are there any connecting flights? I'm in a hurry." The person was actually in the hospital. Fang Ge had urged her to go there in her dream, so something must have happened. If she went, would something happen to Fang Ge again? Thinking about this, Fu Le became anxious.
“Yes, let me check the time…” Zhou Han said, “It’s 3 a.m. now. You have an hour and a half to get to the Capital Airport. The earliest flight there is at 4:30 a.m. from the capital… It will take about 15 hours in total.”
"Okay, book the tickets for me. I'm leaving now."
"good."
As soon as Fu Le hung up the phone, Little Prince climbed onto Fu Le's shoulder, squeaking and whimpering anxiously. It was very worried about Fu Le and could sense that her emotions were fluctuating greatly.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll take you to find your other friend." Fu Le patted the little prince's head reassuringly.
The little prince hugged Fu Le's neck, nuzzled it affectionately, and patted his chest to show that it was there, which to some extent calmed Fu Le's emotions.
In less than ten minutes, Wang Li drove up to the door.
"Boss, Brother Han has already booked the tickets. We can just pick them up when we arrive."
Western Tibet Military Region Hospital.
Xiao Zhou was startled awake by the sound of the door being opened forcefully.
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw that it was the Mo family who had arrived, including the battalion commander's biological father and his arrogant stepmother.
"What are you doing? Everyone should be sleeping at this hour. What are you doing in the intensive care unit?" Xiao Zhou had no liking for the battalion commander's family, even though the head of the Mo family was a regimental commander.
"Xiao Zhou, watch your attitude," Mo Hui scolded with a dark face.
Xiao Zhou stood up, blocking the couple's view. "What exactly are you trying to do?" Coming over at this hour can't be anything good.
“Xiao Zhou, we are Qi Xiu’s parents. Would we harm him? Step aside. We need to transfer Qi Xiu to another hospital. We’ve already informed the hospital director. Look, all the paperwork is done.” Yang Ling calmly took out the transfer paperwork from her backpack and handed it to Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou didn't answer, and said bluntly, "No matter what, the battalion commander can't go anywhere without the commander's order. Or did you get the commander's permission?"
Upon hearing this, the couple's faces darkened. "This is our family matter. What does it have to do with the chief? Qi Xiu is already brain dead. Staying here is just a waste of money. He's been like this for over a year with no improvement, which proves that the medical resources here have been exhausted. If we transfer him to a better hospital, maybe he'll recover quickly. We are Qi Xiu's parents; we wouldn't harm him," Mo Hui said unhappily.
"No way! I was sent by the commander to take care of the battalion commander. As long as the commander hasn't said my mission is over, I can't release him. If you have something to say, talk to the battalion commander. If I let you take the battalion commander away today, my career is over. Now, get out of here! You're disturbing the battalion commander's rest, get out!!" The last sentence was Xiao Zhou's way of shooing them away. His disgust for the couple had become visceral; he knew they had ulterior motives for taking the battalion commander away.
He had heard that the battalion commander's mother had left him a large inheritance, which was controlled by a lawyer friend and could only be obtained by the battalion commander. Now that the battalion commander was in this state, it was easy to guess why they wanted to take him away. It was definitely a case of a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, with ill intentions.
What Xiao Zhou didn't know was that human nature is the most vulnerable to temptation and scrutiny.
The Mo family couple returned at 10 p.m. the following night, this time with a different method.
"Xiao Zhou, the commander is calling. Can you answer it?" the head nurse informed him.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Zhou put down the basin, turned around and went out, leaving a small piece of paper stuck to the door.
However, to everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the nurses' station, not only was the head nurse absent, but even the nurses who were usually on duty were not there. The phone was lying there untouched, untouched.
The special care ward is some distance from the nurses' station, so by the time Xiao Zhou realized something was wrong and sprinted towards the ward, it was already empty.
"Battalion Commander!!!" With a loud shout, Xiao Zhou rushed towards the elevator, only to find that the elevator had already reached the first floor.
"Aaaaaah!!!" Enraged, Xiao Zhou rushed towards the stairs like a madman. If he lost the battalion commander today, the commander would definitely be doomed. He deserved to die!! He wasn't careful enough!!
As Fu Le hurriedly got off the military vehicle, she happened to be driving a military green jeep that was turning out of the hospital parking lot. The other driver probably didn't expect her to rush out, and for a moment he lost control and drove onto the curb.
"Excuse me, are you alright? Why don't you come down and go to the hospital for a check-up?" Fu Le walked up to the glass window of the bridge.
A middle-aged man's face appeared, his expression cold and stern. "No need."
After saying that, the man rolled up the glass window. At that moment, Fu Le's gaze inadvertently swept over the face of the man who was resting with his eyes closed behind him, and for some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Soon, the man's face disappeared through the rising glass window. The other car started reversing, and Fu Le took a few steps back to let the other car out.
Just then, a furious roar rang out from behind, "Mo Hui!! You stop right there!!! Give me back my battalion commander!!!"
