"What!!!"
Chen Guangrong's voice came through the microphone and almost ruptured Chen Luo's eardrums.
"Dad! Can you keep your voice down?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangrong's voice grew even louder.
"Shut up, you bastard! If you're going to have a girlfriend, fine, but why are you calling her your future daughter-in-law?"
"Could it be that you, you little rascal, dared to get someone pregnant behind my and your mother's back, and then secretly register your marriage with them?"
"You little brat! You've only been in college for a short time, and you already dare to ruin young girls?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Luo felt like he had countless black lines on his forehead!
He had only said three sentences when his father changed how he addressed him three times, each time more offensive than the last, showing how angry his father was.
But it's not surprising that he's overthinking it, since his father has been a beat cop for so many years and has handled all sorts of bizarre cases and disputes.
"Dad! You're supposed to be the deputy director, but my country's marriage law stipulates that the legal age for men to get a marriage certificate is 22. Besides, I don't have a household registration book, how am I supposed to register?"
"call!"
A long sigh came from the phone, a sound of complete relief.
"I'm surprised you even have any legal awareness. You almost scared me to death. You have no idea, there was this young man here last time, he was absolutely outrageous."
"He got a 17-year-old girl pregnant at only 16, and then came to the police station to ask how to get married. What do you think of the world these days?"
Listening to his father's incessant chatter, Chen Luo felt drowsy, but he couldn't interrupt him.
My father's rambling nature is a result of his many years of serving the people at the grassroots level. If you interrupt him, he will start talking again.
It took Chen Guangrong a full eight minutes to finally finish explaining the case before he remembered to ask about the specifics.
"Alright, kid, just tell me the truth."
"Tell me the other person's name, age, occupation, and physical characteristics!"
"No, Dad, are you interrogating a criminal?"
"I'm not interrogating a criminal, I just need to understand the situation in detail, so you don't get fooled without even realizing it."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. You should just focus on your work. I'll bring it home to show you guys when winter break starts."
Just as Chen Luo was about to hang up the phone, he heard Chen Guangrong suddenly shout.
"etc."
Chen Luo stopped hanging up and heard his father's hesitant voice.
"Dad, is there anything else?"
"Your mother's illness is still the same. There's a very famous traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Hangzhou called Suxin Clinic. They say there's a very famous doctor there. Go there and ask if they have any prescriptions."
"I'll transfer you some money. Let me know if it's not enough."
"Okay, I got it. I'll go after class today."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Luo's voice became low, and his expression darkened.
The mother's illness has always been a thorn in the side of the father and son.
To be precise, it's not an illness, but an injury.
Back then, my father, Chen Guangrong, was a young police officer with a very high case-solving rate in the police station. He had a promising future and a considerable reputation in both the local underworld and legitimate circles.
He has arrested over a hundred criminals, and has been awarded the Third-Class Merit Citation three times and the Second-Class Merit Citation once.
But if you stand by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. There are bound to be many criminals among the police, and some of them might even be vicious thugs.
More than a decade ago, when Chen Luo was still a child, Chen Guangrong had a rare holiday and took his wife and children to a nearby scenic spot.
As they got off the bus, a young man carrying a homemade shotgun appeared out of nowhere and was about to shoot Chen Guangrong.
At this moment, Chen Luo's mother, Ling Huihua, stood in front of Chen Guangrong and Chen Luo and was hit by a shotgun bullet, falling into a pool of blood.
By the time Chen Guangrong realized what had happened, the assailant had already fled. He quickly took his wife to the hospital.
After emergency treatment, Ling Huihua's life was saved, but several bullets from the shotgun remained in her back. Because they involved arteries and the spinal cord, they could not be removed.
For so many years, Ling Huihua has been able to sleep on her stomach, and every now and then her illness flares up, causing her to writhe in pain on the ground, completely out of control.
For many years, Chen Guangrong has taken his wife to major hospitals and renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in various places, but the answer he received was always the same: there was no way to cure the disease, only alleviate the symptoms.
It's just that after so many years of drug treatment, drug resistance has gradually increased, and many painkillers are no longer effective.
Every time he saw his wife writhing in pain on the ground, Chen Guangrong, a man of steel, could only hold her and weep, his heart breaking with self-blame and guilt.
This kind of illness really can't be solved with money.
Chen Guangrong's superiors, the director and former director of the municipal bureau, all took good care of him.
I introduced them to well-known doctors and hospitals more than once, and even reimbursed their medical expenses, but the results were minimal.
Now that Chen Luo has some money, he plans to take his mother to a major hospital abroad for treatment, even though the chances are slim, he still wants to give it a try.
"Oh right, I haven't told Wan'er about this yet."
Chen Luo picked up the phone, but before he could dial, Wen Xiu's call notification appeared on the screen.
"Hey, Fifth Brother?"
"Brother-in-law! Chen Luo! Help!"
"Huh? Fifth Brother, what's wrong? Did you encounter any danger?"
"Yes! Dangerous, extremely dangerous!"
"What? Where are you?! I'm coming to save you!"
"ah!"
Wen Xiu suddenly screamed, and Mo Lan's voice came through the phone.
"Fifth Young Master, I didn't want it to be like this either, but who told you to offend President Wen? You'd better get back to work."
"Chen Luo! Help! Wen Wan has made me handle all the company affairs! She wants me to finish all the backlogged tasks within three days and also coordinate with Yelena."
"If I make even one mistake, I'll be sent to the central market alone as the vanguard!"
Chen Luo shrugged helplessly, looking utterly resigned.
"Fifth Brother, I really can't help you."
"Waaaaah! I'll never get drunk again, even if you beat me to death!"
Wen Xiu was crying uncontrollably as she looked at the mountain of documents, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Wait, Vanguard? You're already planning to send people to the Central Market?"
"Yes, didn't Wen Wan tell you? Assistant Hongye and a few executives have gone over there to check out the situation."
"Will there be any danger?"
"Probably not, it's just reconnaissance. I'm getting back to work, this is awful, I'm worse off than a slave!"
"Fifth Young Master, get to work! You can't talk anymore!"
"Beep beep beep!"
The phone rang, and Chen Luo was a little worried. After all, the situation in the central market was somewhat complicated. He decided to go see Wen Wan tonight to find out more about the situation.
...
Jiangling City, in the central part of Xia Kingdom.
Chen's Group, President's Office.
A sexy woman in a black dress leans back in an office chair, her eyes and brows revealing a chilling aura as she stares at the screen in front of her.
"Chen Luo, Chen Luo."
"It's truly unbelievable that those guys in Beijing would praise a college student so highly."
"However, my brother Chen Qun said that this guy might come to the central region. Where did he get that news? It's ridiculous. This place is in complete chaos right now. Are there any idiots who want to come and snatch chestnuts from the fire?"
"Or is it that Chen Luo has something bigger on his mind than I imagined?"
"bite!"
A WeChat notification sounded, so I picked up my phone to check.
The person who sent the message was Wen Wan!
