Now, Gu Quanyou regrets the most that he didn’t have a good meal with Zhao Zhiqiang and didn’t let him finish what he wanted to say!

"Wife, is my life really worth that much money?"

"It is. Don’t even talk about it. I would be willing to give away everything we have to save your life!" Chen Liqin, hugging her husband who had narrowly escaped death, cried uncontrollably!

"Um, I’ve come to terms with it. If it’s meant to be, it will be. If not, I won’t force it. Let’s go, I’ll go and apologize to Mr. Xiao in person. I wonder how he is doing?"

"Husband, why did Zhiqiang spit blood?"

"Sigh... According to their industry, it’s probably because he revealed something he shouldn’t have," Gu Quanyou guessed, "Let’s go to the hospital and find Mr. Xiao!"

...

After getting rid of that meddlesome Korean, Zhao Zhiqiang hid in the guard’s tea room at the hospital and ate the food he had just bought with the guard.

The guard had recognized Zhao Zhiqiang the day before, but unfortunately, they didn’t get a chance to talk.

They had known each other before the guard joined the army. He was one of Zhao Zhiqiang’s closest classmates, the older brother of the gambling and womanizing Zhu Zijun, Zhu Ziqing.

Zhu Ziqing was a very honest person, and it was unexpected to meet him here. After a few words, his replacement arrived, and he didn’t hesitate to eat with Zhao Zhiqiang. He even brought two bottles of beer, but unfortunately, Zhao Zhiqiang couldn’t drink.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu, I even borrowed your suit for the junior high graduation photo," Zhao Zhiqiang recalled, feeling as if it were just yesterday. He took a sip of water and smiled.

On the way, he had scattered 100,000 yuan and used the "thousand gold scatter" technique seven times, which made his mental strength particularly strong. His mood was also particularly good.

Seeing Zhu Ziqing and knowing his family’s situation wasn’t good, Zhao Zhiqiang said he had made a little money serving in the military abroad and forcibly gave him 10,000 yuan. The honest Zhu Ziqing insisted on writing an IOU and even shed tears. After a good talk, Zhao Zhiqiang finally relaxed and ate with him.

They hadn’t eaten for a few minutes when they heard a huge noise from the collapsed area, followed by chaos and the hospital’s emergency response. The security department’s urgent call came through!

Zhu Ziqing quickly put down his food, grabbed his equipment, and rushed over.

Zhao Zhiqiang’s heart sank.

He asked someone and learned that no one was injured... his heart finally relaxed.

However, he was still very scared. He heard that it almost killed two people... it must have been Gu Quanyou and the others.

Just one step away...

This was too close. He couldn’t afford to delay anymore, especially when it involved the Chen family, who had helped his family.

He still had Aunt Chen’s bag and phone. He thought for a moment and decided that if they were fine, they would definitely come back to the hospital to find him. So, he took the items back to the ward, ready to go through the discharge procedures, but unexpectedly, Director Jin from the medical office came over.

"Little Zhao, Old Lin will be back in Bin City tonight. He has been waiting for you all afternoon to give you a prescription for your mother. If you have time, go see him. The discharge procedures will be handled by the head nurse."

Jin Dalai was very surprised. This young man’s luck was really good. Others begged Old Lin to see them, but this guy was being chased by the old man to get a prescription.

Zhao Zhiqiang remembered this matter. If it weren’t for Gu Quanyou and Chen Liqin’s issues, he would have gone earlier. He quickly thanked him and told his mother before leaving.

He had only been gone for a couple of minutes when Chen Liqin and Gu Quanyou rushed in.

"Brother Zhao, is Daxiang back?"

"Ah, he’s back." Hua Xuemei quickly brought over the beautiful bag her son had given her, saying it was to make her happy, "President Chen, are you here to pick up the bag? Daxiang left the bag and said you would come to get it later. He went to the retirement home’s Building One, as Old Lin needed him."

She handed the bag over.

Chen Liqin looked disappointed, and Gu Quanyou’s face turned pale.

"What’s wrong? He said he might come back later or go home directly in the evening."

Hua Xuemei was puzzled. These two seemed to have urgent matters, but it didn’t seem like they were there just for the bag.

Chen Liqin, quick-witted, smiled, "Hehe... Sister, since we have nothing else to do, let’s help you pack. When Daxiang comes back, we have something to ask him."

"Ha, ask him? No need, just tell him to do it!"

Gu Quanyou, hearing Hua Xuemei’s words, felt so ashamed he wanted to find a hole to hide in.

He regretted it so much!

Thinking about the car still being crushed, he realized he needed a tool to get home...

He took out his phone and called the company secretary.

"Send a driver to the city hospital. My car is damaged, have him handle it. Also, bring the company’s Lincoln van, I need it."

He hung up the phone.

Suddenly, he remembered what Old Lin had said, "A mental illness needs a mental cure. You’re too worried, and the mental pressure is too high..."

Thinking about it, he was now in a precarious situation, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He had borrowed 200 million yuan, and a year had passed, but it was like throwing money into the water. Things kept going wrong, and he was always in a headache. It wasn’t really a disease; Old Lin’s diagnosis was clear. The problem was too much worry. Even a prescription couldn’t cure the root cause. A mental illness needs a mental cure.

Who could cure this mental illness?

Unfortunately, an hour ago, when the person offered to help him, he called him shameless?

"Ah, I really wish Mr. Xiao had taken all that money. I feel so uneasy. He saved my life, and I scolded him..."

Gu Quanyou was deeply regretful, muttering as he helped carry things.

"Hmph, you know, just one step away, and we would have been separated by life and death. You, stubborn fool! When we see him, we must apologize properly!"

"Um..."

...

At the restaurant across from the city hospital.

Most of the people who had been eating there hadn’t left yet. When they heard that the underground garage of the city hospital had collapsed, they didn’t pay much attention at first. Later, when they heard that the couple who almost got hit had just run out of the restaurant, they realized and started looking for the mysterious young man!

"Wow, it really was around 12 o’clock! My grass!" A person who remembered clearly shouted in surprise!

"Hey, I said before that the young man was definitely a master. Who would suddenly spit blood? That’s not revealing something, what? You guys were just talking nonsense, even wanting to call the police, making the master unable to finish his meal, and I missed the chance to ask about my fortune!"

"Master? I think you look like a master. That young man is definitely a grandmaster!"

Another person at a nearby table said, "I saw his fingers move quickly, his eyes fixed on the woman, and then he gave the result and spat blood! Isn’t that amazing?"

"Still talking! You were the loudest. If someone gives money, just take it. What’s it to you if it’s 100,000 or 80,000? Now you’re blaming others for missing the chance."

"Right, you started by asking how much your husband was worth. Damn, how much is a life worth?" A big man shouted.

"Is your life worth something?" His wife shouted angrily, "If you hadn’t been so showy, we might have asked the master to help us figure out why we can’t have a son!"

"Disaster comes from the sky, disaster comes from the sky!"

The restaurant owner was still savoring the words of the young master. Hearing the people still arguing, he coldly said, "Your life, worth something? Ignorant!"

He was also very angry. If he hadn’t chased the person away, he might have asked him to look at the feng shui and improve his fortune.

Now, the opportunity had slipped away.

In fact, he deeply regretted it. His curiosity, fear, and herd mentality made him not want to keep the person.
