Chapter 1

Where am I?

Opening his eyes and looking at the ceiling fan rotating above, Wang Jincái's face was full of confusion.

When he saw the IV bottle that was administering fluids to him, Wang Jincái was suddenly startled and quickly pulled out the needle from his hand.

How much will this cost!

Thinking about how expensive medical treatment is nowadays, Wang Jincái felt extremely heartbroken.

Wang Jincái was a genuine farmer from deep in the mountains, with a very poor family background. His parents were honest and hardworking, and his younger siblings were still young. Wang Jincái had not even finished junior high school and had been farming at home. At the age of seventeen, he started working at a hydropower station construction site in the mountains with a small contractor from his village, Wang Qihai. He had been working there for more than a year.

He earned fifty yuan per day if he worked, and nothing if he didn't. After deducting ten yuan for food, he often received less than a thousand yuan a month. Even so, he had to send most of his wages back home, leaving him with very little money. He couldn't afford to get sick, and seeing the IV bottle, Wang Jincái saw nothing but stacks of banknotes.

"Who the hell gave me this IV!"

Wang Jincái was about to start cursing.

Just as Wang Jincái was about to get up and leave the bed, the door opened, and a group of people rushed in.

Seeing the room suddenly filled with people, Wang Jincái instinctively assumed a defensive posture.

However, he then widened his eyes to look at the people who had entered.

"Mr. Wei…"

"Captain Huang…"

"Mr. Lin…"

...

One by one, they called out, and Wang Jincái's lips trembled. He couldn't understand why so many important people, who were usually high above him, had come.

This...

Wang Jincái couldn't remember what had happened.

Mr. Lin patted Wang Jincái's shoulder and said, "Little Wang, good job, very good. Our construction site needs more workers like you. Keep up the good work, I have high hopes for you!"

Looking at Mr. Lin's fat and fleshy face, Wang Jincái opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Little Wang, all the leaders from the project department have come. Mr. Lin specifically told your boss, Mr. Wei, to make sure you recover quickly. Here, this is a 500 yuan reward from the project department."

Subconsciously, Wang Jincái took the red envelope from the beautiful female director and looked at Mr. Wei Hongjiang's face.

Mr. Wei Hongjiang, who usually looked as if everyone owed him money, now had a smile on his face. "Take it, take it. Mr. Lin came to see you personally, and the project department has rewarded you. Our construction team will also give you a reward."

Wang Jincái secretly rubbed the red envelope and knew it contained 100 yuan bills.

Thinking about how 500 yuan could solve a lot of problems back home, Wang Jincái tightly held the red envelope.

Lying on the hospital bed, Wang Jincái was wearing a tattered sweater with many holes, and his head was wrapped in thick bandages. His handsome face was covered with blood, but his eyes were bright.

He squeezed the red envelope again. 500 yuan was a large sum of money for Wang Jincái, enough to solve many problems.

"I... I... Leaders, I'm not sick... I'm not sick!"

Suddenly thinking about the cost of the IV, Wang Jincái instinctively said this.

"Take good care of yourself, your health is the capital of the revolution!"

"Little Wang, we will use the best medicine, and you will recover quickly!"

Mr. Lin's face was full of smiles as he shook Wang Jincái's hand again.

"Mr. Lin, the medical expenses?"

Wang Jincái said weakly.

Mr. Lin laughed and said, "Don't worry, everything will be covered by the project department. Just focus on recovering!"

Wang Jincái breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the leaders again, still puzzled.

That's not right, why did so many people come to see me? What happened?

Before Wang Jincái could figure it out, his hand was shaken by one person after another. He noticed that everyone was smiling, and even the women from the project department were holding his hand, with one even adjusting his pillow.

Smelling the fragrance from the women, Wang Jincái was dazed.

One by one, the leaders shook Wang Jincái's hand, patted his shoulder, and said a few words about taking good care of himself before leaving.

They came quickly and left quickly. Looking at the door that the last person forgot to close, Wang Jincái scratched his head, finding the whole situation very strange.

Seeing the few gift boxes piled in the corner and the now empty room, Wang Jincái was even more confused.

Hmm!

Wang Jincái, who was lying there in a daze, became even more puzzled when he heard a voice that should have been far away.

"Mr. Lin, this time was really nerve-wracking!" a woman's voice said.

Yes, I remember, that woman helped me adjust my pillow earlier. She must be the deputy director of the project department's office.

"Yes, it was almost a big deal!"

"Mr. Lin, fortunately, the injuries weren't too serious, and he has been sent to the county hospital."

"Sigh! Arrange for them to be sent away."

Is Mr. Lin talking to the female deputy director?

The car had already started, and the engine roared as it drove away.

Wang Jincái listened to other conversations and heard two people talking.

"Mr. Wei, I heard the girl you saved has a lot of connections?"

"Um."

This was the boss of the construction team, Wei Jianghong, and one of his subordinates talking.

Wang Jincái was more familiar with these two voices.

Hearing their conversation, Wang Jincái struggled to stand up and went to the window to look outside, only to see that Wei Jianghong's car had already driven quite far.

What's going on?

Wang Jincái felt that his ears might be having problems.

After lying back down on the bed, Wang Jincái looked at the ceiling fan, worried about his ears.

How could they be having problems?

After thinking for a while, Wang Jincái recalled what had happened.

He remembered that he was clearing debris with a steel bar in a newly blasted tunnel when several people walked in, including a woman with a camera.

Right, a large rock rolled down, and it was about to hit the woman. He rushed over to push her away, but it seemed that the rock hit him and pushed him into a newly blasted hole. After that, he lost consciousness.

That's not right, my waist should have been hit by the rock!

Wang Jincái quickly touched his lower back.

However, to his surprise, his lower back was fine, even better than before.

If his waist wasn't injured, was his head injured?

At that moment, the door darkened as someone blocked the sunlight and walked in.

Wang Jincái saw that it was the only doctor in the project department, Qiu Zhongyue.

"Why did you pull out the IV? You need to replenish your energy."

As he spoke, Qiu Zhongyue reinserted the IV.

This time, Wang Jincái didn't stop him, since Mr. Lin had said the project department would cover the costs.

"Doctor Qiu, thank you."

"You, saving people is one thing, but you almost disabled Deputy Director Zhang with the steel bar! Sigh!"

"What?"

Wang Jincái looked at Qiu Zhongyue in surprise.

Qiu Zhongyue sighed, "You rushed over with the steel bar, probably to save the woman, but when you threw it, it hit a rock and bounced up, hitting Deputy Director Zhang. What a mess!"

Seeing Qiu Zhongyue shaking his head, Wang Jincái's face changed.

Did I hit someone?

Did I hit Deputy Director Zhang from the project department?

Wang Jincái's calm heart suddenly became tense. This was a big problem!

Wang Jincái knew what kind of person Zhang Qunhai was. He was a college graduate who had been assigned to the project department and was promoted to deputy director of the office in just a year. He often wrote articles for the local newspaper, and to Wang Jincái, Zhang Qunhai was a big shot.

Seeing Wang Jincái's stunned look, Qiu Zhongyue said, "Fortunately, the person you saved has connections, so they won't touch you for now. Just be careful."

"Thank you, Doctor Qiu."

Watching Qiu Zhongyue leave, Wang Jincái became worried about his future.

Wang Jincái found that his mind was suddenly very clear, and he could understand many complex situations.

Could I have gained some special abilities from the accident?

Wang Jincái, who usually liked reading martial arts novels, was excited to think he might have gained special abilities.

Do I really have special abilities?

After being excited for a while, he tried to listen again but couldn't hear anything outside and felt extremely tired.

Unconsciously, Wang Jincái fell asleep again.
