"Can you still stand up?" He Dong looked at Tie Jun, who was lying on the ground, and asked.
"Thank... thank you!" Tie Jun struggled to stand up, his expression a mix of determination and sorrow. He Dong noticed that both of Tie Jun's arms were in casts, but many parts of the casts were already broken.
"How did you end up in this state!" He Dong asked bluntly, showing no mercy.
"I lost money to the boss." Tie Jun's mood was clearly very low, and his voice was weak.
"What about today?" He Dong continued to ask.
"My son is sick and needs money. I asked the boss for it, but he wouldn't give it to me!" Tie Jun's expression became slightly agitated, and He Dong could see that his eyes were filled with hatred.
"How much money does your son need for treatment?" He Dong frowned slightly and then asked.
"Twenty-five million! I've already paid five million, and I still need twenty million!" Tie Jun answered each of He Dong's questions.
"Here is twenty-five million. Take it to treat your child!" He Dong thought for a moment, then took out a checkbook from his pocket, wrote a check, and handed it to Tie Jun.
Tie Jun's current predicament had little to do with He Dong, but to say it had nothing to do with him would be incorrect. If He Dong hadn't won against him, Tie Jun would still be the top bodyguard under Zhou Fugan. To make up for the slight sense of guilt in his heart, He Dong decided to help Tie Jun.
"Why are you helping me?" Tie Jun didn't immediately take the check but instead stared at He Dong in a daze.
"It's nothing. If I have to find a reason, let's say it's out of respect for a father!" He Dong gave a casual reason.
"Master Dong!" Although He Dong appeared calm, Tie Jun was extremely moved. When He Dong turned to leave, Tie Jun suddenly knelt down behind him.
They say a man will do anything for gold, but only when he is in dire straits. These few days had made Tie Jun experience the warmth and coldness of human nature, and he had seen through the world's harsh realities.
Since the day he was injured by He Dong in the ring, Zhou Fugan had arranged for him to be thrown into the hospital and then ignored him, even paying for his own medical expenses.
Although Tie Jun was indignant about his treatment, he had caused Zhou Fugan to lose a large sum of money, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
But this morning, he suddenly received a call from his wife, saying that his son was seriously ill and needed 25 million for surgery, but they only had 5 million at home.
To treat his son, he started borrowing money from all directions after receiving the call from his wife. However, to his disappointment, the friends who usually ran around for food and fun now all found various excuses to avoid him. Only a few former comrades from the military helped him gather some money, but these comrades were not wealthy, and the amount they collected was like a drop in the bucket.
In the end, with no other options, Tie Jun was forced to think of his boss. However, he was most reluctant to borrow money from Zhou Fugan. Although Zhou Fugan, as a member of a top family, could spend more than 20 million on a night out, this man was cold and unfeeling. Under normal circumstances, he would never lend him money, and if he did, there would surely be some particularly dangerous task waiting for him.
Sure enough, as Tie Jun had predicted, Zhou Fugan wouldn't lend him the money. What made Tie Jun even more angry was that someone had angered Zhou Fugan, and his appearance became a scapegoat. Not only did Zhou Fugan curse him, but he also ordered the other bodyguards to beat him up.
Tie Jun didn't care about the physical pain, but the inability to get the money meant his son couldn't have the surgery. This mental pressure was unbearable, and he felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
So, He Dong's appearance not only solved his immediate problem but also gave him the will to live. How could he not be deeply grateful to He Dong?
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!" He Dong could see that Tie Jun was very moved, but he was uncomfortable with people kneeling to him.
"Master Dong, Tie Jun's life belongs to you from now on!" Tie Jun was a grateful person. He wanted to repay He Dong but didn't know how. After much thought, he realized that his life was the only thing he had that might be useful, so he said resolutely.
"What do I need your life for? Quickly take the money and treat your son!" He Dong said, half laughing and half crying.
"Master Dong, if you don't accept me, I'll kneel here forever!" Tie Jun said almost like a beggar, but his eyes were filled with determination.
"You... fine! I'll accept you, okay!" He Dong couldn't stand such things. Besides, taking on a follower wasn't a big deal for him, so he agreed casually.
"Thank you, Master Dong!" Tie Jun's face lit up with joy when he saw He Dong agree. He stood up and said, "Master Dong, I'll send the money home first, and then I'll come to serve you!"
"Alright, alright, do what you need to do!" He Dong waved his hand helplessly and then walked into the military enthusiasts' club alone.
"Master Dong!"
"Master Dong, hello!"
"Hello, Master Dong!" As soon as He Dong entered the military enthusiasts' club, almost everyone who knew him greeted him warmly.
In fact, after so long, everyone had found out He Dong's true identity: a small pet hospital owner. But this small pet hospital owner had made Zhou Fugan, a member of a top family, suffer a great loss and still lived freely. This small pet hospital owner was even revered as a big brother by Wang Xuewu, the first prince of Tianyang City, and even the Chu family treated He Dong with special respect. These facts alone made people dare not underestimate him.
Actually, even the people from second- and third-rate families didn't know, and even He Dong himself didn't know, that after Zhou Fugan suffered a great loss at He Dong's hands, his vengeful nature made him want to immediately take revenge. However, for some reason, when he was about to dispatch a skilled expert from his family, the elders warned him to be more cautious in Tianyang recently, or the family would no longer protect him.
For a spoiled brat like Zhou Fugan, without the support of his family, he was nothing. So, he endured his anger and didn't directly take revenge on He Dong. It wasn't until Wang Xuewu came to resolve the Xu Xiaoyu incident that he saw an opportunity and planned to use this matter to teach He Dong a harsh lesson.
