Chapter 76

In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room, and Xiao Chen opened his eyes.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Chen rubbed his head, which was a bit sore...

Yesterday, he had drunk way too much, drinking several bottles of Red Star Erguotou alone at the cemetery, and last night, the three of them had finished off six bottles of Maotai before leaving!

Although his alcohol tolerance was quite impressive, he couldn't handle such heavy drinking, especially when his mood was already bad, making it easier to get drunk!

After lying in bed for a while longer, Xiao Chen got up, washed up, and then went to the living room.

Suzhen was already busy in the kitchen, and a few breakfast items were laid out on the table.

"Good morning."

Suzhen smiled and greeted Xiao Chen when she saw him get up.

"Uh, good morning. I drank a bit too much last night and couldn't get up this morning."

"Was your mood bad yesterday? Drinking so much..."

"Hehe, nothing much, it was just a special day, and I met up with two friends," Xiao Chen said with a smile, feeling a bit guilty.

"Oh, let's have breakfast then."

"Okay."

As they were talking, Su Xiaomeng came downstairs.

"Big Brother Chen, good morning."

"Uh, good morning!"

Xiao Chen nodded and then noticed Su Xiaomeng secretly beckoning him.

"What's up, Xiaomeng?"

Xiao Chen went over, puzzled.

"Yesterday, I saw Brother Snake outside the school."

"Brother Snake? What was he doing?"

"Nothing much, he was probably just hanging around. We happened to meet, and we chatted a bit... He said he would definitely look out for me! Also, he asked me to pass on his greetings to you, saying it was his boss, Xing Ye's, idea."

Hearing this, Xiao Chen understood. Huang Xing was trying to make amends with him!

Moreover, Bald Snake going to No. 1 High School wasn't just a casual stroll; he must have been waiting for Xiaomeng on purpose!

Otherwise, with his status, why would he have nothing better to do than hang around the school!

"Uh, I see." Xiao Chen nodded but then stared at Su Xiaomeng. "Hey, that's not right. Why weren't you at school? What were you doing outside?"

"I... I just went out for lunch!"

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you!"

"Oh, try to stay in school more often. After all, someone is watching your sister..."

"I know, it's fine!"

"What are you two talking about? Why so secretly?" Suzhen came out of the kitchen.

"Ah? Nothing!" Su Xiaomeng shook her head and gave Xiao Chen a look.

"Are you up to something bad?"

Suzhen stared at her younger sister, a bit suspicious.

"Of course not, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Su Xiaomeng said, feigning hurt.

"Yes!"

Suzhen nodded firmly.

"..." Su Xiaomeng opened her mouth, then threw up her hands in frustration. "I can't argue with this, I feel like the boat is about to capsize..."

After breakfast, he first sent Su Xiaomeng to school, then went to the company.

"Big Brother Chen!"

Xiao Chen had just arrived at the security department when he saw Ding Li coming out.

"Uh, where are you going?"

"I'm going to check the surveillance room."

"Nothing yet?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.

Ding Li shook his head. "No."

"Oh, no need to rush. The bait is set, the fish will eventually bite!"

"Uh-huh!"

After a few more words, Xiao Chen went to his office, made a cup of tea, and turned on his computer.

Before he could decide what game to play, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The office door opened, and Tong Yan came in.

"Minister Xiao..."

"Uh? Tong Yan? Why are you here? Hehe, it's not because the salary has been paid, and you want to treat me to a meal, right?"

Xiao Chen looked at Tong Yan, a bit surprised, and joked.

"The salary hasn't been paid yet... Minister Xiao, I came to apologize to you..."

Tong Yan lowered her head, feeling apologetic and embarrassed.

"Apologize? For what?"

Xiao Chen asked curiously.

"The other day, my mother called you and said some things she shouldn't have..."

Tong Yan thought about what her mother had said when she got home and wished she could find a hole to hide in!

She had come to find Xiao Chen yesterday, but he wasn't there, so she came again today.

"Oh, you mean your mother's call? Hehe, it's nothing..."

Xiao Chen thought about the call from the other day and smiled. Although he had been speechless at the time, he had forgotten about it afterward.

"Uh, I've already told her not to call you again... Minister Xiao, if it caused you any trouble, please forgive me. I'm sorry."

Tong Yan bowed in apology in front of the desk.

"..."

Xiao Chen was about to speak when his gaze fell on the white skin at the collar of Tong Yan's neck... especially the faint valley inside, which made him swallow hard. It was really tempting!

However, after the last lesson, he was more careful. As soon as Tong Yan raised her head, he quickly averted his gaze!

"Hehe, it's nothing, you don't need to worry... I think your mother is quite... cute."

Xiao Chen couldn't think of a better word and blurted out "cute."

"Thank you, Minister Xiao. I'll go back to work now."

Tong Yan felt relieved and more comfortable when she heard Xiao Chen's words.

"Did you come specifically to see me?"

"Uh-huh."

"Are you busy going back? If not, let's chat a bit?"

"Ah?"

"Cough, nothing, I'm just a bit bored..."

"Sorry, Minister Xiao, I have things to do when I get back..."

"Alright, go back to work then."

Xiao Chen nodded helplessly. With what the girl had said, what else could he say? He couldn't force her to stay, right?

"Okay, see you later, Minister Xiao."

Tong Yan smiled and turned to leave.

Xiao Chen watched Tong Yan's back and the swaying of her firm buttocks, licking his lips. He muttered to himself, wondering if he was just too deprived, making him so thirsty...

After playing a couple of games in the office, he got bored and went to the gym, where he continued to train the security guards... This process was also one of promotion and elimination, with a few security guards being dismissed!

He said, if someone's skills weren't up to par, they could continue as a security guard... but if their character was bad, he couldn't tolerate it and would kick them out!

He spent most of the morning in the gym, also venting some of his desires on the fitness equipment!

Additionally, he had a fierce battle with the top three experts, fighting multiple opponents at once. Although he didn't use his full strength, it was still an exciting fight!

In the afternoon, Xiao Chen drove Qin Lan's Hummer to the city's Second Hospital.

Today was the day Li Mother was discharged. She could have been discharged in the morning, but Li Sheng insisted on doing a full-body check-up...

Xiao Chen understood Li Sheng's thoughts. He just wanted to leave more evidence to witness this miracle...

Although he didn't want Li Sheng to spread the news, some things could still be published in academic papers, which would certainly cause a stir!

Even if it was just said that Li Mother had mysteriously recovered, it would give more patients with terminal illnesses hope to live, which was a good thing!

So, Xiao Chen didn't stop him and pretended to know nothing.

"Big Brother Chen, you're here."

Li Hanhou had already packed everything and was waiting for Xiao Chen.

"Uh, are you all ready?" Xiao Chen nodded and then greeted Li Mother.

"A Chen, you've been so much trouble lately..."

"Hehe, Auntie, why are you being so formal with me? Don't say 'trouble' anymore..."

"Okay, I won't."

Li Mother smiled and nodded. At this moment, her complexion and spirit were completely different from before...

Even some doctors who didn't know the details were amazed, calling it a "miracle"...

If it weren't for Li Sheng's restraint, this would have already caused a city-wide sensation, and the media would have reported on it!

After all, many doctors in the oncology department knew about Li Mother's condition, which was clearly in the late stages, with no hope of a cure!

But now, her recovery was so miraculous, how could it not shock everyone?

This was no longer just a "miracle," but almost a "miracle of God"!

"Big Han, have you settled the bills?"

Xiao Chen turned to Li Hanhou and asked.

"Uh, yes, everything is settled. Director Li even gave us a discount," Li Hanhou nodded and smiled.

"What? A discount?" Xiao Chen was a bit surprised. Hospitals could give discounts?

"Yes, I heard they waived a lot of fees, which is like a discount, right?"

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly. Sometimes, it was hard to communicate with this guy!

As they were talking, Li Sheng arrived.

"Brother Xiao, you're here to pick them up."

"Uh, Brother Li, you've been a lot of trouble these past few days..." Xiao Chen shook hands with Li Sheng.

"No problem, my teacher called me from Beijing, asking me to pay more attention to this... Otherwise, he would scold me," Li Sheng smiled.

"Hehe, Teacher Yao is really considerate..."

Li Sheng looked at Xiao Chen, hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiao, about what I said last time..."

If it were in front of Teacher Yao, Li Sheng wouldn't dare to bring it up again. He knew that no matter how much he argued, he couldn't win against his teacher... If Xiao Chen showed any interest in being a doctor, his teacher could probably even arrange for him to be a hospital director!

"Hehe, Brother Li, don't make it hard for me..."

"Alright, I won't bring it up again!" Li Sheng finally gave up.

Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Li Sheng's face.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, Brother Li, Teacher Yao was right, you do look a bit weak... But Teacher Yao should have treated you, so you're much better than before!" Xiao Chen's smile became a bit strange. "In certain aspects, you need to know how to restrain yourself!"

"..."

Li Sheng was very embarrassed. Being told this by a younger man, his face felt a bit hot!

"But don't worry too much, with Teacher Yao's treatment... these are small issues, just a bit of restraint is needed..."

"Cough, okay..."

Third update!
