Chen Jin Chao suddenly found his mouth bitter.
This was the cigarette he had been smoking, why had he never noticed it was so bitter before?
A moment later.
Chen Jin Chao suddenly understood.
It turned out the bitterness was not from the cigarette, but from life.
Facing Luo Feng's gaze, Chen Jin Chao originally wanted to say something, but as the words reached his lips, he felt that comforting words would be too hypocritical.
"Young man, I suddenly agree with what you're doing," he said.
"At the same time, I think you're a very brave young man to have this kind of character at your age. When I was your age, I paid no attention to worldly affairs and devoted myself solely to studying the teachings of the sages."
Luo Feng said bitterly, "I also want to be a normal student, but fate is unkind. After finishing junior high, Xiao Jing was hospitalized for treatment, and she hasn't experienced high school life. Brother Chen, do you think this world is very unfair?"
A grain of dust in an era, falling upon a person, becomes a towering mountain!
Chen Jin Chao took a breath and said to Luo Feng, "Xiao Jing will thank you, and I believe this time will be the happiest and most carefree period of her life. However, I think you should take Xiao Jing back to get treatment now. With the current advancements in medicine, there might be a turning point."
Luo Feng was about to say something.
Chen Jin Chao added, "I will cover Xiao Jing's medical expenses. We met by chance, and that is fate."
"Brother Chen, this… is not appropriate!" Luo Feng said.
He was a young man with strong principles, and if Xiao Jing knew about this, she would definitely not agree.
Cai Xiao Jing was well aware of her physical condition, and it was highly likely that the money would be wasted.
Chen Jin Chao patted Luo Feng's shoulder, "Don't you want Xiao Jing to live?"
"I do…" Luo Feng blurted out.
"Then isn't that reason enough?" Chen Jin Chao countered.
Luo Feng's eyes were filled with tears, he couldn't believe that Chen Jin Chao, whom he had only met by chance, would extend a helping hand, undoubtedly bringing a ray of hope into their already dim lives.
He nodded repeatedly, and choked out, "Thank you, Brother Chen. Whether Xiao Jing gets better or not, I'll owe you for all the medical expenses. As long as I'm alive, I won't forget!"
Chen Jin Chao originally wanted to say it wasn't necessary.
Then he thought that this might support Luo Feng's conviction, so he didn't refuse.
"Later, you can find a hotel in a lively place in town to check into. Give me your contact information, and someone will contact you tomorrow morning and take you back," Chen Jin Chao said. Luo Feng was so overwhelmed that he didn't know how to express his gratitude.
"Brother Chen, I forgot to tell you one more thing. You need to be careful of these Xinluo people. I overheard them speaking in the Xinluo language on the mountaintop today, vaguely mentioning 'adult' and 'plan.' If you go alone, you might be in danger." Luo Feng said.
Chen Jin Chao threw the cigarette butt into the snow and stomped it out with his foot.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I knew these Xinluo people had ill intentions. You don't need to worry about the rest. As a soldier of Hua Guo, it is my duty to investigate thoroughly."
Protecting the country is a soldier's sacred duty.
Luo Feng's respect grew, and he even secretly resolved to become a soldier like Chen Jin Chao!
The two returned to the living room.
Kim Tae Hyung and Jung Jae Joon were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.
Chen Jin Chao walked to the door of Yu Meng Zhi and Cai Xiao Jing's room, then took Yu Meng Zhi aside outside the main entrance. He told Yu Meng Zhi about Cai Xiao Jing's condition. Yu Meng Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said with heartache, "Xiao Jing is not even seventeen yet after the New Year, how could this happen?"
Chen Jin Chao told Yu Meng Zhi his thoughts. Yu Meng Zhi nodded, "Yes, we can help them, and seek peace of mind."
"However, I suspect Xiao Jing might be reluctant to accept treatment. She has been plagued by illness for so long that she has developed a rebellious attitude towards it." Chen Jin Chao's words enlightened Yu Meng Zhi. The reason he called Yu Meng Zhi out was precisely because he hoped Yu Meng Zhi could persuade Cai Xiao Jing.
"Alright, leave it to me," Yu Meng Zhi agreed.
"By the way, are you going to settle accounts with the remaining Xinluo person next? I say, we must not let these people get away with it, they must be severely punished!"
Chen Jin Chao grunted.
His plan was to first settle Yu Meng Zhi and the young couple, and then deal with Park Kwon Ho.
At that time.
At the other end of town, there was also a resort.
In an inconspicuous building within the resort, Park Kwon Ho was respectfully reporting the situation of Kim Tae Hyung and the other to a short-haired middle-aged man.
Upon hearing this, the short-haired middle-aged man became furious and turned to slap Park Kwon Ho away.
Park Kwon Ho's cheek split open, but he could only endure the pain and crawl to the middle-aged man's feet to kneel, like a dog.
"Adult, I have sinned, please mete out your punishment!" Park Kwon Ho trembled.
The middle-aged man grunted, "Anyone who can't control their lower body is trash. To achieve great things, one must not have women in their minds. You should have stopped Kim Tae Hyung and Jung Jae Joon at the time, and now that they have fallen into others' hands, it is a just punishment."
Park Kwon Ho trembled, not daring to interrupt.
A moment later.
The middle-aged man stood up and walked to the window, saying, "However, we Xinluo people should be united, especially in a foreign land. Has the person who attacked you agreed to come?"
Park Kwon Ho secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "According to Jung Jae Joon's report, that person is on his way after settling his companion. Adult, what should we do next? Should we hold a banquet to apologize, or should we… him…"
The middle-aged man said in a low voice, "Apologize?"
"Apologize my ass!"
"I will seek justice for you and let him know that we Xinluo people are not to be insulted."
Park Kwon Ho was extremely excited.
The adult was finally taking action, that Chen Jin Chao would surely have no way out.
The middle-aged man turned to Park Kwon Ho and said, "You can get up now, then go wash your face and get bandaged, so as not to be laughed at by the Hua Guo people."
"Yes, Adult!"
Ten minutes later.
Park Kwon Ho's face was bandaged, and he looked much better.
He saw the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, so he carefully controlled the volume of his voice, lest he incur the middle-aged man's displeasure.
Knock, knock, knock!
A sudden knock on the door sounded. Park Kwon Ho's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Kim Tae Hyung and the other two had brought Chen Jin Chao.
"Adult, I'll go open the door," Park Kwon Ho asked for permission.
After receiving the middle-aged man's approval, Park Kwon Ho ran to the door and saw Kim Tae Hyung and Jung Jae Joon, their faces bruised and swollen.
Behind them stood Chen Jin Chao, his expression cold.
Park Kwon Ho felt a strange sense of danger emanating from Chen Jin Chao, which made his heart race, but he still said, "Mr. Chen, please come in."
"Our adult has been waiting for you for a long time."
