"It’s all my fault for being foolish and believing your nonsense. In this world, even medical geniuses couldn’t save her from this terminal illness, how could I place my hopes on you?"
Wang Yifu’s silver hair was extremely disheveled, his face suddenly looking a dozen years older, crisscrossed with wrinkles, almost demonic!
Soon, those burly men had apprehended Ren Yuanhao, who had no intention of resisting.
"President, he has been successfully apprehended."
"Escort him before Xin’er and make him smash his head until it breaks!"
Ren Yuanhao’s heart turned to ash, and the system also fell silent. He was escorted to Wang Xin’s side. Her face remained as elegant as a white rose, pure and fair, but this girl…
Grief overwhelmed him. Just then, perhaps his eyes were deceiving him, but he actually saw Wang Xin’s slender eyelashes twitching slightly!
"Beep, beep beep~"
The heart rate monitor, as if resurrected, slowly began to sound the heart rate test!
"How is this possible!"
Academician Gao and Wang Yifu both looked at the fluctuating curve on the heart rate monitor and the slowly rising numbers. One’s face was filled with incomparable joy, while the other’s was ashen, looking at Wang Xin as if he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Wang Xin sat up from the sickbed as if she were fine. Seeing seven or eight burly men holding Ren Yuanhao, she frowned slightly and murmured, "Why aren’t you letting him go? Dad, how could you treat a guest like this?"
"Xin, Xin’er! It’s truly wonderful that you’re alright, you scared your father to death!"
Wang Yifu, like a child, rushed to Wang Xin, tears streaming down his face. He immediately waved his hand at the burly men.
"Speaking of which, it’s strange, but in my daze, I seemed to have had a dream. The dream was filled with flames that could burn heaven and earth, the sky was scorched red by a dazzling golden wheel, and in front of me was a river flowing with scattered bones. At that time, I could hear the sound of small chains dragging on the ground. From the middle of the river, a ferry slowly approached. There was no one on it, but I knew it was coming for me. Just then, my body suddenly felt light, and the surrounding scenery kept descending. I was surprised to find myself floating towards a void where white light was faintly visible…"
Wang Xin’s complexion grew better and better, especially when she looked at Ren Yuanhao, her eyes flowing with a blush.
"Good, good, it’s great that you’re okay!"
Wang Yifu was so excited that his voice trembled violently. Meanwhile, Academician Gao had been standing in front of the testing equipment for a while, and suddenly muttered, "No, this is unbelievable. Miss’s cold pulse has completely disappeared! This is completely unexplainable, it’s impossible~"
"Beep beep, cold pulse successfully harvested."
"Damn it, you scared me to death."
Ren Yuanhao continuously wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that life’s ups and downs were as thrilling as riding a roller coaster!
While he was contemplating, Wang Yifu had also walked to his side at some point. He patted Ren Yuanhao’s shoulder with his large hand, his face filled with shame, saying, "Brother, I apologize. I was too impulsive just now and nearly caused a misunderstanding."
"It’s nothing. To be honest, even I thought…"
"That I was dead?" Wang Xin asked with a shallow smile, murmuring.
Ren Yuanhao nodded. "After all, no one has ever tried this medicine before. I actually had no confidence at all. Fortunately, this young lady is blessed by heaven and destined to have great fortune."
"No, when I was dreaming, I actually heard you calling me from behind, so I deliberately slowed down my steps. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have really kicked the bucket."
Wang Xin removed the instrument probes from her body and got up from the sickbed as if nothing had happened. She walked to Ren Yuanhao’s side again and whispered, "You promised me, little brother, that you’d treat me to ice cream. You can’t go back on your word."
"Hahaha, let’s go! Today is the happiest day of my life. Let’s go, we must celebrate no matter what!"
"Wait." Academician Gao raised his hand to stop the three of them, and then continued, "It’s not advisable. Miss has just recovered from a serious illness. She should still rest in bed and go when she has fully recovered."
Wang Xin linked her arm with her father’s, trying to get permission to go out through coaxing.
"That’s right, Xin’er, you have to listen to Academician Gao. Besides, I have something to discuss with my brother, and it wouldn’t be convenient with you here."
"Hmm? What do you need to discuss with little brother behind my back?"
Wang Xin looked at her father, but her father glanced meaningfully at Ren Yuanhao, then chuckled and patted her shoulder, walking out of the ward with Ren Yuanhao.
Outside the ward, a large group of people were waiting anxiously. Seeing Ren Yuanhao and Wang Yifu walk out side-by-side, they intended to step forward and ask, but were intimidated by the looks of those burly men.
Not long after, the two found a high-class restaurant and sat opposite each other.
"Xin’er owes you a great debt this time. My previous promise still stands. Tell me, what do you want? As long as I have it, I’ll do my best to satisfy you."
Wang Yifu was overjoyed. He opened a bottle of Lafite and drank with Ren Yuanhao.
"I said long ago, it’s not about trying to latch onto your Wang family. Besides, when she and I first met, I had no idea of her identity."
"I believe that. However, Xin’er received a great favor from you, and I must reciprocate."
— Holy crap! Since the other party mentioned repayment, what are you, this silly boy, thinking? Of course, it’s to become a CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!
Ren Yuanhao was almost startled by his own fantasy. He picked up his wine glass and took a big gulp, but he forgot that it was Lafite, not plain water. He choked and almost sprayed it onto the other person’s face.
"Uncle, I’m sorry, I…"
"Amazing, this is the first time I’ve seen a man drink Lafite like plain water! Hahaha, brother, you truly are extraordinary."
Ren Yuanhao scratched his head, only to hear Wang Yifu say again, "Brother, are you looking down on this old man? Not even giving me a chance to repay you?"
He waved his hand, suddenly thinking of something, and his face became somewhat awkward.
"Whatever you’re thinking, brother, just say it."
Ren Yuanhao coughed twice, placed his hands on his legs, and said seriously, "Actually, I do have one wish."
"You tell me, let’s see if this old man can help you realize your wish."
Wang Yifu swirled the wine glass, his face always wearing a smile.
"Perhaps this wish is insignificant in front of Uncle. I, myself, was born in a small mountain village, so I have an inseparable emotional attachment. I’ve been thinking that I must repair the road to the village. It’s not about benefiting the people, it’s just a wishful thought."
"Leave this to me. You kid, you’re quite interesting. If it were someone else, they would probably only think of themselves."
Wang Yifu chuckled, took another sip of the fine wine, and his gaze towards Ren Yuanhao changed.
"Uncle, you jest. I’m quite selfish."
