Chapter 1 Waking Up

Sleepless, Su Yehao felt as if he'd been beaten all over, especially around his shoulders, which were even worse than a stiff neck.

His head throbbed with even slight movements.

Seeing the young girl applying makeup, he asked, "Where did Jiang Yu run off to?"

"Tsk, her skin's too thin. I saw her sneaking out when I first woke up, and she even sent me a text saying she'd never drink again, but I don't think she's angry. She's probably just embarrassed."

As she spoke, Nangong Tian threw a pillow at him, adding, "You got what you wanted, didn't you? We drank a lot last night, but you definitely weren't that drunk. Was it all premeditated last time too?"

Su Yehao dodged the pillow, which pulled at his back, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air. Seizing the opportunity to change the subject, he said, "Crap, who stole my pillow last night? I think I pulled a muscle. I might have to go to the hospital."

"...Are you faking it, or is it real?"

The young girl hurriedly got up, walked over, and said, "Do you want me to call an ambulance? You really didn't seem to be sleeping on a pillow this morning. Serves you right for being such a jerk and always bullying people."

After the Maldives incident, she wasn't really that angry, just a little upset.

Seeing that Su Yehao didn't seem to be faking the pain, the young girl panicked a little.

"No need for an ambulance, just get me my clothes. I'll take a taxi to the hospital myself."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he found a position that was somewhat comfortable and carefully held still.

After getting dressed and quickly washing up, he took the elevator straight to the underground garage.

...

Earl Medical Group, managed by Old Madam Tang, has a general hospital in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong. Su Yehao had even had a tooth pulled and a physical examination there.

He drove to the hospital with ease and called his mother, only saying that he had accidentally twisted his back.

Soon.

A spinal surgeon rushed over to examine Su Yehao. The results showed it was just a muscle strain. A nurse helped with a cold compress, prescribed some painkillers, gave him a simple massage, and advised him to rest in bed for the next few days.

At this moment, lying on the bed in a VIP single room, Su Yehao sighed and said to Nangong Tian, "It really is karma. Am I really getting old? I strained my back from just a simple workout."

"Tch, are you sure it was just a simple workout last night?"

The young girl lowered her voice, rolled her eyes at him, and continued, "Since you're okay, I'll have Jiang Yu come take care of you later. I have to go to Baodao. You know, to organize auditions for trainees."

"Alright, tell Linda Yun to arrange a private jet for you. If you stay there for a few more days this time, I might go join you...to inspect a few computer manufacturers. My team is still on the island."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he shifted to a side-lying position, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV.

Having a spinal surgeon give him a massage was more scientific. Until the symptoms subsided, he didn't plan to leave the hospital anyway. It was his family's hospital, so not only would he not have to pay, but the expenses could also be covered by medical insurance, making some money for the hospital.

The young girl said:

"You're like this, and you can still come join me? I think you should forget it. I'll be back in four or five days at most. The audition process should be quick. If I can't find suitable candidates, I'll stay a few more days and ask my mom to go back to worship our ancestors with me."

...

They had already arranged to go out today.

Seeing that Su Yehao was okay, Nangong Tian continued her trip, going home to pack her things and head to the airport.

When Jiang Yu came to the hospital after her shift, Grandpa Tang was visiting his grandson in the ward, grumbling, "When I was young, I played two soccer games a day, and nothing ever happened. You usually don't exercise enough. How can you do anything without a good body at your age?"

Su Yehao was speechless. He couldn't possibly tell them that he had gotten a little hot-headed last night and that he not only didn't regret it but was also filled with happiness, could he?

Seeing Jiang Yu hiding to the side, he immediately saw her as a savior and called out, "What are you standing at the door for? Come in."

Jiang Yu had originally planned to come in after his grandfather left, but now her expression was slightly stiff as she greeted, "Grandpa, good morning..."

As soon as she said this, Su Yehao and Grandpa Tang looked at her with strange expressions.

Jiang Yu then realized that something was wrong, her face flushed instantly, and she quickly said, "No, no! Uncle Tang."

Grandpa Tang smiled happily and waved his hand dismissively, chuckling:

"You're the precious daughter of Jiang Shiye's family, right? I've seen you before. You've grown more and more beautiful. It's not wrong to call me Grandpa now. You didn't bring a gift today. Next time you come to my house for dinner, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."

Su Yehao made eye contact with his grandfather and unexpectedly understood the old man's thoughts—he was still hoping to have a great-grandson with the Tang surname as soon as possible.

The mansion in Big Wave Bay, as a bargaining chip in the deal between grandfather and grandson, had been lived in by Su Yehao for more than a year, but the child he promised Grandpa Tang had yet to materialize.

At the old man's age, and with his health not being too good, it was inevitable that he would be anxious.

Pretending not to know what his grandfather was thinking, Jiang Yu was still young. If he mentioned wanting children now, she would probably turn around and run away. It was indeed a little too early.

Not long after, Su Yehao's mother also came to visit.

The medical group's business was quite busy, as they were opening up chain pharmacies in the mainland, as well as the medical equipment and drug supply market. These were all huge opportunities. Once they occupied a portion of the market, it would be very beneficial for the Earl Medical Group, which had plans to go public.

Unlike Su Yehao, who was a hands-off manager, his mother liked to do things herself, and even the number of times the mother and son met had decreased recently.

With Old Madam Tang present, Jiang Yu's face was filled with nervousness. She probably watched too many soap operas and was afraid that she wouldn't do things well enough, and would end up being abused by her future mother-in-law.

It wasn't her fault for having such a rich imagination; similar examples were everywhere in Hong Kong and Casino.

Su Yehao's father had once said that he would be willing to give Zhao Yimeng a dowry of ten million Hong Kong dollars. Jiang Yu knew the Zhao family's background and didn't think she would have the same treatment, so of course, she had to be careful.

The family was chatting.

Suddenly, a senior hospital executive ran in and said that several "Ah Sirs" (Hong Kong police officers) were at the door and wanted to see Su Yehao.

Su Yehao was at a loss. At first, he wondered if he had done something wrong last night, but after thinking about it, he realized everything was normal. Surely even free love couldn't be illegal.

Old Madam Tang didn't ask what was wrong but stared at him directly, asking, "Do you want me to call a lawyer?"

Old Tang also said, "You little brat, are you hiding something from us? No wonder you hurt your back and ended up in the hospital. Who did you fight with?"

Jiang Yu was too embarrassed to show her face and remained silent.

She thought that it was indeed a fight, but the kind she had with them...

"I'm wronged. I don't know why the 'Ah Sirs' are looking for me. I don't even jaywalk and always go around to the crosswalk. How could I fight with anyone?"

Su Yehao carefully sat up, leaning against the soft cushion on the headboard, and then said, "No need to call a lawyer, right? Let's ask them what's going on first. Maybe it's just some new information about the last time someone targeted me..."

When the two "Ah Sirs" came in, Old Madam Tang frowned and asked what was going on.

One of them, who introduced himself as Jia Sir from the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau (OCTB), said, "We can't reveal too much about the specific situation, but Mr. Su, did you meet a man named Wu Weixiong yesterday?"

"Yes, he's a friend of my dad's son. I'm helping him come to Hong Kong for medical treatment. What's wrong?" Su Yehao asked curiously.

Jia Sir from the OCTB continued:

"Our informant discovered that he was looking for a heart on the black market. He was caught red-handed last night, with two million Hong Kong dollars and two scammers. They used a pig's heart pretending it was a human heart, and they also confessed that they were planning to have surgery at your hospital. Please explain what's going on."

"..."

"???"

Su Yehao was distracted, and he felt his back wasn't even hurting as much. He asked in surprise, "Are you saying that he came to Hong Kong to buy an organ, and he planned to have surgery at my family's hospital, and he was scammed, buying a pig's heart for two million Hong Kong dollars?"

"That's pretty much it."

He immediately guessed why Wu Weixiong didn't continue waiting in Italy and instead ran back to Hong Kong. He probably contacted them while he was still abroad; otherwise, how could he have been scammed the night after he landed yesterday?

Looking at the "Ah Sir" from the OCTB, Su Yehao explained: /

"Do you think I would have anything to do with such a stupid thing? We just met yesterday, for the first time. I only knew that Wu Weixiong had a bad heart. I didn't expect him to have such crooked thoughts, and it has nothing to do with my family's hospital. If you don't believe me, you can ask him, or ask my personal secretary, Linda Yun. She was there the whole time yesterday..."
