Chapter 907: I went to visit Xiao Long

Ten days later, Xiao Long could see people in the ICU.

I was the first to go in,

Xiao Long had already woken up, but he still couldn't speak.

His body had various tubes inserted.

A ventilator was placed in his mouth.

But his eyes could move.

Seeing me come in and stand before him,

Xiao Long's gaze was very lively,

He looked at me, blinking his eyes, meaning don't worry about him.

He's already better.

I softly said to Xiao Long, "Xiao Long, you're foolish. How could you go stop a car by yourself.

You should know your dad has changed."

After I said that, I glanced at Xiao Long's eyes,

Xiao Long indicated agreement with his eyes.

At that moment I took hold of Xiao Long's hand,

"Child, if something happened to you, how could I go on,

how could your mother go on, how could your grandmother go on, how could Fang Rui go on,

you have too many people behind you who worry about you.

Sigh, it's all my fault; I shouldn't have brought you to the provincial capital."

After I said that, I used Xiao Long's hand to wipe my tears.

Tears also flowed from Xiao Long's eyes.

I took a tissue and wiped Xiao Long.

"Xiao Long, I have good news: Fang Rui is pregnant.

Once you recover, we'll quickly hold the wedding.

so you can bring Fang Rui into the family."

Xiao Long forced a smile onto his face.

"Also, your dad shot and killed Yang Tao with a gun; he's already been arrested.

The money on those accounts has also been recovered.

Everything's fine now. Xiao Long, you need to recover well and get better quickly.

By then, our Xue County tourism project will need your full assistance."

At that moment Xiao Long closed his eyes,

I knew that hearing the news that Li Ming had beaten Yang Tao to death would also bring him bad thoughts, after all, father and son are of one heart.

I gripped Xiao Long's hand tightly,

"Later, we'll find the best lawyer to see if we can strive to keep your dad alive.

For now, that's all we can do."

At that moment Xiao Long's hand gripped mine tightly,

He opened his eyes and indicated agreement with his gaze.

I smiled at Xiao Long,

I didn't say anything else,

Time was tight; Fang Rui and He Qing still needed to see Xiao Long.

Let's leave the remaining time for them; they are Xiao Long's closest people.

I believe that when they see Xiao Long, they will all weep bitterly.

But fortunately, Xiao Long has pulled through this ordeal.

I came out of the ICU and happened to run into Zhu Sheng.

Zhu Sheng was discussing Xiao Long's condition with Director Zhou of the Provincial Hospital.

Zhu Sheng called me over,

"Jianqiang, Director Zhou said that Xiao Long's being rescued is truly fortunate."

I hurriedly said to Director Zhou, "Director Zhou, you've worked hard; I thank you on behalf of Xiao Long's family."

"Mr. Zhao, you're too polite; this time we managed to rescue Xiao Long mainly because he has great luck and fortune,

sigh, we were really just a bit short; his internal organs were too severely damaged.

Fortunately, experts from Sijiucheng came and performed the surgery themselves.

This is thanks to Zhu Sheng's connections." Director Zhou said to Zhu Sheng.

"Given what you said, Director Zhou, we should mainly thank you for your full cooperation and support.

"Xiao Long, how much longer until he fully recovers?" Zhu Sheng said politely.

"To fully recover, he also needs over two months, after all the damage is severe; his only advantage is his youth.

His body is very healthy,

if he weren't in good shape, he really couldn't hold up.

However, Xiao Long's internal organs are damaged; he probably can't do heavy physical work in the future.

From now on, he can mainly rest and recuperate.

After all, the burden on his body is too severe." Director Zhou said.

Director Zhou, as long as the person is rescued, we will be very grateful.

The person, we can slowly nurse him back to health.

Like this, let him stay in the hospital in the Provincial Capital all the time,

and let him stay until he fully recovers before discharge." I said directly to Director Zhou.

Mr. Zhao, I understand your feelings.

But this expense is not low.

The fees at the Provincial Capital hospital are high in this regard." Director Zhou said embarrassedly.

Money is no problem; I will send someone to give your hospital 500,000 yuan first, and if it's not enough we can supplement later." I said directly.

Oh dear, Mr. Zhao, this is embarrassing.

Let's not say anything else, Zhu Sheng; tonight I'll treat you to a meal, how about that?" Director Zhou said happily.

Director Zhou, you really don't treat guests without seeing money. Alright, let's talk about drinking later.

You go ahead and get busy. I have a few things to say to Jianqiang." Zhu Sheng shook hands with Director Zhou.

Director Zhou waved at me and left.

Jianqiang, as long as Xiao Long can be rescued, we will have relieved a major worry.

The situation at that time was truly very urgent.

Sigh, I really worried that Xiao Long might have an accident." Zhu Sheng sighed.

Yeah, Li Ming went in, and if Xiao Long has another accident, how can I explain to Qian Niang? I can only atone with my death." I said.

Zhu Sheng patted my shoulder and said: "I know you are a person who values sentiment and righteousness,

so I used many connections and invited all the experts that could be summoned in Sijiucheng.

Sigh, at least we managed to save his life.

Some things, Director Zhou didn't tell you: Xiao Long has had some organs replaced; the damage was too severe.

He needs to take medication for life.

Xiao Long may also have other sequelae.

This hospital really can't do anything more. So from now on, Xiao Long can only be cared for by you." Zhu Sheng said helplessly.

I nodded,

"Zhu Sheng, I understand that getting him rescued is already very difficult; fortunately, you are in the Provincial Capital and we can use resources. This deserves a proper thank you."

"What's there to thank me for, and why be polite? As long as the money is recovered, that's fine; otherwise I couldn't clear my name. After all, I took Yang Tao to Xianggang, and also came here to file for record. The money ended up flying away."

How am I to explain so much money?

Damn it, in my old age, my lifelong reputation is almost ruined by that woman Yang Tao.

That woman is too clever." Zhu Sheng laughed.

But cleverness aside, cleverness can be one's own downfall.

She died under Li Ming's gun.

Zhu Sheng, how should we speak of Li Ming's matter?" I asked Zhu Sheng while looking at him.

The case hasn't been closed yet; it involves many matters—the money issue, illegal gun possession, loss of life, and the involvement of an external money‑laundering company. It can't be settled quickly.

Li Ming's situation is his own doing; no one can protect him." Zhu Sheng said angrily.

When the case is closed, I want to hire a lawyer to see if we can save Li Ming's life." I said.

Let's talk about this later; I know your feelings, after all you and Li Ming have been brothers for many years.

That's understandable. But we should still try to handle the case according to law.

Let's wait for the superior's decision." Zhu Sheng said. Zhu Sheng's attitude was not to get too involved in Li Ming's affair.

Li Ming has already hurt Zhu Sheng's heart.

Zhu Sheng, I, Zhao Jianqiang, have never asked you for anything,

I want to ask you to see if you can think of a way to save Li Ming's life.

We have been brothers for decades, and this life is sought for Qian Niang's sake; after all, he is her only son." I pleaded softly to Zhu Sheng.

Jianqiang, some things we can only do our best.

You, you're too sentimental. Actually, Li Ming treats you like that, and he's teamed up with Yang Tao to scheme against you, and he even dealt a deadly blow to Xiao Long—what's the point in saving someone like that? Zhu Sheng still shook his head.

Zhu Sheng, how should I put it, I still say that, no matter how he treats me, that's his business.

How I treat him is my business.

As his older brother, I will do everything I can to save him. This is my responsibility. I said firmly.
