"Nothing much, just some old matters." Liu Zhihao said vaguely, "If nothing unexpected happens, I think this matter will soon be cleared up."

"Is that so? That's great, Liu Zhihao, be careful, don't let those people hurt you." Wang Jianhua said with concern.

"Thank you, Uncle, I will." Liu Zhihao said, "Then I'll go back first, please take care of Liu Zhilong for me."

"Alright, go ahead! Don't worry about Liu Zhilong here." Wang Jianhua said.

Liu Zhihao got up, bid farewell, and left the farm, taking a car back to the city. It was already late at night. Liu Zhihao took a taxi to the hospital. He pushed open the ward door. Liu Xueting was sitting by the bedside guarding Liu Zhilong. Seeing Liu Zhihao return, the two immediately rushed over.

"How is it? Did Big Brother say anything?" Liu Zhilong asked anxiously.

"Nothing, he just asked me to take good care of Liu Zhilong." Liu Zhihao replied.

"Did Big Brother say anything else?" Liu Xueting pressed.

"No." Liu Zhihao shook his head.

Liu Xueting's face full of worry made Liu Zhihao feel a bit reluctant; he spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, my Big Brother is not the Big Brother of before; he has changed a lot."

"But he is still my Big Brother!" Liu Xueting said with eyes brimming with tears, "I don't care what form he turns into; he will always be my Big Brother."

"That's right, he will always be our Big Brother." Liu Zhilong also chimed in, "But I am still very worried about him."

"Yes, I am also very worried about him." Liu Zhihao also said, "But all we can do now is wait."

The three silently guarded the ward; no one spoke again. Time passed minute by minute, and before they knew it, dawn had broken. With the sky fully bright, a sound of footsteps echoed in the hospital corridor.

A group of police officers in uniform walked over. At the very front was an old man, appearing to be in his sixties, with temples streaked with white and a face full of wrinkles. Behind him followed several people, one of whom was the police team captain, Meng Qinggong.

The group stopped in front of the ward. The old man pushed open the door and walked in. Meng Qinggong and his subordinates guarded the doorway and did not enter. The old man stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hospital bed, looking Liu Zhilong up and down, and said, "Are you Liu Zhilong?"

Hearing the voice, Liu Zhilong immediately sat up on the bed. He said, "I am Liu Zhilong." "I heard you acted bravely yesterday and were injured. How is your condition?" the old man asked.

"Thanks to these friends for helping, otherwise I would have lost my life." Liu Zhilong pointed to Liu Xueting and Liu Zhihao beside him and said, "But now there is no major problem; I just need to rest for a few more days."

"That's good." The old man nodded. "Since you are fine now, then you can be discharged first!"

"What? Discharged?" Liu Xueting asked in surprise, "But his injuries are not fully healed yet!"

"Don't worry, it's fine now." The old man smiled, then turned to Meng Qinggong and said, "Captain Meng, send someone to follow them; report to me if anything is needed."

"Alright." Meng Qinggong agreed.

The old man said to Liu Zhilong again, "If you need any help, you can come find me anytime."

"Thank you, Mr., I will certainly not forget your kindness." Liu Zhilong said gratefully.

"My name is Chu Tianhe; just call me Uncle Chu." The old man smiled.

"Uncle Chu, my name is Liu Zhilong, this is my sister Liu Xueting, and this is my brother Liu Zhihao." Liu Zhilong introduced them one by one.

"Very good, you are all good children." Chu Tianhe said with emotion. "Liu Zhilong, what do you plan to do after being discharged?"

"I want to find a job, then work hard with Liu Xueting to improve our current life." Liu Zhilong replied.

"Not bad, you have ambition." Chu Tianhe nodded. "How about this? I have a friend who is a human resources manager at a large enterprise. I'll give him a call and have him arrange a position for you."

"How can I accept this?" Liu Zhilong said with some surprise, "Uncle Chu, I..."

"There is no need to be embarrassed." Chu Tianhe waved his hand, interrupting him. "You are a young person; this is the time to strive. If you worry about making a living all day long, what mood will you have to strive?"

"Uncle Chu, you are truly too kind." Liu Xueting said happily.

"Alright, you rest first; I'll go out and make a phone call." After Chu Tianhe finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the ward.

Watching Chu Tianhe's departing back, all three of Liu Zhilong felt immense gratitude. They did not know Chu Tianhe's identity, nor did they know why he was so good to them. They only knew they must repay this favor. In the following days, the three of Liu Zhilong received meticulous care in the hospital. Chu Tianhe came to visit them every day, bringing various nutritional products, and told them stories of his own experiences when he was young to encourage them. With Chu Tianhe's help, Liu Zhilong got an opportunity to work at a large enterprise, and he prepared to start his new life with full confidence.

However, Zhang Yulan did not give up. Learning that Liu Zhilong was not dead and had received Chu Tianhe's help, she decided to take more extreme measures to retaliate against them. She hired a gang to assassinate Liu Zhilong.

One night, Liu Zhihao received a mysterious phone call. The person on the line claimed they had found Liu Zhilong's hiding place; as long as they paid, they were willing to help them get rid of Liu Zhilong. Liu Zhihao was terrified. He immediately notified Liu Zhilong and Liu Xueting to move out of their current residence temporarily, while he stayed behind to observe the situation.

Liu Zhilong and Liu Xueting moved to a remote place and settled down temporarily. They did not know if the gang members had discovered their whereabouts; every day they lived in constant fear.

A few days later, Liu Zhihao called to tell them he had discovered the gang's plan; they were preparing to assassinate them that night. Liu Zhihao told them to be prepared, while he would try to notify the police.

However, on the day the plan was to be executed, an accident occurred. On his way to the police station, Liu Zhihao was stopped by subordinates sent by Zhang Yulan. They knocked Liu Zhihao unconscious and threw him into a desolate place.

Just as Liu Zhihao lay unconscious, Zhang Yulan's subordinates found the hiding place of Liu Zhilong and Liu Xueting. Just as they were about to act against the two, Chu Tianhe arrived with Meng Qinggong and a squad of police officers. It turned out that Chu Tianhe had long suspected Zhang Yulan would take action, so he had been secretly protecting them.
