Chapter 899

Lin Dongfan finished listening to Huang Jinrong's heartfelt words, smiled modestly: "President Huang, it seems your injuries weren't in vain; at least they've brought you a hint of awareness."

Huang Jinrong wore an embarrassed smile, the flesh on his face trembling.

Thinking back to yesterday's brutal beating!

He also had to force a smile like a grandson: "It's only right, it's only right; although I haven't read much, I can't stand seeing honest people suffer; this world shouldn't lack justice."

"Well said."

Lin Dongfan nodded.

He added: "It's rare you have this awareness; then I'll accompany you to the hospital. I want to see you pay the medical fees myself, and I'll credit you for it."

"!!!"

This time Huang Jinrong truly forced himself to act like a grandson, his smile uglier than crying.

Huang Jinrong hesitated: "Now... now?"

"What, any problem?" Lin Dongfan stared straight into Huang Jinrong's eyes.

Huang Jinrong gave a grin: "No... no problem. Mainly you're busy with official duties; I'm afraid to waste your precious time..."

"Handling Su Yang's matter is also official business."

Lin Dongfan casually set the tone; Huang Jinrong immediately glumly shut his mouth, realizing he had to pay today whether he liked it or not.

Huang Jinrong turned and shouted at the two lackeys: "What are you standing there for? Get the car over, to the hospital!"

The two lackeys hastily released Su Qianqian.

Su Qianqian's legs went weak, she almost knelt; Chu Lingxi hurried forward to support her: "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, thank you, Teacher Chu."

In Su Qianqian's red eyes, tears still glistened.

At this moment Lin Dongfan approached: "Student Su, which hospital is your father in?"

"At the city hospital."

Su Qianqian lowered her head, embarrassedly wiping her tears.

Chu Lingxi quickly took out a pack of tissues from her bag and handed them to her, comforting her with a few words, telling her to relax, as the sky falling would have Mayor Lin backing her.

Soon, Huang Jinrong's lackey drove over the black business car.

Lin Dongfan ordered Lao Ba to first take his wife home; he himself then took Su Qianqian and got into Huang Jinrong's private business car together.

Don't ask why Grandpa Fan isn't afraid; Grandpa Fan can take on ten alone.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Huang Jinlu, his heart bleeding—damn, tens of thousands just gone like that! No, counting it up, it's more than tens of thousands lost.

Thinking of his brother still squatting in the detention center.

Thinking of the company's accounts being judicially frozen.

Thinking of his own head, which was once somewhat handsome, yesterday being beaten by Lin Dongfan into a pig's head.

Thinking of Zheng Congwen still waiting for a beauty to warm his bed, while he himself messed things up, staging a historical tragedy of losing his wife and losing troops.

Can't think further; the more he thinks, the more his heart hurts.

Even having a feeling of wanting to die from hopelessness, and vaguely able to comprehend the complex emotions of Chongzhen when he hanged himself on Coal Mountain; this is a terrifying thing.

I can't let myself think of suicide!

Huang Jinrong closed his eyes.

Leaning back in the chair, silently savoring the chicken soup for the soul he brewed for himself—"As long as the green mountains remain, there's no fear of lacking firewood!" As long as I don't break the law, the Lins can't do anything to me.

——

The inpatient department of the city hospital.

The laborer lying on the hospital bed—Su Yang, his complexion sallow, already emaciated beyond recognition. Seeing his daughter and two strange men enter, he struggled to sit up.

"Qianqian..."

"Dad, don't move."

Su Qianqian hurriedly flung herself to the bedside, her eyes welling up again. I don't know if it's because every liberal arts student's emotions are so full, they often have tears in their eyes.

Su Yang looked at Lin Dongfan and Huang Jinrong behind her: "They are..."

Huang Jinrong hastily made a self-introduction: "Brother Su, I'm a representative of Huang's Engineering Company; today I came specially to visit you. Rest easy and heal; you needn't worry about money—our company will settle it."

Su Yang stared: "You... you're willing to compensate me?"

"Although you're not our formal employee, we can't just watch you pray to heaven and earth with no answer."

This remark was obviously intended for Mayor Lin to hear.

After saying that, Huang Jinrong pulled out a bank card from his pocket and kindly shoved it into Su Yang's hand: "This card has 500,000; use it to get by for now. If it's not enough, just tell me anytime."

Su Yang gripped the bank card, looking at his daughter, his eyes full of question marks.

Su Qianqian also didn't know how to explain, she turned her head to look at Lin Dongfan.

Lin Dongfan stepped forward and said: "Master Su, I'm Mayor of Place Lin Dongfan. Regarding your injury at Cloud Peak Mountain Villa, the compensation you deserve will not be lacking a cent. For now, let President Huang front the money; later I'll have people follow up."

"Mayor... Mayor Lin..."

Upon realizing the person before him was the mayor, Su Yang's tears burst forth.

He tried to sit up, but Lin Dongfan pressed him down: "You're injured; rest and heal well. Other matters you needn't worry about; specialists will follow up."

"Thank you, Mayor Lin, I never expected... a leader as high as you would personally come see me, I..."

Su Yang was so moved he didn't know how to thank.

Lin Dongfan comforted him with a few more words; then the hospital leadership, hearing the commotion, rushed over. The ward, originally filled with the smell of disinfectant, suddenly gained a touch of human warmth.

Someone gave Su Yang a further examination, asking after his warmth and cold.

Someone was in charge of taking photos.

The hospital director personally reported Su Yang's condition to Mayor Lin.

And confidently assured Mayor Lin: "Please Mayor Lin rest assured, no matter how difficult this kidney transplant surgery is, we will definitely have the patient come in lying down and leave walking…"

This sudden enthusiastic care made the Su father and daughter feel as if they were dreaming.

It felt utterly unreal.

After the hospital leaders had left, the ward contained only Su Yang clutching a bank card and his daughter Su Qianqian.

Su Yang asked his daughter in surprise: "Did you invite the Mayor?"

"No, it was Mayor Lin who took the initiative to inquire about our family's affairs." To avoid worrying her father, Su Qianqian avoided mentioning her near‑kidnapping.

Su Yang sighed with mixed feelings: "This Mayor is a good person…"

"Mayor Lin is certainly a good person."

Recalling her father's injury and her own endless seeking, hitting walls everywhere, being kicked around like a ball, Su Qianqian felt that Mayor Lin was a ray of hope in her life.

Without this ray of hope, her life would be completely dark.

Thinking back, when she sought compensation from the Zhao Group, Zhao Tianyu wouldn't even see her! Later she sought compensation from the Huang Engineering Company, and Huang Jintang scolded her for being blind, saying she had the wrong person…

Why did those people dare to act lawlessly?

It's because they have someone powerful backing them!

Initially, she not only hated Zhao Tianyu and Huang Jintang et al. to the core, but also hated those buck‑passing bureaucrats to the marrow; even in her dreams she cursed their graves.

But she never expected this.

Not long after, this newly appointed mayor, who had only been in office a short while, unexpectedly took sudden action—first eliminating Zhao Tianyu, then subduing Huang Jintang! His move shocked the entire city…

Oh no!

This is the feeling of a racing heart.
