Chapter 744: A Belated Apology

Early the next morning, just as He Yuzhu stepped out of Liu Rusi's home, he felt that something was wrong.

Someone was following him.

He calmly activated his Scanning, and sure enough, two burly men were trailing him at a distance.

He Yuzhu's heart sank—these must be the people Huang Ying mentioned, the ones sent by Cheng Shao.

That they were tailing him this early meant they were well aware he had spent the night at Liu Rusi's place.

If he let this slide, it would inevitably bring great trouble to Liu Rusi.

He pondered a countermeasure while driving home.

Upon entering, Chen Xueru glanced at him, her tone not particularly pleasant: "Did you go to Zhang Shuying's place again? You didn't even call when you weren't coming home, leaving me so worried I didn't sleep well all night."

He Yuzhu knew she was jealous, so he shook his head and said, "Liu Rusi is back. She isn't leaving anymore and will be staying at the courtyard of the Liushi Trading Company. When you have time, come with me to meet her."

Chen Xueru nodded after hearing this: "Alright, I should go pay a visit to Sister Liu."

He Yuzhu cautioned: "Be careful at work lately. I don't know what kind of madness has gotten into Cheng Shao; he's been keeping an eye on everyone I know."

Chen Xueru huffed indignantly: "Zhuzi, I heard about Cheng Shao from Yushui; he is simply too lawless."

"Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad," He Yuzhu sighed.

For the next few days, He Yuzhu closed his doors to visitors.

He was about to meet Secretary Liu and intended to sort through everything he had seen and heard from the future—the potential pitfalls in the development of various fields like machinery, environmental protection, industry, and real estate—and attach some basic solutions.

Writing these things down was a favor to Secretary Liu. As for how the higher-ups formulated policies, that was not his business. But he felt he had an obligation to warn those making decisions not to commit major errors.

Time was tight, so he simply dove into the Time Cabin within his space to work.

He didn't step out for five full days—according to the flow of time in the Time Cabin, that was equivalent to fifty days in the outside world.

Once he had piled the organized manuscripts into a small mountain, totaling several million words, and had them categorized and bound, he headed straight for the First Reception House on Fuyou Jie.

On the way, he activated his Scanning and discovered that those two people were still following behind.

They had been guarding near his house for five days, quite persistent. Well, don't blame me today; I will definitely make you pay dearly.

When He Yuzhu handed the materials to Secretary Liu, the Secretary was completely stunned.

He picked up a volume on industry and flipped through a few pages, his expression changing drastically as he asked in surprise: "Zhuzi, in the future... does everyone really do so many things with mobile phones? Did you come up with all of this?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "Ever since you asked me to be your Consultant, I haven't been idle; I've been thinking and calculating. Especially regarding technology, I've calculated with Man Yatou that palm-sized mobile phones and computers as thin as cicada wings are a historical inevitability. Actually, I've been writing these contents for many years."

He Yuzhu spoke very calmly, which moved Secretary Liu, his eyes instantly turning red.

He picked up another stack of manuscripts regarding the real estate industry, flipped through them briefly, and grew more alarmed the more he read: "Do these private companies really dare to borrow so much money from banks? And end up leaving behind such a massive amount of bad debt..."

He Yuzhu smiled: "The scale of assets in the future will be incomparable to now, and money then will also be different from what it is now."

Secretary Liu took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "There's no need for me to discuss these things with you further; I'll just take them back to study. To be honest, I don't see as far as you do. Come, come with me to see someone today."

He Yuzhu asked who it was, but Secretary Liu only said he would know when the time came.

After getting in the car, the two headed toward Shichahai. Halfway there, He Yuzhu suddenly spoke up: "Leader, something is wrong; there is a car following us."

Secretary Liu gestured to a car beside them, and it quickly pulled closer. He whispered a few instructions.

He Yuzhu knew what was happening—Cheng Shao was likely in for a disaster this time.

The two arrived at Liu Rusi's residence. He Yuzhu scanned the area and found two people hiding in a car near her home as well.

He continued: "Leader, I can sense a car in the alley next to us with two people inside also keeping watch. Who are these people? Liu Rusi hasn't been back for long."

Secretary Liu's face darkened, and he became instantly enraged: "How bold." He called over an attendant, gave a few low instructions, and the person left quickly.

He Yuzhu accompanied Secretary Liu into Liu Rusi's living room.

Upon seeing them arrive together, Liu Rusi was astonished: "You... why have you come?"

Secretary Liu said: "I have come to apologize to you both. It has been decades, and I must clarify this matter to your faces."

He Yuzhu roughly guessed what it was about and waved his hand: "Hey, the past is in the past."

Secretary Liu was firm: "I won't hide it from you; Miss Liu's departure back then had to do with me. I spoke with her; it was I... who did not want her to stay on the Mainland."

Liu Rusi lowered her head and said nothing.

He Yuzhu pondered for a long time before speaking slowly: "Perhaps... this is fate."

He did not blame Secretary Liu.

The situation at the time was just like that—Liu Rusi's background was too complicated; if she had stayed here, not only would she have suffered, but He Yuzhu's family likely wouldn't have had an easy life either.

Secretary Liu looked at the two, his tone deepening: "You two have made significant contributions to the country, yet we did not give you the corresponding treatment and honor... I am sorry."

He stood where he was and bowed deeply.

He Yuzhu and Liu Rusi hurriedly reached out to help him up.

Through the connections of Boss Li, Cheng Shao finally managed to book an appointment at the hospital where Lin Wanning worked.

He also borrowed Boss Li's private jet and flew all the way to Hong Kong.

When he finally sat in the consultation room, he discovered that the doctor seeing him was a woman, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

However, seeing the steady and capable aura Lin Wanning possessed, he still couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, I know you must have seen some of my medical records... do you think there is any possibility of curing my condition?"

Lin Wanning nodded, her tone calm and gentle: "You were introduced by Boss Li; he is our old client, and the hospital will certainly do its utmost to treat you. However, before treatment, you must undergo a series of examinations. You don't need to worry; just rest well in the ward, and someone will take you to every examination."

Cheng Shao still felt a bit uneasy after hearing this. But once he saw the hospital's equipment with his own eyes, he finally felt much more at ease.

A day later, the results of all the examinations were out.

Lin Wanning met him in her office as he sat in a wheelchair, studying the films for a long time before saying: "Mr. Cheng, your situation is indeed quite troublesome; the kidney damage is not light... I can help you resolve the urinary incontinence problem quickly. But the quality of your marital life in the future may be somewhat inferior."

Cheng Shao became anxious immediately: "Doctor, I'm only in my thirties, and I don't have children yet!"

Lin Wanning sighed: "You were injured quite severely this time... it is not a complete loss of function, but even with the best recovery, it will not return to how it was before. I will treat you using a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Rest assured, in the field of reproductive medicine, our hospital is the most authoritative in Hong Kong, and I am considered one of the most authoritative Experts; there are not many in the world better than me."

Hearing Lin Wanning's confidence, Cheng Shao's mood eased slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Then I leave it to you, Dr. Lin."
