Just as Ou Yunchen was about to export the recording, he felt someone approach him from behind. Instinctively, he raised his hand to block, and then...
Something pricked his arm. He quickly pulled it out, only to discover it was an auto-injecting syringe.
Ou Yunchen: "What is this?"
Tong Zhe kai: "Good, good stuff..."
Ou Yunchen quickly stood up. He was about to throw a punch at Tong Zhe kai when he felt his arm go completely weak.
Tong Zhe kai: "Don't, don't move, the effect will be faster."
Ou Yunchen ignored him and kicked Tong Zhe kai. Tong Zhe kai crashed into the tea table behind him and seemed to have passed out.
Ou Yunchen couldn't hold on either. His vision became increasingly blurry, and he too lost consciousness.
When Ou Yunchen woke up, he was tied to a chair, unable to move.
Tong Zhe kai: "You, you're awake?"
Ou Yunchen: "Are you sick!"
Tong Zhe kai: "Yes, yes, I'm sick. The doctor said I can't be cured..."
Tong Zhe kai picked up a pill pack. He didn't know the correct dosage, but he squeezed out a large handful and popped them all into his mouth.
Ou Yunchen: "If you want to die, don't do it in front of me!"
Tong Zhe kai: "Let me try. The doctor said I have a psychological disorder, and it's because you scared me."
Ou Yunchen: "Then go see a doctor! Stay away from me!"
Tong Zhe kai: "The person who tied the bell must untie it."
Ou Yunchen: "You want me to cure you?"
Tong Zhe kai: "Yes, medicine doesn't work for me anymore..."
Ou Yunchen: "Fine, untie me, and I'll give you an experience."
Tong Zhe kai walked hesitantly towards Ou Yunchen.
Ou Yunchen: "Come closer! I'll tell you how to feel better!"
Tong Zhe kai brought his ear close to Ou Yunchen's mouth. At first, Ou Yunchen pretended to cooperate, exhaling softly.
When Ou Yunchen managed to untie the ropes behind him...
Tong Zhe kai let out a scream. He lay on the ground clutching his bloody ears, writhing in pain.
Ou Yunchen: "Aren't you useless? Then today I'll completely finish off your useless self!"
With that, Ou Yunchen grabbed a sharp knife from the kitchen and plunged it towards Tong Zhe kai's lower body.
Tong Zhe kai was so terrified he almost wet himself. He watched as the knife landed precisely on the carpet. If it had gone any higher, he would have been truly ruined...
Tong Zhe kai glanced at Ou Yunchen, and then fainted again...
At this moment, Ou Yunchen's file export was successful. Although he hoped never to see Tong Zhe kai again, he still called Tong Li.
Hopefully, that scumbag's mother could cure his illness...
***
With the surveillance footage in hand, Ou Yunchen was in a great mood. He handed the recording to Sister Hong to continue tracing the origin of the vehicles in the video and then headed to the sanatorium to have a drink with Z.
Z's bandages were diminishing, and he could move more freely now.
Ou Yunchen took a few long gulps of beer and let out a satisfied burp.
Z: "Brother, we haven't sat down to drink like this in a long time."
Ou Yunchen instinctively wanted to pat Z's head hard as he used to, but seeing Z's pathetic look, he restrained himself and instead playfully nudged him with his fist.
Ou Yunchen: "Yeah, we always had a drink on the rooftop after coming back from a mission."
Z: "Brother, am I your best friend?"
Ou Yunchen turned to look at Z. Seeing the curiosity and longing in Z's eyes, he could only nod.
Z: "Really? I always thought Axe was your best friend."
Ou Yunchen's tone turned cold again.
Ou Yunchen: "He will never be my friend."
Z: "Brother, why didn't you visit me the other day?"
Ou Yunchen: "Who do you think you are, sleeping until noon every day? I had to make money to pay your medical bills!"
Z scratched his head sheepishly and then raised his beer can.
Z: "Brother, thank you. When I recover, I'll work for you. I can do a lot of things."
Ou Yunchen smiled and clinked cans with him. He didn't really need Z's help!
As they were drinking enthusiastically, a familiar voice echoed from the rooftop!
Yang Dan zhou: "What are you two doing!!! Get down here immediately!!! It's dangerous to sit there!!! What if you fall off!!!"
Ou Yunchen: "Aren't you on a business trip?"
Ou Yunchen was startled by Yang Dan zhou, who was rushing towards them!
Ren Xiao guang had said she flew out of the country right after class, so how could she suddenly appear at the sanatorium? Was he drunk and hallucinating?!
Yang Dan zhou reached them and grabbed each of them by the arm, pulling them away from the edge of the rooftop.
Only then did Ou Yunchen confirm that the woman was not a hallucination; it was indeed Yang Dan zhou!
Yang Dan zhou: "How could you sit on a place like this! If I hadn't seen you from below, you would have scared me to death!"
Z quickly hid his beer can behind his back.
Yang Dan zhou: "Good! You're letting him drink!!!"
Z: "No, no..."
Yang Dan zhou: "Still denying it! I can smell it!!!"
Z seemed very afraid of Yang Dan zhou. Perhaps because he had seen her frequently for check-ups during his recovery, he had naturally come to see her as a doctor.
Yang Dan zhou: "Take it out!!!"
Z: "Brother, help me..."
Yang Dan zhou snatched Z's beer and shook it.
Yang Dan zhou: "Don't you know you're still in treatment? Speak, how much have you drunk?"
Z: "Just a sip..."
Yang Dan zhou: "Really?"
Ou Yunchen: "A sip of seven or eight cans."
Ou Yunchen chuckled and kicked a pile of empty cans at his feet. They had been drinking while talking, and it was impossible to tell who had drunk more.
Yang Dan zhou: "Mr. Ou, if you want to drink, drink yourself. Don't let a child drink with you."
Ou Yunchen looked at Z. He wasn't a child, he just loved to play innocent.
Otherwise, why would his adopted son have always bullied him, yet also pitied him, treating him like the child who needed the most care.
Ou Yunchen: "Seriously, why aren't you on a business trip?"
Yang Dan zhou: "Why would I be on a business trip? It's you, who didn't drink enough at the Wang family's, coming here to drink?"
Ou Yunchen: "Ren Xiao guang said you were on a business trip, so she took me to meet a friend."
Yang Dan zhou: "She didn't tell me. I came straight back after class."
Ou Yunchen patted Z's shoulder, intending to send him back to his room.
After they both returned from the room, Ou Yunchen discussed the Wang family's demands with Yang Dan zhou.
Yang Dan zhou: "It's exactly the same as back then."
Ou Yunchen: "Yan Shi zong mentioned your father, Yang Li."
Yang Dan zhou: "Didn't I tell you that our pharmaceutical company tried? I meant my father had approached President Wang."
Ou Yunchen: "So your father also refused to give the patent to President Wang, right?"
Yang Dan zhou: "Do you know we weren't the only pharmaceutical company that received such a request?"
"Back then, many pharmaceutical companies wanted to get into medical insurance. Some companies, eager to recoup their funds quickly, were actually forced to give their patents to the Wang family!!!"
Ou Yunchen sighed. True darkness didn't come from the killing of adopted sons, but from the inevitable injustice that arose from the pursuit of profit.
Yang Dan zhou's voice grew more agitated as she spoke, as if she would never forgive the Wang family for their actions.
Yang Dan zhou: "So, don't try to persuade me anymore. I will not give the patent to the Wang family."
Ou Yunchen: "I'm not here to persuade you. Perhaps we can find another way to get into medical insurance."
Yang Dan zhou: "As long as the Wang family exists, I will not compromise!"
Ou Yunchen softly hummed. He also wished for the Wang family's downfall, wondering when retribution would finally come...
