Chen Yong shook his head and said, "No."
Ever since Shen Dongshan went on a business trip yesterday, Chen Yong hadn't received any instructions from him. It seemed like Shen Dongshan had forgotten about the matter.
"That's good. I'll deal with him when he returns," Wang Chao said coldly.
Shen Dongshan wanted to poison him, so he was his enemy!
Such a person must not be let off!
Chen Yong looked at Wang Chao, wanting to say something but hesitating.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to say?" Wang Chao asked in confusion.
After biting his lip, Chen Yong gathered his courage and said, "Brother Wang, my wife is sick. Can you lend me some money?"
"You again?" Wang Chao (￣ェ￣;)
"Brother Wang, I'm not joking this time, nor testing you. My wife is really ill. We just found out yesterday that she has leukemia!"
Chen Yong's eyes turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "The doctor said her condition is severe. She needs to undergo chemotherapy while waiting for a bone marrow transplant. The expenses will be at least three hundred thousand."
"And that doesn't even include the various post-transplant treatments."
"Brother Wang, I... I'm not lying. I brought all the medical documents."
Finishing his words, Chen Yong took out various medical test reports that he had prepared in advance from his pocket.
Wang Chao took them and looked.
Sure enough, all the test results pointed to one disease: leukemia!
And it was approaching the critical phase!
"Brother Wang, I'm truly in a bind. Just the monthly medication for this illness costs several thousand. My child's education expenses are also several thousand. On top of that, there are monthly mortgage payments and living expenses. The minimum amount I need to spend every month is over twenty thousand."
With teary eyes, Chen Yong's tears swirled in his eyes. Then, with a loud slap, he fiercely slapped himself, cursing, "I'm just a beast, a jinx! Why did I speak about illness when there was nothing wrong?"
"It's all my fault!"
"If I hadn't spoken nonsense, my wife wouldn't have gotten this illness."
He had used the excuse of his wife's illness to test Wang Chao last time, but he hadn't expected it to come true today.
At this moment, he really wanted to kill himself!
Speaking nonsense, good things don't come true, but bad things do.
Thinking of how severe his wife's illness had become while he remained unaware, intense guilt and sorrow overwhelmed him.
As a grown man, he sat in front of Wang Chao and cried, crying so sadly that the tears couldn't be stopped.
Wang Chao looked at him, unsure of what to say.
When he had beaten Chen Yong before, he hadn't seen Chen Yong cry like this.
Now that his wife was sick, Chen Yong cried like a child, showing that Chen Yong's nature wasn't bad.
He pushed a tissue towards Chen Yong, sighed, and said, "Don't say that. Your wife's illness has nothing to do with your jinx."
"If her condition has reached this stage, it means she had it a long time ago, but just didn't tell you."
"Also, pay attention to your home environment. It's best to buy some radiation detectors to check. Suddenly getting leukemia could be due to exposure to some radiation."
"For example, the marble construction of your bathroom sink. Some stones have strong radiation, which can lead to illness."
"Stones?" Chen Yong's expression changed at the mention of it
Three months ago, his wife complained that the wooden furniture in their home was not convenient to use, so she replaced it with a marble dining table and dressing table, claiming that it would provide warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and it would also retain its value.
Could it be that these stones caused his wife's illness?
"There are many factors that contribute to leukemia, I just mentioned one possibility," explained Wang Chao.
Then, he took out his phone, made some arrangements, and said, "Alright, I have transferred 400,000 yuan to your bank account. It should be enough for your wife's treatment."
"If it's not enough, let me know."
Chen Yong was taken aback, quickly opened his phone, and indeed saw the transfer record.
Touched, he immediately knelt down on the ground and tearfully thanked Wang Chao, saying, "Thank you, Brother Wang. I will always bear in mind your great kindness. I will do anything to repay your favor."
Last night, when he learned how severe his wife's leukemia was, he borrowed money from all his relatives and friends, but could only manage to get 50,000 yuan.
Wang Chao, who had no blood relation to him, lent him 400,000 yuan all at once. How could he not be grateful?
"Alright, we're colleagues, no need to kneel like that."
Wang Chao smiled, helped Chen Yong up, and then wrote down a prescription, handing it to him, saying, "This's a prescription for treating leukemia with traditional Chinese medicine. Boil four bowls of water into one bowl, three times a day. It will help with your wife's condition."
"Thank you, Brother Wang. From now on..." Chen Yong was once again moved and wanted to make a vow.
"Enough with the vows. I trust you, that's all that matters."
Wang Chao stopped him from speaking further, brewed a cup of tea for him, and said, "We're all adults, life is not easy for any of us. I understand."
"I'll give you a day off. Go back and take care of your wife, pay the hospital bills, and come back to work tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Wang, thank you!"
Grateful and serious, Chen Yong bowed to Wang Chao and expressed his thanks, then quickly turned and left, heading to the hospital to visit his wife, soon disappearing without a trace.
Watching him leave, Wang Chao sighed, "Men at this age have responsibilities to both their elderly parents and young children. It's so difficult for them to get sick themselves."
At this moment, he felt even more grateful to his master.
If it weren't for his master saving him and teaching him powerful skills such as martial arts, medicine, marksmanship, and more, he would probably be worse off than Chen Yong and unable to bring happiness to his family.
With these thoughts, he immediately called his master, wanting to check on how he was doing and ask about any missions.
However, his master's phone was unexpectedly unreachable.
Helpless, Wang Chao had to give up contacting his master.
It occurred to him that his master had a habit of being the only one who could initiate contact.
Unless there was something urgent, no one could reach that mysterious old man.
"Hey, Wang Chao, why did you suddenly move?"
Just as Wang Chao put down his phone, ready to focus on work, Liu Yifei suddenly pushed open the door to his office, looking reproachful. "My brother went to find you this morning but could not locate you."
"You did not even bother to inform me when you moved? I wanted to celebrate with you. Do you not consider
me a friend?"
"Something came up last night, and I had to move in a hurry. I haven't had the chance to notify friends and family yet. Do not worry, when I have a housewarming, I'll make sure to inform you!" Wang Chao responded.
"That sounds about right."
Liu Yifei brought over a chair and sat virtually impossible Wang Chao, placing a parchment scroll and a translated prescription in front of him, saying, "I suppose you have some free time now?"
"Our department just decoded the ancient text of this prescription. Here, help me take a look at how the medicinal ingredients should be combined."
