Chapter 1810: Car accident
Humans die in the pursuit of wealth, birds die in the pursuit of food, how many such examples were there in the world? If he had not been greedy for more money, how would he have ended up with nothing?
āYoung man, you seem to have something on your mind?ā An old man walked to the bench beside Chu pengzhan and sat down. Although it was a little weird for him to call Chu pengzhan āyoung man,ā it wasnāt too much to call him young at his age.
āHehe ā¦ Itās nothing ā¦ā Pengzhan naturally didnāt want to talk about his pain to a stranger, so he only smiled faintly.
āIf thereās something on your mind and trouble you canāt solve, then go to hell ā¦ā The old man said to himself.
āGo to hell?ā Chu pengzhan was taken aback and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. He stood up abruptly and stumbled forward towards a van that was speeding by ā¦
With a loud bang, the van sent Chu pengzhanās body flying, and the screeching sound of the brakes followed ā¦
The old man stood up and left without even looking at pengzhan ā¦ He was the hypnotist in disguise!
The police car and ambulance arrived at the scene very quickly. The van driver did not run away. Instead, he looked down in fear and panic, squatting on the ground, not knowing what to do ā¦
The ambulance took Chu pengzhan away and rushed to the hospital. The police stayed behind to investigate the scene, but from the vanās dashcam, Chu pengzhan seemed to have committed suicide, crashing into the van of his own accord. At least that was what the video showed, but they couldnāt confirm whether he had the motive to commit suicide before they could identify the victim or the victim. They needed to investigate further to determine if the driver was responsible for the accident ā¦
However, the investigation results came out very quickly. Chu pengzhan, the former chairman of pengzhan industries, had recently failed in his investment in a business operation and lost everything. From this, it was clear that his motive for suicide was very clear ā¦
And according to the owner of a newspaper stand who witnessed the entire accident, Chu pengzhan did crash into the car on his own accord. He was sitting on a bench by the road, dejected. Then, an old man passed by and said a few words to Chu pengzhan. Chu pengzhan got up and crashed into the oncoming car as if he had gone crazy ā¦
The old man was suspicious-perhaps heād said something to provoke Chu pengzhan, or perhaps heād failed to persuade Chu pengzhan and triggered Chu pengzhanās rebellious mind, causing him to commit suicide-but the newsstand owner didnāt remember what the old man looked like. His attention was diverted by the car accident, and he didnāt see when the old man left ā¦
With the newspaper stand owner and the dashcam as witnesses, the van driver naturally didnāt have to take any responsibility. Pengzhan didnāt die on the spot, but he was sent to the hospitalās intensive care unit.
Chu Mengyao didnāt know about these things. She was just waiting for her fatherās call to come back, but there was no answer. She called her father again, but no one picked up. She called again, but no one picked up ā¦
Mengyao didnāt think much of it, assuming that pengzhan was in a meeting. She wanted to call him later, but elder Zhang appeared in the room again.
āWhat do you think?ā Elder Zhangās face was still the same smile, neither humble nor overbearing, but his words were very formal. Even if he was a Sky Class master, he treated every customer who came to trade or buy treasures with the same tone.
This was also the way of survival in the snowy valley. Even cultivators couldnāt go without food and water. They also needed money to buy other natural treasures for cultivation.
āElder Zhang, can we discuss this? we donāt have that much money on hand right now. Can you give us the ice Spirit Saint fruit for my friend to consume first, and then weāll gather the money?ā Tang Yun hesitated before begging with a sincere expression. āWeāll definitely gather the money, but we canāt do it too quickly. My friend wonāt be able to hold on for that long ā¦ā
āDear guests, our Snow Valley has always done business on the spot. We donāt accept credit, so Iām sorry, but please go back!ā Elder Zhang said indifferently.
āThis ā¦ Elder Zhang, please make an exception. We will really give you the money, but we canāt gather that much money in a short time. My friend, on the other hand, canāt wait any longer ā¦ā Tang Yun stood still and bowed deeply in front of elder Zhang.āElder Zhang, please make an exception!ā
āI understand your feelings, but in all these years, this kind of thing has happened many times. If we owe each time, wouldnāt we be breaking the rules?ā Elder Zhangās expression did not change at all.āāThereās no order without rules. Thereās no need to talk anymore. When youāve gathered enough money, you can come and buy the ice Spirit fruit at any time. Otherwise, thereās no need to talk.ā
āElder Zhang, I beg of you, can you please help me talk to the valley master? Iāll have to trouble you!ā Chu Mengyao was also panicking. She begged with Tang Yun,āāI beg you, elder Zhang. This is his only hope. If he misses it, Iām afraid ā¦ā
āForget it, then Iāll ask for you. But whether itās successful or not, itās still the valley masterās decision.ā Elder Zhang was a kind-hearted person. Looking at these ordinary people with no strength in front of him, who came to the snow Valley for a cultivator, he naturally admired them.
If Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and the others were cultivators, elder Zhang wouldnāt let them go. But they weren āt. Seeing them come all the way here, elder Zhang felt a little sympathy for them.
āMany thanks, elder Zhang!ā Tang Yunās eyes were filled with gratitude.
Elder Zhang nodded and left the guest room without saying anything else.
However, elder Zhangās reply disappointed Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and Shu. The valley master only replied with two words, no!
Elder Zhang said with some regret,āeveryone, this is the valley masterās intention. I have no choice. Please go back!ā
This was the snowy valley, after all-they made money from selling treasures. If it were the Ice Palace, Tang Yin and the others wouldnāt have been treated so well! To go to the Ice Palace to buy the fruit, let alone one billion, even if a normal person were to go, even if they were given two or ten billion, Rock Candy wouldnāt even be moved!
After all, the fire Spiritās fruit was an essential herb for the Ice Palace sectās practitioners to prevent Qi deviation. The ice Spiritās fruit, on the other hand, was only a precious herb to the valley, and had no use for them. (To be continued.)
