"Mr. Li, someone paid your daughterâs bill today and left a note."
Li Yun was stunned. Someone paid his daughterâs bill?
Could it be one of his daughterâs classmates?
After looking at the contents of the note, Li Yun was certain it wasnât a classmate.
Because the note contained only one sentence.
[Donât forget our agreement. Come work at my company after graduation.]
The next second, upon hearing the nurse say that the person had paid a million, Li Yunâs eyes widened.
At this moment, Li Yunâs heart was filled with various emotions.
Gratitude, excitement, fear.
Yes, Li Yun felt a bit scared.
A million, itâs not just ten thousand.
The person is clearly targeting his daughter.
With an uneasy heart, Li Yun returned to his daughterâs hospital room, looked at her in bed, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately handed the crumpled note to his daughter.
"Dad, whatâs this?" Li Xuanyu asked in confusion.
"Take a look yourself."
[Donât forget our agreement. Come work at my company after graduation.]
Itâs Mo Jingchun!
With a look of astonishment, Li Xuanyu looked up at her father and asked:
"Dad, who gave you this note?"
"The nurse."
"The nurse also said this person paid your one-million medical bill."
Li Yun wanted to tell his daughter they couldnât accept such money, but his daughterâs illness urgently needed the money.
He could only blame himself for his inadequacies.
Without another word, Li Xuanyu directly called Mo Jingchun.
As soon as the call connected, Mo Jingchunâs voice came through.
"You found out?"
"Thatâs your four yearsâ salary, hmm... not including the year-end bonus."
"Donât forget to come to the company after graduation, or Iâll have to dock your year-end bonus."
Listening to Mo Jingchunâs laughter over the phone, Li Xuanyu found herself at a loss for words.
"Oh, by the way, I talked to your mom. Not sure if she mentioned it to you."
"Iâll see if I can arrange for you to undergo proton heavy ion therapy."
"Thatâs the treatment for late-stage cancer with a cure rate of over 90 percent."
In that moment, words failed to convey the emotions swirling inside Li Xuanyu.
In the end, only two words sufficed.
"Thank you."
With hope for survival, and a good chance at that, how could Li Xuanyu wish for death?
In the hotel, Mo Jingchun chuckled over the phone to Li Xuanyu and said:
"Hey! No need to thank me."
"The million is just an advance on your salary."
"All I did was arrange for you to get proton heavy ion therapy."
"And even that, thereâs really nothing to thank for. Back in school, if it werenât for your help, I donât know how I would have managed with my little sister."
"Alright, alright, enough of that. The little one is clamoring for the phone."
"Hmm, alright."
On the hospital bed, Li Xuanyu took a deep breath and looked helplessly at her parents sitting nearby.
"Dad, Mom, heâs my classmate, the guy who came today with the child."
Upon hearing this, Li Yun and his wife felt even more conflicted.
The guy already has a child...
Seeing the change in her parentsâ expressions, Li Xuanyu couldnât help but laugh and cry.
"Dad, Mom, what are you thinking? Thatâs the sister."
"Heâs the Mo Jingchun Iâve often talked about, and that child is the little one I used to take care of during my freshman and sophomore years."
"Heâs a big boss now. How could he be interested in your daughter?"
-----------------------------
At night, the little one finally grew tired and wanted to sleep.
Just as Mo Jingchun was about to bring the little one to bed, Zero called out to him.
"Boss, put on your Bluetooth headset."
Though puzzled, Zeroâs core rule was to prioritize him.
Clearly, Zero had reasons for not mentioning it in front of Candy.
Cautiously, Mo Jingchun left the bed, took his phone and Bluetooth headset, and went into the bathroom.
In the bathroom, after closing the door, Mo Jingchun put on the Bluetooth headset and turned on the faucet.
"Zero, go ahead."
Unlike Zeroâs usual playful tone, this time Zeroâs voice was very serious.
"Boss, I just intercepted some information and sent it to your phone."
After reading the information, Mo Jingchun felt a wave of fear followed by intense anger.
These people were lunatics.
They were planning to make a move on the plane against him and Candy.
If it werenât for Zero, he would have surely boarded the flight from Jing City to Luzhou with his sister tomorrow.
Regarding the leak of his travel information and the fact that someone could track his flight and seat details, Mo Jingchun wasnât surprised at all.
After all, a national intelligence agency isnât just there for show.
After the anger, Mo Jingchun calmed down and realized that anger alone was useless.
Flying was out of the question.
He would have to travel by high-speed rail.
"Zero, donât cancel the flight tickets."
"Help me book the earliest high-speed rail tickets for tomorrow, and also ensure that the high-speed rail ticket information is hidden."
"Okay, boss."
Today, Mo Jingchun realized why those big bosses always travel with bodyguards.
Itâs not just for show; itâs truly for safety.
At this point, Mo Jingchun was wide awake.
Looking at Qin Yuzhuâs phone number, he figured she was still awake.
Without hesitation, Mo Jingchun dialed her number.
The phone rang only once before it was answered.
"Youâre calling me?"
"Yes, I have two matters to discuss with you."
On the other end, Qin Yuzhu, who was just about to call Mo Jingchun herself, was not expecting him to be the one calling her first.
Little did she know Mo Jingchun was calling for business.
And for two matters, no less.
"You go first."
"You have something to talk about too?" Mo Jingchun picked up on it.
"Yes, I was about to call you, but you beat me to it."
"Youâre not to fly back to the company tomorrow. I booked you two tickets for the 8:36 high-speed rail. Just swipe your ID to get in."
Qin Yuzhu didnât elaborate further, but Mo Jingchun knew that the authorities had intercepted the same information.
"Alright."
Qin Yuzhu asked in surprise:
"Arenât you going to ask why?"
"No need. If youâre doing it, there must be a reason."
Not asking saves the trouble.
"Letâs hear your two matters then. Let me make it clear, Iâm not up for troublesome tasks."
On the other end, Mo Jingchun turned off the faucet.
Silence fell on both sides of the phone.
"I have a classmate with mid-stage stomach cancer. I want her to undergo proton heavy ion therapy."
In her brightly lit office, Qin Yuzhu frowned slightly.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yuzhu said, "You owe me a favor."
"Done!"
"Whatâs your other matter?"
In the bathroom, looking at his reflection, Mo Jingchun said calmly:
"Iâm planning to hire ten to fifteen bodyguards, offering good salaries."
"Retired special forces preferred."
