Chapter 7627
Be a Good Person
"Stop messing around, you're already a mummy!" Xiao Chen said, somewhat speechless, and stopped Zhang Ziren from getting up.
Seeing Zhang Ziren like this, he was both angry and amused. He was the one who had been cuckolded, but in the end, he ended up being beaten and hospitalized.
Miserable!
Standing there, Xiao Chen sighed: "You won't die, will you? What did the doctor say? Where are you injured?"
Although Xiao Chen's tone wasn't very polite, Zhang Ziren could hear the concern in it. He replied somewhat aggrievedly, "I'm injured all over, but both of my legs are crippled. They said it's a comminuted fracture. If it weren't for a kind person who brought me to the hospital, I would have been paralyzed. Now it's okay, I've had metal plates put in, and I estimate I'll need to rest for half a year."
"You didn't call the police?"
Xiao Chen asked with some curiosity.
Although Huang Buji had some status, he wasn't much of a figure in the provincial capital, and the police still dared to intervene.
After all, this is a huge matter. In broad daylight, someone deliberately injured another person, practically bullying a poor, honest man to death. It's simply unacceptable that they bear no responsibility whatsoever.
"I dare not report it!"
Zhang Ziren shook his head. "I have no relatives or friends in the provincial capital, and I have no backing. Even if I report it to the police, it won't be of much use. Besides, this matter needs to be investigated, and I don't know how long it will take. That Huang Buji threatened me, saying that if I dare to call the police, he would just throw me into the river to feed the turtles."
"You know I'm a coward. After being threatened like this, I don't dare to call the police. I really don't want to die. I've never done anything bad in my life. I've always been hardworking and honest. How can I possibly fight against those local bullies?"
Zhang Ziren's tone was heavy, filled with despair and helplessness.
If there were any other way, he wouldn't have been so cowardly.
After all, Zhang Ziren is just an ordinary person. He can't be as indifferent to everyone as Xiao Chen. This is probably the safest course of action.
Otherwise, Zhang Ziren might not be alive today.
"Isn't this bullying honest people?"
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth: "Tell me, what exactly does that Huang Buji do? Is he really that powerful? If you don't dare to deal with him, I'll do it for you."
"Don't tell me you don't even have this much courage. If that's the case, then I'm not going to bother with your mess anymore."
Zhang Ziren smiled wryly: "How could I, an ordinary citizen, know what kind of person that big boss is? I would like to tell you, but I can't find out."
"I've heard that their family seems to have some connections in the martial arts world. They have many friends in the provincial capital and employ quite a few martial artists. There are really very few people in the entire provincial capital who can afford to offend them..."
"That bitch Jiang Lanting is blinded by money and power. Sigh... What can I do? I have neither money nor power. What a loser..."
Hearing Zhang Ziren's words, Xiao Chen could only sigh and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he picked up his phone and made a call.
Instead of wasting time questioning Zhang Ziren here, it would be better to use your own resources to investigate.
"Tianyan, help me find out about a guy named Huang Buju. I need to know everything about him, including what kind of underwear he wears, how many women he associates with... Oh, and this kid seems to have connections with people in the martial arts world. Once you've found out, I can only give you ten minutes."
"Roger that!"
Without wasting any words, Di Tianyan hung up the phone and went to investigate. For the War God Alliance, investigating a nobody like Huang Buju was a piece of cake.
Xiao Chen put away his phone, looked at Zhang Ziren's pathetic appearance, and sighed again. You might say Zhang Ziren is incompetent, but he went to university, knows about antiques, and even ran his own business and made a lot of money.
You might say he's capable, but look at how pathetic he is. He's made at least four or five million over the years, but he gave it all to a woman who cheated on him.
How tragic! How lamentable!
At this moment, a nurse walked in from outside and reminded, "Patient, please pay your hospital fees quickly. Pay 50,000 yuan first, and we will refund any overpayment or collect any underpayment."
"You haven't paid your hospital bill yet?" Xiao Chen was stunned. Zhang Ziren was really living a pathetic life.
Zhang Ziren looked a little embarrassed: "A friend helped me pay 10,000 yuan... but I really don't have any more. My phone is gone. Huang Buju threw it into the river. I'm using the nurse's phone to call you..." "Alright, you're awake. Stop talking. I'll pay for it for you first."
Xiao Chen also had moments of helplessness. Seeing Zhang Ziren like this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. How come it's always the good people who suffer losses and get hurt?
This is really frustrating.
He took out a card and handed it to Zhang Ziren.
"There's exactly 100,000 yuan in this card. Use it to pay your hospital fees. Keep the rest for yourself for now. Pay me back when you're better and have the money."
Ten thousand yuan is nothing to him, but to Zhang Ziren, it's a lifeline. He believes that after this incident, Zhang Ziren will be even more heartbroken about his situation.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ziren, a grown man, couldn't help but burst into tears.
He couldn't hold back any longer, he really couldn't hold back.
His wife ran off with another man, who beat him severely. On the contrary, his ordinary friend Xiao Chen was willing to help him and even lent him 100,000 yuan.
This left him somewhat at a loss.
"me……"
Zhang Ziren was so crying that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence; he was truly overwhelmed with emotion.
"It's just a little money, nurse. Take it and pay the hospital fees first. Be nice to my brother."
Xiao Chen handed the bank card to the nurse, "Just swipe it, no PIN needed!"
The nurse took the card to pay.
Zhang Ziren cried even louder; this grown man was weeping uncontrollably, looking just like Lin Daiyu.
But he couldn't help it.
It wasn't because I felt wronged, but because I was so moved.
To be honest, after going through something like this, he even had suicidal thoughts, thinking, "What's the point of living? Even my wife ran off with someone else."
But now, he doesn't want to die. Xiao Chen gave him a ray of light in the darkest part of his life, and he wants to live well to repay Xiao Chen.
"Sigh...Alright, stop crying. I'll go buy you some things for the hospital and hire a caregiver to take care of your diet."
Before Zhang Ziren could refuse, Xiao Chen went out.
We should help honest people like this if we can. After all, there are fewer and fewer people like this in this era. I really can't imagine how twisted relationships will become when everyone in this world becomes as cunning as a devil.
Twenty minutes later, Xiao Chen returned.
A red plastic bag was filled to the brim.
Daily necessities, fruits, snacks, milk, and other items were all provided, and a new cell phone was also bought for Zhang Ziren.
When you're bored, scrolling through your phone can help relieve the boredom.
“The caregiver starts work tomorrow. You don’t need to worry about the money. You can pay me back later. I believe in your abilities. You were able to make money before, and without that woman to hold you back, you’ll be able to make even more money.”
"Hmm..." Zhang Ziren actually wanted to say a lot, and he really wanted to thank Xiao Chen, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't utter a single one. He was just too moved. (End of this chapter)
