Chapter 652: 647 The old man hit someone!

Originally, Gu Chen hadn’t felt there was anything amiss.

But this sudden outburst of crying from the woman left him a bit at a loss.

They were just talking, why did it lead to tears?

"It’s no big deal, I just did something many people would do," Gu Chen hurriedly said.

He certainly hadn’t planned on taking credit for himself.

However, the woman directly said, "No! It’s precisely because of your help that my father was able to be rushed to the hospital in time."

This woman was very emotional, which was easy to discern from her words and behavior.

Just then, the man in the white shirt also came over.

After looking at Gu Chen, he began, "Hello, are you Mr. Gu?"

"I really want to thank you for yesterday."

As he spoke, he took out a small envelope.

"This contains the medical expenses you advanced, and the extra two thousand yuan is a small token of our gratitude for your help," he said to Gu Chen, obviously intending to express his thanks.

If it were a normal thank you, that would have been the end of it.

Gu Chen wouldn’t have minded accepting it, but seeing the money being offered changed things.

Gu Chen immediately said, "No, don’t worry about the money. We help others for joy, not for payment."

After he finished saying this, the man in the white shirt was taken aback.

Two thousand yuan was certainly not a small sum in today’s society, but Gu Chen showed no hesitation, and just like that, he refused.

It was clear Gu Chen was not the type who lacked money.

At this, the woman suddenly seemed a bit annoyed, turning to the man in the white shirt and saying, "Brother, you shouldn’t do this. You can’t measure a life-saving grace with money."

She seemed a little upset by the man’s actions.

After hearing this, Gu Chen could only offer an awkward smile and then said, "It’s alright, I appreciate your sentiments, but there’s no need for anything else. It wasn’t really a big deal."

Upon hearing this, the woman quickly said, "That’s not true at all. You carried my dad down from more than seven thousand steps, I can hardly imagine such a feat. Have you done any physical checks recently? Are there any problems with your body? If there are, we will take full responsibility."

Her attitude was very sincere, even if her words sounded a bit odd.

It almost seemed like she was talking as if he were on his deathbed.

But at that moment, Old Master Wei suddenly walked over and stood in front of the man in the white shirt.

The man in the white shirt looked at Old Master Wei, apparently not understanding what he intended to do.

But then, he saw Old Master Wei stretch out his hand and land a hefty smack on the man.

Slap! It was crisp!

Everyone was stunned at this sight, even Gu Chen had not recovered.

The men in black suits reacted and immediately rushed over.

But Gu Chen was quick and promptly pulled Old Master Wei back.

The man in the white shirt now appeared all dizzy, seemingly because Old Master Wei had hit him too hard.

At this moment, Secretary Jin angrily questioned Old Master Wei, "Elder, what do you mean by this? How can you physically assault someone?"

The woman, who had already been on the verge of choking up, stopped herself from saying everything she wanted to say at this point.

Then, they heard Old Master Wei speak, "He Jin! You little scoundrel, to think that I’ve finally found you."

Old Master Wei said this with a laugh, but nobody around him could muster a smile.

Mentioning He Jin’s full name was one thing, but to speak so rudely was another.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Jin was filled with great anger and his eyes brimming with hostility.

He Jin also furrowed his brows, staring intently at Old Master Wei.

Clearly, in He Jin’s eyes, he did not recognize Old Master Wei at all.

And just then, Old Master Wei said directly, "What? You don’t recognize me now that you’re a high official? Back in the day when you came to my base looking for your father, I gave you candy to eat. You were such a kid then, didn’t even know how to peel the wrappers, and just stuffed everything into your mouth, causing quite a few laughs.

Just like your old man, he didn’t know how to peel the wrappers either. I remember when the supplies came in, your dad grabbed a banana and just ate it whole."

As Old Master Wei looked at He Jin, his eyes became very red, as if he was reminiscing a sad Chapter in his life.

At that moment, the frown on He Jin’s face gradually relaxed, and his gaze shifted from initial hostility to being stunned as he looked at Old Master Wei.

After a while, he finally asked, "Are you, are you Master Wei?"

He couldn’t believe it and questioned Old Master Wei.

Old Master Wei laughed heartily upon hearing this and then said, "Well, you still remember your Master Wei. I thought you had completely forgotten about me."

Those around were bewildered; no one had anticipated that the two knew each other.

Upon confirming it was indeed Master Wei, He Jin immediately went over and looked Old Master Wei up and down carefully.

"Are you really my Master Wei?" He still seemed a bit incredulous.

The feeling was as if he was in a dream.

"What? Are you surprised to see your Master Wei alive and well?" Old Master Wei said with a chuckle.

Upon hearing this, He Jin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Impossible! Master Wei, where have you been all these years, and why haven’t you visited our home?"

The more He Jin looked at Old Master Wei, the more he felt as if he had gone back twenty years in time.

Back then, he was still young. His old man was usually stationed at the military base, barely seeing him more than once or twice a year.

Every visit, he could see the most dashing man on the base, and that man was the very Old Master Wei standing before him.

"Alas, ever since the base was disbanded, it’s been difficult to see each other again," Old Master Wei sighed at that moment.

He Jin also felt sentimental after hearing this, but he quickly continued to ask, "Old Master, what are you doing now?"

"Me? I asked Gu Chen to bring me here this time specifically to look for your father. Where is he now?" Old Master Wei inquired.

Hearing that Old Master Wei had come specifically to find their family, He Jin quickly replied, "My dad is in the hospital."

"Hospital? What happened?" asked Old Master Wei.

"It’s a long story; why don’t we go to the hospital first so that you and my dad can meet?" He Jin seemed at a loss for where to begin.

And so, everyone headed to the hospital together. While riding in Gu Chen’s car, Old Master Wei’s face was a picture of happiness.
