Chapter 775: 723

“They say that adversity reveals true friendship; if one person is willing to walk through fire for another, no one would remain unmoved, and the most basic result of being moved is to develop affection.”

Liu Qingqing was just such a person now. Although they hadn’t known each other for long, when Liu Hun had previously blocked Chen Daniu and his men in the hospital for her and willingly took the beating, that was the greatest touch for her. It was in that moment that Liu Hun’s image was deeply engraved in her heart.

After returning to the hospital from the hotel, Liu Hun made another call to Wang Xiaofei, asking him to temporarily protect Liu Qingqing. After all, this incident had left some shadows in her heart, and Liu Hun would be regretful beyond measure if anything were to happen.

Just arriving back at the hospital, Liu Hun was stunned to see a police car at the entrance. The matter at the hospital had been explained clearly by Chen Daniu and his people to the journalists, and Liu Hun hadn’t reported Wu Zhi’s case to the police either. The sudden visit of a police car to the hospital puzzled Liu Hun.

“Hunzi, you’re finally back. Have you gotten into some trouble before?” As he walked into the hospital, the director hurried to Liu Hun, looking at him with a worried expression and asked.

“Is the police here for me?” Liu Hun asked, puzzled.

“Hunzi, you tell me honestly. Although I don’t have much influence, I might be able to help you if the matter isn’t too serious,” the director said, growing even more worried as he saw that Liu Hun had guessed the situation.

Looking at the director’s worried face, Liu Hun smiled slightly and shook his head, “Director, you can rest assured. I haven’t done anything bad.”

“Liu Hun, you’re finally back. What have you been up to today?” Following the director to his office, Chen Wen sat in a chair and looked at Liu Hun, questioning.

Facing Chen Wen’s slightly unfavorable complexion, Liu Hun was taken aback and calmly said, “Does Director Chen have something for me? I’ve been at the hospital the whole day today, and everyone can attest to that.”

From the moment Liu Hun stepped into the Chen Family household, Chen Wen hadn’t liked Liu Hun much—something well understood by Liu Hun.

Since they didn’t like him, naturally Liu Hun would not shamelessly try to ingratiate himself.

Seeing the somewhat haughty look in Liu Hun’s eyes, Chen Wen had a mixed expression. He took a deep breath, stood up, and said, “Come on, my dad wants to see you.”

“Grandpa Chen wants to see me?” Liu Hun was confused by Chen Wen’s actions, unable to figure out what was going on.

But for Chen Wen to come personally in a police car to get him, especially at this late hour, clearly, it was no minor matter.

“Director, I’ll step out for a bit. I might not come back tonight,” Liu Hun said slowly to the director beside him, who looked somewhat shocked.

Liu Hun had just called Chen Wen’s father “Grandpa Chen,” clearly indicating a deep relationship with the Chen family; after all, who was Elder Chen? Even in the entire Provincial City, there weren’t many who would dare to provoke him by addressing him as “Grandpa Chen.”

“Mm, be careful then. Remember to call this old man if anything happens,” the director said, still a bit worried.

Feeling the director’s caring eyes, Liu Hun smiled. Regardless of whether it was for his medical skills or genuine concern, Liu Hun couldn’t help but feel a warmth in his heart.

After Liu Hun and Chen Wen got into the police car, Chen Wen didn’t rush to drive; instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes, offered one to Liu Hun.

“I don’t smoke, it’s harmful to health,” Liu Hun shook his head.

Seeing Liu Hun refuse, Chen Wen didn’t say much, just lit one for himself, took a deep drag, then turned his head to Liu Hun and asked, “Do you really like Mengmeng?”

Faced with Chen Wen’s question, Liu Hun was somewhat surprised, not understanding what Chen Wen was getting at.

“In a family like the Chen Family, everyone is only concerned about themselves, there’s no doubt about that; although the business matters of the Chen Family are managed by my eldest sister, people are more or less displeased daily, but if it’s something concerning the whole Chen Family, then all of us are united,” Chen Wen said, taking a drag on his cigarette without waiting for Liu Hun to reply, and continued speaking.

“In this life, I, Liu Hun, am perhaps destined to wander through this world alone. It’s not a good thing for a girl to fall in love with me, and I’m even less entitled to like someone,” Liu Hun said. Although he didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Chen Wen’s words, he could sense that Chen Wen didn’t like the idea of any entanglement between him and Sun Mengmeng.

“Remember what you’ve said today. If you can stick to it, I, Chen Wen, will still respect you. But if I find out there’s anything between you and Mengmeng later, don’t blame me for not being polite.” Chen Wen finished speaking, threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and started the car, racing ahead.

Nearly half an hour later, Chen Wen brought Liu Hun to the Chen household. As soon as he stepped into the yard, Liu Hun saw Sun Mengmeng lounging around, looking bored.

“Hunzi bro, grandpa told me you were coming to the Provincial City today—I didn’t believe it. I didn’t expect you to come see me so soon,” Sun Mengmeng’s face showed a trace of excitement the moment she saw Liu Hun. She trotted toward him.

Before she could approach Liu Hun, Chen Wen blocked her way, frowning, then scolded Sun Mengmeng, “As a girl, don’t you have the slightest sense of reserve?”

“I…” Frozen in place by my uncle’s rebuke, Sun Mengmeng stood still, looking like a wooden chicken, her face full of grievance.

The last time Liu Hun had come to our house, no one had opposed the matter, but now the change in my uncle filled her with a sense of foreboding.

“Mengmeng, I’ve already told Uncle Chen about our relationship, and I mainly came this time to visit Grandpa Chen and give him a thorough treatment for his health,” Liu Hun said, looking at the somewhat dazed Sun Mengmeng, calmly.

Chen Wen had made his intentions very clear to Liu Hun before: no matter what Grandpa Chen needed him for this time, if it could break Sun Mengmeng’s attachment, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Watching Liu Hun follow my uncle upstairs without looking back, Sun Mengmeng, left behind, bit her red lips tightly, fighting to keep the tears from falling.

Entering Grandpa Chen’s study, Liu Hun saw Grandpa Chen painting, and both men remained silent so as not to disturb the elderly gentleman.

After nearly ten minutes, Grandpa Chen put down his brush and, upon seeing Liu Hun and Chen Wen in the room, smiled and said, “Hun, you’ve come at the perfect time, come take a look at this painting and tell me what you think.”

At that, Liu Hun nodded, walked over, and, looking at the painting on the table, was taken aback.

The painting featured a stream with a forest around it, and a hunter standing by the water, with a basket of fish and a pair of bear paws in front of him. From the looks of it, the hunter seemed uncertain.

After all, he couldn’t take both items with him, so he had to choose.

“Grandpa Chen is truly impressive, not only is your painting excellent, but it also has a profound meaning, truly a splendid piece,” Liu Hun sincerely praised.

“In this world, we all want to have our cake and eat it too, but sometimes, we indeed have to choose between the two. If you like this painting, I can give it to you,” Grandpa Chen said with some emotion.

“Then, thank you, Grandpa Chen,” Liu Hun didn’t decline.

Liu Hun carefully accepted the painting, perhaps his last time visiting the Chen Family, so he cherished it all the more.

Having already died once, he remembered all those who had been good to him in this life.

“Grandpa Chen, let me give you a thorough treatment,” Liu Hun said earnestly, after storing the painting.

Feeling the clear, earnest gaze in Liu Hun’s eyes, Grandpa Chen was slightly moved and didn’t refuse, nodding his head.

This time, the acupuncture session for Grandpa Chen didn’t take much time; after all, Liu Hun had already greatly improved Grandpa Chen’s health last time.

Grandpa Chen watched Liu Hun put away the silver needles, let out a deep breath, and sighed, “Hun, was the Green Dragon Gang’s business your doing?”

Seeing Grandpa Chen finally getting to the point, Liu Hun stopped what he was doing, nodded, his expression calm, without a hint of regret.

“Though they indeed deserved punishment, those were still many lives. What are your plans now?” Grandpa Chen shook his head, clearly saddened.

“I’ll continue to develop Shanghe Village and then experience life,” Liu Hun said with a light laugh.

Seeing Liu Hun still unwilling to tell the whole truth, Grandpa Chen looked at him deeply for a long time and then finally said, “I can hold them off for a while, from above. If you can grow strong enough during this time, so they can’t lay a hand on you, then you continue to live; and don’t ask who it is, I’ve only just started to suspect something. Knowing too much isn’t good for you right now.”

“Dad, this could very well involve our Chen Family. If it fails, we might…” Upon hearing his father’s words, Chen Wen’s face couldn’t help but drastically change.

Grandpa Chen waved his hand at Chen Wen, turned to look out the dark window, and gently closed his eyes, saying softly, “Although my illness can be cured by Hun, I’m old, and once I leave this world, the Chen Family will still be devoured completely.”

Chen Wen, looking at his father’s somewhat aged appearance, showed a hint of regret on his face. Although he had now become the chief, he was insignificant in the eyes of some big shots.

And Grandpa Chen’s decision was to gamble, staking their Chen Family on a gamble with Liu Hun!

Success meant soaring high; failure spelled utter ruin—such was the price.

“Hun, I have one more thing, consider it a request…” Grandpa Chen turned to look at Liu Hun.

Before the old man could finish, Liu Hun nodded and said, “As for Mengmeng, I’ll handle it well; I won’t involve her.”
