After the divorce, I started to transfer
Chapter 1837 We are one family
Since Theodore Mergen had already said that, Chen Feng naturally couldn't say anything more.
He didn't specifically introduce his intellectually disabled grandson to Chen Feng; after all, he only had the mental age of three but was actually thirty, so an introduction was unnecessary. Chen Feng also didn't meet the intellectually disabled patient. By the time he arrived at the blood collection room, the patient was already lying on the operating table. Chen Feng's job was simply to provide fresh platelets.
The core issue of intellectual developmental disorders is, of course, a problem with the brain, which may involve multiple brain structures and physiological mechanisms related to cognitive function, such as the cerebral cortex, neural pathways, and neurotransmitters.
Therefore, the medical expert team recommends that Chen Feng's platelets, which possess miraculous healing properties, be infused into the patient's brain, ideally circulating within the cerebral bloodstream. This could potentially heal the damaged areas of the brain and even allow the brain to redevelop. If successful, the patient's intelligence could gradually improve through subsequent education.
For safety reasons, and also to achieve better results, Chen Feng continuously provided fresh blood for the brain transfusion. This continued for about six hours before it finally ended.
However, whether this treatment is effective remains to be seen over time. After all, this is an intellectual disability, not another disease in the traditional sense that can be detected through blood tests or other medical examinations. It will require a period of observation and IQ testing to determine its effectiveness.
After the treatment was over, Chen Feng left the blood collection room, chatted with Theodore Mergen who was waiting outside for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
Not long after Chen Feng returned to the hotel, he received a call from Mr. Williams.
"Theodore just called me to thank me. He had a good impression of you, saying that you are neither arrogant nor humble, and that you are definitely capable of great things."
Williams was clearly in a good mood. After all, Theodore owed him a huge favor this time. Just as Theodore himself said, regardless of whether he could successfully treat his grandson's intellectual disability, he would owe Chen Feng and Williams a favor.
The value of such family connections is sometimes immeasurable. Of course, Chen Feng is now, in a way, his grandson-in-law, at least in his mind, so he naturally had reason to be happy to hear an old friend he respected praising his grandson-in-law.
"Thank you for the compliment. However, as I said before, I don't have high hopes for this treatment. Of course, it won't do any harm either; it should even be good for his health."
Williams quickly replied, "That's it. As long as it benefits his grandson, then his $2 million is well spent."
Chen Feng hesitated and said, "If he can't be cured, isn't charging him $2 million for treatment a bit excessive?"
Williams laughed and said, "You set this rule yourself. You said before that you'd charge $2 million for treatment regardless of whether it works or not. Besides, you planned to donate that money to charity, so why not? Furthermore, their family is extremely wealthy. Don't look at them with worldly eyes. They're truly rich now, with nothing but money. They're richer than a country, you know? $2 million isn't a lot of money for them. If you really cure his grandson, or even improve his intelligence, he'd be willing to spend even more."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng exclaimed: "Is that even possible?"
However, since the old man had said so, Chen Feng certainly wouldn't be polite to a large family like the Mergen. Just as the old man said, he was using this money for charity, which would also be considered as accumulating good karma for the Mergen family. It wasn't necessary for him to refuse, as he was a little thick-skinned.
So Chen Feng readily agreed, "Okay, then please help me expedite the transfer. Ideally, it should be completed within a week."
Williams chuckled, “Don’t worry. Theodore is a straightforward man. Once his grandson is awake and everything is clear, I’m sure he’ll transfer the money to you very soon.”
After discussing this matter, Chen Feng took the initiative to ask about his youngest son, Johnny, who was Molly's father.
When Williams heard Chen Feng ask about this, his mood somber, and he said with a hint of anger, "He brought this on himself. I was very disappointed in him when he divorced Adeline. Adeline was undoubtedly a good wife, but his promiscuous lifestyle made her extremely disillusioned, which is why she chose to divorce him. As a result, after the divorce, he became even more unruly, messing around outside. Now he's run into this mess. The autopsy report is out now, and it has preliminarily ruled out the possibility of murder. He has been successfully released on bail, but the other party's family is still going to sue him, just to make him suffer."
Chen Feng asked in surprise, "Can this really be prosecuted? The woman died from an overdose of illegal drugs injected into the bathroom. What does this have to do with Johnny? Johnny probably wasn't fully aware of the situation at the time."
Williams said with a wry smile, "Johnny knew that the woman was using illegal substances. Johnny himself said that he had tried to persuade her, but she wouldn't listen. The problem now is whether he provided timely assistance to the woman, and whether there was any delay in her treatment. In the end, the woman's family just wants to pin the blame on him, make him pay money, and bear some civil liability, so they can take their anger out on him."
Chen Feng frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit too much? Johnny has only known her for a few months, right? And then she accidentally killed herself. How can you blame Johnny for that?"
Williams said, "After all, Johnny was with the woman when she died, and that's undeniable. As for whether Johnny provided timely medical attention or called an ambulance, that's a bit unclear. The other party seized on this loophole to pin the responsibility for the woman's accidental death on Johnny. Making Johnny pay compensation is secondary; the main thing is to vent their anger on Johnny. After all, in their view, Johnny bears some responsibility for the woman's death."
Chen Feng frowned and asked, "Didn't you have a proper talk with the other party's family?"
Williams said with a wry smile, "I contacted them, and they are very resentful. After all, they only had one daughter, and now she's dead. Johnny was right beside her when she died. Even though Johnny feels he's innocent, they still think he's responsible. At the very least, they strongly suspect that Johnny didn't provide timely medical care or dissuade the other party in time."
Chen Feng was speechless. It seemed Johnny had no choice but to take the blame.
After discussing Johnny, the two chatted for a while longer before ending the call.
Around 10 p.m., Jenny called him and said that the foundation had suddenly received a transfer of $200 million from an offshore company.
She asked Chen Feng if he knew the specific origin of the money. Chen Feng, of course, did not explicitly say that the money was transferred from the Morgan family, but only said that it was donated by a kind person who did not want to reveal his name.
Although Jenny was very curious and puzzled, she didn't press the matter further after hearing what Chen Feng said.
Jenny then went on to talk about the foundation's current situation. She told Chen Feng that formal interviews for the job applicants had begun that day, and she, Zhou Qianru, and Tang Xinyi had already selected three staff members. Therefore, they definitely wouldn't be able to recruit twenty people in one day, and they would need to continue recruiting and interviewing. Chen Feng offered her a few words of encouragement, chatted for a while, and then ended the call.
Putting down his phone, Chen Feng looked at Brina beside him and asked, "Would you be willing to take a position at my foundation? I'll pay you a salary."
After Chen Feng had something to do in the afternoon, Brina went to the school and then returned to the hotel in the evening. Having reunited with Chen Feng, she naturally didn't want to be separated from him again.
She was aware of the charitable foundation established by Chen Feng, as she had a good relationship with Zhou Qianru and knew that Zhou Qianru was now the vice president of the foundation, as well as that Tang Xinyi was also a vice president.
After a slight hesitation, Brina asked, "I'm going to study abroad in the second half of the year, so I'll probably be spending most of my time at school. Would it be okay if I had a position at the foundation?"
Chen Feng laughed, "This foundation is mine, how can it not work? You can be a publicity officer, responsible for promoting the free children's nutritious lunch program. I can pay you a lower salary, $1 a month." Brina, upon hearing this, couldn't help but chuckle and said, "$1 a month isn't enough?"
Chen Feng nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's less. You should know that Sister Qianru's annual salary is 100 million US dollars."
Brina smiled and said, "Alright then, I know you're giving me money. I might have felt embarrassed before, but not anymore. Because I really am your woman, it's only right that you give me money to spend, not to mention I don't have much income right now. It's fine for you to support me. Of course, I will do this job well."
I can help with online promotion and, if necessary, offline promotion. I plan to apply for a Master's program in Mandarin Chinese, since I've been studying it for three or four years, especially the last two years. I can now have a normal conversation with you in Mandarin without any problems, and the program is quite easy with little academic pressure. I'll be responsible for promoting the free children's lunch program in your country, which will also utilize my professional knowledge and serve as a kind of social practice.
Chen Feng certainly didn't object to her choice; on the contrary, he was very supportive, nodding with a smile and saying, "Studying this major will indeed be relatively easy for you. Moreover, universities in China should offer many preferential treatment to foreigners learning Mandarin. Besides, if you really master this language, you can find a very good job even if you return to the United States in the future. After all, Mandarin is really difficult for foreigners like you, and not many people can speak it."
Upon hearing this, Brina rolled her eyes at Chen Feng with some resentment and said, "I'm learning Mandarin not to go back to China, but to live better here in China."
Chen Feng looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Are you really planning to stay in China for the long term? Even after you graduate with a master's degree, do you still intend to continue living here?"
Brina nodded earnestly, "Yes, I've thought it through. Before, I might have only been with you to heal my wounds, but then I realized I'd fallen in love with you. I've also fallen in love with Xiuzhou. I love life in Xiuzhou, and I love living with you even more. So why don't I move there and settle down?"
"Alright, if you're willing to live with me in Xiuzhou, I certainly won't object."
Brina happily hugged Chen Feng and kissed him again.
The next day, when Brina took Chen Feng shopping again, Chen Feng suddenly felt a pang of heartache, and several images flashed through his mind. His expression immediately changed.
He immediately stopped and reached out to grab Brina. As Brina looked at him with a puzzled expression, Chen Feng said to her seriously, "I have to leave Los Angeles now. Just drive me there."
Brina was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Chen Feng could only say, "Believe it or not, my intuition tells me that I will be in danger if I stay in Los Angeles, so I have to leave immediately. If it's inconvenient for you to drive me, I'll call a ride-hailing service myself."
Brinna quickly replied, "Of course I believe you. I'll take you away from Los Angeles right now."
With that, Brina grabbed Chen Feng and started jogging towards where she had parked her car.
Brina had complete faith in Chen Feng's intuition, as it had been proven before. Besides, even if Chen Feng hadn't proven it, she was still very willing to believe what he said, even if it sounded a bit far-fetched.
The two quickly arrived at where Brina had parked. They got into the car, and Brina started it quickly, heading towards the highway.
"Can you tell me now which way to go? Or which city to go to?"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng said, "Let's drive towards Houston."
Brinna said nothing more, stepped on the gas and sped away.
Chen Feng calmed himself down a bit and picked up his phone to call Williams.
"Grandpa, I need your help now." Chen Feng called "Grandpa" very readily this time, since he was asking for a favor.
Williams paused for a moment before saying, "Of course, what do you need my help with?"
Chen Feng said directly, "Help me investigate someone named Julian, a bald black man. He should be from the Department of Homeland Security. He's targeting me now, and I feel my personal safety is threatened."
Williams was startled, then asked in astonishment, "How is this possible? Why is he targeting you? How did you know?"
Chen Feng smiled wryly and said, "It's probably because of my special abilities, and also because I'm very rich now. Anyway, I already know that. So, I hope you can use your connections and relationships to make him stop all malicious actions against me. Otherwise, I might have no choice but to seek help from the consulate, and I might not come to America again. You at least promised me your personal safety here in America."
Williams hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Does Carl know about this?"
Chen Feng said, "I called you first. He hasn't said anything yet, could you talk to him for me? If the two of you help, could you stop Julian's malicious actions against me?"
Williams immediately said, "Son, I will definitely help you, and I will do my best to help you. I will ask around about this. If it is true, the Lampson family is not to be trifled with. We will definitely help you get an explanation, after all, you are now considered a member of the Lampson family."
"Thank you. If you can help me resolve this matter, I will acknowledge that I will be considered a member of your Lampson family from now on."
Williams was delighted to hear Chen Feng's words and laughed heartily, "Kid, you are my family. We are family, and I'm even waiting for you and Molly to give me a great-grandson."
"Then I'm waiting for your good news."
“Okay, I’ll let you know as soon as I have any news. Don’t worry too much. America is a place that values the rule of law. Even the Department of Homeland Security can’t just arrest people arbitrarily, let alone you, who are a member of our family and Carl’s savior. You’ve even saved the relatives of many important people. As long as Carl and I tell them about you, I believe they will be very willing to help.”
Lampson's words reassured Chen Feng somewhat. (End of Chapter)
