The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me
Chapter 654 Personal grudges
Tong Fang squatted down and carefully observed the old man's condition. He found it was worse than he had expected. The pulse was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. If he was not rescued in time, he probably wouldn't last even five minutes.
Seeing the people still gathered around him, he felt a surge of anger, thinking that they had no respect for life and didn't care about human life at all.
He roared at them, "If you can't help, then stop crowding around here and blocking the airflow! You're just making things worse!"
As soon as he said that, the people around him dispersed and stopped standing on the side blocking his view.
After the crowd dispersed, the air became fresher and no longer as stuffy and unbearable as before.
Tong Fang placed his hands together and pressed them directly on the elderly man's heart to perform CPR.
The elderly person is in a state of transient shock. If they can be saved in time, they should be fine. However, if they cannot be saved, they may never wake up again.
Therefore, the crucial three minutes for saving a life are the golden three minutes. If the person can be saved within these three minutes, then everything will be alright.
If he can't be saved, we can only accept reality, after all, he has done his best.
The girl didn't cry or make a fuss; she just stood quietly to the side and watched. She held back her tears, refusing to let them fall. She wouldn't allow herself to be weak at this moment.
Especially in such critical moments, she must be strong.
Tong Fang went all out, using almost every trick in the book, and even took out his own medicine and fed it to the old man.
He acted swiftly, the entire rescue process taking no more than five minutes, but in those short five minutes, he dared not relax for a moment, feeling immense pressure. He also understood that the girl in front of him valued the old man above all else, which was why she was crying so bitterly, almost on the verge of collapse.
In this situation, he had to save the person; he couldn't let everyone down.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Thanks to his tireless efforts, the old man, who had fallen into a deep coma, slowly woke up.
"Cough cough..."
The old man coughed a few times, barely managing to find his voice, and asked hoarsely, "Where am I?"
The girl next to him immediately came over to support him and patiently explained, "We are waiting for the ship. We managed to get tickets to the Great Zhou Dynasty. Once the ship comes to pick us up, we can get there. So you must hang in there."
The old man touched his slightly dizzy head, unable to recall what had happened. He only remembered that when he walked over, everything went black and he knew nothing more.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on the cold floor, while his beloved granddaughter was crying uncontrollably.
"You just fell and were unconscious. This young man saved you."
The girl helped her grandfather up from the ground and patiently recounted what had just happened.
The old man's feelings were complicated. He looked at the young man in front of him and said sincerely, "Thank you for saving me. My old bones are getting worse and worse. In the past two years, I have been fainting for no reason. I have seen many doctors, but I still can't figure out what is wrong with me."
Since this young man was able to pull him back from the brink of death, it means that the young man must know some methods of treatment.
Tong Fang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I don't know much about the specifics, but I do know a little about your condition. When we go to the Great Zhou Dynasty, we can consult the renowned physicians there."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately perked up, realizing that his illness could still be treated.
He said with a happy face, "Then it's settled. We'll go together. Anyway, my grandson and I have already managed to get tickets there."
"You guys are really lucky. I heard that tickets here are hard to get. Many people come to queue up early, but still can't get any."
Tong Fang thought they were really lucky, since the tickets were already sold out before he arrived.
Some people even queued here without eating or drinking in order to get tickets, but everything depends on fate. Even though they did so much, they still didn't get a single ticket.
The fact that this grandfather and grandson were able to snag tickets and successfully enter the Great Zhou Dynasty shows that they truly have this destiny.
The old man said with some pride, "Tickets here are really hard to get. Even with connections, you might not be able to get one. I was able to get them because I live nearby, and I'm always at the front of the line."
There's a saying that goes, "Those who are near the water get the moon first." Since he lives here, why wouldn't he come and grab tickets?
He originally just wanted to try his luck and see if he could snag two tickets to take his granddaughter to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he actually succeeded.
"It's our good fortune to be able to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm already an old man, and even if I were cured, it wouldn't make much difference. In fact, there's not much point in fighting for it."
"You can't say that. When you fainted just now, you had no idea how heartbroken your granddaughter was. Even for your granddaughter's sake, you have to live well and stop thinking about those bad things."
Tong Fang hoped he could think more positively and stop getting stuck in his own thoughts. Besides, the meaning of life lies in living happily, not in being gloomy every day; that's just too boring.
Besides Tong Fang, several other people were also trying to persuade him.
“Old man, this young man is right. Since you are alive, live well and relax. Your condition will be much better.”
“I have a relative who used to be a seriously ill patient, but he took positive and optimistic treatment and is now over eighty years old and still in good health.”
“Your life was saved with great difficulty, you shouldn’t be thinking about bad things. Besides, this trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty will allow you to see many different things, you shouldn’t give up so easily at this time.”
After everyone's encouragement, the old man was no longer as dejected as before.
He chuckled and said, "Thank you for your guidance. I was too narrow-minded before."
Everyone is right. Even for his granddaughter's sake, he has to live well.
In this world, the grandfather and granddaughter are each other's only family. He really can't imagine who will take care of his granddaughter if he passes away first.
So no matter what, he has to live well.
Tong Fang was pleased to see that he had come to terms with it: "I'm especially happy that you think this way. The ship should be here soon, and we'll go together then. If you feel unwell, just let me know so we can look after each other."
Because of the time constraints, Tong Fang still hasn't figured out what illness the old man is suffering from.
He only used some first aid to pull the old man back from the brink of death, and hopes that the old man can pull through.
If we can get to the Great Zhou Dynasty and have a doctor there examine me, there might still be hope for a cure.
"Okay, let's wait here together. However, according to the time indicated on the ticket, it will take about half an hour."
The old man looked at the ticket in his hand, which showed that the boat would pick them up around 7:30.
It's already 7 o'clock, which means there's still half an hour left.
He suddenly felt that the past half hour had been incredibly long.
Not only were they waiting anxiously, but Su Liang was also extremely impatient. He felt that the short half hour was far too long.
He had heard before that there weren't many tickets available and very few people could actually get them, but seeing so many people waiting here, it seemed that the rumors weren't necessarily accurate.
He also heard everyone discussing enthusiastically, all looking forward to their trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A young man said to his family, "Don't worry, when we get there, I will tell you everything I see. Although our family only managed to get one ticket, there will be other opportunities. I will go there first to get familiar with the area and then come back to take you there."
“Then you must take good care of yourself. We’ll be waiting for you at home,” the young woman said.
“Alright, you take good care of yourself and the child at home. I certainly won’t miss this opportunity to make friends with nobles while I’m going to the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
The young man's eyes were full of ambition. He not only planned to observe the situation, but also wanted to establish himself in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He didn't want to be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. He also wanted to get to know people in high society and take this opportunity to find more ways out for himself so that he could earn more money and provide his family with a stable life.
"Okay, then the kids and I will wait for you at home. If you can't come back in a short time, be sure to send us a message, don't leave us waiting here like this."
The woman was filled with worry and repeatedly gave him instructions.
Besides them, Su Liang also saw many other people preparing for their trip to the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This shows how much everyone values this trip.
Besides these ambitious individuals, there were also some people who planned to go to the Great Zhou Dynasty to investigate the situation.
They weren't standing in conspicuous spots, but rather hiding in inconspicuous corners. Some wore black hats, covering most of their faces; some wore masks, their eyes darting around as they stood to the side; and others wore glasses, looking furtive.
Some people gathered in small groups, discussing matters concerning the Great Zhou Dynasty.
People from the Red Cake Country are among them.
The person leading the discussion was named Yimu-kun, their leader. He hid in a corner and said, "Be careful when you go there this time. Don't reveal your identities. Don't contact headquarters unless absolutely necessary."
"Ichiki-kun, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? Maybe they don't even know us. Besides, there are so many ordinary people mixed in there; they might not be targeting us."
Yimu-jun thought his words were too short-sighted, thinking that no matter how powerful Yang Xia was, it was impossible for him to prevent everything from happening in advance.
As long as they don't cause trouble, they won't attract attention and can do what they want.
Ichiki glared at him fiercely: "It's because you have this kind of thinking that you can't accomplish anything. Do you think everyone you see is just an ordinary person?"
I really don't know how there could be such a stupid person around me.
Tianye asked, puzzled, "Then what do you mean by that?"
"There are not only ordinary people here, but also people from other countries, who are disguised as ordinary people just like us, with the aim of infiltrating the Great Zhou Dynasty to gather information."
I've never had the chance before, so I had no idea how strong this so-called dynasty really was, and I had no confidence in myself.
Now that such a great opportunity is right in front of us, everyone wants to check it out, not to mention other countries, which will certainly not miss this opportunity.
What they can think of, other countries can naturally think of as well.
After Ichiki explained the situation, Tianye finally understood.
"So that's how it is. It was my foolishness that led me to fail to consider things thoroughly."
Tianye felt that he was too naive and had thought things were too simple; in reality, it was far from as easy as he imagined.
Ichiki sighed and said, "Think more before you act in the future. Don't act recklessly and ruin everyone's plans. You can't afford to take the blame."
Ichiki-kun guessed correctly; besides them, there were indeed people from other countries mixed in with the ordinary people.
The most ambitious among them are the people of the Atlantean Empire.
Among them was the newly appointed Jesse.
His golden hair made him stand out in the crowd.
However, after putting on the black hat, he looked much more ordinary.
But from a distance, he appears to be much taller than the average person.
It is precisely because of his height that he stands out somewhat in a crowd.
Jesse told his men, "Our goal this time is to find out where their military headquarters is, gather information about their strength, and then report back to headquarters. Until then, you all better behave yourselves and don't cause any trouble."
He knew his men's personalities and temperaments all too well; if he didn't give them instructions, they would probably cause trouble before they even reached their destination.
“Lord Jesse, I’ve spotted three groups of suspicious people over there. They’re probably not ordinary civilians; they’ve probably infiltrated like us.”
The speaker was named Tiffany, a thoughtful and bold girl. As soon as she arrived, she began to observe her surroundings and quickly spotted the suspicious people.
She wrote down everything and reported it to Jesse, asking him to keep a close eye on things.
Jesse's expression was uncertain; they had come with an important mission. As long as they kept to themselves and avoided trouble, they would have a chance to ascertain the true strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This is the core purpose of their trip.
After Tiffany told him the situation, Jesse felt uneasy, thinking that these people who suddenly appeared might ruin his plans.
Once discovered by the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what awaits them will likely be more than just expulsion.
If the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were more ruthless, they might have executed them on the spot. In that case, they wouldn't even be able to send out a single message and would just die here in vain.
Everyone is destined to die, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.
Even if he were to die, Jesse wanted to die a worthy death, one that would contribute to the country, rather than dying an unjust death in a foreign land.
"Listen up, everyone. Once you enter the Great Zhou Dynasty, don't rush into anything. Prioritize safety. It's not too late to act once you've thoroughly understood the situation there."
There's no need to rush to reveal your intentions because of some uncertainties. (End of Chapter)
