Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

When Jiang Hui and Qin Dongyang woke up, they learned that Mu Tiantian had not been killed in the explosion, while Fu Zhengting was under observation in the intensive care unit. Neither of them knew whether to be happy or sad.

The two first looked at Mu Tiantian, then went in to see Fu Zhengting.

Looking at Fu Zhengting, who was wrapped up tightly except for his eyes, Qin Dongyang recalled the scene before he fainted and was deeply moved. He bent down and grabbed Fu Zhengting's hand, promising, "Fu Zhengting, as long as you wake up, I will give you my daughter in marriage and I will never object to you again!"

He saw that Fu Zhengting's hands were also bandaged, and his fingernails were burned off, which made him feel a sense of respect and guilt.

If he had let go of his prejudice against Fu Zhengting earlier, listened to his daughter's suggestion, and waited until after the Beginning of Winter for Fu Zhenlong and Yang Guanghui to meet before he hid and eavesdropped, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Jiang Hui stood behind Qin Dongyang, watching the scene with him, feeling equally heartbroken.

She desperately wished that Fu Zhengting could wake up at this moment and say to Qin Dongyang, "Father-in-law, you said it yourself, you must keep your word."

She optimistically comforted Qin Dongyang, "Mr. Qin, Ah Shen loves your daughter so much. He will definitely wake up so that he can marry your daughter."

Qin Dongyang also deeply believed that for the first time, he felt that the power of love was so strong. "Fu Zhengting, you have passed my test. The netizens across the internet have witnessed your sincerity towards my daughter. If you wake up, I will not only betroth my daughter to you, but I will also try to... reconcile with your father."

Since we're going to be in-laws, we need to resolve any misunderstandings.

He couldn't guarantee he could completely let go of his resentment, but he was willing to try for Fu Zhengting's sake.

Fu Zhenlong waited outside the intensive care unit and felt a mix of emotions when he saw Qin Dongyang come out.

He felt that some things needed to be made clearer. "Dongyang, after what happened with Yang Guanghui, I have deeply reflected on my actions. I am really glad that I was able to turn back in time in the darkness. If I had been controlled by the devil of jealousy, I would have ended up like Yang Guanghui."

Qin Dongyang pursed his lips and remained silent. Although he had said those things to Fu Zhengting inside, the unease in his heart was still hard to shake off.

Fu Zhenlong continued, "I know our relationship can never go back to the way it was. Once a rift forms between people, it can never be healed. I'm telling you all this not to defend myself, but to summarize."

I don't expect your forgiveness. I know you've already been very generous by letting me in to see my son. If you can support him being with your daughter after he wakes up, that's the greatest forgiveness you can give me. I owe my son so much. Luckily, Ashen met your daughter; otherwise, he would have been lonely forever…”

As he finished speaking, he lowered his head and wiped away tears.

He said that it was uncertain whether his son would wake up.

Grandpa Xiao Jingsheng and Grandma Chen Hong didn't go back; they stayed with Fu Zhenlong. Hearing Fu Zhenlong's words, the two old people's eyes reddened.

Xiao Hailan came out of Mu Tiantian's ward with Xia Guiying. After hearing Fu Zhenlong's words, she was moved for the first time, not by mockery.

Perhaps it was really his son who changed Fu Zhenlong.

Or perhaps Fu Zhenlong isn't inherently that bad.

There really is no harm in comparison.

Compared to Yang Guanghui, Fu Zhenlong is considered good.

Xia Guiying had already told Mu Tiantian everything while she was in the ward.

She coldly reminded him, "Ultimately, the real culprit is Yang Guanghui. Aren't you two going to ask him about it?"

Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong exchanged a glance.

Their eyes burned with immense rage.

The two rushed to the police station that night.

Anan is going too.

He drove, with Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong sitting in the back.

Both of them were sitting in stiff postures.

Qin Dongyang intentionally kept his distance, and Fu Zhenlong dared not approach easily.

Throughout the journey, Fu Zhenlong looked out the car window, his mind replaying scenes of his youth with Qin Dongyang, and he felt a deep sense of emotion.

In the police station, Yang Guanghui, who was being detained, also recalled many things from the past.

It concerns his daughter, his wife, and Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong.

He especially remembered the time when his business failed and he had to humbly borrow money.

That feeling of being humiliated and lacking dignity still feels like an insult, even after so many years.

His doctor friends, who were usually on good terms with him, would avoid him whenever the topic of borrowing money came up.

Money is truly the fastest way to reveal a person's true character.

He went around asking around, but no one was willing to lend him any money.

Qin Dongyang, without any hesitation, lent it to him without a second thought.

Qin Dongyang's generosity is truly undeniable.

He is generous because he knows how to make money.

He earned his money with ease.

But then he remembered what Mu Tiantian had said and suddenly realized it made a lot of sense.

Because he had experience in business, he knew how difficult it was.

The fact that Qin Dongyang was able to continue down that path shows that he can truly withstand immense pressure.

At the time, I thought Qin Dongyang lent him money out of pity and to get rid of him.

Now that I think about it, I don't think that way anymore.

Qin Dongyang could completely ignore him.

When he was at his lowest point, no one was willing to help him except Qin Dongyang. Moreover, Qin Dongyang himself was suffering from business losses and was struggling financially, yet he still helped him...

He leaned against the wall, looking at the moon outside the window, and suddenly it all made sense.

He felt that Mu Tiantian's insults to him were not wrong.

It's just a business failure, not a terminal illness.

If things don't work out, we can always start over.

At worst, I can go back to the stable profession of doctor.

It's no big deal!

He actually held a grudge for so many years.

They got stuck in that dead end and couldn't get out.

He came to his senses and found Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong standing at the door.

The two men were staring at him coldly.

He jolted awake, blinked hard, and made sure he wasn't seeing things.

The police officer stood beside Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong and reminded Yang Guanghui inside, "Yang Guanghui, is there anything you need to say to Fu Zhenlong and Qin Dongyang? Whether you say it or not, the result is actually the same. This matter has become a big deal. If Fu Zhenlong's son dies, then Fu Zhenlong will sue you, and you will be held legally responsible."

Fu Zhenlong glared fiercely at Yang Guanghui, "If my son doesn't wake up, Yang Guanghui, you can expect to be executed."

Yang Guanghui was shocked and murmured, "Your son wasn't killed in the explosion?"

Fu Zhenlong laughed angrily, "You're disappointed. My son is lucky to be alive."

"Your son is truly lucky..." Yang Guanghui exclaimed.

It was a heartfelt exclamation.

Surprisingly, Fu Zhengting survived such a dangerous situation.

If Fu Zhengting didn't die, then Mu Tiantian definitely didn't die either.

Then he won't have to pay with his life!

Now he's figured it out and wants to live a good life.

She felt guilty towards Qin Dongyang and Fu Zhenlong, but couldn't bring herself to apologize.

Fu Zhenlong asked sternly, "Yang Guanghui, I only have one question for you now: what did I say to you when I invited you out for drinks back then, when we were drunk?"
