"Sister Lan, everything I'm saying is true, you have to believe me."

"Gu Yuebai, you're just a security guard, I'm the doctor. Please don't disturb me while I'm treating patients."

Song Lan didn't believe him at all, and the middle-aged woman was even less convinced. She pointed at Gu Yuebai's nose and yelled, "A security guard like you, spouting alarmist rumors and cursing my child! Believe me, I'll slap you!"

Faced with the middle-aged woman's ferocity and Song Lan's distrust, Gu Yuebai was speechless.

He can't help it.

"Since you don't believe me, then forget it. Sister Lan, I'm here to tell you that Hu Zhiwei is cheating on me. He stole my girlfriend and had an inappropriate relationship with her. That's all, you can handle it yourself."

After saying this, Gu Yuebai turned to leave.

But when he saw that the little girl was sickly and listless, he felt a pang of pity.

He found the paper and pen that Song Lan had used and wrote down his phone number.

"This is my phone number. If the little girl doesn't get better in seven days, you can call me."

When Song Lan suddenly heard Gu Yuebai mention Hu Zhiwei's promiscuity, her soft hands clenched instantly.

She grabbed the note Gu Yuebai had left behind, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

"Get out! Get out of here! You bastard!"

Song Lan screamed hysterically at Gu Yuebai's retreating figure.

Gu Yuebai stood outside her clinic, glanced back at her, and suddenly wondered if he had been too cruel.

But considering Hu Zhiwei's despicable and heinous acts, he knew he brought it all on himself. He wanted revenge on Hu Zhiwei!

This is just the beginning. He will not stop until he has ruined Hu Zhiwei's family, destroyed his reputation, and destroyed his life!

It would be great if Song Lan and Hu Zhiwei divorced.

He should at least collect some interest first.

Gu Yuebai hurried to the station, took a long-distance bus, and returned to Ruian County, a small county in Yuncheng.

When he rushed to the hospital and saw his mother, Shen Ling, lying on the hospital bed secretly shedding tears, Gu Yuebai slapped himself.

It's all my fault; I'm incompetent.

Gu Yuebai pushed open the door to the ward and went to her mother's bedside.

"Mom, how are you?"

When Shen Ling saw Gu Yuebai return, she quickly wiped away her tears.

"Mom's fine. The doctor said it's just a fracture. But she'll need to rest for a few months. But what about your Uncle Guo...?"

"I'll think of something..."

"Sister Shen, have you made up your mind?"

The door to the ward opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a short-sleeved shirt, an expensive Rolex watch, and a jade ring stepped in.

The person who arrived was Guo Xiaochang.

The ring on Guo Xiaochang's hand caught Gu Yuebai's attention.

A faint golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a subtle spiritual energy from the jade ring on Guo Xiaochang's left hand entered his eyes.

The structure of the jadeite instantly became crystal clear.

Gu Yuebai could see not only the ring on Guo Xiaochang's hand, but also the color of his underwear.

This left Gu Yuebai both surprised and puzzled.

"Brother Guo, please give us some more time. That piece of raw jade was something Old Gu risked his life to get back. I really can't bear to..." Shen Ling said with difficulty.

"Can't bear to? Hmph, what's there to be reluctant about? Ten years have passed, and you haven't touched that stone. If it's not cut open, it will always just be a stone. It's not worth much."

Guo Xiaochang spoke with utter contempt for Shen Ling, "You owe me 500,000 yuan. Over the years, you've only paid me back 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year, which I've barely bothered to accept. Out of respect for Gu Wenhui, I've never made you pay it all back at once; that's been kind enough. Now you're injured again, and your good-for-nothing son can't even support himself. How are you going to pay me back?"

"This..." Shen Ling was speechless despite being mocked by Guo Xiaochang.

"Who says we can't pay it back? I didn't know I owed you money before, but I will pay it back from now on."

Gu Yuebai stood up, puffed out her chest, and said firmly.

"You? Hahahaha." Guo Xiaochang looked down at Gu Yuebai and patted his chest. "Kid, don't think I don't know what you're doing. You're a gatekeeper at Yunlu Mansion, making five thousand yuan a month. When are you going to pay it off? Five years? Or ten years?"

Immediately, Guo Xiaochang, with a stern face, shouted seriously, "We can't delay any longer. Your Gu family and I can't afford to waste time. Either you return my 350,000 yuan now, or you give me that piece of raw jade as payment. Then we'll be even."

"Guo Xiaochang, you know perfectly well that Wenhui spent three million to get that piece of raw jade. You think you can just take it for 350,000? No way," Shen Ling said angrily.

"Hehe, that was then. Now is now. Don't give me that nonsense, either give me money or give me the raw materials."

Gu Yuebai walked step by step toward Guo Xiaochang, glaring angrily: "Back then, the domestic jade industry was booming, and the price of raw jade was extremely high. I remember there were at least several hundred pieces of raw jade in my family's warehouse at the time, right? You took it away for just over a million? You're not even my father's brother."

"Before, you relied on my dad to help you buy materials, and your family was not as well-off as ours, right? Later, you became rich because you took our raw materials, right?"

The jade industry is booming now, and raw jadeite is becoming increasingly scarce. A piece of raw jadeite from back then would probably be worth millions today. How can you, such a heartless and ungrateful person, bully an orphan and widow, have such a shameless attitude?

Guo Xiaochang was forced back step by step by Gu Yuebai. Despite his young age, his eyes were terrifyingly deep and mysterious.

Ten years ago, a kilogram of low- to mid-range jadeite rough cost only three to five hundred yuan. Ten years later, the price has increased tenfold.

Guo Xiaochang was naturally in the wrong.

"You owe me money, so it's only right that I pay back what you owe me. What's there to be ashamed of? You're not going to pay me back? If you don't, I'll sue you in court!"

"Give me seven days. If I can't come up with 350,000 after seven days, you can take that rough stone," Gu Yuebai shouted through gritted teeth.

"Moon White!" Shen Ling quickly stopped her.

"Good! A gentleman's word is his bond!"

"A swift whip!" Gu Yuebai refused to back down.

"You've got guts! I hope you don't go back on your word. Seven days from now, at 10 a.m., I'll be waiting at your doorstep. If you can't come up with the money, I'll just take the materials! Humph!"

Guo Xiaochang left without saying a word.

Shen Ling's tears flowed again. She said with a hint of reproach, "Yuebai, you were too impulsive. Where are you going to find 350,000 yuan in seven days?"

"Mom, believe me, I can do it."

In the past, Gu Yuebai wouldn't have dared to say such things. Just now, he discovered that he could easily see through the structure of Guo Xiaochang's ring, and he had a bold conjecture.

He can see through wool. He needs to try it.

"Mom, I need to go home first. Are you okay at the hospital?"

Shen Ling said, "I can manage. The nurses at the hospital are all very kind. They bring me meals, and they're always happy to help if I need anything. Go ahead, don't rush, don't do anything. You're my only child, you're my only hope..."

"Don't worry, I won't sell my kidney. I'm afraid of the pain," Gu Yuebai smiled.
