From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

These words completely crossed my bottom line.

My eyes suddenly turned cold: "Li Meng, you have no right to mention my mother, much less the right to lecture me!"

Li Meng's face instantly turned ashen. She glared at me, gritted her teeth, and nodded.

"Fine! I guess I was just being nosy, my good intentions were completely wasted! We'll see, I want to see if you'll have the nerve to come begging to me in the end!"

After saying that, she angrily flung her arm away and stormed out of the ward, seething with anger.

I couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her; I knew why she was there the moment she entered the ward.

Wasting so much breath on her is already the limit of my tolerance.

It seems Fang Heng hasn't given up yet!

When soft tactics didn't work, he resorted to underhanded ones, even instructing his ex-girlfriend to come back and trick me into getting back together. His methods were despicable and vile.

But he probably won't waste any more words on me, and I wonder what despicable methods he'll use to target me next.

I'm too lazy to think about it too much. First of all, I didn't provoke him; he was the one who started the trouble.

Since he insists on driving me to the brink of destruction, I have no choice but to play along and see it through to the end.

The next morning, after a follow-up examination by the doctor, I found nothing seriously wrong and was able to be discharged.

Looking at the payment slip, I realized that after medical insurance reimbursement, I only had to pay a little over a thousand yuan out of pocket.

Although it's not a lot, it still hurts to see such a small business like mine suffer.

But I also know that those thugs last night were just a bunch of penniless greenhorns, and even if we hold them accountable, they probably won't be able to come up with any money to compensate us.

To gather more evidence, I went straight to the local police station after being discharged from the hospital.

The police officers took me into the interrogation room, where I recounted the entire incident of being provoked and assaulted with a knife last night.

After giving my statement, I asked the police officer, "Officer, I'd like to ask, in cases like theirs, what will the final sentence be?"

While organizing the statement, the police officer replied in a deep voice, "Malicious harassment in public and intentional assault with a knife are two charges that will be punished concurrently. The principal offender's circumstances are egregious, and he will most likely serve several years in prison. The other accomplices will be sentenced by the court based on their degree of involvement and the severity of their offenses."

I nodded slightly, then asked the question that concerned me most: "Can they reimburse me for the more than one thousand yuan in medical expenses I incurred during this hospitalization?"

"Don't worry about that. When the court holds a trial, it will include a civil suit, ordering the suspects to cover all your medical expenses."

"Okay, thank you, officer." I felt a little relieved and thanked him.

The police officer glanced at my injuries and advised, "Young man, go home and take good care of your injuries. If you encounter someone wielding a knife in the future, run away if you can avoid them. Never fight back. Safety first."

I sighed helplessly, "I wanted to run too, but there were too many of them and they were carrying knives, so there was no way I could escape."

The police officer shook his head and said in a deep voice, "We will increase nighttime security patrols in urban villages to prevent such serious incidents as much as possible. You should also pay more attention to your safety in your daily lives."

I nodded in agreement, and after confirming that all the formalities were completed, I turned and left the police station.

I took a taxi back to the courier station, and as soon as I entered, I saw a familiar scene.

Su Qing was sitting casually in my office chair, her legs propped up high on the edge of the desk, an ice pop dangling from her mouth, leisurely playing on her phone with her head down.

I've already come in, but she hasn't noticed and is engrossed in playing on her phone.

I tiptoed behind her, glanced down at my phone screen, and was instantly surprised.

I really didn't expect that such a delicate and beautiful girl would be playing Honor of Kings.

Moreover, he was playing the reckless Cheng Yaojin, and his jungling skills looked exceptionally smooth and proficient.

I stood behind her for a moment, watching as her teammates pushed to the enemy's high ground while she was still leisurely farming jungle camps. I couldn't help but mutter a complaint:

"Your teammates have already pushed to the high ground, and you're still wandering in the jungle? You're so bad!"

The sudden sound startled Su Qing so much that her hands trembled violently, and she almost dropped her phone.

She shuddered, turned around abruptly, and when she saw it was me, her face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"Oh my god! You scared me to death! When did you get back? There wasn't a sound!"

"I was standing right here when you stole the enemy's red buff," I joked with a laugh.

Su Qing looked incredulous, blinking her big eyes: "Then how come I didn't notice anything at all?"

I rolled my eyes at her: "Who told you to be so engrossed in playing? You wouldn't even notice if a thief broke into the store."

Su Qing stuck out her tongue and whispered in defense, "It's just that there's no one in the shop and I'm bored, so I secretly played a couple of rounds to relax."

"Finish the game quickly, don't drag your teammates down." I waved my hand helplessly.

She immediately turned her head to concentrate on the operation, and after a short while, the word "Victory" popped up on the screen.

She put away her phone, immediately stood up from her chair, and asked with concern, "Why were you discharged from the hospital? Couldn't you have stayed a couple more days to recover?"

"It's just a regular knife wound. Once it's stitched up, it'll be fine. Staying in the hospital is just a waste of money," I replied casually.

Her gaze fell on my bandaged abdomen, examined it carefully for a moment, and then she quickly offered me her office chair.

"Sit down. Look at your face, it's all pale. You should get some rest."

"Oh, so thoughtful and considerate today?" I teased her with a smile.

Su Qing immediately seized the opportunity, her face beaming with arrogance: "Of course! Since I'm being so considerate, shouldn't you give me a raise as a reward?"

I was used to her ungrateful nature, so I shook my head with a helpless smile and asked seriously:

"By the way, what are you doing in the store? Weren't you out meeting with merchants?"

"Aren't you still in the hospital? They've all gone out to deliver goods; how can the store be left unattended?"

I thought to myself, it can't be that busy. I haven't signed contracts for those big orders yet, and those ten cars outside are all parked properly.

I asked, puzzled, "Is the store very busy today? What kind of business are you getting?"

Su Qing seemed to be unaware of the situation either, and frowned as she said, "I heard from your cousin that a nearby courier station went out of business, and all their individual customer orders and regional business have been transferred to our store."

"What? The courier station next door went out of business?" I was completely taken aback.

This news came so suddenly. I was only gone for a day, and such a big change happened.

"I don't know the specific details either, I didn't ask." Su Qing shrugged.

As she spoke, she grabbed her small bag and said to me, "Now that you're back, I'm going out to run some business."

"Okay, be careful outside," I reminded him.

"Okay!"

Su Qing had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at me with a sly smile: "By the way, boss, could you sponsor me some more funding? The money I had before isn't enough."

"I've already given you two thousand, and you're just buying some small gifts, isn't that enough?"

"This isn't enough! This is a lead generation campaign; if it succeeds, the subsequent revenue will be at least dozens of times greater!"

Seeing her confident demeanor, I didn't ask any more questions: "How much more do you want?"

Su Qing held up a slender finger and chuckled, "Just one thousand! I won't ask for more!"

Without hesitation, I transferred 1,000 yuan to her directly.

I don't know the specific details of her operation, nor do I know whether the money will be used for the right things, but I choose to trust her.
