NOVEL NEXT Chapter 149 Rescue?
Guided by Old Li, Wang Ye headed down a secluded corridor, feeling quite puzzled and unsure about what Old Li wanted to discuss with him.
Once they reached the secluded corridor, Wang Ye turned to Grandpa Li and asked, "Grandpa Li, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Child,"
Old Li looked at Wang Ye with concern in his eyes. "I can see that those two girls both have feelings for you."
"But I hope you won't hurt them," he added.
Upon hearing Old Li's words, Wang Ye immediately knew what Old Li was getting at.
Even though Wang Ye knew that Old Li needn't worry about such things, as he was well aware of them himself,
still, Wang Ye listened as Old Li spoke, playing along.
"Grandfather knows that you capable folks may have not just one woman by your side, but several," said Old Li. "I'm not going to force you on this matter."
"But I just hope that you won't hurt others. If you don't like a girl, just tell her straight away. Don't lead her on," he advised.
"A girl liking you is her appreciation of you. As humans, we absolutely shouldn't let others down or hurt them," he imparted.
"..."
And so, after talking with Wang Ye for about five or six minutes and seeing that Wang Ye replied with sincerity, taking his words to heart, Old Li felt relieved.
He then said to Wang Ye, "Alright, if that's the case, let's join them now."
"Wait a second, Grandpa Li."
This time, it was Wang Ye who stopped Old Li.
Old Li looked at Wang Ye and asked, "What is it?"
Wang Ye took out a piece of paper and a bank card and said to Old Li, "Grandpa Li, you might not have seen this, but this card was left for you by my father. You should take this card."
Wang Ye didn't tell Old Li how much money was on the card,
and deliberately wiped off the amount written on the paper,
fearing that if Old Li knew how much was in the bank account, he would refuse to accept the card.
Listening to Wang Ye's words, however, Old Li pushed the bank card back to him and said, "I've actually known about this card for a long time."
"It's just that I've never used this card, that's all," he revealed.
"I didn't take the card before, and I'm not going to take it now either," he declared.
With those words from Old Li,
Wang Ye was a bit shocked.
So, Old Li had known all along about the existence of this bank card,
but simply chose not to use it.
Upon reflection, Wang Ye also felt at ease.
Indeed, that was the case.
After all, the bank card and the envelope were just underneath Old Li's bed; Su Wanqing had merely flipped through it and found the card.
And Old Li, having resided there for so long, how could he possibly not have discovered that bank card?
It was just that Old Li had never used it.
Thinking of this, Wang Ye grew even more appreciative of Old Li.
He was deeply moved.
Old Li was not blood-related to the Wang family, yet he had helped the Wangs guard their home in Xi County for so many years, and never took a penny in return.
"Okay, if you're not going to take the money, then we'll use it to build a few non-profit nursing homes, so that more elderly people can have a place to go," Wang Ye knew that since the bank card had been with Old Li for so long without him using it, whatever he said next, Old Li would not touch the funds.
So, without further persuasion, Wang Ye spoke up directly, proposing a use for the ten million.
Seeing the satisfaction on Old Li's face and the pat on his shoulder, Wang Ye felt that his solution had pleased the old man: "That would be fine, that would be fine."
Wang Ye and Old Li walked out of the corridor, heading towards Su Wanqing when suddenly, a frantic voice rang out:
"Excuse me, please move aside, make way!"
"Please, I beg you all to move aside, my child is badly injured, please make way!"
A middle-aged woman was following behind a stretcher being wheeled, with two doctors and several nurses rushing along the corridor with a patient, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child on the stretcher.
The middle-aged woman followed behind, her face filled with urgency, tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked at her son with intense heartache.
Wang Ye, observing the child's injured leg, stepped forward, halting the doctors and nurses pushing the stretcher.
"What are you doing?"
Before the doctors and nurses could even speak, the middle-aged woman charged up, yelling at Wang Ye: "Move aside quickly, my son's leg is injured, you're blocking the way here, if you delay the best time to treat my son's leg, can you afford that? Can you?"
As she spoke, the middle-aged woman tried to push Wang Ye aside.
However, Wang Ye stood firm, like a rock, and the middle-aged woman's push failed to move him.
Seeing Wang Ye stop these people, Old Li hurried over, grabbing Wang Ye's arm and saying urgently: "Kid, what are you doing? They are trying to save a life, and you've stopped them, if something happens, how can that be good?"
Old Li looked very anxious, not understanding why Wang Ye had suddenly stopped the others.
Su Wanqing, Fang Feifei, and Tan Long all knew that Wang Ye was extremely skilled in medicine, so when Wang Ye stopped the other party, they knew what he intended to do.
Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei exchanged glances, sparks flashing in their eyes.
Then, both approached Old Li.
Simultaneously supporting Old Li's arm, they began to explain:
"Grandpa Li, don't worry. The reason why Wang Ye stopped them is that he wants to save someone," Fang Feifei spoke first.
"Save someone?"
Hearing Fang Feifei's words, Old Li felt very puzzled.
Wang Ye's actions seemed to have delayed the other party's treatment, so how could it be said that he was saving someone?
Not having had the chance to speak earlier, Su Wanqing now said: "You may not know, but Wang Ye is very skilled in medicine; he won first place in the Yun City Medical Competition."
"Alright then," Old Li finally felt relieved.
Wang Ye, looking at the middle-aged woman, said to her: "That's your son, right? His injury is very severe already. If his leg is not treated now, it might become untreatable."
