Chapter 9
The top priority was to find Chen Wei first.
Wu Liang recalled the tracking card, which he had previously called a chicken rib, unlocked in the mall.
At this point, only the tracking card could help him find Chen Wei quickly.
Heart bleeding, he gritted his teeth and exchanged a tracking card worth 5,000 Hope coins in the mall.
"Call–"
A strong gust of wind circled Wu Liang.
Wu Liang opened his eyes and found himself standing on the edge of a rooftop.
Watching the crowd of people and cars under his feet, Wu Liang's legs went soft and he took two steps back.
Unexpectedly, Chen Wei had gone directly to the top of the building.
-98% of the hope, what came next was suicide.
Wu Liang wiped the cold sweat off his head and quickly searched for Chen Wei, but he couldn't find him.
Where was Chen Wei?
Sweat dripped from Wu Liang's forehead again.
"Brother Wu Liang, why are you here?" Chen Wei's low voice came from behind Wu Liang.
Wu Liang turned sharply. Chen Wei was standing at the doorway to the rooftop, looking at him in surprise.
It seemed that Chen Wei was one step behind him and had just come up.
"I came for some fresh air. Brother Chen, what a coincidence, why are you here? What's wrong?" Wu Liang smiled at Chen Wei.
"I also came up for some hair." Chen Wei said tiredly. "Just now, Gao Qi called my mother. My mother fainted directly in the hospital and is now in the emergency room."
Gao Qi? How could this be?
He had used a trust card at noon and told her that he didn't know Chen Wei. Why did she suddenly make this call to Chen Wei's mother?
Seeing Wu Liang frowning, Chen Wei looked into the distance and said bitterly, "I really don't understand. Why did she call my mother on this phone?"
Wu Liang was puzzled and comforted with a warm voice, "Brother Chen, aunt will be fine. I will stay with you until any news about her arrives. You must not do anything stupid."
Chen Wei restarted his phone with a bitter smile, shook his head and said, "Relax, I won't jump down. Before I die, I will arrange for my parents and pay off all the debts."
Wu Liang exhausted everything and constantly comforted Chen Wei, but Chen Wei's hope value was always frozen at -98% and remained unchanged.
Chen Wei nervously waited for an hour, and the two finally got a phone call from Bingcheng Hospital. Chen Wei's mother had suffered from syncope due to emotional excitement.
(T/N: Syncope: temporary loss of consciousness caused by a fall in blood pressure)
Then, they heard about the content of Gao QI's phone call from Chen Wei's mother.
In a harsh tone, Gao Qi told Chen Wei's mother that she had broken up with Chen Wei, and she is now engaged to someone else. She said that she hoped the Chen family could learn a little shame, and not pursue her
Gao Qi also said that the money that Chen Wei originally spent was purely voluntary. Even if Chen Wei 's father had liver cancer, she won't give even a penny to him. Before hanging up, Gao Qi viciously cursed Chen Wei's father to ascend to heaven soon.
Chen Wei's mother had stayed at her husband's side every day. She was already saddened and exhausted. Gao Qi's ruthless words were a fatal blow and stunned the kind, old lady.
When the old lady woke up, she quickly asked her husband to help her son to give a phone call, and briefly explained the reason for her fainting. Then she began to persuade Chen Wei not to worry about herself.
The old lady told Chen Wei that some men and women in the world are destined to have no fate. When they are together, they must treat each other sincerely, and when these feelings are gone, there was no need for them to be together.
The old lady also said that for the money spent on treating Gao Qi 's father, Chen Wei didn't have to be distressed, the money was gone, and he could make money again. Not to mention when he rescued Gao 's father, it was when the two were in a strong relations.h.i.+p. Chen Wei had done his part as a faithful lover. The son who had done such a good deed was the pride of the old couple.
Finally, the old lady asked Chen Wei to find a job in Jicheng with a peaceful mind, saying that the treatment fee of 100,000 yuan he had given was sufficient enough. Chen Wei needn't return to Bingcheng.
The old lady said earnestly to Chen Wei that his friend had willingly lent Chen Wei's 100,000 yuan for the emergency. This friend trusted Chen Wei. 100,000 yuan was not a small amount. Chen Wei should find a job as soon as possible, to pay back the money. Such deep friends.h.i.+p should be valued.
Chen Wei choked up as tears filled his eyes. He couldn't speak and just nodded silently.
In the end, Chen Wei said hoa.r.s.ely, "Mom, don't worry, I will try to find a job. Everything will be fine."
After the old lady hung up the phone, Chen Wei's legs gave out and he fell to the floor, sobbing.
The old lady's words had actually raised Chen Wei's hope directly to 60%.
Chen Wei's task had been completed in such an incredible way.
Wu Liang and Chen Wei had dinner together. After confirming that Chen Wei's mood had improved greatly, he dropped Chen Wei back to his home. He secretly checked the neighborhood and found a few hidden places for future convenience. It was time to bid farewell to Chen Wei.
The dull sensation in his upper abdomen had completely disappeared, and the previously long-lost feeling of relaxation and comfort prevailed.
Hope Coffee House had fulfilled its promise. Wu Liang has been rewarded for completing his task, 30 days without illness and injury.
Wu Liang lay on the bed in the staff lounge, repeatedly watching the video that he had shot. His heart was not happy at all. Doubts kept arising at the back of his mind.
Trust cards bought from the system store would be wrong.
Although Gao Qi suspected that the engagement banquet was destroyed because of him, he had used a trust card to convince her that he did not know Chen Wei. Then why did Gao Qi call Chen Wei's mother?
Gao Qi 's father had died. After Chen Wei exhausted his savings, Gao Qi had no use value, so Gao Qi found a new fiance, local tyc.o.o.n Deng Gao, in just one month.
Chen Wei hadn't asked Gao Qi for hundreds of thousands of yuan, so why should Gao Qi provoke Chen Wei's parents?
Wu Liang became more and more puzzled. In the video, the host has asked with a dry smile: "Why do you want to get engaged with Mr. Deng?"
"Get engaged, dump him. I want to make him lose his face, feel ashamed and mad,"
Gao Qi said this after Wu Liang had used the truth card.
Engaged with Deng Gao, but not for money?
Was she trying to make Deng Gao angry?
What about all she did to Chen Wei?
Was it all just a game for her?
Wu Liang felt depressed in an instant.
Then what did the kindness and generosity of the Chen family amount for?
This world shouldn't be this twisted.
Ding.
A system prompt sounded into Wu Liang's mind: "New additional task generated, please check and decide whether to accept the task."
Wu Liang quickly looked at the system panel in his head.
Additional task: Find out all the crimes of Gao Qi within 30 days and make her desirous. (The value should drop to -100%)
Restrictions on missions: Not allowed to use the truth card.
Mission reward: 30 days without illness and injury.
Tips: The additional tasks are encouraging tasks, and there is no penalty for the host if the task fails.
You want the Hope value to drop to -100%?
'Just what I want.'
Wu Liang's thin lips curled up in a cold smile, and he accepted the additional task without hesitating.
The additional task instantly appeared in Wu Liang's taskbar, and Gao Qi's hope value also appeared in the taskbar. To Wu Liang's surprise, Gao Qi's hope value turned out to be 0%.
