    Sun Zhengyang said: I am glad you are like this so that I can feel at ease. One should have pride in their character but not in their attitude. If one is not as good as others, one is not as good. One should accept with humility rather than be haughty and proud, or else one will achieve nothing.

    Sun GaoXing said: "I understand, father!"

    Sun Zhengyang said: "Let's go back as well."

    Li Xiaobei hasn't arrived at the hotel yet by car.

    Mo Wenjie's phone rang, he took out his mobile phone and saw it was An Yixuan's call. He immediately picked up the phone: "Mo Wenjie, haven't you come back yet? When are you coming back?"

    Mo Wenjie said: I plan to go back tomorrow, what do you need?

    An Yixuan said: My mother's condition is critical; she might not make it much longer. Can't you come back faster?

    Mo Wenjie said: Don't worry, take your time and tell me what happened.

    An Yixuan said: My father called me yesterday and said my mother's condition had worsened. I went to the county hospital yesterday. The doctor said my mother's condition was not optimistic and we should be mentally prepared. It was some sort of complication. Today my mom has vomited blood, it scared me to death. Can't you come back faster?

    Mo Wenjie said: Alright, I'll go back now.

    He hung up the phone and said: Xiao Bei, help me book a ticket. I have to go back now.

    Li Xiaobei said: Uncle wasn't it agreed that you'd go back tomorrow? How can you go back now? My dad has already planned to have a welcome dinner for you tonight.

    Mo Wenjie said: A friend of mine's mother is seriously ill and her condition has worsened, which might put her life in danger. I need to go back to help treat her mother.

    Li Xiaobei said: Alright, I'll book a ticket for you.

    Zhou Qianqian said: I've already booked the ticket, and it's taking off in one and a half hours.

    Mo Wenjie said: You two can have some fun here for a few days; I'll head back first.

    Zhou Qianqian said: I've booked a ticket for three people. If Xueqing sister wants to play here for a few days, she can stay here for a few days before heading back.

    Su Xueqing said: I also have to go back to work.

    Mo Wenjie said: Xiao Bei, let's go to the airport now. I'll call your dad.

    Li Xiaobei said: There's still plenty of time, uncle. Why are you in such a rush? It only takes half an hour from here to the airport, and there's still one and a half hours to go. There's more than enough time.

    Mo Wenjie said: Don't say so much nonsense. Let's go to the airport now. He took out his mobile phone and called Li Yugang.

    Li Yugang said: Uncle, is there anything I can help you with?

    Mo Wenjie said: Yugang, my friend's mother is critically ill. I need to go help and save her. We will head back then. If there's anything, call me.

    Li Yugang said: Uncle, I still need to have a welcome dinner for you tonight. You saved Xiao Bei's life. I haven't had a chance to thank you yet. It feels like a guilt to me that you're leaving like this!

    Mo Wenjie said: What are you talking about, Yugang? I'm your younger uncle. We're family. Saving Xiao Bei is what I should do. Just remember we're family when there's something. Alright, let's not waste any more time; saving a life is the most important!

    Li Yugang said: I understand, goodbye, younger uncle!

    Li Xiaobei drove to the airport. It took half an hour to arrive there.

    Li Xiaobei said: Uncle, do you have any time I could come visit you?

    Mo Wenjie said: If you have something to talk about, just call me. I don't even know where I'll be tomorrow, let alone find you.

    Li Xiaobei said: Uncle, with your medical skills, you should be able to buy a villa by now. Why don't you have a fixed home yet?

    Mo Wenjie said: I've come down the mountain for an adventure. An adventure means to roam the four corners of the world. How can one stay in one place for too long? The journey in the mortal world is to seek opportunities and breakthrough to the highest realm.

    Li Xiaobei said: It seems like we can only call you if we need help, uncle.

    Mo Wenjie said: You'll need to know where I am if you want to find me. In the future, focus on your studies and don't have a competitive spirit or show off. There are always people who are better than you and more vast skies beyond. You will understand that one day. Alright, go back now, we're about to board the plane. Goodbye!

    Zhou Qianqian said: Xiao Bei, when you go back to the capital, I'll treat you to a meal!

    Li Xiaobei: Absolutely! Thank you, uncle/auntie, goodbye!

    Li Xiaobei slammed the gas pedal and disappeared from view.

    The three people boarded the flight back.

    Zhou Qianqian said: Is Mr. Mo's mother's condition serious?

    Mo Wenjie said: I don't know. I only found out a few days ago that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer. It was the day your grandpa invited me to have dinner at Su's house. She called me while we were eating, right? I only told her about her family's situation after I went back home, as she had mentioned it to me later. Her mother had been diagnosed with cancer a year ago and had been taking medication to maintain her health. Because of her mother's illness, she took part-time jobs at the hotel as a front desk clerk during her holidays, but since the school was too far away, she shared an apartment with an upperclassman sister. Little did we know that her sister went on an internship in another city and left her alone in the apartment. That's how I came across renting from her because I happened to be looking for a place to rent at that time. On that day, the medication for her mother was almost gone, and her father called, asking for 20,000 yuan for the medication fees which really worried her. She didn't have the courage to borrow money from me and was overwhelmed by the pressure which made her in bad mood. When I asked about it, she only told me then. I planned to take a look at his mother's condition when I went back this time but never expected that she would be in critical condition!

    Su Xueqing said: In the past, my mother often had to be hospitalized, and I've encountered many such situations in the hospital. The medical expenses are too high to afford, and some people even have family conflicts and become enemies because of medical fees. It's really frustrating!

    Zhou Qianqian said: Medical expenses do indeed put a heavy burden on many families!

    Mo Wenjie said: This phenomenon is everywhere, even in foreign countries. I've encountered many such situations while I was practicing outside.

    Su Xueqing said: The gap between the rich and the poor is too big; this is a social phenomenon, there's no way around it!

    Mo Wenjie said: While traditional Chinese medicine can cure illnesses, truly good doctors of Chinese medicine are still found in the countryside. They don't have medical licenses and are forced to stop practicing. Patients must turn to Western medicine. Even if they go to see a Chinese doctor in the hospital, most of them don't actually take the pulse anymore. Now it's all CT scans and MRI, with many doctors just going through the motions. Unlicensed rural doctors are committing a crime, and some ancient techniques are lost as a result. Those without medical licenses have stood for thousands of years, but now just a little piece of paper has stopped many rural doctors from practicing. Whether it's a prescription or a secret formula, as long as it can cure illness, it's considered a good remedy!

    Zhou Qianqian said: Stop lamenting, it's time to get off the plane!

    The three people drove to the exit, and Fang Ling was already waiting there.

    Mo Wenjie said: You guys go back to the company. I'll take a taxi to An Yixuan's hometown.

    Su Xueqing said: I'll let the drivers bring two cars, and let them take you there. This way it will be more convenient.

    Mo Wenjie said: Alright, I'll go see An Yixuan's mother now, hoping it's not too late.

    Zhou Qianqian said: Let me accompany you to her mother's home, An Yixuan!

    Mo Wenjie said: You should still go back to the company with Su, I'm going to save a life. What do you want to do there?

    Zhou Qianqian said: Alright then, I'll wait here for you to come back!

    Mo Wenjie said: Look at my brain, here are two jade pendants. One for you and one for your grandfather. You should go back to Beijing!

    Zhou Qianqian said: You're so eager to make me leave?

    Mo Wenjie said: You can stay here and play if you want to, I don't have any right to make you leave!

    Mo Wenjie said: Let's go to Fangcheng County People's Hospital.

    The driver said: Got it, he slammed the gas pedal and left the airport.

    Zhou Qianqian shouted angrily: Mo Wenjie, you're a jerk! You're such a bad guy!

    Su Xueqing said: Qianqian sister, get in the car. He's already far away, and even if you yell at him, he won't be able to hear you!

    Zhou Qianqian said: I'll wait for him to come back and scold him to his face. Then I'll see if he can hear me or not.

    Su Xueqing laughed and said: You wouldn't dare to scold him in front of him, would you?

    Zhou Qianqian said: Who cares if he angered me? I'll scold him and see what happens.

    Su Xueqing said: Alright, alright, you can scold him however you want. Let's just go back first!

    Zhou Qianqian and Su Xueqing got in the car and returned to Feiyang Group Corporation.

    Li Yugang came home after work and saw Ding Yan and Li Xiaobei chatting. He asked, "Xiaobei, did your uncle say anything when he left?"

    Li Xiaobei said: Dad, you might need to step up further.

    Li Yugang said: Kids don't know anything. Do you think it's that easy to make a further step forward? It's very difficult to make a further step forward without significant achievements.

    Li Xiaobei said: For you, Dad, it's very difficult, but for my uncle, it's just a matter of a word.

    Li Yugang asked: What do you mean, Xiaobei?

    Li Xiaobei said: Dad, does the Roschideg investment project in Wuyang City count as a significant achievement?

    Li Yugang said: A project involving hundreds of billions of yuan in investment is definitely significant. However, the competition is fierce, and it's not easy for Wuyang City to secure this project.

    Li Xiaobei said: Dad, you don't know how amazing my uncle is.

    Li Yugang slapped Li Xiaobei on the head and said, "What are you talking about my uncle?"

    Li Xiaobei chuckled and said, "Excited, excited, I used the wrong words. My uncle's word can make the executive director of the Rothschild family in China die, I saw it with my own eyes. Then he recounted what happened at the hotel today.

    Li Yugang was also petrified after hearing it. He said, "That's why my uncle called me and said not to underestimate your uncle. His energy is beyond imagination. To be honest, my uncle said that even if Xiaobei stopped breathing, your uncle would have a way to revive him. I didn't believe it at all at that time. My uncle came to me, and I knelt down and kowtowed to him, one for the sake of my father, and the other for the sake of my uncle. It was only after Xiaobei came out of the emergency room safely that I believed in what my uncle said. My uncle is a genius. The second time I kneel down and kowtow to him was heartfelt respect for my uncle's sincere feelings for him. It seems that I still underestimated my uncle."

    Li Xiaobei said: Dad, the Rothschild family's investment projects in China must be approved by my uncle. For any project, my uncle has a veto power. Do you still fear competition from others? When your uncle left today and called you, did he say that if there's anything, you should call him because we're family? Did he tell you that there are things within the family that can't be said?

    Li Yugang said: That's what my uncle said. I'll call him in a few days.

    The driver parked the car at the entrance of Fangcheng County People's Hospital and said, "Mao, you're here!"
