Chapter 296 - 294: Will We Meet Again?
"Oh, that’s fine then. I understand my own body; today I really feel comfortable, my Qi is smooth, and my heart rate is normal. There shouldn’t be any major issues." Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"Wow, not bad. For someone so young, you know a lot. I’m really impressed." The doctor was somewhat surprised by Chen Tianlong’s professional words.
"Hehe, I know a little about medicine." Chen Tianlong said modestly.
After the doctor left, Chen Tianlong informed the nurse, asking her to help with the discharge procedures. Since it was the director’s order, the nurse did not delay and quickly took care of it for Chen Tianlong.
At around five o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Tianlong was ready to leave the ward. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Out of caution, Chen Tianlong deliberately called out, "Who is it?"
"Chen Tianlong, it’s me, Huang Ziyan."
At this moment, Huang Ziyan’s sweet voice came from outside. Chen Tianlong had talked with Huang Ziyan for a long time before, and her voice was still recognizable.
"Come in!" Chen Tianlong called out directly.
Huang Ziyan pushed the door open, followed by three people: Uncle Kang, her assistant, and two other people, who should be her bodyguards.
After this incident, Huang Ziyan’s manager took her safety very seriously. Originally, she wasn’t supposed to visit the hospital, especially with a flight at eight tonight, hoping to avoid any accidents.
However, Huang Ziyan felt that since Chen Tianlong had risked his life to save her, now that she was leaving, she should at least come to say goodbye, if not visit him.
Seeing Chen Tianlong able to get out of bed, the stone in Huang Ziyan’s heart finally fell.
Although she had heard early on that Chen Tianlong was out of danger, her heart was still filled with worry, but now that she saw him safe and sound, a faint smile appeared on her face.
Uncle Kang, standing aside, knew that Huang Ziyan had special feelings for Chen Tianlong, so he closed the ward door, giving them a private space.
"Chen Tianlong, how are your injuries?" Huang Ziyan looked at Chen Tianlong deeply and said, "I... I’m about to leave South Sea City."
"Haha, I’m fine now."
Chen Tianlong smiled slightly and said, "Then, have a safe trip!"
After hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Huang Ziyan felt an indescribable helplessness. She had an inexplicable feeling toward Chen Tianlong, but calling it love seemed too soon.
But she at least knew it was something she wanted, something wordless without any return, yet touching enough to move people to tears.
"Will we... meet again?"
Huang Ziyan took a deep breath, feeling reluctant, but more so helpless. Ever since she started down this irreversible path, she had to give up many things to pursue her dreams.
"If fate allows, we will meet again."
Chen Tianlong said calmly, without joy or sorrow.
Huang Ziyan turned around, and tears uncontrollably fell. Chen Tianlong froze, wondering if he had said something wrong. He couldn’t understand a woman’s feelings.
Soon she would leave a man who had once saved her life without knowing her background, a man who had risked his life for her.
Compared to the scheming faces in the Capital City, those competing for the Hao Family’s wealth, she preferred Chen Tianlong, genuinely from her heart.
"Ziyan, are you okay?"
Seeing something was amiss, Chen Tianlong quickly walked over.
Just at that moment, Huang Ziyan suddenly turned around and threw herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms, crying like a child.
Chen Tianlong’s mouth opened wide in surprise. He never expected the big star Huang Ziyan to cry in his arms; what was going on?
"Uh... Ziyan, don’t cry. Your makeup will be ruined and you won’t be as pretty."
Chen Tianlong comforted her, but immediately felt that it sounded wrong; what did he mean by saying she wouldn’t be pretty without makeup? Wasn’t she already pretty?
"Haha, what I mean is, even with ruined makeup, you’re still pretty. Hehe, Ziyan is always beautiful." Chen Tianlong quickly corrected himself.
"Ha, really?"
Hearing Chen Tianlong’s words, Huang Ziyan began to smile slowly despite her sadness. Both were still young, and there would still be opportunities to meet in the future, especially since Chen Tianlong was still in high school, and the road ahead was long.
"Of course, it’s the truth." Chen Tianlong said firmly.
"Thank you!"
Other than this sentence, although Huang Ziyan had plenty to say, it wasn’t the right time. At this age, what kind of promises could they really make? It’s not realistic.
After sending off Huang Ziyan, Chen Tianlong left the hospital, where Mr. Hu’s car was already waiting downstairs.
"Huh? Mr. Hu, how did you know I was getting discharged today?" Chen Tianlong asked, somewhat surprised.
"Such a small matter, you think it could stump Mr. Hu? Haha... It’s good to see you’re fine, Chen Tianlong. President Chen was worried sick about you. He wanted to come see you in the morning, but after knowing the young lady was here, we decided not to. Later, I called your attending doctor and knew you’d completed your discharge procedures, so here we are at the entrance, waiting. Even Huang Ziyan came to see you; you’re a lucky guy."
The implication of Mr. Hu’s last sentence left Chen Tianlong a bit puzzled, but none of that mattered anymore. Chen Tianlong thought about it and decided to get in the car, saying, "Mr. Hu, take me back to school."
"Alright."
Though Mr. Hu was eager to know the full story, seeing that Chen Tianlong looked tired, he chose not to disturb him further and took him back to school.
Hao Family Mansion.
In Hao Shuai’s room, Zhou Qianghan sat on the sofa, took a deep drag of his cigarette, and finally spoke, "Damn it, if it weren’t for someone’s interference, I’d have killed that kid today."
"It’s good you didn’t; otherwise, it would have led to big trouble."
Hao Shuai took a deep breath and continued, "Qianghan, you were too impulsive. You shouldn’t have kept this from me. Don’t you know what it means to leave some green hills so there will be wood to burn? If you had killed Chen Tianlong today, do you know the consequences?"
"Humph, I care nothing about consequences. He must pay with his life for Tiger Army’s death." Zhou Qianghan said through gritted teeth.
"Revenge, we will get, but it’s not the right time. There are countless ways to take revenge, and you don’t need to choose such a foolish method."
Hao Shuai was genuinely speechless. The Zhou Qianghan he knew before wasn’t like this. Now, he seemed blinded by righteous anger and hatred.
"What do you mean by foolish? Tell me, boss."
Zhou Qianghan inhaled deeply, clearly unconvinced. Just because he didn’t succeed in killing someone, what’s the big deal?
"The hospital is full of cameras. You think you could get away with killing Chen Tianlong? And do you really think the police are a joke? Didn’t you notice yesterday’s incident wasn’t simple? That’s Zhao Bing, you know who he is, right? We’ve dealt with him for so many years. You really think he doesn’t know anything? You’re ridiculously naive."
Hao Shuai didn’t want to scold, but Zhou Qianghan disappointed him so much, having courage without wisdom, causing trouble without knowing it.
