Chapter 387: Chapter 387 Heavenly Fortune (29)
Xinnan Hospital’s reputation kept growing.
Patients who came to Xinnan Hospital not only paid less but also enjoyed VIP-like treatment, which made some of them reluctant to leave.
Xinnan Hospital’s wards were in urgent demand.
Li Minhang was so worried he was nearly losing his hair.
Li Minhang finally caught up with Chuzheng, who hadn’t shown up for several months.
“Renovate.”
Li Minhang hadn’t finished reporting when Chuzheng blurted out those two words.
“…”
He wanted to talk about policy issues, but why did it change when it got to her?
“Renovation is also fine. We’re right next to an old neighborhood that could be demolished, but the money…”
Li Minhang had already started calculating how much it would cost.
“No, boss, this can’t go on.” Li Minhang snapped back: “Those people aren’t sick yet they’re staying in the hospital, that’s a waste of resources.”
Chuzheng thought in silence for a few seconds: “Then beat them up.”
Li Minhang: “???”
Chuzheng added leisurely: “That way they can continue to stay.”
How am I so clever.
“…” The boss must be from the underworld, right? That’s a blatant threat!
Li Minhang didn’t dare to bring up the issue again for fear that Chuzheng would immediately have him go and hit someone.
He’d better solve this problem himself.
“Boss, are we really going to buy land for expansion?”
“When have I ever joked?”
“Um…” With the boss being so wealthy and assertive, Li Minhang felt helpless.
Chuzheng sent Li Minhang, who still wanted to continue talking, away and prepared to look for her Good Person Card.
At the end of the hospital corridor, a youth stood unnoticed until now.
The youth had bright golden hair and a handsome face that seemed as if it had stepped right out of a Greek myth—an Angel.
Yet strangely, the doctors and nurses passing through the corridor seemed unable to see him.
Chuzheng recognized him.
Her original Angel tutor.
The youth took a step forward, and with a light wave in the air, an invisible barrier seemed to surround them, isolating them from the world.
“Chuzheng.”
The youth stood still in front of her.
Chuzheng looked at him expressionlessly.
“It seems something unfortunate has happened,” the youth said, not minding her attitude and asking casually, “What happened?”
It was only natural for the tutor to come down to check, as the original owner of the body hadn’t returned for such a long time.
Chuzheng calmly replied, “Encountered a Fallen Angel.”
“Oh?” The youth’s eyebrows raised slightly, and it seemed as if there were golden lights flowing in his eyes: “Where is that Fallen Angel now?”
“Captured.”
“Captured by whom?” The youth asked with interest.
“Human.”
The youth’s gaze became scrutinizing: “Chuzheng, you have learned to lie.”
Chuzheng: “…”
It was indeed caught by humans, how was she lying now?
“Do you know why you initially recognized the wrong person?” the youth suddenly asked.
It wasn’t me who recognized the wrong person, how would I know?
“Because Sang Meng made Chuu Wu see you, and so you believed it,” the youth seemed to know everything that happened below.
“Humans always say Angels are easy to deceive, and I seem to understand why they say that looking at you.”
“But you were also unlucky to encounter a Fallen Angel.”
“Sang Meng has already harmed several of our Angels, and I didn’t expect her to fall into your hands in the end.”
Chuzheng finally got a word in: “If you knew about her, why didn’t you deal with her?”
Are you keeping that mutt around for New Year?
“Fallen Angels are not our responsibility to manage.”
“She killed Angels.”
“That can only be blamed on their bad luck, and their lack of strength.”
“…”
I need to revise my understanding of Angels.
The youth’s smile lifted at the corners of his mouth as he explained to Chuzheng: “Fallen Angels are still Angels; they abandon the deity and fall into darkness, sadly the God of Darkness does not welcome them, so to gain power, they must constantly plunder the power of us Angels.”
“Otherwise…”
“They will die.”
The young man had a smile on his handsome face, but his voice was chillingly cold.
It made one’s spine shiver.
Is this an angel?
Or is he a pervert?
“Oh.”
Chuzheng responded indifferently.
Just for that, that damn thing chopped off my wings!
The young man seemed somewhat dissatisfied with Chuzheng’s reaction, but he said nothing more.
He strode forward, passing by Chuzheng, “When will you finish the task? We are waiting for you to come back.”
“I’m not going back.”
“Chuzheng, it’s not up to you to decide. You are an angel, and even if you die, you have to come back.”
The young man’s figure gradually dissipated.
“Finish the assessment early, and I will come to pick you up.”
“…”
Who agreed to that!!
–
Chuzheng didn’t take this matter to heart and continued her days of squandering money, stroking cats, and drinking red goji berries in a thermal mug like an old person caring for their health.
Perhaps because her power had returned, Chu Wu’s luck began to improve, and his reputation started to grow.
Everyone at the hospital knew that their director and boss had some unspeakable secrets.
Therefore, even though the director was very attractive, no one dared to entertain thoughts about him.
And when the young doctor who had switched jobs heard this news, he nearly choked on his water.
He had thought the director had come out of the closet.
But it turned out… he was being kept…
He did guess one thing right, at least.
The young doctor couldn’t have imagined that the girl who was once a patient at their hospital had transformed into the owner of Xinnan Hospital.
Truly, appearances can be deceiving.
When she had gone to the hospital before, it couldn’t have been for an undercover investigation, right?
Still, her injury was a bit strange…
After finishing a meeting, Chu Wu refused to chat idly with the young doctor and upon entering saw Chuzheng lying on his office desk, clutching the tip of her own wings.
Chu Wu quickly shut the door behind him.
Had she gone mad?
She even dared to expose her wings in public.
Chu Wu put down his things, took a coat, and draped it over her.
No sooner had he covered her than Chuzheng woke up.
“Why are you sleeping here?” asked Chu Wu. “What if you catch a cold?”
“Angels don’t catch colds.” Now she certainly wasn’t the weakling she used to be. How could she possibly catch a cold, what a joke!
“…” Chu Wu choked for a moment, “Put your wings away, what if someone sees them?”
Chuzheng withdrew her wings.
Chu Wu leaned against the desk, “Don’t you get tired of waiting here for me every day?”
“Hm?” Chuzheng looked up, a slight expectation in her heart, “Are you going to quit your job to keep me company at home? I have money.”
Chuzheng’s tone was serious, not seeming jestful.
She really wanted him to stay at home with her all the time.
Sometimes, Chu Wu even felt like she wanted to imprison him…
Chu Wu startled himself with the notion.
After all, she hadn’t done anything too excessive.
Yet, he still had that feeling.
However, even if Chuzheng truly wanted to imprison him, deep down he was willing.
But…
He reached out to touch Chuzheng’s cheek, his eyes softening, “If I don’t do anything… I’ll feel like I’m really useless.”
The girl blinked her eyes.
In her clear and indifferent pupils, his reflection was mirrored.
Her lips, the color of pale cherry blossoms, parted slightly, “You are useful to me.”
Chu Wu paused, “Am I that important to you?”
Chuzheng nodded without hesitation, “Mm.” The Good Person Card was of course important.
The girl’s gaze lifted toward him, her eyes brimming with his image.
Chu Wu’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
He bent down slightly, pressing a kiss onto the girl’s lips.
