Wei Ziqian asked, "What do you mean he saved you? If you weren't looking for him, you wouldn't have risked leaving the hotel."

Although Li Yan is Wei Ziqian's boss, Wei Ziqian and He Zhizhou have worked together for more than ten years, and their friendship is deep, which is far beyond Li Yan's comparison.

If only one of Li Yan and He Zhizhou could survive yesterday's accident, he would naturally hope that it would be He Zhizhou who survived.

He Zhizhou smiled but said nothing. Regardless of the reason for leaving the hotel, Li Yan had saved his life, but he didn't need to tell Wei Ziqian about this.

He Zhizhou asked, "Is everyone else okay?"

Wei Ziqian said, "Everything is fine. I've already called Chairman Li in China about the situation here. He's booked a flight and will be coming over." He looked at the time and continued, "He's already boarded the plane and will probably arrive tomorrow at noon."

He Zhizhou had anticipated Li Ronghua's arrival. After all, Li Yan was his son, and with such serious injuries, Li Ronghua, as a father, had to come and see his son's injuries.

After He Zhizhou finished the infusion, he went to the next ward to see Li Yan. Because the shot did not hit a vital part and the treatment was very timely, Li Yan is now in good condition.

When Li Yan saw He Zhizhou walk in, he forced a smile on his face. The two of them held each other's hands tightly. There was no need to say much. After this incident, they could be considered friends for life and death.

He Zhizhou sat down beside Li Yan's bed and expressed his confusion: "Didn't you say you were going back to your room to rest? Why did you leave the hotel again?"

Li Yan looked at He Zhizhou and thought for a moment before saying, "I thought I saw Xuan Bao that day, so I left the hotel to look for her. But when I chased her out, there were too many people on the street, and I lost her immediately."

"Xuanbao is here?" He Zhizhou stood up suddenly, but accidentally pulled the wound on his abdomen, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

Li Yan quickly tried to appease him: "I was a little drunk that day, so maybe I saw it wrongly."

The situation that day was so dangerous that even if there was only a one percent chance that the person was Li Xuanbao, He Zhizhou could not feel at ease.

He didn't care what Li Yan said next. He took out his cell phone and dialed Li Xuanbao's old phone number.

However, the phone rang just twice before the other party hung up.

He Zhizhou looked at the hung up phone, feeling mixed emotions, unable to describe what kind of mood he was in.

But fortunately, perhaps Li Xuanbao is still using this number, and she did not suffer any harm because of what happened yesterday.

Li Yan looked at the somewhat dejected He Zhizhou and said, "Zhizhou, I plan to return home after my injury heals."

He Zhizhou looked at him and asked, "Have you figured it out?"

Li Yan smiled bitterly and said slowly: "You don't know, when that bullet hit me, I really thought I was going to die.

At that moment, my mind went blank. What I thought about afterwards was not my career, but my parents, Xinlan, and my two children.

At that moment, I realized that in the face of life and death, everything else seemed so insignificant."

He Zhizhou patted Li Yan's shoulder gently and said, "It's great that you think so. I support your decision, but you have to find someone to take over the branch office here.

When this case is over, I will resign."

Li Yan knew that He Zhizhou would not be in this position for long, so he said, "I will tell my father."

The two people who were recuperating in the hospital at the time had no idea that they had become famous on the Internet.

That day, the scene of them bravely fighting the gunman in the alley was recorded by a citizen and posted on social media.

At the critical moment when the police failed to arrive in time and the criminals indiscriminately shot at ordinary people, these two men stepped forward and subdued the criminals. For foreigners who advocate personal heroism, such actions deeply touched their hearts.

Furthermore, in order to divert public accusations of poor security that led to heavy casualties, the local government welcomed this type of news promoting heroism and even increased the popularity of the news.

In this way, without Li Yan and He Zhizhou realizing it, the two of them quickly became famous.

The woman who was shot and rescued by He Zhizhou is a well-known reporter for the country's national newspaper and has many fans on social media platforms.

She used her own personal experience to testify to the heroic deeds of Li Yan and He Zhizhou.

It was not until Li Yan and He Zhizhou saw the ward filled with flowers that they realized they had become "national heroes."

The most unexpected benefit brought by Li Yan and He Zhizhou's popularity was that the Li Group won the lawsuit against Huanyu Automobile without any suspense.

After all, all cooperation procedures between the Li Group and Huanyu Auto are legal and compliant.

Furthermore, given the public's extreme admiration for Li Yan and He Zhizhou Ji, local judges dare not openly favor Huanyu Automobile. These judges also have to consider the impact.

Li Ronghua was caught off guard by this outcome. Looking at his son, who had been discharged from the hospital but still looked a little pale, he felt both happy about his victory and concerned about his son's injuries.

If he had a choice, he would never want to win the lawsuit at the cost of his son's injury.

Huanyu Auto paid more than 600 million US dollars in compensation to the Li Group, and Lucas Eason, who was in charge of the case, resigned.

The news of Li Group's victory spread back to China, sparking heated discussions among domestic netizens for a while, and Li Group's stocks also rose accordingly.

Now that the lawsuit is over, the legal team that came from China to provide support has returned home one after another, leaving only He Zhizhou and Li Yan still in the local area.

Li Ronghua looked at the two people in front of him and asked, "What are your plans? Are you going back to China, or do you have other plans?"

Li Yan looked at his father. Although he had originally decided to return to China, he had changed his mind and said, "Dad, I want to stay here. Although I won the lawsuit, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at the head office after I return to China."

I'll stay at the branch here. After all, I'm a bit well-known here now, so it'll be easier for me to get work done and I can get more preferential policies for the group here."

Li Ronghua looked at Li Yan. In his heart, he supported Li Yan's choice very much, but he still asked cautiously, "Are you sure you've made up your mind? Does Xinlan agree with you staying here?"

Li Yan nodded firmly. "I've made up my mind! I've discussed this with Xinlan. She also has her career here, and she thinks it's better for us to stay here and develop our business than to go back to China."

"Since you and Xinlan have discussed it, I respect your decision." Perhaps because of his experience of life and death, Li Ronghua felt that Li Yan was much more stable now and no longer as impatient as before. This was the most important reason why he agreed to let Li Yan stay here.

Then, Li Ronghua turned his gaze to He Zhizhou and asked, "Zhizhou, what about you?" After Li Ronghua arrived, Li Yan told him about how He Zhizhou risked his life to save him that day.

Facing He Zhizhou at this moment, Li Ronghua was filled with gratitude. "If you are willing, I can hire you as the group's legal advisor."

Because He Zhizhou led the Li Group's legal team to win the lawsuit against Huanyu Automobile, his reputation in China is now incomparable to what it was before. Before he even returned to China, many companies and law firms had already extended olive branches to him.

He Zhizhou smiled and declined: "Uncle, I want to rest for a while, and then go find Xuanbao."

Li Ronghua felt a little disappointed when he heard He Zhizhou's answer, but he still respected his decision very much: "Okay, I respect your decision. If you need any help from me in the future, please feel free to ask."

After staying in the local area for nearly two months and handling many matters of the branch office there, Li Ronghua flew back to China.

Time passed, and a year later, the car brand jointly developed by Xingchi Automobile and Li Group officially debuted on the market.

As the person in charge, Li Jiawei hosted this press conference that attracted attention both at home and abroad.

Li Ronghua and Liang Yusen sat in the audience, their eyes cast on Li Jiawei who was speaking confidently and calmly on the stage.

Li Ronghua couldn't help but be lost in thought. He whispered to Liang Yusen beside him, "I never thought Jiawei would make it this far."

While clapping, Liang Yusen said to Li Ronghua, "Second brother, Jiawei is outstanding. No one can match her tenacity.

Her glorious era has just begun."

Li Ronghua looked at Liang Yusen's undisguised admiration for Li Jiawei and was filled with emotion: "Yusen, I am not as good as you, you are her mentor.

You are right, her time has come, and we have already taken a back seat."

Li Xuanbao watched the entire new car product launch conference hosted by Li Jiawei through live broadcast on the Internet.

Jiang Lu, who was sitting next to her, noticed the loneliness in her eyes, so she stood up, turned off the computer, and said, "Xuan Bao, you are actually better than her."

Li Xuanbao looked at Jiang Lu, who was comforting her, and smiled slightly: "In your heart, I am naturally the best. But in the eyes of others, she is the best, and I am just a loser."

Jiang Lu sighed helplessly, knowing full well what was bothering Li Xuanbao.

She turned and walked into the bedroom. When she came out again, she was holding a card in her hand and handed it to Li Xuanbao: "Here."

Li Xuanbao looked up at Jiang Lu questioningly: "Why are you giving me your bank card?"

Jiang Lu put the card into Li Xuanbao's hand and said, "There's 20 million in it. It's the money I've saved over the years. Consider it my investment in you."

Li Xuanbao held the bank card and asked Jiang Lu with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lose all this money?"

Jiang Lu sat down next to Li Xuanbao again and said, "You are my best friend. Even if I lose all my money, I am willing to do it."

Li Xuanbao didn't refuse Jiang Lu's kindness. She was in urgent need of funds at the moment, so she said, "Thank you! I'll give you a share of the profits when I make money."

Afterwards, Li Xuanbao took back the shares of the live broadcast company that were originally transferred to him from Li Yan and embarked on the road of reorganization.

At the beginning, many things were not smooth sailing, but fortunately, Li Xuanbao did a lot of self-reflection and learning during the years in prison, and under her management, the live broadcast company gradually improved.

Two years later, the company emerged in the live broadcast field and once again became a leading enterprise in the live broadcast field.

At the year-end celebration, He Zhizhou handed a glass of red wine to Li Xuanbao and said, "Dad said that Li Yan's family will be back for the Spring Festival, so we should take Mingxuan home with us."

Li Xuanbao was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where's Li Jiawei? Will she go back?"

He Zhizhou knew Xuanbao didn't want to see Li Jiawei, and Li Jiawei didn't want to see Li Xuanbao either. Over the past two years, although they'd lived in the same city, they'd only seen each other a handful of times. He said, "Dad said Jiawei will be attending a national industry exchange conference early next year, so she and Xiao Yi are taking the two children back to Beijing. After spending the New Year with their parents there, they'll have to make a lot of preparations and visit some leaders."

Knowing that Li Jiawei would not be going home for the New Year, Li Xuanbao said, "Okay, then we'll take Mingxuan with us to spend the New Year with our parents."
