While running madly, Shi Jun bumped into several people in a row, and even almost knocked one of them to the ground.

The person was brought by Mu Jingyan. Everyone looked at him with accusations. The person who was almost knocked down stood up and spoke even more rudely.

"What's wrong with Mr. Mu? He brings in all sorts of things."

Mu Jingyan didn't expect Shi Jun to attack him, and was still in a daze until the discussions and scolding around him became louder and louder, and then he finally reacted.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, took a few quick steps in the direction Shi Jun ran, and roared.

"Zhou Ye, come back here."

"Mu Jingyan doesn't know his real name?"

Han Feng looked at Qu Tao in confusion. After being asked this question, Qu Tao came to his senses and immediately ran towards the door of the hall.

"I'll go and see if anything happened to the child."

Qu Tao chased Shi Jun all the way from the banquet hall to the hotel entrance, but there was no sign of Shi Jun. Han Feng caught up with him from behind, panting, and looked around.

"What about people?"

"I didn't see him. I guess he left."

"This kid became famous tonight. He actually punched Mu in front of so many people."

Mu Jingyan's company is in a downturn right now, and he came to the banquet tonight with the intention of building relationships.

Now that he had been punched in public and lost face, who knows what he would do to Shi Jun next.

Qu Tao thought about it and sighed: "Okay, let's go back."

Qu Tao had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a broken cry behind him.

"Mr. Qu..."

"Mr. Qu... help me."

Under the dim street lights, the young man ran towards this side, shouting, his pale face devoid of any blood.

"What's wrong? Don't worry. Speak slowly."

Qu Tao walked forward quickly. Shi Jun was panting heavily, his voice intermittent, "I... I can't get a taxi."

"Where are you going? I'll drive you there."

Qu Tao gave Han Feng a few instructions and dragged Shi Jun towards the parking lot.

Perhaps it was like a person on the verge of drowning who finally grabbed a life-saving straw. After the anxious voice relaxed, it was filled with choked sobs.

"Go...go home to see my mother." The last two words were swallowed by sobs and became very small.

Qu Tao guessed something and asked him to enter the location in the navigation and stepped on the accelerator.

Inside the car, neither of them spoke again. Apart from the sound of the rapidly starting engine and breathing, the quiet air was filled with a great sense of unease.

Shi Jun faced the car window from beginning to end. When the traffic light turned red, Qu Tao still saw the tear marks on his face through the glass window.

Qu Tao opened his mouth several times, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

He had also lost loved ones, and he knew how pale and powerless all words were at the moment when a loved one left.

Only those who have experienced it personally can understand that kind of pain!

The car stopped at the gate of an old residential complex. Qu Tao took out a few packs of expensive cigarettes, stuffed them into the hands of the security guard, and drove in.

"Thank you," Shi Jun said in a hoarse voice as soon as the car stopped, and ran out.

There was no dedicated parking lot in the old neighborhood, so Qu Tao pulled his car to the side of the road before chasing after him.

There was no elevator on the top floor of the sixth floor. When Qu Tao ran up breathlessly, he heard hoarse cries from the wide-open door.

"Mom... wake up... please... don't leave me."

"Mom, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone to the party to see that family. It's all my fault for not being with you."

"Mom... please, please wake up, okay?"

The nurse stood aside, feeling awkward and not knowing what to say. She turned around and saw Qu Tao, and quickly made way for him.

"You are Junjun's friend, right? The dead cannot be resurrected. Please try to persuade this child."

Qu Tao nodded to Auntie and squatted next to Shi Jun.

Looking at the young man kneeling on the floor, crying out of breath, Qu Tao pulled him into his arms, gently patted his back, and said nothing.

Time seemed to stand still, but it also seemed as if a long time had passed. The outburst of crying gradually calmed down, and Qu Tao stood up with difficulty and walked towards the living room.

The customs in the tobacco market are quite particular. Qu Tao called Assistant Wang and asked him to buy some things for the funeral, then returned to the nurse.

"Shi Jun is young, so I'll have to trouble you to help me wipe my body and change my clothes."

"Don't worry, compensation is not a problem."

The nurse also had children, and she felt pity and distress for Shi Jun. After wiping the corners of her eyes, she slowly nodded.

Xi Mozhou came with Assistant Wang. The moment Qu Tao saw him, Mu's eyes turned red and he threw himself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

The strength that I had just pretended to be strong collapsed at this moment.

Xi Mozhou kissed the top of his head, patted his back, and comforted him softly.

"Be good...don't be sad, he will get over it."

"Are you hungry? Go call him out to eat something, and ask the nurse to go in and help Auntie change her clothes."

Business is more important. After hearing what he said, Qu Tao immediately pulled out of his arms, wiped his eyes, and walked to the bedroom.

After Shi Jun followed Qu Tao and sat down on the sofa in the living room, although he stopped crying, his eyes were dull as if he was a different person, without a trace of light in them.

The next day, Shi Jun's face showed no trace of the hoarse look he had last night. After burying Shi Mu, he calmly walked to Qu Tao.

"Mr. Qu, please excuse me, Mr. Xi. If it's convenient this afternoon, could we arrange a time to meet?"

The calmer Shi Jun appeared, the more anxious Qu Tao became. He took a few steps forward, hugged him tightly, and then spoke.

"You have my phone number, right? You can contact me anytime."

"From now on...I won't bother you anymore."

"what?"

Qu Tao let go of him and looked at him suspiciously. Shi Jun shook his head and forced a smile.

"Nothing, I'll go to your coffee shop at 5 pm."

Qu Tao was worried about Shi Jun. He had spent the whole night in the living room over there with Xi Mozhou. Now he returned to Qinhai, took a shower, and fell into bed.

Although he was extremely sleepy, he was still restless. After Xi Mozhou came out of the bathroom, Qu Tao simply sat up from the bed.

"Honey...can I discuss something with you?"

"You said."

"After I see the child this afternoon, can I bring him back to stay for two nights? He has no relatives around him right now, and it's always worrying."

"You have the final say in our family, so you can do whatever you want."

In the afternoon, Qu Tao went to the coffee shop early, but Shi Jun arrived earlier than him.

Seeing Qu Tao sitting down, Shi Jun pushed the card he had been holding in his hand for a long time to his desk.

"Mr. Qu, there's 500,000 yuan in this card, and the password is six ones."

"Why did you give me the money?"

Qu Tao stared at him in confusion. Shi Jun smiled bitterly and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window.

"There's 300,000 yuan in it, which is the medical expenses you and President Xi paid earlier, and 200,000 yuan, which I got from President Mu."

"so what?"

"I don't need it anymore."

"What do you mean you can't use it? You're just a freshman, you have plenty of other things to spend money on."

Qu Tao pushed the bank card back as he spoke. Shi Jun withdrew his gaze and pushed it to Qu Tao's desk again.

"I don't need it anymore."
