Countdown to Awakening

Chapter 248 The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility

After arriving in Youcheng, Chen Chuan was rushed to the hospital.

Zheng Haifeng stood in front of the ward and felt very guilty.

If he was the one injured instead of Chen Chuan, it would be more understandable, but now Chen Chuan was injured because of him...

Qi Yuanyuan was also standing at the door.

"What's wrong with you? Are you still upset about this? I am also responsible. But the one who was wrong was Sun Jiacai. By the way, how is Sun Jiacai? He should be in jail."

Zheng Haifeng shook his head.

"I haven't received any news yet. But I don't think he can get far."

Tin Fook Village.

Sun Jiacai found Chen Juan.

"Mom, I killed someone... and he's a policeman. What should I do? If anything happens to him, I'm done. I won't end up in jail, will I? I don't want to end up in jail..."

Chen Juan was also in tears at this time and took out the only money she had from her pocket.

"It's all your sister's fault, you're such a loser. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be like this. Take this money and run. They can't catch you."

"Where should I go, and who should I look for?"

At this moment, Chen Juan suddenly thought of her parents' home.

"Go to your grandpa's house. He lives in Jincheng. And... give him this letter. Your grandma is kind-hearted and will definitely take you in."

"Mom, why is your family in Jincheng? Aren't you from the village?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just leave! Quickly!"

Sun Jiacai was almost scared to death and crawled out.

Not long after the Sun family left, Sun Degui came in from the back door.

"Where did you send my son? Tell me!" Chen Juan calmly replied, "My mother's family."

Hearing these three words, Sun Degui was shocked. Maternal home? He still remembered his maternal home...

"Why did you send him there? That's my son! What do you mean?!"

Sun Degui reached out and slapped her.

"My family just killed someone. Going to my mother's house is the best choice. Only my mother's family can save him." Chen Juan's tears flowed again.

Sun Degui pointed at her and said tremblingly, "You...you stinky bitch, you did it on purpose. You wanted everyone to know you were here."

Chen Juan held back her tears and broke down crying, "What can I do? Are you going to let me watch my son go in? I've been married to you for so many years and never thought of running away. I even gave birth to a son for you. What else do you want? I won't run away. He will come back after we get through this period at home."

Sun Degui was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

This bitch did it on purpose, trying to tip off her parents.

"Don't worry, I won't run away. My son is here. There's no point if I go back. My parents may not recognize me, but my family is my son. They should help him for my sake." As she spoke, Chen Juan took Sun Degui's hand.

"Then tell me, what should we do with Sister Jin's betrothal gift money? Your well-raised daughter has hooked up with a man and now she's running off with someone else. We're going to owe Sister Jin another debt!"

"I...if it doesn't work out, I'll go find Ma Hui again. This isn't the first or second time. He's the richest man in the village."

Sun Degui snorted coldly.

"I think you're having an affair with Ma Hui and planning to run away. You sent my son to your parents' house. Are you planning to run away too?"

Chen Juan shook her head.

"I never thought of running away. I wouldn't. I'm used to this. You have to believe me."

Sun Degui glared at her fiercely.

Anyway, he is no longer of much use, so it would be the same even if I went to find Ma Hui.

The villagers finally rescued An Lingta. Zheng Haifeng ran away, but Jiang Li was still in the village.

The villagers all came to settle accounts with Jiang Li.

"Don't be angry, Haifeng was wrong to do this. It's my fault for not teaching my son well."

Jiang Li was clearly in a dilemma. If they had just asked for money, it would have been fine, but if they had asked for her house, that would have been bad news.

The house is gone, where will Haifeng live when he comes back?

"This tower was built by previous generations, but now it's destroyed by your son. If we want to repair it, it will cost a lot of money! What do you think we should do?"

Jiang Li stammered, "Then...how much should I pay? You guys tell me."

"Hmph, can you come up with the money? Do you know how much it costs to repair the tower? In the end, you will have to pay for the evil your son has done. Just... take out 5000 first. It's still a small amount."

Jiang Li looked embarrassed.

"...Please ask for less. I really can't afford so much."

There's still some money left for Haifeng to marry. Even though he and Pan Di were the ones who arranged the marriage, he couldn't not give the bride price, right?

Jiang Li turned around and went into the house to get the money.

Jiang Li opened the cloth bags layer by layer and took out this stack of money and handed it to everyone. "That's all I have. Can I give you the rest later? I really don't have any money left."

Mr. Xue was also in a dilemma. He reached out and touched his dark face, not knowing what to say.

He knew Haifeng was a good boy, but he shouldn't have touched the tower.

"If anything goes wrong with this tower, all the resentment inside will burst out. Don't you know that? Haifeng's mother."

"I……"

"Okay, okay, for Old Zheng's sake we won't pursue this matter too much, but you still have to pay back the money. Otherwise we will go to the city to find Zheng Haifeng!" Zhao Fu shouted.

Then the group left.

Jiang Li sighed.

"Haifeng, why do you love to do stupid things? If you offend Zhao Fu, you won't be able to return to the village in the future... It's okay if your father is not here, but if you can't come back in the future, what should I do..."

At this moment, Zheng Haifeng couldn't avoid a scolding.

The boss on the other end of the phone was very angry. Fortunately, Chen Chuan was not seriously injured.

After answering the phone, Zheng Haifeng entered the ward.

Chen Chuan saw his concerns.

"Haifeng, don't worry. Injuries are inevitable in our line of work, and serious injuries can even cost lives. You're young and highly educated. You've just graduated and have a bright future. I have a son and a daughter, and this injury was caused by work, so don't be afraid."

After a moment of silence, Chen Chuan asked again, "By the way, has the criminal been caught? Is there any information about his whereabouts?"

Zheng Haifeng shook his head. "No. But there should be news soon."

Chen Chuan was also a little disappointed.

"Your village is quite strange. If I hadn't followed you there this time, I wouldn't have believed in such a bad custom. How could they arrange ghost marriages for people? Your girlfriend should be okay, right?"

"She hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said to wait and see tomorrow."

Chen Chuan comforted Zheng Haifeng for a long time.

"Young people shouldn't be so afraid. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. Once you take this position, you can't be afraid of bearing the consequences."

Zheng Haifeng nodded. Not long after, Qi Yuanyuan called him over again.
