Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Ye Yu and Officer Xu and others took a plane back to China.

After giving her statement at the China Anti-Fraud Center, Ye Yu was stopped by Xu Zheng, who said, "After our verification, Lu Zhuofeng did not participate in the fraud, so he can leave."

Ye Yu was somewhat puzzled: "Then why are you telling me all this?"

"That's right, Lu Zhuofeng asked me to let you go to the hospital to see him," Xu Zheng said truthfully.

Ye Yu roughly guessed what Lu Zhuofeng was going to do, and nodded, saying, "I'll go with him."

After arriving at the hospital where Lu Zhuofeng was staying, she found his ward, went in, stood in front of him with her hands in her pockets, and asked, "What brings you here?"

Lu Zhuofeng struggled to sit up against the headboard and said, "Could you let me make a phone call to my sister?"

"can."

Without saying much, Ye Yu took out her phone and called Zhao Jing. She turned on the speakerphone and the call was answered after ringing for several seconds.

"Hey, Xiaoyu. Why are you calling me so early today? Is something wrong?"

"Mom, it's okay. I'm back in China, and I'll be home by tomorrow at the latest."

"You're back in China! That's great! Mom will cook you something delicious. I wonder if you've lost weight. What would you like to eat? Mom will prepare it first."

Ye Yu patiently replied, "I'd like to eat your braised beef."

"Okay, Mom will go buy beef in a bit and stew it for you for a few more hours."

Lu Zhuofeng leaned against the headboard, not urging Ye Yu, but listening to the conversation between Ye Yu and her mother with a gentle expression.

Ye Yu steered the conversation back on track, "Mom, is Lu Xiaoting with you?"

"Yes, this girl is quite well-behaved. She's sweet-talking and hardworking, and she comes to the shop with me every day. Your cousin and I told her to stay home and play, but she wouldn't have it and insisted on coming to the shop with us. Once she's here, she's always eager to do the work, and everyone in the shop likes her."

Hearing her mother's endless praise for someone, Ye Yu quickly asked, "Then please let her answer the phone."

"Okay, wait a minute." Zhao Jing held the phone away and called out, "Xiao Ting, come and answer Xiao Yu's call."

A moment later, Lu Xiaoting's voice came through the phone: "Hello, Sister Ye Yu, have you returned to China?"

Ye Yu hummed in agreement and said, "I've brought your brother back. He wants to talk to you now." After saying that, she handed the phone to Lu Zhuofeng and went to the window to look at the scenery.

Lu Zhuofeng had already heard his sister's voice, and he said excitedly, "Xiaoting, it's your brother."

"Brother, you were really saved by Sister Ye Yu. How are you? They beat you like that, are you alright?" Lu Xiaoting's voice choked as she spoke.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm in the hospital now, and I haven't broken any arms or legs. Don't worry," Lu Zhuofeng comforted him softly.

The brother and sister talked on the phone for a while before hanging up.

Ye Yu walked back to the bedside and put her phone away: "Now you believe me, right?"

The guarded look on Lu Zhuofeng's face had disappeared, replaced by a gradually rising expression of gratitude, and his brows had completely relaxed.

This time, he sincerely thanked Ye Yu, saying, "Thank you for saving me and my sister. I was too guarded and petty before, please don't hold it against me. From now on, you are a great benefactor to our family. If there is anything we siblings need, we will definitely not refuse."

Ye Yu waved her hand and said, "Saving you was just a small favor. But what are your plans now?"

Lu Zhuofeng pursed his lips: "Could you lend me some money? I've been scammed out of all my savings. I'm planning to transfer to a hospital near your home so I can be closer to my sister."

He thought for a long time before finally asking Ye Yu for money. He had no other choice but to be a coward once again and ask Ye Yu for money.

He is penniless and injured, so he can't work to earn money for the time being. He also needs money for hospitalization and medication. After he is discharged, he will need to rent a place to bring his sister out. Everything will cost money.

"Do you think I'm a great philanthropist? I've taken in your sister for so many days and still have to lend you money."

"I'll give you an IOU. I'll go to work and earn money as soon as I get better, and I'll definitely pay you back."

"What did you study in college?"

Lu Zhuofeng looked at Ye Yu in surprise, and after a few seconds replied, "Finance."

Hearing that he was studying finance suited Ye Yu perfectly. She had amassed so much gold and silver treasure that she certainly couldn't use it all herself, so she planned to use some to open more shops and make some investments.

Moreover, after she finishes her college entrance exams, her whole family will move to Kyoto, so she might as well focus all her energy on Kyoto.

Ye Yu had heard Lu Xiaoting say that her brother was a top student at Peking University, majoring in finance.

Considering that he is unwilling to hurt anyone and has some backbone, and that my family's business will grow bigger and bigger in the future, we need this kind of talent.

Ye Yu made up her mind and said to him, "How about this, you come back to Zhang City with me to recuperate first, and I'll pay your hospital fees. After you've recovered, I plan to open a few more shops, and you can come and help out at my place then. You'll still get paid."

Lu Zhuofeng was surprised that Ye Yu would change his tune because of his profession. He quickly said, "No need to pay me a salary, just use my wages to offset the treatment costs."

Hearing him say that, Ye Yu didn't force the issue: "Alright, we'll calculate your salary and deduct it later. We'll pay you back after your hospital fees are deducted."

Ye Yu turned and walked towards the door of the ward: "I'll go and arrange for you to be transferred to another hospital first. Let's leave once it's arranged."

Seeing Ye Yu walk out, Lu Zhuofeng's heart sank. He slowly calmed his heart, which had been pounding because he was embarrassed to borrow money, and chuckled softly, "A sharp tongue but a soft heart."

That evening, the two returned to Zhang City. Before leaving, Ye Yu called Zhao Jing.

So when they arrived at the hospital, Zhao Jing, Xu Jia, and Lu Xiaoting were already waiting at the entrance.

When Lu Xiaoting saw Lu Zhuofeng being carried off the plane, his face was covered in bruises and one eye was bloodshot, she burst into tears.

Lu Zhuofeng quickly took her hand and comforted her, "I'm fine, it just looks scary. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Lu Xiaoting was crying and couldn't speak. She could only wipe her tears with her sleeve and nod.

Zhao Jing stepped forward and hugged her. The group followed her into the hospital and settled Lu Zhuofeng in before Lu Xiaoting gradually calmed down.

She walked up to Ye Yu and the other two and bowed deeply: "Sister Ye Yu, thank you for saving my brother and me, and thank you Aunt Jing and Sister Jia for taking care of me."

"Don't thank me, my child. You're so obedient and sensible, Aunt Zhao likes you very much." Zhao Jing held her hand.

"Yes, Xiaoting, you stay here and keep your brother company. We'll go home first and bring you food in a little while."

Lu Zhuofeng and his sister thanked her repeatedly. Zhao Jing asked them to stay, and the three of them then left the hospital.

Because of the large number of people at the hospital, it was difficult to hail a taxi, so Ye Yu and her friends had to leave the hospital area to try to find one.

Walking down the street, Ye Yu put her hand on Zhao Jing's shoulder and said, "Mom, do you still want Lu Xiaoting to stay at our house?"

“That child is very obedient and capable. After observing him for the past few days, your cousin and I don’t think he’s faking it. Besides, our family can afford to feed these two. We’ll see how they react after his brother recovers.”

"Wow, Boss Zhao is quite something now, he even knows how to use tricks," Ye Yu teased.

"That's right, Xiaoyu. In the ten days you were gone, your auntie used both kindness and strictness to manage the shop exceptionally well," Xu Jia said, covering her mouth with a smile.

"Did something happen at the store?" Ye Yu asked.

Zhao Jing waved her hand: "It's nothing serious. It's just that some people took advantage of their seniority and conspired to raise wages, which caused some trouble, but your cousin and I have taken care of it."

Knowing that the matter had been resolved, Ye Yu didn't interfere any further. The three of them stood at the intersection chatting and laughing, hailed a taxi, and went home.
