Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

The cold wind howled.

Zhongjiang Provincial Border Toll Station.

Large trucks blocked several lanes completely.

It took a while before it could move forward even slightly.

In the era before ETC, each province's expressways were unique.

To enter Han River Province from Trung Giang Province, you must first pay a toll to exit the station and then take a card to enter the station.

Cash settlements are inherently slow.

In addition, during the New Year's Day holiday, highway traffic police strictly enforced checks on overloaded and oversized vehicles.

Ever since.

Even the expensive imported Mercedes-Benz can only move slowly in this congested traffic.

My phone was about to run out of battery.

Liang Wei quickly called his second sister, Liang Lu, again.

"Sis, I'm about to enter Hanjiang Province. I estimate I'll arrive in Jingzhou by noon tomorrow. My phone is almost out of battery and will probably shut down automatically soon."

"No matter what it takes, get the best doctors in Jingzhou to come and save Dad tonight. Money is no object. As long as he can be saved, I'll give everyone a 100,000 yuan red envelope. You..."

Before I could finish speaking, the phone screen went black.

"Hold!"

"What the hell is this crappy phone?!"

"They're still going to sell it for over seven thousand!"

Liang Wei was so angry that he swore.

He Biao, who was sitting to the side, quickly comforted him:

"Brother Wei, don't worry, calm down!"

“Liang Shuji is the third-in-command in Handong, such a high position and great power, the province will definitely do everything in its power to save him.”

"Besides, modern medicine is quite advanced, there won't be any problems, so you can rest assured!"

As he spoke, He Biao offered Liang Wei a cigarette and then respectfully lit it for him.

After taking a deep breath, Liang Wei turned his head to look ahead.

"Damn it, can't we just tear down this lousy tollbooth?"

"It's really inconvenient for cars that travel long distances across provinces."

He Biao immediately chimed in, "That's right, and they're still strictly limiting overloading. You can't even get on the highway without paying some money to a scalper."

"I just don't get it. A highway that costs tens of millions to build every kilometer, do you think I can just haul a few extra tons of coal in one truck and it will break down?"

The two of them launched into a tirade of complaints and grievances.

But if it needs to be blocked, it still needs to be blocked.

It took almost ten minutes to get through a provincial border toll station.

Upon entering the expressway in Han River Province, the driver immediately began speeding along at breakneck speed.

Liang Wei and He Biao, who drank quite a bit of alcohol last night.

Under the influence of alcohol, they quickly fell asleep.

The two drivers in front took turns driving on and on.

Knowing that the boss was in a hurry to return to Jingzhou, who would dare to neglect him?

Moreover, sitting in the back row is the beloved son of Liang Qunfeng, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Department of Handong Province.

So what if you're speeding?

It's a rare opportunity to drive a big Mercedes and go on a crazy race.

So the two drivers, taking turns driving, really went all out and drove like crazy.

When Liang Wei was awakened by the urge to urinate, it was already dawn.

Have we left Hanjiang Province?

"Not yet, Brother Wei, but we'll be in Wenshan City soon."

"Wenshan? Wenshan City on the Han River is a well-known heavy industrial city!"

"Yes, there are so many steel mills and such. Look at the weather, it's all fogged up."

"The pollution from heavy industry is too serious. Um, let's find a service area up ahead to stop for a bit, I need to pee."

A few minutes later.

The Mercedes-Benz W140 slowly drove into the Wenshan South Service Area.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Liang Wei hurriedly got out and headed straight for the restroom.

After feeling better, I wanted to call my second sister to ask how she was doing, only to find that my phone had run out of battery and was switched off.

I was hesitating about whether to remove the battery and borrow a universal charger from the store...

"Let's go, Wei-ge, we need to hurry!"

"Get us something to eat. We were so busy drinking last night that we didn't eat much."

After saying that, Liang Wei got back into the car first.

I wanted to borrow the driver's phone to call and ask about my second sister's situation.

For a long time afterward, he still couldn't remember the phone number.

The violent car accident did leave him with some aftereffects; his memory wasn't as good as before.

When He Biao returned, he immediately gave the following instructions:

"I can't remember my sister's phone number. Could you send someone to the Jingzhou People's Hospital to inquire about my father's condition?"

"No problem. Isn't Lao Yu in Jingzhou? I'll have him send someone over, and also give Second Sister some money. The bigger the red envelopes they give the doctors, the more dedicated they'll be!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Wei, who had originally intended to speak with Yu Haifeng in person, immediately abandoned the idea.

Asking him for money would be too damaging to my image and status.

soon.

The Mercedes-Benz drove out of the service area and continued its journey at high speed.

Around 10 a.m., we finally drove out of Hanjiang Province.

I saw the words "Welcome to Handong Province".

In addition, we learned that the surgery went smoothly and that my father had been transferred to the intensive care unit for observation.

Liang Wei's tense mood finally eased a little.

"Hey, hey, why are you slowing down? Keep going, go faster!"

"Don't be afraid of speeding! Points and fines are nothing!"

"I can erase all your traffic violations with just one phone call! Now drive off!"

Eager to return home, Liang Wei didn't even want to go into a service area to rest.

I wish my Mercedes could fly so I could fly straight to the hospital.

At noon.

The Mercedes-Benz, which had been speeding excessively all the way, drove into the Jingzhou People's Hospital.

The car had just stopped outside the emergency building.

Liang Wei then took the initiative to open the door and get out of the car.

He Biao also hurriedly got out of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a small suitcase containing money.

I stayed in this hospital for almost two months.

Therefore, Liang Wei was naturally very familiar with the process.

A short while later, he saw that in the corridor outside the intensive care unit, only Qi Tongwei was eating his boxed lunch.

But the abundance of flowers and fruit baskets, piled up layer upon layer along the corridor, almost formed a hill.

It's obvious that many people visited my father at the hospital this morning.

"My father, who holds a high position of power, certainly has a deep network of connections!"

"I was hospitalized for almost two months and didn't receive many flowers or fruit baskets!"

Liang Wei slowed his pace and walked forward.

"Where are my sister and sister-in-law?"

Qi Tongwei, who was engrossed in his meal, suddenly looked up.

He put down his lunchbox and suddenly grabbed Liang Wei by the collar.

"You fucking have the nerve to come back?!"

Qi Tongwei, who had endured years of being a live-in son-in-law, suddenly exploded.

He has been patient for so many years because he wants to make progress faster.

But today, Liang Wei and his sister completely messed things up.

Caught off guard, Liang Wei was naturally stunned.

what's the situation?

Has Qi Tongwei, who usually has the least status and presence at home, taken the wrong medicine?

How dare they lay a hand on me? Don't they want to live in the law anymore?

Before Liang Wei could even speak, the strong and burly He Biao suddenly roared:

"What the hell are you doing?"

He threw down the box and was about to make a move.

"none of your business!!"

Qi Tongwei shoved Liang Wei hard.

Liang Wei staggered backward and crashed solidly into the wall behind him.

"Who the hell are you?"

He Biao clenched his fists and was about to rush forward to punch Qi Tongwei.

"stop!!"

Liang Wei shouted, "Hold your balance and take two steps forward!"

"He's my brother-in-law, get out of the way!"

"Sister...brother-in-law?"

He Biao quickly put on a fawning smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, brother-in-law, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Qi Tongwei glanced coldly at He Biao and also noticed the box he had thrown on the ground.

Her gaze swept back to Liang Wei, and she said angrily:

"You think you've had enough trouble already? You even brought people to deliver money?"

"Do you know that your second sister and sister-in-law have been taken away by the provincial discipline inspection commission?"

"what???"

Liang Wei, who was originally full of anger and about to start cursing, immediately glared and asked:

"What happened? The two of them..."

"What? What's going on? Didn't you send someone to deliver the money?"

Qi Tongwei glared fiercely at Liang Wei and said angrily:

"Your sister has a mental problem, but have you been brain-dead too?"

"Knowing that Dad was in trouble and that many people would come to visit, they still sent a large box of money."

"That idiot sister of yours actually colluded with your sister-in-law to give money to doctors everywhere. Isn't that a slap in the face to the provincial discipline inspection commission?"

"And he just handed over a thick stack of 100,000 yuan right off the bat! Where did our family get so much money? And to give money to doctors in broad daylight at the hospital, what was he thinking?"

A barrage of questions left Liang Wei completely bewildered.

He knew that his second sister, Liang Lu, was a somewhat obsessive and love-obsessed person.

When faced with even the slightest emergency, their IQ completely drops, and they become extremely capricious.

and so……

All she could think about was how her father had escaped death, and how she wanted to thank the doctors for saving his life.

She's capable of giving out large sums of money to everyone, regardless of the time or place.

As for why his sister-in-law also became confused, Liang Wei didn't have time to think about it in detail.

"Then...where are they now?"

Qi Tongwei pointed directly to another direction in the corridor.

"The provincial discipline inspection commission summoned the two of them, along with everyone who came to visit my father-in-law, to the hospital's academic hall for questioning, and they haven't come out yet!"

"Then why weren't you called in?"

“I stayed here all night last night, then went back to my car to sleep. When the hospital staff woke me up, they had already been taken away.”

"..."

Liang Wei's body went limp.

It deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon.

"You actually brought people here to deliver money? Aren't you just walking into a trap?"

Qi Tongwei roared loudly.

Liang Wei was so frightened that he shuddered.

"Let's go, go quickly!"

Disheartened, Liang Wei called He Biao and prepared to leave.

However, hurried footsteps were already approaching.

"The skinny one is Liang Wei, grab him quickly!!"
