The path to becoming a tycoon begins with binding to the Godly Rich System.

Chapter 187 (The End)

After spending three more days in La City and using up all his mission rewards, Yu Heng was in a good mood.

"Are you really going back?" Hao Wenhao looked at Yu Heng with a worried expression.

Yu Heng patted Hao Wenhao on the shoulder: "Okay, the rest is up to you!"

Hao Wenhao sighed. To be honest, he was still a little anxious. Although he had made detailed plans on how to start the work and where to begin, being suddenly reminded that it was about to begin made him nervous.

Yu Heng smiled but didn't offer any comfort.

He had seen this guy's behavior over the past few days. Perhaps it was from his years of experience in the military that he had developed a roguish and reckless air about him.

With power, manpower, and weapons, Yu Heng wasn't worried that Hao Wenhao wouldn't be able to handle the situation here.

He then turned to look at Li Peibo, who was standing next to Hao Wenhao.

"President Yu, Chairman Chu, please rest assured, I will assist Manager Hao well," Li Peibo quickly pledged his loyalty.

"Mm." Yu Heng nodded slightly to him.

Because Menedo and several key NTT personnel were still at the hotel, Yu Heng did not allow Hao Wenhao to see them off.

After waving goodbye at the hotel entrance, Yu Heng led Chu Anlan into the car heading to the airport.

The three cars drove in a convoy, with Yu Heng and Chu Anlan sitting in the middle car, followed by bodyguards in front and behind.

Gao Zhiyuan also came this time, but he sat in the car behind Yu Heng and the others.

"Boss, it looks like there's a tail behind us!" Suddenly, the bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat said to Yu Heng with a serious expression.

Yu Heng frowned. He turned around and looked through the rear window of the car. Sure enough, several cars were closely following their convoy.

This section of road is remote and wide, and most vehicles will speed up when they get here.

Yu Heng and his convoy were not moving fast because they were escorting two big bosses.

The cars following behind them were clearly acting with ill intentions.

"We have weapons!" came the voice of the bodyguard in the back car over the walkie-talkie.

The bodyguard in the passenger seat drew and cocked his gun in one fluid motion, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.

“Brother Heng…” Chu Anlan nervously grabbed Yu Heng’s hand.

"It's alright!" Although Yu Heng was worried, he still comforted Chu Anlan easily.

He moved closer to Chu Anlan and pulled him into his arms in a protective gesture.

Soon, the cars following behind their convoy realized they had been spotted and accelerated, attempting to ram them to a stop.

Fortunately, Yu Heng's convoy driver was highly skilled; he stepped on the gas, firmly gripped the steering wheel, and avoided the oncoming black car.

The car behind was clearly not to be outdone, and the two groups of cars soon started racing on the empty main road.

"Bang! Bang bang!!"

"They fired?" Chu Anlan's face turned pale with fright.

Yu Heng did not answer. He tried his best to keep his balance in the speeding car, and just hugged Chu Anlan even tighter to give him a sense of security.

"Damn it!" the bodyguard in the passenger seat cursed, raising his gun and staring at the situation outside.

He dared not open the window to shoot, as the car's body and windows were bulletproof, and he was afraid that opening the window would cause his boss to be injured by stray bullets.

The driver weaved through traffic, dodging the rampaging cars and some bullets.

They only had three cars, while the other side had seven. The standoff didn't last long before a black car broke through the security lock and crashed into the car where Yu Heng and his group were.

[Ding! Host detected to be in danger, defense mode activated... Defense mode activated... Host... Host, you can't do this...]

Gunshots, brakes, the sounds of vehicles colliding, and system notifications in my mind...

Yu Heng wasn't thinking about anything right now; he just tried his best to pull Chu Anlan into his arms and use his own body to shield him from the violent impact.

Their car tumbled through the air, making a full circle, before crashing heavily onto the road with a screeching sound and a deafening metallic tearing noise.

The other car wasn't much better off; the huge impact caused it to lose control, spin several times, and crash into a large tree on the side of the road, becoming completely immobilized.

The bodyguards watched as their boss's car was smashed and sent flying, their eyes wide with rage.

However, the remaining vehicles were still locked in combat with them, leaving them no time to check on their boss.

The battle escalated instantly, with the sound of bullets flying everywhere.

Outside the car, debris was scattered everywhere, leaving a scene of utter chaos. Inside, the airbags had deployed, and the driver was unconscious, but the bodyguard remained conscious.

"President Yu! President Chu!" the bodyguard shouted loudly to the back seat.

"Brother Heng... Brother Heng..."

Yu Heng opened his eyes. He could feel the pain in his body, but everything in front of him was blurry.

He struggled to raise his hand and touched Chu Anlan's face in his arms: "Sweetie... are you hurt?"

"I'm fine! I'm fine! Heng-ge, don't scare me!" Chu Anlan cried, her voice trembling as she used her sleeve to wipe the blood from Yu Heng's face.

Upon hearing Chu Anlan's words, Yu Heng relaxed, then everything went black, and he lost consciousness completely.

…………

When Yu Heng woke up again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

It took him a while for his sluggish thoughts to process what had happened before he lost consciousness.

Feeling the warmth from his palm, he turned his head slightly and saw Chu Anlan lying by the bed.

He scratched Chu Anlan's palm with his finger.

“Heng…Brother Heng!” Chu Anlan looked up and saw Yu Heng open his eyes and look at him, and was immediately overjoyed.

His first instinct was to rush into his arms, but halfway through the action he remembered that Yu Heng was still injured, so he hurriedly pressed the call bell by the bedside.

"Brother Heng! Brother Heng! Brother Heng!..." Chu Anlan pressed the call button and immediately sat back down. She stared at Yu Heng, raised his hand and placed it on her cheek, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Don't cry..." Yu Heng said, only to find that his voice was terribly hoarse.

Chu Anlan quickly put his hand down, picked up the water glass, and carefully moistened his throat.

"Old Yu!"

"Mr. Yu!"

"Mr. Yu!"

Dong Senyao, Zhang An, and Gao Zhiyuan, who were waiting in the living room outside the ward, heard the noise and rushed in. Sure enough, they saw Yu Heng, who had already woken up.

"How are you feeling?" Dong Senyao walked to the hospital bed and asked with concern.

"It's alright. How long did I sleep?" Yu Heng asked him.

"You've been asleep for almost two days!" Dong Senyao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he seemed to be in pretty good condition.

“You have a broken leg, a ruptured spleen, and a concussion. We’re at the Cades Hospital now. You’ve already had surgery, and the doctor said you just need to rest and recover.” Dong Senyao explained his current situation to Yu Heng in one breath: “Haozi and your lawyer, Lauberg, have gone to handle the follow-up. They said it’s not a big problem, so you don’t need to worry.”

Yu Heng then turned his gaze to Zhang An.

“Your trip was kept completely confidential. We found out that it was Lawrence who leaked your information to the military-industrial complex in Country A. However, we haven’t yet found out which specific force attacked you.” Zhang An quickly reported the information to Yu Heng.

Yu Heng nodded. Although he hadn't found out anything, it was probably just one of those few companies.

If we take him out, his overseas assets are enough to feed those megalodon sharks.

Moreover, the government of Country A was likely also involved in fueling the fire. After all, as a Chinese citizen, he possessed world-leading technology that even Country A lacked, and Yu Heng believed the government of Country A would be very happy to see him die.

As for why they dared not act openly—although he was Chinese, as the heir of "Ben", he also inherited "Ben's" conglomerate in Country A.

"I was careless this time!" Yu Heng said to them.

Although Lawrence was in charge of the Menedo gold mine, he was only the temporary head appointed by Cade before Cade, the person in charge designated by the system, died.

He is of average ability; he can manage to maintain the status quo, but he is struggling to cope with the increasingly complex situation in Country D.

Therefore, he lost power and was taken over by Wilson, the NTT manager who was in charge of the gold mine.

He probably came here to get Yu Heng and the others' support, but he didn't ask for it himself, so neither Yu Heng nor Hao Wenhao thought much of him. Instead, they discussed the management of the Menedo gold mine with Wilson.

Unexpectedly, Lawrence, who seemed so timid, would betray them outright.

It was indeed his mistake.

The doctor came quickly, examined Yu Heng, and announced that he was recovering well and could be discharged after a few more days.

Dong Senyao and the others were also very happy, but since Yu Heng had just woken up, they did not stay any longer to disturb his rest.

After they left, Chu Anlan went to the bathroom to get some warm water and used it to wipe Yu Heng's body.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to take a shower!" Chu Anlan said to Yu Heng as she took the water away.

He had stayed by Yu Heng's side for the past two days, not daring to leave his side for even a moment. Now that Yu Heng was awake, he wanted to wash up and lie down with Yu Heng for a while.

"Okay, go ahead!" Yu Heng gently stroked Chu Anlan's hand reassuringly.

Chu Anlan kissed Yu Heng on the lips before turning to go to the washroom.

[Ding! System task completed. Congratulations, host.]

The system's voice suddenly sounded.

"It's finished? When?" Yu Heng asked in surprise.

[When the host hugged Chu Anlan in the car, the host's emotional fluctuations reached their peak, directly exceeding the mission's standards.]

"You can collect my emotional fluctuations too?" Yu Heng was a little confused: "Isn't it collecting the people affected by my missions?"

The system's primary target for collection is the host; however, according to system calculations, the host's emotional fluctuations are too flat, making them unsuitable for collection. Therefore, the system has activated its second plan: collecting the emotional fluctuations of humans affected by the host's tasks.

"So now..." Yu Heng wanted to ask the system if it was going to leave.

Yes, mission complete, system about to leave this plane.

The system accompanied Yu Heng through his most difficult period, and most of what he has now was given to him by the system.

Although he knew long ago that the system wouldn't stay with him for long, Yu Heng still felt a little lost in the face of the sudden separation.

[At 11:15 AM on the 23rd, due to a system error, the host suffered serious harm. As compensation, Lauberg's self-destruction time will be postponed until after the host's death. He will be given the task of fully assisting the host and following the host's every command.]

The time indicated by the system was exactly the time Yu Heng was hit by the car.

The system was in protection mode at the time, but Yu Heng risked his life to protect Chu Anlan, causing the system to malfunction. Although Chu Anlan was protected, Yu Heng was injured.

[The host has completed the mission ahead of schedule, and the reward is that all assets left behind by this entity will be transferred to the host's name.]

[Host has completed the task to a high standard. As a reward, you will receive a complete set of finished energy cells and organs, which will be kept in custody by Lauberg.]

[Thank you for your hard work these past few days. You are not only an excellent human being, but also an excellent mission taker. System 09 is very pleased to cooperate with you. Best wishes to you.]

"System—thank you!" Yu Heng looked at the ceiling and sincerely thanked the system.

[You're welcome, host. 09 bids you farewell.]

"goodbye!"

【goodbye】

……

"Heng-ge, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chu Anlan asked anxiously when she saw Yu Heng looking a little lost after washing up.

"It's okay, is your hair dry? Lie down with me for a while." Yu Heng turned to look at Chu Anlan.

Chu Anlan carefully crawled to Yu Heng's side and lay down.

"Heng-ge! Don't..." Chu Anlan grasped Yu Heng's hand, which he was trying to reach out and hug.

He still has wounds on his body!

“It’s okay, my hand isn’t injured. I just wanted you to rest your head on my arm.” Yu Heng insisted on extending his hand.

"Why are you crying again?" Yu Heng's hand was being supported by Chu Anlan's head, while the other hand was still receiving an IV drip. He couldn't wipe away his boyfriend's tears, so his tone was somewhat anxious.

"It's okay, I'm happy!" Chu Anlan wiped away her tears, sniffed, and looked at Yu Heng happily.

Yu Heng looked at him tenderly, his eyes filled with doting affection.

That gaze, like warm sunlight, gently fell on Chu Anlan's face, making him feel a sense of peace he had never felt before.

"I'm right here. Why don't you take a nap, okay?" Yu Heng looked at the dark circles under Chu Anlan's eyes with concern.

"Mmm!" Chu Anlan snuggled against Yu Heng's arm affectionately.

She closed her eyes, and soon her breathing became even; she was clearly fast asleep.

Listening to her boyfriend's breathing beside her ear, Yu Heng closed her eyes.

The two people on the hospital bed huddled together, as if they were each other's safest haven.
