Wild Man & His Crazy World

Chapter 22 Hospital Encounter

“Hahaha! This is hilarious. I can't take it anymore. Hahahah!” “Those are practice notes! Hahaha!” “88,000 earned from the stock market? Hahah!” “This is what they call a top student? Does he have water up his brain?” “This is the first time I've met someone who mistook practice notes for real money! Hahahaha! I can't believe it!” Qin Ming was beyond embarrassed. The harder they laughed, the more humiliated he was. He opened the bag and looked inside. All the notes were fake. He had been conned by that begging woman. But at the same time, Qin Ming was puzzled. The woman didn't look like she was scheming. Moreover, he had donated money to begin with. If that woman was a liar, then she wouldn't have had to come back. Just what happened in between? But Qin Ming had no time to find out the truth anymore. He had already screwed up. Zhao Liniu and the other two friends were silent. They tried their best to help Qin Ming, but if Qin Ming kept making a fool of himself, things would be difficult for them too. Zhao Menghua was speechless as she closed her eyes, regretting that she kept saying good things about Qin Ming. Luo Danan laughed his head off as he spoke, “Muling, hahaha... I swear, my money is all real, hahaha! I promise I can tell real and fake money apart, unlike this guy. Hahahaha!” Chen Muling's face darkened. Being 170cm tall and looking so slender, she stood out among the crowd. She was a very proud woman and had given Qin Ming a chance so she could also evade Luo Danan. In the end, Qin Ming embarrassed her and now everyone was mocking her too. Chen Muling stomped her foot furiously, “Luo Danan, where is your car? Didn't you say you'd take me on a ride?” Luo Danan's became excited knowing his chance had come. She had chosen him in a fit of rage, and now his plan was to take her on a ride, have a meal, watch a movie and go to a hotel. With that, he would have successfully won over Chen Muling, the business school beauty.Luo Danan even gave Qin Ming a look of 'gratitude' and said, “Thanks, bro. Hehehe.” Soon after, a red, convertible Ferrari stopped in front of everyone. Luo Danan personally opened the door for Chen Muling. The woman angrily sat in the car, not caring about Zhao Menghua and the rest anymore. As for the other women, they had been paid to butter him up, so naturally they wouldn't interfere with his activities. Sitting in the driver's seat, Luo Danan waved, “Punk, if you don't have money, go home and rub one out with a video instead of acting like a bigshot. Have you ever experienced the excitement of speeding on a night road at 300km per hour? You'll never be able to understand that feeling your whole life. You're a funny guy. Haha.” Vroom vroom vroom! The Ferrari revved and was gone in an instant. Zhao Menghua left in a fit, “Liang Shaoyong, if you ever ask me for help with this again, I'll break up with you.” Liang Shaoyong panicked and chased after her, “Darling, this is all a misunderstanding! Wait up!” Sun Zhipeng and Zhao Liniu patted Qin Ming on the shoulder, asking, “Ming, what happened to you? Even when you were with Li Meng, things were never this bad.” Qin Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. “If I told you about all the misunderstandings that have happened, would you believe me?” Zhao Liniu helplessly shook his head and said, “There's no point even if we believe you. Forget it. You must be tired, so just go back first.” Qin Ming really couldn't explain things. If he could, he'd have to start from when he bumped into Li Meng. How long would he have to spend explaining? Deciding not to explain, Qin Ming returned to the dormitory. But just when Qin Ming had finished showering and changed his clothes, he received a phone call from Liang Shaoyong, “Qing Ming, hurry over to the City First Hospital. Something's happened. Chen Muling got into an accident, but there's not enough to cover the bills. Help me get my wallet from underneath my pillow and bring it here.” Qin Ming didn't expect an accident to happen within just half an hour. Such luck. This time, he wouldn't allow himself to be embarrassed over money matters again. He made a call to Song Ying and said, “Song Ying, come take me to the City First Hospital.” Very shortly, an extended Rolls-Royce arrived at the school gate. Song Ying opened the car door for Qin Ming.Song Ying said, “Young master, is your friend being hospitalized? The City First Hospital is also one of your businesses. Hou Qing, who belongs to the Guang City Business Management Group, is responsible for managing it. As long as you let them know, your friend can enjoy the best and fastest treatments.” In truth, Qin Ming also had no idea what was going on. “There's no rush, let's go over and have a look first,” he merely said. When Qin Ming arrived at the emergency room, there were many people there. He saw Liang Shaoyong, Zhao Menghua and the others surrounding and comforting Chen Muling, who was lying on the hospital bed. The woman had sprained her neck and her forehead was injured slightly. Aside from that, she seemed fine. But Luo Danan was nowhere to be seen. Seeing Qin Ming arrive, Liang Shaoyong retrieved his wallet from him and said, “You guys wait here. I'll go take care of the fees first.” Qin Ming asked while walking, “What happened?” Liang Shaoyong replied softly, “Something terrible happened. That lunatic Luo Danan drove at 300km/h and lost control. He braked suddenly but still collided with the car in front. Chen Muling had worn her seatbelt and was protected by the airbag, so she's only got a sprain and a slight concussion. But Luo Danan wasn't wearing his seatbelt, so he was sent flying out of his car and hit by a funeral car. He's already been sent to the morgue.” “......” Qin Ming was utterly speechless. The guy actually gambled his entire life just to get laid? Life's ups and downs sure are exciting. As Liang Shaoyong went to pay the bills, Qin Ming had wanted to buy some fruits back, but ended up catching sight of Bai Yuchun, the girl who had given him the stacks of fake notes. She happened to be tugging at a doctor's sleeve as she pleaded, “Doctor, I'm begging you. Hasn't the surgery been arranged? Can't you carry it out first? You have to save her.” The doctor merely shook his head, “The surgeries are arranged by the hospital. I have to operate on five to six people every day. If I don't operate on your mother, I still have to operate on others. There'd be too much for me to handle then. You'd better hurry up and pay for the surgery. I thought you had prepared the money, but it turned out to be a bunch of fake notes. Do you think everything is a joke?” “But I don't know why either...” Bai Yuchun covered her face and wept. “I was sure it was all real money. I had borrowed it from a loan company. Why? Why...” The doctor responded, “Miss, the hospital isn't a charitable organization. If we don't have money, how can we afford all the equipment, materials, blood, medication and utility bills? Without money, there's nothing we can do. So please think of a way.”Bai Yuchun helplessly sat on the floor in a daze. Disappointment filled her eyes as her tears streamed down. Ring ring ring. Hearing her phone, she quickly took out an old phone. “Hello? Brother? Are you with sister-in-law now? I... I lost the money meant for mom's surgery. I'm so useless... W-What? You took it? When did you? ... You swapped the real money for fake notes!? Brother, y-you... Do you just want to watch mom die? Brother! H-hello?” Qin Ming watched silently as Bai Yuchun looked even more disappointed after hanging up the call. It looked like complete darkness had surrounded her by a three-meter radius. It was as though all the nurses and patients' family members had a silent agreement not to go near there. Hearing her conversation, Qin Ming understood why his 88,000 were all fake notes. This girl's brother had secretly swapped them out and used the real money that was meant for his mother - all for his own enjoyment. Sometimes, the way two children treated their parents could be so different. At this point, Qin Ming didn't want to blame her for giving him fake money anymore. She was in a pinch herself. Qin Ming waved at Song Ying who was nearby. Song Ying immediately walked up and asked softly, “Is something the matter, young master?” Pointing to the girl sitting on the floor, Qin Ming said, “Get the hospital to immediately arrange a surgery for her mother. If she asks who helped her, just tell her the world's richest man did.” Song Ying walked towards Bai Yuchun and tapped her shoulder. Meanwhile, Qin Ming watched as Liang Shaoyong settled the bills and followed him to see Chen Muling. But upon returning to the emergency room, they saw Chen Muling and the others being surrounded by a group of burly men. An extravagant-looking woman pointed to Chen Muling and screamed, “You jinx! I will have you pay for my son's life. Tonight... You. Will. Die.”
