Supremely Talented Tyrant-Chapter 1112 - 1111: I’ll Go Take a Look

Chapter 1112 -1111: I’ll Go Take a Look

“Forget it, never mind.”

After thinking for a moment, Hao Jian shook his head. The train was still moving, and perhaps the elderly gentleman would soon realize his money had been stolen and someone would handle the matter. Hao Jian decided not to bother with it.

He glanced around the compartment with disinterest before turning his attention back to Lin Qingxue. With a light laugh, he said, “Perhaps I really am just a laborer, as that gentleman suggested.”

Hao Jian touched his nose and smiled slightly. Under the murderous glare of Lai Zhiwen, he began chatting freely with Lin Qingxue. Lai Zhiwen, sitting nearby, grew increasingly red-eyed. Several times he tried to interrupt their conversation, but Hao Jian always managed to dismiss him with nonchalant remarks.

This man is quite interesting…

Watching Hao Jian talking and laughing, Lin Qingxue’s gaze was peculiar. Although she was a freshman, growing up in such a family environment had made her attuned to human nature.

While Lin Qingxue would not claim to understand the human heart fully, she had enough confidence to be somewhat proud over the years. The actions of her so-called peers seemed like mere child’s play to her.

But when it came to Hao Jian, she was completely baffled. To say he was an ordinary worker, yet upon closer inspection, he didn’t seem like one. To say he wasn’t, how could one explain his clothes?

“Cough, cough…”

The child’s coughing never ceased for a moment in the compartment. The pallor of his already sallow face worsened. His small brows furrowed tightly as if in great pain. The elderly man beside him appeared quite anxious, gently patting the boy’s back, trying to relieve his breath.

Many passengers in the compartment felt sympathy upon seeing the child’s continual coughing and worsening complexion. A man sitting opposite the elderly gentleman looked at the little boy.

“Sir, what’s wrong with your child? Has he fallen ill? His complexion seems to be worsening…”

Upon hearing this, the elderly man’s expression changed several times before he sighed and said, “This kid lost his parents from a young age, and I’ve been looking after him. Recently, I don’t know if he went to play somewhere, but he came back like this. Initially, he was fine, still able to eat, but later, he couldn’t even manage that…”

Upon hearing this, the man’s face showed distress. Such a young child had to endure the pain of losing a parent, but unfortunately, misfortune hadn’t left him; it clung to him instead.

“Afterward, I took him to the county hospital. The doctors said he had pneumonia. They tried to treat it, and in the end, although the child’s condition stopped worsening, he still didn’t recover…”

“The child’s life is hard! If his parents were here, maybe he wouldn’t be like this. Now I can only take him to a big city hospital for treatment, but I don’t even know if I have enough money to cover his medical bills…”

The elderly gentleman had already found out that treating pneumonia until fully recovered is no small expense. His entire fortune of 35,000 might only cover the initial round of treatment for his grandson.

But afterward, he would really have no way out. Once his funds ran out, so would the child’s treatment. The thought of such a small child suffering like this was heartbreaking to the old man. But he had no other way; he could only go to Hua City and try to find a solution to his financial challenge.

The passengers around him listened quietly to his plight, and gradually, many women’s eyes became moist, their eyes turning red. The child really was unfortunate!

“Sir, this isn’t much money, but please take it. Consider it a little help for the child…”

Suddenly, the man sitting in front of the elderly gentleman took 1,000 yuan out of his wallet and placed it in the old man’s hand. His voice, somewhat choked, came from within him.

“Please don’t refuse. This is just a little token from me. This money will be spent anyway, so why not give this child a chance to live.”

Upon hearing this, the elderly man, who was about to return the money, nodded with tears in his eyes and gratefully said, “Thank you!”

As this man reached out, the surrounding passengers also took money from their wallets and placed it in the old man’s hand. In just a short while, the elderly man received over four thousand yuan in donations, for which he thanked them continuously.

With this four thousand yuan, the child could safely get through the early stages of treatment. The subsequent care wouldn’t be cheap…

“What a poor child…”

Beside Hao Jian, Lin Qingxue’s eyes were red, her voice tinged with sobs. She then took out her wallet from her bag, leaving four or five hundred yuan for herself, and gave all the remaining cash.

She hurried to the elderly gentleman, gave him the money, and with a smile said, “Grandpa, please take this money. I hope your grandson gets well soon!”

“Thank you… thank you, young lady!”

The elderly man was moved as he took Lin Qingxue’s money, expressing his gratitude repeatedly. Lin Qingxue had given him five thousand yuan before returning to her seat.

“I didn’t expect you to be a little rich lady.”

Seeing the money Lin Qingxue had given, Hao Jian couldn’t help but teasingly comment, whereas Lin Qingxue blushed immediately, stuck out her tongue at Hao Jian, and said, “This money isn’t much to me, but if it increases the child’s chances, then it’s certainly worth it. Aren’t you going to donate?”

“Me?”

Hao Jian chuckled and shook his head as he took out his wallet, showing it to Lin Qingxue, and said with a wry smile, “I want to give some, but I left in a hurry and didn’t go to the bank to withdraw cash…”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

“Hmph! What pneumonia? I think it’s all just a ruse to get people to donate. Miss, I think you’ve been deceived. That old man doesn’t look like a good person, and he’s with a child? They’re definitely con artists. I’ve seen many of them; they’re all part of a collective scam!”

“Maybe a lot of people around that old man are his accomplices. Do you think in this day and age, anyone would donate so much money to a stranger?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingxue’s previously smiling expression gradually disappeared. She looked coldly at Lai Zhiwen and said coldly, “I never talk to people with dark hearts. I don’t like it!”

“Even if that old man is a con artist, I’ll accept it. After all, this money means nothing to me. But if it’s true, then I’m saving a life in disguise. Whether he’s a con artist or not, I’ll donate money!”

“Unlike some people who don’t donate a dime, yet stand here making sarcastic comments. Do you think this makes you look cool?!”

Lin Qingxue kept rebutting Lai Zhiwen, making Lai Zhiwen’s face look increasingly unpleasant. Then he fiercely glared at Hao Jian. If it weren’t for this man, things wouldn’t be like this!

Damn, Lai Zhiwen is not someone to be messed with!

Although he was in a foul mood, with Lin Qingxue here, he wanted to continue portraying himself as a noble figure to her, hoping she would abandon her prejudices against him.

“Ahem, ahem…” freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

As Lai Zhiwen’s scoff ended, Hao Jian fell silent again. Perhaps because of the little boy, the expressions on many faces in this carriage weren’t good and were filled with sadness.

They had seen news about children getting seriously ill at a young age before, but it didn’t quite hit them because it was far away. However, after witnessing the situation of this sick child today, they realized the dangers of the world were so close to them.

After the silence, the only sound remaining in the carriage was the little boy’s coughing, sometimes loud, sometimes soft. But at some point, his cough suddenly became rapid.

“Cough cough cough!”

“Pffft!”

Finally, the little boy coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered vividly onto the floor.

And it was this mouthful of blood that caused the originally silent carriage to erupt, with many faces showing urgency.

“Child, child! What’s wrong?! Are you okay?!”

The old man, seeing his grandson cough up blood, was startled, patting the boy’s body with no response, increasingly anxious.

“Help! Help! Save my child!”

“Quick, quick, quick, go find the attendant. There should be medical personnel on the train!”

“Hurry up! The child’s condition is worsening!”

Urgent voices echoed repeatedly throughout the carriage, yet many sat in their seats, unmoved.

“What’s going on?!”

Soon, an attendant arrived in the carriage and asked loudly after entering.

“Quick, quick, quick, there’s a child in trouble here, call a doctor!”

Upon hearing this, the attendant’s expression changed dramatically, then said in distress, “Because today’s train is delayed, the medical personnel didn’t board this train. There’s no medical staff on the train now!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed, and the old man’s face grew increasingly despondent. They were on a train, not a road, and stopping was impossible!

“What should we do?!”

Upon seeing this situation, Lin Qingxue became anxious, subconsciously clutching Hao Jian’s arm and murmuring.

Looking down at Lin Qingxue clutching his arm, Hao Jian showed a helpless expression because he noticed the angry gaze from across that wished to flay him alive.

“Sigh, I’ll go take a look…”

Sighing softly as he removed Lin Qingxue’s hand from his arm, Hao Jian got up.
