From Evil Sect Leader to Doctor-Chapter 332 - 307: Inescapable

With his son’s care, Tong Guangsheng recovered quickly and was able to get out of bed after a week. The incident at the rafting port, where he killed three kidnappers, has been deemed self-defense, and the police will not pursue legal responsibility against him.

There’s still some regret about the incident; during the escape, the remaining kidnappers took 15 million with them. Tong Guangsheng was never too concerned about money, and after this ordeal, he cares even less. Whether it’s 15 million or 30 million lost, it cannot compare to the importance of his family’s safety.

Earlier in the morning, Shu Yuanhang’s family came to visit him. Worried that the young children would disturb his father’s rest, Shu Yuanhang asked his wife to leave with them first.

Tong Guangsheng hadn’t smoked for several days. With his body slightly recovered, he had a craving for cigarettes again and quietly asked his son if he could smoke. Shu Yuanhang glanced at him.

Tong Guangsheng immediately lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong: "Alright, just pretend I never said anything."

Shu Yuanhang said, "Smoking is harmful to your health. You might as well take this opportunity to quit."

Tong Guangsheng replied, "I can’t quit. At my age, I don’t have any other hobbies."

Shu Yuanhang said, "It’s a bad habit. Smoking can cause lung cancer."

Tong Guangsheng responded, "In my condition, do I still fear getting lung cancer?"

Shu Yuanhang said, "Dad, once you recover, you can undergo stem cell transplantation. In at most six months, you can be back to how you used to be."

Tong Guangsheng nodded: "Don’t worry, I also want to live a few more years." In the past, he was not afraid of death, but ever since he saw his grandson, his desire to live grew stronger. Having missed his son’s growth, he does not want to miss his grandson’s. He wants to watch his grandson grow up and achieve great things.

Shu Yuanhang laughed and said, "You will live a long life."

Tong Guangsheng said, "Director Shu, I’ll accept your blessing."

Shu Yuanhang said, "Dad, we’ve discussed it and plan to stay in the country for future development."

Tong Guangsheng was extremely delighted. He also knew about Luan Yuchuan’s intervention. Li Zongyuan had promised not to take action against his son as long as he stayed in the country. Initially, Tong Guangsheng was considering going to Penang alone once he recovered to eliminate Li Zongyuan as a threat. However, it now seems that their family crisis has been temporarily resolved.

"Have you thought about where you want to develop? The Capital City or Hu Hai?"

Given Shu Yuanhang’s technical skills and industry reputation, these two places would undoubtedly be the best choices to realize his self-worth. Alternatively, he could choose Nanjiang. Whatever his choice, Tong Guangsheng will fully support it.

"I want to return to Dongzhou."

Surprised, Tong Guangsheng looked at his son. Although he hoped his son’s family could return to their hometown, he didn’t want his son and daughter-in-law’s development to be affected because of him.

Shu Yuanhang said, "From what I know, the average medical conditions in the country are quite good. Dongzhou also has good hospitals. We can have space to develop as well. Plus, Xiaonianzu is very attached to you. If you’re willing, I plan to settle down in Dongzhou, and we can live together." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Willing, willing!" Tong Guangsheng nodded repeatedly and eagerly added that he would take responsibility for everything.

Shu Yuanhang didn’t hold back and laughed, "You just pay for it. Xing Mei and I will choose the location."

Tong Guangsheng said, "Nonsense, my money is yours."

The father and son laughed together, but the laughter pulled at Tong Guangsheng’s chest wound, causing him to frown slightly.

"Dad, are you okay?"

Tong Guangsheng waved his hand and said, "I’m fine. By the way, is there a hospital you’re interested in?"

Shu Yuanhang said, "Xu Chunliang said he could help me arrange something in Changxing."

Tong Guangsheng said, "Changxing? It’s not that great in Dongzhou. The best is the Medical University Affiliated Hospital. I can help you with the contacts. If you don’t like being managed by others, we can start our own private hospital."

Shu Yuanhang said, "I still want to understand the domestic medical system first. It’s best to adapt in a hospital environment. Xing Mei and I rely on our skills. It’s the same wherever we go."

At this time, Xu Chunliang knocked and entered the room, holding a box of LEGO toys.

Both Tong Guangsheng and his son were a bit confused. Did he buy the wrong gift?

Xu Chunliang, of course, had his reasons. Giving cigarettes and alcohol was useless to Tong Guangsheng, and nutritional products were mostly scams these days. Bringing some joy is better. Later, Tong Guangsheng could give the LEGO toys to his grandson, which would double the happiness.

Tong Guangsheng sighed and said, "You’re clever, kid. I like this gift."

Shu Yuanhang invited Xu Chunliang to sit down and made him a cup of tea.

Xu Chunliang took the tea, had a sip, and said, "What were you two talking about that made you so happy?"

Shu Yuanhang said, "We were just talking about you, and here you come."

Xu Chunliang laughed, "They say Dongzhou has a strange aura, and Nanjiang is just as quirky."

Shu Yuanhang told Xu Chunliang about his decision to return to Dongzhou for development, and Xu Chunliang said, "That’s great."

Shu Yuanhang said, "I’ve initially decided to go to your hospital."

Xu Chunliang nodded repeatedly and said, "Sure, Weishan Island Hospital is practically no more than a word from me."

Shu Yuanhang was momentarily taken aback but quickly realized that this guy was joking with him, so he laughed and said, "Alright, I’ll go to your Weishan Island Hospital. At the very least, prepare a decent surgery room for me."

Xu Chunliang patted his shoulder, "That little temple can’t accommodate a great Bodhisattva like you. In my opinion, even Changxing is too small for you."

Tong Guangsheng said, "Look, Chunliang thinks just like me, right?"

Shu Yuanhang laughed and said, "Dad, don’t involve yourself in this matter." He called Xu Chunliang to chat outside since his father was still in the post-surgery recovery period and needed proper rest.

The two went outside, and Shu Yuanhang got two cans of heated coffee from the vending machine, handing one can to Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang said, "Are you really planning to go to Changxing? I’ll talk to Uncle Gao and help you secure some relocation funds."

Shu Yuanhang said, "No need to mention that."

Xu Chunliang immediately understood. Shu Yuanhang had money, not to mention that their couple already had good financial conditions, plus his father was a billionaire.

Shu Yuanhang meant that his move to Changxing was mainly to adapt to the domestic medical system. He was not sure if Changxing suited him, and he didn’t need any relocation funds. He wanted to join Changxing in a cooperative manner, and if the cooperation went well, he might continue for the long term. If he found Changxing unsuitable, he could leave at any time.

Xu Chunliang thought Shu Yuanhang’s idea was very correct. Taking from others makes you short-handed, eating from others makes you soft-hearted; Shu Yuanhang surely did not want to be too bound by Changxing.

Xu Chunliang said that he would handle this matter, and true to his word, he gave Gao Xinhua a heads-up first.

Gao Xinhua was planning to come to Nanjiang to visit Tong Guangsheng these days. Upon hearing that Shu Yuanhang and his wife intended to come to Changxing, he was very delighted, "That’s great. The couple are renowned experts in Asia. If they can join Changxing, it would be a fantastic thing for us. I’ll discuss this with Dean Zhao right away."

Xu Chunliang said, "Don’t be in a rush, listen to me completely before making a decision." He explained Shu Yuanhang’s meaning once more.

Gao Xinhua fell silent after hearing this. Given Shu Yuanhang’s talent and personality, he could leave anytime if he was not satisfied with Changxing. Moreover, if he made this connection, it might make Zhao Feiyang overthink.

The factions within Changxing have been talked about for a while, supposedly since he started serving as Secretary of Changxing. It’s said that Changxing has three major factions: the largest is the reform group centered around Zhao Feiyang; then there’s the Huayuan Sect led by Vice Dean Yuan Peiqiang; and lastly, the public faction centered around Gao Xinhua.

Of course, Gao Xinhua does not acknowledge any factions, nor did he secretly gather power to oppose Zhao Feiyang, but others thought differently.

Anyway, everyone believed that Xu Chunliang was his core member. With Shu Yuanhang and his wife’s status in the medical field, their arrival would certainly make them leading figures in cardiothoracic and hematology. If he recommended them both, it might cause apprehensions from others.

Gao Xinhua, who has mingled within the system for years, was very clear about the rules. Of course, he would be happy to be the referrer if Shu Yuanhang and his wife could sign a long-term contract with Changxing. Nonetheless, he felt that Shu Yuanhang possessed the same unruly trait as Xu Chunliang; if he quickly left after arriving, it would put him in a difficult position.

Gao Xinhua suggested that Xu Chunliang contact Zhao Feiyang directly, it would be best for him to stay out of it.

Xu Chunliang couldn’t help but laugh after hearing Gao Xinhua say this.

Gao Xinhua said, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Secretary Gao is so farsighted, shrewd, and prepared for any scenario, I’m impressed!"

"You’ve grown audacious, actually mocking me."

Xu Chunliang said, "I truly wasn’t mocking. I also feel it’s not appropriate for you to come forward, but I needed to let you know to avoid you blaming me in the future."

"You brat, you’re too cunning."

Xu Chunliang said, "Having been around you for so long, I’ve picked up a little political skill!"

"Pah!"

Xu Chunliang hung up the phone and immediately called Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang was looking at WeChat, and Pei Lin had sent him several wedding dresses, seeking his opinion. Zhao Feiyang casually picked one; he was being increasingly perfunctory about the matter, actually about Pei Lin too.

Zhao Feiyang had been reflecting frequently lately, questioning how he, who was so astute, could make such a foolish mistake, entering one besieged fortress from another. Agreeing to marry Pei Lin was mainly to give their future child an identity. As a father, he felt obliged to assume this responsibility.

Until now, Zhao Feiyang hadn’t told his father about this matter. He knew his father’s temper, who would take out a belt and hit him in a fit of rage, and it would be a real beating.

Despite Zhao Feiyang being this grown, deep down, he still felt a genuine fear of his father. From a young age, he knew his father was a war hero, wanting to be like him and taking his father as a role model. But his father’s fiery temper also instilled a sense of fear within him. In his adolescence, he began yearning to break free from his father’s shadow, hoping to surpass him.

Perhaps every son goes through such a journey of emotions.

Regarding Pei Lin, Zhao Feiyang had been avoiding the matter. He hadn’t introduced Pei Lin to his family yet. Soon, Pei Lin’s pregnancy would be noticeable, making the marriage inevitable, and escape was impossible.
