Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 563 - 397: Stranger’s Call (Part 2)

Li Jing looked puzzled, his mind swiftly flashing through the faces of acquaintances from Tianhai, yet he still couldn't guess whose number it was.

He pressed the answer button, and amidst the electrical noise in the receiver, he could vaguely hear the roar of cars on the road.

"Hello, is this President Li Jing?"

A middle-aged man's voice came through the receiver, with a trace of barely noticeable tension and restraint at the end.

Li Jing's voice was as calm as usual, frowning slightly, "Who is this?"

"Ah, President Li, hello!"

The other party hastily raised his voice upon hearing him, the background noise mixed with various street sounds, "I am Zhang Xinxin's father, I'm really sorry to bother you at this time."

"Zhang Xinxin's father?"

Li Jing was surprised, then asked puzzledly, "May I ask what's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, the sound of fabric rustling was heard, as if someone was repeatedly twisting the hem of their clothes, "Xinxin told me not to call you, but I really have no way out... I've sought everyone I could, pleaded with everyone I could. I even contacted Xinxin's mother..."

The voice abruptly stopped, followed by a low cough in the receiver.

Li Jing's expression slightly changed, a hint of doubt crossing his mind.

"Did something happen to Zhang Xinxin?"

This question led to a dead silence on the phone, and after ten seconds, a long sigh came through, with a hoarse, weary voice, "Actually, Xinxin didn't want me to say, but to keep hiding it..."

The old man's voice suddenly choked up a bit, then explained, "Half a month ago, Xinxin suddenly had a persistent high fever, lasting for a whole eight days.

Thanks to her friend Miss An's help, she was sent to the Celestial Sea Central Hospital.

They found out it's a major illness related to the immune system, though I can't remember the name..."

Severely ill?

Li Jing's pupils slightly contracted, the hotel's central air conditioning's cool breeze swept across his neck.

Unconsciously, the image of Zhang Xinxin, who was always full of vitality and passion, emerged in his mind.

"What's the situation now?" He stood up and walked to the window, his voice unconsciously becoming more serious.

On the other end of the line, the sound of paper urgently flipping could be heard, accompanied by the old man's heavy and panicked breathing, clearly indicating he was frantically searching through documents.

"The doctor said she needs long-term treatment, with a series of complex examinations and special treatment methods needed in the future, and the costs are quite high.

Luckily, Miss An helped us a great deal, lending us 400,000, which really saved an emergency."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't speak, continuing to listen to the other party.

The other party spoke, then suddenly erupted into a fit of severe coughing, taking quite a while to catch his breath, before continuing:

"President Li, Xinxin often mentioned you as her benefactor, helping her a great deal. I'm really worried about Xinxin's health, and had no choice but to disturb you.

I'm not asking to borrow money from you, but rather, there's something more important I want to ask you to help with.

You're capable, a successful person with a wide network, so I'm thinking, could you help us find the best doctors for her treatment.

I have only this precious daughter, and over the years, as her father, I haven't fulfilled the responsibilities of a good father, haven't provided her a good life, making her endure a lot of hardships.

Now... now something has happened to her, yet I can't help at all, it truly breaks my heart, so I can only beg you."

The old man's voice was slightly trembling, filled with heartache, self-blame, and helplessness.

Listening to the old man's words, Li Jing couldn't help but slightly frown, recalling Zhang Xinxin, that lively, exuberant girl with a somewhat charming smile.

He gazed at the distant scenery outside the window, yet there was a stirring within his heart.

He hadn't expected such a vibrant girl to suddenly fall seriously ill.

But illness is that ruthless, showing no mercy just because someone is strong.

After a moment, he finally spoke: "Don't worry, I will try my best to find the best doctors and hospital for Xinxin, and have An Tong oversee these matters, you can rest assured."

Hearing these words, the old man on the other side immediately expressed gratitude, "Thank you, thank you so much, President Li, you truly are a benefactor to our family!"

Yet, towards the end of the voice, there was a slight choke, as if emotions repressed for a long time finally found an outlet.

After hanging up, Li Jing didn't think much, and immediately dialed An Tong's phone.

After telling An Tong about the conversation with the old man, An Tong's voice turned a bit low, saying: "Actually, I intended to tell you, but Xinxin kept forbidding me from doing so, fearing it would ruin your mood during your travels, she didn't want to become a burden to you, so she was unwilling to let you know."

An Tong's voice carried a tone of apology and melancholy, "Xinxin's condition is still unstable and under treatment.

But don't worry, she's my best friend, when we first arrived at Tianhai, it was just the two of us relying on each other, taking care of each other, and getting through many difficult times together.

I won't stand by idly watching her suffer, I've always been helping with her matters."

Li Jing could sense An Tong's inner sadness and concern, frowning as he asked: "How is she doing now?"

An Tong replied: "Xinxin's condition is still under treatment, but presently her vital signs are relatively stable.

I lent her some money, and she herself has nearly saved up 200,000, so as for the expenses, it should not be a major problem for now.

But as her dad said, the main problem now is that the hospital's resources are very tight, medical resource allocation is uneven, making it impossible to secure better specialists and doctors, which is the most worrying aspect."

Hearing this, Li Jing remained silent for a while, then nodded: "Alright, I understand."

Thinking of Zhang Xinxin being unwilling to trouble him even at this point, a peculiar emotion surged in Li Jing's heart, feeling both sorry for Zhang Xinxin and a newfound understanding of her.

Then Li Jing said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to handle the hospital and doctor stuff, then you help with the coordination. When I return to Tianhai later, I'll go and visit her."

"You are going back to Tianhai?" An Tong's tone was full of surprise.

Li Jing nodded: "That's right, I need to return to Tianhai before going abroad. Since something happened to Zhang Xinxin, I should go and see her, cheering her up would be good too."

Upon hearing this, An Tong's voice carried a sense of relief and happiness: "Alright, I understand. Let me know when you're back, and I'll come to pick you up."

After hanging up, Li Jing pondered for a moment, then called Wei Jia, and also contacted Mayor Hu's wife, Xu Yingning.

These two people had the widest resources and connections among those he knew in Tianhai, and were the most likely to help him.

Indeed, upon hearing the news, they both expressed willingness to offer help.

Especially Xu Yingning, who utilized her contacts and resources to help Li Jing reach out to several renowned specialists and provided some feasible treatment plans, quickly giving responses.

Li Jing forwarded all this information to An Tong, who upon receiving it, immediately began responsible for handling the related matters.

Li Jing understood An Tong's character, knowing she is diligent, responsible, and reliable, so he trusted that there would be no major problems with her overseeing these issues.

However, he also knew clearly in his heart, the biggest challenge now was whether Zhang Xinxin could endure, as most immune system-related diseases are difficult and complex, with high difficulty in curing.

Putting down the phone, Li Jing's mind once again recalled the previous scenes with Zhang Xinxin.

He realized Zhang Xinxin rarely discussed her issues with him, always presenting herself in the most energetic manner, never showing vulnerability, always active, healthy, happy, and carefree in front of him, always proactively attending to him.

The only worry she revealed was the fear of him leaving, forgetting her.

Thinking of this, Li Jing gazed at the black sky outside the window, sighed softly, and slowly said:

"Zhang Xinxin, society couldn't defeat you, don't let illness defeat you."
