At the sa ti, Liu Dezhu was going to the Third People's Hospital of Luo City with his classmates.
This was one of the best hospitals around.
Last night, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen's wounds were briefly treated in a clinic before going to the hospital ER.
After their injuries stabilized a little, they were sent to the city for further treatnt.
Right now, their condition just stabilized but was still in the ICU.
It seed that because they could afford it, all the dical devices they used were the best possible, and more than a dozen doctors were conducting expert consultations.
It was so that these injuries wouldn't leave any after-effects.
Their parents had already flown over to Luo City on their private jets and were standing outside the ward right now.
When Liu Dezhu and his classmates ca to the ward, they saw six or seven n in black suits standing outside the ward, each with transparent headsets hanging from their ears.
These must be the bodyguards of those true bosses.
A bodyguard stopped these students, and a middle-aged man looked at them, "Who are you?"
Class leader of Class 4 Xie Xun said, "Hello, we're Xiaoniu and Tianzhen's classmates, and we're here to visit."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a mont, "Excuse , which one of you is Liu Dezhu?"
In the crowd, Liu Dezhu was also a little surprised, "I… I am."
The middle-aged man strode over and stretched out his right hand to Liu Dezhu, "Thank you classmate for saving Xiaoniu. He told everything after he woke up. If it wasn't because of you and your n, they would've been kidnapped or killed."
Liu Dezhu was silent for a few seconds before reaching out to shake hands with the man and saying, "I didn't really do much."
It seed that Hu Xiaoniu's injuries had stabilized, so the middle-aged man was relaxed a bit. He smiled as he said, "It's good for young people to be humble, but it's not good to be too humble."
In fact, this morning, Hu Xiaoniu had recovered a bit and was able to retell the story briefly.
As a successful businessman, Hu Xiaoniu's father didn't think ti travelers were a big deal at first. Of the seven bodyguards outside the door right now, one of them was a ti traveler.
This kind of person had a natural arrogance, and ordinary ti travelers really couldn't threaten him to any extent.
However, after Hu Xiaoniu encountered the danger in City 7, his mindset changed.
Because at that mont, he realized that his status and wealth in the Outer World couldn't help his son much.
He could buy certain items from the Inner World with his wealth, but that didn't an he could buy everything in the Inner World with just money.
That was always why he agreed to let Hu Xiaoniu transfer to Luo City.
The goal was to find a ti traveler nad Liu Dezhu.
Moreover, Liu Dezhu, a ti walker who always possessed extre luck and avoided dangerous situations in advance, was different from the others. He could turn the tide for them in the future.
Hu Xiaoniu's father had a great sense of foresight. He knew that Liu Dezhu might not be very notable now, but he could see that Liu Dezhu was going places.
This massive and impactful transmigration just started, so who could know for certain which person would have a bright future?
A worthy investnt.
Of course, this might also be because the middle-aged businessman has never seen Liu Dezhu's reaction while facing the danger. If he did, he might have a different opinion.
At least Liu Dezhu looked like a normal person at this mont…
Hu Xiaoniu's father thought for a while and said, "I talked to Xiaoniu this morning, and I wanted to transfer him back to Hai City Middle School, but he refused. I thought, maybe he wanted to be closer to you, so I'm thinking that I can transfer you to Hai City as well. There, you'll have better resources and…"
Rich people's approach was indeed unique. Others were hoping to get closer to Liu Dezhu, while Hu Xiaoniu's father was getting Liu Dezhu closer to him.
But Liu Dezhu quickly refused, "Sorry, but I'm not planning to go to Hai City yet. I've been living here ever since I'm born. My family and friends are all here."
Hu Xiaoniu's father said, "I can prepare you a house in Hai City. You can bring your family over, and I can give you a settlent fee."
"There's no need for that," Liu Dezhu shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness."
At this ti, Liu Dezhu had already weighed the pros and cons.
A house in Hai City1A decent apartnt in Shanghai (Hai City in this novel) at a good location is easily worth millions of dollars with a settlent fee was very tempting.
But his boss was in Luo City.
Others might think that he saved Hu Xiaoniu, but the truth was that if it wasn't for his boss's n, he would've been long dead on the Laojun Mountain.
The criminals were planning to kill him, not to use him as a mule!
If he had a choice, he would rather be a mule.
At first, he wanted to go to Hai City, but his boss wouldn't. In Hai City, if soone tried to kidnap him or wanted sothing he had, he would surely be dead.
Also, Liu Dezhu realized the importance of improving his strength and combat power during the escape.
Many ti travelers said online that in the Inner World, money couldn't buy you genetic injections. Most of the genetic injections in the black market were fake ones.
That boss in a cat face mask was different. The one he got was genuine.
The FDE genetic injection that he got still have four more injections, 004, 003, 002, and 001. His future was in his boss's hands.
He wasn't expecting too much, but at least he want to finish the sequence of genetic injections and reach Level B.
He saw that even in the Inner World, Level B masters had considerable status. Level A masters were rare after all.
At that ti, getting a house in Hai City would be a piece of cake for him!
Moreover, he took half of the double compensation that Hu Xiaoniu gave him last ti.
This ti, it would be even better if Hu Xiaoniu could give more. Boss wouldn't know how much he actually got anyways.
As the saying goes, investnts should be made for the long term. Liu Dezhu felt that this business that he was in right now was worth more than a house in the long term.
Besides, even if he went to Hai City, the boss would still use himself to do business, but what if another more capable person got spotted by the boss?
Then all his effort would be wasted.
As a dog who licks its owner's boots, it was only effective up close and useless from a distance!
As he was thinking through this, Liu Dezhu felt a vibration from his communication device. He said to everyone, "Excuse , I'm going to use the restroom real quick."
He get into a stall and looked at Qing Chen's ssage, "I heard from my subordinate that Hu Xiaoniu paid double last ti and he would do the sa this ti as well?"
Liu Dezhu, who was delighted just a second ago, was now in a cold sweat.
He didn't even know that happened yesterday!
Brother Hu Xiaoniu, stop leaking business secrets!
This was the second ti now. The first ti, he took a watch, and now, it was gold bars. Liu Dezhu didn't even dare to think about the publishnt waiting for him when he get back into that prison.
He replied dejectedly in the restroom, "Boss, I'll bring everything back next ti…"
Outside the restroom, everyone was wondering why Liu Dezhu took so long.
At this ti, Liu Dezhu walked out.
Hu Xiaoniu's father looked at him and said with a smile, "I've given it so thought. You're still young, so houses and stuff like that aren't appealing to you. How about this, tell what you want, and I can do my best to arrange it for you."
Liu Dezhu hesitated for a mont and said, "Uncle, you might not know, but I like to wish people an early new year as a hobby…"2It's a tradition to give red envelopes containing money to those who give you good wishes during the Chinese New Year. So this is an indirect way of saying: I WANT YOUR MONEY! : )
