Chapter 632: Chapter 632

How sharp was Liu Zhizhong's mind?

Hearing "ZZ C," how could he not realize it meant Zhang Zhengchang?

But he just had to say it!

Even the young nurse chuckled and said, "Sir, you're quite the wit. As for the old gentleman's name, I'm not at liberty to disclose that—it's hospital policy to respect the patients' privacy! He knows you, though, so please come in and have a chat."

"Alright, let's chat then. I'm curious to see which damn Zheng Zhichuang it is!"

The nurse laughed again, covering her mouth before turning to lead the way.

In reality, Liu Zhizhong was thinking that this old geezer was recovering quite quickly—how many days had it been, and he could already see me? It seems these foreign-funded hospitals really are something!

As they walked, he whispered to the nurse, "How is the patient doing? Where did he see me?"

"The old gentleman was assisted by our medical team into the restroom, and he saw you through the restroom window. He's lying down now, not yet able to move freely."

"Oh, right, his 'eggs' were shattered not too long ago; of course, he should be lying down…"

"Uh… sir, you know about his injury?" The nurse was surely inexperienced, a bit too curious. "The medical record says it was an accidental injury caused by a fall while walking?"

Liu Zhizhong chuckled and nodded, "Yes, it was an accidental injury." He certainly wouldn't say that it was an intentional injury he had orchestrated! Thinking of Lu Yumei now, hmm, she really was reliable!

"Oh, that's quite pitiable—a 65-year-old man, and now without future prospects of fatherhood."

"Little sister, you're not making sense! What does a 65-year-old need with fathering children?"

Joking their way there, Liu Zhizhong put on a straight face as they entered the sickroom, and the nurse did the same.

The luxurious sickroom was damn huge—big enough to find a few old grandmas to dance square dances for Zhang Zhengchang.

He lay there, alone on the giant bed, still fully reclined. He couldn't have sat up or reclined partially even if he wanted to—having gone through surgery 'down there,' any increase in pressure to the area would be unbearable.

Next to him was another bedside nurse, but it still made the wretched old turtle look lonely.

His complexion was pale, his wrinkles deeper, and his gray hair messier than before.

When he saw Liu Zhizhong coming, he was filled with rage, but he clenched his old teeth and endured.

He just waved his hand, gesturing for both nurses to leave and shut the door behind them.

Liu Zhizhong, beaming, walked over to the bedside and said, "Sorry about this, old leader. I didn't bring any gifts when I came today."

As soon as he had finished speaking, the two nurses had reached the door and closed it behind them.

Zhang Zhengchang's face turned dark with anger, and his eyes narrowed as he stared hard at Liu Zhizhong. "Cut the crap, will you? What are you doing here?"

Just as Liu Zhizhong was about to say something, Zhang Zhengchang added, "You've been to see Luo Tianlin and Li Tanglu, haven't you?"

"Luo Tianlin, Li Tanglu…"

Liu Zhizhong repeated the names and considered the LTL patient code he had seen at those people's villa—it did seem to be the case.

But inside, he was quite shocked.

As for Luo Tianlin, everyone knew him.

But this Li Tanglu—that was something else entirely. A native 'red' scion, all the way up to being number one in Hu Yang Province. So, after retiring, he had been living out his old age in the Provincial City?

No wonder Luo Tianlin was accompanying him here to recover and convalesce! Such high-profile figures were certainly worth associating with.

Li Tanglu was the kind of old leader whose mere word could help or ruin your day.

From Liu Zhizhong's perspective, if Li Tanglu had a grandson or such who was unmarried, Luo Tianlin would have married Luo Shuxiu off to him, rather than to someone like Qian Xuan.

But, Qian's family power wasn't too shabby either, spanning across Hu Yang and Yunxi provinces!

Zhang Zhengchang looked at him with cold eyes. "Stop playing dumb, okay?"

Liu Zhizhong gave a forced smile, somewhat annoyed, "Old Secretary, I only knew about Minister Luo being there. How could I have known about Old Secretary Li?"

Zhang Zhengchang let out two cold snorts.

Liu Zhizhong thought to himself angrily: Old bastard, you're snorting at your mother? In this fucking state, what are you still trying to show off?

Zhang Zhengchang asked coldly, "What's your mother-in-law's stance now?"

Liu Zhizhong was taken aback and mentally ranted again. Asking about Lu Yumei's stance—who the hell do you think you are to demand her stance now?

Liu Zhizhong managed to force out another bitter smile. "I don't know her stance. In front of her, am I not like a dog?"

Zhang Zhengchang stared at him even more coldly, his eyes squinting to slits, "You really don't know?"

"I don't know. I don't even dare to ask. She only said not reporting to the police was the best approach. But there's a video from my car that she got hold of. She said once her face heals, once your injury heals, she would wait to see your stance."

"She… wants my stance…" Zhang Zhengchang's anger rose but then he seemed cowed, deflated as he nodded, "Alright, my stance… Sigh, I'll tell you and you can record it, take it back to her? This is my utmost sincerity, I hope she won't press too hard, let's forgive and forget, right…" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁

As he said this, he had none of that Yangzhou King temperament left, looking just like a pitiful old wreck.

People should have seen him back in the day in Yangzhou—he was one tough old coot!

"Oh…" Liu Zhizhong nodded understandingly, taking out his phone as if to record obediently.
