How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 446 Another one is stuck.

Zhang Wen arrived at Shenzhen Central Hospital wearing a hat and a mask.

There weren't many people in the lobby, only some early-rising patients and nurses walking around.

Zhang Wen walked straight to the nurses' station and asked in a feigned anxious tone, "Hello, was a patient named Tian Boyang admitted last night? He has cognitive problems and we suspect he has Alzheimer's disease."

"You are..." the nurse asked, looking puzzled.

“Oh, we work at the same company. I heard he had an accident last night, so I came to see him.” Zhang Wen explained.

The nurse didn't ask any more questions. She looked down at the computer for a few seconds and then said, "The person is in the VIP ward on the 12th floor of the inpatient department. The room number is 1208. However, the family has instructed that unless they are immediate family members, no one else can visit for the time being."

“It’s okay, I’m quite familiar with his son,” Zhang Wen said vaguely, then turned and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator reaches the 12nd floor.

As soon as Zhang Wengang stepped out of the elevator, he noticed two people standing outside a ward.

He remembered these two men; they were the henchmen who had followed Sun Shiping and Tian Boyang last night.

It seems they've been keeping watch here specifically to avoid being disturbed by reporters.

He didn't stop walking and headed towards the restroom at the end of the corridor. When he passed the ward, he checked the ward number and confirmed it was indeed 1208.

Enter the restroom.

While pretending to make a phone call, he observed room 1208, quietly waiting for an opportunity like a sniper.

About ten minutes later, the ward door suddenly opened, and Tian Yu walked out, rubbing his temples, his face full of impatience.

"It's suffocating in there. I'm going downstairs for a smoke. You guys keep watch here," Tian Yu said to Uncle Sun's henchmen.

"Tian Yu, Vice President Sun said you shouldn't wander around," one of his henchmen said.

"Stop talking nonsense! My dad isn't going anywhere. I'll be back after I have a smoke." Tian Yu waved his hand impatiently and walked towards the elevator without looking back.

Zhang Wen thought his chance had come. He had seen this person's photo on Tian Boyang's Weibo. He was indeed Tian Boyang's son, and the skill panel also showed that the person's name was Tian Yu.

He came out of the restroom and quickly stepped into the elevator just as the doors were about to close.

Because he was wearing a hat and a mask, Tian Boyang's son only glanced at him before looking down and fiddling with his phone.

Standing behind his target, Zhang Wen calmly summoned a high-level negative personality derivative from the Wenqu Tower. With a flick of his finger, the derivative landed on the target's head, making it look like a giant bat was perched on his head.

The elevator kept stopping and starting before finally reaching the first floor.

At this moment, the advanced negative personality derivative above Tian Yu's head also gradually turned white.

Just as he was about to walk out of the building, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked around, his eyes filled with doubt.

"What...what was I supposed to do again?"

Tian Yu scratched his head, his eyes filled with confusion. He stared at the crowd coming and going in the hospital lobby, like a lost child, his feet turning in circles.

Before, all I could think about was going out for some fresh air and having a smoke to relieve my inner stress and anxiety, but now all of that has vanished, leaving only a blank.

Zhang Wen, standing not far away, watched silently, his phone already recording video of Tian Yu.

The advanced negative personality derivative has already taken effect; the muddle-headed demon is controlling the other person's brain, making them completely forget about going out for a smoke.

This guy isn't some clueless devil; he's clearly a smoking cessation expert.

Tian Yu wandered aimlessly around the lobby for a while, then walked to the information desk and asked the nurse, "Miss, have you seen my dad?"

The nurse was taken aback by the question. Looking at the well-dressed but unfocused man in front of her, she asked suspiciously, "Sir, who is your father? Do you know which ward he's in?"

"My dad... my dad's name is Tian Boyang!" Tian Yu thought for a moment before saying his father's name, but the next second he started scratching his head, "Why is my dad at the hospital? Isn't the old man in good health?"

"Tian Boyang?" The nurse was slightly taken aback, immediately recalling the cognitive impairment patient admitted last night. Looking at Tian Yu's appearance, she broke out in a cold sweat. "You're Mr. Tian's son? You... what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine," Tian Yu said. "How...how did I end up in the hospital?"

The nurse's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.

The young man in front of me not only forgot the purpose of coming to the hospital, but also couldn't remember why his father was hospitalized. His condition was exactly the same as that of Tian Boyang, who was helped into the hospital last night.

"Didn't you come here to be with your dad last night?" the nurse asked cautiously, trying to jog the other person's memory.

"Last night?" Tian Yu frowned, trying hard to recall, but only vague fragments came to mind. "Last night I think I was at a bar... Yes, at a bar, drinking with friends. How did I end up at the hospital? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

The nurse was speechless, thinking: Could this person be drunk and still not sober? There's no smell of alcohol on him.

and many more!

She suddenly remembered the gossip she had been following online last night, and quickly picked up her phone to log in to Weibo, finding the message that had appeared on Tian Boyang's Weibo account last night.

“I swear in my father’s name that every word I have said is true. My father was indeed angered by Zhang Wen to the point that his cognitive function was impaired. If there is even a single lie, I am willing to swear, like my father, that I may develop Alzheimer’s disease!”

After reading the Weibo post, the nurse looked up at the person in front of her. This person was Tian Boyang's son, meaning that the person who made the oath on Weibo was this very person.

I rub!

She felt like she had stumbled upon a major juicy story.

Tian Boyang developed Alzheimer's disease because he vowed to. Does this mean that his son will follow in his father's footsteps and also develop Alzheimer's disease because he vowed to.

The nurse unconsciously swallowed. Before, when she was gossiping online, she had mocked some netizens for their ignorance, saying that they actually believed that Alzheimer's was caused by the fulfillment of vows, which was simply outrageous and a completely brainless act.

But now, she's starting to believe it.

Alzheimer's disease is not contagious and cannot be transmitted from one person to another so quickly.

Even if it's hereditary, this person looks to be only in their early twenties; it's unlikely they would develop the disease at such a young age.

The nurse suddenly thought of a saying: Heaven is watching what people do.

It seems that this father and son have done too many bad things, and this time even God couldn't stand it anymore, so He sent down this punishment.

Well, that must be the case.

It seems we mustn't make any rash pronouncements; what if they come true?
Because the problem was too complicated, she didn't dare to make a decision on her own. After thinking for a moment, she dialed the nurses' station in the VIP area.

Soon, the call was connected.

"This is the VIP area. How can I help you?"

"The son of patient 1208 can't find his way back to his ward. Could you please notify the other family members accompanying patients in ward 1208 to come to the nurses' station on the first floor to pick him up?" The nurse said, glancing at Tian Yu as if afraid he might run away.

"What?" The nurse in the VIP area was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't the son of patient 1208 in his twenties? How come he can't find his way back to the ward?
The nurse on the first floor noticed her colleague's surprise, so she covered the phone with her hand and whispered, "I suspect that the son of patient 1208 also has cognitive impairment, with similar symptoms to his father. He doesn't even remember why he came to the hospital or how his father ended up there."

The VIP nurse on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, clearly processing the shocking news, before finally speaking: "I...I understand. I'll go and inform the caregivers outside the ward right away."

After hanging up the phone, the nurse in the VIP area immediately went to ward 1208. Looking at the two caregivers standing at the door, she said urgently, "One of you go to the nurses' station on the first floor. The patient's son seems to be experiencing cognitive impairment and can't find his way back to his ward."

"What?!" The two lackeys were thunderstruck, their eyes wide with disbelief. "What did you say? Tian Yu is just like Teacher Tian?"

"I don't know the specifics either, you should go and check on them quickly," the nurse urged.

The two dared not delay, but also dared not leave the ward. After discussing it, they decided that one of them would stay and the other would go downstairs.

Meanwhile, at the nurses' station on the first floor, Tian Yu was still asking the nurses, "What happened to my dad? Where is my dad now? My dad..."

The nurse was at a loss when asked the question and could only repeatedly explain, "Your dad is in a VIP ward on the 12th floor. He's not feeling well. Please calm down. Someone will come to pick you up in a little while."

Just then, a follower came running up from the elevator, panting, and asked anxiously, "Tian Yu, what's wrong? You're not kidding us, are you?"

Tian Yu turned his head and immediately took two steps back, asking warily, "Who are you? I don't know you. Are you trying to trick me into cutting off my kidney?"

As soon as these words were spoken, passersby all looked over.

Upon hearing this, the follower's lips twitched. Even though he wasn't a doctor, he realized something was wrong with the other person. He quickly grabbed the other person's arm and said, "Tian Yu, I'm Fan Cheng from the Music Association. Didn't you just say you were going out for a smoke? Are you done? Come back with me, Vice President Sun will be here soon."

“Vice President Sun? Sun Shiping?” Tian Yu stared at the man in front of him for a few seconds, then suddenly seemed to remember something, a flash of anger in his eyes. “Oh, I remember now, he still owes me 1.05 million. Make him pay back the money.”

Fan Cheng froze, feeling like he wanted to die. Why did he have to bring up Vice President Sun? Now that Tian Yu had said it in public, if it got back to Vice President Sun, he would be implicated too.

If he had known that the trip to Shenzhen would be so dangerous, he would never have come along.

I thought I could get closer to Vice President Sun and Advisor Tian and gain some benefits from the music association, but now I've not only failed to gain any benefits, but also gotten myself into a mess.

"Tian Yu, stop talking nonsense here and go back to your ward to be with your dad." Fan Cheng said as he pulled the other man toward the elevator.

"With my dad? How could my dad be in the hospital? Don't lie to me." Tian Yu said loudly.

"Whether I lied to you or not, you'll know when we get there, won't you?" Fan Cheng pulled and pushed until he finally got the person into the elevator, and he was covered in sweat from exhaustion.

"Ding!"

The elevator reaches the 12th floor.

Fan Cheng dragged Tian Yu, who was shouting "pay back the money," out of the elevator and quickly led him into ward 1208.

The moment he entered the room, Tian Yu suddenly fell silent, his eyes fixed on the old man on the hospital bed—it really was his father.

At this moment, Tian Boyang stared blankly at the ceiling, repeatedly muttering, "The trophy belongs to Zhang Wen, the trophy belongs to Zhang Wen."

"Dad? What are you doing here?" Tian Yu asked loudly.

Tian Boyang slowly turned his head, glanced at Tian Yu, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were looking at a stranger. After a while, he slowly turned back and continued talking to himself.

"Dad, Sun Shiping owes me one million. You need to go and get it back for me quickly," Tian Yu continued.

"..."

This time, Tian Boyang did not react at all.

Fan Cheng stood at the door of the ward, looking at the father and son, and couldn't help but feel a little creeped out. He thought to himself: Could Alzheimer's disease be contagious?

To avoid infection, he quietly left the room, closing the door behind him to ensure that no sound could be heard from inside. He then quickly took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Sun Shiping's number with trembling fingers.

The phone rang six times before being answered, and Sun Shiping's tired and impatient voice came through the receiver: "What is it?"

"Vice President, something's happened." Fan Cheng said in a low voice, his tone panicked. "Tian Yu... he seems to be in trouble too. He said he was going out for a smoke, but he couldn't find his way back to his ward and forgot that his father is hospitalized here."

"What?" Sun Shiping sat up abruptly from the hotel bed. He had been so sleepy he could barely keep his eyes open, but now he was completely awake, his temples throbbing. "Say it again, what happened to Tian Yu? Can't find his way? Did he forget that his father is in the hospital?"

“Yes, Vice President,” Fan Cheng said with a bitter face. “He only remembers that you owe him 1.05 million. Apart from that, he seems to remember nothing else. The nurse said that his symptoms are similar to Teacher Tian’s cognitive impairment.”

“Almost…almost?” Sun Shiping’s voice trembled.

Old Tian was already overwhelmed by Alzheimer's, and now even Little Tian has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. How are people supposed to live?

Besides, Xiaotian didn't swear anything, so why would she have cognitive impairment?

wrong!

Sun Shiping suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

He recalled the oath he had made on behalf of Tian Yu using Tian Boyang's account in a moment of panic last night... If there is even a single lie in it, I am willing to swear like my father that I will develop Alzheimer's disease!

Although Oda never made an oath, he made an oath on Oda's behalf.

Does that mean if someone else makes a vow on your behalf, it will come true?

He used to think that Lao Tian's dementia and the fulfillment of his oath were just coincidences, but now...

He was completely unsure.

"I'm coming right away." After saying this, Sun Shiping hung up the phone, grabbed the clothes draped over the back of the chair and put them on, leaving the room in a hurry without even tidying up his clothes.

Because it was rush hour, it took the car a full half hour to reach the hospital.

Sun Shiping rushed into the hospital, but the moment he pushed open the door to ward 1208, he stopped abruptly and froze on the spot.

In the ward, Tian Boyang stared blankly out the window, muttering the same phrase, "The trophy belongs to Zhang Wen." Tian Yu sat on the sofa next to the bed, muttering, "Sun Shiping owes me 1.05 million. Sun Shiping owes me 1.05 million."

"Tian Yu, are you fucking faking it?" Sun Shiping walked over and stared intently into the other man's eyes.

This isn't dementia at all; it's clearly him trying to collect a debt from Lao Tian.

As if provoked, Tian Yu suddenly jumped up from the sofa, grabbed Sun Shiping's collar with both hands, and shouted loudly, "Sun Shiping, give me back my money! Give me back my 1.05 million!"

Sun Shiping is only 1.68 meters tall, while Tian Yu is 1.78 meters tall. Now, after being shaken so forcefully by Tian Yu, and having not slept last night and only sleeping for less than two hours this morning, he immediately felt dizzy and lost all his momentum.

Upon seeing this, the two henchmen immediately rushed forward, one hugging Tian Yu from behind and the other grabbing Tian Yu's hand.

It took the two of them a lot of effort to separate Tian Yu from the vice president.

"Call a doctor! Go get a doctor to examine him right now!" Sun Shiping glared at Tian Yu with bloodshot eyes. "If the examination shows you're faking it, forget about the 1.05 million, you won't get a single penny!"
