I am weak and friendly

Chapter 134 Tang had foreseen everything (Bonus chapter 710 for StevenZ)

Luo Nian'an couldn't keep up the act for long, because after fully understanding his situation, the elderly man in the hospital bed began to request to be discharged.

"We're not staying here anymore. I'm in this state, why should I spend any more money? I'd rather just die..." The old man wept on his hospital bed.

The doctors and nurses tried to comfort her, explaining that her hospital fees had been reduced or waived, but the old woman kept repeating the same thing: "I'm so useless. How can I take care of Xinxin as she grows up? I'm so sorry to her father..."

"The family is out of money, and they're still spending it on me..."

"I don't want to live anymore, let me die."

This left doctors, nurses, and others feeling extremely helpless.

"Hello, Grandma." Tang Yiping stepped forward and said to the elderly woman on the hospital bed, "My name is Tang Yiping, and I am Xinxin's friend."

He actually meant to say it was Rohan's friend, but changed his mind at the last minute.

Beside him, the doctor explained to Tang Yiping, "Grandpa, it was Tang who stopped the human traffickers and saved Xinxin from their clutches."

The elderly woman on the hospital bed became visibly agitated. Tang Yiping reached out and took her hand: "Grandma, I know your concerns, but please listen to me for a moment, okay?"

— [Goodwill gesture] successful, [Friendly Beacon] activated.

In that instant, the boy's radiance enveloped the entire world.

The old man finally stopped repeating himself and quieted down.

……

After leaving the ward, Tang Yiping, who was in a wheelchair, was given the room to Xin Xin and her grandson. The doctors, nurses, and Lao Zhang all looked at him.

"Thank you so much, Tang," the doctor said gratefully. "Sometimes, the most troublesome thing for us is dealing with stubborn elderly people. If they refuse to cooperate with treatment, it becomes very difficult."

"What about the costs of the elderly person's follow-up treatment?" Tang Yiping asked.

“We’ve already applied for internal relief funds for the previous expenses, and that should cover a large portion of the remaining costs. However, after the elderly person is discharged and returns home, they have difficulty taking care of themselves and need someone to look after them. Sigh… We’ll apply again to see if we can contact some more relief funds or some non-profit nursing homes… Besides, Xin Xin is only 12 years old and needs a guardian. The elderly person has already lost the actual ability to act as a guardian… Hopefully, we can contact her mother… But I’m afraid… we don’t know if the little girl has any other relatives…”

The doctor shook his head.

Whether or not Xin Xin's mother can be contacted is one thing; whether Xin Xin is willing to accept her mother is another.

There are still many things to be done, but we can only solve them one step at a time.

After the doctor left, Tang Yiping said into his headset, "Old Luo?"

The prosthetic body Rohan has not spoken since the beginning.

Tang Yiping could imagine that his heart must be filled with very complicated emotions right now.

"Ping-ge..." After a long while, Luo Han's voice came, "Do you think I'm very unfilial..."

“If I hadn’t believed them back then, I would have died on the spot. My mother wouldn’t have had such a hard life, and I wouldn’t have done so many wrong things…”

“Then there won’t be Xin Xin,” Tang Yiping reminded him.

“But I didn’t give her a good life either, I made her live such a hard life…” Luo Han’s voice lowered, “and I made my mother suffer taking care of her all this time. If she hadn’t been so overworked, she wouldn’t have gotten sick… Ping Ge, what should I do now…”

Tang Yiping thought to himself, "How could I possibly understand all this?"
I'm just a university student!

Why do you all treat me like a confidant?

Oh, so my "Friendly Beacon" is still on.
"Who do you think has it harder, me or Xin Xin?" Tang Yiping asked.

“Ah, this…” Rohan was immediately stumped by the question.

It's true that Xin Xin has a tough time, but... it doesn't seem to be as bad as Tang Yiping, who suffers from SMA.

Do you think I'm unhappy every day?

“Ah…” Rohan didn’t know how to answer.

"Then why do you assume that Xin Xin has been unhappy for the past 12 years?" Tang Yiping said, "Unhappiness and unhappiness are two different things."

"Imagine a 12-year-old child who already possesses an absurdly strong talent, an unwavering passion, and has reached heights that many people can't achieve in their entire lives. Her future may hold setbacks, difficulties, and twists and turns, but it will never be filled with confusion. Tell me, is it possible for such a person to be happy?"

Rohan remained silent.

"How do you think Grandma feels looking at Xinxin like this? Is it possible that Grandma would feel happy watching Xinxin grow up day by day?"

Rohan remained silent.

“The worst thing you ever did was write that program for them, and the second worst thing you ever did was being absent from Xin Xin’s life for 12 years, but none of that is your fault,” Tang Yiping said. “The people who should really be blamed are the ones who wanted to take away Xin Xin’s and other people’s talents.”

Rohan was silent for a moment, then he said, "I want them dead."

"Me too."

Tang Yiping looked up; the sunlight outside the window was just right.

"Don't worry, everyone dies eventually," Tang Yiping said.

……

Li Tieqiang dragged his tired body out of the bureau chief's office. Several colleagues who had been waiting outside rushed to greet him.

"This is none of your business," Li Tieqiang waved his hand. "Go and do what you need to do."

"Master!" Zhao Xinyi exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this.

The escape of those people last night was a major incident, and someone must be held responsible.

In fact, many people must be responsible; neither he nor the bureau chief can shoulder the burden alone.

The case can be handed over, but those responsible for everything that happened before that must still be held accountable.

But the fact that he said that means he must have made sacrifices that shouldn't have been made.

"Stop talking, go back and rest." Li Tieqiang shook his head.

He really doesn't want to argue right now; he still has a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius, and his arm needs surgery.

All he wanted to do right now was lie in his hospital bed, waiting to be wheeled into the operating room; he didn't want to think about anything else.

Just then, his phone beeped.

Someone sent me a message.

"Anomaly Containment Bureau Containment Notification: Target No. 271, Lin Jicheng, male, 25 years old, Bachelor of Mathematics, Master of Systems Science, current residence... Operation Team: Team 1; Vehicle Number: XXXXX; Operation Time... The above information is sent automatically. Please press 1 to receive it, press 2 to be ready, or press 3 if you do not see the message."

Li Tieqiang was stunned for a moment. His first thought was... what kind of strange scam text message is this?
What the hell? I didn't see the message, so how am I supposed to type 3?

Could it be a scam text message?
Who is this? Why did they send him something like this?

and many more……

"The Bureau of Anomalies Containment?" He turned to Zhao Xinyi and asked, "What was that organization that Tang mentioned earlier?"

He has a high fever now and can't remember things clearly.

"Dragon group?"

"No! He was referring to the current one."

"Abnormal Containment Bureau".

Li Tieqiang quickly looked down and saw that the five words matched.

This message must have been sent by Tang Yiping.

He turned around and went back into the director's office.

Li Tieqiang did not go to the scene that night; his health prevented him from doing so.

He was sitting in a corner of the command center.

He wasn't in command this time either; it was his superiors and colleagues from special departments who rushed to the scene.

The operation was also carried out by six special police teams that were urgently dispatched.

"Target vehicle has been located."

"Target resists; one team has made contact."

"Someone in the team is injured."

"Teams two, three, and four have been dispatched as reinforcements."

"The target is preparing to break out; five teams have made contact."

"Operation concluded. Of the six enemy personnel, one was captured and five were killed."

He subconsciously reached into his pocket, but unfortunately, everyone's cell phones had been taken away.

Otherwise, he really wanted to cut off a 3.

He walked out of the conference room and pulled out a cigarette in the hallway.

A lighter was offered to him, and a colleague from the special department lit a cigarette for him, asking, "Captain Li, where did you get your information? Who exactly are these guys?"

This was a man in his thirties, slightly overweight, with a constant smile, completely unlike the person he worked in.

Li Tieqiang took a drag and then exhaled a smoke ring. His face was blurred and distorted in the smoke.

“Dragon Group,” he said. “Dragon Group anticipated everything.”

Special department colleague: "??????"

“You didn’t know about the Dragon Group, did you?” Li Tieqiang said, his voice heavy with experience.

“You’re too young…” He shook his head and turned to leave.

He left behind a desolate figure.
