Their commission was suspicious.

Even so, Liu Huaixi was prepared to check whether her death star had risen before descending into the abyss.

"Oh, right, Xiaoxi, do you remember where you first met Chen Luo?" Ye Yunshang asked.

"No, at least not yet." Liu Huaixi shook her head.

"Then you might as well think about your mother's connections. Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake? These words should have been said by Xia Yuhe's daughter, Xia Ziwei, to her biological father. So the one who is destined to be together is not Xia Ziwei and that emperor, but that emperor and Xia Yuhe."

"So in this respect, instead of thinking about whether you've met Chen Luo before, you should think about what connection your mother has with Chen Luo? Or perhaps what connection you have with Chen Luo's mother, but I feel the former is more likely," Ye Yunshang reminded her.

Ye Yunshang originally had no intention of paying attention to the first suffix.

However, Ye Yunshang thought that since Liu Huaixi wanted to team up with Chen Luo, it would be better to find common ground between them.

Although Liu Huaixi is a crucial yet relatively weak support-type talent, making her easy to control, if she intentionally conceals something, it could very well lead to a team wipe.

In any case, a good relationship is always better than a bad one, right?

Actually, if Chen Luo weren't so young, Ye Yunshang might have guessed that Chen Luo was Liu Huaixi's long-lost father.

"Ah, Mother! If we're talking about my mother... Besides wanting to communicate with my senior, a support-type talent user with healing abilities, I also wanted to ask if you, Traveler, can treat heart disease. I originally intended to save this for last..."

Liu Huaixi originally planned to ask Chen Luo about it after building a good relationship with him, but since the topic has been brought up, it wouldn't be too abrupt to ask now.

"heart disease?"

"Yes, yes. Actually, I also have this disease, but my surgery was very successful. However, my mother's problem is very troublesome. After in-depth cooperation with the relevant departments, they agreed to prepare for a heart transplant and find a heart donor as soon as possible. But then a member of the relevant department told me about a quick treatment method, which is to ask you to take a look. If you can help me and guarantee 100% success, I won't take any of the reward for going down to the abyss this time!"

[Ding! You have a new request!]

【Chenxiang saves his mother?】: Let's satisfy the girl's touching filial piety, but... how can you not reward her for going down into the abyss?

Rewards: 555 Primogems + 20 points of Liu Huaixi's favorability + random rewards

Difficulty: 3 stars

“My healing abilities aren’t omnipotent; each case needs to be analyzed individually. I need to go and take a look first.” Chen Luo didn’t agree immediately.

Chen Luo was determined to complete this task, but he wasn't sure if he could do it.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, it was just a small favor. I love helping out wherever I can, so please call me a Young Pioneer!"

"My mother is currently at Xinghai City First People's Hospital, bed number 626. Should we go now, or wait until we have time?" Liu Huaixi looked at Chen Luo expectantly.

“We can go now… wait, why does this bed number sound familiar?” Chen Luo was taken aback.

Then, memories forgotten in the corner slowly resurfaced.

"Your mother...you wouldn't happen to have the surname An, would you?"

"You know my mother?" Liu Huaixi looked at Chen Luo with great surprise.

"I knew it! The number 626 is definitely auspicious, much better than 666!" Chen Luo slapped his thigh.

See, this is how an S-class talent was born.

Chen Luo absolutely denied that he chose this particular hospital room number because he had watched too much Lilo & Stitch.

Chapter 1039 Chen Luo: I'm afraid your mother will pressure me to get married

"So Sister Ye Yunshang's guess was true. Mr. Chen Luo, you and my mother have met?" Liu Huaixi asked curiously.

"Just call me Chen Luo. Using the word 'sir' on someone your age will make them sound old."

"Oh." Liu Huaixi nodded obediently.

After learning that Chen Luo knew her mother, Liu Huaixi's liking for Chen Luo increased even more.

As a girl raised by her mother in a single-parent family, she can refuse anyone.

After all, his own life was important, but his mother was his only concern.

"But, senior, when did you meet my mother? She's been in the hospital for the past three months."

"This brings me to another part-time job. Before I became a gifted individual, I would volunteer at a hospital, and if nothing unexpected happened, I would go every Saturday," Chen Luo said.

"Oh, Chen Luo, did you take care of my mother in the hospital? Thank you so much!" Liu Huaixi's voice was full of gratitude.

No wonder the first thing that comes to mind when Chen Luo says "Do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?" Honestly, next time something involves your mother, you should just say it directly.

With S-level talent, can't you be a little more mature?

It's impossible that a Photoshop eye that works for everyone else won't work for your mom's friend, right?

“If you want to thank me for taking care of your mother, then I don’t think you need to thank me so quickly,” Chen Luo said, pinching his chin with his index finger and thumb.

"Hmm?" Liu Huaixi tilted her head in confusion.

“I’m not the one who takes care of your mother in the hospital, but the one who put your mother in the hospital.”

"???"

"Wait, you mean... you're the kind person who took my mother to the hospital?" Liu Huaixi suddenly realized.

To outsiders, Chen Luo's words might be interpreted as him causing someone to end up in the hospital, but Liu Huaixi, who knew how her mother ended up there, didn't think that way.

"Although it's a little embarrassing to be called a good Samaritan, there's no need to hide it." Having said all that, Chen Luo had no intention of doing good deeds anonymously.

Although Chen Luo did do that at first, he did not ask for anything in return.

Although it might seem a bit like he was just trying to speed up the talent awakening progress bar, it was indeed a good thing that Chen Luo did.

Now that he's brought this up, Chen Luo isn't expecting anything in return; he just wants to gain more goodwill.

Chen Luo was really interested in that Photoshop eye.

Most importantly, even if we chatter about this and that now, once we're in the ward and see the person, there's no way they won't recognize us.

"What happened? Tell me in detail?" Ye Yunshang became interested.

"Ah, this is what happened. Four months ago, my mother suddenly had a heart attack and collapsed on the road on her way to work. I don't know how much time passed, and even though there were many cars on the road, no one could help her..." At this point, Liu Huaixi felt a little sorry for her mother.

However, Liu Huaixi could understand that nowadays, people's first reaction to seeing someone lying on the side of the road is to assume they're being scammed, and their second reaction is that anyone who dares to help will go bankrupt.

But the thought of her mother lying alone and helpless on the ground made Liu Huaixi feel heartbroken.

"But later, a kind person took my mother to the hospital. According to the doctor, if she had been brought in a few minutes later, my mother might have been in mortal danger due to the lack of timely treatment. Honestly, she was right near the hospital at the time..." Liu Huaixi muttered the last part.

While I can understand those who refused to help, this incident is truly outrageous.

If someone were to die from a sudden heart attack 100 meters from a hospital without receiving timely treatment, it would undoubtedly become a highly attention-grabbing topic. Coupled with the question of whether this is a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality, it would likely push the matter to the forefront of public opinion.

Perhaps it was because of this experience that Liu Huaixi once again realized the preciousness of life, and her already strong will to survive became even stronger.

After complaining about the matter, Liu Huaixi looked at Chen Luo again, then stood up and bowed deeply.

Thank you very much.

Liu Huaixi wasn't worried that Chen Luo would lie to her. After all, the first affix of Chen Luo's name was related to her mother, and her talent couldn't possibly lie to her, right?

If Chen Luo is telling the truth, then Chen Luo truly is his mother's savior.

"Oh, no need to be so polite," Chen Luo quickly replied.

"But what does that have to do with you volunteering at the hospital?" Ye Yunshang asked curiously.

Ye Yunshang didn't hear Liu Huaixi's quiet muttering of the second half of her sentence.

"I was on my way to the hospital to volunteer when I met his mother, Aunt Anliu. The hospital was only 100 meters away. Instead of giving him first aid on the spot, it was better to take him directly to the hospital," Chen Luo explained.

And that hospital was the same hospital where Yun Lian'er worked.

"But don't you only go to the hospital to volunteer on Saturdays?" Ye Yunshang noticed a loophole.

“Um… my mom’s job is six days on, one day off, so she has to work overtime on Saturdays,” Liu Huaixi said softly, looking up.

"..." Ye Yunshang, who stayed at home all day, had nothing to say.

"Alright, anyway, this is a good thing. But how dare you help people like that? Aren't you afraid of being sued? You're still too young to have experienced the harsh realities of life. But that's precisely why you managed to avert a tragedy."

“No… I’ve actually been extorted before, just because I helped someone up,” Chen Luo suddenly said.

"Then why did you still dare to help?" Ye Yunshang asked in surprise.

You were once extorted for helping someone, and now you still dare to help people? Just how stubborn are you?

"I tried to extort money, but it didn't work. Although I lost a lot of money at the time, when I opened the door the next day, I saw that the person who tried to extort me had been kneeling at the door all night, with a bruised and swollen face. After returning the money I lost, he even gave me a red envelope. That was the first time I earned pocket money on my own." Chen Luo recalled.

"..." Ye Yunshang opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Liu Huaixi shrank back.

Although I and my mother would never do anything to extort money, if we did, wouldn't I be the one kneeling at Chen Luo's door back then?

If I kneel all night, won't Mom be able to take it?

"My parents definitely did it, but I don't know exactly how." Chen Luo could guess that, so he felt safe to help people up when they fell down.

Anyway, I won't be the one who suffers a loss.

People today don't lack kindness, but rather the confidence to do good deeds.

"Your parents are involved in organized crime, aren't they?" Ye Yunshang retorted.

“My parents are in the archaeology field,” Chen Luo shook his head.

"Anyway, it took a lot of effort to get Aunt Anliu to the hospital. I remember it very clearly because Aunt Anliu was really heavy," Chen Luo said with emotion.

"Nonsense, my mother is definitely very slim," Liu Huaixi retorted.

When it comes to her own mother, Liu Huaixi will not make any concessions.

“Your mother is very slim, but your mother… uh, I was still a child who hadn’t awakened my talent back then, do you understand?” Chen Luo explained.

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry, my benefactor, I misunderstood you." Liu Huaixi quickly apologized and then bowed again.

Put yourself in her shoes; even now, Liu Huaixi couldn't lift her own mother.

After all, people's physical condition is quite poor before they start cultivating... their stamina is worrying.

"Ah, no need, such a grand gift is enough for once."

Chen Luo hadn't actually finished speaking.

Although Aunt Anliu is slim, she has a large bust.

Her figure is exactly the same as Liu Huaixi's now.

So it is indeed a bit heavy.

"After paying the medical expenses in advance and taking her to the hospital, we managed to get Aunt An a ward through Yun Lian'er's connections."

Chen Luo had originally planned to visit Yun Lian'er, but unexpectedly picked up someone on the road.

The hospital where Yun Lian'er is staying has a very tight bed situation, and since Yun Lian'er has a luxury room on the top floor, getting another bed should be no problem for her.

Although Chen Luo did not want to trouble Yun Lian'er at the time, he couldn't leave someone without a hospital room after leaving the emergency room, could he?

But now that Chen Luo knows the truth, he realizes that Yun Lian'er doesn't actually have any resources; that private hospital belongs to Yun Lian'er.

This private hospital was originally built so that Yun Lian'er could live alone, but Yun Lian'er felt it was too lonely, so the private hospital started accepting patients from the public.

Yes, a private hospital.

Rich woman!!!

“I’ve been to Yun Lian’er’s hospital, but it’s not the same hospital as the one Xiao Xi mentioned earlier, is it?” The blind student found another key point.

"That's right, I didn't ask my mom which hospital she had the surgery at, but after I came home from school, she was transferred to another hospital because the cardiology department at Xinghai First People's Hospital is the best in the country," Liu Huaixi explained softly.

“My family wasn’t well-off to begin with, but that kind person seems to have paid a lot of the medical expenses… Oh, speaking of which, shouldn’t I pay them back? My family is well-off now. My benefactor, how much did you pay for the medical expenses?” Liu Huaixi quickly took out her wallet.

"No need. If you really want to pay back the money, go find Yun Lian'er. She paid the bill." Chen Luo shook his head.

"I understand." Liu Huaixi nodded.

"But didn't you pay for the initial medical expenses?" Ye Yunshang said.

"That's not important, we don't need the money right now anyway." If Chen Luo needed money, he could just go to Bai Zhi.

"I won't pay you back, but I'll work hard next time I go down into the abyss," Liu Huaixi said after a moment's hesitation.

Money shouldn't be important to gifted individuals. The fact that Chen Luo can live here suggests that he must be quite wealthy. Compared to money, the items produced in the Abyss Passage are likely to be more helpful to Chen Luo.
