"However, I have a request." Meng Yan immediately added.
"The grievances and resentments between your four major families are very deep, and I don't want to dip into this muddy water."
"I only help you look at rocks. I will not participate in any other illegal and criminal matters such as beatings and killings."
"And you have to keep it a secret for me to look at the rocks for you, and you can't tell anyone about it."
"Promise these, and I will go with you and do my best to help you win the game.
"Meng Yan made these requests, then looked at Jia Baiyuan, quietly waiting for his reaction.
When Jia Baiyuan heard this, he did not answer directly.
"You." Jia Baiyuan pointed at Meng Yan's nose.
"I know your current situation very well. I know that everything you are doing now is just to earn your daughter's medical expenses."
"Leukemia is a disease that burns money like paper. Even if the bone marrow is found now, it will still cost at least two million for treatment, not to mention that your father and daughter will also need a lot of money in their lives in the future."
"But!" Jia Baiyuan changed his tone and raised his voice by two points.
"You, Meng Yan, are the grandson of Shi Zhongxian, and Xiang Shi is so talented."
"And the descendants of the Meng family will all master the secret skills of the Meng family. This is considered an open secret among the core members of the four major families."
"With your ability, Meng Yan, get rid of the Zhu family, get rid of your boss, and go alone."
"Don't say two million, twenty million, two hundred million, that's all without any effort, and a lifetime of glory and wealth will be nothing more than that."
"Why don't you do this?"
Jia Baiyuan's sitting body couldn't help but lean forward a little closer to Meng Yan who was opposite the dining table.
He is really curious.
"Alas." Meng Yan sighed after hearing Jia Baiyuan's question.
"There's no big secret here." Meng Yan said.
"When my grandfather passed away, his will forced me to swear a poisonous oath that I would never gamble with stones in this life."
"I followed my grandfather's will and found an ordinary job, and I have been living there until now."
"If it hadn't been for my daughter's illness, I would never have broken the oath I made to my grandfather in my life."
"But Duo'er is everything to me. If I have to break my oath and be punished by God for her, and face my grandfather without the face in the future, I won't regret it."
There was a hint of determination in Meng Yan's tone, which made Jia Baiyuan have a better impression of Meng Yan.
"Then Meng Yan, what will you do after you earn enough for your daughter's medical expenses?" he asked tentatively.
"I just want to stay away from these disputes and continue to live an ordinary life with my daughter." Meng Yan answered without thinking.
He has already violated his grandfather's oath, and he has basically never considered this issue in other directions.
He is now helpless and has no relatives. All of them were harmed by stone gambling, and his grandfather and father have never revealed half of the history of his family's grievances to him. The only thing he knows is that they paid the price of their lives in exchange for a stable life.
life.
So he, Meng Yan, just wanted to pay Duoer's medical expenses as soon as possible and then return to his normal life.
"Meng Yan, I'm not telling you that with your abilities, if you look at the entire Xia Kingdom, you are like a phoenix."
"Are you willing to live an ordinary life like this?" Jia Baiyuan asked, with a hint of hatred in his tone.
Meng Yan nodded: "We will not continue to discuss this issue. I have already made up my mind. After I cure Duo'er's disease, I will find an ordinary job and I will never touch a rock again in this life."
"Oh, okay." Jia Baiyuan sighed and said regretfully.
At this moment, Meng Yan's phone suddenly rang.
Meng Yan picked up the phone and found that the call was from the hospital.
"Mr. Meng, is this Mr. Meng, Duo'er's father?"
"Yes, I am Duo'er's father." Meng Yan responded.
Meng Yan was a little confused as to why the hospital was calling him at this time. Hasn't he already paid all the initial medical expenses?
"Mr. Meng, your daughter's condition has suddenly deteriorated."
Meng Yan was stunned, and his tone immediately became excited.
"What's going on? Haven't I already paid the early medical fees?"
"Your doctors have repeatedly assured me that my daughter's condition will not worsen with this plan!"
"If something happens to Duo'er, I won't be done with your hospital!"
Jia Baiyuan, who was sitting at the opposite table, was obviously attracted by Meng Yan's sudden excitement and looked at him with some surprise in his eyes.
He was now sure that Meng Yan was indeed not doing it for money, but was really breaking the oath that Shi Zhongxian forced him to make for his daughter.
"Mr. Meng, please don't get excited!"
"Although your daughter's condition has begun to deteriorate, it will not be life-threatening in the short term."
"Your initial medical expenses have been paid. The medical equipment developed by Xia Guoxin has been used on your daughter. It will not be life-threatening within a month and can be restored later."
"But Mr. Meng, please be sure to pay off the second-stage medical expenses within a month, so that we can mobilize resources from above for the next step of treatment for your daughter."
"In short, Mr. Meng, if you pay the remaining medical expenses within one month, our hospital will be able to mobilize enough resources to ensure your daughter's life safety."
"Anyway, please Mr. Meng as soon as possible."
After saying that, the hospital hung up the phone.
Meng Yan put the phone aside without saying a word.
"How much." Jia Baiyuan suddenly said.
Meng Yan raised his head and looked at Jia Baiyuan, his expression a little dazed, and he had not yet recovered from the phone call just now.
"Uncle Jia, what did you just say?"
"How much more is left to pay for your daughter's medical expenses?" Jia Baiyuan handed a glass of water to him and motioned for him to slow down.
Meng Yan picked up the water cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Three million."
"There's still three million left." The cold water stimulated his stomach, and Meng Yan regained some composure.
He has already paid 500,000 to the hospital, and the remaining 500,000 in commission is in the hands of Boss Zhang, plus his monthly salary, for a total of 1.5 million.
The total treatment cost of five million is still three million short.
"Okay, just three million." Jia Baiyuan heard Meng Yan's reply and held out three fingers to Meng Yan.
"I won't let you do any of the principles you mentioned, including murder and crime. All you have to do is stay by my side and help me look at stones quietly."
"You come with me to the Stone Gambling Conference in Su City and help me win the position of president of the Jade Association. Three million will be credited to your card immediately."
"But what if I don't get the position."
"Three million, don't even think about getting a penny."
With one sentence, Meng Yan was driven to a dead end.
"This is why I fished you out of the Zhu family. As you know, I am a businessman. Businessmen don't talk about feelings, only about profits."
After that, Jia Baiyuan stood up from the table and left, giving Meng Yan enough space to think.
In fact, after Meng Yan thought about it for a moment, he realized that there was no need to consider it at all.
