Yesterday, when Luo Chao handed over the bank card to Gu Yanxi, he said there was only five or six thousand in it.

Gu Yanxi didn't think much of it at the time, but when she checked it this morning, she was instantly shocked—the amount in the bank card surprisingly reached 270,000 Huaxia Coins!

"Just call me Luo Chao, really sorry about that, our president accidentally transferred money into this card again yesterday."

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" Luo Chao scratched his head, took the bank card, as he originally planned to clarify this with Gu Yanxi, but didn't expect her to come to him first.

"Gu... Gu Yanxi." Gu Yanxi answered softly.

"Gu Yanxi? Not bad, it's a good name!" Luo Chao nodded slightly.

"How about this, Miss Gu, I will definitely give you part of the money in this card, but I won't give you the bank card. I'll give you cash instead." With that said, Luo Chao pulled Gu Yanxi towards the bank across the street.

Luo Chao withdrew the entire 270,000 from the card, intending to go to the antique market later.

In the antique market, in order to avoid taxes or for some money-laundering acts, the merchants only accept cash transactions, which has become an unwritten underground rule.

Luo Chao put 260,000 in cash into the tactical backpack he had snatched last night, and then handed 10,000 in cash to Gu Yanxi.

"Keep this 10,000 safe; if you refuse to take it like yesterday, I will lose my temper!" Luo Chao threatened mockingly.

He knew that if he gave Gu Yanxi 30,000 like yesterday, seeing a thick wad of Huaxia Coins, she would definitely refuse to accept it no matter what.

But 10,000 Huaxia Coins wasn't too much or too little, and with his persuasion, Gu Yanxi might be willing to accept it.

However, what Luo Chao didn't expect was that today, Gu Yanxi surprisingly changed her reserved demeanor of yesterday and accepted the 10,000 without a second thought.

Luo Chao noticed something unusual about Gu Yanxi and couldn't help asking again, "Miss Gu, are you hiding something from me?"

With Luo Chao's question, the final barrier within Gu Yanxi's originally wavering heart was finally broken.

Her tears suddenly flowed like a flood, and she sobbed, "Mr. Luo, my dad was hospitalized last night with a sudden brain embolism. The doctor said if we can't gather 100,000 for the surgery, they wouldn't operate on my dad, but my family has no savings at all..."

"So, I want to borrow 100,000 for the surgery from Mr. Luo. I know it's very sudden, but you're the only wealthy person I could think of. I promise I will repay you in the future!"

Gu Yanxi's eyes were red, and she tightly grasped the sleeve of Luo Chao's coat, tears continuously falling.

Luo Chao knew that if a sudden brain embolism doesn't receive timely treatment, it could potentially lead to paralysis, or even death!

With this in mind, Luo Chao pulled Gu Yanxi along and immediately hailed a taxi to Huahai City's First People's Hospital.

At the hospital, under Gu Yanxi's guidance, the two of them went directly to her father's ward.

In the ward, a man who should be only around fifty, yet looked like a seventy-year-old, gaunt man was lying in a coma on the hospital bed.

Beside the hospital bed was a male surgeon and a middle-aged woman seated in a wheelchair.

Luo Chao, judging by the facial features, identified the gaunt man and the woman in the wheelchair as Gu Yanxi's father and mother.

Seeing Gu Yanxi return, the surgeon asked, "Miss Gu, did you bring your dad's surgery fee?"

"Dr. Sun, I..." Gu Yanxi hesitated, then turned her gaze towards Luo Chao.

Dr. Sun then noticed Luo Chao, showing a hypocritical expression, "Are you her boyfriend? Hurry up and pay, if you're late, your father-in-law's life will be in danger."

"Heh." Luo Chao chuckled, "You also know a sudden brain embolism can't be delayed, right? From what you're saying, it sounds like you're trying to pin the blame for delayed treatment on the patient's family."

"Paying for treatment, that's only right, the hospital is not a charity!" Dr. Sun said with a cold expression.

"I think all you know is the concept of paying for treatment and have forgotten the basic tenet of benevolence in medicine!" Luo Chao retorted disdainfully.

"Don't waste words with me, either pay or leave. Without payment, I won't perform surgery, and any delay in treatment won't be my responsibility!" Dr. Sun retorted, unable to counter Luo Chao's arguments, resorting back to the threat of treatment delay.

"Hmph, no need for you to perform the surgery!" Luo Chao took a few steps to Gu Yanxi's father's side, grabbing his hand to take his pulse.

Within just over ten seconds, Luo Chao had a rough assessment of Gu Yanxi's father's condition: his brain embolism must be treated immediately or his life could be at risk.

Luo Chao took out the Silver Needle he'd been holding, disinfected it with alcohol, and was about to perform acupuncture on Gu Yanxi's father.

But at this moment, Dr. Sun suddenly stepped forward to block Luo Chao.

"What are you doing? Do you have a medical license? What if you accidentally kill someone while treating a patient in our hospital, and the responsibility falls on us?" Dr. Sun's questions were reasonable.

In fact, Luo Chao did have a medical license, specifically a military doctor's qualification, but the situation was urgent, and he hadn't brought it with him.

"I'm a military doctor, although I don't have my medical license with me. But rest assured, whatever happens, I'll take full responsibility!" With that, Luo Chao raised the Silver Needle again.

"Hold on!" Dr. Sun stopped him again, "It's not that I doubt your status as a military doctor, but seeing how you've taken out a few Silver Needles, you're not going to use acupuncture to treat a brain embolism, are you?"
