Chapter 179 Pre-departure Requirements

"Keep an eye on him. Tell me about his every move."

"Yes, Boss."

The secretary understood that his boss was quite cautious. Although he got the same answer from both sides, he knew that it was better to be safe than sorry. If the other party were faking it, or if he were to regain his sanity one day, or even escape from the Mental Hospital, it would be dangerous for Zheng Jie.

While Father Zheng had become mentally ill, on the other side, Zheng Tian lay on his Hospital bed, his expression numb. At this moment, he knew that the countdown to his death had begun. Although he was unwilling to accept it, every passing minute and second made him feel his life slipping away bit by bit.

Because of this, Zheng Tian had been unable to rest well during this period and couldn't sleep at all at night. This situation was captured by the staff, and it had to be said that this staff member was indeed conscientious and responsible.

"Leader, should we contact the doctor to prescribe sleeping pills?"

"He didn't sleep at all last night."

The staff member said this while looking at his superior. Upon hearing this, the leader frowned and then nodded.

"There are only a few days left. If he keeps not sleeping, it will really be troublesome. In any case, we cannot let anything go wrong with him at this time. Alright, contact the doctor and have them prescribe sleeping pills. Remember, it must be given once a day."

Sleeping pills can cause death, of course, provided that too many are taken at once. For this reason, many people choose to take sleeping pills when committing suicide, as was the case with Mrs. Zheng. Therefore, in this situation, the staff was certainly cautious. They could not afford any accidents; if any accident occurred, their careers would be over.

"Understood, don't worry."

This conversation was naturally heard by Zheng Tian. There was no fluctuation in his expression; it was hard to tell if he was dead inside or just numb.

Soon, the doctors received the news. Because the situation was special, they came over specifically to conduct an examination.

In fact, when they arrived, they knew that no examination was needed at all. Looking at Zheng Tian's dark circles, if he had slept even a few hours these past few days, it wouldn't be this severe. It was evident that Zheng Tian hadn't really rested at all during these past few days.

Fortunately, they were in the Hospital, with doctors and Nurses available at any time. If this had dragged on for a few more days, his heart might have had problems.

"It is indeed severe insomnia. I will prescribe some sleeping pills."

The doctor coughed and said this to the staff member beside him. Upon hearing this, the staff member nodded.

"Alright."

After prescribing the medicine, the doctor left. Watching his retreating figure, the staff member sighed.

With the sleeping pills, Zheng Tian was finally able to sleep, but Zheng Tian knew that this was just the last bit of care he would receive before his passing. Sleep?

Heh.

He felt that he would have plenty of time to sleep in the future.

He might not even be able to wake up. Thinking of this, Zheng Tian sighed.

...

Time passed bit by bit. Before he knew it, the day before the execution finally arrived. That night, Zheng Tian lay quietly on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Although the staff offered to give him sleeping pills, Zheng Tian refused.

Because this was his last day left in this world, he felt he should take a good look at it. Many scenes appeared in his mind.

Back then, Zheng Jie had not yet been born, and he enjoyed all the love from his parents at home alone. But one day, Father Zheng suddenly told him that his mother was pregnant. Zheng Tian really did not like or welcome this upcoming child. He felt this person should just die. He even tried to find someone to curse his mother to miscarry, just like the things he read about online. But in this modern scientific society, curses were of no use, so Mrs. Zheng eventually gave birth to Zheng Jie.

After Zheng Jie was born, Zheng Tian found that his parents were exceptionally partial to him. Therefore, an idea appeared in his mind: he could make Zheng Jie leave home. He did exactly that. Honestly, Zheng Tian himself hadn't expected it to go so smoothly, which made him feel particularly happy.

He really wanted to tell Zheng Jie, "See? Even though you were born, Mom and Dad still like me the most." He even thought that Zheng Jie must be living a life worse than death in the countryside, perhaps like a vagrant.

But he regretted it.

He regretted that he shouldn't have been so playful back then, not wanting to be tied down by marriage. If he hadn't left, how would Zheng Jie have returned from the countryside? One misstep led to eternal regret. That decision completely changed Zheng Jie's life. He came to the city and entered into a marriage alliance with Su Qiaoer. Even now, Zheng Tian himself found it hard to believe that Zheng Jie had accomplished so much in just five short years.

The establishment of those internet companies, using conspiracy and power to cause a massive financial crisis for the Zheng Group, requiring capital injection, and then those internet companies stepped in. After entering, Zheng Jie controlled the shares and also used coercion and inducement to make so many people willing to give him their shares, allowing his control within the group to reach 51%. The balance of power had shifted instantly.

Zheng Tian hadn't even thought that Zheng Jie would know about the things he did abroad. Furthermore, Zheng Jie used those things to take possession of the last of the group's shares. At that moment, Zheng Tian actually knew he had lost; there was no possibility of winning. But he was truly unwilling to accept it. He was unwilling to admit that this younger brother, whom he had looked down upon since childhood, could one day achieve such success.

But what was the use of not wanting to admit it? This was reality, the bloody reality. It wasn't something he could deny just because he didn't want to. Now, Zheng Tian sighed in his heart. If there were a chance to start over, he promised he would definitely not have gone abroad at that time. But Zheng Tian would not have any more chances.

While lost in thought, time passed bit by bit. Before he knew it, the originally dim sky had brightened. He knew that his last day in the world had finally dawned.

"There is still some time left. If there is anyone you want to see, you can tell us, and we will help you contact them. This is your last chance. Think about it."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian raised his head and looked at the staff member.

"Who else can I see?"

"Mother? She is dead."

"Father? He is still in Prison now. Can you bring him over?"

Under normal circumstances, it would actually be possible, but it requires going through procedures and takes several days. Now, there was certainly no way for Zheng Tian to see Father Zheng. Upon hearing this, the staff member shook his head.

In fact, Zheng Tian did not yet know that Father Zheng had become mentally ill. After knowing this, the staff considered it and decided not to say anything. Anyway, letting Zheng Tian know wouldn't change anything. So, even if it was just their final mercy before he died, leaving this world without knowing anything was, to some extent, a kind of happiness, wasn't it?

"That won't work; there is no time left."

"Is there anyone else?"

Zheng Tian heard this and thought for a moment.

"Call Zheng Jie over."

"Chairman Zheng?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, the staff members looked at each other. After a long while, they nodded.

"Alright, we will help you contact him, but Chairman Zheng is very busy. It is highly likely he will not come."

After confirming, the staff left the ward and dialed the number of Zheng Jie's secretary. Zheng Jie was too busy, so the number these staff members had was that of Zheng Jie's secretary. First, they would contact the secretary, then the secretary would contact Zheng Jie, and finally, it would depend on Zheng Jie's own wishes. If Zheng Jie was willing, he could come, but if Zheng Jie was unwilling, he wouldn't.

"Thank you for your hard work. I hope you can tell Chairman Zheng."

"Alright, I understand."

Hanging up the phone, the secretary dialed Zheng Jie's number.

"Boss, this is the matter that was just reported to me over the phone. Do you want to go over there?"

Zheng Jie himself hadn't expected that Zheng Tian would want to see him at this time. It was truly a bit strange.

"Do the people we have in charge of surveillance have any news?"

"No. They just said that Zheng Tian has been suffering from insomnia recently, so he has been taking sleeping pills. There is nothing else strange."

Hearing this, Zheng Jie nodded.

"I can go."

"I really want to see what this guy has to say to me now."

Zheng Jie's tone was calm.

"Alright, Boss. I will arrange it immediately."

"Mm."

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jie snorted coldly, his expression indifferent.

Soon, Old Li drove to the entrance of the Villa. After picking up Zheng Jie, the group headed toward the Hospital.

Time passed bit by bit. Before they knew it, Zheng Jie and his group arrived at the Hospital. Soon, Zheng Jie arrived at the door of the ward, where the staff was already waiting.

"Chairman Zheng, I'm sorry to make you come out at this time."

"It's fine."

"How is he?"

"Not very well. Depression combined with insomnia, so he looks very haggard."

Although depression also needs treatment, that is for people who will live on. For Zheng Tian now, treatment really didn't have much meaning anymore.

"Mm, I see."

"Let's go in and see. I want to see what this person wants to say after calling me over."

Zheng Jie took a deep breath and walked into the ward. At this moment, Zheng Tian was lying on the Hospital bed, wearing clean clothes. Looking at him, Zheng Jie smiled.

"I heard you wanted to see me. Speak, what do you want to tell me?"

Hearing this, Zheng Tian took a deep breath.

"Tell me, how do you plan to deal with Su Qiaoer?"
