News about Li Zhou

By the time he opened his eyes, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

He stood up, stretched his body, and then Zhao Dongchuan left the park.

Due to the time limit of the teleportation bracelet, the next teleportation would be five days later, so he could only stay in the capital for these few days.

“Where to go?”

Feeling bored, he strolled idly down the street with his hands in his pockets.

Unconsciously, he arrived at the entrance of a hospital.

Looking at the constant flow of people in and out of the hospital, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but sigh, whether it was now or in the future, the hospital's “business” would always be the best, never lacking “customers”!

Zhao Dongchuan sighed inwardly, and as if by some strange impulse, he followed the crowd and walked in...

“Did you hear? That kid from the Li family got into a fight with someone at the Shichahai ice rink and was stabbed...”

“Are you talking about the Li family, that kid from Comrade Li’s family?”

“Exactly! That kid, always idle, gathered a bunch of people to fight everywhere.

This time, he really got into trouble... I heard he was seriously injured, and I don't know if he'll make it!”

“Sigh, let's not talk about that.

My daughter-in-law is in labor, I'm going to bring her some meat soup to nourish her body... I have to go now!”

Zhao Dongchuan’s heart stirred, and he turned to look at them.

It turned out to be two older women, chatting and gossiping, and one of them had apparently heard about the incident from somewhere.

He was very curious if this Li family kid was the Li family kid he knew.

Seeing the older woman who was talking about the matter go upstairs, Zhao Dongchuan’s heart stirred, and he followed her.

“Ma'am, I just heard you mention some kid from the Li family.

Which one is it?”

Zhao Dongchuan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Uh, who are you? Why are you asking about this?” the older woman asked, looking puzzled.

“Uh, well, it’s like this, I have a friend who is also from the compound and alsosurname Li.

I just heard you mention this Li family kid and got a little worried, so I came to ask you...” Zhao Dongchuan showed a timely hint of nervousness on his face and asked with concern.

“Oh, I see.

The kid I'm talking about is that scoundrel from Chief of Staff Li's family, Li Zhou.

This rotten kid is always instigating fights and causing trouble...” the older woman said, while observing Zhao Dongchuan’s expression.

Seeing that he showed no unusual reaction, she continued in a low voice: “I heard that Li Zhou’s fight this time was very serious.

Several people were injured, and he himself was stabbed several times.

He’s already in the critical care unit...”

“It’s Li Zhou.

I don’t know this person.

It seems I was mistaken.

It’s good that it’s not him...” Zhao Dongchuan pretended to pat his chest, looking relieved.

The two walked and talked, and had already reached the second floor.

“Young man, is your wife also in labor?” the older woman asked with a chuckle, looking at Zhao Dongchuan.

“Uh... no... it’s a friend of my mother's who is supposedly in this hospital, and my mother asked me to come and see him!” With that, he took out a bag of gifts from his bag, which was actually from his spatial dimension.

There was malted milk extract, canned fruit, brown sugar, and so on...

“Oh my, these are all good things...” the older woman said enviously.

“To tell you the truth, we are also short of these things.

You can't buy them even with money, and you need tickets!

You are truly thoughtful!”

“Haha, Ma'am, you're joking.

These things are not uncommon in our capital!”

“They're not uncommon, but there are too many people, and you have to queue for half a day to buy them, and you need tickets!

Our daughter-in-law has been looking for these things recently to nourish herself...” the older woman said with a hint of longing, looking at the gifts in Zhao Dongchuan’s bag.

Zhao Dongchuan could only chuckle and say nothing at this point.

Before long, the two had arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department.

After the older woman entered the ward first, Zhao Dongchuan walked a little further before stopping, pretending to have taken a wrong turn.

Following the signs for the departments, he arrived at the corresponding nurses' station, intending to inquire about Li Zhou's ward number.

Since he had run into it, he might as well know the outcome.

“Hello, Comrade Nurse, may I ask which ward Li Zhou is in?”

The young nurse looked up, glanced at him, and asked indifferently: “Which Li Zhou are you referring to, and what do you want to see him for?”

“It's like this, this Li Zhou is a young man who was admitted to the hospital after a fight, and I heard he's quite seriously injured, so I came to visit him...” Zhao Dongchuan said with a heavy expression.

“Uh... I remember now, that Li Zhou from a certain compound... He passed away after failed resuscitation... This, please don't be too sad...” The young nurse thought for a moment, then remembered, and also comforted him with a heavy expression.

Upon receiving this reply from the nurse, Zhao Dongchuan feigned great sorrow and slowly left the nurses' station, heading downstairs.

In reality, his heart was calm.

He had already anticipated this outcome and was not surprised; those who harm others will eventually be harmed themselves.

He just hadn't expected the timing to be delayed so much.

Originally, he thought Li Zhou would get into trouble within two months at most, but he didn't expect it to drag on until July.

He figured some of the settings he had made at the time were affected in some way.

What Zhao Dongchuan didn't know was that Li Zhou woke up the next day as if from a nightmare, becoming somewhat neurotic.

His parents grounded him and kept him confined for several months.

He didn't expect to get into trouble so soon after being released.

Zhao Dongchuan walked through the hospital feeling completely relaxed after getting his answer.

He had, in a way, avenged the original owner's murder.

Thinking of this, he felt his spirits lift, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Just as he was thinking about where to go next, a shout came.

“Young man...”

Zhao Dongchuan turned his head to look.

It was the same older woman he had chatted with earlier to gather information.

Seeing this, Zhao Dongchuan stopped and asked with a slight smile: “Hello, Ma'am, you've delivered the meal!”

“Yes, my daughter-in-law finished eating.

Those few things weren't enough, she finished them in no time!”

The older woman said, looking at the bag Zhao Dongchuan was carrying, and asked: “Did you find your mother's friend? How is he?”

“Heh, no, I looked around and couldn't find him.

The nurses' station said there was no such person, so my mom probably got it wrong!” Zhao Dongchuan chuckled and said softly.

“Then what about your things?” The older woman's heart stirred upon hearing Zhao Dongchuan say this, and she asked with concern.

“I'll just have to take these things back and eat them slowly myself.

They were hard to get!”

“Young man... I have something I'd like to ask for your help with.

Since you didn't find the person, could you spare me some of these gifts...” the older woman said, staring intently at the contents of his bag.

Zhao Dongchuan had never imagined that a trip to the hospital would not only give him news about Li Zhou but also allow him to do a little business on the side.

He immediately said: “Uh, this... alright, I have a connection with you, Ma'am, so I'll just give all these things to you...”

“Hahaha, indeed, we truly are connected!

Then it's settled, you'll give these things to me...”

The older woman, hearing that there was a chance, also couldn't stop smiling.

These things were considered scarce goods in the city; not only did they require money and tickets, but they were also limited...
