557: Li Hong was discharged from hospital and went to school
A room in the City.
A Wei Shi Alliance member, who had been trying to force out his innate ability, was already deeply asleep from exhaustion.
"Ding-a-ling~"
It was at this moment that a telephone rang in the room.
It rang for a while before A Man groggily half-opened his eyes and answered the telephone.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Bai, come to my School tomorrow. The School has a document for you to sign." In the telephone, the voice of the Old Man made A Man sober up slightly.
"Huh?" He looked at the telephone in his hand in confusion, realizing the call was from his Grandpa. The young man yawned, "What document? Why do I need to go sign it?"
"You'll understand when you get here." Laobai's words came through, but Xiao Bai could still hear the sound of some game starting in the background.
"Okay, I got it." He was too sleepy, so the young man had no further questions.
Cultivation University.
After Zhang Tongqian explained all the details about signing the summoning contract, the minds of the more than fifty Students immediately became active.
After their grandsons and sons were summoned away, they could also follow and be summoned.
Looking at it this way, safety was undoubtedly greatly improved!
And they could truly use this precious token that Teacher Ye Tian gave them for free to train their respective combat abilities!
For a time.
Late into the night, those Wei Shi Alliance members all received calls from their elders.
"Where is Li Hong?" Li Hongda's firm voice came through the telephone.
Hong City First Hospital, on this end of the line, was Li Hong's wife.
Listening to the Old Master's question, the woman looked inside the ward through the ward window.
In the ward, there were two beds.
Li Hong was by the window, and on the bed next to him was a young man with an oxygen tube in his nose.
Both of them had recovered from the initial critical period, and now they were chatting, clearly it was time for fellow patients to discuss their conditions.
Seeing this scene, Li Hong's wife also let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed the recovery was going quite well, so there was no need to keep hiding it from the Old Man anymore.
The woman lowered her voice slightly and said to the Old Man on the telephone, "Dad, Li Hong got sick a few days ago and is in the Hospital now."
"In the Hospital?" On the other end of the line, Li Hongda was stunned, "In the Hospital? How did he get into the Hospital? Nothing serious happened, right?"
How he got into the Hospital.
Hearing this question, the daughter-in-law's smile stiffened, "Dad, it's nothing serious. He's almost recovered now and just needs a little more time to recuperate."
"Okay, it's good as long as he's fine. Young people recover quickly." Li Hongda nodded, then said worriedly, "But in that case, I can't ask my son to come to the School to help me sign."
"Sign?" The daughter-in-law was slightly confused, "Is it something for children to sign? How about I go sign for Dad on behalf of Li Hong?"
The woman said so.
However, as soon as her words fell, Li Hongda's words, spoken while shaking his head, came through, "This name can only be signed by Li Hong for me, which is a bit troublesome."
"Only Li Hong can sign?" Hearing this, the woman thought of many things.
This must be some kind of trouble the Old Man is stirring up again.
Thinking this way, it was actually good that Li Hong couldn't be found.
It saved him from being scared into another illness.
Now that he was in the Hospital, surely he wouldn't come looking for him at the Hospital, right?
"It seems I still have to go to the Hospital to find my son." Li Hongda's voice from the telephone interrupted the woman's thoughts.
"Daughter-in-law, tell me, which Hospital is my son in now? Tomorrow I'll take the document and go find him. All he needs to do is sign."
"Dad, you're coming?" The woman was completely stunned.
Turning her head to look at Li Hong in the ward, who was completely unaware and chatting happily with the patient next to him, the woman covered her mouth slightly worriedly.
The telephone hung up.
An hour later, the woman told Li Hong about this matter.
"My Dad wants me to go sign for him, and you said it's inconvenient for me to be in the Hospital?" Li Hong's face straightened when he heard this, "How can you be so perfunctory with our Dad?"
"Do you think the Old Master really wants us to sign?"
"The Old Man is already that old, and he hasn't seen his son for so long, he must be missing me terribly!"
"Signing is just an excuse. What the Old Man really wants is to see his son. He wants companionship. How can you not understand this?!"
Saying this, Li Hong got out of bed, "My Dad is already so old and wants to come to the Hospital to see me? How can that be?"
"My health is so good now, I should be the one to take you to visit our Dad!"
"Get ready. Tomorrow we'll go to our Dad's School. It would be best if we can persuade our Dad to come back."
...
The next day.
A normal day, a normal rhythm.
Yang Family Village, cable car operator Lǐ Sǔn, woke up and looked at the time.
10 AM, still early.
Anyway, there was no possibility of business, no possibility of junior schoolgirls, so he completely gave up.
He slept until 12 PM, and only then did Lǐ Sǔn, with greasy hair, half-open his eyes and casually wash up.
After eating his combined breakfast and lunch, the young man then boredly walked towards his workplace.
He already knew about Yang Shou changing the School into a 'nursing home'.
He also understood that in that School on the mountain, there were over fifty grandpas and grandmas.
These people could be considered customers.
But these grandpas and grandmas, ever since going up the mountain and entering the School, had never taken the cable car once. Every time, they relied on their own two legs to go up and down the mountain!
Therefore, his cable car station had completely become a mere decoration.
A decoration was fine too.
At least he wouldn't have those Old Men and women tell him he couldn't find a girlfriend when they came to ride.
That truth was really hurtful.
But when Lǐ Sǔn arrived at his workplace, he was slightly taken aback.
At the cable car station, five people had already gathered!
These people were led by a couple, and the three behind the couple were bodyguards wearing suits and sunglasses.
"You're the staff here?" Looking at the person who had arrived, Li Hong frowned.
"What time is it now? You're just starting work? Do you know how long we've been waiting here?"
"It's a small matter how long I've waited, but what if an Old Man like my Dad on the mountain needs to come down, wouldn't he also have to wait this long?"
"Being so slow, you're forcing my Dad to walk down the mountain himself!"
Li Hong was full of anger.
As soon as he arrived, he found that the only means of transportation was so negligent, and he didn't know what the facilities were like inside that so-called elderly School.
He had a new understanding of the harsh environment his Father was in!
"Young man, you're so lazy, you won't find a girlfriend." The woman next to him also shook her head and spoke at this time.
Her light words dealt a huge critical blow to Lǐ Sǔn.
After a moment of silence, Lǐ Sǔn began working.
Regardless, with customers, he couldn't willfully ignore them.
The cable car carried Li Hong and the lady beside him, as well as the three bodyguards, towards the depths of the mountain.
From beginning to end, Li Hong's brows were tightly furrowed.
How could his Father live in such a deep mountain?
Whenever he was at home, he always arranged for an auntie to serve and look after his Father, and every day he arranged for ginseng and deer antler velvet that were good for the Old Man's health.
How good that kind of life was, running into this mountain.
Whether there was even water and electricity inside was debatable!
