Chapter 949 - 941: Resignation
"What kind of promise do we have between us? I’ve only met you a couple of times," Deng Fuguo said. At the time, he agreed with Liu Rui only because he was worried about his father’s health. To put it bluntly, it was just a stalling tactic. Moreover, getting his father released wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Even if he had the power to do so, he wasn’t willing to take the risk.
"Are you sure you won’t release my father?" Liu Rui asked finally, his face darkened.
"Of course. Your father isn’t someone who can be released just like that. He’s a national criminal. I don’t have that kind of authority," Deng Fuguo replied.
Liu Rui finally understood. He couldn’t count on this person anymore; he was just a big liar. He didn’t understand how he could so easily believe his words initially.
For the first time, he made such a grave error in such an important matter.
Xiao Yifei used to be busy saving lives and had endless patients every day. During his days of recuperation, although physically exhausted and lacking strength, his mind was clear. During the sleepless nights, he thought about many things. He had always said he would look for the Biwei Silver Needle, but it had been stalled for years with no progress.
A few months ago, he already had the idea of resigning, but he didn’t know what he was hesitating about, so he kept postponing it until now. After this incident, he decided not to delay it any further. Looking for the Biwei Silver Needle didn’t really conflict much with healing and saving lives.
He thought that if he spent the money he earned over the past few years wisely, it would be enough for him to live for ten years or more. No one knows what might happen after those ten years. However, the only thing he’s somewhat hesitant about is Tang Rong. To be honest, after being with her, his life didn’t change much. As a boyfriend, he didn’t fulfill many of his responsibilities. Instead, it was Tang Rong who accommodated and took care of him.
If he resigns now, it certainly wouldn’t benefit Tang Rong in any way. For the first time, he had the thought that he shouldn’t have gotten together with Tang Rong in the first place. If they hadn’t gotten together back then, he wouldn’t be so hesitant now! Actually, a big part of the reason he’s been dragging it out until now is because of Tang Rong. He hoped to provide her with a stable, happy life, and he didn’t want to disrupt the current peace.
But now, he had no choice but to choose this path. He had no idea what the future would hold, and he couldn’t let Tang Rong suffer along with him.
