Chapter 651: Let's go to Hong Kong
Hearing Gao Song mention Dadao Group immediately reminded Su Zhicheng of the sensational news about Asia's richest man from a few years ago.
He gasped. "You mean that Asia's richest man from the newspapers a few years ago?"
Gao Song nodded: "Yes."
Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng stood frozen in place, as if struck by a spell. They had considered many possibilities; perhaps their cousin was a successful man, a tycoon who had made a lot of money. But they never imagined that their cousin was actually Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia.
The couple then realized that the private jet, helicopter, top medical expert team from Hong Kong, and the luxurious intensive care unit in front of them were all for this reason.
How to describe that feeling? It was like being hit by a pie falling from the sky and getting completely dizzy.
Gao Song smiled understandingly at the stunned couple, then took his leave. Before Zou Jin and Su Zhicheng could react, Gao Song was gone.
Yuan Ye followed Gao Song out the door. He wanted to see Gao Song off, as Gao Song was a close confidant of the big boss, and others didn't even have the chance to curry favor with him.
After the two left, a long time passed before Zou Jin murmured to herself, "Is this really true?"
Su Zhicheng was in no better shape. He hadn't yet processed the shocking news. He never imagined that his cousin-in-law was actually Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia.
What's going on with my in-laws? How come they haven't had any contact with these relatives for so many years? Is it because they're aloof or something else?
Su Zhicheng was full of questions; in his view, the whole thing seemed illogical.
However, he could only keep these questions to himself for the time being and wait for the opportunity to learn more about them later.
Su Zhicheng was more level-headed than Zou Jin. He reminded Zou Jin, "Zou Jin, we haven't told your dad and sister we're coming to Hong Kong yet! I think we should call them first to let them know, so they won't worry."
Su Zhicheng's words brought Zou Jin back to reality, but she was still unsettled: "Yes, yes, call! Call right now!"
Su Zhicheng politely asked the nurse who was monitoring Zeng Liping, "Excuse me, where is a public telephone around here? We'd like to make a call back to the mainland."
The nurse looked at Su Zhicheng and kindly pointed to the telephone in the living room, saying, "Every telephone here can make international calls directly. You don't need to look for a public phone; you can make the call right here."
"Okay, thank you!" Su Zhicheng thanked the nurse as he walked to the telephone, picked up the phone, and started dialing.
On the other end of the phone, the anxious father and daughter were waiting for a call. Since yesterday, their eldest daughter and son-in-law had been out of contact, with no word from them.
Upon hearing the phone ring, Zou Weifeng immediately told his youngest daughter, Zou Dan, to answer it: "Zou Dan, go answer the phone quickly."
Zou Weifeng dared not answer the phone because he was afraid of hearing bad news. Although he had always tried his best to climb the corporate ladder, he had only reached the level of a division chief before retiring.
This would be considered quite good by others, but Zou Weifeng felt it was a huge loss and even resented the organization for being unfair. However, to be fair, Zou Weifeng's character wasn't great, but his relationship with Zeng Liping and her husband was quite good.
Shortly after retiring, Zeng Liping was diagnosed with liver cancer, and it was already in the middle to late stages.
After two or three years of struggle, her condition worsened. Desperate, they sent her eldest daughter and son-in-law to a major hospital in Shanghai for treatment.
Who would have thought that after they left for a while, there was no news at all. The three of them were missing for a whole day and night. How could people not be worried?
The call was connected quickly, and Zou Dan, worried that Zou Weifeng might not hear clearly, pressed the speakerphone button.
Hearing her brother-in-law's voice, Zou Dan, her voice trembling with anxiety and on the verge of tears, asked, "Brother-in-law, where have you and my sister been? Why haven't you called for so long? How is Mom?"
"Xiao Dan, don't worry about me and Dad. Your sister, Mom, and I are at the best hospital in Hong Kong, Hong Tzu Hospital. The medical standards and conditions here are the best in Asia. Mom is doing very well now. The treatment plan has been finalized, and treatment will begin tomorrow. The doctor said that he guarantees Mom won't be in as much pain as before."
"Hong Kong?" Zou Dan and her father Zou Weifeng were both stunned, looking completely bewildered.
Weren't they in Shanghai? Why did they go to Hong Kong? How did they get there? I heard medical expenses in Hong Kong are very expensive. Where did they get the money?
A series of questions arose in the minds of the father and daughter.
However, Su Zhicheng quickly gave them the answer.
"This hospital is owned by my aunt's youngest son, you know? My aunt's youngest son is Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia."
Su Zhicheng's voice came through the speakerphone clearly to the ears of the father and daughter. The father and daughter both wondered if Su Zhicheng had lost his mind and was talking nonsense.
Zou Dan asked doubtfully, "Really?"
At that moment, Zou Jin's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's true, what Zhicheng said is all true. We really are in Hong Kong now. You guys should come quickly!"
Zou Jin then told her father and sister everything she knew in detail, leaving Zou Weifeng and his daughter Zou Dan completely bewildered.
Especially since I heard that they used a private plane to take them to Hong Kong, and then a helicopter to take them to the hospital from the airport, without wasting any time along the way. Moreover, this top-tier hospital, which is one of the best in Asia, is actually my cousin's hospital.
The father and daughter were familiar with Huang Xiaochuan, the richest man in Asia, who had been mentioned in newspapers and magazines a couple of years ago, but they couldn't connect him with the Zeng family. Zou Weifeng suddenly remembered that his brother-in-law's surname was Huang!
It seems this is true! My God! What's wrong with this world? How did a relative of Asia's richest man suddenly appear?
Zou Dan's initial surprise quickly turned into ecstasy: "My God! Asia's richest man is my cousin?"
Su Zhicheng said, "That's right, he arranged all of this. His assistant even told us not to worry about medical expenses when he left."
The amount of information was overwhelming, and it took Zou Weifeng a while to process it all. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "It's good that your mother is alright!"
He then left the phone number with Zou Dan, telling her to go and have a detailed chat with her sister and brother-in-law, while Zou Weifeng dragged his leaden legs to the door.
The weather in Chang'an in December was already very cold. The cold wind outside blew on Zou Weifeng's face, bringing him a bit of clarity.
When he returned home, Zou Dan had just hung up the phone. Seeing her father come in, Zou Dan immediately went up to him, took his arm, and asked, "Dad! How about we go to Hong Kong and have a look?"
