ain me. Get up quickly or don’t pretend to be dead!"“Summer, what do you want” Ye Shaojie gritted his teeth and said this but was actually starting to fear her inside. He never thought that Fang Chu w...Chapter 1032 Freezing Up

"Boss, how could I lie about something like this" Iron Crutch Seven showed a bitter smile on his face. "These two really are very capable; I think Big Six might have actually run into trouble this time because they're not only strong but also quite ruthless. The woman threatened to break all my bones, but it seems like they don't want any trouble and they appear to be newcomers from elsewhere, not locals of Wantong Port."

"Seven, tell us in detail about the entire conflict with them," Boss said after a brief moment of contemplation.

Iron Crutch Seven didn’t hesitate and recounted everything that happened in detail.

"Boss, these two first picked on Old Seven, then possibly killed Big Six. Could they be targeting us" Bald Three spoke up after hearing the recounting of events.

"We can't confirm it for now because both Old Seven and Big Six provoked them," Boss shook his head and continued in a serious tone: "However, whether or not they are targeting our Seven Brothers Union is no longer important. Assuming there's no unexpected turn of events, Big Six probably met his end at their hands. So from this moment on, they will be enemies of the Seven Brothers Union!"

"Boss, these two seem really tough to deal with. What should we do" Knife Scar Five had a rather gloomy expression. "Should I personally step in and give it a try"

"Old Five, you mustn't go; although you are the strongest among us brothers, you certainly aren’t their match. There’s no need for you to risk your life against them!" Iron Crutch Seven hurriedly said.

"Old Seven is right," the leader nodded. "Now what we need to do is find out who these two people are and where they come from, and each of us must be on high alert. If this person really comes after us, then all of us might be in danger."

"Let me handle this matter. I'll have someone keep an eye on them and investigate their background," Scar Five volunteered again.

"Alright, let everyone know as soon as you get any information." The leader nodded and glanced at everyone present. "It's getting late. You can go back now. As for the news about Old Six, we should keep it under wraps for the time being. I'll temporarily take over his business until we find a successor, after which I will hand over the business to him. Do you all have any objections"

"No objection, let the leader make the decision," the other five men said in unison.

"Alright then, go home now." The leader waved his hand and stood up first, heading outside. The other five also got up to leave, soon emptying out the meeting room.

West Port City's urban village.

At seven o'clock sharp, Lu Hui had already left his warm bed and parted ways with his girlfriend's soft body. He quickly washed up and brushed his teeth, then grabbed a piece of bread and a carton of milk before heading downstairs and out the door in a hurry to get to the bus stop.

The distance from here to the bus stop wasn't short; it would take him ten minutes or so to walk there. And with frequent traffic jams happening often in Harbor View city early mornings, coupled with his company being far away, he could easily spend an hour on the road every day. Therefore, if he didn’t wake up a bit earlier each morning, he might risk being late.

In fact, Lu Hui's salary was not low. He graduated from a prestigious university in the capital three years ago and then moved to a central city where he has worked for three years and met his current girlfriend. However, over these past three years, his salary hasn't increased much and it remains less than 3000 yuan. So after the Spring Festival this year, he came to Wanggang in hopes of finding work.

Lu Hui had good luck; with a degree in economics, he found employment right away at the most famous company in Wanggang City—Wanggang Communications Group—and his salary jumped into five figures. Although this is not considered high in Wanggang City, he knows that there's plenty of room for growth within the company, and as long as he can secure a stable position here, buying a house and a car will become realities after two or three years.

Lu Hui’s girlfriend also came to Wanggang with him and found work, though her wages are only around 3000 yuan. Combined, their salaries aren't low; they could afford better accommodation. But for the sake of saving money for a house and a better future life, they chose to rent in an urban village where rents are much cheaper.

Although official work hours start at nine o'clock, Lu Hui leaves home every day at seven to catch the bus to avoid being late. Over the past half year, he has noticed that each morning he is usually the first one to arrive at the bus station.

Ten minutes later, Lu Hui arrived punctually at the bus stop; last year, all of Wanggang City's bus stops were renovated into shelters, though they don't provide shelter from wind but can shield against rain, which is certainly a convenience. At least when it rains, waiting for the bus will be more comfortable.

Of course, today was not raining, yet when Lu Hui subconsciously scanned the bus stop, he couldn’t help but stare—someone had arrived even earlier than him

Lu Hui took a closer look. Indeed, someone did arrive before him; this person's attire looked like that of an urban professional, though it was strange to see that they were actually lying on the ground!

Although he found it odd, Lu Hui didn't immediately intervene because nowadays everyone tends to mind their own business. Plus, there are all sorts of people in this era; women who strip and bathe on the streets aren’t unheard of, so a man sleeping at a bus stop isn't particularly unusual.

Of course, today's weather is a bit chilly, and sleeping on the ground like this isn't really justifiable. If he were a beggar, that would make more sense, but his attire doesn’t look anything like that of a beggar.

Luhui may not have cared, but during the wait for his bus, he couldn’t help glancing at the person on the ground from time to time. Today's buses seemed to be running late; Luhui waited for around ten minutes, and still no sign of his bus. Instead, more people were gathering at the stop, now numbering over a dozen.

These waiting passengers naturally noticed the person sleeping on the ground as well, but they merely glanced at him without approaching and some started speculating among themselves.

"Hey, do you think something’s wrong with that guy Could he be drunk"

"I reckon he's a beggar."

"Who has seen a beggar dressed like that before"

"Maybe his clothes were given to him by someone else"

"Hmm, the fellow looks rather off. His eyes are closed all the time; it seems he's sick or something."

"Can't be... he's dead, right"

"Huh Dead"

The mention of death caused someone to exclaim in surprise for a moment. Then, without consciously deciding, everyone began moving away from the person, not out of concern but rather to distance themselves—being associated with a dead body isn't considered favorable these days.

Lu Hui was also hesitating at this point, wondering if he should go and take a look. His biggest wish was to work hard, earn money, buy a house, and marry his girlfriend; thus, he didn't want any trouble either. Nowadays, many stories of people getting into trouble while trying to help others were often reported online, which made him genuinely worry about potential repercussions.

After hesitating for two minutes, Lu Hui finally walked over. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the person lying on the ground was actually quite young, probably in their early twenties, with his eyes closed and breathing very faintly. After a brief moment of hesitation, Lu Hui reached out to shake the young man gently: "Hey, wake up... Ah! So cold!"

A chilling coldness emanated from this person's body, shocking Lu Hui. Although he wasn't a doctor, he knew that a normal human body shouldn’t feel so icy. In an instant, the thought crossed his mind—could this person have actually frozen to death

Without overthinking it further, Lu Hui immediately dialed emergency services: "Hello, is this 120 I'm at the bus stop in West Port East Village, and there seems to be someone unconscious here..."

Lou Hui didn't consider himself a do-gooder like Lei Feng, yet he couldn't bear watching someone possibly freeze to death. Therefore, at that moment, he disregarded his concern about being late for work. A few minutes later, the bus he was waiting for arrived, but he chose to stay and wait for the ambulance instead—otherwise, even if he went to the company, he wouldn’t be able to focus on work. If he saw news online in the future reporting that someone froze to death at a bus stop while bystanders watched indifferently, he would feel ashamed, potentially suffering from his conscience for the rest of his life.

"Bro, what's wrong with this guy Is he really sick" At this moment, others also gathered around, and one of them asked out loud. Nowadays, no one wants to be the first person to get involved in someone else’s affairs, but if there is already someone who takes action, others might follow suit and offer help. Ultimately, everyone fears getting into trouble, yet once someone gets entangled in it, they become less hesitant.

"I'm not sure. His body feels very cold; I’m not a doctor, so I didn’t dare to touch him. Let’s wait for the ambulance. I’ve already called emergency services," Lu Hui responded.

"Bro, don't worry. If this guy really dies and someone tries to cause trouble for you, I can testify on your behalf. You were just trying to help." The man who had asked earlier was also young; he now tried to reassure Lu Hui.

"Thanks, but it should be fine," Lu Hui smiled at the person and then checked his watch. His biggest concern wasn't this situation; rather, he worried about being late for work.

After waiting another ten minutes or so, the ambulance finally arrived. The paramedics quickly assessed the man on the ground’s condition and then shouted from inside the vehicle: "Someone help me carry him into the ambulance. His situation is serious, we need to take him to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment."

"Doctor, let me help you with that," Lu Hui hurriedly said and asked again, "What's wrong with him"

“We’re not sure yet, but he appears to have been frozen stiff and there seems to be a problem with his heart…” The doctor replied, but before finishing his sentence, another voice abruptly interrupted.

"Your heart is the one with problems!" This voice sounded quite dissatisfied. "You're the one who has issues! I don’t have any illness!" Mia'er didn’t understand what he meant.“It’s very simple. As long as I and you are both here, there's no problem getting my husband to stay a month or so each year here. With us accompanying him, he...
