Chapter 10 : The Richest Man in Deep Sea City

• "Where did you get the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead from?" Xie Zhizhen asked Qikunlun in confusion.
• "Oh, that gift? I got it from the storage room at home," Qikunlun explained. "I didn't know it was a Nine-Eyed Heavenly Bead, and I had no idea it was so valuable."
• "If I had known, I would have kept it for myself and sold it. It's worth over a billion. Just thinking about it now makes me feel regretful," Qikunlun continued, ignoring Xie Zhizhen's frustration.
• Xie Zhizhen was speechless. She never expected that the anonymous gift she received would be so valuable. She had been wondering if some tycoon had sent the gift to the wrong address. That's why she hadn't opened the packages, hoping to return them to their rightful owner someday. But she never imagined that the gifts would be so precious. And today, Qikunlun actually gave one of them away.
• "I'm telling you, from now on, you can't touch anything in my house without my permission," Xie Zhizhen finally snapped.
• "Got it," Qikunlun replied with a smile. "I'll try my best."
• "It's not about trying your best, it's a must."
• "Oh!"
• Qikunlun seemed to imply that he was the one who gave her those gifts, but he held back from saying it.
• ...
• Instead of going home directly, the two of them went to the hospital.
• Today was Grandma Tai's birthday, and everyone was too busy to visit Grandpa.
• Xie Bowen, the founder of Xie Corporation, used to be a prominent figure in Deep Sea City. But in his old age, he suddenly became a vegetable.
• The members of the Xie family were busy with social engagements, so no one had time to visit Grandpa. However, the incident involving Qin Shou would definitely cause chaos in the family.
• Ironically, Xie Zhizhen and Qikunlun were the ones with the most free time now.
• "Grandpa, I miss you. When will you wake up?" Xie Zhizhen said affectionately to the bedridden Xie Yangtian. "Grandpa, there are so many things I want to tell you."
• Xie Kunlun looked at Xie Bowen lying on the hospital bed and furrowed his brow. Something didn't seem right, but he decided not to say anything.
• At that moment, the door to the ward opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked in.
• "Xie Zhizhen, you're here again?" The female doctor's eyes immediately fell on Xie Zhizhen, and she pointed at the bed. "Your grandfather can't be saved, so why waste money on a living dead person?"
• Upon hearing this, both Qikunlun and Xie Zhizhen's expressions changed. Xie Zhizhen, in particular, was filled with anger.
• She recognized this person. The female doctor was Lin Heshun, Xie Zhizhen's high school classmate. They used to be the two most outstanding students in school.
• It was said that the top three students were competitors, while the bottom three were friends. So, they became rivals.
• But Xie Zhizhen always outperformed Lin Heshun.
• This made Lin Heshun look down on Xie Zhizhen and develop a sense of inferiority. Their family backgrounds were also vastly different.
• Eventually, Lin Heshun's grades plummeted, and she only managed to get into Deep Sea City Medical University through connections. After graduation, she used her outstanding looks to enter Deep Sea City People's Hospital. She even managed to curry favor with her superiors and became the chief physician just a month ago.
• Now, seeing Xie Zhizhen's loved one in such a condition, Lin Heshun was obviously happy and took the opportunity to kick her while she was down.
• "Lin Heshun, please show some respect when you speak," Xie Zhizhen said angrily.
• "Hehe, I'm already being respectful," Lin Heshun laughed. "If it weren't for your relative, I would even say that I hope he dies soon!"
• "You..." Xie Zhizhen pointed at Lin Heshun, trembling with anger.
• Qikunlun held Xie Zhizhen's hand and smiled at Lin Heshun. "Someone like her cares about such trivial matters. It's beneath your status."
• Then he turned to Lin Heshun and said, "Have you been experiencing headaches, fever, weight loss, night sweats, and rashes on your trunk, hands, or feet recently?"
• At this moment, Lin Heshun realized that there was a man beside Xie Zhizhen.
• Listening to Qikunlun's description of the symptoms, she couldn't help but think that she had experienced them herself.
• "How do you know?" Lin Heshun looked at Qikunlun in astonishment.
• "That's because you have a sexually transmitted disease!" Qikunlun said, then turned to Xie Zhizhen. "Darling, why bother arguing with someone who trades their body for a position?"
• Xie Zhizhen looked at Qikunlun in surprise. How did he know?
• Then she turned to Lin Heshun, unable to believe her eyes.
• "You're talking nonsense! It's your whole family who has a sexually transmitted disease!" Lin Heshun started to get aggressive.
• Qikunlun had actually hit the nail on the head.
• But she couldn't admit it, or else she would lose her position.
• "I can smell the stench coming from your body even from this distance. Don't you feel it yourself?" Lin Heshun said, mocking Xie Zhizhen.
• "If you don't believe me, smell it yourself."
• Lin Heshun actually leaned forward and sniffed.
• "You're just trying to provoke me. I don't have a sexually transmitted disease."
• But soon, she realized, "This is a hospital, and you're being unreasonable. Please leave immediately."
• "Hehe, getting angry because you're embarrassed?" Qikunlun said, taking a step back with Xie Zhizhen. He even fanned his hand in front of his nose.
• "As a doctor, you can't even cure your own sexually transmitted disease. I wonder how you became a doctor," Qikunlun continued.
• Seeing Qikunlun's appearance, Lin Heshun was already angry. But hearing his words made her even angrier. Was he implying that she really had a disease?
• Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly thought, "Wait, this man called Xie Zhizhen his wife? Does that mean Xie Zhizhen is already married?"
• Then she looked at Qikunlun's cheap clothes and shoes, worth less than 200 yuan. She started to mock him.
• "Haha, I never expected that the once prestigious Xie Zhizhen would marry a beggar as her husband."
• Lin Heshun found another target for her attack. "I remember Qin Shou couldn't bear to see you living in poverty."
• "He even said that only he can possess you. Could it be that you're wearing a cuckold's hat for him?"
• Xie Zhizhen was once again infuriated by Lin Heshun's words. It was all Qin Shou's fault for causing such a commotion that everyone knew about it. What she didn't know was that Lin Heshun had been having an affair with Qin Shou for a long time. Otherwise, how could she become the chief physician?
• What's more, it was Qin Shou who infected her with the sexually transmitted disease.
• Seeing Xie Zhizhen's furious expression, Lin Heshun felt even more triumphant.
• "All your words are just nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being fired?" Qikunlun finally asked.
• "Fired? Haha. Forget about you, you look like a beggar. Do you have the power to do that?" Lin Heshun didn't take it seriously. "Even if the hospital doesn't dare to fire me, do you think I could have reached this position without any connections?"
• Thinking about having the backing of the Qin family, Lin Heshun felt even more confident.
• "Even if the hospital director came, he might not be able to fire me."
• At that moment, two people happened to walk by the door and heard Lin Heshun's words. Their brows furrowed, and their faces turned ugly.
• One of them was the hospital director, Yuan Hua'an, while the other was Deep Sea City's richest man, Liu Hai.
• Liu Hai was here for a routine check-up. As the hospital director, Yuan Hua'an naturally had to accompany him. After all, he was the richest man in Deep Sea City.
• Originally, Liu Hai didn't think much of it and treated it as a joke. He even smiled at Yuan Hua'an.
• But when he saw the man in the ward, his body suddenly stiffened. Then he became excited, his eyes shining brightly.
• Yuan Hua'an looked at Liu Hai, also feeling anxious. He was thinking, could it be that Liu Hai suddenly had a health problem? But they didn't find anything wrong during the examination just now.
• Seeing Liu Hai's appearance like this, Yuan Hua'an was also puzzled.
• He felt extremely anxious.
