Zhang Min turned to look at Wang Chao, her eyes filled with even more astonishment.
Liu Shishi's assets alone amounted to at least 50 million, or even several billion. This level of wealth made her a super-rich individual, money that many ordinary people could never earn in their lifetime.
And yet, in Wang Chao's eyes, she was just an ordinary person?
Zhang Min couldn't fathom how much money Wang Chao must have if he didn't consider Liu Shishi as someone special.
She knew that Wang Chao had millions in deposits and funds in their bank alone, but she had no idea about his other assets elsewhere.
However, the one thing she could be certain of was that Wang Chao was also a powerful figure.
She silently rejoiced for treating Wang Chao with such courtesy and respect before. Wang Chao was a VIP in her life.
If she could maintain a good relationship with Wang Chao, the benefits he could bring in the future would be immeasurable.
Thinking about this, she felt even more joyful. She immediately wiped her mouth and started cleaning up the table.
However, after finishing, she noticed there was still a bowl of porridge and two portions of delicious-looking dishes remaining.
"What's this?" Zhang Min looked puzzled.
"In a while, Officer Guan will bring your brother here. These two portions are for them," Wang Chao explained.
Zhang Min suddenly realized and nodded.
ραΠdαsΝοvεl ƈοm At the same time, she admired Wang Chao even more.
It was said that women paid attention to details, but just now she was so engrossed in chatting with Liu Shishi that she forgot about her father and brother.
If it weren't for Wang Chao's thoughtfulness, her father might not have had anything to eat when he woke up.
After cleaning up the dishes and utensils, Zhang Min went to wipe the sweat off her father's forehead, busy with various tasks.
However, unlike her initial worries, despair, and fear, she was no longer in a panic now. There was even a faint smile on her face.
With the help of Wang Chao, Liu Shishi, and others, she felt that her future was bound to be bright.
At this moment, she was filled with a beautiful vision of the future for the first time.
Wang Chao didn't pay much attention to her and took out his phone, opening WeChat.
There were numerous messages in his WeChat, from Song Henian, Pei Donghu, Lan Ruyu, all inquiring about his well-being.
He replied to each of them.
Then he noticed that Wang Zuxian and Yang Mi had also sent him many messages.
The messages from these two women were all about sharing the happenings on the set.
However, Wang Zuxian sent fewer messages after not receiving his replies.
On the contrary, regardless of whether he replied or not, Yang Mi would always send him messages, sharing many joyful moments. However, due to being busy lately, the frequency of her messages had decreased.
Wang Chao replied to each of them, explaining that he had been out at sea with no signal and had just returned.
Half an hour later, Guan Zhilin indeed arrived with Zhang Shan.
However, unlike before, Zhang Shan appeared timid and frightened, his eyes filled with fear when he entered. And when he looked at Wang Chao, his fear intensified.
It was evident that something had happened at Guan Zhilin's workplace, and Zhang Shan must have learned how terrifying Wang Chao was.
"Let's eat. I've ordered food for you," Wang Chao pointed to the takeaway boxes on the table.
"Great, I haven't eaten yet," Guan Zhilin smiled and immediately released Zhang Shan from the handcuffs. She opened the food boxes and started eating without caring about her image.
Zhang Shan's fingers had been stitched up and were still covered with gauze. He endured the pain, touching his wrist and looking terrified, unsure whether to sit down or what to do.
"Sit down and eat. We'll talk after you've finished your meal," Wang Chao said calmly.
Zhang Shan nodded quickly and finally sat down to eat. As he ate, he couldn't help but keep his eyes on Wang Chao, his fear growing.
Earlier at Guan Zhilin's workplace, he had been with one of Cui Hong's former subordinates.
He knew that subordinate and was aware of his formidable strength as one of the trusted members under the Four Great Kings. He held a high position and wielded great power.
It was through that person that Zhang Shan learned about Wang Chao's story—how he had suppressed the Li family, oppressed Lafayette, and even killed a nephew of one of the Four Great Kings, ultimately forcing Cui Hong into a hopeless situation that led to his death.
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Shan was frightened out of his wits.
As a small-time thug, he couldn't reach the grand stage. The people he knew were also insignificant figures who couldn't participate in significant events. However, he had always been proud of being a subordinate of the Four Great Kings.
Yet, Wang Chao was truly a ruthless individual who could crush even Lafayette.
He couldn't afford to offend someone like that.
Because of this, his attitude towards Wang Chao had done a fulfill 180-degree turn. He didn't dare to provoke him in the slightest, fearing that if Wang Chao became displeased, he would be chopped up and thrown into the sea as fish food.
After finishing the meal, Guan Zhilin got up and said, "Alright, I'll leave Zhang Shan in your hands. I have something to attend to. See you tomorrow."
With that, she waved to Wang Chao and quickly left.
"I-I'm done eating too, sis. Can you help me clean up?" Zhang Shan wiped his mouth and stood up.
Zhang Min instinctively started cleaning the table, as if she had already gotten used to helping Zhang Shan with such tasks.
Wang Chao held Zhang Min's hand and prevented her from cleaning up. Instead, he looked at Zhang Shan and said, "Don't you have hands? Clean up yourself!"
Zhang Shan was frightened by his glare and immediately started cleaning up the dishes. He neatly folded the takeout boxes and placed them in the trash bag.
"Throw them in the outdoor garbage bin," Wang Chao said sternly.
Zhang Shan didn't dare to disobey and quickly carried the food containers outside. He threw them into the hospital's designated trash bin and returned, standing obediently on the side without daring to sit down.
Zhang Min was almost dumbfounded.
Zhang Shan had always been the laziest person at home, never doing any chores, and couldn't even be convinced by her parents.
When did he become so obedient and sensible?
"What are you standing there for? Open the lid of that bowl of porridge and let it cool down. Your dad is waking up soon," Wang Chao instructed.
Without hesitation, Zhang Shan went to open the sealed bowl of meat porridge.
"Ouch, it hurts!"
At that moment, Zhang Dongjun on the hospital bed opened his eyes and let out a painful cry.
"Dad, you're awake?"
Zhang Min was overjoyed and immediately rushed to the bedside, looking at Zhang Dongjun with concern. She asked, "Dad, how do you feel? Are you uncomfortable anywhere? Should I call the doctor for you?"
Although Wang Chao had just uttered that her father was fine, he had not regained consciousness until now, and she still felt afraid.
Now that she saw her father wake up for real, she was ecstatic, finally letting go of the heavy burden that had been hanging in the air.
"No need to bother those doctors and nurses. Your dad is fine."
Wang Chao glanced at Zhang Min and uttered indifferently, "Your dad had surgery, and now he can only have liquid food. Give him some water for now."
Usually, after abdominal surgery, fasting and abstaining from liquids were required to avoid affecting the wound.
However, Wang Chao had infused Zhang Dongjun with true power source earlier, which had its own effects. There was no need to worry about those matters.
With Zhang Min's support, Zhang Dongjun slowly sat up and looked around with a puzzled expression. "Where... where am I? Why does my stomach hurt so much?"
"Dad, you were in a car accident. This's the hospital. Have some water."
Zhang Min poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhang Dongjun.
Wang Chao glanced at Zhang Shan again.
Zhang Shan immediately understood and hurriedly brought over the meat porridge, saying, "Dad, you haven't eaten anything for hours. After drinking water, have some porridge."
"No way!"
Zhang Dongjun looked at Zhang Shan's filial appearance, his pupils contracted, his mouth opened in disbelief, and his face was filled with astonishment. "Zhang Shan, how can you be so sensible? Am I in heaven?"
