Xiao Zhan watched the history of his life flash past him, but for some unknown reason it was showing him and his dad Xiao Yang Hai, first he was carried by his dad to practice Wang Ba Fist, the actions like a monkey, then his dad got into position and threw a fist at Xiao Zhan, unprepared Xiao Zhan was punched and flew backwards, then Xiao Yang Hai pulled Xiao Zhan up from the ground, threw an arm around his shoulder and started drinking beer. Xiao Zhan boldly drank a glass.
"Dad, it's not that I'm bragging to you, I saved a person's life, somebody's life!"
"Not bad, kiddo you're pretty resilient."
"No, not really," Xiao Zhan proudly clinked his glass against Xiao Yang Hai's, and emptied it in one shot. "The other person is very skilled."
"You're skilled too," Xiao Yang Hai smiled. "To live honourably and to die gloriously, not bad not bad, you've made the Xiao family proud."
"Heheh..." Xiao Zhan bashfully rubbed his head, the next second his eyes opened widely. "Wait wait wait wait, what living honourably and dying gloriously? Who the hell died?!"
Xiao Yang Hai gently caressed Xiao Zhan's head.
"Yes, silly child, you've- died!"
Xiao Yang Hai's exclamation had sprayed Xiao Zhan's face with saliva, Xiao Zhan leapt up from the bed in fright and got into the first position of Wang Ba Fist.
"Who the hell died!"
"..." Wang Yibo, sitting by the bedside, silently turned his head.
"..." The training nurse who was trying her best to flirt with Wang Yibo was shocked speechless.
"Great! Great! You're finally awake!"
A man in a black suit hurriedly came over and held onto Xiao Zhan's hands, looking at him emotionally, struggling to free his hands but failing to do so, Xiao Zhan could only smile at him.
"Heheh, heheh..."
"Regarding this lift incident we're very sorry about it, luckily you were not injured too badly, the lift fell to the 3rd floor before it was held up by the backup safety cable." The man was very sincere, his face apologetic, "We will compensate you 10 thousand dollars for this trauma, is that ok with you?"
Xiao Zhan heard the ring of a jackpot machine. 10 thousand! 10 thousand! This would not only cover his school fees for 4 years of college, but probably he could also screw in the presidential suite for 5 days! This was essentially earned with his blood! Xiao Zhan wished that he would experience another lift incident like this, another 10 thousand dollars there would be enough in his marriage fund. However, Xiao Zhan did not want to show that he was a materialistic poor person, he pretended to ignore the man who was smiling like a fortune cat, and crooked his finger towards Wang Yibo. Wang Yibo leaned over.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think 10 thousand dollars is worth it, should we ask for more? Is there a scam somewhere?"
"..."Wang Yibo thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not worth it."
"Eh why?" Xiao Zhan felt a little pleased, seemed like to Wang Yibo his life was of some value. "You mean we would get more if we sued them instead?"
"Since their lift had a problem, it clearly shows that there is an issue with their safety, this time we were lucky, but an investigation needs to be done." Wang Yibo was stern. "Even if the possibility of this happening is tiny, nearly minuscule, it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen again."
Xiao Zhan's eyes locked with Wang Yibo's, his voice a little hesitant.
"You mean... We would very likely win if we played the lottery, so we shouldn't bother about this 10 thousand?"
"..." Wang Yibo, for the first time, felt that he wanted to kill Xiao Zhan. "I mean that their hotel should have their safety procedures inspected, and to report the results to the public."
"Wow, ok!" Xiao Zhan repeated it word for word to the fortune cat man. "I want your hotel to have your safety procedures inspected, and to report the results to the public!"
"Yes yes yes, definitely!"
As long as the lawyers did not have to get involved, they would agree to anything, also, as a student what could Xiao Zhan know, they would just cover the incident up with money, after all everyone would give some face to money. This time it was Wang Yibo's turn to crook his finger towards Xiao Zhan.
"Senior, do you want a public case or to do it behind closed doors?"
"I have no money to hire a lawyer..."
"I'll pay for it."
"We should be merciful," Xiao Zhan felt that he was a little young to enter a lawsuit, it was already a miracle he still had his life. "Why don't we just ask them to pay more? What about 15 thousand?"
"He wouldn't even dare to argue even if you say 20 thousand."
"Then it'll be 20 thousand!"
The man agreed readily, asking for Xiao Zhan's back account details, after enquiring about Xiao Zhan's conditions he quickly left in case Xiao Zhan decided to change his mind.
The nurse who was standing by silently now had a chance to speak.
"Mister, you're fine now, you were extremely panicked and hence you fainted, you can now be discharged."
Xiao Zhan was also anxious staying in the white and empty room, he looked over himself and quickly left the hospital with Wang Yibo.
