Beauty and the Bodyguard

People die for wealth and birds die for food. Are there many examples of this in the world? If I hadn't been greedy for more money, how could I have ended up with nothing now?

"Young man, you seem to have something on your mind?" An old man came to the bench next to Chu Pengzhan and sat down. Although it was a bit strange for him to call Chu Pengzhan young, at his age, it was more appropriate to call Chu Pengzhan young. No one can do too much.

"Haha...it's nothing..." Chu Pengzhan naturally didn't want to mention his pain to strangers, so he just smiled lightly.

"If you have worries and troubles that can't be solved, then go to hell..." The old man said, minding his own business.

"Die?" Chu Pengzhan was stunned for a moment, and a trace of confusion suddenly flashed in his eyes. He stood up suddenly, stumbled forward, and rushed towards a speeding van...

With a loud "bang", the van hit Chu Pengzhan's body and flew out, and the harsh brake sound also sounded...

The old man stood up, turned around and left without even looking at Chu Pengzhan... He was the hypnotist in disguise!

Police cars and ambulances rushed to the scene quickly. The driver of the van did not escape, but lowered his head with a look of horror and fear, squatting on the ground and feeling at a loss...

The ambulance picked up Chu Pengzhan and roared all the way to the hospital. The police stayed to investigate the scene. However, looking at the driving recorder on the van, it seemed that Chu Pengzhan committed suicide and took the initiative to hit the car. , at least this is what the video looks like, but until the identity of the injured or deceased is not clear, it is temporarily impossible to determine whether the other party has a motive to commit suicide. Only after investigation can it be determined whether the driver responsible for the accident needs to bear responsibility...

However, the results of the investigation soon came out. Chu Pengzhan, the former chairman of Pengzhan Group, failed to invest in his recent business operations and lost all his money. From this, it can be seen that his motive for suicide should be It's very clear...

Moreover, according to the owner of a nearby newsstand who witnessed the whole process of the car accident, Chu Pengzhan did indeed suddenly hit the car on his own initiative. When he saw him before, he was sitting dejectedly on a bench by the roadside. Later, an old man After passing here and saying a few words to Chu Pengzhan, Chu Pengzhan seemed to be crazy, got up and crashed into the oncoming car...

Although the old man was a little suspicious, maybe he said something to irritate Chu Pengzhan, or maybe he failed to persuade Chu Pengzhan, which aroused Chu Pengzhan's rebellious psychology and committed suicide, but the newsstand owner did not remember clearly what the old man was about. It seemed that his attention was diverted by the car accident. As for when the old man left, he didn't see clearly...

The newsstand owner and the driving recorder testified that the van driver naturally did not need to bear any responsibility. Although Chu Pengzhan did not die on the spot, he was sent to the intensive care unit of the hospital. After Fu Bo got the news, he hurried to Got to the hospital.

Chu Mengyao didn't know about these things. She just waited for her father's call with no result, so she called her father's phone again, but no one answered. She called again, but still no one answered...

Chu Mengyao didn't think much, thinking that Chu Pengzhan was in a meeting. But when Chu Mengyao wanted to wait a while before calling, Elder Zhang appeared in the guest room again.

"Guys, how are you thinking?" Elder Zhang's face still showed the original smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, but his words were very formulaic. Even if he is a heaven-level master, he treats everyone who comes to replace or purchase heaven and earth. Bao's customers all have the same tone.

This is also the way to survive in Snow Valley. Even practitioners cannot live without food and drink, and they also need money to buy other materials and treasures for cultivation.

"Elder Zhang, can we discuss it? We don't have so much money at the moment. Can we give the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit to us first and give it to my friends, and then we can collect the money?" Tang Yun hesitated. , begging with a sincere look: "We will definitely get the money together, but the time may not be too fast, but my friend may not be able to hold on for that long..."

"Guests, we in Xuegu have always done business by paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand. We don't owe you credit, so I'm sorry, so please come back!" Elder Zhang said calmly.

"This... Elder Zhang, please be accommodating. We will really give you money, but we can't get so much money at the moment. But my friend, I really can't wait too long..." Tang Yun stood After calming down, he bowed deeply in front of Elder Zhang and said, "Elder Zhang, please be accommodating!"

"I understand how you feel, but this kind of thing has not been uncommon in Snow Valley for so many years. If you pay on credit every time, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?" Elder Zhang's face did not move at all: "There are no rules. Fangyuan, don’t say any more, when you have collected enough money, you can come and buy the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit at any time, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.”

"Elder Zhang, please, can you help me talk to the Valley Master? I'm sorry to bother you!" Chu Mengyao was also a little anxious, and begged with Tang Yun: "Please, Elder Zhang, this It's his only hope. If he misses it, I'm afraid..."

"That's all, let me ask for you, but it's up to the Valley Master to decide whether it's successful or not." Elder Zhang is a kind-hearted person. He looks at these ordinary people with no strength in front of him. Having traveled thousands of miles to the Snow Valley to seek medicine, I was naturally somewhat impressed.

If Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao and others were cultivators, then Elder Zhang would definitely not be accommodating, but they were not. When Elder Zhang saw them traveling thousands of miles to come here, he felt a sense of sympathy.

"Thank you so much, Elder Zhang!" Tang Yun's eyes flashed with gratitude.

Elder Zhang nodded, turned around and left the guest room without saying anything else.

However, the results brought back by Elder Zhang obviously disappointed Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao and Xiao Shu. The Valley Master of Snow Valley only replied with two words, no!

Elder Zhang said with some regret: "Everyone, this is the Valley Master's wish. I can't help it. Everyone, please go back!"

This is Snow Valley. Snow Valley makes money by selling natural and earthly treasures. If it were the Ice Palace, Tang Yun and others would not be able to receive such good treatment! If you go to the Ice Palace to buy the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit, let alone one billion, I'm afraid if ordinary people go there, even if you give them two billion or even ten billion, Bingtang won't be tempted!

After all, the Fire Spirit Sacred Fruit is an essential elixir for ice palace cultivators to prevent them from going crazy, but for Snow Valley, the Ice Spirit Sacred Fruit is just a precious elixir that has no use for them.
