Chapter 1810: Car accident

Humans die in the pursuit of wealth, birds die in the pursuit of food, how many such examples were there in the world? If he had not been greedy for more money, how would he have ended up with nothing?

Young man, you seem to have something on your mind? An old man walked to the bench beside Chu pengzhan and sat down. Although it was a little weird for him to call Chu pengzhan young man, it wasnt too much to call him young at his age.

Hehe Its nothing Pengzhan naturally didnt want to talk about his pain to a stranger, so he only smiled faintly.

If theres something on your mind and trouble you cant solve, then go to h.e.l.l The old man said to himself.

Go to h.e.l.l? Chu pengzhan was taken aback and a look of confusion flashed across his eyes. He stood up abruptly and stumbled forward towards a van that was speeding by

With a loud bang, the van sent Chu pengzhans body flying, and the screeching sound of the brakes followed

The old man stood up and left without even looking at pengzhan He was the hypnotist in disguise!

The police car and ambulance arrived at the scene very quickly. The van driver did not run away. Instead, he looked down in fear and panic, squatting on the ground, not knowing what to do

The ambulance took Chu pengzhan away and rushed to the hospital. The police stayed behind to investigate the scene, but from the vans dashcam, Chu pengzhan seemed to have committed suicide, cras.h.i.+ng into the van of his own accord. At least that was what the video showed, but they couldnt confirm whether he had the motive to commit suicide before they could identify the victim or the victim. They needed to investigate further to determine if the driver was responsible for the accident

However, the investigation results came out very quickly. Chu pengzhan, the former chairman of pengzhan industries, had recently failed in his investment in a business operation and lost everything. From this, it was clear that his motive for suicide was very clear

And according to the owner of a newspaper stand who witnessed the entire accident, Chu pengzhan did crash into the car on his own accord. He was sitting on a bench by the road, dejected. Then, an old man pa.s.sed by and said a few words to Chu pengzhan. Chu pengzhan got up and crashed into the oncoming car as if he had gone crazy

The old man was suspicious-perhaps hed said something to provoke Chu pengzhan, or perhaps hed failed to persuade Chu pengzhan and triggered Chu pengzhans rebellious mind, causing him to commit suicide-but the newsstand owner didnt remember what the old man looked like. His attention was diverted by the car accident, and he didnt see when the old man left

With the newspaper stand owner and the dashcam as witnesses, the van driver naturally didnt have to take any responsibility. Pengzhan didnt die on the spot, but he was sent to the hospitals intensive care unit.

Chu Mengyao didnt know about these things. She was just waiting for her fathers call to come back, but there was no answer. She called her father again, but no one picked up. She called again, but no one picked up

Mengyao didnt think much of it, a.s.suming that pengzhan was in a meeting. She wanted to call him later, but elder Zhang appeared in the room again.

What do you think? Elder Zhangs face was still the same smile, neither humble nor overbearing, but his words were very formal. Even if he was a Sky Cla.s.s master, he treated every customer who came to trade or buy treasures with the same tone.

This was also the way of survival in the snowy valley. Even cultivators couldnt go without food and water. They also needed money to buy other natural treasures for cultivation.

Elder Zhang, can we discuss this? we dont have that much money on hand right now. Can you give us the ice Spirit Saint fruit for my friend to consume first, and then well gather the money? Tang Yun hesitated before begging with a sincere expression. Well definitely gather the money, but we cant do it too quickly. My friend wont be able to hold on for that long

Dear guests, our Snow Valley has always done business on the spot. We dont accept credit, so Im sorry, but please go back! Elder Zhang said indifferently.

This Elder Zhang, please make an exception. We will really give you the money, but we cant gather that much money in a short time. My friend, on the other hand, cant wait any longer Tang Yun stood still and bowed deeply in front of elder Zhang.Elder Zhang, please make an exception!

I understand your feelings, but in all these years, this kind of thing has happened many times. If we owe each time, wouldnt we be breaking the rules? Elder Zhangs expression did not change at all.Theres no order without rules. Theres no need to talk anymore. When youve gathered enough money, you can come and buy the ice Spirit fruit at any time. Otherwise, theres no need to talk.

Elder Zhang, I beg of you, can you please help me talk to the valley master? Ill have to trouble you! Chu Mengyao was also panicking. She begged with Tang Yun,I beg you, elder Zhang. This is his only hope. If he misses it, Im afraid

Forget it, then Ill ask for you. But whether its successful or not, its still the valley masters decision. Elder Zhang was a kind-hearted person. Looking at these ordinary people with no strength in front of him, who came to the snow Valley for a cultivator, he naturally admired them.

If Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and the others were cultivators, elder Zhang wouldnt let them go. But they weren t. Seeing them come all the way here, elder Zhang felt a little sympathy for them.

Many thanks, elder Zhang! Tang Yuns eyes were filled with grat.i.tude.

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

However, elder Zhangs reply disappointed Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and Shu. The valley master only replied with two words, no!

Elder Zhang said with some regret,everyone, this is the valley masters intention. I have no choice. Please go back!

This was the snowy valley, after all-they made money from selling treasures. If it were the Ice Palace, Tang Yin and the others wouldnt have been treated so well! To go to the Ice Palace to buy the fruit, let alone one billion, even if a normal person were to go, even if they were given two or ten billion, Rock Candy wouldnt even be moved!

After all, the fire Spirits fruit was an essential herb for the Ice Palace sects pract.i.tioners to prevent Qi deviation. The ice Spirits fruit, on the other hand, was only a precious herb to the valley, and had no use for them. (To be continued.)
