At the same time, Liu Dezhu arrived at the Third People's Hospital of Luocheng with his classmates.

This is the best tertiary hospital in Los Angeles.

Last night, Hu Xiaoniu and Zhang Tianzhen received basic wound treatment at the clinic.

They were then transferred to the county hospital for emergency treatment. After their condition stabilized, they were transferred to the city hospital in the early morning for more comprehensive treatment.

The two have just stabilized and are still in the ICU of the Third People's Hospital.

It seems that because of the money, they have access to the best medical facilities and more than ten doctors for expert consultations.

To prevent these injuries from leaving them with any long-term effects.

Their parents arrived in Los Angeles by private plane that morning and were waiting outside the hospital room.

When Liu Dezhu and his classmates arrived at the ward door, they saw six or seven men in black suits standing outside, each with a transparent earpiece hanging on their ear.

This must be the legendary bodyguard of a big shot.

A bodyguard stopped the students, and a distinguished-looking middle-aged man looked at them and asked, "Who are you?"

Xie Xun, the class monitor of Class 4, Grade 2, said, "Hello, Uncle. We are Xiao Niu and Tian Zhen's classmates. We wanted to come and see them."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then asked, "Excuse me, which student is Liu Dezhu?"

Liu Dezhu, standing in the crowd, was also taken aback for a moment. "Me, I am."

The middle-aged man strode over and extended his right hand to Liu Dezhu: "Thank you, young man, thank you for saving Xiao Niu's life. He told me as soon as he regained consciousness that you and your men saved him, otherwise he would definitely have been taken away or killed by the thugs by now."

Liu Dezhu was silent for a few seconds, then grasped the other person's hand and said, "Uncle, actually I didn't do anything."

Seemingly because Hu Xiaoniu's condition had stabilized, the middle-aged man seemed much more relaxed. He smiled and said, "It's good for young people to be humble, but being too humble isn't good. What do you young people say again? Right, Versailles!"

In fact, Hu Xiaoniu had regained his senses by early morning, so he gave a brief account of what had happened.

Hu Xiaoniu's father, a big businessman, initially did not have much respect for the Time Walker. One of the seven bodyguards outside the door was a Time Walker.

Such a person exudes an aura even without speaking, and ordinary Time Walker really can't pose any threat to him.

However, his mindset changed after Hu Xiaoniu and his companions encountered danger in City No. 7.

Because at that moment he realized that no matter how much wealth and status he possessed in the Outer World, it would be difficult to do anything for his son.

Wealth in the Outer World can buy many items in the Inner World, but that doesn't mean wealth can buy everything in the Inner World.

That's why he agreed to transfer Hu Xiaoniu to Luocheng School.

Find a Time Walker named Liu Dezhu.

Moreover, Liu Dezhu, Time Walker who can anticipate good fortune and avoid misfortune and turn the tide afterward, is extraordinary.

Hu Xiaoniu's father was a visionary. He knew that Liu Dezhu might not be doing well now, but he could already see Liu Dezhu's future.

This massive journey involving tens of thousands of people has only just begun. Who knows how glorious the future holds for the other side?

It's worth investing in.

Of course, this might also be because the middle-aged businessman had never witnessed Liu Dezhu's performance in the face of crisis; otherwise, he might have had a different perspective.

At least Liu Dezhu looks like a normal person at this moment...

Hu Xiaoniu's father thought for a moment and said, "I discussed it with Xiaoniu this morning. I wanted to transfer him back to Haicheng Middle School, but he didn't agree. I think he might want to be closer to you, so I think it would be better to transfer you to Haicheng as well. There are better educational resources there, and..."

The rich do things differently. While others were thinking about how to get close to Liu Dezhu, Hu Xiaoniu's father was thinking about how to take Liu Dezhu away and keep him by his side.

However, Liu Dezhu flatly refused. "Uncle, I have no plans to go to Haicheng for the time being. This is where I was born and raised, and my parents and friends are all here."

Hu Xiaoniu's father said, "I can prepare a house for you in Haicheng. You can bring your parents there, and I will give you an additional settlement allowance."

"No need, Uncle," Liu Dezhu shook his head again, "Thank you for your kindness."

By this time, Liu Dezhu had already weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

A house in Haicheng, plus a resettlement fee—it sounds incredibly tempting.

However, the powerful figures around him are in Los Angeles.

Everyone thought he was the one who saved Hu Xiaoniu, but the truth is, if it weren't for the big boss's subordinates intervening, he probably would have died on Laojun Mountain.

It's important to understand that the assailant intended to kill him outright, not use him as a puppet!

Compared to that, it's better to be a mule.

First of all, he could go to Haicheng himself, but the big boss probably wouldn't. If someone tried to kidnap him again, or coveted something on him, he'd be dead for sure.

Secondly, Liu Dezhu realized the importance of strength during his escape.

Many online Time Walker say that even if you have money, you might not be able to find a way to get gene serums in the Inner World. Some people have tried to buy them on the black market, but ended up buying fakes.

But the Cat Face Mask expert is different; he only sells genuine products.

The FDE gene sequence I injected myself has four numbers: 004, 003, 002, and 001. My future is entirely in the hands of the big shots.

He didn't ask for too much; he just wanted to finish the entire sequence of gene serum and become B-Class expert.

It is said that even in the Inner World, B-Class expert is considered to have entered the inner circle, and A-level experts are rare.

By then, wouldn't it be easy for me to get a house in Haicheng?

Moreover, he had already pocketed half of the double reward that Hu Xiaoniu had given him last time.

It would be even better if the other party could give more this time, since the big boss doesn't know how much he's pocketed anyway.

As the saying goes, one should have a long-term vision. Liu Dezhu felt that this business had more strategic value than a house.

On the other hand, even if I go to Haicheng, the big boss will still use me to do business, but what if the big boss finds someone more suitable by his side?

Wouldn't I have ended up with nothing?

When you're being a simp, you have to lick up close; licking from a distance is completely ineffective!

However, at that moment, the communicator in Liu Dezhu's arms vibrated, and he said to everyone, "Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom first."

He crawled into a toilet stall, turned on his communicator, and saw Qing Chen's question, "I heard from my men that Hu Xiaoniu told him that the other party paid double last time, will they pay double again this time?"

One second Liu Dezhu was secretly pleased, the next he was sweating profusely.

He had no idea that something like that had happened last night!

Brother Hu Xiaoniu, why do you tell everyone everything?

This is the second time he has embezzled money. The first time he embezzled a watch, and this time he embezzled gold bars. Liu Dezhu has no idea what kind of treatment he will receive next time he goes to the Inner World.

He replied dejectedly from the bathroom, "Boss, I brought you gold bars this time I traveled through time, please punish me..."

Outside the restroom, people were still whispering among themselves, wondering why Liu Dezhu had been gone for so long.

At this moment, Liu Dezhu suddenly opened the door and came out.

Hu Xiaoniu's father looked at him with a smile and said, "I've been thinking about it. You're still young, so you might not like things like houses. I understand, young people like things that are more exciting. How about this, tell your uncle what you like, and your uncle will definitely arrange it for you."

Liu Dezhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uncle, you might not know this, but I like to wish people a Happy New Year in advance whenever I have free time..."

Thank you to my friend "Memories Never Return" for becoming a new ally of this book. Boss, you're so generous! May you make a fortune!
