Chapter 1808 – Car Accident
Humans die for riches, birds die for food.There were plenty of examples like this in the world. If he hadn't been greedy for more money, he wouldn't have ended up with nothing at all.
"Young man, you seem to have something on your mind?" An old man walked over to the bench beside Pengzhan and sat down. It was weird for him to call Pengzhan young man, but with his age, it wasn't too much.
"Haha … It's nothing …" Pengzhan, naturally, didn't want to talk about his pain with a stranger. He only smiled faintly.
"If there's something on your mind, if there's something you can't solve, then go die …" The old man said, minding his own business.
"Go die?" Pengzhan paused, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes. He stood up abruptly and started stumbling forward, charging towards a van that was speeding past … …
A loud bang sounded as the van sent Pengzhan's body flying, followed by the screech of the brakes …
The old man stood up, not even looking at Pengzhan as he turned and left … He was the hypnotist in disguise!
The police and ambulance arrived at the scene quickly, but the van driver didn't run away. Instead, he was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, not knowing what to do next …
The ambulance took Pengzhan away and rushed to the hospital, leaving the police behind to investigate the scene. The van's dashcam showed that Pengzhan seemed to have committed suicide, crashing into the van of his own volition. At least, that was what the video showed. The police couldn't confirm the victim's or the victim's identity yet, so they couldn't confirm whether or not the victim had a motive to commit suicide. They had to investigate further to determine if the driver should be held responsible …
However, the results of the investigation came out quickly. Pengzhan was the former chairman of Pengzhan Industries, but his recent investments had failed, causing him to lose everything. From this, it could be seen that his motive for suicide was very clear …
According to the owner of a nearby newsstand who had witnessed the whole accident, Pengzhan had indeed rammed into the car of his own volition. He'd been sitting on a bench by the side of the road when an old man passed by and said a few words to Pengzhan. It was as if Pengzhan had gone insane and rammed into the car that was coming his way … ….
That old man was suspicious, and perhaps he'd said something to provoke Pengzhan, or maybe he'd failed to persuade Pengzhan, causing him to commit suicide. However, the newsstand owner didn't remember what the old man looked like, and his attention was diverted by the accident. As for when the old man left, he didn't see it clearly …
The driver of the van didn't have to bear any responsibility with the driver and the car recorder as witnesses. Pengzhan didn't die on the spot, but he was sent to the hospital's intensive care unit. Li Fu rushed to the hospital the moment he got the news.
Mengyao, on the other hand, didn't know about all this. She was waiting for her father's call, but there was no answer. She tried again, but there was still no answer …
Mengyao didn't think much about it, thinking that Pengzhan was in a meeting. When she was about to call again, Elder Zhang appeared in the guest room.
"Have you guys made up your mind?" Elder Zhang still had the same humble smile on his face, but his words were very formal. Even if he was a Heaven Stage expert, he would always use the same tone when dealing with customers who came to exchange or buy heavenly treasures.
This was also the way of survival in the Snow Valley. Even cultivators had to eat and drink. They also needed money to buy other natural treasures for cultivation.
"Elder Zhang, can we discuss this? We don't have that much money on hand right now. Can you give us the Ice Spirit's Fruit for my friend first, and we'll gather the money later?" Tang Yin hesitated before begging sincerely, "We'll definitely gather the money, but we can't be too fast. I'm afraid my friend won't be able to last that long …"
"Dear customers, our Snowy Valley has always been a business deal- we don't take credit, so I'm sorry, but please leave!" Elder Zhang said faintly.
"This … Elder Zhang, please, we'll give you the money, it's just that we don't have that much right now, but my friend really can't wait much longer …" Tang Yun stood up and bowed deeply, "Please, Elder Zhang, please let us go!"
"I understand how you guys feel, but we've seen this a lot in Snowy Valley over the years. If we take credit every time, wouldn't we be breaking the rules?" Elder Zhang's face didn't change at all, "Nothing can be accomplished without rules. You guys don't need to say anymore. You can come buy the Ice Spirit's Fruit when you have enough money, otherwise there's no need to talk."
"Elder Zhang, I'm begging you, can you talk to the valley head? Thank you! " Mengyao was panicking as well, begging with Tang Yin, "Please, Elder Zhang, this is his only hope, if he misses it, I'm afraid …"
"Fine, I'll ask for you guys, but it's up to the valley head to decide." Elder Zhang was a kind-hearted person. Looking at these ordinary people in front of him who did not have the slightest bit of strength, he naturally felt some admiration for them for coming all the way to the Snow Valley to seek medicine for a cultivator.
If Tang Yun, Mengyao, and the others were practitioners, Elder Zhang wouldn't have let them in. But they weren't. Elder Zhang felt a bit of sympathy for them, seeing that they had come all the way here.
"Thank you, Elder Zhang!" Tang Yin's eyes flashed with gratitude.
Elder Zhang nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned around and left the room.
However, the results of Elder Zhang's report disappointed Tang Yun, Mengyao, and Shu. The valley master only replied with two words, "No!"
Elder Zhang said regretfully, "Everyone, this is the valley head's wish, I can't do anything about it. Please go back!"
This was the Snowy Valley, they relied on selling treasures to make money. If it were the Ice Palace, Tang Yin and the others wouldn't receive such treatment! Going to the Ice Palace to buy the Fire Spirit's Fruit, even if a normal person offered two billion or even ten billion, Bingtang wouldn't be moved!
After all, the Fire Spirit's Fruit was a necessary medicine for the Ice Palace practitioners to prevent themselves from going crazy, but the Ice Spirit's Fruit was just a precious medicine to the Snowy Valley. It had no use for them.
