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 wasn’t too much to call him young at his age.

“Hehe … It’s nothing …” Pengzhan naturally didn’t want to talk about his pain to a stranger, so he only smiled faintly.

“If there’s something on your mind and trouble you can’t solve, then go to hell …” The old man said to himself.

“Go to hell?” 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 pengzhan’s 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 van’s dashcam, Chu pengzhan seemed to have committed suicide, crashing into the van of his own accord. At least that was what the video showed, but they couldn’t 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 passed 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 he’d said something to provoke Chu pengzhan, or perhaps he’d failed to persuade Chu pengzhan and triggered Chu pengzhan’s rebellious mind, causing him to commit suicide-but the newsstand owner didn’t remember what the old man looked like. His attention was diverted by the car accident, and he didn’t see when the old man left …

With the newspaper stand owner and the dashcam as witnesses, the van driver naturally didn’t have to take any responsibility. Pengzhan didn’t die on the spot, but he was sent to the hospital’s intensive care unit.

Chu Mengyao didn’t know about these things. She was just waiting for her father’s 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 didn’t think much of it, assuming 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 Zhang’s face was still the same smile, neither humble nor overbearing, but his words were very formal. Even if he was a Sky Class 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 couldn’t go without food and water. 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 Saint fruit for my friend to consume first, and then we’ll gather the money?” Tang Yun hesitated before begging with a sincere expression. “We’ll definitely gather the money, but we can’t do it too quickly. My friend won’t be able to hold on for that long …”

“Dear guests, our Snow Valley has always done business on the spot. We don’t accept credit, so I’m 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 can’t gather that much money in a short time. My friend, on the other hand, can’t 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, wouldn’t we be breaking the rules?” Elder Zhang’s expression did not change at all.””There’s no order without rules. There’s no need to talk anymore. When you’ve gathered enough money, you can come and buy the ice Spirit fruit at any time. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk.”

“Elder Zhang, I beg of you, can you please help me talk to the valley master? I’ll 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, I’m afraid …”

“Forget it, then I’ll ask for you. But whether it’s successful or not, it’s still the valley master’s 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 wouldn’t 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 Yun’s eyes were filled with gratitude.

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

However, elder Zhang’s 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 master’s 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 wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t even be moved!

After all, the fire Spirit’s fruit was an essential herb for the Ice Palace sect’s practitioners to prevent Qi deviation. The ice Spirit’s fruit, on the other hand, was only a precious herb to the valley, and had no use for them. (To be continued.)
