Chapter 223: Being assassinated
After the silence lasted for a long time, Shen Sanfeng said, "Why did you refuse such a good opportunity?"
"Yes! You are too willful to act like a child." Zhou Dachuan also said with a stiff face.
Gu Chan smiled lightly, "I considered many factors."
At this point, Gu Chan paused, and then continued, "First, I don't want to be used as a spearman by them; second, even if I don't rely on them, I am sure that I can eat many medical clinics; third, I Being entangled with them is useful, but it is definitely not as useful as me being entangled with the three Tian brothers from the Central Plains camp. "
"This..." Shen Sanfeng and Zhou Dachuan were both shocked and speechless.
At this moment, they seemed to see Gu Chan again.
And what surprised them the most was that Gu Chan at this time and Gu Chan who had just been in the private room looked completely different, as if they were not the same person.
Gu Chan added, "Don't worry, godfather. I have my own considerations. I can worship Master Huozhou, but I can't rush to worship him. My main target is the Central Plains Camp, because there are soldiers there. As long as I'm behind, With the support of soldiers, anyone in Zhongyuan City can deal with it."
"Okay, your words have completely convinced me, and I won't persuade you anymore. How do you plan to become this master in the future?" Shen Sanfeng was persuaded and asked.
Gu Chan reached out and touched her chin. She thought to herself for a while before saying, "Wait a minute. The time to become a disciple is not yet ripe. You still need to wait for an opportunity."
"Gu Chan, Gu Chan, I can't understand you more and more now. You look like a child on the surface, but when you are really serious, you look like an extremely mature adult. What is going on with you?" Shen Sanfeng finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
Gu Chan chuckled and returned to her childlike appearance and said, "Godfather, you are overthinking. I am who I am! I didn't learn these thoughts from you."
"Go, stop doing this, I never taught you these things." Shen Sanfeng said helplessly.
Gu Chan smiled softly and didn't explain much.
After that, the three of them stopped talking and rested quietly in the carriage.
After midnight, the carriage finally returned to the refugee area.
At this time, the three of them, Gu Chan, were all asleep in the carriage. When the carriage stopped outside the Central Medical Center of the Refugee Area, the driver driving the carriage outside suddenly opened the curtain and shouted inside, "Master, wake up quickly, it's not good." , Something big happened!"
Gu Chan and the others were awakened and hurriedly got out of the carriage.
But at this moment, the three of them all stayed on the spot as they looked at the scene in front of them.
At this moment, the three-story building of Zhongyuan Medical Center in front of me has been burned and collapsed. Some places are still burning. Wisps of white smoke are rising into the sky, and the firelight illuminates this area clearly.
Ma Zheng was waiting for everyone in the hospital, all of them with black heads and black faces, to sit slumped in front of the burned-down hospital.
Seeing Gu Chan and the others coming back, Ma Zheng immediately ran forward, knelt down in front of Gu Chan and cried, "Boss, I'm sorry for you. You asked me to protect the medical center this morning. I didn't protect it well. It's all my fault." , I deserve to die.”
"Pa bang bang..."
After saying that, Ma Zheng raised his hands and slapped his face hard from left to right.
Zhang Wanshan and others who were slumped on the ground shed tears of sadness when they saw Ma Zheng blaming himself.
Ouyang Wan'er hurriedly rushed to stop Ma Zheng, helped him up from the ground, and said to Gu Chan, "Husband, don't blame him. It's not his fault. Someone deliberately set fire to our medical center."
"Is everyone okay?" Gu Chan came to her senses, and her first concern was not about the hospital, but about everyone. Ouyang Wan'er cried and said, "Don't worry, everyone escaped, but we couldn't put out the fire in time. Our medical center was burned down... Wuwuwu..."
At the end of the story, she burst into tears and was extremely sad.
Gu Chan stepped forward, opened her arms, held Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng in her arms, patted their backs and gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, don't cry, as long as you are safe, it's just It’s just a rundown house, nothing special, just burn it!”
"Woooooooo..."
Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng threw themselves into her arms, crying even more sadly.
Zhou Dachuan choked and said, "Oh God! Why are you so unfair to us? We have obviously won the third stack and can open a medical clinic, but now the house is burned down, how can you not see us like this? All of us Almost all the savings have been used to repair this small building!”
When Zhang Wanshan and others heard what he said, they all couldn't help crying anymore.
Gu Chan stiffened her face in hatred, gritted her teeth, and was furious.
There is no doubt that someone deliberately sent someone to secretly set fire to her medical clinic!
At this moment, she really wanted to find this person and cut him into pieces, but it was a pity that there was no evidence and no one was caught. She didn't know who to look for.
Shen Sanfeng took a step forward, reached out and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, everyone, calm down. The most important thing right now is to count the remaining assets and find a new place to live, otherwise you will have to sleep on the street tonight."
"My godfather is right, everyone, please stop crying. This is not a big deal. Stay strong. By the way, I want to tell you some good news. Shopkeeper Zhou and I won the medical showdown tonight. We have already obtained the land title. , building deeds, and three stacks of medical books, we will finally settle down in Zhongyuan City." Gu Chan let go of Ouyang Wan'er and Ma Zheng, took out the small brocade box and raised it above her head, and shouted to everyone with a forced smile.
When everyone heard what she said, they stopped crying and felt much comforted.
After all, if the house is gone, you can build it again. If you lose the medical showdown tonight and you can't get the medical certificate and can't open the medical clinic, this will be a bigger blow to everyone.
Gu Chan turned to look at Shen Sanfeng, "Godfather, I have something to ask you."
"Borrowing money, right?" Shen Sanfeng asked.
"Well, can you lend me five thousand taels first, so that everyone can have enough money to eat?" Gu Chan said with a grimace.
Shen Sanfeng shook his head, "Fifty thousand taels is not enough. You make arrangements for everyone tonight, and I will go back to make arrangements. Tomorrow I will directly send someone to deliver you 50,000 taels of silver notes."
"Thank you godfather, then I lent you this, and I will go to the Shen family with interest to return it to you." Gu Chan said firmly.
"We'll talk about it later when you get better. The most important thing now is that you settle down and then find out the real culprit who assassinated you. After I go back, I will also send someone to help you investigate secretly." Shen Sanfeng said.
Gu Chan sneered and said, "No need, godfather, just leave this matter to me. I know who is plotting against me. I promise to resolve the matter in three days and return the money you borrowed with interest."
Shen Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
The two of them didn't say anything else after that, and he immediately got on the carriage and left, returning to Shen's house in the wealthy area of the East District.
Gu Chan began to lead everyone to count the remaining assets that had been rescued from the fire.
