Chapter 180 - Recovered From His Illness
Meanwhile, Old Man Gong stayed at the hospital for two days, and Fang Liu didn’t allow anyone to enter the operating room. She only asked for two assistants to help her.
During those two days, Big Gong had contacted a funeral company. He waited for Fang Liu to announce that Old Man Gong had died so that he could bury his father. Then Big Gong would let the reporters take pictures of him burying his father. Everything would finally be over when that day came, and Big Gong could go about his day.

Nonetheless, Fang Liu came looking for Big Gong in advance and talked about the advertising billboard at the Economic Trading Plaza. Big Gong guessed that Fang Liu was afraid he would go back on his word.
Big Gong thought that Fang Liu had come to ask for it before telling him that his father was dead. He smiled and said, “I have arranged for the billboard to be transferred to you. Here’s the contract.”
Fang Liu also handed a contract to Big Gong. When Big Gong saw the words Fang Liu Foundation written on the contract, he was relieved and happily signed it.
The two exchanged contracts, then Big Gong forced a sorrowful expression and asked, “Doctor Fang, may I know when I can pick my father up?”
Fang Liu looked at Big Gong with a faint smile and replied, “Have you prepared a coffin for Old Man Gong?” Big Gong grinned and answered, “Of course. I got him a high-grade golden-silk coffin. That’s the last act of gratitude I can offer my poor father.” Big Gong thought that Fang Liu was aware of his father’s inevitable death, so she didn’t hide it from him.
Big Gong figured that Fang Liu was just straightening out their deal beforehand. He knew that his father couldn’t be saved even by God’s hand.
Fang Liu nodded. “Then come to the operating room at eight o’clock tonight.” Fang Liu looked helpless as she walked out of Big Gong’s temporary office.
Unbeknownst to Big Gong, Fang Liu was happy that she had cured Old Man Gong. But she wondered whether or not it was a good thing for the older gentleman.
At around seven o’clock in the evening, Big Gong arrived at the hospital with his wife and child. The three looked like they were prepared to cry. Madam Gong started crying and shrieked, “Father-in-law, why did you leave us so soon?!”
However, Madam Gong’s cry sounded pretentious to Fang Liu. Big Gong also wanted to cry, but he didn’t know how to express his sadness when he heard his wife’s earth-shattering shriek. Big Gong’s face twisted, but he couldn’t squeeze out a single tear.
Then the seven or eight-year-old boy beside them covered his face and cried enthusiastically, “G-Grandpa, you won’t be able to pick me up from school anymore. I-I’ll start listening to your advice if you come home.”
Fang Liu looked at the family and had a good impression of the little boy.
Fang Liu looked at the big family and had a good impression of the little boy.
Big Gong then carried the little boy and moved aside. “Come with me, William. They are going to bring Grandpa out.” Two bodyguards dressed in protective gear, carrying a stretcher, pushed open the hospital door and entered. They were prepared to carry Old Man Gong’s body out of the operating room.
Behind the bodyguards were reporters Bei Bei and Zhou Zi.
Big Gong lowered his head and covered his face. He looked dejected as he dared not look at his father’s body. The three family members cried so loud that it hurt everyone’s ears.
Suddenly, a scream echoed from the operating room, shocking everyone. Big Gong stopped crying and looked toward the operating room in confusion. ‘What happened? Did my father become a reanimated corpse?’
Big Gong saw his father walking out of the operating room with a wooden cane as he thought of this. The older gentleman was thin, and he was all skin and bones. His eyes were sunken, and he looked no different from a skeleton.
Big Gong was in shock and stumbled backward, falling onto the ground. His fat body rippled when he hit the floor. “Ah! I-It’s a ghost!” Big Gong yelled.
Big Gong had already prepared a coffin for the older gentleman. He never expected Old Man Gong to be alive. At this moment, Big Gong thought he had already killed his father. But it seems that Old Man Gong had come to haunt him.
Madam Gong also screamed, and she looked like she was gasping for air. She stared at the older gentleman in disbelief. However, the little boy was the only one with a smile. In a surprise, the little boy rushed toward Old Man Gong and exclaimed, “Grandpa, thank goodness you’re all right!”
Old Man Gong was shocked when the little boy rushed forward to hug him. The older gentleman’s eyes revealed a loving expression. But when Old Man Gong looked up and saw Big Gong and Madam Gong, his expression instantly changed. Meanwhile, Bei Bei and Zhou Zi stood on the sidelines, recording the entire interaction. Bei Bei looked at the camera in disbelief and said, “Oh my goodness. Old Man Gong has been cured!”
