"Doctor, where are you taking my father?"

Du Yun Qing anxiously grabbed the doctor's arm, his gaze never leaving Father Du's body. Her eyes were bloodshot from the sleepless night, and her appearance was a little messy due to her hasty arrival.

"Please pay the treatment fee and naturally, you will be able to bring your father back." The doctor wanted to throw out his arm, but he wanted to stop her from following him.

Du Ruqing had long since handed over the money that the manager had given her a few days ago. As a result, her pockets were already empty. All that was left were some scattered money. After several days of early retirement and absenteeism, she did not expect to receive any money.

"I-I'll find a way to save the money and give it to the hospital." Du Liqing lowered her head. Her mood was extremely complicated. Since she didn't want to look for Lu Juyan and the others, she could only rely on her own hard work to exchange for money.

She only hoped that the hospital would give her a little more time, but it would cost her.

"Then there's nothing we can do about it. Your father's body will be temporarily taken into custody in our hospital."

The doctor brushed away Du Yun's hand and patted the spot she grabbed with slight disgust. It seemed as if there was something dirty on it. There was a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

After speaking, he walked away from this place without leaving any time for Du Liqing to say anything.

In that moment of silence, Du Ruqing's mind went blank as he weakly sat on the ground, tears rolling down his face. Pain spread through her heart as a feeling of helplessness tightly surrounded her.

Qu Yan's research.

Her thoughts involuntarily revealed these three words. If she didn't have any other choice, she probably wouldn't be willing to plead with him.

"Research, can I trouble you to lend me some money?" Du Liqing took out his phone, his hazy eyes looking forward. As soon as she picked up the phone, she blurted out the thoughts in her head.

On the other end of the phone, when Qu Yanzhi heard Du Liqing's voice and felt her choking voice, her brows slightly furrowed, and she immediately decided to agree.

Yuan Wei, who came from the kitchen, had a puzzled expression on his face as he walked over. Qu Yan Shi was holding his phone as he explained to him, causing him to unconsciously feel sorry for Du Liqing.

Lan Qing, don't be sad. Yuan Wei and I will help you with the money. After a while, Qu Yan Shi placed her gaze on her phone and spoke slowly again.

Qu Yan Shi had unconsciously injured Yuan Wei's hand. At this moment, she understood the fragility of life and became increasingly unwilling to leave the man by her side.

"Thank you!" Du Ruqing's heart was filled with gratitude, but her tears continued to fall. She didn't know why she wanted to cry so badly. She just didn't know why she should stop crying.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei rushed to the hospital. Along the way, Qu Yanzhi became red-eyed. She called the cemetery people, hoping to buy a good Feng Shui treasured land for her father to rest in.

"Okay, miss, I will go and prepare it now." The waiter agreed without hesitation and began to prepare the territory and other important things for the dead.

After hanging up, Qu Yan Shi looked at the man beside her and subconsciously reminded him, "Go to the bank and get some money first so that I can pay for the funeral."

Qu Yanxing knew that Du Ruqing would never ask for help from the two of them when she thought of it, so she had to do her best to not let her worry about anything again.

"Alright." Yuan Wei naturally agreed and parked his car near the bank. He unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car quickly, and took out his bank card to withdraw the appropriate amount of money.

Returning to the car, Yuan Wei gave the money to Qu Yan Shan and warned him not to bring up his grievances. The tacit understanding between the two made them smile faintly, but neither of them felt anything different at this moment.

In the hospital, Du Ruqing was tired from crying and her tears stopped falling. He held on to the wall and stood up at a moderate pace. Then, he walked to a place where he could sit and calmly waited.

Her appearance was extremely calm. If it wasn't for her swollen red eyes, it would be impossible to tell that she had experienced anything.

Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei had been searching for Du Liqing ever since they arrived at the hospital. Originally, they wanted to call her, but they found out that her phone was turned off. Thus, they could only blindly search for her.

"Cyan!" Looking at the familiar figure not too far away, Qu Yan Shi called out Du Ruqing's name loudly and quickly walked forward, her voice filled with excitement.

Du Ruqing raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him without saying a word. The corners of his lips curled up into a smile. He seemed very calm, but was actually very bitter.

"Shall we go and handle the formalities for Uncle Dean?"

Qu Yanzhi didn't know how to persuade Du Liqing, but she subconsciously threw herself at her and hugged her, trying to give her some warmth. Seeing that the others still had no reaction, he helplessly took a few steps back and reminded them.

"Alright." Du Ruqing agreed without a second word. She opened her dry and tearful lips and in the blink of an eye, closed them again, as if she hadn't said anything just now.

The three of them went to the front desk of the hospital. Qu Yan Shi and Yuan Wei handed the bank card to the nurse and paid the huge amount of surgery fee for Du Dai. Then, they got Du Liqing to sign the contract to collect the corpse.

Father Du was pushed out of the morgue by a doctor. His face was covered with a white cloth, and no one knew the look on his face. Du Ruqing silently stood there looking at Father Du without any reaction. His mood seemed to be overly calm, causing the two people beside him to be worried.

However, no one said anything as they brought Father Du to the Burial Hall to let the people inside clean his body and put on some makeup.

After a long moment of silence, the staff pushed Father Du out of the room.

Du Ruqing calmly looked at him. Seeing her father as serene as if he was sleeping, she couldn't help but feel curious.

"Don't be sad." Qu Yan Shi patted Du Yun's shoulder to calm him down, but her eyes had already turned red and her tears were on the verge of falling.

Du Liqing who was standing aside didn't say anything. The white pills echoed in his mind. The more he thought about it, the stranger it felt. He made up his mind to investigate everything clearly!

Seeing the silent Du Lianqing, Qu Yan Shi didn't know what to say. She helplessly looked at Yuan Wei, but he also didn't know how to console her. The two of them could only silently stand to the side to accompany Du Liqing. Neither of them said anything as they tried their best to hold back their tears.

Father Du's illness was not actually life-threatening, but now he was dead in front of Du Liqing. The attending physician also committed suicide a few days ago, and the nurse also resigned due to being caught. All of these things left Du Liqing at a loss as to what to do.

Just as Du Liqing was about to give up, a phone call interrupted her train of thoughts.
