Chapter 45

It has been a few days since Ming Chen learnt his lesson on not messing with He Long and where he was finally able to tell him about the snake situation. Once He Logn heard this he ordered people to look into this particular kind of snake and find out of anyone owned it. 

It was easy to this sort of information, He Long came from a rich and powerful family and had the resources to find out something like this very easily. Once they found out who owned the snake, He Long and Ming Chen gave that individual a visit. 

Once they reached that individuals house, it was a small house in the country side. The house looked almost run down. He Long and Ming Chen got out of the car, and immediately Ming Chen looked at his watch. Seeing this He Long felt upset. 

Ming Chen had taken a few days off from work to help become as he feel ill after the office incident, Ming Chen so many days off work and is to return today. He kept looking at his watch to make sure that he isn't late. 

"Don't worry we will finish this quick and get you to work time", as much as He Long didn't want to Ming Chen to work, he had no other choice. His beloved loved working as much as he loved him and he didn't have to heart to stop him from doing so, unless that was something he close himself. 

He Long knocked on the rundown door, which Ming Chen waiting patiently behind. Two had waited for a little while before knocking again. They had knocked on the door for the third time now and as they got no answer they were about to leave when they heard shuffling inside the house, before the door was slowly opened. 

The person who opened the door was a man in his 60's. He had a beard which was turning white. The old man looked displease to see He Long and Ming Chen at the door.

"What do you want", the old man said with a scowl on his face. He Long instantly didn't like the man. However, Ming Chen felt that his man looked somewhat familiar. 

"Hello , uncle sorry for disturbing you, but we heard that you have a special snake, we came to see that", Ming Chen said as he greeted the man respectfully. 

The man who had a displeased look on his face had somewhat soften down a bit. 

"Well your out of luck, someone stole that snake, now go away", the old man said before shutting the door. 

"Wa-", before Ming Chen could say anything, the door was shut tight and the old man was no were in sight. 

"Lets go there isn't much we can do now. Lets leave before it gets too late", He Long said as he guided Ming Chen to the car. When Ming Chen looked back he could see that the older man was looking out from the corner of the window towards him and He Long. Ming Chen wanted to say something but the old man moved away.

He Long dropped Ming Chen to the hospital and kissed him goodbye before leaving for work himself. Ming Chen had been working for a few hours now and had decided to take a work in the park next to the hopstital. The park was attached to the hospital and a lot of children were bought here by their parents to help then recover. 

Ming Chen was taking a peaceful walk in the park when he noticed a young child sitting on a bench, tears streaming down their face. Concerned, Ming Chen approached the child and asked what was wrong. The child sniffled and pointed to their leg, which was bleeding from a nasty cut.

Quickly assessing the situation, Ming Chen knelt down beside the child and offered a comforting smile. "It's going to be okay," he assured the child. He took a tissue from his pocket and gently wiped away the blood, revealing the cut on the child's leg.

Ming Chen reached into his bag and pulled out a small first-aid kit. He carefully cleaned the wound with an antiseptic wipe, making sure to be gentle and soothing throughout the process to calm the child's anxiety. Then, he applied a bandage and secured it in place.

As he finished, Ming Chen praised the child for being brave and strong throughout the ordeal. He offered a piece of candy from his bag to lift the child's spirits. With a smile on their face, the child thanked Ming Chen for his help.

Ming Chen reminded the child to be careful in the future and not to worry, as he would always be there to lend a hand. The child's tears turned into a heartfelt grin, and they went back to playing in the park. 

Ming Chen felt a little pain in his heart. If his son was born would have been like this child playing in the park without a care. Ming Chen didn't get to engulfed in his thought and went back to work. He had decided to visit that old man by the country side to try and get more information so that he can help cure He Long's nephew. 

Four hours later, Ming Chen has finally finished his work once he was done, he said goodbye to everyone on the floor and went outside. He called for a taxi and took the taxi to the old man's house. As he stood in front of the door, as he was about to knock the door was opened by the man.

"You are definitely Ming Chen Ying's grandson. Every so persistent", the old man said turning around to head inside the house while beckoning Ming Chen to come inside. 

"I thought I was mistaken but I can't believe it actually uncle Mo", Ming Chen said as he smile happy at the older man. Uncle Mo was one of his grandfathers followers, he had left over 10 years ago to work in a foreign country but to think he ended up like this. Ming Chen felt upset on his behalf.

"Don't feel said little Ming, I'm not living in his place because I have no money", uncle Mo said and paused for a little bit.
