Chapter 717 Kneeling to Ask For Help!
In the cla.s.s, no matter how many times Zhu Benzheng tried calling Fang Qiu, the message he received was that the subscriber was not available.
Zhou Xiaotian, Sun Hao and the teachers in the cla.s.s also helped her to check with many people. No one knew where Fang Qiu had gone. It was as if he had disappeared from the school.
The whole affair continued until the afternoon.
When she really could not find Fang Qiu, the woman left the school in disappointment and despair.
All the students at the university were talking about it that night.
Who on earth was this woman? Why didn’t she tell the truth if she wanted to ask Fang Qiu to save her child’s life? What was her child suffering from? Was Fang Qiu the only one who could save the child?
Other than coming up with all kinds of speculations, there were no other conclusions in the discussions among the students.
Everyone thought that this incident would come to an end because they couldn’t find Fang Qiu.
Early the next morning, the woman came again. This time, she did not break into the school. Instead, she had a big board which was made of cards, with her. She came to the gate of the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, knelt down directly and held the big board up, while facing the school.
When people took a closer look, what was written was, “Please, Fang Qiu, save my child. I am kneeling to you!”
The security guard in the security room had just started his s.h.i.+ft. He didn’t even have time to take a sip of hot water before he was frightened by this woman’s actions.
He knew that once this situation got out of hand, there would be a lot of trouble.
Without hesitation, the security guard reported this matter immediately.
However, just as the security guard was making a phone call, all the people pa.s.sing by the school gate stopped and began to watch.
This was the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine where Fang Qiu’s university was. More importantly, Fang Qiu had become so popular recently.
It attracted people who were in a hurry to go to work, or had woken up early in the morning to do their exercises, or were on the way to school. People of all ages came up, one after another.
“Ma’am, what’s the matter?”
An old man came forward and asked, “If you want to ask Fang Qiu to save your child’s life, you should go into the school to look for him. He won’t be able to see you kneeling here.”
“I’ve looked for him in the school.”
The woman frowned and her eyes were filled with tears. She was about to cry and said, “I have been looking for him for the whole of yesterday, but I can’t find him.”
Everyone raised their eyebrows.
“It’s indeed a bit hard to find Fang Qiu. Even media reporters can’t find him. I live near the University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, but I have not seen him at all after a year.”
The old man sighed softly.
“Ma’am, what is your child suffering from? Is Fang Qiu the only one who can help?”
A young man asked.
“My child.”
As soon as her child was mentioned, the woman burst into tears. As tears rolled down her face, she said, “My child is only three years old. He was diagnosed with myeloma in the hospital and is in a serious condition. This disease is a terminal disease. It can’t be cured in the hospital at all. Even the doctor said that my child wouldn’t be able to live for long, so I came to find Fang Qiu because he could cure cancer. I want to ask him to treat my child.”
All of a sudden, everyone understood.
A hint of sadness and pity flashed across many people’s faces.
A three-year-old child was actually suffering from this kind of disease.
This was so pitiful!
In the crowd, a few people recorded the scene with their phones from the beginning.
After that, they immediately uploaded the video to WeChat Moments and Weibo.
This short video attracted great attention on the WeChat Moments. Because WeChat Moments posts could not be reposted, many people recorded the video and uploaded it to Weibo.
Not long after, Weibo was filled with this short video.
Anyone who logged onto Weibo could see this video.
The video went viral at an incredible speed and the contents of this video soon caused a stir on Weibo.
Originally, everyone was practicing the standing posture and exchanging their experiences.
They were immediately attracted by this short video as soon as they saw it.
“It’s so pitiful. Has Fang Qiu come out yet?”
“Isn’t Fang Qiu in school?”
“Fang Qiu is definitely not in school. Otherwise, he would have come out a long time ago. With Fang Qiu’s character, he would never have let this matter go on.”
“How’s the situation now? Where’s the child?”
For a moment, everyone began to be greatly concerned.
After all, it was unfair for the child to go through this.
He was only three years old.
Some people even questioned on Weibo, “G.o.d, since you don’t want him to live, why did you let him come to this world in the first place?”
Meanwhile, everyone was expecting Fang Qiu to come out as soon as possible so that he could help to save the child.
“What?” In the Vice President’s office, Chen Yinsheng also received the phone call. As soon as he heard the report, he knew that something serious had happened.
If this matter was not handled properly, it could destroy Fang Qiu.
After all, the people who came to seek medical treatment were the weak ones. And the patient was a child. In this case, no matter who came to seek medical treatment did, public opinion would be partial to them, even if they did something out of line.
To put it simply, it would be wrong if Fang Qiu didn’t save him. And he would still be blamed even if he was not here.
Chen Yinsheng did not dare to neglect this matter.
He quickly called Fang Qiu and found that his phone was powered off.
Then he called Xu Miaolin and Qi Kaiwen, only to find that no one could get in touch with Fang Qiu.
Chen Yinsheng was worried and immediately walked out of the office and trotted all the way to the outside of the school.
“Ma’am.”
He went straight to the woman kneeling in front of the school gate. He hurriedly tried to persuade her, “I’m Chen Yinsheng, Vice President of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. I already know what happened. Please get up first.”
“No.”
The woman cried and said, “I won’t get up if I can’t see Fang Qiu.”
Chen Yinsheng frowned and said, “But Fang Qiu is not in school. You have been looking for him for the whole of yesterday. If he was in school, he would have appeared a long time ago. Since he is not in school, he would not be able to see you even if you kneel here for a day.”
“I don’t care. I won’t get up until I see Fang Qiu.”
The woman did not listen to him and was still crying. She shook Chen Yinsheng’s hand off repeatedly.
“I have Fang Qiu’s phone number.”
Helplessly, Chen Yinsheng took out his mobile phone and said, “I’ll call Fang Qiu in front of everyone now.”
After that, he immediately dialed the number.
“Sorry. The subscriber you dialed is not available.”
The phone prompt was heard.
All the surrounding onlookers frowned.
“Fang Qiu really isn’t in school.”
“Even the Vice President has come out and he could not get in touch with him. Maybe Fang Qiu really isn’t in school.”
“Where did he go if he is not in school?”
Everyone was talking about this animatedly.
“Ma’am, you also heard it. I could not get through Fang Qiu’s phone at all. We don’t even know where he went. I promise that once I find him, I’ll tell him about your matter as soon as possible. Could you please stand up first?”
Chen Yinsheng continued to persuade the woman.
“I want to see Fang Qiu. I want to see Fang Qiu!”
The woman did not listen to what Chen Yinsheng said at all. She insisted repeatedly that she wanted to see Fang Qiu.
“Fang Qiu is not in school. I can’t get through him. Could you calm down? I can take you inside the school and wait for him, okay?”
Chen Yinsheng was speechless and continued to persuade the woman.
“No, I won’t go. I won’t go anywhere if I can’t see Fang Qiu!”
The woman shook her head as if she had lost her mind. When Chen Yinsheng reached out and was about to help her get up, she fiercely shook off his hand again.
Chen Yinsheng was a little irritated.
In the beginning, he was quite sympathetic to her plight.
But in terms of this matter, he had made a lot of compromises. He was even willing to bring this woman to the school to wait for Fang Qiu. He really wanted to find Fang Qiu as soon as possible to treat the child. But this woman was not acting calmly. It was if she had lost her mind.
In Chen Yinsheng’s opinion, he was willing to do everything he could.
But in such a situation, this woman still wanted to make things difficult for him and the school. He couldn’t bear it.
However, so what if he couldn’t bear it?
With so many people around him, as the vice president of UJCM, he could not be rude to her.
The only way was to keep praying, hoping that Fang Qiu would show up as soon as possible.
“Mr. Yang.”
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade her to leave, Chen Yinsheng could only wave to the security guard in the security room at the gate and said, “Go to the school canteen to get some hot breakfast for her. Don’t let her starve.”
All the people nodded approvingly when they heard that.
Focusing on watching the whole scene, they forgot to get some food for this woman.
Meanwhile, the video of Chen Yinsheng persuading the woman was also recorded and uploaded to the Internet.
People paid more attention to this incident because of the great impact of this matter.
Outside the Fifth Ring of the capital city, there was an old room deep in an alley.
A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in front of a computer browsing through the short video appearing constantly on Weibo.
“Fang Qiu, it’s Fang Qiu again!”
Seeing Fang Qiu’s name, the man’s expression changed. Without any warning, he suddenly slammed the alloy frame computer table in front of him.
This person was none other than Yang Qingtian.
“Not at school?”
“The new semester has started. Why isn’t he in school?”
He snorted angrily.
Yang Qingtian’s eyes suddenly lit up as if he had suddenly thought of something. Then he immediately began to leave comments in the short video reposted by those popular Weibo influencers.
“I’m a student of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine. Don’t ask me who I am. I can only tell you that Fang Qiu is hiding in the school because he can’t cure this disease at all. In order to maintain his image, Fang Qiu deliberately hid and turned off his mobile phone.”
“Now Fang Qiu is representing the image of University of Jiangjing Chinese Medicine, so all the teachers and students in the university are helping him hide. They are all lying when they say he is not at the school.”
After he posted two comments, Yang Qingtian’s face became fierce. He immediately called the paid Internet trolls.
Soon, rumors about Fang Qiu hiding in the school all this time were all over the Internet.
Seeing these rumors that were slandering Fang Qiu, Fang Qiu’s fans did not back down and they began to fight back.
“Fang Qiu is not such a person!”
“Fang Qiu even dared to donate one billion. How could he not dare to treat a child?”
“That’s right. Fang Qiu is a good person. If he were here, he wouldn’t let him die without trying to save him!”
In the school, seeing all kinds of slanderous comments on the Internet, Jiang Miaoyu could not help becoming anxious.
