Qiu Yong refused to accept this outcome and stubbornly insisted, "What if we donate all our assets? Including this villa, it's close to 200 million yuan."
"Brother Yong!"
Ding Xia exclaimed in surprise, staring blankly at her husband Qiu Yong, tears welling up silently. She never expected that her husband would be willing to do anything to save her life.
At this moment, Ding Xia felt that she had no regrets in this life, and even if she died immediately, she would have no regrets.
"Are you willing to do that?"
Lin Yao neither agreed nor refused, but stared intently at Qiu Yong and gently asked his question.
News of people donating all their wealth abroad happens frequently. Those billionaires who donate all their wealth actually leave themselves enough money to ensure normal social and living expenses. This kind of reservation, whether through the annual dividends of a foundation or the normal income from a real estate, is a drop in the ocean compared to the money they donate, but it is enough to ensure that their standard of living is far above that of ordinary people.
Lin Yao didn't know Qiu Yong and Ding Xia's net worth. But Qiu Yong's statement that he would even sell this villa clearly indicated that he was prepared to donate all his wealth. Once the donation was made, the couple would be left with only the two of them, and all their assets, even their lives, would have to start from scratch.
This was what Lin Yao most wanted to know. He wanted to see how determined Qiu Yong was and to understand Qiu Yong's true thoughts.
"Brother Yong! You don't need to do this. This is money you worked so hard to earn. You can't donate it all because of me!"
Ding Xia anxiously grabbed her husband's arm and shook it hard, but she couldn't budge the mountain-like man. "You said before that you wanted to be a rich man so that your parents would be proud of you and the villagers would live a good life. Now that you finally have the means, donating it all would mean starting all over again. Besides, opportunities in society aren't as good as they used to be."
Qiu Yong ignored his wife's objections, stared straight at Lin Yao, and gave his answer, "Mr. Lin, I am a farmer's son, I don't understand those big principles, I only know many of them from what my wife told me."
"At that time, I knew one thing: the whole life is about pursuing happiness. As long as we are alive, we can be happy, even if we eat chaff and drink soup! That is enough!"
Turning to look at his wife, Qiu Yong said gently, "Xia, I remember that ideal, but after we became rich, we really forgot about it. We made Dada and Mother proud, but the wish to let the villagers live a good life was completely forgotten. I forgot my roots after I got rich."
“It’s alright. Since Mr. Lin can guarantee that he can cure your illness, it’s enough that we’re alive. As long as I live with you, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have a car or a house. I will definitely be the happiest man in the world!”
Ding Xia could no longer see her husband's face clearly; tears completely blurred her vision. She only felt happiness; she had the greatest happiness a woman could have, and she had no other thoughts.
That money was earned anyway, and it's good to donate it to help people in need. It doesn't matter whether she and her husband can earn money in the future, because the world has already been good enough to her and given her the best man.
After a long while, the couple finally calmed down. Ding Xia looked at Lin Yao and said, "Mr. Lin, we're donating everything in the hope that you can cure my illness. Of course, the prerequisite is that Ji Rong and Jia Maode are punished so that we can be safe."
Witnessing the heartwarming scene, Lin Yao was deeply moved and nodded in agreement to Ding Xia's request, "No need to donate so much, just 100 million. As long as you are sincere, you can help more people with your future earnings."
"By the way, donations should be given to the Minhong Charity Foundation, and all of them will be used for charitable causes. If you have any questions about the donations, the foundation will provide you with a detailed breakdown of how they were used."
“No need, Mr. Lin. This charity foundation is the most transparent foundation in the world. The source and destination of any funds are very clear. They even scan the signatures and fingerprints of those who receive help. Qiu Yong and I both trust this foundation.”
"Alright, it's settled then." Lin Yao didn't waste any words and gave the answer directly, "After Ji Rong and Jia Maode are brought to justice, you will donate money, and I will help you get better treatment so that you can have your own children in the future."
"real?!"
Qiu Yong and Ding Xia shouted in unison, staring blankly at Lin Yao. Even the nearly 100 million yuan that Lin Yao left them had not excited them so much.
Although Qiu Yong once said that as long as one is alive, one can be happy, but if one can have the fruit of their love, life will be even more fulfilling and happier.
On the road of life, there is no such thing as the happiest, only the happiest.
※※※※※
As arranged by Lin Yao, Qiu Yong and Ding Xia, who had reconciled, continued to pretend to be in a cold war. Qiu Yong went directly back to the rural area of Shanxi and secretly brought his parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew to the sealed-off Minhong Hospital. Of course, they stayed in the courtyard where the Minhong security team was gathered, located in the suburbs of Taiyuan.
Qiu Yong used the excuse of returning to his hometown to take care of the elderly to avoid Ji Rong's harassment. Ding Xia, on the other hand, appeared in public several times a day, looking frail and weak. After being blocked by reporters, she stopped saying bad things about Min Hong and only asked the reporters not to tire her out too much, considering that she was about to die.
As the investigation into Vice Governor Jia Maode progressed, Lin Yao made corresponding arrangements, transferring several mid-level officials from Yanji to Taiyuan to protect Ding Xia, Qiu Yong, and their relatives. Ding Xia's parents, who lived far away in Jiangsu, were also admitted to the local Minhong Hospital at the same time and received close protection.
Five days have passed, and on the surface, there seems to be little progress. Minhong Hospitals and clinics in Taiyuan and throughout Shanxi Province remain sealed off, the national media continues to discuss the case intensely, and Minhong Hospitals in other regions have inevitably faced a downturn.
The once bustling scene, with long queues waiting to sign agreements and take medication, has become deserted. Only those patients who have great confidence in Minhong, or those who are truly impoverished and value their lives so much that they can only leave it to fate and choose Minhong's low-priced drugs, persist in supporting Minhong's hospitals and clinics across the country.
"Yaoyao, that wicked woman Ji Rong is with that wicked man Jia Maode. They're in that villa by Yingze Lake."
On the fifth night, Xiaocao finally brought news that Vice Governor Jia had met with Ji Rong. Lin Yao had been waiting for this news for three whole days. All the other evidence had been collected, and he was just waiting for this final piece of evidence. Otherwise, Ding Xia's lawsuit against Minhong Pharmaceutical would go to trial in two days, and incomplete evidence would give that old fox Jia Maode plenty of time to prepare.
"Okay, let's get started."
Lin Yao smiled, mentally giving Xiao Cao instructions to go out with Ding Xia to retrieve the evidence.

No. 288 Jiefang Road. Taiyuan Intermediate People's Court.
The solemn national emblem hangs high on the front of the majestic building, and the pillars, like pillars of judgment, support this behemoth, making people feel very small when they stand in front of it, and involuntarily giving rise to awe.
There was an aura, an imposing presence, permeating the entire interior of the courthouse, making it difficult to breathe. Those who entered instinctively lowered their voices, or even fell silent altogether.
