"I'm so sorry! This time, I've troubled Beichuan," Magong Tong, who had just escaped from the spiritual realm, once again bowed to Beichuan Si.

Beside her stood a middle-aged man and woman.

At a cursory glance, it could be seen that the middle-aged woman looked about 50 percent like Magong Yongshi and Shenzhu Shihui.

These were, in fact, Magong Tong's parents, Magong Zhen and Magong Xing.

Aside from Magong Zhen and Magong Xing, a group of bodyguards surrounded them for protection.

Behind them were the handcuffed remnants of the Church of Truth and Happiness.

After Magong Tong had expressed her gratitude, Magong Zhen, who had been standing by, approached with sincerity and said, "Our daughter has really inconvenienced Beichuan. We are very sorry."

Saying this, Magong Zhen tried to pull his wife into a bow to express their thanks to Beichuan Si.

However, Beichuan Si stopped him in his motion.

After all, they were elders, and it didn't seem quite right for them to be apologizing to someone younger by bowing.

Beichuan Si waved his hand and said, "Magong and I are simply friends, and this really wasn't too much for me. Please, there's no need for that."

Seeing Beichuan Si's response, Magong Zhen didn't insist and after glancing at Magong Tong and Beichuan Si, he spoke in a calm voice, "Beichuan and Tong are classmates... and I've also heard from Tong that you are not in need of financial resources..."

He pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Let me do this; I'll leave a private number for you, Beichuan. If there's ever anything I can help with, just call this number, and I will do everything in my power to assist. This is also a gesture of gratitude from the Magong Family."

Hearing this, Beichuan Si thoughtfully looked at Magong Tong.

Magong Tong knew he wasn't in need of money, so she had suggested to her father to 'replace money with a favor'.

And such a favor was exactly what Beichuan Si needed.

After all, a favor from a giant like the Magong Family couldn't be compared to a mere twenty million.

Seemingly catching Beichuan Si's gaze, Magong Tong touched her head somewhat sheepishly and then chuckled.

"...In that case, I'll gratefully accept the offer."

In this instance, there was no need to be unnecessarily modest; it was perfectly acceptable to accept the phone number with peace of mind.

After all, Magong Zhen was also the father of Magong Yongshi and Shenzhu Shihui.

Beichuan Si took out his private number and said, "Magong seems to be still unwell, probably due to something those illegal religious groups injected into her. Uncle Magong, Aunt Magong, I won't keep you any longer. You should take Magong to the hospital for a check-up."

Seeing how mature and sensible Beichuan Si was in dealing with people, Magong Xing spoke with a gentle gaze, "In that case, we'll visit with Tong another day. Regardless, we are still grateful to you for helping Tong escape danger."

"It's getting quite late now, and if Beichuan were to go home, it would indeed be very late. Let our family's driver give Beichuan a ride," Magong Zhen suggested from the side.

Beichuan Si checked his phone.

The time had already reached 7 p.m.

Traveling home by car would indeed take some time, and he would have to squeeze into the train with the crowd of commuters who had just finished work...

With this thought in mind, Beichuan Si did not hesitate:

"Then I'll take you up on that offer, Uncle Magong."

"Don't mention it."

Magong Zhen called the driver over and, after giving brief instructions, had him drive Beichuan Si away.

After a short exchange of pleasantries, Magong Zhen and Magong Xing saw Beichuan Si off.

Once Beichuan Si had completely disappeared into the flow of cars and people, Magong Zhen turned his head, "Tong, you go to the hospital for a check-up first. I'll arrange a leave of absence from school for you, so don't worry about attendance."

Hearing this from her father, Magong Tong tensed up.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke, "Dad... if possible, I still want to attend school as usual tomorrow..."

Upon hearing her words, Magong Zhen felt a surge of surprise.

He had always known very well the kind of person his daughter was.

Magong Tong had always been timid and weak, inheriting neither his astuteness in dealing with people nor Magong Xing's gentle strength.

Regarding the arrangements made by him and Magong Xing, Magong Tong had always readily agreed, never having her own thoughts.

The fact that she wanted to work a part-time job a while ago was already beyond his expectations.

Now, that she was once again voicing her own requests...

Before Magong Zhen could reply, Magong Xing, with a warm smile, spoke, "Even if you want to go to school, we'll have to wait for the check-up results first. If those illegal organizations have injected you with something problematic, your health must come first, right? Tong."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Magong Tong opened her mouth and then nodded her head.

Magong Xing was right; she shouldn't stubbornly go to school in poor health.

Magong Tong got into the car, led by their family driver.

Only Magong Xing and Magong Zhen remained.

They still had things to ask the police, so they didn't accompany her.

Watching the car disappear into the traffic and crowd, Magong Zhen couldn't help but speak, "Tong... has really changed a lot."

She had become decisive and developed her own ideas.
