"Did you hear that? Our family…"

Before Qin Qiumei could finish, she screamed in horror, "What did you say? Fired? How is that possible?"

Li Shanqi's hand slipped. His phone slammed to the ground, instantly shattering into countless pieces. A sharp fragment pierced his chin, and blood stained his face.

He cried out in agony, "Ah!"

Qin Qiumei shouted frantically, "Quick, to the hospital! Husband, stop standing there and help me!"

Li Yousu quickly helped Li Shanqi toward the door. However, as they reached the main entrance, a sudden, powerful gust of wind blew through. Like an enraged tornado, it viciously struck them. The front gate, which Chen Zheng had not closed in time, swayed in the wind and was blown shut.

With a loud bang, it smashed down on Li Shanqi's head.

"Ah!"

Li Shanqi's scream echoed through the air as waves of pain spread through his body. He was filled with despair, wishing he could end his tormented life immediately.

"Ah! Shanqi, I'm so sorry, it's my fault! Honey, come quick!"

The two of them hurriedly helped Li Shanqi into the car.

"Who parked their car here? Don't they know they're blocking the way? Husband, just ram it!" As Qin Qiumei was about to get in, she saw Chen Zheng's Lamborghini parked behind them, and a fire of pure rage ignited within her.

Li Yousu said nothing, just silently started the car.

At that moment, Li Shanqi glanced back and a tidal wave of fear surged through his heart. He shouted urgently, "Dad! Don't! It's… it's worth eighty million…"

The instant Li Yousu heard him, his concentration wavered, and his foot accidentally slammed down on the accelerator.

With a ROAR, the body of the Toyota Land Cruiser shot forward like a wild beast, smashing into the sturdy wall of Chen Zheng's house. The wall trembled under the powerful impact, and the front of the car was severely deformed, like a wounded behemoth.

"Ah!"

Li Shanqi's head struck the back of the front seat. His neck made a sickening cracking sound as his body was thrown forward by an invisible force. The immense pain caused him to faint instantly.

"Shanqi, Shanqi!" Qin Qiumei cried out in utter grief, her voice echoing like a desolate wind. "Li Yousu, you bastard, how could you drive like that!" she wailed. "My child! My child!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Li Yousu apologized, his heart pounding like a drum as he hurriedly shifted gears.

The car backed up slightly. He turned the steering wheel and moved forward a bit more. After repeating this three or four times, the car finally pulled out of the intersection and headed down the cement road toward another exit.

His mother watched the departing car and sighed softly, "It seems there's no escaping the fate that evil begets evil."

A sneer flickered across his father's stern face. "Hmph, they got what they deserved."

Chen Zheng was astounded by the miraculous effect of the Bad Luck Card. This thing is really something else!

However, he didn't realize that the card's power far exceeded his imagination.

When Li Shanqi arrived at the hospital, Qin Qiumei grabbed a gurney to make it easier to move him. But in her haste, she somehow got it backward. As luck would have it, a stone was jutting out of the path. The gurney's wheel caught on it, sending Li Shanqi tumbling to the ground. The heavy impact struck his already severely injured neck once more. This was just the beginning; a series of other misfortunes followed, making his situation utterly miserable.

Chen Zheng's eyes twinkled as he looked at the faintly glowing Cultivation Pill in his hand. This precious pill is perfect for strengthening my parents' bodies.

Just then, his mother walked into the room, her voice full of confusion. "Son, what on earth is going on? How could Li Shanqi be fired right after Qian Qian made one phone call?"

Liu Qianqian immediately explained, "Auntie, you might not know this, but Su Ming is actually the big boss of our Dahong Company. Even the chairman works for him."

His mother found this hard to believe. "Really? Qian Qian, you can't be pulling my leg. How could this kid be someone like that?"

Standing nearby, Chen Zheng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Mom, you have so little confidence in your son. Your son has a system, a cheat that lets him act like a big shot at a moment's notice. What's a mere company to him?

"Don't worry, Auntie, why would I ever lie to you?" Liu Qianqian said, struggling to stifle a laugh when she noticed Chen Zheng's expression.

"You're sure?" his mother asked, staring at Liu Qianqian with sharp eyes, as if trying to read the truth on her face.

"I can guarantee it!" Liu Qianqian smiled like a blooming sunflower, her eyes bright and pure, like mirrors that could reflect a person's very heart.

His mother finally let go of her doubts. Her gaze turned to Chen Zheng, and a wave of motherly love and pride surged from the depths of her heart. What parent doesn't hope for their child to achieve greatness?

"Was that car really worth eighty million?" his father's deep, powerful voice cut in. He had always been the silent man in this family.

"Of course!" Chen Zheng nodded.

"You prodigal son!" his father reprimanded with a frown. "Do you have any idea what you could do with eighty million? Can that plaything help you plow the fields?"

Chen Zheng could only smile awkwardly, knowing this was an undeniable truth. He quickly changed the subject. "Dad, our house needs major renovations. I'll transfer a million to you right away. From now on, you and Mom shouldn't work so hard. You can rent out the fields, too!"

"If you two want to live in the city, I have a place there. Of course, if you'd rather not live with me, I can have Qian Qian from Dahong personally pick out a different one for you."

"Alright, stop worrying about the house," his father said, shaking his head decisively. "We're not moving to the city. We don't have any relatives or friends there."

Hearing this, Chen Zheng didn't press the matter.

After returning home, the group chatted casually for a while longer. As for Li Shanqi, far away in the hospital, his situation was simply too dreadful to behold.

There was no helping it. The Bad Luck Card was valid for three days, during which he experienced some of the worst misfortunes imaginable. He was the type to break a leg just by walking or go into shock from drinking a glass of water.

All in all, in just three short days, Li Shanqi nearly suffered a complete mental breakdown.

Fortunately, after three days, everything returned to normal.
