RUMOURS RUN WILD (Completed)

Chapter 19

Gulf watched the history of his life flash past him, but for some unknown reason it was showing him and his dad Gulf dad, first he was carried by his dad to practice Kung fu, the actions like a monkey, then his dad got into position and threw a fist at Gulf, unprepared Gulf was punched and flew backwards, then Ron pulled Gulf up from the ground, threw an arm around his shoulder and started drinking beer. Gulf boldly drank a glass.

"Dad, it's not that I'm bragging to you, I saved a person's life, somebody's life!"

"Not bad, kiddo you're pretty resilient."

"No, not really," Gulf proudly clinked his glass against Gulf dad's, and emptied it in one shot. "The other person is very skilled."

"You're skilled too," Gulf dad smiled. "To live honourably and to die gloriously, not bad not bad, you've made the Kanawut family proud."

"Hehehe..." Gulf bashfully rubbed his head, the next second his eyes opened widely. "Wait wait wait wait, what living honourably and dying gloriously? Who the hell died?!"

Gulf dad gently caressed Gulf's head.

"Yes, silly child, you've- died!"

Gulf dad's exclamation had sprayed Gulf's face with saliva, Gulf leapt up from the bed in fright and got into the first position of Wang Ba Fist.

"Who the hell died!"

"..." Mew, sitting by the bedside, silently turned his head.

"..." The training nurse who was trying her best to flirt with Mew was shocked speechless.

"Great! Great! You're finally awake!"

A man in a black suit hurriedly came over and held onto Gulf's hands, looking at him emotionally, struggling to free his hands but failing to do so, Gulf could only smile at him.

"Heheh, heheh..."

"Regarding this lift incident we're very sorry about it, luckily you were not injured too badly, the lift fell to the 3rd floor before it was held up by the backup safety cable." The man was very sincere, his face apologetic, "We will compensate you 10 thousand dollars for this trauma, is that ok with you?"

Gulf heard the ring of a jackpot machine. 10 thousand! 10 thousand! This would not only cover his school fees for 4 years of college, but probably he could also screw in the presidential suite for 5 days! This was essentially earned with his blood! Gulf wished that he would experience another lift incident like this, another 10 thousand dollars there would be enough in his marriage fund. However, Gulf did not want to show that he was a materialistic poor person, he pretended to ignore the man who was smiling like a fortune cat, and crooked his finger towards Mew. Mew leaned over.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think 10 thousand dollars is worth it, should we ask for more? Is there a scam somewhere?"

"..." Mew thought for a moment and shook his head. "Not worth it."

"Eh why?" Gulf felt a little pleased, seemed like to Mew his life was of some value. "You mean we would get more if we sued them instead?"

"Since their lift had a problem, it clearly shows that there is an issue with their safety, this time we were lucky, but an investigation needs to be done." Mew was stern. "Even if the possibility of this happening is tiny, nearly minuscule, it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen again."

Gulf's eyes locked with Mew's, his voice a little hesitant.

"You mean... We would very likely win if we played the lottery, so we shouldn't bother about this 10 thousand?"
