00:00Fifteen years ago, a powerful businessman, out of pure kindness, bought a pair of shoes for a poor boy on
00:06the street,
00:06never imagining that this small gesture would one day bring him help in his darkest moment.
00:11Fifteen years later, the man was bankrupt and penniless.
00:14He barely managed to gather enough money for his wife's surgery,
00:17but when he tried to pay at the hospital, the nurse coldly told him that he didn't have sufficient funds.
00:22He froze, remembering how just yesterday he had asked his adopted son to sell the house.
00:26At that moment, both his son and adopted daughter appeared.
00:30Thinking they had come to help, he asked about the money from the sale, but the son arrogantly confessed he
00:35had kept it.
00:36When a man begged him to pay for the surgery, the daughter replied coldly that it wasn't worth spending so
00:41much on someone who was already going to die.
00:43The son added that he intended to keep all the money.
00:45The man called them ungrateful, but his son blamed him for adopting them,
00:49saying that if it weren't for his so-called false kindness,
00:52perhaps he and his sister might have been adopted by a much wealthier family.
00:55At that moment, his wife appeared and witnessed the cruelty of their children.
01:00The man's anger and heartbreak made his health worsen, and regret began to overwhelm him.
01:05But his wife's surgery could not wait.
01:07Desperate, he went to the people he had once helped and begged them to return the money.
01:11They all denied it, saying they would only repay if he had written contracts.
01:14Furious, he overturned the table in anger, but in return, they beat him and demanded that he kneel and beg
01:20if he wanted anything back.
01:21Thinking of his wife's life on the line, he had no choice but to kneel, only to be further mocked,
01:27humiliated, and thrown out.
01:29Just then, he received a call from the hospital.
01:31His wife's condition was worsening, and she needed surgery within 24 hours, or her life would be in danger.
01:37Helpless, he saw a news article on his phone.
01:39The country's largest company was holding a charity gala the next day.
01:43What he didn't know was that the president of that company was the very same boy he had helped 15
01:47years earlier.
01:48Inspired by the businessman's words back then, the boy had worked tirelessly, built a vast empire, and returned to the
01:54country searching for his benefactor,
01:56unaware that the man he sought was right outside his building.
01:59Without an appointment, however, there was no way to see him.
02:02Meanwhile, the businessman's so-called best friend also wanted to partner with the president.
02:06But on his way, he received a call from the secretary asking if he knew of a friend who had
02:10gone bankrupt.
02:11He hesitated for a moment and said nothing, leaving the secretary disappointed.
02:15This silence made others suspect that the president was secretly searching for his adoptive father.
02:20Some claimed that the man had made many enemies, and perhaps the president was among them.
02:25Seizing the moment, the adopted son came up with a malicious plan.
02:28He suggested they could teach the old man a lesson to get closer to the president.
02:32He approached the businessman, pretending to care, and listened to his desperate plea for money to save his wife.
02:37Pulling out a wad of cash, the friend dangled it in front of him.
02:41Overjoyed, the man reached for it, but the friend cruelly threw the money into the air, mocking him in front
02:47of everyone.
02:47He then told his son to bring the president, thinking this would win him favor.
02:51But he didn't know he was about to pay dearly for his cruelty.
02:54At that very moment, the president learned that his benefactor was downstairs and rushed out anxiously to see him.
03:00Meanwhile, the others still believed everything was going according to plan.
03:03They went down to continue humiliating the man, raising their hands to strike him, just as the president arrived in
03:10time.
