As he spoke, he straightened his posture and said in a solemn voice, "To speak frankly, it's my own greed at work here as well.
Yesterday, you mentioned that my remaining lifespan could only be extended by eighteen months. Originally, for someone who was already close to death, gaining an extra eighteen months of life was a blessing from the heavens! With such fortune, I truly shouldn't be greedy anymore.
But... but..."
Chen Yan smiled, "Eighteen months, not enough time?"
Liu Jianshan's expression was grave, "In theory, it's just barely enough—but it's not just that I'm personally too afraid of death; it's simply that the Liu Family is currently facing a crisis. Some solutions work in the short term, others in the long term.
The more time I have, the more stable the methods for resolving the crisis and dealing with it become, and the more losses can be recovered.
So..."
Chen Yan sighed upon hearing this, "Understood."
