"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one 'healing card'!"
"Congratulations, Host, for receiving ten times cashback, totaling two billion yuan (available for withdrawal at any time)."
Seeing the two rewards that appeared, Jiang Cheng's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but sit up abruptly in bed.
A shocked expression appeared on his usually calm face.
Because he never expected that this mission would grant him such rewards.
Of course, he wasn't shocked by the two billion yuan in funds.
It was the 'healing card' he had obtained once again.
The healing card he had obtained from Huang Yuqi a while ago had been used on Great-Grandfather.
In just over ten days, the physical feedback from him was very obvious.
One could say that this card was simply heaven-defying.
Jiang Cheng looked at the effects of the 'healing card'.
Its effects were exactly the same as the one used on Great-Grandfather.
He had originally thought he would have to wait a long time to get this kind of card again.
He hadn't expected to obtain it again today.
Looking at the card, Jiang Cheng could only mutter in his heart, "Sorry, Dad, next time it'll be your turn. Please bear with it a little longer."
Judging by age, Second Great-Grandfather indeed needed this card more than his own father.
Jiang Cheng had originally wanted to take a nap, but now he was completely energized.
He drove directly towards Great-Grandfather's Courtyard House.
When Jiang Cheng entered, he saw that there wasn't a single servant around the living room.
Only Great-Grandfather, Second Great-Grandfather, and a balding middle-aged man with his back to Jiang Cheng remained.
He saw his Great-Grandfather wearing a Zhongshan suit, half-reclining in the main seat of the living room, with a serious expression and majesty in his eyes.
With his legs crossed, he held a pipe, taking a puff every now and then and blowing out smoke rings.
Amidst the swirling smoke, he appeared even more mysterious and profound.
He was clearly listening to the other person's report.
Seeing Jiang Cheng enter, although Great-Grandfather said nothing, his gaze clearly softened.
He smiled at him and waved his hand, signaling Jiang Cheng to sit aside.
The middle-aged man in uniform glanced at Jiang Cheng.
Seeing that the two elders didn't speak and motioned for him to continue, he could only lower his head and keep reporting on his work.
Sitting to the side, Second Great-Grandfather wore a festive, loose Tang suit, with a gentle expression and kindness in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Cheng with a smile and waved for him to sit next to him.
After Jiang Cheng sat down, Jiang Chenghong didn't speak, but he immediately grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies from the table and handed them to Jiang Cheng with a beaming smile.
He motioned for him to take them and eat.
It felt very much like coaxing his own little grandson.
Jiang Cheng remembered that the first time he came, Great-Grandfather had prepared this for him.
The reason was that his father liked eating them.
Although Jiang Cheng didn't particularly like this kind of additive-free milk candy.
To make the two elders happy, he still said they were delicious.
From then on, whenever he came, both Great-Grandfather and Second Great-Grandfather would grab a handful of candy for him.
Seeing the doting look in Second Great-Grandfather's eyes, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, and he gave him a warm smile.
Then, he quietly used the 'healing card' in his hand on Second Great-Grandfather without making a sound.
"Ding! 'healing card' used successfully~"
[Special Note: The [healing card] will function through a gradual infiltration process...]
"Detected issues in the user's body: hypertension, rheumatism, allergic rhinitis, digestive system aging, pancreatic cancer, etc. The healing function is currently performing repairs."
After reading the system prompt, Jiang Cheng's heart tightened suddenly, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
When he checked Second Great-Grandfather's physical examination report last time...
Wasn't there only an issue with hypertension?
How could pancreatic cancer suddenly appear?
Could it have been missed during the regular check-ups?
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's brow furrowed even tighter.
Although he had already used the card on Second Great-Grandfather, Jiang Cheng still felt flustered and uneasy.
After calming his emotions, Jiang Cheng hurriedly took out his phone and began searching for relevant information on Baidu.
As the search results appeared, the expression on his face became increasingly grave.
It turned out that the disease Second Great-Grandfather suffered from was known as the "King of Cancers."
Early symptoms are very inconspicuous; many patients don't even feel any abnormalities or discomfort.
Even with examinations, it is difficult for doctors to detect the condition in its early stages.
Usually, this disease is only diagnosed in its late stages.
Not only that, it spreads extremely fast, posing significant difficulties for treatment.
Even with surgical intervention, the chances of a cure remain very low.
Looking at this alarming information, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but gasp.
He gripped his phone tightly, his palms sweating, his heart feeling incredibly heavy.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had just happened to obtain this 'healing card'.
Because of this card, he was able to stumble upon the truth about Second Great-Grandfather's physical condition.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, even with the card active on Second Great-Grandfather, Jiang Cheng couldn't relax.
After all, the search engine said this condition was extremely tricky.
After putting down his phone, Jiang Cheng's heart felt heavy, as if a large stone were weighing on it.
Looking at Second Great-Grandfather again, a sense of inexplicable unease welled up in his heart.
He scrutinized Second Great-Grandfather's face, trying to find some clues in his expression.
He didn't know if it was psychological or what, but although there was no obvious abnormality on Second Great-Grandfather's face, Jiang Cheng still felt his complexion looked a bit poor.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but wonder if Second Great-Grandfather truly didn't know he had this disease, or if he already knew and was intentionally hiding it.
Sensing Jiang Cheng's gaze on him...
Jiang Chenghong smiled and reached out, gently patting Jiang Cheng's shoulder, his eyes showing affection and concern.
Then, he took the White Rabbit milk candy from Jiang Cheng's hand, personally peeled off the wrapper, and motioned for Jiang Cheng to eat it.
Jiang Cheng took the candy, feeling a wave of warmth in his heart.
Although Jiang Chenggong wasn't his biological grandfather, Jiang Cheng could still feel his care and doting.
This made him even more worried about Second Great-Grandfather's health.
While chewing the candy, Jiang Cheng fell into deep thought.
He didn't understand why Second Great-Grandfather didn't have his own grandsons.
Logically, with Second Great-Grandfather's status and position, he should have long had many wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren.
After all, for men of that era, having multiple wives and concubines was a common occurrence.
And society had a high degree of tolerance for it.
But why was Second Great-Grandfather all alone?
