Chapter 342 Ending Countdown 11
"Is there anything more important than your daughter?" Shang Zhancheng raised his hand from behind him, revealing a document wrapped in a blue folder. "I'm not letting you leave, but that's based on a doctor's most basic professional ethics. Take a look, huh?"
Siyi glanced quickly at Shang Zhancheng, "What does this mean? What is this?"
"Why don't you take a look and you'll see?" Shang Zhancheng was extremely patient, his handsome face gentle. He handed the documents in his hand to Siyi and sat down on the sofa with ease.
No one could know that at that moment, he felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind—
He knew he was about to lose this woman, but he dared not make any mistakes when Jiang Yan returned to her side. Left with no other choice, he had to resort to his trump card.
Ye Mengtian is her daughter, and now she is the only one to operate on. At least in the remaining four days, he has to find a way to keep Ye Siyi. The tragic thing is that he is now making a joke of his medical ethics!
What a sin!
But then he thought about it again, and realized that he was doing all this for his goddess Xia Ran, so it didn't matter. He would be able to see Xia Ran in four days, and then everything would be worth it!
This trade show exhibitor has such beautiful, flowing calligraphy! It really is flowing and elegant!
Siyi couldn't understand a few of the words at all; her head was spinning as soon as she opened them. In the end, she could only sit down and say, "Dr. Shang, just tell me clearly, what exactly is Tiantian's condition? Didn't you say that her previous illness was cured?"
"Her previous illness is cured. Now I want to talk to you about the reason why she can't speak." Shang Zhancheng coughed lightly and said in a pretentious tone, "I've seen some medical cases, and I think your daughter's condition isn't beyond saving..."
"Are you serious!" Before Shang Zhancheng could finish speaking, Siyi excitedly stood up, grabbed his wrist, and looked at him expectantly. "You're not lying to me, are you? Is it true? Tiantian... she can talk?"
Shang Zhancheng felt increasingly like a bastard at this moment. Ye Siyi looked so expectant. If he told her that this was just a "delaying tactic," would he be struck by lightning?
It's all Jiang Yan Hui's fault!
If he hadn't left himself with this dilemma, he wouldn't have gone against his own moral principles, insisting on not telling her that he already knew she was there, and not allowing her to leave...
Now that things have come to this, he naturally wouldn't expose himself. Since things were already like this, he had to bite the bullet and go for it. "Hehe, I'll try my best, but I still need your cooperation. I've only studied a few clinical cases, but I can't guarantee any effect." He left himself some room to maneuver, thinking that it would be easier to extricate himself later. "I want to discuss Ye Mengtian's specific situation with you in the next few days. She's your daughter, and I believe no one knows her better than you."
Upon hearing this, Siyi was overjoyed. Over the years, she had consulted many doctors for Tiantian, but they all said that it was a congenital defect and there was no way to cure it. Now, Shang Zhancheng suddenly told her that there was hope. She had long since put everything else aside and stopped talking about leaving. "Okay, I can tell you anything you want to know. If you can cure Tiantian, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."
Shang Zhancheng: "..."
For the first time, he realized what it meant to be trapped in one's own web. His smile was stiff, yet he still forced himself to go along with her words, pretending to smile naturally...
Jiang, Yan, return!
All my medical ethics and integrity built up over the years have been ruined by you in one fell swoop! When things get out of control, I will drag you down with me without hesitation!

City A.
The black car slowly drove into a narrow road, lined with lush trees on both sides. It was the end of spring, and everything had already come back to life, making everything seem vibrant.
Liu Qi, who was driving in front, observed the road conditions and realized that they would reach the cemetery if they went any further. He then turned to look at the man sitting in the back seat and said, "President Jiang, it seems we can't drive any further ahead."
Jiang Yan turned around with a calm expression, his handsome face seemingly expressionless, but his hands, unseen by anyone, were clenched into tight fists. He hadn't spoken a word, and Liu Qi, seeing that he remained silent, didn't dare to say anything more. They just sat there quietly, the car still running. The road was exceptionally quiet, and the low engine sound seemed quite abrupt at this moment.
"Wait for me in the car." After a long while, Jiang Yan finally spoke, her deep voice carrying a hint of gloom.
Liu Qi knew that his mood wasn't necessarily good; in fact, it was rather heavy, because the cemetery he had come to today didn't hold his relatives, but rather...
Actually, he didn't know much about the Jiang family's past before, but after following him for so many years, and with so many things happening recently, he could easily find out what had happened to the Jiang family in the past by doing some research.
"President Jiang, should we have a few people follow you..." Naturally, there were cars following behind him. Liu Qi was worried that something might happen if he went in alone, so he quickly asked Jiang Yanhui, who was about to bend down to leave.
"No need." Ordinary people can't even get close to him.
****
Sometimes, fate is truly the most ironic thing.
If God blinks in the clouds, how many insignificant humans on earth will have to pay a tremendous price?
He never imagined that one day he would come to this cemetery alone, where the person lying there was not his mother, but her mother!
Guan Fengying.
The name didn't actually have much impact on him, but when he stood in front of that tombstone, he still found it ridiculous.
He no longer had the energy to investigate the rights and wrongs of the past, but no matter what, it was because of her existence that his mother was so embarrassed and aggrieved back then.
Although he also agreed that he was disdainful of his mother's methods after learning about them, he still wanted to maintain the image of Lin Qianzhi that remained in his heart.
But standing in front of this woman's tombstone, can he still find excuses for his mother?
Her features are delicate, and she has a gentle smile, especially her eyes...
A faint smile, both self-deprecating and soft, slowly crept onto the cold, stiff corners of her mouth.
—Her eyes really do look a lot like hers.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that no matter how unwilling he was to come, when he actually stood in front of this woman's tombstone, when he saw her true face, when he looked into the eyes in that photo, he suddenly felt that she was actually very kind to him.
Of course, all of this was because of the woman in his heart.
He pulled up his trousers, slowly squatted down, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke. His deep voice, carried on the barely audible wind, seemed to soften considerably, "...You might not know me yet, so let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Yan Hui. I think you might feel more familiar with me after hearing my name. Speaking of which, we actually have a deep connection. Of course, I'm not here today to talk about the past... Since you are Sisi's biological mother, then to me, you are my elder, and I have no intention of offending you... Even if I admit that I had a lot of resentment towards you before, now, putting everything else aside, I'm just here to find something... If you are truly watching over Sisi from heaven, then this is also helping her, allowing me to find that thing here."
He stared intently at the woman in the photo, then stood up, walked around the tombstone, and sure enough, saw a tree behind it that was slightly taller than him.
—Yes, your grandfather did threaten me to marry your mother back then. I was very unhappy. I had a woman I liked, but I couldn't fight him... After I married your mother, I secretly collected evidence of his crimes.
—Your grandfather is a very cautious person. I have been collecting evidence for several years. It contains his previous business transaction records and a lot of huge income. If these are presented to the court, he could be imprisoned for ten years.
—I wasn't the one who swallowed that shipment from Southeast Asia. He was the one who was ultimately caught in the crossfire, but I know that while he knows, the people in Southeast Asia don't. I've kept quiet all these years, partly because I arrogantly assumed the people in Southeast Asia had given up looking for him, and partly because I wanted to use it to blackmail him.
—Those things are under a tree behind Guan Fengying's grave; I buried them many years ago.
.........
—Yan Hui, I know I'm not a good father. I know I've let you down. Actually, your mother and I have both let you down. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but thank you... All these years, you never gave up on me, even at the very end. I know that if it weren't for you protecting me, I wouldn't be alive today...
"You're wrong." Jiang Yan recalled the feelings he had when he coldly and ruthlessly uttered those last words in the hospital room just a few hours ago. "I'm not trying to protect you. I'm only here for that chip. It's very important to me right now. As for your life or death, I really don't care."
.........
Subconsciously clenching his hands at his sides, Jiang Yan raised his neck, looked up at the blue sky above, and slowly closed his deep eyes. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath, squatted down again, found a branch nearby, and began to dig hard into the soft soil...
