This shows that we are destined to meet.

At first, Su Yang said he could delay the illness, but now it had directly changed to a complete cure.

Zhuang Changyun thought he had misheard. His breathing became a bit hurried as he said, "A complete cure?"

"Mhm, a complete cure."

"But Little Su, didn't you say before that you could only help me delay the symptoms?"

"Well, hehe, I actually said that on purpose earlier. I was afraid you'd be too surprised, so I just said I could only delay it."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yong, who was standing to the side, quickly stepped forward and asked, "Little Su, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"I wouldn't dare. Uncle Zhuang, just speak your mind."

"If it's a complete cure like you're saying now, then my dad..."

"Oh, I know what you want to say. Earlier I said eight to ten years, right?"

Zhuang Yong nodded, his face full of excitement.

Su Yang smiled and said, "With a complete cure, living another fifteen to twenty years won't be a big problem."

"Real...ly?"

"Really. But it's still too early to say all this; there's still a long time ahead. The specifics will depend on Grandpa Zhuang's own living condition in the future. If his condition is good, perhaps twenty years or even longer. If it's a bit worse, he can still live another fifteen years guaranteed."

"Phew." After hearing Su Yang finish, Zhuang Yong was now so excited that he couldn't speak.

Due to his excitement, his face was a bit flushed, and he kept taking deep breaths to adjust his emotions.

Zhuang Changyun on the bed wasn't much better off. Hearing that he could live for another ten to twenty years, he felt as if he had been given a new lease on life.

Even though he hadn't even drunk the medicine yet.

Just as the few of them were thrilled and excited, Old Liu walked briskly into the bedroom holding a bowl and a pair of scissors.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mengli stood up, quickly took the scissors, and cut a small notch in the bag. Then, she took the bowl from Old Liu's hands and poured all the medicine into it.

"Grandpa, the medicine is poured," Zhuang Mengli said, walking to the bedside with the medicine bowl.

Zhuang Yong reached out to support Zhuang Changyun's back, helping him sit up and lean against the headboard.

Looking at the medicine in Zhuang Mengli's hands, Zhuang Yong's heart beat wildly out of control. He felt that he had never been this excited and nervous in his entire life.

"Mengmeng, let me do it." Zhuang Yong took a deep breath and took the medicine bowl from Zhuang Mengli's hands.

Holding this bowl of medicine that could save his father's life, he suddenly felt a bit uncertain again.

He turned his head to look at the calmly standing Su Yang and asked, "Little Su, you..."

Su Yang knew what the other party wanted to say. He didn't speak, but just smiled faintly and shot Zhuang Yong a reassuring look.

Seeing this look, Zhuang Yong stopped hesitating. He turned his head, supporting Zhuang Changyun with one hand and holding the bowl with the other, and said, "Dad, drink the medicine."

"Alright!" Although Zhuang Changyun didn't know Su Yang well, ever since Su Yang took his pulse, he hadn't had a single trace of doubt about this matter in his heart.

Looking at the medicine being handed to him, he wanted to reach out and take it himself, but his hands were weak and he truly couldn't lift them.

"Dad, I'll feed you. Don't move."

"Okay." Zhuang Changyun agreed, opened his mouth, and drank the entire bowl of medicine in one breath.

At this moment, Zhuang Mengli, Guan Tianya, and Old Liu, who were standing by the bed, didn't say a word. They just quietly watched Zhuang Changyun's reaction.

After drinking the medicine, Zhuang Changyun exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at Su Yang, and asked, "Little Su, you just said that after drinking this medicine, my body will feel very hot and restless, right?"

"Yes, and there will be a reaction immediately."

"So fast?"

Just as Zhuang Changyun's voice fell, he suddenly felt his stomach start to become incredibly hot.

The traditional Chinese medicine he had drunk churned in his stomach like scorching magma.

"Hiss!" Zhuang Changyun couldn't hold back and let out a painful sound.

"What's wrong, Dad? Are you okay?"

Zhuang Changyun gritted his teeth tightly, shook his head, and squeezed out two words: "I'm fine!"

Then, he lowered his head and forcibly endured the pain within his body. After all, having been a soldier for decades, his willpower and endurance were very strong.

Everyone held their breath at this moment, staring at Zhuang Changyun from the side. Except for Su Yang, who didn't show much reaction.

"Grandpa Zhuang, hang in there. Once you get through these ten minutes, you'll be fine," Su Yang said slowly.

In just the span of a few breaths, fine sweat had already seeped out on Zhuang Changyun's forehead.

He didn't want to show his painful side in front of everyone, so he kept his head lowered.

"Su Yang... Didn't you say it would just be hot and restless? Why does my grandpa look so much in pain?" Zhuang Mengli asked, her face full of anxiety.

Su Yang said calmly, "What I said just now was 'very', so it definitely isn't an ordinary level of hotness."

Hearing this, Zhuang Mengli had nothing to say. She sat by the bed and nervously observed Zhuang Changyun's reaction.

At this time, Zhuang Changyun's body felt like a volcanic eruption. Especially in his stomach, there was not only a strong burning sensation but also some acid reflux and an urge to vomit. His chest also ached in tandem, and he felt extremely palpitating.

However, no matter how painful it was inside his body, apart from the groan he let out when these symptoms suddenly appeared, he didn't make another sound after that.

Seeing this, Su Yang nodded inwardly and praised, As expected of someone who has been a soldier, his endurance is truly beyond compare to ordinary people.

...

An unknown amount of time passed. A drop of sweat fell from the tip of Zhuang Changyun's nose onto the bed. Zhuang Mengli hurriedly picked up a tissue, wanting to wipe it for him.

However, Su Yang immediately stopped her, saying, "Don't move!"

"Ah? Wh... why?"

"Right now are the most crucial two minutes. No one should touch him."

"Oh, oh... okay."

Since Su Yang wouldn't let anyone wipe his sweat, Zhuang Changyun just kept his head bowed, remaining completely still, as sweat dripped onto the blanket drop after drop.

These short ten minutes felt as long as a lifetime to Zhuang Changyun.

Zhuang Yong had been calculating the time from the moment Zhuang Changyun started feeling pain. Now, the ten minutes were up, but Zhuang Changyun still had his head bowed and remained motionless. Seeing this situation, he quickly turned his head to look at Su Yang: "Little Su, the ten minutes are up!!"

"I know, don't rush. It'll be over soon." Su Yang tilted his head and stared at Zhuang Changyun.

"How much longer! My dad is already weak. I'm afraid if we wait any longer, he won't be able to hold on!"

"I know, but Grandpa Zhuang has already made it through. He is recovering now."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yong was taken aback. Then, he hurriedly turned to look at Zhuang Changyun. About ten seconds later, Zhuang Changyun moved.

First, he exhaled a breath of stale air. Then, he reached up, placed his hand on his somewhat stiff neck, and slowly raised his head.

As soon as he raised his head, everyone saw that his complexion was noticeably much rosier than before he drank the medicine.

Seeing this, Zhuang Mengli excitedly asked, "Grandpa!! How do you feel now?"

Zhuang Changyun didn't answer immediately. He hadn't even opened his eyes yet. Only a few seconds later did he slowly open them.

He shook his head and exhaled again. "Phew, I... I feel like I've regained my energy. My hands, my hands have strength too!"

"That's right!" Zhuang Yong only then noticed that Zhuang Changyun's hand was still on his neck. Before, he struggled just to lift it, but now he could actually move it normally.

"Where is Little Su?" Zhuang Changyun turned his head, his face full of excitement, looking for Su Yang.

"I'm here, Grandpa Zhuang." Su Yang smiled and stepped forward.

"Good, good!! You... you are simply a divine doctor!! I... I can clearly feel that my current condition is so much better."

"Haha, that means the medicine is working. However, Grandpa Zhuang, although you have recovered a bit now, you still need plenty of rest. After you finish the medicine the day after tomorrow, you will be able to get out of bed and move around."

"Really??" Zhuang Changyun grabbed Su Yang's hands, his face full of excitement.

"Absolutely."

"Good, good, good. Little Su, you... I really don't know how to thank you, I..."

"Hey, Grandpa Zhuang, please don't get too excited. Lie down first. There is no need for any thanks. You and my grandpa are such good friends, so isn't it only right for me to help you? It just goes to show that we were fated to meet."

"Little Su, say no more. You are not only my father's lifesaver, but you are also a great benefactor to our Zhuang family!" Zhuang Yong finally snapped out of his daze of excitement, shock, and a whirlwind of other emotions.

He looked at Su Yang and said solemnly, "I make this promise to you right here and now! From this day forward, if you or the Su family ever need anything, no matter the task, the time, or the place, as long as you say the word, I will not hesitate to use all of my strength and the full power of the Zhuang family to help you. Even if you want my very life, it is yours!!"
