Great-Aunt

Hearing this, a look of joy immediately appeared on Shen Zhijian's face, and he hurriedly thanked Qin Ning over and over again.

In truth, he had only learned of Qin Ning's existence from Tang Zhengwei. Shen Zhijian had no idea what kind of methods Qin Ning actually possessed.

However, since Qin Ning was able to cure Tang Zhengwei's leg, he definitely had real skills.

His mother was in poor health and had reached a very dangerous state. Even after returning from the hospital last time, there had been no improvement.

Qin Ning was now Shen Zhijian's last hope. Regardless of whether he could cure her or not, as long as the other party agreed to make the trip, he would be extremely grateful.

Soon, after eating and drinking his fill, Qin Ning got into the car arranged by Xia Fei and drove all the way toward the village.

His cousin-uncle's family had only one daughter named Shen Lihua. She had just turned sixteen this year, was still in high school, and happened to be back on break for the past couple of days.

Not long after her mother gave birth to her in her early years, she left, went to the city, and remarried into another family.

Because she had to take care of her grandmother, Shen Lihua did not attend today's one-month-old baby banquet.

She had excellent grades, ranking in the top fifty in the entire town, but recently, Shen Lihua had gradually started to lose interest in her studies.

As the only daughter in the family, seeing her father Shen Zhijian working in the fields while also taking care of her ailing grandmother, she could not bear to let him work so hard all by himself. Thus, she developed the idea of entering society early, working hard to earn money to support the family and share her father's burden.

For this reason, when she came back on break a couple of days ago, she specifically went to find Tang Yuan, hoping to work in his chain stores.

Tang Yuan, of course, did not agree.

After all, at Shen Lihua's current age, studying was the only thing she should be doing.

Because of this, he simply gave Shen Lihua some money and told her not to worry about her family's affairs.

But the strong-willed Shen Lihua refused to accept it.

"Lihua, this is your cousin Qin Ning and your cousin Qin Fei," Shen Zhijian said as he led Qin Ning and the others into the house.

The house looked like a newly built two-story building from a few years ago, but the interior had not been renovated.

"Hello, cousin. Hello, cousin," Shen Lihua, who was taking care of her grandmother by the bed, greeted Qin Ning and Qin Fei politely.

On the way here, Qin Ning and Qin Fei had also heard a lot about Shen Lihua from Tang Yuan. They knew that this child was under immense psychological pressure because of these family matters.

Qin Ning glanced at Qin Fei. "You go out and have a good chat with her. Leave things here to me."

"Alright," Qin Fei nodded.

Soon, after the two of them left, Qin Ning walked over to his Great-Aunt's bed.

Tang Zhengwei and Shen Zhijian were also in the room, wanting to see exactly how Qin Ning was going to treat the illness.

Especially Shen Zhijian, who still did not know Qin Ning's specific background and merely assumed that the other party was a doctor.

After examining his Great-Aunt, Qin Ning spoke up, "It's bodily exhaustion caused by years of overwork. In layman's terms, she is getting old, and her internal organs are degenerating. This is irreversible in medical science."

Hearing this, Shen Zhijian's face turned grim. The last shred of hope in his heart seemed to be extinguished, and he suddenly looked much older.

"However..." Qin Ning smiled faintly, "That's a matter of medical science, which doesn't mean I can't do it."

"What do you mean?" Shen Zhijian was puzzled and looked at him curiously.

Could there still be hope?

But why couldn't he quite understand what Qin Ning meant?

What did he mean by that's a matter of medical science, which doesn't mean he can't do it?

Buzz!

Just as Shen Zhijian was feeling confused, he saw Qin Ning gently raise his hand and tap on his Great-Aunt's forehead.

Following that, his Great-Aunt, who had been in a deep sleep, slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

Not only that, but the wrinkles on her face seemed to have diminished significantly, and her head full of white hair turned black at this moment.

With such a scene happening right in front of him, Shen Zhijian was completely dumbfounded, his face full of shock.

What was going on? Was he dreaming?

At this time, Tang Zhengwei smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Xiao Ning's abilities are beyond what we can imagine."

"Zhijian, am I..."

The awakened Great-Aunt also looked a bit bewildered.

As she spoke, she noticed that her body seemed different from before. She felt much stronger, as if she had grown much younger. She got straight out of bed and took a few steps.

Seeing this, Shen Zhijian was both shocked and overjoyed.

He never expected that such a miraculous thing could actually happen in the world.

Clang!

Outside the door, Shen Lihua happened to walk in holding a teapot.

When she saw that her grandmother could actually get out of bed and walk on her own, and that her appearance had grown much younger, she was completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief.

Qin Ning smiled and took out three jade pendants from his pocket, giving one to his Great-Aunt, one to Shen Zhijian, and one to Shen Lihua.

"These are protective amulets. Keep them with you from now on; they will also prolong your life."

After leaving behind these words, Qin Ning walked out of the house and into the courtyard.

Seeing Qin Fei sitting there drinking tea, he asked, "Have you talked with our cousin?"

"We just had a brief chat. She was mostly worried about Great-Aunt's health, so I let her go inside to take a look just now. Now, there shouldn't be any problems. In the future, when she graduates, I can invest in her, or she can join our company if she wants. We can talk about it when the time comes," Qin Fei said.

At this time, Shen Lihua and the others also walked out, constantly expressing their gratitude.

"Remember to study hard."

Qin Fei reminded her, and then said goodbye to Great-Aunt and the others. "Great-Aunt, Dad, Uncle, we will be heading back first. Next time you are free, you can come visit Liu City for fun."

"Alright," Tang Zhengwei nodded in response.

Swoosh!

Then, under the shocked gazes of Shen Zhijian's family, Qin Ning directly took Qin Fei and soared into the sky, instantly disappearing without a trace.

"Uncle, Cousin he..."

It took a long time for Shen Lihua to react. She looked at Tang Zhengwei, seemingly wanting to ask something.

Tang Zhengwei smiled and said, "Your cousin is incredibly powerful. He cannot be viewed with worldly eyes. Don't overthink it. If there is a chance in the future, you will definitely learn about these things too. For now, just listen to Xiao Fei and study hard."

"Mhm." She nodded solemnly and earnestly.

...

Back in the town, Qin Ning brought Qin Fei back and found Su Xingwan and the others. After strolling around the commercial street together and taking a look at a few newly built factories nearby, Qin Ning finally brought everyone back to Liu City.

Inside the villa, Qin Ning was watching TV with Qin Fei and the others when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Elder Zeng. "Haha! A major breakthrough! Qin Ning! A huge breakthrough! Our research on controllable nuclear fusion is a success!"

"That fast?" Qin Ning was slightly taken aback.

"That is right. Thanks to your teleportation portal, a lot of equipment can be sent directly over from Planet Wei. However, we have already begun establishing an entire production chain of our own." Elder Zeng's excited voice came through the phone.
