"It's Old Guo."
Seeing the other party, Jiang Yunshan also smiled and greeted him, "I just got back this morning and am about to head out."
"Are you going to..."
Guo Yanbo was about to say something when suddenly, he frowned, clutched his chest with one hand, and his facial expression began to twist in pain.
"What's wrong, Old Guo?"
Seeing this, Jiang Yunshan was instantly alarmed and hurried over to support him.
Jiang Zhi had just driven the car out of the underground garage. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly got out to check.
"It looks like a heart attack!"
Jiang Zhi had studied medicine before and immediately saw what was wrong with Guo Yanbo. He quickly began performing CPR and shouted, "Quick, call an ambulance to get here right away!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yunshan didn't hesitate and quickly pulled out his phone.
"There is no need for all that trouble. It's quite far from the hospital here. By the time the ambulance arrives, he probably won't make it."
Right at this moment, Qin Ning spoke up.
Hearing these words, Jiang Zhi immediately frowned.
What did he mean by 'no need for all that trouble'?
Were they just supposed to leave him be?
Regardless of what condition he would be in when the ambulance arrived, they at least had to call them over, right?
Moreover, he knew Guo Yanbo's identity. This was the father of the provincial top leader. If something really happened to him here, their Jiang family might get implicated.
Qin Ning paid no attention to what Jiang Zhi was thinking. He walked over to Guo Yanbo, then directly took out an elixir pill and fed it to him.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhi wanted to speak up and stop him. After all, randomly giving medicine to someone having a heart attack could cause serious problems, and no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
But before Jiang Zhi could speak, Jiang Yunshan stopped him from the side, gently shaking his head to signal him not to step forward and interfere.
"Grandpa, what are you..."
Jiang Zhi frowned, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw Guo Yanbo on the ground suddenly wake up and regain consciousness.
Not only that, but the man was actually able to stand straight up.
And what was most unbelievable to Jiang Zhi was that at this moment, Elder Guo was actually becoming noticeably younger right in front of his eyes.
Not only had his hair returned to black, but the wrinkles on his face had also disappeared, as if he had suddenly regressed to around forty years old.
How was this possible?
Such a scene left Jiang Zhi completely dumbfounded on the spot.
This included Jiang Yunshan as well.
He knew that Qin Ning's capabilities were beyond what common sense could imagine.
But he never expected that with just one pill, not only did Guo Yanbo wake up, but his body and appearance underwent such earth-shattering changes.
If not seen with one's own eyes, who would dare to believe that such a thing could be true?
"Am I..."
Elder Guo could naturally feel the changes in his own body as well. He felt much lighter overall, as if he had returned to his youth.
However, he couldn't see the changes that had occurred to his face and hair, nor did he understand why he had suddenly woken up.
"Bumping into me today can be considered your destiny."
Qin Ning smiled faintly and didn't say much else. After leaving just this one sentence, he directly got into the car and said to Jiang Zhi and Jiang Yunshan, "Let's go. It's time to go look at the raw stones."
"Uh... yes... alright!"
The grandfather and grandson finally recovered from their shock.
"Lao Jiang..."
Elder Guo seemed to want to ask something else.
But Jiang Yunshan didn't dare to delay Qin Ning's time. He just said, "Old Guo, don't ask for now. You'll know once you go back and look in the mirror. Remember, do not casually reveal what happened today. If you have any questions, wait until I get back."
After leaving behind these words, Jiang Yunshan pulled Jiang Zhi into the car.
Jiang Zhi drove away. At this moment, his heart was still filled with shock, finding it extremely unbelievable.
Because what had just happened in front of the villa had completely and utterly overturned his worldview.
He glanced at Qin Ning in the rearview mirror and finally understood why his grandfather would show such immense respect to such a young man, and even take him as his master.
Initially, Jiang Zhi suspected that his grandfather might have met a charlatan over in Liu City and been scammed.
But now it seemed that it was nothing like what he had thought.
"Um... Grandmaster..." he couldn't help but speak, wanting to ask something.
Jiang Yunshan quickly interrupted, "Brat, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Just focus on driving your car."
"Uh... oh, okay Grandpa." Jiang Zhi was helpless and obediently shut his mouth.
"Grandmaster... that jade pendant..."
But less than a minute later, he couldn't hold back again. He felt an unbearable itch in his heart, feeling that he had to ask clearly about certain things.
"That is a type of protective amulet."
Qin Ning smiled faintly, and then briefly explained the functions of the protective amulet to him.
After listening, Jiang Zhi was completely dumbfounded, feeling it was simply unbelievable.
It could block bullets? It could ward off all kinds of disasters?
Apart from absolute laws of truth, was there nothing left in this world that could threaten him?
How was that possible?
Wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?
But when he thought of what had just happened to Guo Yanbo, Jiang Zhi suddenly felt that everything seemed perfectly reasonable.
...
In the afternoon.
The three of them, led by Qin Ning, finally returned to the mountaintop villa.
On this trip, he reaped a rich harvest from the Jiang family's pile of raw stones. In addition to obtaining quite a few jades that could be refined into protective amulets, he also found over a dozen raw stones that could all be refined and used as spirit stones.
At the entrance of the villa, Guo Yanbo had gone back in the morning, looked in the mirror, and seen the changes in his appearance.
He was deeply shocked and knew that he had met a true expert.
That was why he had been waiting here all along.
At this moment, seeing Qin Ning and the other two get out of the car, he hurriedly went up to greet them.
"Lao Jiang, Xiao Zhi, and this..."
He greeted them with a face full of smiles, but when his gaze landed on Qin Ning, he didn't know how to address him.
"Elder Guo, this is my Grandmaster, which means he is my grandfather's master. You can just call him Young Master Qin," Jiang Zhi said.
Hearing this, Guo Yanbo nodded seriously, then looked at Qin Ning, bowed deeply, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Young Master Qin, for saving me today. I have already had people prepare a meal, I wonder if..."
Qin Ning shrugged indifferently, glanced at Jiang Yunshan and his grandson, and then said, "Then let's go over and eat together."
"Ah, excellent, Young Master Qin, please follow me."
Hearing this, Guo Yanbo was overjoyed. He led the way, welcoming Qin Ning and the other two towards his own home.
The Guo family and the Jiang family were not far apart; they were practically right across from each other.
Leading Qin Ning and the other two into the villa, Guo Yanbo immediately ordered people to arrange for the food to be served on the table.
"Dad."
Just as everyone was about to start eating, they saw a middle-aged man jogging in from outside the door.
Guo Zhengwen, who had not been in Guangning City for the past two days, suddenly received a call from Guo Yanbo in the morning. After learning the general situation, he had hurried back.
