Half an hour later.

Murong Wanwan and Liu Ying, who had been tinkering in the kitchen for a long time, finally cheered and came out carrying the dark, oh no, the carefully prepared lunch! Meanwhile, Ye Xuan's stomach started hurting again. He felt like his nightmare was about to begin.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, overthinking it... Little Ying is so pretty and smart, even if what she made doesn't look great, it must taste good! It definitely must be like that..."

Ye Xuan kept reassuring himself in his mind because Liu Ying had given him a death order. Unable to resist, he held on to a sliver of hope.

After placing the lunch on the dining table, Ye Xuan picked up his chopsticks and, under the eager gaze of the two women, cautiously took a bite!

And then...

Ye Xuan's tragic nightmare finally arrived! The little bit of hope he had was crushed to nothing.

Indeed, the more beautiful a woman is, the less edible the food she makes!

Is this for eating? My gosh, this stuff could kill someone! He wondered if he could survive until tomorrow if he ate it all? It's like hell-level dark cuisine...

Ye Xuan wanted to cry but had no tears!

But at this moment, under the women's watchful eyes, he could only grit his teeth, with the determination of facing death on the battlefield, to eliminate this soul-crushing 'delicacy'! And he had to pretend it tasted good.

Otherwise, if these two women got upset and brought him another 'delicacy', he would really want to die!

Ultimately, Ye Xuan didn't even know how he finished it. In short, this lunch was a disaster, terribly sour and stimulating! So sour and stimulating that it felt like his soul was going to ascend to heaven, leaving him feeling lightheaded and wobbly when he walked.

The moment he put down his bowl, Ye Xuan swore silently in his heart that he would never let these two women near the kitchen again. Even if there was a hint of it, he had to nip it in the bud! Otherwise, he'd be tormented to death by them sooner or later!

After lunch, Ye Xuan rested on the sofa for a while and ate some fruit before he felt a little better.

Once the two women finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen, Ye Xuan went back to his room to pick up his phone and prepare to book three tickets back to East Sea.

The reason he came to Shangjing was to crash Wang's wedding, and now that Liu Ying had been rescued and the Wu Family had formed an alliance with the Feng Family, the crisis here was resolved! There's no need to stay any longer, especially since there are still matters in East Sea waiting for him to handle!

But just then, an unexpected visitor changed Ye Xuan's plans.

The visitor was none other than Wei Xiaosu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time!

The last time Wei Xiaosu came to Shangjing with Lin Tong and others, she was supposed to provide support, but on the day Ye Xuan went to crash the wedding at Wang Family, she suddenly left due to urgent matters, and they hadn't met since.

It was only at this moment that she appeared in front of Ye Xuan, so since he came to Shangjing, it was the first time seeing her. He immediately warmly invited her into the house.

However, to Ye Xuan's surprise, Wei Xiaosu's current state was clearly off!

Her face was pale, and her overall demeanor was poor, appearing somewhat absent-minded. It seemed like she had been through some kind of setback, leaving him puzzled.

"Brother Xuan, are you feeling better?"

Seeing Ye Xuan, Wei Xiaosu perked up a bit, forcing a slight smile, and asked softly.

"I'm alright,"

Ye Xuan replied and then carefully examined Wei Xiaosu. Seeing her weary appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "Little Susu, are you sick or has something happened? Why do you look so bad?"

"Brother Xuan, I'm fine... It's just that my grandfather isn't going to make it!"

Wei Xiaosu's face turned somewhat gloomy, and her eyes showed a hint of sadness.

What?

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was shocked and quickly said, "Your grandfather isn't going to make it? How can this be? Wasn't he doing well not too long ago? How did it suddenly get this bad?"

The last time he and Lu Miaochan visited Shangjing, they went to Wei Xiaosu's home and met her grandfather. At that time, the old man seemed healthy, with no sign of anything wrong. How could it be that in just a month, he's not going to make it? It doesn't make sense!

"I don't know either, my grandfather's health was always good, but it suddenly declined, and now it's not going to make it."

Wei Xiaosu shook her head, pursing her lips as she spoke.

Ye Xuan frowned and said, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier? With such a big issue with Wei Grandpa, I should have gone to see him earlier!"

"Well, I wanted to inform you earlier, but Grandpa wouldn't let me! He said life and death are destined, and wealth is decided by heaven; blessings and misfortunes are all a part of life! Who doesn't face birth, aging, sickness, and death? Since his time has come, and heaven is calling him, we should abide by heavenly decree, or we would be going against it and bringing misfortune to later generations... Moreover, he said he was tired after being busy all his life, and he wanted to rest early and see my grandma on the other side…"

As Wei Xiaosu spoke, her eyes began to turn red, and there was a hint of reluctance in her gaze.

It was obvious from her words that the old man had lost all will to live and was only seeking death!

Hearing this, Ye Xuan fell silent. Initially, upon hearing that the old man was critically ill, he was prepared to go over. With his medical skills, it shouldn't have been an issue to cure the old man.

But for someone who has no desire to live, no matter how skilled he is medically, how can he save them?

He can heal the body, but he cannot heal the heart! The old man had dedicated his life to the country and now felt tired and wished to rest.

"Little Susu, did you come to me because there's something you need me to do?"

After a while, Ye Xuan sighed slightly and asked Wei Xiaosu.

"Yes, Brother Xuan, I came because my grandfather wanted to see you one last time; he has some things he wants to tell you."

Wei Xiaosu wiped her eyes and said softly to Ye Xuan.

"Alright, I understand. I'll go with you right away." Ye Xuan nodded immediately.

"Okay, let's set off now."

Wei Xiaosu said and then, along with Ye Xuan, left the villa.

Before leaving, Ye Xuan let Liu Ying and Lin Tong know that he had some matters to attend to and would book the tickets later.

Then, the two of them got into Wei Xiaosu's Hummer and headed quickly towards the military compound where the Wei Family was located.

An hour later.

The two arrived at the location of the 21st Army Group and at the gates of the Wei Family compound.

Without any delay, after getting out of the car, Wei Xiaosu led Ye Xuan into the house and hurried to Wei Bangguo's room.

Soon, they arrived outside the room door, pushed it open, and walked in.
