Ye Qingcheng's health deteriorated day by day, and he needed to rely on medication to barely maintain his health.

He had already undergone examinations at the hospital earlier and knew that apart from waiting for a bone marrow match, he could only undergo chemotherapy and recuperate in the hospital. This serious illness came suddenly and fiercely. If he hadn't suddenly felt unwell and gone to the hospital with the employees of Ye's company for a physical examination, Ye Qingcheng wouldn't have even known that he had a serious illness.

Ye Qingcheng fell ill, and the Ye Group was facing a major choice, possibly a critical moment of transformation. The company's senior management and other shareholders all had ulterior motives. While Ye Qingcheng was around, harmony could be maintained. If he suddenly had to take a break, he would definitely be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives.

Ye Qingcheng could not completely get rid of his work. He had tried his best to delegate and rest, but the various problems at work still prevented him from resting in peace. He could only take one step at a time, think of countermeasures in advance, and try new treatment methods. He could only take it one day at a time.

In the end, Ye Qingcheng could only hope that the research project of the research institute would work miracles for him.

The research institute where Li Lizhang works has been dedicated to cancer treatment. Over the years, Li Lizhang has hoped to make new breakthroughs in cancer treatment, but his ideas are still conservative and he tends to favor drug chemotherapy. When Jiang Jianian mentioned chip technology, Li Lizhang, who had participated in several projects, was not so confident.

Ye Qingcheng refused to take a long time to recuperate. He learned about the project from Jiang Jianian and realized that chip therapy was more based on cell immunotherapy and did not require much time. He directly proposed to invest in the project and even participate in clinical trials. Ye Qingcheng was indeed taking a risk and did not take his own body seriously. However, Li Lizhang had no choice but to bite the bullet and carefully cooperate with Jiang Jianian.

Zheng Xuekai was temporarily delayed today due to an overseas seminar, so Ye Qingcheng's first blood test was temporarily completed by Jiang Jianian and Li Lizhang.

Before drawing blood from Ye Qingcheng, Li Lizhang also checked Ye Qingcheng's physical condition. The situation was very bad. The abnormal white blood cell count in his bone marrow was increasing very rapidly, and it was about to affect other parts of his body. Li Lizhang knew that Ye Qingcheng was aware of his own condition. He smiled and joked, but he was actually feeling bad inside.

After the blood test, while Ye Qingcheng was recuperating, Li Lizhang asked Jiang Jianian, "Xiao Jiang, will this method help him get better?"

“No.” Jiang Jianian answered bluntly: “This treatment has many drawbacks, and currently, more knowledge is available to suppress the body’s deterioration. The best way for him now is to wait for a bone marrow match, buy time, and continue participating in the experimental project before the bone marrow becomes diseased again.”

This was Jiang Jianian's answer: try to buy as much time as possible, give treatment more opportunities, and prolong Ye Qingcheng's lifespan.

Li Lizhang frowned. "What is this old bastard thinking? His body is in this state and he's still thinking about making money all day long. He's willing to risk his life for money? Or... should we find a chance to tell Zhiwei? We can't persuade him, but Zhiwei might be able to."

This is the worst part: Ye Qingcheng doesn't want Ye Zhiwei to know about this. He wants to keep it from her, just like he always keeps any decision he makes from his daughter under the guise of doing it for her own good.

Jiang Jianian glanced at Ye Qingcheng. He felt that Ye Qingcheng was testing the limits of angering Ye Zhiwei. After telling Ye Qingcheng about the follow-up treatment and its principles, he reminded Ye Qingcheng, "It's not a good thing for you to keep this from Ye Zhiwei. Instead of not telling her anything and treating her like a child, you should have a proper discussion with her."

Ye Qingcheng laughed and said, "She's just a child. How can I discuss things with her? I have my own plans. Besides, rather than being unable to do anything in the hospital and being tossed around while watching the company get into a mess, it's better to arrange things at the company first, and leave the rest to fate."

Jiang Jianian never liked interfering with Ye Qingcheng's ideas. He didn't try to persuade Ye Qingcheng. After giving Ye Qingcheng a few pointers, Ye Qingcheng smiled and dodged the question. Jiang Jianian then stopped offering any opinions.

During his visit to the research institute, Ye Qingcheng closed his eyes to rest and relax, while Jiang Jianian and Li Lizhang spent the next period of time testing the leukemia cells in Ye Qingcheng's blood.

Next, Ye Qingcheng needs to go to the hospital for a blood test. After T cells are screened, they will be sent to the research center of the research institute for identification, reprogramming, and modification using chip technology. Various situations may occur during this process, and the cells need to be reintroduced into Ye Qingcheng's body in a short period of time. To prevent other problems from occurring in the blood during the process, this time needs to be as short as possible.

This technology is still in the experimental stage, and it is almost a clinical trial on Ye Qingcheng. Although there have been other experimental projects before, it is hard to guarantee that there will be many uncontrollable accidents in the process. It can only be said that this is a very risky project.

Because of this, Jiang Jianian had to travel back and forth very frequently. He never stayed in S City for a single night. He would often prepare breakfast for Ye Zhiwei and then set off, returning to the villa very late at night. Only when he saw Ye Zhiwei sleeping could he feel at ease.

Ye Zhiwei knew nothing about any of this. She didn't know what Jiang Jianian was busy with. At first, she guessed that Jiang Jianian was preparing a surprise for her and anxiously waited for Jiang Jianian to confess his feelings. Later, she gradually gave up the idea because she often couldn't even see Jiang Jianian. Now, she hasn't even seen Jiang Jianian.

No matter how early she got up, all she would see when she went downstairs was breakfast left in the lobby and a note telling her to eat lunch by herself, or even a phone call in the evening telling Ye Zhiwei to eat by herself first and not to wait for him to come back.

Ye Zhiwei could only sit alone on the sofa, eating the milk ice cream that Jiang Jianian had made in advance, watching TV out of boredom. She didn't like variety shows, but she was attracted to dating shows. Watching the male and female guests' feelings for each other and their sweet talk, Ye Zhiwei felt jealous and thought that if Jiang Jianian were here, he would definitely try to take advantage of her.

She hadn't seen Jiang Jianian for a long time. After munching on a huge tub of milk ice cream in revenge while holding her little ragdoll cat, Ye Zhiwei lay on the sofa waiting for Jiang Jianian and drifted off to sleep.

As she fell asleep on the sofa, Jiang Jianian had just returned to the villa from City S. It was already 1:30 a.m. The area outside the villa was pitch black, with only the streetlights casting a faint glow. Jiang Jianian stood alone in the darkness and opened the door. Upon entering, he found the villa brightly lit. Ye Zhiwei was curled up on the sofa, clutching a cushion, fast asleep. The little Ragdoll cat followed suit and huddled to the other side. The two cats, one big and one small, looked remarkably harmonious.
