"Impossible."

"impossible!"

This time, Ruan Wanyi and Zhan Lao spoke almost in unison.

Ruan Wanyi said, "Although I have never met Jingting's grandfather, the Zhan family's hereditary disease is incurable. How could he still be alive? If he were still alive, how could Jingting's father have died at the age of thirty!"

“Wanyi is right, Jingting’s grandfather has indeed passed away.” Old Master Zhan said, “Heaven has not blessed our Zhan family. The Zhan family’s hereditary disease has been passed down from generation to generation. We even hoped that a girl would be born, so that maybe a girl would not inherit this disease and end the Zhan family’s nightmare. It’s just a pity that generation after generation, including Jingting’s grandmother, both of her children were sons.”

"When Jingting was born, the Zhan family's hope of having a daughter was dashed once again. Jingting's father got married early, but he never dared to have a second child."

Ruan Wanyi nodded, "I dream of having a daughter, but I'm afraid. The Zhan family has only had sons for generations, without exception. If I have another child, it will most likely be a son too. How could I possibly bear that..."

Qiao Wanwan analyzed, "But according to Jing Ting's guess, Jiang Cheng is doing so much to serve the person behind him. If it weren't Jing Ting's grandfather, but an outsider, would Jiang Cheng be working so hard?"

“What Wanwan said is exactly what I wanted to say,” Zhan Jingting said. “Given Jiang Cheng’s loyalty to the Zhan family, he would never betray the Zhan family to serve outsiders. Even if he doesn’t consider his own interests, he has to consider his only son, Jiang Dong.”

“Yes, I really can’t believe Jiang Cheng would betray the Zhan family,” Ruan Wanyi said. “Jing Ting and Jiang Dong are the same age. When they were little, they hadn’t learned to swim yet. Once, the two of them accidentally fell into the water. There was no one around except Jiang Cheng. He jumped into the water and rescued Jing Ting first. Jiang Dong almost drowned. How could someone who loves Jing Ting more than his own son betray the Zhan family?”

“So Jingting’s guess is not unreasonable,” Qiao Wanwan said. “My master would never lie. If you don’t believe him, you can use a lie detector on him. He saw with his own eyes that the scar on that person’s arm was exactly the same as the one on Jingting’s grandfather’s arm. That can’t be a coincidence, right?”

“Wanwan, of course I believe your master’s words,” Ruan Wanyi said. “But the fact that Grandpa Jingting is still alive is too unbelievable.”

“After eliminating all possibilities, the least likely one is often the truth.” Qiao Wanwan looked at her. “Actually, I really hope that the person who took my master away was Jingting’s grandfather. At least it would prove that this hereditary disease is not a death sentence at thirty.”

Ruan Wanyi was delighted, "That's right, if Jingting's grandfather were still alive, that would really be a good thing!"

"Not necessarily." The voice of the Ghost Hand Doctor suddenly came from their ears, and the group turned around at the same time to see him walking over.

"Master, what you said might not mean?" Qiao Wanwan asked hurriedly.

"Madam Zhan said that it would be a good thing if Master Zhan's grandfather were still alive, but I don't think so."

“Miracle Doctor, what do you mean by that?” Ruan Wanyi disagreed. “Wanwan was right just now. If Jingting’s grandfather hadn’t died, it would mean that the Zhan family’s hereditary disease could be overcome, and Jingting would have a chance to continue living. Isn’t that a good thing?”

“There must be a reason why my master said that.” Qiao Wanwan helped the Ghost Hand Doctor sit down. “Master, please tell me slowly.”

The Ghost Hand Doctor slowly spoke, “As you all saw, Wanwan saved Eleven with her own blood, which shows that blood is the breakthrough in treating this kind of genetic disease. Although Wanwan is my apprentice, there are always people more capable than you. That person may have a very complete medical team, or he may have found a doctor who is even more skilled than us. When he captured me, he asked me if the blood of his closest relatives could cure his disease, which means that someone had already thought of blood transfusion as a treatment method.”

“At the time, I replied that I thought immediate family members could not receive blood transfusions directly, so this method was not feasible. He did not ask any further questions, but I found it very suspicious.”

“What’s suspicious?” Ruan Wanyi asked.

Qiao Wanwan explained, "My master meant that it's understandable for ordinary people not to know that immediate family members cannot receive blood transfusions, but doctors can't possibly be unaware of this. Since he has a medical team around him, he couldn't possibly be unaware of this, so there's no need to ask. Or rather, my master should be asked to solve this problem directly. There's no way there wouldn't be a follow-up."

"What Wanwan said is exactly what I meant," the Ghost Hand Doctor said with a smile. "Then Wanwan, continue to analyze why this matter has stalled."

“Either this matter doesn’t require your involvement, Master, or it’s impossible,” Qiao Wanwan analyzed. “With your abilities, Master, it’s impossible that you can’t overcome the problem of direct blood relatives not being able to receive blood transfusions. So there’s only one possibility: there’s no blood source. I’m talking about the source of the source, meaning there’s no one who can provide blood for him.”

“That’s right.” The Ghost Hand Doctor sighed. “But about five years ago, he suddenly asked me to study blood transfusions, saying that the surgery would be possible soon.”

“Five years ago…” Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously turned to look at Zhan Jingting.

Zhan Jingting also looked solemn. Their eyes met, and without needing to speak, they understood what the other was going to say.

“It’s my child…” Qiao Wanwan’s fingertips trembled. “I was pregnant at the time, and that person knew that I was carrying Jing Ting’s child. He wanted to use my child’s blood to save his life, which is why he asked Master to start researching blood transfusions!”

“Yes, everything makes sense when you put it all together.” The Ghost Hand Doctor looked at her. “That’s why I said that it might not be a good thing if someone from the Zhan family is still alive. He’s already willing to use the blood of his closest relatives to save himself.”

"As you all know, it's called saving lives, but it's actually exchanging lives for lives!"

Qiao Wanwan trembled, squeezed her eyes shut, and tears streamed down her face!

"Wanwan, don't be sad," the Ghost Hand Doctor comforted her. "Your two children have been born for so many years, and at least in these years, they haven't required me to have a blood transfusion."

"What if his medical team performs the surgery?" Ruan Wanyi asked anxiously.

The legendary doctor shook his head. "If he has already undergone a blood transfusion, his body shouldn't be completely unresponsive. I check his pulse every two weeks and haven't found anything wrong."

"Master, do you mean that even if he wanted to use my and Jingting's child to exchange for blood, he didn't succeed?" Qiao Wanwan asked anxiously. "But one child was taken by Wen Ru to be Wen Xue's child, and the other was sent to the Meng family to be saved and then taken away by Jiang Cheng. Since Jiang Cheng is his person, how could he not take the child to exchange for blood?"
