Although everything seems normal on the surface, it's at its last gasp, thinner than paper, and will break at the slightest touch.

The doctor prescribed a lot of medicine, and the group left the hospital only after receiving the medicine.

On the way back, both cars were unusually silent, with almost no one making a sound.

Upon arriving at the gate of the elite division, Commander Gu Beiwang saw his elderly father off the car before getting back in and rushing back to the military headquarters.

No matter how busy you are, how can you not have any time at all?

It was only because Commander Gu needed to go back and report this matter to his superiors that he was asking for leave on behalf of the old man, so that if anything big or small happened later, those superiors wouldn't come looking for the old man.

The doctor said that the old man needs to rest and shouldn't worry too much, mainly to avoid too much emotional fluctuation in him.

Besides asking for leave for the old man, I also had to call his younger brother and sister who were still in Kyoto, as I couldn't hide the old man's condition from them.

However, when Aunt Gu received the call, she clearly did not believe it: "Brother, is this fake? Dad's physical examination was done at our hospital, and there were no problems."

Gu Beiwang's face darkened: "Have you personally examined the old man? Yes, you are the dean, you are busy, and as long as you ask, there are plenty of doctors under you who will help run errands."

But how do you know exactly how the staff examined the old man? Or whether the examination was thorough enough? Even city hospitals have liver and kidney function tests; surely the prestigious Kyoto PLA Hospital has them too?

"As the hospital director and daughter, why didn't you ever think to get your own father this checkup?"

Gu Beiwang was genuinely angry. He had been holding it in for the past two days, but after receiving a definitive answer at the city hospital today, his heart sank.

That's her younger sister, the old man's own daughter, the eldest daughter of the Gu family who's been pampered since childhood. How could she not even think of something like this? In the end, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. She gives more care to her in-laws, while her own father only comes when he needs something, and doesn't even come back to see her unless he needs to.

If... if this younger sister had paid a little more attention to the old man in the past two years and discovered these problems earlier, the old man's health wouldn't be in this state now!

The person on the other end of the phone was speechless for a moment.

In the end, Commander Gu hung up the phone with great composure and continued calling his younger brother in Kyoto.

Fortunately, the old man's two sons both cared for him very much. Even his second daughter-in-law, Gu Ziling's biological mother, treated him with the same filial piety as a daughter would show to her own father. Compared to her, he was much better than his sister-in-law.

The couple wanted to come over immediately as soon as they heard the news, and no amount of persuasion could stop them. So, naturally, they stopped trying to dissuade them. Since things had come to this point, they decided to treat it as a formal meeting.

It seems the old man won't be able to keep it a secret for much longer.

Sigh, Commander Gu is actually quite exhausted...

At this moment, Ye Wanying had no idea that the other two big shots from the Gu family were also coming, and they had actually all arrived.

The old man was a little tired, so he asked the guard to help him back home to rest. Gu Ziling and Gu Yujin went with him. The elders had their concerns, but the younger generation also had their own ideas.

Back home, even the little dumpling sat obediently between Ye Wanying and Gao Dan, with the Gu brothers sitting opposite them.

"Do you have any ideas? If we're going to have the surgery, does everyone agree?" Gu Ziling asked first.

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads: "No way!" Gu Yujin shouted directly.
