When the communicator suddenly rang, Yuan Tianping's hands shook and he almost threw the communicator away.
When he saw the unfamiliar number above, his intuition told him that this was his grandson's number.
Just like feeling homesick, Yuan Tianping suddenly felt a little hesitant as the relatives he had always wanted to see were right in front of him.
"Uncle Yuan, don't be afraid. Although Gao Han has a somewhat cold personality, he is a good person. If he really didn't care about us, he wouldn't have agreed to meet with you." Yuan Yuxian knew what he was worried about and immediately comforted him.
"If you don't answer the phone, he will hang up." Yuan Tiansheng said lightly.
Yuan Tianping's finger, which had been hesitating, immediately pressed down.
The speed was so fast that he didn't look like a patient at all.
The corner of Yuan Yuxian's mouth twitched. It turned out that the old ones were the most experienced. The one who knew Uncle Tianping best was Uncle Tiansheng.
The handsome figure of his grandson gradually took shape and appeared in front of him, with a handsome outline, slanted eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and deep facial features with a bit of Yuan Zhengrong's shadow.
Yuan Tianping opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. In his eyes there was only longing for the father and son.
In Gao Han's eyes, Yuan Tianping was unusually thin.
His facial features still show the handsome appearance he had in his youth, but he has been controlled by toxins in his body for many years and has absorbed nutrients, causing his cheeks to become sunken and his skull can be vaguely seen.
The loose clothes covered his body, somewhat unable to hold it up. Even though one couldn't see the body underneath, one could imagine what a skin and bones he was.
He has remained in this state for forty or fifty years. His perseverance is truly amazing.
Gao Han took a deep breath and suddenly felt a little admiration for this nominal grandfather.
From being a favored child of heaven to falling to earth overnight, the blow he endured is something that not everyone can withstand.
Perhaps it was just as Yuan Yuxian said, the reason why he had kept living and was unwilling to die was to see his grandson for the last time.
If he were his biological grandson, he would be very touched, but unfortunately, although this body is his, his soul is no longer.
"Are you my grandfather?" Gao Han spoke after he sorted out his thoughts.
The old man was slow to speak, probably because he suddenly didn't know how to start. He could still understand this feeling.
Yuan Tianping froze for a while before he slowly nodded and said excitedly, "Good boy, seeing that you have grown up so well, just like your father, grandpa has no regrets in his death. I believe your father's spirit in heaven will also be at peace."
"We can finally rest assured that his son has not only grown up, but also become such an outstanding person."
As if a switch had been turned on, Yuan Tianping suddenly became less shy and started talking incessantly.
Gao Han did not interrupt him and pretended to listen, without showing any impatience on his handsome face.
Yuan Tiansheng and Yuan Yuxian were both very pleased to see this scene, especially Yuan Tiansheng.
He had never talked to Gao Han in person, so he was unsure of his character. Even if he didn't get along with the Yuan family, it didn't mean he was easy to get close to. If he disrespected Tian Ping and spoke ill of him, it would be a severe blow to Tian Ping.
In the end, Libra will not only not blame him, but will also blame himself for his inability to teach him from a young age.
He was very satisfied with Gao Han's performance. It seemed that the genes of their group were top-notch.
The two men retreated to the door without disturbing the recognition and conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren.
Before Yuan Tianping was poisoned, he was a very talkative person, but decades of repression turned him into a taciturn person. Now he talks eloquently, which is somewhat like when he was younger.
It took an hour to get familiar with the prelude.
During this period, Gao Han also asked many questions about Yuan Zhengrong. The original owner's parents died when he was very young, so there was not much about Yuan Zhengrong in his memory.
As for Yuan Zhengrong, Yuan Tianping could not sleep for three days and three nights.
Although he was not able to accompany his son throughout his growth, he was involved in most of the things through his status as an uncle.
Just from this point, he can tell a lot about Yuan Zhengrong.
Time passed slowly, and as the sun was setting, Gao Han couldn't help but interrupt.
Yuan Tianping felt a little unsatisfied, but he wanted to keep more and tell him about it when he saw him later, so he held back.
The two talked about other things, such as his plan to go to the main disaster area.
"With the protection of Penglai University's instructors, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to the main disaster area this time, as long as you don't wander around."
"But the Tang family and the Yuan family will definitely not let go of this opportunity. In Yuan Zhengshan's eyes, you are one with us. If he dares to send people to kill you in the imperial capital, he will definitely do it in the main disaster area."
Gao Han nodded humbly, "I know, I will be careful."
Hearing his words, Yuan Tianping shook his head, "If you really stay near the tutor, they won't dare to do anything, but can you? You are my grandson, I think I still understand you, right?"
Gao Han was silent. He really had no intention of staying with his mentor. That was not his character. He wanted to face challenges head-on.
Yuan Yuxian also interjected, "Gao Han, just listen to your grandfather. You are his only grandson. If something happens to you, it will happen to him too."
This is not a threat, it is the truth.
Gao Han knew that she had no intention of threatening him, and that she was doing it for his own good, but he couldn't do it.
Compared with Yuan Yuxian's exhortation, Yuan Tianping seemed not to care about his current thoughts and continued.
"The Yuan family is just one of the threats, there is also the Tang family.
The Tang family knew that the Silver Lizard had fallen into the hands of Zhongli Tingzhou, but as far as I know, the Zhongli family did not make any move.
If they really knew the existence of the Silver Lizard, no matter how deeply they hid, they would not be able to escape being discovered.
This means that Zhongli Tingzhou did not tell his family about the Silver Essence Lizard. The Silver Essence Lizard should be in your hands now, right?"
Gao Han looked at him in surprise.
Yuan Tianping turned a blind eye and said, "I can guess this, and the head of the Tang family who knows the truth can definitely guess that those spiritual stone mines they lost in the disaster area must have been done by you, right?"
They may not think of it at first, but when they think about it carefully later, they will still suspect that it was you who did it.
The spirit stone mine is very important to the Tang family. The Tang family has developed well in recent years, but it is still far behind the Yuan family, Zhongli family and Sima family. If they get these spirit stone mines, they can at least cultivate a few Tang Yuxi.
Your actions have cut off their path. Those people from the Tang family must hate you to death. Even if there is no evidence, they will most likely find an opportunity to attack you once they reach the main disaster area."
He pointed out everything that Gao Han had been hiding, and she couldn't help but look up at him.
Yuan Tianping smiled, then couldn't help coughing a few times. There was blood on his open palm.
"Are you okay?" Gao Han had to admit that although what happened to his ancestors was a bit shameful, the Yuan family itself was a deformed existence and there was nothing to blame. However, Yuan Tianping really loved his children and grandchildren, and when he saw him coughing up blood, he couldn't help but show concern.
Yuan Tianping's eyes lit up slightly because of his words. What he was most worried about was that Gao Han would not recognize him.
She thought that his relationship with Shui Xinyu was immoral, and had been feeling uneasy for some time. That was the reason. Even though he agreed to the video call, she still couldn't let it go.
Now hearing his concern, Yuan Tianping felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as I can see you, no matter how big the problem is, it won't matter."
"I know that I didn't grow up with you and your father like other grandfathers did, but I still hope that when you go to the main disaster area, you won't go too deep. It's really dangerous there."
His expression became more and more serious.
Gao Han narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can't answer you with certainty, I can only tell you that I will try my best."
Yuan Tianping sighed inwardly, knowing that what he said was actually no different from a rejection, but he was unwilling to force him on their first meeting, "Okay, but I have a request, I hope you can agree to it."
"You say." Gao Han still said with reservation.
"Don't go looking for Ming Haifeng."
After these words were spoken, Gao Han couldn't help but look at him.
"Grandpa is serious. Your great grandfather will handle the matter of finding Ming Haifeng. No matter what you think, I hope that when you have this idea, you will immediately nip it in the bud." Yuan Tianping's expression was extremely serious.
Gao Han thought to himself, could it be that the blood relationship was really at work? After chatting with Yuan Tianping for so long, he actually had a vague idea that if there really was a chance, he might help find Ming Haifeng. He didn't expect Yuan Tianping's intuition to be so sharp, and he looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Don't look at me like that." Yuan Tianping said, "You are my grandson. I believe in you. Even if I have never met you before, I can probably guess what you are thinking."
Gao Han smiled bitterly in his heart. The influence of family affection and blood ties was really great. It would have been great if his family members in his previous life had not died.
In the end, before he agreed, Yuan Tianping fell ill, and in a short while, his whole body turned blue and purple.
Yuan Tiansheng and Yuan Yuxian, who were waiting on the side, were well prepared. They immediately stuffed something into his mouth, held his wrist and transferred spiritual energy into his body.
This process lasted for more than half an hour before Yuan Tianping's symptoms subsided.
Today was probably the day he had the most energy, but also the most tiring day, and now he had fallen asleep again.
Gao Han took a deep breath and asked, "Does Grandpa often do this?"
Yuan Tiansheng glanced at him, full of relief, "If he were awake now and heard you call him grandpa, he would definitely be very happy."
"As long as the stubborn toxins in the body are not eliminated, he will remain like this. The onset of the disease was earlier today, which may be related to his mood. Whether he is too happy or too sad, it will be triggered." Yuan Yuxian explained.
Gao Han said: "Then I think it's better for me not to call him grandpa too soon."
Yuan Tiansheng was stunned for a moment.
Yuan Yuxian chuckled in her heart. It was rare that Uncle Tiansheng was speechless. The appearance of Gao Han might really change a lot of things. She hoped that Uncle Tianping's situation would also turn around.
He glanced at Yuan Tianping, who was lying on the bed, motionless and pale.
Gao Han turned off the video.
