Chapter 314 Hanging by a Thread or Living to a Hundred Years



The old lady shook her head. "I can't tell."

Qiao Rong's face immediately turned pale. "I'll take you back to see her."

The old lady glanced at Qiao Rong. "Looking for a long time won't help. If you can't tell, you just can't tell."

Qiao Rong wanted to say, "Aren't you supposed to be very capable?" but she was afraid the old lady would just walk away. "Didn't you see anything at all?"

The old lady thought for a moment. "His appearance is very strange."

Qiao Rong's complexion improved. "What's so strange about it?"

"It seems like my life hangs by a thread."

Just as Qiao Rong's lips curled up in a smile, the old lady continued, "It also seems like she can live to be a hundred years old."

Qiao Rong's lips froze. After a while, she asked, "How could this happen?"

“I don’t know. However,” the old lady said, looking at Qiao Luo, “considering how many years you’ve supported me, I advise you to accept your fate. Even I can’t figure out what’s wrong with him, so if you try to take action against him, it probably won’t end well.”

"No!" Qiao Rong said through gritted teeth, "I was the one who got pregnant first. My son is clearly the eldest grandson. Just because Wang Yingxue was in poor health and had a premature birth, my son went from being the eldest grandson to the second grandson."

The old lady glanced at Qiao Rong. "Does your family have a title to inherit?"

Qiao Rong said resentfully, "Although we don't have a title now, we have connections. My son was born just one day after Feng Yixuan. Just one day. But every time the old man goes out to meet friends, he takes Feng Yixuan with him. The old lady is always talking about her eldest grandson. The old man's main foundation is in the military. As soon as Feng Yixuan came of age, the old man got him into the military. I also wanted my son to join the military, but the old man insisted that my son's personality wasn't suitable for the military. Tell me, how can I not be angry?"

There was one more thing Qiao Rong didn't mention: she originally wanted to marry Feng Yixuan's father.

Qiao Rong glanced in the direction of Feng Yixuan's ward. "If you hadn't said he was born with a short lifespan, I would have gotten rid of him long ago."

The old lady squinted at Qiao Rong and said, "Are you blaming me?"

"I..." Qiao Rong thought to herself: Who else is to blame but you? Children are so easy to deal with. Now that Feng Yixuan is so grown up, it won't be as easy to get rid of him quietly as it was when he was a child. "That's not what I meant. I'm just furious. I've waited so long. In the end, he not only survived the life-or-death ordeal, but he's also become someone even you can't see through."

The old lady knew what Qiao Rong was thinking. But finding someone else willing and able to support her wouldn't be easy. "It's precisely because she can't see through things that I advised you not to act rashly."

"I'm not resigned to this. Is there really no other way?"

The old woman nodded. "I still don't know if he's a human, a ghost, or a demon."

Qiao Rong thought for a moment. "Why don't you just treat him like a demon?"

“Not all demons are the same. The methods for dealing with different demons are also different. I don’t even know if he’s a demon, so how am I supposed to deal with him?”

"This...it's infuriating! Yesterday, their deputy division commander called his dad and said he had died, but when we arrived, he was alive again. It's infuriating!"

"Getting angry won't help. Alright. Let's go back."

Although Qiao Rong was angry, she was always cautious in her actions. "I told them I brought you to see a doctor."

"I'm not sick. I don't want to see a doctor."

"Wang Yingxue has definitely been staying at the hospital these past few days. I have to come and check on that little brat occasionally. What if she asks me which doctor I took you to see? I'll have to make something up. What if Wang Yingxue runs into the doctor I made up, and then the two of them start talking about it, and I'll be exposed?"

"Hurry up. I have things to do back home."

"Um."

The head nurse of the military hospital's husband used to be Grandpa Feng's bodyguard. Now, during holidays, the head nurse and her husband would visit Grandpa Feng's home.

The head nurse came out from behind her desk as soon as she saw Qiao Rong. "Sister Qiao, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Feng Yixuan used an alias in the army. The head nurse knew that a platoon of soldiers had been wounded during a mission. The platoon leader was the most seriously injured. Everyone thought he had died, but he recovered. However, the head nurse didn't know that the wounded platoon leader was Feng Yixuan.

Qiao Rong used the same excuse she had given Wang Yingxue.

After listening to her, the head nurse asked the old lady where she felt unwell.

The old lady casually mentioned that she couldn't sleep.

After listening to their story, the head nurse recommended a doctor to them.

Qiao Rong took the old lady to see a doctor. The doctor prescribed some medicine for the old lady.

After leaving the hospital, the old lady looked at the medicine Qiao Rong was carrying. Feeling it was unlucky to bring the medicine home, she told Qiao Rong to throw it away.

On the other side, Feng Zhenguo also knew why Feng Yixuan and the others had all been injured.

It turned out that when Feng Yixuan and his class returned from a mission, they encountered several people. Finding their behavior suspicious, Feng Yixuan and his men followed them. After discovering they were indeed suspicious, Feng Yixuan decided to capture them. However, just as they made their move, reinforcements arrived. In the end, although they managed to capture them all, they were all injured.

After listening, Feng Zhenguo analyzed for Feng Yixuan why everyone had been injured this time. After the analysis, Feng Zhenguo taught Feng Yixuan how to capture the enemy while minimizing casualties.

On the other side, as soon as Deputy Division Commander He got home from work at noon, he asked his wife, "Is the food ready? If it is, go and deliver it."

"It's done. Go deliver it, I have something else to do."

"I can't go."

"Why? Don't you and Feng Zhenguo have a good relationship?"

Deputy Division Commander He recounted the events of yesterday from beginning to end. "If I go there, the couple will definitely remember that I hit their son."

Deputy Division Commander He's wife came out of the kitchen. "Why didn't you sleep in the middle of the night last night? You could have just stepped away when you saw him open his eyes, why did you hit him?"

"I didn't have time to think about that at the time. Go and bring them their food."

"Okay. Do you think Commander Han's wife will be reluctant to give away the ginseng he has at home to the soldiers?"

I don't know if his wife is willing to give him up. But I do know that he's firmly in his position as division commander.

Deputy Division Commander He's wife packed all the food into a basket. "Do you think he knew Wang Yi was Old Feng's grandson, which is why he brought out the ginseng from his house?"

"Probably not. He was just transferred here not long ago. Wang Yi is just a squad leader now. It's impossible for him to notice him so quickly."

As Deputy Division Commander He's wife walked towards the door, she said, "That's not necessarily true. Don't you remember? He was living at the base every day a while ago."

Deputy Division Commander He was stunned after hearing this.

Meanwhile, back home, the old lady pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out what was going on with Feng Yixuan. Not only could she not figure it out, but she also discovered something that made her very uneasy.
