When Jiang Man called Tianjin earlier, Uncle Tian had already woken up, and Jiang Man said that his condition was not serious.
But now two days have passed, and Uncle Tian is still lying in the hospital bed, which means that his condition is much more serious than I imagined.
Jiang Tianyi's secretary sighed: "You are about to meet Mr. Jiang. This kind of thing can't be kept secret... His condition is quite serious, so when you talk to him later, you must pay attention to your attitude. Mr. Jiang really can't take any more trouble."
When I heard the secretary say that, I couldn't help but feel nervous: "Is Uncle Tian's condition life-threatening?"
"As it stands, it's not as serious as you say."
The secretary paused for a moment: "You know how much he dotes on the young lady, and you should be able to guess why he didn't let her see him today."
After hearing what the secretary said, I couldn't help but feel guilty.
If I hadn't brought Jiang Man with me when we went to the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, Uncle Tian would never have ended up like this.
The shuttle bus passed through the manor and finally stopped in front of the clinic building.
This detached villa is where the Jiang family's private doctor works. It is said that there is a medical team inside, including two foreigners. His work is usually very leisurely, and he basically only serves the Jiang family father and daughter.
When I entered the ward, Jiang Tianyi was receiving an IV drip.
This trip to the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace took us less than a month, but Jiang Tianyi seemed to have aged ten years.
Not only did a large patch of white hair appear on his head, but his cheeks were also swollen, making him look quite haggard.
Seeing Jiang Tianyi like this, my guilt deepened: "Uncle Tian, I'm back."
"Yes, come and sit down."
At this moment, Jiang Tianyi was no longer the spirited man he once was. He simply greeted me weakly, saying, "I was worried that Xiaoman would be sad if she saw me like this, so I had no choice but to go along with it and put her under house arrest."
“Uncle Tian, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me. I failed to understand the situation before reporting it to you. If I hadn’t caused you so much distress, perhaps we wouldn’t have encountered so much trouble.”
I bowed to Jiang Tianyi and said, "Uncle Tian, I'm sorry I didn't take good care of Jiang Man this time and made you worry."
"Don't say that. It's a blessing in disguise that Xiaoman came back alive. As long as the outcome is good, let's not dwell on the hardships and setbacks along the way."
Jiang Tianyi gave a kind smile: "I already know what happened in the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace. You risked your life to save Xiaoman at the critical moment. For that alone, I won't blame you! Everyone in this world is an independent individual. I feel sorry for Xiaoman because I am her father. I have no reason to expect others to do the same."
Hearing Jiang Tianyi say this, I felt a little relieved: "Uncle Tian, if something unexpected happens at Miao Jiang Immortal Palace this time, and Jiang Man really gets into trouble, will you still be able to talk to me so calmly?"
"I don't know, but judging from how angry I was at the time, you are very likely no longer alive."
Jiang Tian paused for a moment: "Killing you would definitely make me regret it, but if Xiaoman is gone, I'm afraid no one in this world could keep me calm."
Hearing Jiang Tianyi's answer, I smiled: "Your thinking is still so clear. It seems your illness is not as serious as I thought."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my situation is much more optimistic than you think! After my old injury relapsed, I was injected with the latest type of medicine on the market. Its side effect is that it causes severe edema, which will subside in about a week. That's why I don't let Xiaoman see me."
Hearing this, I was completely relieved: "On the way back, I already told Xiaoman that from now on, she will no longer participate in any activities related to tomb raiding and will stay away from this dangerous industry."
"Even if you don't tell me, I will make a decision about this."
Jiang Tian nodded: "I only have this one precious daughter, and I will never let her take such a risk again! I can't ruin her life because of temporary pampering. Tomb raiding is just too risky; even one mistake could have unimaginable consequences."
Be careful, I've been thinking about these things these past two days, not just Xiaoman, but you too! Duan Xiuying is the woman I love most in my life. Although we don't have any children, you are his nephew. Even for the sake of the Duan family, I have an obligation to protect you!
Although Duan Jinyan has been heartless and ungrateful to you, you are not an unwanted child; you still have me, your uncle! Therefore, I have already considered this and will assemble a professional team to deal with Duan Jinyan. As for you, you should no longer get involved in these grudges.”
“Uncle Tian, I appreciate your kindness, but I have no choice but to do this for Duan Jinyan.”
I was deeply moved by Jiang Tianyi's words, but I didn't hesitate at all when it came to Duan Jinyan: "Uncle Tian, I appreciate your kindness, but I absolutely cannot back down from this matter! You're looking for someone to seek revenge on Duan Jinyan because of your hatred, but I'm looking for him because of our grudge! Our grudge can't be easily settled just because he died at the hands of someone."
"Fine, I also harbor hatred for Duan Jinyan, and I know what it's like to be tormented by such emotions."
After listening to my words, Jiang Tianyi did not continue to reduce his holdings: "Since you insist on taking revenge yourself, Tianxia Group will do everything in its power to help you. Intelligence, money, manpower, resources, connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles—as long as you need it, I will do everything in my power to support you!"
After my trip to the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace, I was heartbroken by Duan Jinyan. But hearing Jiang Tianyi's response now warmed my heart: "Uncle Tian, I will never forget your kindness!"
“Duan Jinyan is not only your enemy, but also my opponent. And hatred is something that cannot be measured by any standard. I am old and my health is deteriorating. I can no longer take revenge myself. If you can succeed, it will put my mind at ease.”
Jiang Tianyi shook his head: "For me, money is nothing to cherish anymore, but you have to risk your life. All things considered, I'm still the one who benefited from this cooperation! What are your thoughts on the next steps?"
I said with a somber look in my eyes, "Our losses on this trip to the Miao Immortal Palace were too great! I plan to rest for a while and continue to search for Duan Jinyan's whereabouts. Next time we meet, I will make sure he doesn't escape from my grasp again!"
