I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 267 Old Deng Diagnosed! Alzheimer's!

Hospital ward.

Zheng Jiawei's eyes were red, and he was lying on the edge of the bed, crying his heart out.

At this point, Su Cheng was certain that Zheng Guotao had passed away.

Upon seeing Su Cheng, Zheng Jiawei choked back tears and grabbed his hand, saying, "Brother Cheng... Uncle... I don't have a father anymore..."

Jiawei's mother died when he was young. Later, Zheng Guotao found him a stepmother, but a few years later Zheng Guotao fell ill, and his stepmother ran away without hesitation.

His biological mother is gone, his stepmother ran away, and now Zheng Guotao has also suddenly passed away.

Zheng Jiawei has no blood relatives left in this world.

Su Cheng and Su Tianyan did their best to comfort Zheng Jiawei.

Su Cheng tried his best to appear grief-stricken, but in reality, he was not as sad as he seemed.

Especially with the old man present, Su Cheng couldn't show any joy.

Objectively speaking, this is a very good thing for Zheng Jiawei.

There is an old saying that goes like this.

To be too old to die is to be a thief.

At this moment, Su Cheng had only one thought in her mind: Jiawei is finally free!
He's so envious of Zheng Jiawei!
Su Cheng secretly glanced at her father.

"Jiawei, this happened so suddenly, don't be too sad."

"You've done what you were supposed to do; everyone has to do this once."

"Let's take your dad home first."

Zheng Jiawei wiped away his tears and silently nodded to do as he was told.

That's their tradition here; they'd rather die at home.

If the patient is in critical condition in the hospital, notify the family to take them home immediately.

Unfortunately, Zheng Guotao died too quickly; there was no time for him to die.

With the help of a nurse, the three people lifted the person onto a mobile bed, and then took an elevator to lift him onto a car.

Just to be on the safe side, Su Cheng drove the Baojun with Zheng Guotao in it, while Zheng Jiawei drove Ye Li's car with Lao Deng in it.

The main concern was that Zheng Jiawei might suddenly lose control of his emotions while driving the Baojun carrying the body, potentially causing a traffic accident.

"Jiawei, just follow behind my car from now on."

"Ah."

Their destination was Zheng Jiawei's hometown. Su Cheng deliberately kept the car speed very low on the road, so that Zheng Jiawei would follow slowly behind.

He had originally planned to return to Jingzhou tomorrow, but Zheng Guotao's unexpected incident forced him to postpone it for a few more days.

These past few days, the Su family father and son have been helping Zheng Jiawei with Zheng Guotao's funeral arrangements.

Han Yu didn't help, but he came and gave a gift of money. He was alone; his wife, Fu Zihan, and Zang Feilong didn't come.

Su Tianyan, as an elder, presided over a series of traditional burial ceremonies in Yuzhou.

However, Su Tianyan's mind was not on this; rather, he did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

During this time, Su Tianyan kept observing Su Cheng's emotions and reactions, and also had the expert team collect and analyze Su Cheng's expressions, actions and emotions to corroborate their previous verification.

The final conclusion was that Su Cheng was a very filial child.

Birds of a feather flock together.

The fact that Su Cheng chose Zheng Jiawei as a friend shows that he himself is not bad either, which is enough to prove that Su Cheng has a filial heart.

Second.

Su Cheng was dedicated and responsible throughout the entire funeral, and she was deeply saddened.

The expert team analyzed that it might be because he was thinking about Su Tianyan's eventual death that it touched a nerve with the brat.

After all the ceremonies were over.

Su Cheng then handed over the supermarket plan he had prepared to Zheng Jiawei.

Since it wasn't a business order from Shengyue, Su Cheng didn't bother with those complicated formats and simply wrote down the key points clearly and concisely.

If Zheng Jiawei follows the steps one by one, he will be able to make a down payment on a house and buy a new car within three years.

This is the key he gave Zheng Jiawei to turn his life around and become rich.

"Call me if you don't understand anything."

After receiving the document on WeChat, Zheng Jiawei was taken aback for a moment.

They've been very busy these past few days, with Su Cheng and Su Tianyan putting in a lot of effort to help him with his father's funeral arrangements.

He didn't know how to thank Su Cheng, but unexpectedly Su Cheng gave him another big gift, helping him with business strategies.

"Hey, no need to thank me. We're practically family. Just do your job well, it's no big deal."

"Don't dwell too much on this sadness. We all have to look forward and keep going. Aren't you going to marry your girlfriend?" Su Cheng said with a laugh, playfully punching Zheng Jiawei in the chest.

Zheng Jiawei was not as sad as others imagined.

If we're talking about sadness, the impact and shock he felt during the few hours it took to bring his father's body back to his hometown was far greater than the sudden death of his father.

The rest is simply a matter of following the proper procedures for the funeral.

At this moment, Zheng Jiawei no longer felt intense sadness.

After everything settled down, he even felt that the burden on his shoulders had been greatly reduced.
Zheng Jiawei knew he shouldn't think like that, but he could feel that sense of relief and liberation very clearly.

From now on, he will no longer have to wipe his father's excrement and urine.

He was finally able to install that very bright light bulb in the store.

Finally, I don't have to cook at home every day anymore.

I went out to eat with my brother and girlfriend without having to report to my father or be afraid of his scolding.

While feeling relieved, Zheng Jiawei also felt a lingering fear.

He was afraid that he would miss his father's nagging again in the future.

But... surely not?

forget about it!
He will listen to Su Cheng now and live his life well.

His girlfriend is waiting for him to marry her!
"Brother Cheng, I will do my best to follow your advice."

"By the way, Brother Cheng, I still have 40,000 yuan left. Let me transfer it to you first."

Zheng Jiawei was referring to the 50,000 yuan he borrowed from Su Cheng.

He was worried that his family wouldn't have enough money, so he borrowed some from Su Cheng in advance as a backup.

But he passed away soon after, and the family's savings were used to pay for his funeral.

"No need to rush to give it to me. Take this money first, consider it a loan to you as start-up capital. You can pay me back after you make money."

Zheng Jiawei was so moved that tears almost streamed down his face.

"Brother Cheng, please be my best man when I get married."

"Great! That's the best attitude you have!"

"Uh-huh!"

Return home in the evening.

Su Cheng moved all her things into the car, and the old man helped Su Cheng carry a few small bags.

When Su Cheng was about to return to Jingzhou, Su Tianyan advised again, "Why don't you leave tomorrow morning? If you stay with Dad for another night, who knows when you'll be back next time."

Three big question marks appeared on Su Cheng's face.

ha?
Su Cheng never dreamed that the old man could say such cheesy and sentimental things.

"Driving during the day is safer."

"It's okay. I'm more focused when driving at night. I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow, so I need to have a day to prepare before starting work."

"Okay then, drive carefully on the road, don't rush, call me when you arrive and tell me around what time you'll be there."

"It should be four or five o'clock by now, don't wait for me, you can go to sleep."

“Okay.” Su Cheng got into the driver’s seat and closed the car door. He noticed that Su Tianyan’s hands were trembling, and even his forearms were shaking.

What happened to your hand?

"hand?"

Su Tianyan looked down at his arm, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"It's nothing, just an old ailment."

"I've never seen you shake like this before, why don't you go get checked out?"

"It's okay, just go on your way."

Su Cheng didn't think much of it; he figured the old man was probably just putting on an act for him.

Since he thinks it's nothing, then it's fine.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Okay, let's go. Be careful on the road!"

Su Cheng rolled up the window and slowly drove the black Magotan away from the residential area.

As Su Tianyan watched Su Cheng walk away, he secretly pressed his index finger to his earlobe and whispered, "Attention all departments, that brat is on his way. Field team, follow him closely and keep a close watch."

Back to the operations command center.

Su Tianyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to drink egg custard anymore.

He even had a stomachache and felt nauseous from drinking so much these past two days.

Acting is exhausting.

It wasn't just Su Tianyan who felt relieved.

The expert team at the command center also breathed a sigh of relief.

They no longer needed to live in fear of being discovered by the young master.

"Hey, why didn't this kid get on the highway? Which way did he turn?"

Su Tianyan stared at the GPS location map on the big screen and realized that Su Cheng's route was wrong; it was in the opposite direction from the highway exit.

Others also noticed the problem of the wrong direction: "Mr. Su, perhaps the young master wants to turn onto the road first and then buy two roast chickens?"

Su Tianyan shook his head: "That's not right either. The road should lead east, but he's heading west right now."

"Mr. Su, it seems the young master went to his sister-in-law's grave?"

"Field team, field team, stop following us for now. Turn around at this intersection immediately. There's a parking lot 300 meters behind you. Go there and wait for orders."

Su Cheng didn't take the highway, but went directly to the cemetery.

The expert team unanimously agreed that Su Cheng missed her mother too much.

Strictly speaking, today is the anniversary of Tian Xiangwei's death.

However, according to their tradition, since it is very close to the Lunar New Year, it is combined with the Lunar New Year's Eve or the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Bai Zihua watched as the GPS location on the big screen stopped at the cemetery, and smiled as he approached Su Tianyan: "President Su, look how filial the young master is! He didn't forget to visit his mother before he left."

"You will not have to worry about your old age at all in the future, and you will not have to worry about the young master being unfilial to you."

Su Tianyan affirmed Bai Zihua's idea: "I think so too."

You can tell from Zheng Jiawei's father's funeral that the brat's grief was even more intense than Zheng Jiawei's, as if his own father had died.

Su Tianyan knew that it might be partly due to his good friend's sake, and there was some exaggeration involved, but it still made Su Tianyan feel very gratified.

"This brat is indeed very filial. He can empathize with Zheng Jiawei at other people's funerals. He also feels very sad when his good brother loses his father."

"But this kid can't be acting, can he?"

"If he was acting, then he was just trying to fool me with his feelings for the dead."

"That's very unethical!"

Upon hearing this, three small question marks appeared on Bai Zihua's forehead.

No.

Didn't Su Tianyan also kill people?

Moreover, it was her sister-in-law who had already passed away.

That was his ideal woman!
That's even more immoral, isn't it?

Even if Xiao Cheng took advantage of Zheng Guotao's death, it was something she learned from her father, Su Tianyan.

Bai Zihua quickly stepped forward to defend Su Cheng: "President Su, you must be overthinking it. The young master isn't that scheming; he's just being filial to you."

"Hmm, I don't think he would do that."

After saying that, Su Tianyan fell silent.

Bai Zihua inquired about the arrangements after Xiao Cheng returned to Jingzhou: "President Su, what are your plans for the future?"

Su Tianyan remained silent.

He wasn't silent, nor was he thinking; he was staring at his slightly trembling hands.

Su Tianyan wasn't faking illness or acting pitiful in front of Su Cheng.

Ever since he finished working that day, his hands have been inexplicably shaking.
He noticed it himself a few times, but sometimes he didn't even realize it when it started shaking.

Just like what happened just now.

It was Su Cheng who reminded him that he realized his hands were trembling.

When my hands are moving, the shaking is not too bad, but if I leave them still, the shaking will become more and more severe.

Su Tianyan forcibly pressed his trembling left hand down with his right hand for a few seconds, then released it to test the effect, and found that his left hand stopped trembling.

"Let's talk about this in a couple of days. Prepare a plane for me to return to Jingzhou immediately."

"I need to have a full physical examination first."

That night.

Accompanied by Bai Zihua, Su Tianyan returned to Jingzhou on a private plane.

After getting off the plane, the two went straight to the private hospital invested and built by Su Tianyan, which has the best, most professional and authoritative medical team in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Four hours later.

Su Tianyan completed all the examinations.

The medical team first gathered together for a discussion and consultation, and finally made a comprehensive assessment, giving an authoritative diagnosis with the lowest misdiagnosis rate.

Upon receiving the results, Bai Zihua's pupils constricted, and he felt a chill run down his spine for no apparent reason.

Bai Zihua immediately jogged to the ward, but just before pushing the door open, he immediately reduced his movements to the minimum.

Not long after Su Tianyan had undergone various biopsies, he could only lie weakly on the hospital bed, the anesthesia gradually wearing off, and the pain steadily increasing.

He opened half his eyes and looked at Bai Zihua: "How is it?"

"Mr. Su, no cancer cells were detected in any of your biopsies."

"My hands are shaking..."

"Mr. Su, after our medical team's diagnosis, we can confirm that your hand tremor is 'resting tremor'."

"This tremor usually occurs in the hands, feet, or jaw when relaxed, and the frequency is between 4 Hz and 7 Hz."

“Our doctors initially thought your hand tremors were caused by Parkinson’s disease, but after a thorough examination and consultation, they ruled out that possibility.”

Su Tianyan pressed, "What exactly is wrong with me?"

Bai Zihua sighed helplessly: "President Su, it has been confirmed that you have Alzheimer's disease."

Alzheimer's?
Su Tianyan was struck dumb upon hearing about the illness.

His pupils suddenly contracted, his face turned ashen, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.

The news struck him like an ice pick, his blood nearly freezing.

Bai Zihua's voice grew increasingly faint, gradually transforming into a sharp, booming sound...
