Only when a man truly holds power in his own hands can he dispel the clouds and become the supreme king! "

"You are so persistent, have you ever cared about his thoughts? Would he be willing to be manipulated by a father like you who is equivalent to nothing?"

Gu Jinchen narrowed his eagle eyes, and a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "He will listen to me."

Now that he has returned to Yongcheng, he has no say in anything.

The old man saw through his expression and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Jinchen said, "Dad, you are old now, so you don't have to worry about me and Gu Qishen anymore. You just need to believe that when it comes to protecting the Gu family, you and I have the same starting point."

"So, you and Xiao Zhenting have reached a consensus?"

Gu Jinchen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "With the strong backing of the Xiao family, no one in Country D can shake the Gu family, and Qi Shen will not be like me, wandering around without a fixed place to live."

"You...!" The old man was so angry that he staggered. The old butler ran over with a panicked look on his face to steady him: "Do you really want to put my grandson in such a dangerous situation? If he takes over XK, it means he will be an enemy of terrorist organizations all over the world. At the very least, he will lose his life. At worst, it's the lives of my entire Gu family!"

"Heh," Gu Jinchen chuckled, "Father, you still underestimate my XK's strength."

Gu Jinchen didn't think it was necessary to explain so much about this matter.

The only thing to do now is to cut off the relationship between Gu Qishen and Ye Jianan, and then successfully marry Xiao Yumo into the family.

……

After more than three hours' drive, Ye Jianan and Liefeng arrived at a hospice hospital in Mount Xiao.

The dean is currently showing the two of them around.

As soon as he entered, Liefeng was choked by an unpleasant smell and frowned.

He whispered in Ye Jianan's ear: "Why is this hospital different from what I imagined?"

There are six or seven beds in a room. Some patients are lying motionless on the beds. Only the heart rate monitor next to them makes a beeping sound, indicating that they are still alive.

Some were lying on their beds groaning and talking nonsense, and seemed to have completely lost the ability to take care of themselves.

The environment was terrible and the stench of urine was overwhelming.

There is a lonely patient in each bed, with no family members to take care of them. Only a few nurses come to check on the patients from time to time.

Ye Jianan and others appeared in the ward, and the patients who were conscious leaned over and looked at them with expectant eyes.

Maybe he is hoping that his long-missed relatives will show up.

At this time, there was a commotion in the next ward.

A nurse came out calmly and said to the director, "Old Liu was pronounced dead at 12:28. I will go find two people to help him put on his shroud."

The dean nodded as if nothing had happened, and immediately said to the assistant beside him, "Go and notify the family and send the person to the crematorium as soon as possible."

Things like this happen almost every day.

The family members send the person here and put the full responsibility of the hospital under its care.

Ye Jianan glanced around and asked, "Dean Zhou, I want to know how many patients a nurse is responsible for?"

Dean Zhou explained, "Well, due to limited funds, one nurse is responsible for two wards, with about a dozen people. She feeds them, washes them, and changes their diapers every day. Although there are a lot of people, as you can see, they have difficulty even getting out of bed, and they eat very little every day, so it is no problem for a nurse to be responsible for so many people."

Ye Jianan looked at the nurse who was busy helping Lao Liu deal with his funeral. After a moment of silence, he said, "People often have signs before they die. Didn't you notify the family to come and see them for the last time?"

Dean Zhou explained: "Generally, people will show unusual behavior two or three days before they die. At that time, we will call the family members to come and accompany them. However, many family members cannot stand the hospital environment. They may be reluctant to stay in such an environment for a long time, so..." He shook his head and curled his lips: "Most patients die alone at the last moment."

Lie Feng looked puzzled: "It's daytime now, with people coming and going. The nurses could have discovered Lao Liu's death, but what if it was at night?"

The dean was embarrassed when he heard this: "You know, nurses also need to rest. They are busy taking care of patients during the day. If they stay up late at night, then..."

Ye Jianan pondered for a moment and asked, "How many nurses are on duty on each floor every night?"

Dean Zhou said: "One."

"One is too few." Lie Feng was surprised, "So some people died all night and no one knew about it?"

"Maybe... there are such cases." The dean was somewhat helpless. "We can't help it. The conditions here are limited. We are short of manpower, but as you know, our monthly nursing fees are already very low compared to large hospitals. Therefore, we can only increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and save as much as possible."

Liefeng sighed, "There are mostly elderly people here. When they were young, they worried about their children all their lives, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would end up with such a hasty ending."

No one can be blamed for this. The fact that the children send them here for care has already surpassed many people.

It takes a lot of courage to overcome psychological barriers to stay in such an environment for a long time and take care of loved ones.

"Girl, I want to eat some steamed buns. Can you bring me some steamed buns?"

At this time, an old lady on the hospital bed stretched out a hand with a painful look on her face and shouted to Ye Jianan.

Ye Jianan quickly put away his sad mood and was about to go and help her find the steamed buns she wanted.

But he was stopped by the dean.

Ye Jianan looked at him in confusion.

The dean shook his head at her: "She can't eat steamed buns, she can only eat liquid food."

"Then she..." Ye Jianan swallowed hard, feeling helpless at this moment.

Even eating a steamed bun has become a luxury...

"She's already confused, maybe just these few days." The dean sighed helplessly, "I hope she can be a blessed person in the next life."

Ye Jianan took a deep breath and felt extremely uncomfortable.

Some of the people here are elderly, while others are terminally ill patients who have completely lost the ability to take care of themselves.

Most of the situations are very bad and they need to be fed even for basic meals.

Locked in this smelly space, in darkness, with no concept of time, I waited every minute for death to come.

Some of them had numb expressions and dull and lifeless eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Some were lying on their hospital beds, groaning in pain; the pain caused them to suffer physical and mental devastation and torture.
