I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Seeing Mingchuan staring at his arm without saying anything for a long time, Hong Li cautiously asked, "General Ming, how is it? Is my condition serious? Is there... no way to save me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present felt a pang of sadness, and they felt particularly bad for him.

Everyone's brows furrowed, not knowing what to say.

What is even more distressing is that Hong Li was afraid that Mingchuan would feel pressured, so he smiled and comforted Mingchuan.

"General Ming, don't worry. If it's too difficult and can't be cured, it doesn't matter. I've already started arranging my funeral. When I'm gone, there will be someone who can take over my work, and it won't affect the operation of the entire Guo family."

"I came here this time... out of a slightly selfish desire. I wanted to live for two more years, so I mustered up the courage to come and take a look..."

At the end of his words, the old man's voice gradually became lower.

Mingchuan looked up at him, feeling a little bitter.

This old man is too considerate of others.

Is it abnormal to want to live? Everyone wants to live, but he said that this was a selfish thought.

What else can he do while he is alive except continuing to work hard and contribute to his country?

If this can be called selfish, then what are the names of the many more people who are not willing to stand in the light called?

Mingchuan raised a helpless smile and said, "Mr. Hong, you look down on me a little bit, don't you? I have done so many earth-shattering things, but I can't cure your minor illness?"

As soon as Mingchuan said this, everyone around him breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were full of light when they looked at Mingchuan!

That feeling of anticipation completely enveloped Mingchuan, and he was about to drown in it!

Hong Li smiled excitedly, "Okay, okay... then... I'll trouble you, General Ming. But, I still say the same thing. If it really doesn't work, we won't force you. You should also save your energy for your own work. I... I'm an old man. If I die, I die!"

As if he was determined to give it his all, he extended his skinny arm a little further towards Mingchuan.

Mingchuan smiled and shook his head, his fingers touching his pulse.

as predicted.

The moment he leaned forward, he felt that the old man in front of him was about to die, and he might not even be able to survive for a day.

But there was an inexplicable force in his body that was supporting him, allowing him to still hold on and say a few words to Mingchuan.

This power is not the power of the medicine that the old man mentioned before...

More like, his own beliefs.

The old man was extremely weak at this time. It did not look like he was poisoned, but because Hong Li had been in contact with heavy industry for a long time, which had affected his body to some extent.

His body had always been a little weak. Some time ago, he came into contact with some hormones that caused violent collisions and turbulence in his body, which made him feel so uncomfortable now.

Mingchuan sighed.

Indeed, the old man's health is now very poor, and he is basically ready to give up.

He frowned and looked up at Hong Li.

Hong Li took a deep breath, held his breath, looked at Mingchuan's serious expression, and was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he cautiously asked Mingchuan, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Mingchuan asked: "How many years do you want to live?"

This made Hong Li confused.

He stood there in a daze, blinked twice, a bitter look on his lips, and thought about the problem seriously.

"I... I'm not sure how long it will take to finish dealing with all these things I have. But if possible, like I said just now, two years will be enough..."

Hong Li's eyes were very sincere, and there was really no selfishness in his eyes.

Mingchuan looked at his weathered old eyes and shook his head.

"Your treatment is useless. Like you said, your body has reached its limit. You should know exactly what's going on with your body."

"You've been working so hard for so long that you've reached the point where you're completely exhausted. I can't solve your underlying problem. This isn't like other illnesses where I can find the root cause and remove it."

"The only thing I can do is give you a pill that will last for a while, as you just said."

Hong Li, who had heard the previous words, had gradually lost hope in his eyes.

But when he heard Mingchuan's last words, his body suddenly froze again. He raised his head and looked at Mingchuan in disbelief.

"Does this mean... that you're forcibly extending my life?"

Mingchuan nodded: "Yes, that's what you think."

Hong Li's face suddenly showed great joy.

"Really?!"

He was so anxious that tears streamed down his face. "General Ming, you are so amazing! But won't this be too tiring for you? If..."

Mingchuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's not that much. It's just a pill, right? What's so tiring about it?"

Mingchuan said, "Just wait for me here. I'll be out in a moment."

He said this and turned and went into the bedroom.

Looking at his departing back, everyone in the living room was filled with surprise. They couldn't believe that in this day and age, there were still people in the world who could actually prolong their lives!

This... this is simply an exaggeration!

Even gods are no more than this, right?!

The young man who had been pointing fingers at Mingchuan before was now so shocked that he couldn't even close his eyes!

Seeing him like this, Ah Xiong crossed his arms, showing a disdainful attitude, and sneered: "Haha, brat, now you see how powerful my brother is, right?"

"You used to teach my brother how to do things!"

The young man's face suddenly turned blue and red. He quietly defended himself, "I'm sorry... I was... It was only because General Ming didn't know our master that I..."

"Bah!" Ah Xiong was furious. "My brother has been running around all the time since he was appointed. How can he have time to rest and socialize? How can he possibly know everyone?"

As soon as he said this, the young man suddenly reacted!

Yes! What Axiong said is right!

He quickly waved his hands at Ah Xiong in fear and trepidation: "Yes, I'm sorry! I really didn't mean that!"

"I...I...I deserve to die! It's all my fault!"

The young man was so anxious that he even wanted to slap himself in the face!

"Okay!" At this moment, Mingchuan walked out of the bedroom and suddenly spoke.

He waved his hand casually, stopping the young man from trying to slap him.

"I understand your eagerness to protect your master. Just don't be so arrogant next time."

After saying that, Mingchuan took out a silver pill that he had just taken out from the inner room.

Placed it in front of Hong Li.

"Eat this, and it will keep you alive for at least three years."
