Chen Lan still needed to stay behind to pacify the reporters and restrain the employees under her command.

Jiang Ning left alone and came to a shabby building. He climbed up the stairs to a door and lightly knocked, "I'm here."

It was just two short words, yet he did not announce his name.

However, after saying this, crackling sounds came from inside, as if many things had been knocked away. In less than a minute, the door was opened.

An old man stood inside the door. His body was hunched over as he looked at Jiang Ning outside the door. His lips slightly parted, "Sage Jiang, it really is you."

"It's me. Long time no see." Jiang Ning answered plainly.

The person inside the door was the person Jiang Ning had contacted before, the founder of Ning City Elementary School, Zhang De. When Jiang Ning called him, he was already very excited, he never thought that Jiang Ning would actually come to see him.

Zhang De felt like he was dreaming.

After looking at each other for a few minutes, Zhang De finally managed to move out of the way with difficulty and invited Jiang Ning in.

Jiang Ning sighed and walked in, "Your time is almost up."

Zhang De's heart turned cold. He was already over a hundred years old, so he definitely wouldn't live for more than a few more years. However, from Jiang Ning's mouth, these words became a prophecy.

He couldn't help but sigh. When he first met Jiang Ning, he had already become like this. Many years had passed and he was no longer able to walk, but Jiang Ning was still young.

"Ai, how much longer?" Zhang De accepted reality. Seventy is already considered rare. Although the average lifespan of modern people is a lot longer, at his age, he can be considered to have earned more than 100 years of age.

To him, it was just human nature to see the rise and fall of history. He shook his head and said, "You have your own feelings, so I won't say any more. However, there is still time to fulfill any unfulfilled wishes."

Zhang De and Jiang Ning sat face to face. Jiang Ning didn't disturb Zhang De. The two chatted nonchalantly until the sun set. Only then did Jiang Ning stand up.

He came with his own purpose, one was to see Zhang De, and the other one was, "I'm going to take away the thing I left with you."

Jiang Ning revealed the purpose of this trip.

Zhang De looked up and took out a card, "Sage Jiang, this is for you." This was a black card, and the numbers on it were all printed in real platinum. There might not even be a few cards on the entire Ning City.

Jiang Ning accepted the card. He only left this thing with Zhang De, but he treated it as his most precious treasure and kept it close to his body. This was his respect to Jiang Ning.

Zhang De knew that there was a hundred billion yuan in it, but he still didn't have any evil intentions towards taking it for himself. Just from these two points, Jiang Ning felt that he should repay Zhang De's kindness.

"In the final days, I will allow you to eat and drink, travel, and enjoy yourself. Then, you can welcome that day." Jiang Ning took out his silver needle.

He spread it out and cleaned all the needles, then looked at Zhang De with a serious expression.

Zhang De nodded in joy. He had been lying on the chair for a long time and couldn't go anywhere. Three meals a day were plain porridge or nutritious foods. He felt that it was a kind of torture.

Jiang Ning started to apply the needles. They were densely packed and covered Zhang De's entire body. After half an hour, Jiang Ning finally retracted the needles.

And Zhang De also opened his eyes, "Sage Jiang, thank you." The voice was loud and clear, completely unlike the sickly look from before.

Jiang Ning said his goodbyes. He quickly stood up to send Jiang Ning off.

"This is not to prolong your life, it is just to let you leave your final days better."

Before he left, he heard Zhang De call someone else, "I want to eat hotpot today, what nutritious food, go to the side. Also, I want to see my wife and you want to talk to her. Make the arrangements for me."

The next day, Chen Lan went to work while Jiang Ning stayed at home. He had passed his period of weakness, but his cultivation could only recover slowly.

Jiang Ning was woken up by a knock on the door after he had been taking forty-nine breaths. His mother-in-law's voice came from outside the door, "Come out, there's a guest at home."

Jiang Ning shook his head, stopped his training, put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

It was a young man in a designer suit, his expensive watch barely visible as he raised his hand. Ferrari's car keys lay casually on the table.

Jiang Ning knew all of this because he had met someone before, and the man was showing off too much.

"Lin Tian, how long has it been since you came to see your aunt?" It could be seen that Yulan was very cordial. Jiang Ning, this superb son-in-law, had never seen his mother-in-law's face in such a good light.

Yulan saw Jiang Ning come out and her eyes flashed with a look of disdain. She stood up and said, "This is Lan's classmate, Lin Tian, go quickly and pour him a cup of tea. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Ning smiled. He did housework because of Chen Lan. A man who came from nowhere wanted him to bring tea and water, so he treated it like it was nothing.

"Auntie, this is?" Lin Tian gave people a feeling of gentleness, modesty and politeness, but as to who Jiang Ning was, he could tell with a glance that Lin Tian was not friendly.

Yulan pulled Lin Tian over, "If he doesn't give you water, then Mom will give you water. What do you want to drink? The Dragon Pool of the West Lake.

Jiang Ning was completely speechless. There was indeed some expensive tea in the house. Usually, Jiang Ning wouldn't even take a sip if he wanted to. But the moment this person arrived, Yulan would take it out to entertain him.

Jiang Ning knew that Yulan wanted him and Chen Lan to divorce, but he was still here. How much did she want to be someone else's mother-in-law?

Jiang Ning felt bored and prepared to go back to his room. Yulan also ran into the kitchen to find some tea for Lin Tian.

"You're Lan's husband?" The gentle expression from before was already gone. Now, Lin Tian was looking at Jiang Ning while gritting his teeth in anger.

"Mm, yes." Jiang Ning wasn't in the mood to say another word to such a person.

"I didn't expect her to fall for you after chasing Lan around for so long."

They didn't say much as Yulan came out of the kitchen with a beautiful tea set.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room." Jiang Ning was about to leave after saying that.

Yulan put down the tea set in her hand and quickly ran over to pull Jiang Ning back, "Don't act dumb for me. Since Lan is not here, I'll tell you directly. Divorce Lan."

Originally, I didn't plan to say it that directly, but Lan's business is at a crucial moment, and you will only drag Lan down.

Jiang Ning was a bit angry, "What if I say no?"
