"Me?"

"According to age and seniority, I should address him as Grandpa Su," Su Yun replied after two seconds of thought.

"Hmm, that's right..." Old Zhao took a deep breath after hearing this, then said, "Little Su, I'll tell you a secret, do you want to hear it?"

Old Zhao asked, it was all too sudden today... so much so that he was completely unprepared.

"A secret? Then I won't listen... lest—" Before Su Yun could finish, Old Zhao interrupted him.

"You must listen!"

"I ask you, haven't you noticed that you, your father, and Old Su all look very much alike?" Old Zhao said, gazing at Su Yun.

"Hmm! There's some resemblance!" Su Yun was noncommittal.

"Haven't you ever wondered why?" Old Zhao continued to ask.

"I did at first, but then I stopped thinking about it."

"The world is so big, it's possible for people to look alike."

"There are many doppelgangers online, too, right? It's very normal."

"Plus, our family is in Jiangcheng, and Old Su is a purebred Kyoto native. They're completely unrelated... let alone relatives..." Su Yun analyzed.

"Alas..."

"Little Su... but I'm telling you..."

"Old Su is actually your... blood-related paternal grandfather!"

"How do you feel about that?" Old Zhao finally spoke the words.

"What!"

"Old Zhao, you're not joking, are you!"

"What are you talking about!"

"This is no laughing matter!" Su Yun was shocked!

Immediately, countless thoughts raced through his mind!

According to this, all previous doubts could be explained!

Why was Old Su so polite and so important to him!

Why were all these people so attentive and concerned about his father, a nobody!

Everything made sense!

It meant Old Su was his biological grandfather!

It seemed... from the clues, from the logic, everything could be explained... "This is true..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Originally, I didn't want to say it, but now you know, Old Su is already in the late stage of cancer."

"The people he has let down the most in his life are your family..."

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't have much time left."

"I don't want him to leave this world with regrets, so..."

"I didn't consider your feelings; I want you all to acknowledge your kinship..."

"Little Su, I know this is very sudden and difficult for you, after all, you've only known him for such a short time!"

"But..." Old Zhao said, choking up.

Su Yun was genuinely shocked.

The two sides were so far apart, yet had such a relationship... For a moment, his mood was incredibly complex... Faced with such a situation, Su Yun was helpless, not knowing what to say!

Dealing with human ethics is usually harder than dealing with external pressure... "This..."

"Old Zhao..."

"Sigh..." Su Yun sighed.

What should he do?

How should he do it!

How to make this perfect?

Every single thing was incredibly difficult!

He had never been so hesitant, so anxious!

Old Su was his blood-related grandfather, that couldn't be denied... but the two families hadn't been in contact for decades... This was... "Have a cigarette..." Old Zhao took out a cigarette and handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun took it; it was his first cigarette in his life.

The strong smoke stimulated Su Yun's lungs, making him cough violently.

"Old Zhao, can you tell me what happened?" Su Yun asked.

"This..."

"You might know, Old Su and I worked in Jiangcheng back then..."

"At that time, your grandmother was giving birth in the hospital."

"Old Su and I were fighting floods. That night, the situation eased, and Old Su was rushing back to the hospital, but there was a problem in the area I was responsible for..."

"In the end..."

"Because he helped me, Old Su missed the time to return to the hospital..."

"That very night, not long after your father was born, he disappeared..."

"These years, Old Su and I never stopped looking for you, but... no matter how we searched, there was no news..."

"Until your sudden appearance, which caught our attention..."

"That's when..." Old Zhao also lit a cigarette and said.

"So that's how it is..."

"However, Old Zhao, you also know... the main crux of this matter isn't with me."

"My father is the key to everything."

"If he wants to acknowledge kinship, then Old Su is naturally my grandfather, but if he has no such intention, then I can do nothing."

"After all, I am the third generation; I can't actually make the decision," Su Yun said.

"That's right..."

"Sigh..." Old Zhao took a fierce drag from his cigarette, not knowing what to say.

What to do about such a matter?

"Little Su, what do you think I should do?" Old Zhao was at a loss now.

"Old Zhao, if you want me to say it, or ask me to persuade my father, I cannot do either of those things!"

"You also know that Old Su has a special status, and the situation is very tricky."

"He who tied the bell must untie it; things always need to be resolved."

"Either you tell my father ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) what happened."

"Or, only Old Su and my father can have a heart-to-heart talk."

"These are the only two solutions," Su Yun said slowly.

"Hmm." Old Zhao lowered his head.

"Also, Old Su's condition is not untreatable."

"I'll be frank with you here."

"I do indeed have the latest research on cancer treatment!"

"Theoretically, it can eliminate cancer cells."

"But what happens in reality, I don't know," Su Yun continued.

"What?" Old Zhao looked at Su Yun in surprise.

"You mean you have research on cancer treatment technology!" Old Zhao quickly asked.

"Yes."

"There is a treatment method, and it can be implemented, but no one can guarantee the effect!" Su Yun said.

When Old Zhao heard this, he was first skeptical, then full of surprise, and then hope blossomed in his heart... Wasn't the 7nm lithography machine an example right before his eyes?

It seemed there really was hope...
