A few minutes later, intense arguing between Yang Yunlin and Yang Qingyin could be heard from outside, but the argument soon died down.

Luo Ziling didn't go out; he stayed in the room, drinking beer and having a late-night snack.

About ten minutes later, Luo Ziling heard the sound of a door opening and closing outside, followed by a gentle knock on his room door.

When he opened it, he saw Yang Qingyin standing at the doorway.

"Where's your dad?" Luo Ziling looked outside but didn't see Yang Yunlin, so he asked naturally.

"He's gone," Yang Qingyin lowered her head, "He stormed off after an argument with me and said he won't care about me anymore."

"It's actually not bad that he didn't threaten to sever the father-daughter relationship," Luo Ziling chuckled bitterly, hugging Yang Qingyin, "Maybe your dad was moved by what I just said."

"Impossible," Yang Qingyin leaned against Luo Ziling's chest, gently shaking her head, "He just accepted your threat. He doesn't dare let grandpa take any risks!"

"That's also a good thing," Luo Ziling smiled, then quickly added seriously, "But I have to remind you, what I said just now wasn't a threat but the real situation. Cancer is sometimes very strange; if you don't touch it, it can coexist peacefully with the body for a long time. Especially cancers that are well-encapsulated, like thyroid cancer, prostate cancer; for some people, even if untreated, it's not a big problem, particularly for older people. If treated, after surgery, the disease may worsen abruptly, both in quality of life and survival time. Perhaps, the cancer tissue is also perceptive; when someone wants to eliminate it, it resists and spreads, causing cancer cells to migrate. Your grandpa's situation is like this now, so treatment can't be stopped; it must continue as soon as possible."

"But your grandpa isn't in Yanjing, and it's inconvenient for you to treat him," Yang Qingyin said worriedly, "I know your intention is to pressure my dad and grandpa to agree to something, but I'm really worried that grandpa's condition might become uncontrollable."

"Actually, during the treatment process, acupuncture therapy doesn't always have to be used. My grandpa prescribed some medicine while treating your grandpa, so continuing to take the medicine is also a form of treatment. During the medication process, as long as you frequently check and monitor the changes in the condition, adjustments can be made according to the condition, and other methods can be used when necessary." At this point, Luo Ziling smiled.

Although Luo Ziling didn't elaborate, Yang Qingyin understood what he meant and felt relieved.

"Then when you go back, help check on my grandpa and see how his condition is now."

"No problem," Luo Ziling nodded in agreement, then yawned, "Let's wash up and go to bed; I'm really tired today."

"What about the late-night snack? Aren't you going to eat?" Yang Qingyin pointed to the beer and snacks that Yang Yunlin hadn't touched, "If not, it'd be a waste to have bought them."

"Let others have it; we should skip it. Eating before bed isn't good for health. They probably won't sleep so soon; some will have to stay up late."

"Alright then!" Yang Qingyin didn't object.

Luo Ziling opened the door and called Yang Xiaodong over, asking him to take the late-night snacks and beer to the other security personnel.

"Young master, is the crisis averted?" Yang Xiaodong asked Luo Ziling with a chuckle when he came in to take the snacks.

"Cut the crap, take it quickly and leave; I want to sleep now."

Seeing Luo Ziling's unhappy face, Yang Xiaodong didn't ask more and left with the food and beer.

Actually, Luo Ziling and Yang Qingyin were staying in a high-class suite but it only had one room.

Inside the room, there were two beds, one was a two-meter king-size bed, and the other a slightly smaller 1.8-meter bed.

But last night, they only used one bed.

Tonight, however, Yang Qingyin requested that they each sleep on a separate bed.

"The way you were last night scared me," Yang Qingyin explained her reasoning for this arrangement, "If we sleep together, and you start anything, it might be troublesome again."

"Alright," Luo Ziling indeed didn't have the interest to get affectionate with Yang Qingyin today, plus taking care of his own health, so he followed Yang Qingyin's arrangement. "After I give you a massage, let's have a good sleep, and continue our journey tomorrow."

Yang Qingyin naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed readily.

After Yang Qingyin went in to shower, Luo Ziling checked his phone.

Luo Yuqing had sent him a message, but it was just a simple greeting.

There were a few other messages, but after a quick look, Luo Ziling didn't reply to any.

When Yang Qingyin finished her shower, she came out to dry her hair, and while she was doing that, Luo Ziling went in to shower.

After his shower, Luo Ziling came out to find that Yang Qingyin had already dried her hair, and a lovely fragrance filled the room.

"Senior, you smell really nice," Luo Ziling joked while massaging Yang Qingyin, "The scent is intoxicating."

"Don't tease me," Yang Qingyin kicked Luo Ziling lightly, "Do a proper massage, no funny business."

"I wasn't planning any mischief; are you implying something?" Luo Ziling deliberately pinched Yang Qingyin's waist.

Yang Qingyin couldn't stand it and exclaimed, squirming for a bit.

Before Yang Qingyin could get upset, Luo Ziling quickly pressed down on her body and continued to massage her.

After softly complaining for a few moments, Yang Qingyin didn't get angry anymore. Then, after a short pause, she faintly asked Luo Ziling, "Junior, what you said about my father earlier made sense, but it still hurt to hear."

"I understand, you must feel uncomfortable about it; after all, he's your father, and you're family," Luo Ziling nodded, "But I couldn't help saying it. I just want to warn your father, so he won't do anything similar again. I only scolded him verbally, which is completely different from him trying to take my life, right? Alright, I didn't mean anything else by it; I just hope that such things don't happen again."

Yang Qingyin was silent for a long time before asking Luo Ziling again, "Would you retaliate in the same way?"

Luo Ziling earnestly answered, "Since he's your father, I wouldn't take his life, even if he wanted mine."

Yang Qingyin stayed silent again, and after a while, she asked, "If one day, I truly get disowned by my dad and we're no longer father and daughter, what should I do?"

"No matter what, I will spend my life with you. I've said it before, we have to live to 120 together."

Yang Qingyin felt a bit touched by this but still huffily questioned, "I'm a year older than you, so does that mean you want me to die before you?"

"Let's die together, having a companion on the Nether Road should be better, haha!"
