When refreshing the information, Jiang Tao held a piece of River Stone in one hand.
Although he’s not sure if this will help.
It provides so psychological comfort.
[Today’s Information 01]:
Yesterday, at a family gathering, you drank the Maotai given to you by Sun Xiaobao.
You obtained information related to Sun Xiaobao—
Sun Xiaobao, who is in the late stages of liver cancer, is nearing the end of his life.
He feels horribly lonely in his empty house, facing a desolate old age.
With attentive end-of-life care, you could inherit Sun Xiaobao’s estate.
Including: A total of 530 square ters of property in Beijing’s Bai Gezhuang New Village District, along with 2.32 million in bank deposits.
[Note]: Sun Xiaobao has 38 days and 09 hours left to live.
"Old Sun..."
Seeing the first piece of information today, Jiang Tao felt a twinge in his heart.
Although Brother Tongzi’s report ntioned that he only needs to show so care for Sun Xiaobao to inherit his estate.
The 530 square ters of property in Beijing’s Bai Gezhuang New Village District is a wealth that many dream of!
With the current market price of over 30,000 per square ter, these properties have an estimated value of around 20 million!
Plus, there’s also 2.32 million in cash deposits!
In terms of value alone, this piece of information is indeed very high!
It’s the highest-value information Jiang Tao has refreshed so far!
Even the color of this information is a dazzling gold, different from previous interfaces.
But...
Jiang Tao couldn’t feel happy at all; instead, his mood turned sowhat heavy.
Although he hasn’t known Sun Xiaobao for long, nor interacted with him much.
The stark contrast between the old man’s tragic fate and cheerful personality deeply touched Jiang Tao.
"Heaven really does have eyes, breaking the rope at its weakest point."
"Old Sun has suffered so much already, why can’t he catch a break."
Looking at the information about Old Sun on the system interface, an image ford in Jiang Tao’s mind.
In a dark house, a small, frail old man sits quietly in a worn-out wicker chair, waiting for the end of his life.
When Old Sun’s relatives passed away, at least he was there to take care of the aftermath.
This ti it’s his turn, and there’s not a single relative around to handle things for him.
As he thought about how to handle Old Sun’s affairs.
Jiang Tao, feeling sowhat heavy-hearted, turned the page to look at today’s second piece of information.
[Today’s Information 02]:
Yesterday, when you were buying fireworks and firecrackers at Jiantao Supermarket, you ca into contact with Xu Jiantao.
Obtained related information—
Due to excessive obesity and overwork, Xu Jiantao suddenly suffered a heart attack and accompanying stroke with various complications on his way ho.
The golden rescue ti remaining: 1 hour and 8 minutes!
Kind assistance can gain Xu Jiantao’s family’s favor and earn the operating rights to Jiantao Supermarket.
Jiantao Supermarket has been open for eleven years, entering a stable operating period, with an annual inco stable at around 300,000.
...
"Xu Li’s brother!"
Seeing the second piece of information refreshed today, Jiang Tao was surprised again.
The task force needs to act again.
Jiang Tao hurriedly closed the system interface.
While dialing 120 for ergency dical service on his phone, he sprung up from the sofa in a flash.
He ran a few steps to the bathroom door and yanked open the glass door with a whoosh.
"Oh no husband! Why are you in such a rush~"
"Daddy you big perv, get out, don’t peek at girls bathing~"
Inside the bathroom, a large and a small delicate beauty simultaneously cast coquettish glances at Old Jiang.
"Wife, quickly get dressed, it’s urgent!"
"I’m calling Third Brother to co over to accompany Xiao Xue, you and I have to go out."
Jiang Tao didn’t have ti to explain much to Xu Li.
While speaking, the ergency service on the other end picked up, and an operator’s voice sounded.
"There’s a patient here with sudden myocardial infarction and a stroke!"
"Please co quickly to save him, the location is near Li Family Manor on Steel City Road!"
"Fast, fast, fast!! You must hurry!!"
"Bring more people! The patient is severely overweight."
Upon connecting the call, Jiang Tao urgently reported the location marked in the system where Xu Jiantao fainted.
Having Brother Tongzi’s location label made all the difference.
Otherwise, with a dozen kiloters between Nandian Town and Ping County, Xu Jiantao might have been long gone by the ti they found him!
"Your phone number, na, and relationship with the patient..."
After asking Jiang Tao a few questions, the call was finally disconnected.
Hanging up the 120 call, Jiang Tao then quickly dialed 119 for the fire departnt.
He didn’t know the specific situation Xu Li’s cousin was in.
A sudden heart attack, accompanied by a traffic accident or sothing, would be even more troubleso!
...
Ping County, on the section of Li Family Manor on Steel City Road.
On the right side of the road traveling south.
A JAC T6 pickup truck plunged into the small woods below the roadbed.
The front of the pickup was severely deford from the crash.
Inside the car, Xu Jiantao’s head drooped forward.
His breathing was as faint as a flickering candle, seemingly about to extinguish at any mont.
Xu Jiantao, 41 years old this year, with a son and daughter at ho.
The supermarket he ran in town could earn three or four hundred thousand a year.
This inco level is considered high in Ping County.
Yet, as his bank savings grew, Xu Jiantao never felt happy.
Every morning, he would rise from a spacious 140-square-ter house in Ping County’s most expensive neighborhood.
Then drive back to the town’s supermarket to begin operations.
He wouldn’t drive ho until after midnight.
days a year, even if sick, Xu Jiantao stayed in the store with minimal breaks.
Yesterday, seeing his cousin’s family of three laughing and frolicking, he felt a deep-seated envy.
At ho, both children were growing; the older one is already 20 and attending college, while the younger one is in high school.
During the children’s growth, he only participated in the initial baby-making stage.
Later, he barely participated at all.
The two children didn’t feel close to him as their father, sensing a thick invisible wall.
Seeing his cousin’s little girl calling for her dad yesterday, Xu Jiantao sincerely envied them.
Sotis he wonders, rushing into the pursuit of money all his life, all this busyness—what’s it for?
To buy a house, to buy a car, to afford his children’s education.
To honor his parents, to buy branded clothes and bags for his wife.
Has he ever lived a day for himself?
Always thinking that when he can’t work anymore in his fifties or sixties, he’d retire and enjoy life.
But, as the saying goes, "Tomorrow and unforeseen circumstances, you never know which will co first."
In just the few seconds during the episode,
Xu Jiantao’s life played back like a movie in his mind.
As it closed, he saw on the screen four starkly pale words—A Lifeti of Drudgery!
If...
If I survive this calamity, I’ll definitely live for myself from now on!
Everyone only gets one life.
The father lives for the son, the son for the grandson, the grandson for the great-grandson...
Generations, all being beasts of burden for the next generation, is this really the right way?
