The small town is truly small, with only one street.
The streetlights are very dim, and walking on the street gives a spine-chilling feeling.
This is a world apart from the bustling and lively scenery of Yanjing.
However, while the environnt can influence one's mood, more often than not, it's the events one encounters that determine whether one feels good or bad; the environnt is just not that significant a factor.
The night in Yanjing, though bustling with lights, still couldn't describe Chen Ruchang's mood, as he resided in the hospital.
In fact, he felt quite irritated.
The hospital's diagnosis had already made him quite restless.
Upon learning that he had a malignant tumor in the pylorus area of his stomach, commonly known as stomach cancer, Chen Ruchang was profoundly shocked.
A short while ago, when he heard about Yang Yuanshan having a malignant tumor, he had a schadenfreude expression.
"The wicked will et their just deserts!" Chen Ruchang had sarcastically remarked about Yang Yuanshan back then.
Afterward, when Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling helped them with treatnt, Chen Ruchang once again despised Yang Yuanshan fiercely.
Yang Yuanshan, in order to save his own life, actually turned a blind eye to the fact that his son died because of the Luo Family and accepted the ingratiation from the Luo Grandfather and Grandson.
He cursed Yang Yuanshan for dying a miserable death.
He naturally hoped that Yang Yuanshan's condition would worsen and that he would die soon.
If Yang Yuanshan died, the incompetent Yang Yunlin would not be able to hold up the Yang Family at all.
With the fall of the Yang Family, the Chen Family would definitely benefit.
But unexpectedly, only a few months later, he himself was diagnosed with a malignant tumor.
Although it was early-stage stomach cancer, with surgery and chemotherapy, the ten-year survival rate was at least over ninety percent, but in an era where people were terrified of cancer, Chen Ruchang was still deeply affected.
When such a disease occurs in others, most people can't truly empathize.
Only when one's own body is found to have abnormalities, especially being afflicted with such a malignant disease, does one realize that being sick is truly not an easy thing to accept. Though Chen Ruchang's mind wasn't ordinary, after learning the diagnosis, he still suffered from insomnia.
His temper also beca irritable, often reprimanding those around him.
He no longer had the patience he once had when considering matters.
There were doctors who suggested that while undergoing surgery, they should get help from the Luo Grandfather and Grandson, but Chen Ruchang flatly refused.
The doctors' suggestion was well-intended because Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling had worked a miracle on Yang Yuanshan.
The cancerous lesion inside Yang Yuanshan was shrinking at a speed that everyone found unbelievable.
Although the cancerous lesion hadn't completely disappeared, it had beco increasingly smaller, and was completely encapsulated, with the tumor tissue tightly wrapped by the inner mbrane, preventing it from spreading out.
In fact, if a person has cancer, and the cancerous lesion is well encapsulated, with cancer cells not spreading out, but only existing within the primary lesion, it basically has no impact on the body.
With increased bodily resistance, the cancerous lesion might gradually diminish and eventually disappear altogether.
Tumor cells are cleared by immune cells.
If a person's resistance increases, these abnormal tissues might very well be cleared by the body's robust immune system.
The principle of tumor treatnt is quite similar; even with surgical treatnt, the final recovery still relies on the body's immune system to clear abnormal cells and achieve ultimate healing.
Both surgical and dicinal treatnts aim to aid the body's immune system in clearing abnormal tissues.
The perniciousness of a tumor lies in its potential for extensive spread, leading to abnormal growth in certain areas, which damages the tissue and function of the host site, resulting in the failure of organs and tissues, and leading to death.
If the encapsulation is good, then tumor cells won't spread out, preventing severe consequences. In the human body, the encapsulation of the thyroid and prostate is very dense, which is why malignant tumors in these areas have the best prognosis, with tumor cells hardly spreading out—unless there's human interference: like punctures, surgical accidents, etc. After tumor tissue removal, the body is almost unaffected.
For thyroid tumor patients, nearly eighty to ninety percent of them do not have their survival affected.
The treatnt thods of Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng involve special techniques to activate the latent immune functions in the body while using unique thods to inhibit the tastasis and growth of tumor cells. With enhanced immune function, the malignant growth of tumor tissues is suppressed. If this continues, the immune system within the body will certainly conquer the tumor cells, ultimately completely eliminating the tumor tissues.
While the prognosis of stomach cancer is not as good as that of thyroid and prostate cancer, early treatnt hardly impacts longevity.
If they were to seek Luo Ziling and Luo Liansheng's help again, they could cure early-stage stomach cancer without surgery.
The hospital doctors' suggestion was, of course, for Chen Ruchang's own good, but Chen Ruchang could not accept it.
He was certainly afraid that not only would the grandfather and grandson not help him, but they might deliberately sabotage him so that he dies early.
Chen Ruchang understood clearly that Luo Liansheng and Luo Ziling regarded him as a mortal enemy.
Unless he had lost his mind, he wouldn't possibly ask the two grandsons for help in his treatnt.
Originally, he planned to have surgery in these two days, with all preparations completed.
However, the occurrences of the past few days left him in no mood to undergo surgery, and thus he forcefully postponed the surgery date.
Chen Ruchang was well aware that a massive conspiracy against the Chen Family was unfolding, like a net being cast.
After closely observing the situation over the past days, Chen Ruchang felt suffocated by a sense of oppression.
The opponent wasn't just one family; it spanned several, each step closely pressing, with the intention of uprooting the Chen Family.
Given such a backdrop, how could he possibly have peace of mind for surgery?
Due to the need to prepare for surgery, his two sons, Chen Yining and Chen Yijing, both returned to Yanjing.
Other Chen Family mbers also visited the hospital.
However, among the grandchildren, only Chen Xiaoxiao stood by his side.
Chen Jiahu remained deprived of freedom and wasn't allowed to visit, even though he was ill.
Another granddaughter, Chen Xiaoyi, was in Europe and hadn't returned.
Chen Ruchang didn't have his family notify her—it's not a life-or-death situation—so there was no rush to call Chen Xiaoyi back.
Tonight, when he was supposed to rest, Chen Ruchang couldn't sleep at all in the hospital ward, feeling extrely agitated. He summoned his two sons, and as Chen Yining and Chen Yijing entered, Chen Ruchang imdiately lashed out at them, calling them as dumb as pigs.
"Didn't you say that no matter how your plan failed, the Chen Family wouldn't get implicated?" Chen Ruchang angrily smashed a teacup at Chen Yining's feet, shouting hoarsely, "Look here, the people around you were all caught. So many of those you sent were taken. Where are the so-called professional troops you hired? Have they hurt even a hair on the opponent?"
Chen Yining didn't dare to argue, standing there crestfallen, feeling even more depressed than Chen Ruchang.
