Qin Hao listened to his words and his expression froze for a moment.


    Xu Siyao also felt some surprise, she hadn''t expected her father to look for Qin Hao because of her grandmother''s illness, but wasn''t her grandmother''s disease said to be incurable?


    Qin Hao asked, "Can you describe the condition in more detail?"


    "My mother fell ill suddenly fifty years ago, and after many examinations, the cause was still undetermined," Xu Jiekang and Xu Jiejian both frowned when mentioning their mother''s illness.


    Qin Hao said, "I can''t be sure what the disease is without seeing her myself."


    Xu Jiekang felt somewhat embarrassed, "Xiao Hao, would you mind taking a trip to see her yourself?"


    "Sure, I happen to be free today."


    Qin Hao indeed needed the Xu family''s goodwill; after what had happened last time, he had realized the importance of connections in Jianghai City.


    If he didn''t have any contacts, perhaps he really could have gotten set up by Cui Zhi.


    Even if he couldn''t figure out the illness this time, the Xu family would remember his favor.


    Xu Jiekang spoke up, "The journey is a bit long, shall we set out now?"


    Qin Hao nodded indifferently, since he had already decided to go, any time was fine for him.


    Xu Jiejian said, "I''ll call our dad first."

    Xu Siyao replied, "I''m not very clear myself, just that she suddenly couldn''t stand up without any warning. We''ve sought the top specialists in the country, but they also couldn''t find out what''s wrong."


    Couldn''t stand up? That meant paralysis, and even specialists couldn''t diagnose it; this piqued his curiosity about what kind of illness could cause someone to suddenly experience such a condition without warning.


    ...


    After driving for an hour, Xu Siyao dozed off, her head gently swaying and then inadvertently leaning onto Qin Hao''s shoulder.


    Sun Fang, seeing this, didn''t know whether to laugh or cry; not mentioning it felt wrong, but mentioning it felt just as inappropriate.


    Xu Jiekang in the front seat also noticed and chuckled, "This child always gets sleepy in the car."


    Sun Fang also chuckled and said, "She''s so grown up, yet she still doesn''t care about her image."


    Qin Hao lightly laughed, "I drool in my sleep, it''s a normal reaction..."


    At noon, they finally entered the territory of Gujing.


    However, they didn''t go into the city center of Gujing City but took the outer ring road instead.


    Around half-past twelve, they arrived outside a beautifully landscaped residential area.


    Soldiers were occasionally seen patrolling around the complex, and there were armed guards at the entrance.


    Seeing this, Qin Hao felt a chill in his heart. Who exactly was Xu Siyao''s grandfather to live in such a place?


    With such security measures, not even a significant official might receive such treatment.


    When Xu Jiejian''s car pulled up to the gate, the guard glanced at it, then let them through.
