After returning from the cemetery, Jiang Jing and Fu Jinrong first sent mother of Jiang back to the apartment, but as soon as they reached the door of the apartment, a middle-aged woman jumped out and grabbed mother of Jiang.

"The patient you asked me to look after is dying." Jiang Jing realized this woman was the nurse mother of Jiang had specially hired for Su Muzhi.

Jiang Jing began to worry that if something happened to elder brother Muzhi.

She hurriedly grabbed the middle-aged woman and asked, "What's wrong? What happened to brother Muzhi?"

The nurse explained helplessly, "I don't know. As soon as I went this morning, the doctor said his condition had worsened told me to inform the patient's family, so I made a call, but no one answered. In a hurry, I ran over and waited for you here."

Jiang Jing listened and realized that brother Muzhi's condition was getting worse. She turned around and told Fu Jinrong, "Stay here with mom. I'll go to the hospital."

Fu Jinrong grabbed Jiang Jing, who was about to leave, and he frowned, "It's not safe for you to go to the hospital on your own. I'll go with you."

"I can do it alone. You just take care of mom." Jiang Jing then said to her mother, "Mom, could you stay at home? Brother Muzhi should be fine. You are not in good health now. So just have good rest at home."

Mother of Jiang nodded, but she held Jiang Jing back and said, "I can stay at home, but you should let Fu go with you. I can look after myself, and I don't need anyone to accompany me."

Mother of Jiang did want Fu Jinrong to accompany Jiang Jing in case she couldn't handle the complicated things alone in the hospital, and she also hoped Fu Jinrong would not misunderstand the relationship between Su Muzhi and Jiang Jing. As a mother, she was responsible to help them maintain a good marriage relationship.

Jiang Jing thought to herself that she really needed a helper now, so she nodded and looked at Fu Jinrong and asked, "Would you like to come with me?"

Fu Jinrong took Jiang Jing's hand and told the nurse, "Please take care of my mom."

Then the couple rushed to the hospital. When they arrived at Su Muzhi's ward, they found Su Muzhi was wearing a respirator, with closed eyes and colorless face.

"Doctor, how's my brother?" Jiang Jing pulled a passing doctor and asked.

The doctor looked at Su Muzhi in the room and shook his head, "The patient's condition has suddenly worsened. I suggest you send him abroad for better treatment."

"Why did it get worse all of a sudden?" Jiang Jing couldn't understand. She knew that Muzhi's body had always been weak, but how could it suddenly get worse? He had always been calm and optimistic, and he wouldn't hurt himself.

The doctor also had no idea, "I don't know. I just know that the patient's condition is getting worse because of his agitation."

As if thinking of something, Jiang Jing quickly asked, "Did he meet anyone last night, or did anyone come to visit my brother last night?"

"I don't know about that. You can go to the nurse's office and ask. They'll know more." The doctor suggested to Jiang Jing.

Fu Jinrong walked to Jiang Jing's side, reached an arm on her shoulder, nodded to the doctor and said, "Okay, we got it. Thank you, doctor."

"Don't mention it. It's a pleasure to help you. I just want you to think about my suggestion and send him to the United States where he can get better medical treatment."

The doctor said sincerely, trying his best to let his patient get the best treatment. As a doctor, he always hoped his patients restore their health as soon as possible.

Jiang Jing subconsciously nodded her head, "Okay, I see. I'll think about it."

Fu Jinrong took Jiang Jing to the nurse station. Jiang Jing quickly asked the nurse, "Excuse me, did anyone come to visit Su Muzhi yesterday?"

The nurse thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Jing and replied, "There was an old man."

Jiang Jing looked at Fu Jinrong doubtfully, "Who could be that old man?"

Fu Jinrong frowned, thought for a while, and then asked the nurse, "Did that old man use a cane?"

"He did, how do you know? That old man came here with a walking stick. Although he looked quite old, he was hale and hearty." The nurse remembered him.

At this moment, Jiang Jing understood that the old man the nurse talked about should be Jiang Jingrun, but why on earth did Jiang Jingrun come to find Muzhi, and what exactly did Jiang Jingrun say to make his condition worsen?

"Did my brother get worse after the old man left?" Jiang Jing wanted to know more.

The nurse thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, Mr. Su's illness suddenly got worse in the late midnight of last night, several hours after old man left."

Jiang Jing nodded and said gently, "Okay, I see. Thank you."

Fu Jinrong dragged Jiang Jing back to Su Muzhi's ward. "Do you suspect grandpa?" Fu Jinrong looked into Jiang Jing's eyes and stared deeply.

"He should be suspected. Grandpa suddenly came to visit Muzhi, and then his condition got worse. It's impossible that it is all a coincidence. I don't believe that elder brother Muzhi's illness has nothing to do with grandpa." Jiang Jing patiently expressed her feeling of doubt and uncertainty.

Fu Jinrong nodded in agreement with her supposition, but he didn't agree with her idea of directly asking grandpa why he suddenly came to visit Su Muzhi.

"No matter what, you can't ask grandpa. Even if you have any more doubts in your heart, you can't do it." Fu Jinrong knew what Jiang Jing wanted to do next, but he thought it was impracticable.

Jiang Jing frowned and asked, "Why? Why can't I ask?"

"Since grandpa came to visit Su Muzhi openly and didn't do anything to hide it, it means that he didn't do anything illegal. So the exacerbation of Su Muzhi absolutely hasn't direct connection to him."

Fu Jinrong recalled what the nurse had just told them. He calmly analyzed it and hoped that Jiang Jing would listen to his thoughts.

"But the doctor clearly said that his condition worsened because of unstable emotion. The only thing that could make elder brother Muzhi emotionally unstable was grandfather." Jiang Jing explained word by word.

Fu Jinrong still shook his head, "I know. I understand what you said, but you have to know that even if grandpa really did something bad, he would not let anyone know it. You can't be so impulsive."

"Then what should I do now?" Jiang Jing did not know what she could do at this time. She suddenly felt that grandpa was so manipulative and scheming, but she was like a chess piece, playing an insignificant role in grandpa's entire layout.

Fu Jinrong sighed deeply, "Didn't the doctor just suggest sending your brother to the United States? In that case, send your brother there first so that he can recover soon."

"Okay, I'll get ready as soon as possible. I'm going to send mom over as well." Jiang Jing thought of her mother who was still in the apartment and replied.

Fu Jinrong didn't understand. He asked, "Why did you send mom there too?"

"On the one hand, I'm really worried about elder brother Muzhi being alone in the United States. If mom is there, she can take care of him. On the other hand, mom has been too preoccupied lately. I want her to change the environment and relax." Jiang Jing did not want her mother to be immersed in the grief of her father's death.

Fu Jinrong listened to Jiang Jing's explanation and nodded, "Well, you are very thoughtful. Then let mother and Su Muzhi go over together. I'll help you."

Hearing that Fu Jinrong was going to help her solve the problem, Jiang Jing shook her head, "No, I'll figure it out myself. I want to solve it myself this time."

Fu Jinrong saw that Jiang Jing's attitude was so firm that he couldn't say anything else. He could only say, "Okay, then do it yourself first. If you need anything, just tell me."

Jiang Jing smiled and felt grateful for Fu Jinrong from the bottom of her heart. During this time, he had helped her so much that she didn't know how to repay him. So this time, she must rely on her own strength to send elder brother Muzhi and her mother to the United States.

Su Muzhi, who had been sleeping quietly in the ward, slowly opened his eyes. He looked up and saw Jiang Jing, who had been waiting outside.

Jiang Jing also looked at Su Muzhi, and her heart warmed up. She silently told Su Muzhi in the ward: have a good rest and I'm always here.

These eight words made Su Muzhi, who had a pale face on the hospital bed, suddenly shed tears which fell from the corners of his eyes onto the white sheets.

"Okay, I'll leave it all to you." Su Muzhi said something, with a respirator on his face. Although Jiang Jing could not hear it clearly, she understood what he said.

Because Su Muzhi was still under intensive care, Jiang Jing and Fu Jinrong were unable to go into the ward for close visits, and they left after Su Muzhi fell asleep again.

"What do you want to do next?" Fu Jinrong wanted to know Jiang Jing's plan in advance.

Jiang Jing thought for a moment and said, "Help mom and elder brother Muzhi get their visas first, then prepare a sum of money for them to send them abroad and let elder brother Muzhi receive the best treatment."

"Well, you're right, but it can't be that easy." Fu Jinrong straightly told Jiang Jing what he was thinking.

"Grandpa came to visit Su Muzhi on purpose, which means he must know about your relationship. He must have his own plans for Su Muzhi. I don't think your next move will go smoothly." Fu Jinrong looked at Jiang Jing and said all his worries.
