"Second Master, why are you here?"

A villa halfway up Jingyang Mountain in Nancheng.

When the security guard saw Zhan Tingxiao rolling down the car window, he was stunned for three seconds.

Zhan Tingxiao asked: "Is my brother asleep?"

"No."

As soon as the security guard mentioned Zhan Chenfeng, Fang Zheng's face showed a bit of nervousness and hesitation.

"He's having insomnia again?"

"Ugh."

The security guard sighed and replied in fear and trepidation: "The young master's insomnia has become even worse. When I was on routine patrol just now, I found him secretly hiding in the basement and beating his legs again.

Second Young Master, do you think his leg is really incurable?

He was such a proud person, he once lived in the spotlight, but now he can only hide here alone..."

"The medicine prescribed by Professor Zhang has no effect?"

"No, he also threw away the medicine that the old lady had sent. He...actually, he had given up on treatment a long time ago.

I was just afraid that you and the old lady would be sad, so every time I was in front of you, I always pretended to be optimistic and cooperated with the treatment. But as soon as you left..."

Once he left, he quietly hid away, licking his wounds of despair.

Zhan Ting looked up at the building in the distance.

His eldest brother used to be an omnipotent being.

He was trained as an heir since childhood.

He followed his father into the group at the age of ten, and at a young age he helped the Zhan family win the position of the richest man in South City.

He joined the board of directors at the age of eleven and became the youngest talented entrepreneur in the financial news at the age of fourteen.

Just when everyone was praising the Zhan family for having produced a business prodigy, the glory of his life came to an abrupt halt when he was fifteen years old.

That year, the Zhan family almost suffered a devastating disaster.

The pillar of the family fell, and the child prodigy became paralyzed and unconscious.

After his grandmother sought out many famous doctors and went through great pains to bring him back from the brink of death, he seemed like a changed person.

He is still gentle and polite in front of others, with a bright smile.

But behind the scenes...

Zhan Tingxiao has heard him abuse himself more than once.

There was even one time when he accidentally discovered that he had hidden a large amount of sleeping pills.

If he hadn't replaced it in time, I'm afraid he would have...

"Big brother."

In deep sorrow, he had already walked into the main building.

In the dark, frighteningly large basement, he saw the man sitting in a wheelchair with his back to the door and his head bowed.

The faint moonlight could not penetrate into the heavy basement, just as hope could not illuminate this lifeless body.

When Zhan Chenfeng heard his brother's voice, his weathered body stiffened for a few seconds.

Then, maybe I've been pretending to be strong for too long and I'm too tired.

He finally took off his disguise and asked weakly: "Ah Xiao, please do me a favor."

"Let me go, quietly and with dignity, okay?"

Zhan Tingxiao's voice suddenly choked up: "Where are you going?"

"Go find my parents! I should have been with them twenty years ago."

"What about us? Grandma, Old Five, Little Six and me, are you willing to give up on them?"

“……” He was reluctant to do so, so he managed to survive until now.

But what’s the point of living like this?

Every time he saw them bringing famous doctors in with high hopes, pouring bowls of bitter medicine into his stomach but seeing no effect at all, he had had enough.

"Ah Xiao, I want to be free."

"elder brother……"

"Just help me. You are always more rational than them. You know what to do to be best for me!"

"no!"

"no!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice came from the basement door.

Said in unison with Zhan Tingxiao.

Zhan Chenfeng looked towards the door.

Suddenly, in the dim basement, a pair of slender hands slapped the wall switch.

With a click.

Light repels darkness.

It illuminated two stunned handsome faces.

Jiang Wan was wearing a black nightgown and walked towards them with firm steps.

"A rare business genius in China should live in this world with brilliance. Big brother, the best way for you is to let you live well!

Live wonderfully!

Live with dignity!"

"Who are you?"

Zhan Chenfeng looked at Zhan Tingxiao beside him strangely.

Not to mention that the villa halfway up the mountain had tight security and high walls, making it difficult for a petite girl like her to break in.

Just her calling him "Big Brother" was enough to shock Zhan Chenfeng to the point of standing there.

He doesn't remember having such a sister.

So what?

"cough!"

Zhan Tingxiao came back to his senses from his shock, and when he saw Jiang Wan appear, he felt a sense of hope for the first time.

He said to Zhan Chenfeng excitedly: "Yes, brother, you can still live with dignity!"

"..."

"Jiang Wan, have you heard of her? She was the one who cured grandma's long-standing illness. Maybe she can cure your leg!"

His gaze turned to Jiang Wan.

It fell on her delicate oval face, with a quiet request that was inconsistent with his temperament.

Jiang Wan let out a sigh.

No words were spoken.

She strode up to Zhan Chenfeng, squatted down, tapped his legs, and took his pulse.

Zhan Chenfeng tried to dodge awkwardly, but the woman gave him a warning look: "Hold him down."

Zhan Tingxiao actually put his hand on his brother's shoulder.

The tacit coordination of commands and actions made Zhan Chenfeng, who still wanted to struggle, calm down.

Zhan Tingxiao: "How is it?"

Jiang Wan: "It's a bit troublesome."

Zhan Tingxiao: "Can it be cured?"

"of course."

In fact, the hidden hint in Zhan Tingxiao's eyes was that he just hoped Jiang Wan could cheer up his big brother.

Even if it's just a white lie to make him stop thinking about the rest of his life temporarily.

However, Jiang Wan clapped her hands, stood up, and said with great confidence: "In one month, I can make you see improvement. In three months, I guarantee you will be fully recovered."

"laugh!"

Zhan Chenfeng sneered when he heard this.

"You are the new sister-in-law who tricked grandma into marrying my second brother, right?"

"..."

"Jiang Wan, I am disabled, not mentally retarded! The famous doctors that the Zhan family invites from all over the world at a high price every year are helpless against my legs. How dare you, an unknown little girl from a remote mountain village, say you can cure me?"

"Is it really bragging? Let's try and find out."

"No need."

Zhan Chenfeng only thought that she was invited to act as a lobbyist.

"Ah Xiao, it's ok for grandma to try all kinds of treatments out of desperation, but you also believe this naive talk?"

"Don't waste any more time. I know my own body well! Jiang Wan, thank you too. You and Xiao should go back together."

Zhan Chenfeng turned the wheelchair.

The fleeing figure in the backlight looked like a wounded and defeated wolf.

He is too tired.

Hopes come again and again, only to be disappointed again and again.

Even the strongest heart will be worn out by holes sooner or later.

He just wants to end it all now.

but--

"last chance!"

Behind the loneliness, a powerful voice came.

Jiang Wan stood under the bright light, staring at the weathered figure without blinking.
