The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a hurried and loud voice. Even Xu Zixi could clearly hear the content on the phone.
Yan Yincheng's face changed slightly. Xu Zixi couldn't help but stand up from the ground.
"Okay, I'll rush over immediately." Yan Yincheng replied.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Xu Zixi, Yan Haikun, and Yin Shulan, "Mr. Tang is critically ill and wants to see me. I have to rush to Country A right away. Zixi, you take the kids back to Haicheng first."
But Xu Zixi said, "No, Brother Cheng, I'll go with you." Her tone was extremely firm.
"Wherever you go, you, me, and the two kids, we should always be together."
Zai Zai also said, "Daddy, don't leave Baby and Mommy behind."
Yan Yincheng immediately said, "Okay, then let's go together!"
They stayed in Fengcheng for another half - day to go through the exit formalities. In the evening, Yan Yincheng took Xu Zixi and the two kids and boarded a plane bound for Texas.
The plane had to cross the ocean to reach the other hemisphere. The flight time was very long. Due to the time difference, the kids fell asleep soon after getting on the plane.
However, Yan Yincheng couldn't fall asleep at all. Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Xu Zixi held his hand and leaned her head on his shoulder, saying,
"Brother Cheng, what are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"
Intertwining his fingers with hers, Yan Yincheng said, "I'm thinking about the question you once pondered when Yuan Ya'er was pregnant."
Their arrival had a great impact on the original operating trajectory of this world.
For example, the Pei Group didn't go bankrupt, and the Zhao criminal gang was all brought to justice. "City of Hope" would become a much - watched tourism project under the joint efforts of the two of them.
Another example was that Yuan Ya'er was jailed, and the Yuan family went bankrupt. These were all things that didn't happen in the previous life.
But the chain reaction caused by the flapping of the butterfly's wings was not limited to this.
Yan Zhen suddenly died while saving someone, and Tang Qian - his godfather - although he also died from a fall in the previous life, the time of his death in this life was several years earlier.
He originally thought... at that time node, as long as he called Texas and asked the nanny and the housekeeper to keep a closer eye on him at night, he would surely be able to help the old man avoid this disaster. Everything would still be in time.
But who would have known...
Xu Zixi could understand his feeling of being at a loss and even a bit regretful, just like she thought Yan Zhen's death was related to her. Yan Yincheng also blamed himself for Mr. Tang's failure to escape this calamity.
She gently comforted him, "Brother Cheng, since history has already changed, it won't always follow the trajectory of the previous life. The occurrence of things that neither of us can predict further proves that we are alive in this world, right?"
"So, don't blame yourself or be sad. When we arrive in Houston, accompany Mr. Tang well in his last journey, okay?"
Yan Yincheng placed a gentle kiss on their clasped hands and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Taking advantage of the long flight time, Yan Yincheng introduced his godfather to Xu Zixi in detail.
Tang Qian, formerly known as Bai Shu, was born into a medical family in Country C. He was very skilled in medicine. He was originally the definite heir of the Bai family. However, due to the jealousy of his brothers in the clan, they deliberately set a trap for him to treat a big shot. The illness was very difficult to treat. He had studied it painstakingly for a long time and also made a treatment plan with the patient.
On the day of the operation, on his way to the hospital, he learned the news that his wife and child had been kidnapped. At that moment, he was facing the most difficult choice in his life -
Should he go to the hospital to continue his operation or choose to save his wife and child?
Finally, he chose to abide by the agreement and went to the hospital to complete his operation.
But because he was too worried about his wife and child, he couldn't concentrate. This operation ultimately failed due to his mistake.
Without having time to explain to the patient's family, after leaving the hospital, he rushed to the place the kidnappers had agreed with him. Who would have known that what he saw were two badly - mutilated corpses.
His choice made him lose his beloved ones.
Since that day, his life had fallen to the bottom.
He not only couldn't inherit the family business anymore, but was also fired by the hospital and suffered fierce revenge from the patient's family. Finally, he had to immigrate to Texas with his trusted subordinates, change his name, and start a new life.
The new environment made him regain his enthusiasm for learning medicine. His talent allowed him to quickly grow into an outstanding ophthalmologist here and gain great prestige locally. He established his own medical team.
When he became active in the international medical community again and achieved such great success, the Bai family members who had once spurned him regretted it.
But it was too late. He would never return to Country C again because he had lost his beloved ones there.
When Yan Yincheng was 6 years old, Yin Shulan took him to Texas to seek treatment from Tang Qian for his eyes.
At that time, little Yan Yincheng had a serious face and looked very unhappy. This child from the East like him touched the long - sealed string in his heart.
Out of affection, regardless of Yan Yincheng's resistance, he picked him up and placed him on his lap to tease him. Maybe it was like this that made people mistakenly think that Yan Yincheng was his child. So a peer who had a dispute with him sent someone to kidnap Yan Yincheng while he was having an operation.
This familiar experience almost drove Tang Qian crazy. This time, he chose to abandon the operation and rushed to save Yan Yincheng.
Although he saved the child in time, Yan Yincheng's shoulder was accidentally injured by a bullet.
Tang Qian personally performed the operation to remove the bullet from Yan Yincheng. After confirming that the child was okay, he solemnly apologized to Yin Shulan and proposed to adopt Yan Yincheng as his godson.
This child had endured pain that he shouldn't have. So Tang Qian really wanted to treat him as his own child and be kind to him with all his might.
Although Yin Shulan was very angry that Yan Yincheng's life was affected by Tang Qian's personal feud, a condition proposed by the other party tempted her.
Tang Qian said that Yan Yincheng's perception was very sharp and he was very smart. He had a very powerful brain. However, if he couldn't get the right guidance, his talents would disappear as he grew older and he would eventually become an ordinary person.
Therefore, Yin Shulan agreed to Tang Qian's request and began to let Yan Yincheng train his perception with Tang Qian.
At first, Yan Haikun disagreed when he learned this news. But when Yan Yincheng gradually showed his extraordinary five - sense talents, improved the first formula for the Yan family, and achieved great success in the market, Yan Haikun acquiesced to the fact that his child had recognized someone else as his godfather.
Yan Yincheng spent much more time with Tang Qian than with Yan Haikun.
In addition to teaching him how to make better use of his perception, Tang Qian also ran around everywhere to find a way to treat Yan Yincheng's eyes. Yan Yincheng had always been very grateful to him.
But over the years, Tang Qian had tried countless times and still couldn't cure Yan Yincheng. This was also the biggest regret in his heart.
After listening to Tang Qian's legend, Xu Zixi couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems that this Mr. Tang is really an extraordinary person."
Then she felt a bit regretful. "It's a pity that he is now on his deathbed. Otherwise, I really want to discuss medical knowledge with him."
"There are a lot of materials on this aspect in his manor. If you like, we'll move them all back to Haicheng. Don't worry, the old man will surely not object." Yan Yincheng said with a smile as he stroked Xu Zixi's hair.
Xu Zixi coughed lightly. "I can't accept this."
Suddenly remembering a certain thought of hers before, she hooked Yan Yincheng's finger and said, "Brother Cheng, since we're already here, how about we investigate Xiong Han in Country A again?"
