Tang Mian reached into his shirt pocket, looking bewildered. His two thick eyebrows were furrowed together as if tying a knot.
Without much hesitation, he took out the things from his pocket and became even more dumbfounded.
Spread out in the palm of his hand were five rough talismans that looked like the ones sold at roadside stalls, along with a strange yellow pill. He instinctively felt that the pill was meant for his grandfather, and among the shoddily made talismans, one of them must be for him.
But the question was, who gave him these things?! His shirt was brand new! There was nothing inside when he came! Could it be that he encountered a ghost in broad daylight?!
Just as Tang Mian was about to explode his brain while touching the back of his head, his phone rang.
Tang Mian immediately jumped up and answered the call.
“Hello?”
A somewhat familiar voice came from the other end, “Hey, Tang bro, it’s me, Fatty.”
Tang Mian’s face instantly changed, and he instinctively lowered his voice, “Did you contact Fish Head?”
Zhou Api replied according to Mo Yang’s instructions, “The boss rushed to the hospital directly because he was extremely worried about our Grandpa’s health. He said he saw you at the hospital and put the talismans and the pill directly into your pocket. Remember to give the pill to Grandpa, and both you and Grandpa should wear a talisman to prevent further harm.”
Tang Mian almost shouted out, but managed to hold back with great effort, “Is that idiot trying to get himself killed? How dare he come to the hospital at a time like this?! And when did he put those things in my pocket? I had no idea! Damn it, did he become a fugitive and train his pickpocketing skills?”
Zhou Api chuckled inwardly, thinking that indeed he had become quite adept at reaching out. The Boss can definitely take on ten of you alone now.
“Also, the boss said not to let anyone else know about this. Just come up with any excuse to appease everyone. After you give the pill to Grandpa, he should wake up, and you don’t have to worry about anything else. He will take care of the person who harmed Grandpa. Explaining the details of this matter would be troublesome. We’ll explain it later when we have the time.”
Listening to this familiar tone, Tang Mian’s teeth ached. As expected, Fish Head hadn’t run away. The way he spoke and his attitude was as infuriating as ever.
“Okay, I got it. Ask him for me, how long does he plan to stay outside? Uncle Mo’s matter will have a resolution soon. Isn’t he planning to come back? Self-surrender can reduce the sentence.”
Zhou Api thought for a moment and replied cautiously, “Well, the boss is currently leading us in saving the world, so he may not be able to return in the short term. But you have to trust the boss, he definitely hasn’t gone astray.”

After stuffing the pill, Tang Mian found that his hands were shaking.
Although he had confirmed several times that Fatty knew Fish Head, he still feared that something unexpected might happen. If that Fatty was an enemy, what he did today could end up killing his grandfather.
Just as Tang Mian was anxiously and wildly speculating, he suddenly noticed a faint movement of his grandfather’s fingers. He instantly widened his eyes and grabbed his grandfather’s hand, “Grandpa?! Are you awake? Open your eyes and look at me!”
Tang Mian’s call made the two nurse aunties in the room and the soldiers outside quickly turn their heads. The two nurse aunties hurried over, and just in time, they saw Old Tang slightly opening his eyes.
They joyfully exclaimed, “he has really woken up!”
Tang Mian was so excited that he immediately blew two bubbles of snot. He looked at his grandfather, whose mouth was moving slowly, and quickly leaned over, putting his ear close to hear what the old man was saying: “I…seem to have seen Yang Yang…”
Tang Mian’s eyes instantly turned red, and he whispered in his grandfather’s ear, “You’re amazing! It was Yang Yang who brought the medicine that cured you. Yang Yang also brought talismans.”
With those words, a deeply contented smile appeared on Old Tang’s face. He had felt trapped in a place filled with evil spirits, unable to escape. Just when he felt immobilized, he suddenly felt a release throughout his body, as if all the demons and monsters clinging to him had been driven away.
Then he heard Yang Yang’s voice as if the little guy was angrily vowing to seek revenge for him. But when he opened his eyes, he knew that it was just an illusion.
He missed that child so much. The impulsive child who had taken it upon himself to avenge his sins.
But hearing what his grandson said, Old Tang was truly happy. His grandson wouldn’t deceive him just to make him happy. So, that impulsive little rascal had truly come here.
Hey, that brat, it’s good that he still remembers his grandpa.
“But he said he has something very important to finish and can’t come back to surrender for the time being. Don’t worry or get angry, and take good care of your health. Visit him when it’s time for a prison visit.” Tang Mian, unwilling to let Mo Yang’s words about saving the world be the last, added a sentence. Then he received an all-knowing glare from his grandfather.
By this time, the attending doctors and experts had arrived for a consultation. They all wore surprised expressions. The sudden collapse of Old Tang and his sudden awakening had left them puzzled. They had exhausted all methods but couldn’t find the cause of the old man’s collapse. They had expected to be reprimanded by higher-ups, but now the old man had woken up on his own.
They quickly performed various examinations on the old man and found that, apart from a bit of weakness, his body had no problems and was slowly recovering.
Feng Xingyao, one of the attending doctors, looked at the recorded data of the old man’s body and became increasingly shocked. The speed at which his body had weakened before and now recovered was simply unscientific!
Due to the unscientific nature of it, the doctors strongly insisted that the old man remain hospitalized for observation.
Feng Xingyao, 31 years old, becoming an attending doctor at Hospital 101 at his age meant he was also a medical genius. Feng Xingyao had a good relationship with Tang Mian, so after hesitating for an entire afternoon, he privately approached Tang Mian and discussed the issues with his grandfather’s health.
Finally, Feng Xingyao concluded: “I think this is unscientific. There must be some unknown means of harm and treatment used on your grandfather. It’s absolutely impossible for someone to weaken and then recover so quickly without reason. You’ve been by your grandfather’s side all along, have you noticed anything unusual?”
Tang Mian: “…” Yes, I did notice. It’s the unidentified yellow pill my friend gave me. But can I tell you?
So, he took out the talisman that looked like it cost at most five yuan. “Does the protective talisman I got from the temple count? My grandfather is wearing it.”
Dr. Feng: “…Are you mocking my IQ or your own EQ?”
Tang Mian rolled his eyes. “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. Anyway, I think it’s a curse! Talismans can dispel any curse! Alright, I’m going to accompany my grandfather now and, by the way, curse that garbage person who cursed my grandfather!”
And then Tang Mian left, leaving the young and promising Dr. Feng with a frustrated expression.
Meanwhile, the investigation team closely monitoring the Zhao Guoxiang household suddenly discovered that something had happened in Zhao Guoxiang’s family. It seemed that Zhao Meng, Zhao Guoxiang’s nephew, suddenly fainted and was urgently taken out of the Zhao family’s villa by his family, heading straight for the First Hospital.
These days, Zhao Guoxiang, who had remained calm even when under investigation, showed a rare sign of nervousness and even fear. He personally accompanied his nephew to the hospital, making the members of the surveillance team almost think that Zhao Meng was Zhao Guoxiang’s own son.
However, it turned out to be a false alarm. While in the hospital, Zhao Meng, who had been unconscious for a few hours, suddenly opened his eyes and adamantly refused to stay in the hospital, requesting to go back home. After careful questioning by Zhao Guoxiang and going along with his wishes, they took him back home.
“Team leader, there’s something strange about this Zhao Meng and his relationship with Zhao Guoxiang.” Lutao, a member of the investigation team, looked at their team leader.
Zhang Jing, in his forties, had a righteous face and sharp gaze. He nodded and shook his head at the words, “Perhaps that Zhao Meng does indeed have a problem, but our target is Zhao Guoxiang. Don’t deviate from the plan. Qishuang has already confessed. Once we obtain the evidence at the right time, we will directly apprehend Zhao Guoxiang. As for that Zhao Meng, we’ll leave him to Xiao Song.”
Lutao nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, in the study of the Zhao family, Zhao Guoxiang looked worried and somber as he asked Zhao Meng, “Mengzi, what happened to you earlier? Were you cursed by someone?”
With a darkened expression, Zhao Meng, feeling his body growing weaker and weaker, clenched his teeth and swallowed another curse-relief pill, which provided some relief.
“That old man Tang also has Dream World players!! And his level and strength are not inferior to mine. The Level 3 Life Curse Card I used was already expensive, but he actually countered me with a Reverse Curse Card, indicating that he has plenty of Dream Coins.”
“Uncle! We can’t make a move against Old Tang now. You have to find another way to escape.”
Zhao Guoxiang, who had just been guided into the Dream World by his nephew and had yet to find his advantageous life skills in the Dream World, had low mental power and basic physical strength. Upon hearing his nephew’s words, his face turned unpleasant.
He had thought that he could silently eliminate Old Tang with this magical item and then use some magical cards to extract himself. But in the end, it turned out to be a futile effort.
He might have to flee the country. How could this be? Zhao Guoxiang frowned tightly, “Are there no other options?”
Zhao Meng shook his head, “Not for now. At least, not yet. My level is not high enough to purchase high-level card props.”
Zhao Guoxiang sighed. Since there was no other way, he would have to rely on his own methods.
Three days later, when Mo Yang caught three premium Jinli Carp in the Dream World’s fish pond, he received a direct call from Zhou Api.
“Boss! Look at the news! Zhao Guoxiang has fled!”
Mo Yang squinted his eyes instantly and exited the Dream World.
