Grandma.

"You know where, Grandma." Wang Yong dropped his bag and stretched his arm exhaustedly. He had never lied or hid anything from his grandma and wasn't planning to start now.

"You are working for Kúiwù? Didn't I tell you to stop already? Kúiwù is a dangerous man!" Grandma Fan shook her head sadly, standing up with the support of her cane to go away.

Wang Yong stopped her when he saw the disappointment in her sad eyes and quickly knelt down, hugging her frail legs as he said. "But he has been so nice to me! And he has always protected us from bad people! Why don't you like him?"

The old woman sighed as she used the cane to push him away from her. "You won't understand. Its best you don't know anything. I am so hungry, go and make me food."

The boy quickly got up and raced to the kitchen leaving her behind. "Don't worry! Food will be served in thirty minutes!"

"Thirty minutes? Are you planning to make me noodles?!" Grandma Fan's eyes widened.

"Of course not!"

Wang Yong spent ten minutes researching on how to make chicken and ginger congee when he saw a boy in white peeking at his phone from over his shoulder. The boy tutted when he saw the phone.

"Are you planning on killing our grandma through food poisoning?"

Mingli passed the apron to him. "How about I make it instead?"

"F*uck off, Mingli!" Wang Yong grabbed the pot before he could touch it. "I told you to stop touching things. I will make it instead!"

Mingli froze and retreated to a corner when he remembered something, watching them quietly. Wang Yong gently tapped his shoulder to comfort him and said. "Don't worry, I promise I will cook it well. There is no need to be worried."

"Okay." Mingli finally smiled.

After a while, he had finished cooking and had served the congee in a bowl walking out of the kitchen to give his grandma when he saw her sleeping on the chair.

Her posture is a little awkward, he thought when he saw her bend her neck abnormally and the cane in her hand about to fall. He tapped her softly but she didn't wake up.

He was about to give her a second tap when he saw Mingli appear nervously saying. "Hurry! Take her to the hospital!"

"What do you mean?"

"She is dying! Take her to the hospital!" Mingli wished he could touch her but he was just a ghost who couldn't do anything. If he tried to touch her, she will surely die by the touch of death.

Wang Yong quickly took her to the nearest hospital, waiting for the doctor to tell him what was going to happen to his grandma. He didn't speak to anyone when his friends, Bai Du and Fu Pei came to meet him in the midnight.

They saw him talking to himself with their eyes full of complicated emotions. Bai Du and Fu Pei leaned on the walls of the hospital facing each other and sharing cigarettes from time to time. They hide it when they saw the nurses pass them with their faces full of displeasure.

The doctor finally came out with bad news. "Your grandmother is suffering from stage 3 colorectal cancer. We need to perform a surgery called partial colectomy followed by chemotherapy."

Fu Pei asked the doctor. "How much is it going to cost?"

The doctor finally looked at the boys when he heard them ask that question. He was taken aback by their appearance but years of experience helped him maintain a calm face in front of them. "We can't do that here. We have to take her to a specialist hospital in Beijing. I would recommend you to someone I know there."

Wang Yong followed the doctor to his office and watched the doctor writes down a number on the paper then pass it to him. He said. "If we fail to take her to a hospital, how long does she have left?"

The doctor sighed and responded. "Less than a year."

Instead of staying at home or accompanying his grandmother to the hospital, Wang Yong immediately went back to the warehouse of Dark Heart Organization.

He knew he was breaking the rules, coming back after delivering a package but he didn't care. Instead, he went straight to his Godfather's office but it was locked. A man walked up to him and asked him. "What are you doing here?"

"Where is Godfather?" He asked Kong Zhu who had gone back to the warehouse a long time ago.

"He has gone. Gone on a trip." Kong Zhu noted that Wang Yong was slightly out of breath.

"When is he coming back? I need to talk to him."

Kong Zhu felt sour when he remembered what his Godfather did to him because of Wang Yong, making him turn his head away. "I don't know. He said that no one should contact him."

"Please help me contact him. As his heir, I know only you can do that." Wang Yong stared at his god brother who looked reluctant to help him.

"Ah, junior brother. You should know the rules. I can't disobey them. Have you remembered what Godfather did to me when I disobeyed them?" He said haughtily, his eyes looking sideways at him.

He felt his heart burst with joy when Wang Yong suddenly dropped to his knees, kneeling on the floor as he said expressionlessly. "I have wronged Senior Brother. Please forgive me."

By then, Tiger Gang members ad witnessed the scene along with the rest of the organization. Some of them who couldn't take it said. "Boss, why are you suddenly apologizing? You did nothing wrong!"

"Yes! If we hadn't found you at the time he forced you to do that drug testing, you would have died long time ago!" Another guy supported.

"Shut up!" Wang Yong shouted at his gang, causing them to go quiet. He turned to Kong Zhu and begged. "Please call him for me. I need his help to save my Grandma."

"Grandma?" Kong Zhu asked.

"She is dying. And we need money to move her to Beijing! We need his help!" Bai Due shouted, suppressing his rage and urge to beat Kong Zhu black and blue.

Kong Zhu stayed silent for a while and eventually said. "Money? Who in this organization does not know that your parents are rich? Why don't you go and meet them instead?"

"You!" Bai Du was about to attack him when he was stopped by Fu Pei who watched them with a solemn face.

"Junior Brother, I wish I can help you but rules are rules and I can't afford to break them. Don't worry, I will pray for her recovery." Kong Zhu kept a helpless and pained look but his eyes betrayed his satisfaction at Wang Yong's misery.

"You freaking piece of shit! You will regret this!". Bai Du started struggling again but Wang Yong merely stood up and walked away, making them follow him out of the warehouse.

As they walked away, Fu Pei looked at Wang Yong who just stared straight ahead. "What do we do now?"

Wang Yong stopped, his fingers disarranging his wild black hair in frustration. He turned to them and said.

"We are going to meet Mommy and Daddy."
