One-Click Upgrade: Super Decomposition System

Chapter 240 - What Exactly Happened to Uncle?

Using the system, Jiang Hao quietly infused Jiang Guoqing with a bottle of Vital Essence. Without delay, he produced a super bone-setting plaster from his pocket and applied it to the wound. Once he removed the Icy Jade Needle, he tore a clean cloth from his clothing, wiped away the blood, and skillfully bandaged the injury.

Tian Cuicui, unsure of Jiang Hao's medical expertise but impressed by the precision of his movements and the nine Icy Jade Needles, couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. With no one else around, she had no choice but to trust Jiang Hao, though she was visibly concerned as he finished bandaging.

“Hao Hao, is that it? Is your uncle okay now?” Tian Cuicui asked anxiously.

Jiang Hao reassured her, “Auntie, there's no need to worry. I've treated Uncle Guoqing's wound with my special medicine. He'll be waking up any minute now. He fainted due to excessive blood loss, physical exhaustion, and mental strain.”

Relieved by Jiang Hao's explanation, Tian Cuicui watched as Jiang Guoqing's eyelids began to flutter, and he slowly regained consciousness. She exclaimed with joy, “Ah! He's awake! He's awake! Boss, are you okay?”

Jiang Guoqing, coming to, slowly sat up and looked around, remembering that Jiang Hao had caught him as he collapsed. “Hao Hao, was it you who saved me?” he asked.

Jiang Hao nodded in confirmation. Despite his many questions, he was aware of the encroaching darkness and the need for safety. “Uncle Guoqing, Auntie, it's getting dark and it's not safe here. Let's head home and we can talk there.”

?Prompted by Jiang Hao, a sense of urgency washed over Jiang Guoqing and Tian Cuicui. Fear painted their faces as they quickly rose to their feet. “Right, let's get home, quickly!”

?Together, Jiang Hao and Tian Cuicui helped Jiang Guoqing down the mountain in haste.

?After dropping Jiang Guoqing off at home, Jiang Hao lingered, intending to find out exactly what had transpired.

In the room, Jiang Guoqing was seated on the kang, resting against the wall, while Tian Cuicui had gone to change her clothes.

Jiang Hao took a seat at the edge of the kang, observing Jiang Guoqing's silent demeanor. Eventually, his curiosity got the better of him, and he inquired,

“Uncle Guoqing, what happened to you? Why do you look so disheveled?”

Jiang Guoqing glanced at Jiang Hao, his eyes brimming with complex emotions. After a brief pause, he began to explain.

“Yesterday, your aunt found out that Uncle An had unearthed some wild ginseng and traded it for five hundred thousand yuan at your place. She became jealous, convinced that there was more ginseng to be found on the mountain.

She was set on ginseng hunting, despite my initial objections, as it's really just a stroke of luck.

But your aunt was persistent. She even asked you about the price of wild ginseng. When she told me about it, I foolishly let myself be swayed and agreed!”

At this point, Jiang Guoqing gave Jiang Hao another look.

Feeling somewhat awkward, Jiang Hao self-consciously touched his nose.

How did this become my concern?

Jiang Guoqing then went on.

“We headed into the mountains early this morning and roamed around for a long while. We did come across some wild ginseng, but they were all too small.

I was ready to call it quits, but your aunt refused. She insisted on searching the untouched forest beneath Eagle Beak Cliff.”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao's brow furrowed in concern.

“Uncle An, you went into the virgin forest under Eagle Beak Cliff?”
