Chapter 5

Thinking about the possibility of building a good relationship with the top official in the province in a few years, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a bit excited. However, he was also clear that he absolutely could not show any sign of happiness, so he said somewhat shyly, "Mr. Zhao..."

Before Jiang Ping could finish his sentence, Zhao Guoquan interrupted him, "Don't call me Mr. Zhao, that's too formal! I should be a bit older than your father. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Zhao."

Jiang Ping, of course, had no objections. Being able to call the future top official in the province "Uncle" was a privilege not everyone could have, so he immediately responded, "Uncle Zhao, please don't take this to heart. It was just a coincidence that I came across it, and of course, I couldn't just ignore it."

"A coincidence... couldn't just ignore it." Zhao Guoquan sighed, "In this world, there aren't many young people with a heart as good as yours! By the way, leave me your contact information so we can stay in touch in the future."

Jiang Ping, of course, wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and immediately gave Zhao Guoquan his home phone number. Zhao Guoquan carefully wrote down the number and was about to say something more to Jiang Ping when a nurse hurried over from the direction of the emergency room.

"Who is Li Li's family?" the nurse asked urgently, "Come with me quickly, he's not doing well!"

Zhao Guoquan's face changed, and he quickly said to Jiang Ping, "Xiao Jiang, I need to go and see what's happening!"

Knowing that the Li Li the nurse was referring to was Zhao Guoquan's son-in-law, Jiang Ping immediately said, "Uncle Zhao, go quickly, I'm fine."

"Alright, let's keep in touch!" Zhao Guoquan nodded at Jiang Ping and hurriedly followed the nurse away.

With Zhao Guoquan gone and Zhao Wanqing just out of the operating room, Jiang Ping felt there was no need for him to stay. He calculated that his father should be arriving soon, so he decided to wait for him at the hospital entrance.

Jiang Ping waited at the hospital entrance for a short while and saw his father, Jiang Jianhua, rushing over. At this moment, Jiang Jianhua was in his prime, with a straight back and a quick, agile gait, very different from the father in Jiang Ping's memories who had been in prison for over a decade and looked old and haggard.

Seeing his father, who looked twenty years younger than in his memories, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He waved to the anxious Jiang Jianhua and then walked up to him, giving his father a firm hug.

Knowing that his son had been in a car accident, Jiang Jianhua was extremely worried. Seeing that Jiang Ping was fine, he finally felt relieved. However, he didn't expect Jiang Ping to hug him. In Jiang Jianhua's memory, his son hadn't been this close to him in a long time, so he was a bit surprised.

But Jiang Jianhua quickly realized that after experiencing a car accident, such behavior was understandable. In fact, Jiang Jianhua didn't mind Jiang Ping's actions and was secretly pleased that his son was still so close to him.

Jiang Jianhua patted Jiang Ping's back lightly and asked softly, "Son, are you okay?"

Taking the opportunity to hug his father, Jiang Ping calmed down and smiled, nodding, "The doctor has examined me, and there's nothing wrong."

Although Jiang Jianhua had guessed that his son was fine when he saw him, hearing it from his son's mouth still made him nod in relief, "That's good, that's good!"

Seeing his father's happy face, Jiang Ping felt a warm feeling in his heart and said softly, "I'm sorry, Dad, for making you come all the way here."

Jiang Jianhua laughed, "You silly child, as long as our family is safe and sound, what's the big deal about me coming here?"

Jiang Ping's heart stirred at his father's words and deliberately emphasized, "You're right, the safety of the whole family is the most important!"

Jiang Jianhua had rushed over in a hurry and was relieved to know that his son was fine. On their way back to the scene of the accident to retrieve Jiang Ping's bicycle, Jiang Ping briefly recounted the events to his father. However, he didn't mention that he had deliberately rushed over to save someone; he just said that he happened to be there and helped save Zhao Wanqing and her daughter.

Jiang Jianhua, being a kind and honest person, didn't oppose his son's actions but repeatedly reminded him to consider his own safety first in the future. This was a natural concern for a parent, and Jiang Ping, of course, agreed, promising his father that he would never risk his life.

On the way, Jiang Jianhua also asked Jiang Ping why he wasn't at school that morning and why he was at that intersection. Jiang Ping made up a reason, saying he had gone to a nearby Xinhua Bookstore to buy reference books and just happened to be passing by when the accident occurred.

For Jiang Jianhua, the most important thing was that his son was safe, so he didn't dwell on these details. Because he thought Jiang Ping had just been "shocked," Jiang Jianhua decided to take the day off and stay home to spend more time with his son.

For Jiang Ping, his father's decision was exactly what he wanted. He wanted to stay by his father's side to prevent anyone from persuading him to take the blame for Qian Jing as they did in his previous life.

When they returned home, Jiang Ping stopped Jiang Jianhua before they entered and said, "Dad, don't tell Mom and my sister about what happened today."

Jiang Jianhua asked curiously, "Why?"

Jiang Ping replied, "I'm fine now, and telling them would just make them worry unnecessarily. It's really not necessary."

Jiang Jianhua's face lit up with a smile, and he said approvingly, "Yes, my son has grown up and is thinking about the family. Alright, I'll do as you say!"

For Jiang Ping, who had the soul of an adult, such praise was a bit amusing. He excused himself, saying he wanted to rest, and went to his room.

After gently locking the door, Jiang Ping lay on the bed, thinking about what to do next. With his intervention, the possibility of his father taking the blame for Qian Jing had significantly decreased. The biggest crisis Jiang Ping now faced was his sister Jiang Wei's illness.

According to Jiang Ping's memories from his previous life, his sister would be diagnosed with acute leukemia in half a year. Although his blood type matched his sister's, allowing him to be a bone marrow donor, the Jiang family, with his father already in prison, couldn't afford the huge surgery costs. So, Jiang Ping and his mother could only watch helplessly as his sister suffered from the disease and eventually passed away at a young age.

Since he had a second chance, Jiang Ping was determined not to let the tragedy of his previous life repeat itself. He quickly decided that the most important thing now was to find a way to earn money so that he could treat his sister as soon as she fell ill.

With his immediate goal set, Jiang Ping's thoughts turned to the strange phenomenon he had seen before the accident. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it left a deep impression on him. Jiang Ping was sure it wasn't just his imagination but something that had actually happened. However, he didn't yet understand the meaning of this strange phenomenon.

"If it's a side effect of being reborn, why did I see different colors for that family of three?" Jiang Ping thought to himself as he lay on the bed, "This suggests that the light appearing on each person's forehead might be related to them, but I can't figure out exactly what that relationship is."

Jiang Ping thought for a long time but made no progress, so his thoughts returned to the car accident that morning. He already knew that Li Li was unlikely to survive this time and couldn't help but sigh, "If only I had the ability to predict the future, then this sudden phenomenon wouldn't have affected my decision to save him... Wait, predict the future?!"

At this thought, Jiang Ping's mind suddenly lit up, and he sat up involuntarily.
