Chapter 350: Cancer
Secrets are meant to be made public. If there is a secret that lasts a lifetime, it is the same as having no secret at all.

Just like everyone always thinks that a certain superstar will fall from grace, and his image and personality are all fake. But if he can pretend for a lifetime, then it is really true.

Rich people are afraid of death because they can enjoy life more than ordinary people.

Jiang Cheng had actually inadvertently demonstrated his ability to use space to people around him, but they were all relatives and trusted Jiang Cheng. In the early years, transportation was not well developed, and seafood such as sea fish, shrimps and shells could not be transported to the inland city of Changcheng.

With the completion of the expressway and the availability of various facilities, fresh seafood that is only available in inland cities can be found. But even so, some fresh seafood often needs to be booked in advance.

Jiang Cheng started bringing fresh seafood home in the 1970s, and Zhou Lingying just admired her man’s ability.

When Jiang Cheng’s children were young, he performed many “magic tricks”. But when Jiang Zhaozhao and her children grew up, they just thought that their father was young and hid the things behind his back, and they didn’t do anything magical at all.

Jiang Cheng himself is also contradictory. Sometimes he deliberately shows off his spatial ability, and sometimes he deliberately hides it.

Jiang Cheng’s space has always been able to store living things, including people. He tried it when someone was asleep, but considering the time difference, Jiang Cheng did not consider using the space to store people unless it was necessary.

If you put a person in a space, they have the ability to think and express. You can put a sleeping person in a space and release him after three days. The person will not notice anything. But he will be horrified to find that he has spent three days inexplicably.

If the person was not asleep, the time and place of release would be different, which would make it easier to expose Jiang Cheng’s golden finger. Therefore, Jiang Cheng did not think of using it on people unless he was in danger.

Maybe it’s true that good people don’t get good rewards, and evil will last for thousands of years. Zheng Ke has not been accompanying Jiang Cheng all these years. It was when Zhou Lingying knew about her and Shen Li’s existence that Jiang Cheng disappeared for a while, and then they were together for a period of time.

During that period, Zheng Ke really had no intention of doing any charity work, but in the following years, she would return to China in the two more comfortable seasons of spring and autumn to help people in need.

Zheng Ke’s life was at most lacking in the moral aspect between men and women, but he was really a very loving person. Although a lot of his love was wasted, such as donating money to build primary schools in some towns and villages in the early years, or donating money to repair primary schools.

However, due to the urbanization of the population, people without urban hukou cannot go to good schools, not to mention the school district housing that people in the city are fighting for.

Everyone is flocking to the cities, and most rural people are working outside the city. Even if they have money and cannot afford a house in the city, they will try to buy a house in the county town.

Many primary schools in rural areas had fewer and fewer students, and eventually they were simply abandoned. Many of Zheng Ke’s donations were wasted, but no matter what, it’s enough that some people benefited from it at a certain time.

After all, charity itself is something that is not rewarded, but no one wants their love to be discounted. When a school that I helped was abandoned, I would wonder if it was worth it, but I have never regretted it. If I had known that it would be abandoned, I might have thought of donating directly to poor students instead of building a school.

But no matter what, it is true that Zheng Ke is a kind-hearted person. In order to do charity work, even if he avoids the cold and summer seasons, he still cannot avoid the hard work and fatigue on the road.

Zheng Ke is only a few months younger than Zhou Lingying, but in her thirties, she looked younger than Zhou Lingying. When she was forty, when Zheng Ke was with Zhou Lingying and Shen Li, she looked like an older sister.

As a result, Jiang Cheng couldn’t treat Zhou Lingying equally. Although Shen Li was younger and followed Jiang Cheng, and lived a rich wife’s life in Hong Kong very early, some women are born beautiful, and it is impossible to infer according to common sense.

Although Zhou Lingying had many children and did a lot of housework, she always maintained a happy and contented attitude. Now in her forties, she seems to be about the same as Shen Li.

This resulted in Jiang Cheng rarely sleeping alone with Zheng Ke unless he was seeking excitement.

But we are all over fifty, and love has long since transformed into a family relationship of mutual support. It doesn’t matter if the other person is old or not good-looking.

No one expected that Zheng Ke would have health problems. In 2008, a major earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, China. The earthquake was no worse than the one in Tangshan. Zheng Ke led the charity fund team to Wenchuan to provide rear support after the earthquake.

Two months after Zheng Ke entered Wenchuan, Jiang Cheng received news that she was in a coma. When Jiang Cheng led his men there, Zheng Ke had already woken up and did not seem to have any major problems. However, the doctor privately gave Jiang Cheng Zheng Ke’s medical examination report, which showed the early stage of certain symptoms. He recommended that she go to a large hospital in Sijiucheng for some treatment.

Because the symptoms are in the early stages, the doctor said the chances of cure are still quite high. However, even if the chance is 50%, Jiang Cheng is not willing to take the chance.

In Jiang Cheng’s opinion, he must give Zheng Ke a higher chance of recovery. If the current treatment conditions and technology are not enough, Jiang Cheng plans to use his own abilities to try. His space has no special functions except for putting things in it and making them still.

But being able to make living things stop in space is already a god-level ability. The current treatment conditions may not have a high success rate, but what about the treatment technology and conditions in 20 years?

Just like minimally invasive surgery, isn’t it also a better medical method achieved through high-tech equipment? When it first came out, the doctors who could perform minimally invasive surgery and the technology in this area were not very good.

In later generations, many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are no longer considered major surgeries.

The doctor gave Zheng Ke two treatment options. One was to have surgery as soon as possible, the earlier the better. The other was to try traditional Chinese medicine for conservative treatment. Both options had their pros and cons.

In Western medicine, if it succeeds, as long as there is no recurrence, it may be effective immediately. But if it fails, it will deteriorate very quickly because the treatment process is physically damaging, such as chemotherapy which is unavoidable.

Conservative treatment, Chinese medicine can not guarantee that it can cure cancer, if the effect is not good, it will delay the best time for treatment. After all, Zheng Ke is now in his fifties, and his body immunity and various functions are not as good as those of young people.

But now Jiang Cheng wants to use the medical technology of the next twenty years to increase Zheng Ke’s chances of treatment. Of course, the prerequisite is that he can live for twenty years. However, according to his physical condition, as long as he does not get cancer, he will have no problem living to seventy-five years old.

It’s just that there’s no problem letting Zheng Ke disappear for twenty years, but Zheng Ke has a daughter, and she has to know everything. And twenty years apart, by then it will be the era of digital payment, and someone will have to teach Zheng Ke everything.

Moreover, Jiang Cheng, Shen Li and Zhou Lingying might all be elderly people with white hair by then, and Zheng Ke was only fifty years old, so they didn’t know how to get along with each other.

Jiang Cheng has his own islands. Some small islands have no development and strategic significance, and in many places they are sold to wealthy people for leisure and entertainment.

When Zheng Ke was in the early stages of cancer, Jiang Cheng took his men directly to the island. Building a villa on an island is not cheap, and many building materials have to be transported at high prices.

Jiang Cheng called all his children together, and treated his niece Jiang Juan as his own daughter. She would come to visit Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying every year. So this time, Jiang Cheng also called Jiang Juan to come.

“Brother Cheng, are you going to let Sister Zheng recuperate on this island? In Hong Kong, although Xiaoyue’s husband is a dentist, he also knows some excellent surgeons. We can ask them to come here to perform surgery.” Shen Li asked.

“No, there are some things I have been hiding from you for more than 30 years. I plan to confess to you.” Jiang Cheng said to the people around him.

Jiang Cheng is now with his three women, and he did not hide Zheng Ke’s illness from her, although the hospital did not tell her about it when they picked her up from Wenchuan.

It is very strange that a healthy person dies soon after learning about his illness. But if he does not know about it, he can eat and drink well and live for many years.

Moreover, some people, after learning that they have cancer, take life and death lightly and miraculously live for many years.

However, cancer is usually hidden from patients only when they are in the middle or late stages, while in the early stages they are actively treated.

Zheng Ke knew that he had cancer. Even if it was in the early stages, the chances of being cured through surgery were quite high, but he still couldn’t be cheerful.

Zheng Ke was also confused now. The Jiang family’s wealth was enough to allow her to go abroad for treatment and invite top experts from all over the world, but why did they bring her to this private island?
