Chapter 1399 - 1399: Qian Shaoyuan's Major Discovery

"Dada-dada-dada-dada..."

The sound of the helicopter rotors grew nearer and nearer.

A beam of light shone on the ground, enveloping Xiao Feng and Yao Qianxue, surrounding them in a brightness like daylight.

Yao Qianxue took the grilled fish off the fire and handed it to Xiao Feng: "Want to try it?"

Xiao Feng smiled as he took it, blew on it by his mouth, took a bite, and savored it carefully. Then he gave a thumbs-up and said, "The taste is quite good, you've truly learned my skills."

Hearing this, Yao Qianxue smiled and looked up at the approaching helicopter without saying a word.

Before long, a voice shouted from above.

"Brother Xiao Feng, it's Gong Kaishan. Walk 200 meters north, and I'll lower the rope ladder."

Xiao Feng raised his right hand, made a "received" gesture, supported his knees with both hands, stood up, extinguished the fire, and looked at Yao Qianxue, saying, "Let's go."

Yao Qianxue nodded slightly, took out her phone, and snapped a photo of the extinguished fire before turning to leave.

Two minutes later, the helicopter slowly descended. As it reached an appropriate height, the cabin door opened, and a rope ladder appeared, about a meter from the ground.

"You go up first," Xiao Feng said indifferently.

Yao Qianxue didn't refuse, agreed with a sound, and was the first to climb the ladder.

Once she was up, Xiao Feng stepped onto the rope ladder, using both hands and feet, climbing very swiftly.

In comparison, his speed was at least three times faster than Yao Qianxue's.

The rope ladder retracted, the cabin door closed, and the helicopter ascended, flying toward the city center.

To Xiao Feng's relief, the helicopter only carried Gong Kaishan and Qian Shaoyuan.

If Hua Ling or Li Ying were here, it would be hard to say if this helicopter could still land safely...

Before long, Xiao Feng's gaze turned to the instrument panel in the front row, and his mind couldn't help but become active.

Having gotten into a car accident, flying a helicopter shouldn't be a problem... right?

To be honest, Xiao Feng thought that with his current wealth, buying a private plane wasn't excessive.

If he couldn't drive a car, he needed some form of transportation, after all.

But after considering, Xiao Feng still suppressed his eager feelings.

After all, a helicopter is different from a car; history has proven that every time he was rear-ended while driving, it was thrilling but not truly dangerous.

But if a helicopter were to be rear-ended, that would be hard to say.

So life comes first; it's better to talk about it later.

"Brother Xiao Feng, what's going on with you?" Gong Kaishan turned his head and asked.

Beside him, Qian Shaoyuan also wondered, "From the taste, did you fall into water?"

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and said evasively, "It's hard to explain in a few words; I'll explain it later when there's a chance."

Gong Kaishan and Qian Shaoyuan exchanged glances, knowing there was no way to get an answer.

This made the two somewhat dissatisfied in their hearts.

After a moment of silence, Gong Kaishan couldn't help but speak: "Brother Xiao Feng, you know I'm straightforward and say whatever's on my mind.

I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should..."

"Since you're not sure whether to say it, it's better not to mention it," Xiao Feng directly replied.

"..." Gong Kaishan.

This fellow isn't following the usual patterns!

Even Qian Shaoyuan and Yao Qianxue were startled, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gong Kaishan said with a dark face: "Brother Xiao Feng, we've known each other for so long, are we friends?"

Xiao Feng frowned briefly, this guy truly has no social awareness.

He made it clear he didn't want to listen, yet he insists on talking?

Faced with this problem, Xiao Feng knowing he had to respond, said, "Of course, we're friends."

"Since we're friends, as a friend, I must remind you, you can't go on like this anymore!" Gong Kaishan said solemnly:

"Recently, you've been giving us a very inexplicable feeling.

To be honest, this feeling is very unpleasant.

Even if nobody says it verbally, we all somewhat have opinions about you..."

As he was speaking, Xiao Feng lowered his voice and said reflectively, "Hearing you say that, I can be at ease..."

"..." Gong Kaishan.

At this moment, he truly felt like swearing.

He kindly gave a reminder, but there was no appreciation?

But before he could act up, Qian Shaoyuan grabbed his arm beside him.

Gong Kaishan turned to look and saw Qian Shaoyuan slightly shaking his head, signaling not to entangle with this matter anymore.

...

An hour later, Gong Kaishan and Qian Shaoyuan returned to the base camp.

"Sister Ying, gather everyone for a meeting. I have a significant finding," Qian Shaoyuan said solemnly, his expression unusually serious.

Li Ying frowned slightly: "What significant finding?"

"It's about Brother Feng's recent abnormal behavior."

"Are you sure your finding is the actual situation?"

Qian Shaoyuan pondered then responded carefully, "It's about 80 to 90 percent certain."

After pacing back and forth a few steps, Li Ying nodded, "Okay, you head to the meeting room first, and I'll call everyone."

Ten minutes passed.

Li Ying, leading about twenty people, slowly entered the meeting room.

The people here had all interacted with Xiao Feng.

Once seated, Li Ying looked at Qian Shaoyuan and said, "Everyone's almost here, Xiao Yuan, tell us what you've found."

Qian Shaoyuan nodded, stood before the projection screen, and said gravely: "I suspect Brother Feng might have a terminal illness."

Once these words were spoken, the room fell into deathly silence!

"..."

After a long silence, Gong Kaishan stood up, frowning intensely, "Such words must not be said lightly. I was with you when we saw Brother Xiao Feng, and I didn't see anything wrong with him."

Li Ying also frowned deeply, "Do you have any concrete evidence to prove this?"

Qian Shaoyuan slowly shook his head, "I don't have evidence to prove it, but I've experienced a similar situation."

"Hmm?"

The meeting room was filled with sounds of doubt and surprise.

After a brief pause, someone spoke, "Have you had a terminal illness?"

"If I had had a terminal illness, would I still be standing here talking to you?!" Qian Shaoyuan responded irritably.

"Then what do you mean by having experienced a similar situation?"

Qian Shaoyuan's gaze became distant, his expression darkened as if recalling some sorrowful event.

He grasped the edge of the table with both hands and said, "Once, a good friend of mine experienced this.

From knowing him, he was always kind-hearted and eager to help anyone in need.

Such a person naturally had good social ties.

But one day, he changed completely, becoming calculative and selfish, and even lost basic human interaction.

At first, we thought he was in trouble.

But every time we asked, it ended in arguments after a few words.

Over time, we gradually distanced ourselves.

Until one day, he seemed to vanish, never appearing in our lives again.

Since he had offended everyone, his disappearance was almost a relief to us.

Unexpectedly, last year at a reunion, we discussed him.

After so many years, the trivial issues of the past had faded over time.

We decided to look for him at his place.

We found his home locked, with cobwebs on the door, looking deserted for a long time.

After talking to neighbors, we learned he had passed away years ago.

Only then did we understand his actions were to spare us grief from his death."

After hearing Qian Shaoyuan's story, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Moments later, Qian Shaoyuan looked at Gong Kaishan and asked, "Do you remember what Brother Feng said in response when you mentioned in the helicopter that everyone had opinions about him?"

Everyone turned to Gong Kaishan, who replied: "Brother Xiao Feng said that hearing me say that, he could be at ease."
