Chapter 138: Shanghai Fantasy
Returning to the Qinling Base, Wu Hao stayed only for two days before piloting his aircraft back home. This time, he would stay home for quite a while, as both the Qinling Base and the drifting “Ghost” Sea Mobile Base in the vast Pacific had now settled into regular operations.
With a series of fully automated intelligent systems he designed, Wu Hao could handle small operations and issues by remotely issuing various commands to the base’s main control intelligence via his portable communicator.
The primary purpose of his return home was to accompany his parents to the provincial capital. It had been over a month since his father took the spiritual liquid. A few days earlier, Wu Hao’s mother had contacted him, asking if they could go to the hospital for a check-up.
At that time, Wu Hao was busy refitting a cargo ship at sea. He already knew the effects of the spiritual liquid, so he postponed the hospital visit.
In fact, Wu Hao’s father’s illness had been cured within days of taking the spiritual liquid. Wu Hao had said it would take a month to take effect to avoid causing a sensation. Even a month was still astonishing news.
Currently, medical technology had no effective methods for treating cancer, especially late-stage cancer like his father’s, which hospitals typically abandon. Remaining in the hospital would only lead to one result: waiting for death.
The night Wu Hao returned home, after dinner, his mother pulled him aside, worriedly asking, “Son, is your father’s illness really cured?”
Understanding his mother’s concern, Wu Hao reassured her, “Mom, don’t worry! Dad’s illness is definitely cured. You’ve seen his condition these days. Does he look like a sick person now?” Lately, as Wu Hongguo’s health improved daily, he couldn’t stay idle at home and started tending the orchard in the back and planting vegetables near the villa. Wu Hao supported his father’s activities, even though his mother was initially worried they might hinder his recovery. After Wu Hao explained, she stopped objecting.
