By the shores of Coastal City, Li Yang’s fishing boat finally docked. Qin Shanchuan was already waiting for him, and surprisingly, Qin Yue was right there beside him.

Qin Shanchuan knew his daughter was in Coastal City, so he had called her on his way over. Qin Yue happened to be enjoying a day at the beach, so they had met up.

A look of clear astonishment was in Qin Yue’s eyes.

’Li Yang’s boat caught thirteen Bluefin Tuna?’

"Xiaoyang."

At last, Qin Shanchuan met with Li Yang and saw the Bluefin Tuna for himself.

"Uncle Qin, I’ll leave these in your hands. I have to get to Hu City," Li Yang said quickly.

"Alright."

Qin Shanchuan knew about Li Guohai’s situation, so his expression was grim. He wasn’t smiling.

"Once the Bluefin Tuna auction is over, I’ll make a trip to Hu City myself."

He and Li Guohai had been university classmates for four years and shared a close, brotherly bond.

However, he first had to devote his full attention to these Bluefin Tuna.

Next, Qin Shanchuan and Qin Yun quickly signed the necessary auction contracts and agreements. Once the papers were signed, he ordered his men to start moving the frozen Bluefin Tuna.

These contracts and agreements were a necessary part of the auction process and had to be taken care of.

"Yueyue, these Bluefin Tuna are huge!"

As the Bluefin Tuna were being moved, Qin Yue’s best friend, Chu Tingting, exclaimed in amazement beside her.

"These must be worth tens of millions, right?"

Qin Yue remained silent. The first time she had met Li Yang, he had come looking for her father, Qin Shanchuan, to help auction an Entemnotrochus rumphii. Back then, she had simply thought Li Yang had struck it lucky.

But now, Li Yang had somehow managed to catch so many large Bluefin Tuna. According to her father, they were worth at least eighty million in total!

Eighty million... what did that even mean?

Even though she wasn’t someone who cared much for money, Qin Yue couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy at Li Yang’s luck.

...

After signing the auction contracts and entrusting the Bluefin Tuna to Qin Shanchuan, Li Yang immediately got a car to Hu City.

About three hours later, he finally reached his destination.

Arriving at the hospital, Li Yang headed straight for the patient room.

"Yangyang."

Just as he reached the door to the room, Li Yang saw Li Xue. She spotted her brother and hurried over.

"Sis, how are Mom and Dad?" Li Yang asked urgently.

Not only had something happened to Li Guohai, but Zhao Rou also had cancer. ’She must be under immense stress.’

"Mom and Dad are holding up emotionally. I went with Mom for a detailed check-up earlier, and the doctors have already worked out a treatment plan."

Li Xue was clearly dejected. With both her parents in trouble, it was naturally hardest on the children.

"But Mom needs to be admitted, and we’re still waiting for a room to open up."

At a major hospital like this in Hu City, rooms were in high demand. Even after a diagnosis, you could be waiting for a while to be admitted—waiting a month wasn’t uncommon.

Li Yang nodded. "I’ll go see Mom and Dad."

He walked into the room, where both Li Guohai and Zhao Rou were present.

"Yangyang, you’re here. Quick, talk to your father,"

Zhao Rou said, quickly getting to her feet when she saw her son.

Li Guohai had suddenly expressed a desire to die. Although that impulse seemed to have faded for now, she was terrified it would return.

Li Yang looked at his father. In such a short time, Li Guohai seemed to have aged immensely. The refined, handsome man from a year ago now looked as if all the life had been drained out of him.

"Yangyang." Seeing his son, Li Guohai managed to force a smile.

Li Xue walked back into the room just then. "Mom, I’ll go with you to pick up the lab results."

Li Xue walked out with Zhao Rou.

Now, only the father and son, Li Guohai and Li Yang, were left in the room.

"Dad."

Li Yang walked to the bedside and took his father’s hand.

There was hardly any flesh on Li Guohai’s hand; it looked thin and gaunt.

Seeing his father in this state, Li Yang felt a true hatred for the Zhao family. He could tell his father still hadn’t recovered from whatever had happened.

His father used to be so cheerful, but now he was completely different.

He had no idea what the Zhao family—what that so-called uncle of his—had said to Li Guohai. Both Zhao Rou and Li Xue had asked, but his father refused to say a word.

Holding Li Guohai’s hand, Li Yang spoke softly. "I’ve entrusted the Bluefin Tuna to Uncle Qin. He sent word that they’ll be auctioned in four days. The sale should bring in over eighty million, which will put our family’s savings at over a hundred million. When the Anticancer Agent comes up for auction again, we might be able to get it."

Li Yang brought up the Anticancer Agent right away. He knew the greatest challenge his parents faced was cancer. If their illnesses could be cured, all their other problems would melt away.

Hearing his son, Li Guohai nodded. "Yangyang, if that money is enough to buy the Anticancer Agent, use it to treat your mother first."

At his words, Li Yang said softly, "Dad, don’t worry. I’ll definitely be able to buy the Anticancer Agent—not just enough to treat Mom, but enough to treat you, too."

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Li Guohai gave a bitter, inward smile. ’Two doses of the Anticancer Agent... that would cost at least two hundred fifty million!’

’Li Yang ran into some Bluefin Tuna this time, bringing his assets up to one hundred million. Even buying one dose of the Anticancer Agent with that would be difficult. How could he possibly afford two?’

’Besides, finding the Bluefin Tuna was just a stroke of luck. How many times can something like that happen?’

"Dad, you have to believe me."

A solemn expression came over Li Yang’s face. He glanced around, and after making sure they were alone, he said, "I’m going to tell you a secret."

Seeing Li Yang’s serious expression, a flicker of confusion appeared in Li Guohai’s eyes.

’What is my son about to tell me?’

Li Yang took a deep breath and finally began. "Dad, have you been thinking my luck has been unusually good lately?"

Li Guohai nodded.

Thinking back, Li Yang’s luck over the past half-month had indeed been exceptionally good.

First, he found a meter-long lobster that sold for two hundred thousand. Then he found the Entemnotrochus rumphii that auctioned for seven million. After that, his boat caught four tons of large yellow croaker, which sold for twenty million!

And now, he had caught thirteen huge Bluefin Tuna! Worth an estimated eighty million!

That kind of luck was truly unbelievable.

Li Yang said seriously, "Dad, it’s not actually good luck. I’ve had a... miraculous encounter."

Li Yang was preparing to tell his father about his cultivation!

He had only just begun to cultivate and had been overthinking things, so he hadn’t planned on telling anyone.

But now, his hidden strengths were growing. He didn’t just have his octopus avatar, he also had a World Tree avatar!

As his power continued to grow, so too did Li Yang’s confidence.

It wouldn’t hurt to tell his father a few things. He trusted that his father would never repeat them to anyone else.

The crucial thing was that both his parents had cancer, the Zhao family was stirring up trouble, and his father had even been provoked to the point of suicide.

The solution to all their problems was the Anticancer Agent. If he could prove that he could easily obtain it, his father would surely regain his peace of mind.
