From the conversation between her brothers, Ying had already guessed the whole story and immediately sided with Jiang Kai, urging, "Big brother, you must see a doctor!"

"If the money isn't enough, I can just drop out of school!"

Jiang Kai shot Jiang Ying a glare, "Don't make trouble. If you say that, big brother definitely won't agree. I've already said I'll handle the money issue."

"Actually, I planned to earn enough money for big brother's treatment before coming home, but... well, it's a long story. Anyway, I came back first after listening to a friend's advice."

Jiang Lan still felt uneasy and frowned, "Kai, how did you earn so much money? Did you do something risky?"

"Big brother, no risks!" Jiang Kai patiently explained, "There's something I need to tell you, but you mustn't tell anyone."

"Huh? What is it?" Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying leaned forward, curiously staring at Jiang Kai.

"Before the Calling, I went to the Dark Alley and bought a piece of Incomplete material, then successfully changed class. I have a profession now!"

"Is that even possible?" Ying's eyes widened, "Online, they say the success rate for Incomplete materials is very low, and even if you succeed, it won't be a good profession."

Jiang Kai nodded, "At that time, I just wanted to take a gamble. After all, without a class change, it's hard to pass the Newcomer Trial. But during the class change, I suddenly had a feeling that maybe the Incomplete materials don't have a low success rate, but rather... require some harsh conditions."

"What conditions?" Jiang Ying eagerly asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, maybe it's just my illusion... Anyway, I have a profession now, and it's even..."

Just as Jiang Kai was about to reveal the most crucial part, there was a knock on the door.

The three siblings looked towards the door in surprise, especially Jiang Kai.

Who would come looking for them at this time?

The Huang Family? Unlikely, the Huang Family would probably kick the door down rather than knock so politely.

"Is Jiang Kai here?" someone outside asked, "I'm Lu Jun."

"Who?" Jiang Lan looked at his brother in confusion.

"Lu Jun... oh, he's from the military." Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief and got up to open the door.

Opening the door, Jiang Kai found not only Lu Jun but also Wei Ying, the Black-clothed Person, and the female instructor, all four standing at the door looking at him.

Jiang Kai couldn't help but frown, "General Wei, what brings you here..."

Lu Jun stepped back, and Wei Ying took a step forward, smiling at Jiang Kai. He peeked inside, "Having a meal? Mind if we come in?"

Jiang Kai still respected Wei Ying, after all, he was the one who safeguarded River City.

"Oh, please come in, though the house is a bit small."

"Haha, small as it is, it's complete with everything. My house is big, but it lacks the coziness of your little home."

Jiang Kai invited the four inside. Seeing their military uniforms, Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying stood up, a bit at a loss.

Wei Ying smiled and said, "You must be Jiang Kai's big brother, Jiang Lan, and you are his sister, Jiang Ying. Sorry to interrupt your meal."

Jiang Lan tugged at Jiang Kai's sleeve, "Aren't you going to introduce them?"

"Oh, big brother, third sister, this is Major General Wei Ying from our River City military district, this is Lu Jun... sir, this is, uh, the Black-clothed Person sir, and this is our instructor from the Newcomer Trial."

Jiang Kai was a bit at a loss himself. He only knew Wei Ying's rank and position, but not the other three, especially the Black-clothed Person with sunglasses, so he could only give a rough introduction.

However, just knowing Wei Ying's identity was enough to shock Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying.

General Wei Ying was practically the guardian angel of River City!

"G-General Wei..." Jiang Lan was momentarily stunned.

Wei Ying chuckled, "No need to call me that. In private, you can just call me Old Wei."

Jiang Kai frowned slightly. He had already declined the military's invitation last time, so why were they here again, acting as if they were close?

"So, what brings you here?" Jiang Kai asked.

Wei Ying smiled slightly, "Jiang Kai, we'll talk about other matters later. Look at this table full of good food and drink..."

General Wei actually wanted to crash their meal... Jiang Kai felt this was getting stranger.

Before Jiang Kai could respond, Jiang Lan quickly said, "This kid, Ying, get some drinks for the guests. The table is small, so it might be a bit cramped..."

The Black-clothed Person didn't stand on ceremony, grabbing a bottle of beer, flicking it open with his finger, and taking a swig, "No worries, you all sit, I'll stand and eat." He said, grabbing a piece of roast chicken wing from the table.

Jiang Kai was speechless; this guy really didn't see himself as an outsider.

However, it was clear that this person wasn't one for formalities. For someone like General Wei to always bring him along, and with his incredible strength, his status was undoubtedly high, yet he didn't care about hierarchy, which Jiang Kai quite admired.

"General Wei, our conditions here are really too simple, so let's all just stand," Jiang Kai suggested.

Wei Ying, with the demeanor of a soldier, said, "As long as the atmosphere is right, it doesn't matter how we eat."

Jiang Ying handed over a few bottles of beer, and Wei Ying, Lu Jun, and Su Lanlan each took one.

Taking the beer, Wei Ying raised his bottle, "First, let's congratulate Jiang Kai on passing the Newcomer Trial. Let's have a toast."

"Come on, dig in," Jiang Lan urged. In his view, regardless of their identities, since they knew Jiang Kai, they were guests and should be treated well.

"Lanlan," Wei Ying looked at Su Lanlan.

From the moment they entered, Su Lanlan had kept her head down, not daring to look at Jiang Kai.

Being called out by the boss, she knew it was inevitable.

With no other choice, Su Lanlan raised her head, staring directly at Jiang Kai with a gaze that made him feel uneasy.

She took two steps forward, raised her beer bottle, and said, "Jiang Kai, a bet is a bet. I, Su Lanlan, once mocked you, and it was my fault for being short-sighted. I sincerely apologize to you now!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"This bottle of beer is my apology!" With that, she lifted the bottle and downed it in one go.

Wei Ying frowned slightly, both amused and exasperated, "What do you mean short-sighted? I know you were just disappointed that Jiang Kai didn't join the military. At most, you used the wrong words."

"Jiang Kai, Lanlan has a kind heart and meant no harm. I hope you don't hold any grudges against her."

Even Jiang Lan and Jiang Ying were taken aback by this scene, not to mention Jiang Kai.

Was this woman really that fierce?

She came all the way to his house to apologize?

After drinking, Su Lanlan returned to her original spot, not daring to look at Jiang Kai's expression.

This loss was quite embarrassing, apologizing to him in front of so many people...

Jiang Kai smiled slightly and said to General Wei, "I won't hold it against her."

Wei Ying nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. Jiang Kai, you asked about our purpose for coming as soon as you entered, so now I can tell you."

"We came for three reasons. The first is to fulfill your bet with Lanlan."

"The second is, we know about Jiang Lan's situation. If you're willing, you can send your brother to our military hospital for treatment. In terms of medical equipment, technology, and experts, our military hospital is top-notch."

"This..." Jiang Kai frowned. The conditions Wei Ying offered hit him right in the heart.

Wei Ying added, "Rest assured, you just need to take your brother for treatment, with no strings attached."

"I don't want our relationship to turn into some kind of transaction. If one day you decide to join the military, it should be a decision from your heart."

After speaking, Wei Ying took a sip of beer.

Jiang Kai didn't rush to refuse and asked, "Then, what's the third thing?"

"The third thing, Jiang Kai, is I hope you can spare two days for me."

"Two days? For what?"

Wei Ying put down his beer bottle, his gaze deep and voice solemn, "To go outside the city with me!"
