[“Host, you’re amazing! We’ve actually leveled up to level ten directly! Hahahaha!”] Xiao Bai’s eyes shone brightly as she stared intently at Cang Lan, looking just like a crazy little fan.

"Your system is finally starting to get interesting!" Cang Lan raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Bai: [Hehe, I'm no longer a low-level system!]
"Ring ring ring ring..."
"So fast?" Cang Lan immediately wiped the smug look off his face.
Soon, an elderly woman entered with slightly unsteady yet still steady steps. Her back was straight, and her full head of silver hair was neatly pulled back.
In particular, she exuded a righteous aura that was so strong it was almost pure, and a faint golden light appeared on her forehead, indicating that she was a person who had accumulated countless good deeds and had received great blessings throughout her life.
"You're the little girl who can help me get revenge?" The old woman's voice was deep and powerful, carrying an undeniable certainty.
A hint of surprise flashed in Cang Lan's eyes as he sized up the imposing old man before him and subconsciously said, "Old man, have you gone to the wrong place? If you're reincarnating, turn left when you go out the door."
The old woman's eyes were sharp: "Young lady, don't let my age fool you, my eyesight is excellent, I'm sure I haven't gone astray. I've come here to ask you to help me get revenge."
Canglan and Xiaobai exchanged a glance and smiled awkwardly: "Alright, what are your requirements?"
The old lady's eyes instantly sharpened. "Throughout my life, I entered the business world when I was young and carved out a niche for myself in the male-dominated corporate world, becoming a formidable female CEO."
I gradually grew my family's company from a small workshop into a large enterprise, and within the company, I was the absolute authority.
But who could have imagined that in his old age he would find out that his granddaughter had been switched at birth, and that his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all a bunch of idiots! They had been completely fooled by an imposter.
She stole everything that originally belonged to my granddaughter, and even tried to seize the entire Zhou family fortune for herself. What a heartless wretch!
At this point, the old lady's eyes blazed with anger. "My demand is to find my granddaughter, raise her to inherit the Zhou family business, drive that heartless bastard out of the Pei family, and make those who hurt my granddaughter get what they deserve."
Canglan nodded: "Okay." Then she looked at Xiaobai, "Let's go."
"Teleporting to the next world..."
As soon as Canglan opened her eyes, she saw the white curtains swaying gently in the breeze, her nostrils filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant, and the monotonous beeping of the instruments beside her ears rhythmically tapping her eardrums.
The next second, Canglan heard two people chatting away beside her.
"Honey, what did the doctor say? How much longer does she have to live?" A woman's voice was filled with impatience.
A hint of barely concealed glee flashed in Zhou Qiming's eyes: "The doctor said my mom's condition is very dangerous right now, and she probably won't live for more than a few days. Yueyue, our good days are coming."
"Great! With this old woman dead, the Zhou family will all be ours!" Shen Yue exclaimed excitedly, her voice filled with greed.
"Shh, keep your voice down. My mom has sharp ears," Zhou Qiming quickly reminded her.
"Understood," Shen Yue replied.
But the moment they turned around, they were shocked to find that Canglan on the hospital bed was staring at them with wide, cold eyes.
Shen Yue turned pale with fright and stammered guiltily, "Mom, when...when did you wake up?"
Cang Lan remained expressionless, reached out and ripped off the oxygen mask from her nose, then deftly pulled out the IV needle from her hand, and said coldly, "Just now when you said I was about to die."
Shen Yue hurriedly hid behind Zhou Qiming and pinched him hard. Only then did Zhou Qiming realize what was happening. He quickly stood up and explained with a forced smile, "Mom, you must have misheard."
However, Canglan ignored his excuses and rolled off the bed, her movements so agile that she didn't seem like a seventy-year-old man who had just woken up from a serious illness.
She stepped forward and slapped Zhou Qiming several times. She slapped him once, then slapped Shen Yue twice in return.
"If you're so eager for me to die, then I'll live another twenty years!" With that, she strode towards the door of the ward.
Zhou Qiming was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He hurriedly picked up the cane beside him and chased after her, calling out, "Mom, the cane! You forgot to bring the cane!"
Canglan walked briskly down the corridor, showing none of the slowness or unsteadiness typical of an elderly person.
Zhou Qiming followed closely behind, looking completely bewildered. "What's wrong with Mom? Is it a sudden burst of lucidity before death? But even if it is, she doesn't seem like a woman in her seventies."
Seeing Cang Lan walk further and further away, Zhou Qiming quickly chased after her, "Mom, where are you going?"
Without turning his head, Cang Lan coldly ordered, "Now, immediately, get discharged and go home!"
Zhou Qiming knew he couldn't go against his mother's wishes, so he had no choice but to say to Shen Yue, "Wife, go and help Mom with her discharge procedures. We'll go home together."
So the group hurriedly left the hospital and headed home.
Along the way, Zhou Qiming and Shen Yue harbored ulterior motives and would occasionally steal glances at Cang Lan out of the corner of their eyes.
Zhou Qiming thought to himself, the doctor had clearly determined that this old woman didn't have many days left to live, but now she suddenly looked energetic, as if she had become decades younger.
Could it be that their previous conversation was overheard, and that angered her to the point of resurrection?
Shen Yue was also full of suspicion, and her eyes, which were originally full of calculation, now showed a hint of fear.
Their eyes met in mid-air, both looking bewildered, seeing the same confusion and unease in each other's eyes.
But soon, they understood each other perfectly, and they were both certain that the old lady in front of them was about to regain control of the Zhou family.
