Chapter 138 An awkward person, with a charmingly contrasting personality.

Yan Hu was indeed very capable; he personally went to get the medicine.

The moment Yan Hu received the medicine, he called Chi Shaokang to tell him the good news.

Chi Shaokang happened to be at home and was overjoyed to hear the news.

"Okay, then be careful when you come back. I'll be waiting for you in Beijing." After giving his instructions, Chi Shaokang hung up the phone.

Zhang Xianya and Xia Yuhuan were also sitting in the living room, watching him.

They didn't hear the conversation, but the word "come back" made them all a little worried.

After all, Yan Hu had left the capital to get the medicine, so if he called back, it would definitely be good news.

After all, Yan Hu wouldn't be coming back without getting the medicine.

"It was Yan Hu on the phone. He said he got the medicine and is on his way back. He should be home by tomorrow night at the latest," Chi Shaokang said with a smile, meeting their expectant yet worried gazes.

His words were like a shot in the arm for the two of them, instantly relieving them of a great burden.

"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Yan Zhou is saved!" Zhang Xianya excitedly hugged Xia Yuhuan.

"Xiao Huan, did you hear that? Yan Hu got the medicine, Yan Zhou is saved, boohoo..."

Zhang Xianya burst into tears of joy, and Xia Yuhuan hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Yes, I heard it. Uncle Yan is back. That's wonderful news."

"Mom, don't cry. Your eyes will get swollen and you won't look pretty anymore," Xia Yuhuan said softly.

Zhang Xianya still couldn't control her emotions, and her tears just wouldn't stop.

Xia Yuhuan stopped trying to persuade her and just stayed by her side silently.

After all, any expression of emotion deserves respect.

Chi Shaokang, who was standing to the side, watched Zhang Xianya hug Xia Yuhuan and cry with tears in her eyes, and felt a moment of... jealousy.

I should have pulled Xiaoya to sit next to him earlier.

That way, when Xiaoya cries, he'll be the one to hold her.

However, it's good that Xiaoya is holding her daughter; at least they're family.

...

On the other side, after Yan Hu reported the news to Chi Shaokang, he rushed to the capital without stopping.

This was the third day since he left the capital, and there were still four days left until the seven-day deadline.

Although normally he should be able to reach the capital by tomorrow, Yan Hu still dared not slack off in the slightest, for fear that something unexpected might happen along the way.

He also felt that the sooner the poison could be neutralized, the better.

As the car passed through a desolate wilderness, the driver discovered an overturned vehicle on the side of the road.

"Chief of guard, there's a car overturned over there. Should we go check it out?"

Yan Hu, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, immediately opened them upon hearing the question.

"Stop the car and let's go take a look," Yan Hu said immediately.

Although he was in a hurry to return to Beijing, he was involved in a car accident, and as a soldier, he could not simply turn a blind eye and refuse to help.

Yan Hu and the driver went together to check on the overturned vehicle.

The driver checked the front seats, while Yan Hu checked the back seats.

"Li Rouyue? How could it be her?" Yan Hu was somewhat surprised to see Li Rouyue lying unconscious in the back row, bleeding profusely from her head.

At this moment, the driver said, "This person is still breathing. He must have been knocked unconscious by the force of the impact."

Yan Hu said, "The one in the back is still breathing. There's nowhere to find a doctor for them in this desolate place. Let's get them in the car first and take them back to the capital."

The driver immediately agreed.

Then, the two of them worked together to get the two unconscious people into their car.

The car continued towards the capital.

...

Xia Yuhuan was naturally unaware of the incident on Yan Hu's side.

Knowing that Yan Hu wouldn't arrive in Beijing until evening at the earliest, she didn't wait foolishly at home. The next day, she went to work at the military hospital as usual.

She met Xia Jianyong again at the military region.

"Hey, Lao Xia, you seem to be in a good mood today, all smiles," Xia Yuhuan greeted.

Taking the initiative to greet someone doesn't necessarily mean you have a good relationship; it could simply be an attempt to probe the enemy's intentions.

“I’m in a good mood every day.” Xia Jianyong glanced at her and said, “But you, you’re stuck with a vegetable every day, living like a widow. I don’t know what you’re so happy about.”

Xia Yuhuan snorted and said, "Isn't it all your fault that I'm living like a widow? If you hadn't forced me to marry in your place, would I have married a vegetable and been living like a widow?"

"Xia Jianyong, as the instigator, how dare you say such nonchalant words to mock me?"

Xia Jianyong: "..."

Xia Jianyong felt very bad after failing to mock Xia Yuhuan and instead getting himself speechless.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered to talk to you." Xia Jianyong snorted coldly and quickly rode away on his bicycle.

Having just dealt with Li Rouyue, he needed to keep a low profile, otherwise he would definitely try to kill Xia Yuhuan to avoid her getting in his way.

Xia Yuhuan was not going in the same direction as him, and she was also riding her bicycle towards the military hospital.

On the way, she couldn't help but think: Xia Jianyong's mental state is a bit too good today, he doesn't seem worried at all. Could it be that his problem has been solved?

But she didn't receive any news!

Xia Yuhuan decided that when she got home, she would definitely ask Chi Shaokang and Xia Jianyong about their recent situation.

Upon arriving at the military hospital, Xia Yuhuan had just put down her things and changed her clothes when she saw Deng Qili looking at her awkwardly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xia Yuhuan was getting impatient with the stares and didn't want to become the center of attention when the people arrived.

He then spoke up, "Why are you looking at me like that? Is something the matter?"

Even if Deng Qili tries to cause trouble, it doesn't matter; she can handle it.

But it's annoying to see her staring at her like this without saying anything.

"Thank you for yesterday." Deng Qili hesitated for a moment before thanking her.

She initially looked down on Xia Yuhuan's relationship with her, and even now, she still has some doubts about Xia Yuhuan's abilities, since she hasn't personally witnessed Xia Yuhuan performing surgery.

However, the wounded soldier that Xia Yuhuan had treated was indeed in good condition, with no adverse reactions, which made her believe it.

Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised that Deng Qili would express her gratitude.

She thought that someone as arrogant and haughty as Deng Qili would never bother to say a few words to her or try to build a good relationship with her, since she looked down on her.

However, Xia Yuhuan had no intention of escalating the conflict, so she nodded lightly: "No need to thank me. I'm not doing this to help you. I just don't want anything to happen to the patient. My intervention is none of your business."

Deng Qili was speechless at her words.

She puffed out her cheeks, a little annoyed.

With her cheeks puffed out, she no longer looked so sharp and proud, but rather had a more mature and sophisticated air, and was inexplicably more adorable.

Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised by his straightforward manner, and also felt like laughing.

She quickly lowered her head to hold back her laughter, afraid that she would burst out laughing and provoke Deng Qili again.

She was trying not to laugh when Deng Qili strode over to her and handed her something.

Here, this is for you.

Xia Yuhuan looked up at her, somewhat confused: "What is this?"

"A thank-you gift. You helped me, and I don't want to owe you anything."

Deng Qili said, "If you don't like it, you can throw it away. I don't mind."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left immediately, as if she didn't want to waste a single second.
