Chapter 290 This Unlucky Thing

When Zhou Shizui was thrown to the ground, he was still dazed when he looked up at the blue sky.

The next instant, he was subdued by Chi Yanzhou, who rushed up to him.

It only took a moment for their hands to be tied.

By the time Zhou realized what was happening, he had already been caught.

The outcome of the matter could not be changed, and Zhou Shizui was no longer attached to it.

He looked at Xia Yuhuan and asked her, "Weren't you poisoned by my enhanced version of the 'muscle-strengthening powder'? Why do you still have the strength? Why can you still move?"

Xia Yuhuan wiped the grime from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Of course it's because I took the antidote I made myself before you came in."

"So you were just putting on an act for me inside?" Zhou Shizui asked.

“That’s right.” Xia Yuhuan nodded without hesitation.

Zhou Shizui gave a wry smile: "It seems that your medical skills are still better than my poison-making skills. I have lost this round."

Xia Yuhuan: "Since ancient times, the truth has always been that evil can never prevail over good. From the moment you go astray, you should know that you will eventually lose everything."

Zhou Shizui remained silent upon hearing this.

He knew that further discussion was pointless; the victor is king, the loser is villain—that has always been the case.

The soldiers took him away, and at that moment, Chi Yanzhou pulled Xia Yuhuan into his arms.

"Ayu, thank goodness you're alright, you scared me to death." Chi Yanzhou's voice was trembling.

"I'm fine, aren't I? Don't panic, don't worry." Xia Yuhuan gently patted Chi Yanzhou's back to comfort him.

"Are you injured anywhere?" Chi Yanzhou asked her.

Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "No, I'm not injured."

"He drugged me and then gave me a muscle relaxant, making me completely weak. Luckily, I had an antidote on me, so he didn't search me and neutralized the poison. Otherwise, I would have been in real trouble today."

Chi Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

He said to Xia Yuhuan, "I'll have someone send you back; I need to continue the pursuit."

“There are a lot of people at this stronghold. I need to work with Yingjie to wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, I'll be good," Xia Yuhuan quickly replied.

Chi Yanzhou left one person to escort Xia Yuhuan back, while he himself disappeared into the dense forest with his men.

Xia Yuhuan returned to the military hospital.

Jiang Zhicheng, who had already received the news, was waiting for her at the hospital.

Seeing her appear in such a disheveled state, he hurried forward to greet her.

"Xiao Huan, are you alright? Come on, let me give you a full check-up."

Xia Yuhuan quickly stopped him: "Master, I'm fine, don't panic."

"Are you really alright?" Jiang Zhicheng asked.

"I'm really fine," Xia Yuhuan quickly said. "I'm a doctor too. Do you think I would deliberately lie to you if something were wrong with me?"

"I just think it looks a bit dirty, but it's really nothing."

"That's good." Jiang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Then, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and say, "You unlucky kid, why does everything bad happen to you?"

"You were almost hit by a car yesterday, but you didn't get hit and instead broke your head. You were just about to be discharged from the hospital today when you were kidnapped. How come you have such bad luck?"

Jiang Zhicheng's complaints are remarkably similar to Xiao Tuanzi's.

Xia Yuhuan almost laughed when she heard this.

She coughed lightly: "I don't know either. Do you think I wanted an accident to happen to me? I had no choice."

Xia Yuhuan herself felt very innocent.

After all, she didn't seek out trouble to be targeted; it was truly inexplicable and unexpected for her.

"Besides, you see, I always manage to turn bad luck into good and escape danger. What does that mean? It means I'm lucky. So, I'm not really unlucky."

Jiang Zhicheng rolled his eyes when he heard her twisted logic.

Eventually, news of Xia Yuhuan's accident reached her family and close relatives.

Naturally, this was another expression of concern.

After Xia Yuhuan responded to the concerns of her family and friends one by one, the storm finally subsided.

After this incident, Xia Yuhuan didn't see Chi Yanzhou for a full five days.

It wasn't until the night of the sixth day, when she was about to go to sleep, that Chi Yanzhou returned home, looking utterly exhausted.

"Why are you back so late? Quick, go take a hot shower and go to bed," Xia Yuhuan said hurriedly.

"By the way, have you eaten dinner? Do you want me to cook you some noodles?" she asked again.

“Okay, I didn’t eat dinner, and I’m actually a little hungry,” Chi Yanzhou said.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Then you should go take a shower quickly. I'll go downstairs and cook noodles for you. You can wash the dishes and then come down."

"good."

Xia Yuhuan went downstairs to cook noodles, and Chi Yanzhou also came downstairs just as she finished cooking the noodles.

He was drying his wet hair when he saw Xia Yuhuan about to serve him noodles, so he quickly stopped and went over to her.

"Let me do it, so you don't burn yourself."

Chi Yanzhou brought the noodles to the dining table, sat down, and began to show off.

You could tell he was really hungry.

He blew on the piping hot noodles to dissipate the heat before starting to eat.

"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself. No one's going to take it from you," Xia Yuhuan said with concern.

Chi Yanzhou quickly finished the bowl of noodles.

He washed the dishes himself.

Afterwards, the couple sat together on the headboard and chatted.

"Are you done with your work? Have you arrested everyone who needed to be arrested?"

"Yes, we caught them. Yingjie and I had been following this lead for a while."

"Later, when I had an accident during a mission, the blame fell entirely on Yingjie."

"It just so happens that this investigation of Zhou Shizui has uncovered a hidden problem, making the investigation much faster," Chi Yanzhou explained.

"So the traitor was caught too?"

"Um."

"That's wonderful!" Xia Yuhuan said happily.

After chatting for a few minutes, Chi Yanzhou urged Xia Yuhuan to go to sleep.

"Go to sleep. Don't you have to get up early for work tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. You should go to sleep as soon as you've finished digesting your food," Xia Yuhuan said.

Chi Yanzhou: "Now we can go to sleep."

As he spoke, he lay down next to her.

"Go to sleep." Chi Yanzhou hugged Xia Yuhuan tightly, leaned forward and kissed her forehead, and said.

After so many busy days, I can finally sleep in my sweet and soft wife's arms again. It's so good.

The next morning, when Xia Yuhuan got up, Chi Yanzhou was still asleep.

Xia Yuhuan knew that he had been extremely busy these past few days and was severely sleep-deprived, so she didn't wake him and quietly left the room.

Anyway, Chi Yanzhou has the day off today and doesn't need to go to work, so he can catch up on his sleep.

Xia Yuhuan went to work at the hospital, and as always, the first thing she did was to visit Xia Qingqing.

After this period of treatment, Xia Qingqing's condition has improved significantly. Although she has not fully recovered, her condition is stable and she has stopped going crazy.

Sometimes, I can still clearly recognize Wu Minghui.

This made Wu Minghui very happy, and he felt that there was hope for a complete recovery.

After all, he had sought medical help everywhere and for a long time, but to no avail.

The fact that she can recognize him now is a tremendous improvement.

Although recognizing him was only a very occasional thing.
