Chapter 875 He fell down

Qin Yi quickly pointed to the surveillance footage and asked the property management staff, "Which way does that lead?"

"Oh, if you keep going straight down this road, there's a small hill. We originally planned to turn it into a pavilion, but we had to put it on hold because of construction problems."

Qin Yi turned to Qiao Xing and asked, "What is Grandpa doing there?"

Qiao Xing shook his head.

When she bought the house in this community, she trusted the community's security and thought the environment was nice. Having lived here for so long, every time Grandpa Qin went out, apart from worrying about his health, she never worried that any bad people would appear in the community.

But at this moment, a number of unpleasant thoughts flashed through Joe's mind.

Seeing that the two looked unwell, the property management staff quickly explained, "Don't worry, although it's not finished over there yet, there won't be any safety issues. We've been protecting the construction site, and residents aren't allowed to go there until it's completed. So the old man wouldn't go there. Maybe he just saw someone or something and that's why he went that way."

Whatever the reason, we have to go and find them.

Qin Yi said to Qiao Xing, "Sister-in-law, you wait here for news. I'm going to find Grandpa. Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine."

Qiao Xing grabbed his arm, her breath trembling slightly, "I'll go with you."

Qin Yi was a little worried, but Qiao Xing insisted, so he had no choice but to agree.

Led by the property management staff, the two arrived at the path next to the park.

The path is paved with pebbles, and there are lush green lawns on both sides. Further in, you can see several large trees, which were left by the property management staff to build a pavilion.

Next to the tree, there was indeed a construction site surrounded by barriers.

The property management staff weren't lying; the security measures here are indeed very good. Even if Grandpa Qin came here, he wouldn't be able to get in.

However, the surveillance footage shows that he did walk this way, but his figure could not be seen.

Qiao Xing's unease grew deeper and deeper.

A living person cannot simply disappear without a reason. If he really is gone, then something must have happened.

Qiao Xing didn't dare to think any further; she wanted to call Qin Ce.

But before she could take out her phone, Qin Yi's ears twitched, as if he had heard something.

He glanced behind him and said instinctively, "It sounds like Grandpa's voice!"

Qiao Xing didn't hear clearly, but Qin Yi had already walked in that direction, so she quickly followed.

When they rounded the hill and came down, the sound from before became clearer and clearer.

When Qin Yi and Qiao Xing found Grandpa Qin following the sound, he was sitting on the ground, holding his back, and saying "Ouch!" several times.

The old man was covered in weeds, even in his hair, as if he had been through something terrible.

When Qin Yi saw Grandpa Qin, his pupils contracted sharply. He froze for two seconds, then quickly ran over and helped Grandpa Qin up from the ground.

Although he was covered in a mess, he was alright. Qiao Xing breathed a heavy sigh of relief after confirming that he had no obvious external injuries.

Nevertheless, Qiao Xing's voice still carried an uncontrollable nasal tone as he spoke, "Grandpa, what brings you here? What happened?"

Qin Yi helped Grandpa Qin to a chair not far away and sat him down. He then removed the weeds from his body and gently brushed off the dust.

Grandpa Qin sighed and said with some annoyance, "I had only gone a few steps when I heard a cat meowing. I followed the sound and found it was tangled in a net. I untied it and was just about to leave when everything went black and I fell down uncontrollably."

Fortunately, the slope of the hill was not steep, and there was grass underfoot, so although Grandpa Qin fell, he was not seriously injured.

"Your back..."

Before Qin Yi could even touch him, Grandpa Qin cried out "Ouch!" again, "I think I strained my back. It hurts terribly. I wanted to come up, but I just couldn't. I was afraid you'd worry, so I was really anxious."

In the short time it took Qiao Xing to think about all the worst-case scenarios and possible accidents, but he never expected that Grandpa Qin would end up like this because he went to save a cat.

Fortunately, none of the bad accidents she had imagined happened.

It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

"Grandpa, shall we take you to the hospital?" Qiao Xing said worriedly.

Although Grandpa Qin seemed to be fine, Qiao Xing still couldn't feel at ease.

Based on what Grandpa Qin just said, we know that he didn't faint for no reason.

Whether there's anything wrong or not, I still need to check it out to feel at ease.

But Grandpa Qin waved his hand and said, "I just strained my back. I'll be fine after resting for a couple of days. Going to the hospital and going back and forth is too much trouble. Forget it."

Qin Yi said from the side, "Your sister-in-law is just worried about you. You're already this age, a fall is no small matter. Just to be on the safe side, you should go to the hospital to get checked out."

Qin Yi's words did not convince Grandpa Qin. He insisted, "I already said I'm fine and don't need to go to the hospital. If I really feel unwell, I will tell you. Don't worry."

"Grandpa, please don't..." Qin Yi became a little anxious when he saw how stubborn he was.

But Qiao Xing interrupted him and said to Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's go home and I'll call the doctor to take a look at you."

“Taking those medications every day is troublesome enough, but seeing Dr. Chen makes me feel even worse. Forget it.”

Grandpa Qin insisted on not going to the hospital and wouldn't let Dr. Chen come to see him, and Qin Yi and Qiao Xing couldn't do anything about it.

After returning home, Grandpa Qin was taken back to his room. As soon as Qiao Xing came out of the room, Qin Yi asked, "Why is the old man so stubborn? He won't go to the hospital, and he won't even see a doctor. It's like there are some fierce demons in the hospital."

Qiao Xing felt a tightness in her chest and felt a bit uncomfortable.

She knew why Grandpa Qin was so resistant.

He knew his physical condition better than anyone else; he knew that going to the hospital would definitely reveal a problem.

He didn't want to go because he didn't want to face the test results. As long as he didn't get tested, he could keep telling himself that he was healthy.

But Qiao Xing knew that this couldn't go on; his physical condition was deteriorating day by day, and it was visibly so.

His so-called health was just a facade he put on so as not to worry the younger generation.

In the afternoon, when Qin Ce returned, Qiao Xing told him about what had happened that day.
