However, the more Li Mingxi worried about him, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Therefore, seeing Li Mingxi's worried look on his face, he still spoke with a firm face.

"No, you're overthinking it, kid. I wanted to go there on my own, no one forced me. It just so happens that I've had enough of this place, and it's actually pretty good to live somewhere else!"

Having said that, he looked much more relaxed.

Li Mingxi looked at the old man's expression and knew that no matter how much he said, it would be of no use at this moment!

After all, the old man had already made up his mind, so anything I said at this point would seem redundant!

However, she was still a little worried, so after hesitating for a long time, she continued to speak.

"It's fine if you go, but when will you come back?"

Old man Wang didn't know when he would be able to come back, so when he heard Li Mingxi ask this, he spoke directly.

"It's hard to say. Who knows when I'll be back? But I think it won't be too soon. We'll see when the time comes!"

Upon hearing what the old man said, Li Mingxi felt his heart sink and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Before Li Mingxi had time to feel sad, he heard the old man speak again.

"You must take good care of the things I gave you before!"

Li Mingxi knew what the old man meant without him saying much!

She knew very well how important those medical books were. Now that the old man gave such an order again, Li Mingxi knew that he was also afraid that someone would covet those medical books.

Especially since the old man is going to such a far place this time, maybe he will never come back, so the medical book will have to be taken care of by her!

"How about I return the things to you and you keep them?"

Old Man Wang waved his hand and said indifferently, "No need to give it to me, just take it. You can see the situation. If everything is fine and I can't come back, you can just hand it over to the country!"

Hearing the old man's words, Li Mingxi felt even more upset. For some reason, she always felt that these were a bit like his last words.

Glancing at the old man, Li Mingxi solemnly assured, "Don't worry, now that the things are in my hands, I will definitely keep them safe!"

"If you really can't come back, I'll just hand the things over to the country!"

Hearing Li Mingxi say this, the old man felt much more relieved and said calmly, "Okay, in that case, I've said everything I wanted to say, and there's nothing else to say!"

"By the way, a new batch of old items arrived these days. Go and take a look, they're all over there!"

After saying this, he sat down directly without caring about Li Mingxi's reaction.

Li Mingxi originally thought that the old man was about to leave and wanted to spend more time with him.

Who would have thought that when Old Man Wang saw Li Mingxi wanted to sit with him, he directly shouted to drive her away.

"Alright, alright, don't stay here anymore, go and do what you need to do!"

"But aren't you leaving? Can't I stay here with you a little longer?"

Hearing Li Mingxi say this, Old Man Wang glared at him and scolded him.

"Why should I accompany you? I'm fine here, I don't need you to accompany me!"

"Just go do what you need to do and don't get in the way!"

Seeing that the old man had already driven everyone away, Li Mingxi had to turn around and leave no matter how reluctant he was and how much he wanted to say.

Before turning around, Li Mingxi took a look at the old man's lonely and resolute look, and he was still a little worried.

After all, Old Man Wang is not young anymore, and no one knows where Zhu Qiang and Huo Jingchen are going to take him?

Is the place we are going to far? Can the old man’s body withstand it?

However, thinking about the identities of the two, Li Mingxi felt that they would not take the old man to do anything bad.

After all, they have to live up to the clothes they wear, right?

However, as to whether they were going to take the old man to the front line or do something else, Li Mingxi had no idea!

In short, they definitely needed the old man's medical skills, otherwise, they wouldn't have come here specifically.

After figuring this out, Li Mingxi felt much more at ease!

On this side, Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang had been watching outside the scrap yard, even though the old man had agreed to leave with them.

Huo Jingchen was still a little worried. After all, the old man's identity was very special. If something happened at this critical moment, and the news of the old leader's poor health was leaked, it would inevitably attract the attention of various forces.

Therefore, he and Zhu Qiang squatted not far from the entrance of the scrap station to prevent any accidents from happening.

Look, the two of them were waiting there when they saw Li Mingxi coming here from a distance.

Seeing Li Mingxi coming over, Zhu Qiang subconsciously wanted to say hello to her, but then he changed his mind and realized that he was carrying out a mission, so he quickly gave up the idea!

However, as he watched Li Mingxi disappear at the door of the scrap station, he still asked the doubts in his heart.

"Captain, what do you think is the relationship between this old doctor and Li Mingxi? Why would Li Mingxi come to the scrap yard for no reason? She can't be here to sell scrap; it doesn't look like that. Or, do they actually know each other? But how is that possible? Their lives don't overlap at all. How could they have met?"

Huo Jingchen shook his head. He couldn't understand why Li Mingxi, a girl who lived in the countryside all day, actually knew Old Man Wang. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't make sense!

Although he thought so, he had a vague feeling in his heart that the relationship between the two of them was unusual!

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhu Qiang speak again, "Boss, you said that last time, it was she who went over there to find someone who rescued the old man. Could these two be some kind of master-disciple relationship?"

Huo Jingchen didn't know either. If the two knew each other, that would be understandable. But if they were said to be master and disciple, he always felt that it was a bit too much!

Just when the two were still making a series of guesses, they saw Li Mingxi about to walk out.

According to their previous guess, the old man should entrust Li Mingxi with something.

What surprised the two was that when Li Mingxi came out, he had nothing with him except a few old porcelain items on his bicycle.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhu Qiang was the first to ask, "What's going on? Why is she carrying all these old bottles and cans? What are they used for?"

Huo Jingchen had the same doubt in his mind, but he didn't think much about it.

As for the reason why the two met, he thought it was probably because Li Mingxi usually liked to buy old books and the like, and over time, the two naturally got to know each other.
