The next day, after breakfast, Zou Jialun brought a doctor over.

Zou Jialun introduced, "This is Director Fang Jinqi, a top surgeon at the Beijing Military Region Hospital. She is only 53 years old this year and has a very prestigious reputation in the surgical field."

Although Fang Jinqi is only 53 years old, he looks like he is nearly 60, and his hair is already gray, which is inconsistent with his age. However, his temperament is elegant and calm, which makes people feel at ease.

Su Yan stepped forward and extended her hand, "Director Fang, thank you so much for coming to Lanzhou to help my grandmother with her surgery. Our whole family is extremely grateful."

"Hey." Fang Jinqi laughed, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. I just happen to have some free time lately."

"I forgot to mention, Director Fang and Regiment Commander Jiang have a very good relationship, Su Yan, you don't need to be so reserved," Zou Jialun said.

Su Yan: "..." She knew who had invited them; there was no need to say that!

"Alright, enough with the pleasantries, let me check on the patient's condition first."

As Fang Jinqi spoke, he walked over to Granny Li's side and carefully examined her before looking at the examination report.

About fifteen minutes later, he said directly, "It's not a particularly major surgery, so let's schedule it for this afternoon. It should only take three or four hours to finish. After the surgery, you can stay in the hospital for observation for a week. If there are no major problems, you can be discharged and go home to recuperate."

Su Yan?

No, even the most skilled doctor in Lanzhou shook his head when he saw her grandmother's test results.

Why does Fang Jinqi sound so relaxed? It's as if there's no difficulty at all.

Zou Jialun, used to this, said from the side, "Director Fang has performed tens of thousands of surgeries, including those more serious than your grandmother's, so you don't need to worry."

"Dr. Fang, thank you so much! You're like a living saint!" Li Juan cried tears of joy.

Su Yan also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Now she truly witnessed the difference in skill level between doctors and hospitals in Lanzhou and Beijing.

Dr. Fang is a renowned figure in the field of surgery. It's a rare occasion for him to come to Lanzhou, and he's also going to give lectures to doctors at Lanzhou Hospital.

There was a bunch of doctors from the hospital craning their necks at the entrance, waiting for him to come out as if he were a precious treasure, so they left after deciding on the surgery time.

After watching the person leave, Zou Jialun looked at Su Yan and said, "Now you can rest assured, right?"

Su Yan nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"I wasn't much of a help, but Commander Jiang called my office at seven o'clock today to ask if Dr. Fang had arrived yet. He cares about you a lot."

Zou Jialun looked her over with a curious expression.

To be honest, he was a little suspicious that Su Yan and Jiang Jingxing had made some new progress.

Su Yan: No wonder he's a man whose only hobby besides work is gossiping.

After thinking for a few seconds, she hesitated and asked, "Dr. Zou, is Jiang Jingxing really that amazing?"

Zou Jialun stroked his chin. "Which aspect are you referring to as being good at?"

"In all aspects."

"That must be impressive. Look, first of all, his background is at the very top of the pyramid. His grandfather was a highly respected old general, a man whose cough could shake the entire capital."

Secondly, he himself is a legend in the Chinese military region. I don't know how powerful he is, but my grandfather told me that Jiang Jingxing will definitely rise to a higher position than his grandfather. Isn't that amazing?

As a man, Zou Jialun could only feel inferior to Jiang Jingxing.

Su Yan was instantly under immense pressure.

Damn, no wonder people are still willing to follow Jiang Jingxing around despite his terrible temper.

If I could marry him, how proud I would be!

She wasn't insecure; she was just afraid of trouble.

The thought of how many rivals she would have to deal with if their relationship were made public one day made her feel exhausted.

"Dr. Zou, I've finally found you." A nurse ran over and said, "I've admitted a patient who was in a car accident. You should go home now."

When it came to work, Zou Jialun immediately became serious and said to Su Yan, "Then I'll be going now."

After saying that, he strode away.

When Su Yan returned to the ward, Li Juan came over and said, "Yan, why don't you go back to town to deal with the Su family's affairs? I'll look after Grandma here, and we can't keep Mr. Tao's grandmother waiting for you for so long."

After all, they had already received money from the other party.

Su Yan had the same idea, so she said, "Okay, then I'll go back with Qianli later."

Huo Qianli had originally planned to go back today, but upon hearing Su Yan's words, she immediately said, "Then I'll go to the station to buy more tickets. You go back to the guesthouse to pack your things. You have one hour left."

Without delay, Su Yan hurriedly returned to the guesthouse to pack her things and then went to catch her ride.

We arrived in Anping Town at 1 p.m.

As Su Yan exited the bus station, she took out the gifts she had bought for Huo Qianli in Beijing. "These are all for you. I was only there for a short time; I only went to the department store once."

Watching her pull one item after another from her bag, Huo Qianli couldn't help but exclaim, "My God! So many!"

As she spoke, she lovingly hugged each item to her arms, her eyes only on the gifts.

"I bought your mother a silk scarf and a bright red lipstick, and your father some Moutai and tea. I'll visit you after I'm done with this busy period. Thank you all for helping me so much," Su Yan said.

Huo Qianli alone couldn't have the connections to influence the police station, so it was definitely her father who did it.

Moreover, Huo Qianli's father had to use connections to inquire about the admission notice.

Regardless of the size, you owe someone a favor.

If someone has the right, then it's only right for me to spend money to thank them.

"You're so thoughtful! You even bought gifts for my parents, things they both like. They'll be so happy." Huo Qianli said with a beaming smile, then put her arm around Su Yan's shoulder and said seriously, "But I have to tell you, I'm helping you because we're good friends, not because of these gifts. You don't need to feel like you owe me anything. If it were me, you would have found a way to help me too. We don't need to spend so much money in the future. Giving so many gifts only makes us feel distant."

Su Yan felt a warmth in her heart and smiled, "I'm not trying to flatter you. I just bought it because I thought it suited you. Besides, you are you, and your parents are your parents. I can be polite to you, but I can't be polite to them."

She knew this basic social etiquette.

"Alright, I can't argue with you." Huo Qianli said with a smile, "Then I'll go back first. Come to my house when you have time. My parents also want to see who you are."

"Okay, let's go back quickly."

Huo Qianli skipped away, clutching a handful of gifts to her chest.

Su Yan chuckled and shook her head, "Like someone who hasn't grown up."

But when she got home, she couldn't smile anymore.

The living room, kitchen, and bathroom were in complete disarray; every room had been ransacked, and the once crammed home was now empty.

There were dried bloodstains on the ground; she knew whose they were without even guessing.
