"I...I wasn't nervous," Liu Yihang said awkwardly.

The two arrived before they could finish speaking.

This is a military hospital, and the guards at the entrance are all armed soldiers, giving it a solemn and dignified appearance.

Qin Meihua took out a pass, and the soldiers at the gate immediately let her through.

Liu Yihang got out of the car carrying the fruit basket he had bought by the roadside on his way there.

The two arrived at the inpatient department one after the other. Along the way, there was a soldier standing guard every few dozen meters, and the protection was very tight. When they went upstairs, it was even more exaggerated, with a soldier standing guard every ten steps.

There was no noise in the hallway.

The solemn and dignified atmosphere made Liu Yihang feel as if he were in the Great Hall of the People, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Qin Meihua led him to a ward with two sentry posts at the entrance.

After the two guards saluted, they made way for them.

Only then did Liu Yihang see the blood-soaked man he had saved that night.

He was covered in tubes and looked somewhat disheveled. He was just an ordinary old man with gray hair and looked very haggard because of his illness, but he was very kind and had a friendly smile on his face.

"You've arrived?" he said warmly, as if they had met countless times before.

"Hello, Mr. Luo." Liu Yihang stepped forward, bowed, and put down the fruit basket in his hand.

He already knew from Qin Meihua that the kind and admirable old man was named Luo Minsheng.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"I want to thank you for saving my life. I wouldn't mind losing it, but I still have so many unfinished things to do, and I'm really worried about them." Luo Minsheng looked at the young man in front of him, gently took his hand, and felt an indescribable sense of warmth in his heart.

"Mr. Luo, my name is Liu Yihang. I'm sorry to meet you in this way. I hope you will get better soon."

"I'll call you Yihang, child. You are so brave and fearless at such a young age. You give me hope for the future of our country."

"Compared to your contributions, it's nothing. You should rest well and take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you again when I have time." The doctor had already instructed me before I went in that I shouldn't let the patient expend too much energy.

"Goodbye, Yihang." The old man waved gently.

Goodbye, Mr. Luo.

They said goodbye to each other sincerely and looked forward to their next meeting.

After leaving the hospital, Qin Meihua wanted to take Liu Yihang out for a meal to express her gratitude.

Liu Yihang declined, considering that she had patients to take care of and many things to handle. He figured there would be plenty of time in the future.

Qin Meihua was indeed very busy. She had been so busy lately that she had to take care of her critically ill husband and also find time to handle work matters. She hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, and she had become so thin that she looked unrecognizable.

She herself is a diplomat who has been working on the front lines for many years, and she and her husband rarely see each other.

Their marriage was more of a spiritual union; they actually spent very little time together. Both of them wisely chose not to have children and focused on their careers.

Although both of them loved children, they both understood that they couldn't provide the child with companionship and care, so they simply decided not to let him come into this world to suffer.

Married for thirty years, this incident involving Luo Minsheng was the longest they had ever spent together.

Qin Meihua felt a little guilty.

"Yihang, is there any particular wish you want to fulfill? As long as it doesn't involve illegal or criminal activities, I will do my best to help within my capabilities."

I see you're still quite young. What are your plans for the future? Do you want to open a shop like your parents, or do you have other dreams?

"By the way, do you want to study? I have a friend who teaches at Tianzhou University, right near your home. If you're interested, I can use my connections to get you a spot."

Qin Meihua had actually considered things very thoroughly. It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. Young people have countless possibilities for the future, so it's important for them to learn some knowledge.

Even for her, securing a spot at Tianzhou University would require a significant investment of time and effort, given that it is a top-tier institution of higher learning.

But she overlooked the most important thing.

Is it possible that they were originally a student at Tianzhou University?

Liu Yihang was both amused and exasperated.

"Aunt Qin, I forgot to tell you, I just got into Tianzhou University this year and am currently studying archaeology."

Qin Meihua was embarrassed for a moment. Out of respect, she did not investigate Liu Yihang's background. She simply assumed that he was following in his father's footsteps and helping his parents with chores at Wenxiangju, which led to the misunderstanding.

"Haha, that's perfect. I underestimated how good you are. I apologize."

"If you ever need anything in the future, just call me, and I'll do everything I can to help you." Qin Meihua patted Liu Yihang on the shoulder, making a solemn promise.

"Aunt Qin, you're too kind. I just did what I was supposed to do. Saving Old Luo was just a coincidence, so please don't worry about it."

Qin Meihua grew to like this young man more and more; he was sincere, brave, fearless, and humble.

"Yihang, you are such a wonderful person. I like you very much. Let's keep in touch."

"Okay, Aunt Qin, let's keep in touch."

After the two parted ways, Liu Yihang was about to go home when he received a call from Miao Cuihua.

The eight raw stones and the imperial green jadeite that he bought at the jade exchange conference have all returned. Miao Cuihua told him to come over in the afternoon to see how the stones are cut.

Liu Yihang, knowing that his appointment with Chen Yiping was in the evening, readily agreed to go right away.

Miao Cuihua had already packed up his last batch of rough stones and put them in a bank safe deposit box. Once the stone-cutting machine returned, he would retrieve them all and take them to the villa to be cut together.

Speaking of the villa, he also needs to find someone to renovate it. He can ask Miao Cuihua later if she knows any good renovation teams.

When I bought the villa, I only had a few million yuan. I thought I could save money and just do some simple cleaning so I could move in.

Things are different now, but he still wants to tidy up the house properly, since it will be a place for the whole family to live together in the future.

Liu Yihang took a taxi to Miao Cuihua's Biyun Building.

The same assistant from last time came down to pick him up.

When the two arrived at the stone-cutting workshop, there were already many people gathered inside, all observing the appearance of the raw stones.

As soon as Miao Cuihua saw him coming, she immediately pulled him to the main seat and made him stand with her.

"Let me introduce you. This is one of my friends and business partners. We got this rough stone together."

Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

Liu Yihang looked around for a while but didn't see the imperial green jade. He figured it was probably stored away separately, given how valuable it was.

When Liu Yihang arrived, Miao Cuihua immediately instructed the stone-cutting master to begin cutting the stone.

Three machines in the workshop started operating at the same time, and a piercing sound immediately filled the air.
