"Come in"

The door was pushed open a crack, and Zhang Jianshe's head peeked in.

"Uncle Li, Deputy Director Zhao has come in person."

"Okay, I'm coming."

When Li Chu came out from the outside room, Xu Ying was no longer there.

A middle-aged man with a square face, dressed in military uniform, was standing in the center of the house.

Li Chu came out from the inner room, and the two saluted each other and shook hands.

Then he quietly recounted what had just happened to Deputy Director Zhao.

Deputy Director Zhao's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Don't worry, Vice Dean Li, the matter will be investigated and clarified soon."

"I'm asking Deputy Director Zhao for help."

"This is our job responsibility."

They came and went in a hurry, without wasting any more time. Deputy Director Zhao, along with his men and Xu Ying, who could no longer walk, left.

Zhang Jianshe knew what Li Chu had just told him, so he left the ward with Secretary Liu.

"Honey, you should go back to the office too, it's almost time to get off work."

"What are you going to do about dinner later?"

"It's okay, I'll have someone in the duty room bring me my food."

Ding Qiunan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll finish eating here before going back. I'll go tell Xiaotian later and ask him to eat first too."

Hobby

"Alright then, go to the small canteen first and ask them to cook some millet porridge and bring it over later. I'll wake Uncle Wang up and let him eat something before going back to sleep."

"good"

After Ding Qiunan left, only Li Chu and Uncle Wang, who was sleeping, remained in the ward. He got up, walked to the phone, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

"Director Cheng, this is Li Chu. I need to talk to you about something..."

Xu Ying is a special nurse dispatched by the Health Bureau. Now that something has happened to her, the bureau must be notified.

After hearing Li Chu's report, Director Cheng on the other end of the phone felt like he wanted to die. This had happened at the most crucial moment for him, and now he could only pray to God for protection.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chu sat on the sofa, leaned back, tilted his head back, closed his eyes slightly, and carefully pondered Xu Ying.

What was she going to do with that medicine?

To say it was for someone else to eat was pure deception; Li Chu would never believe it.

That medicine was specially prepared for Uncle Wang. Anyone else who took it would either die or be half-dead, even if Aunt Wang took it. Even if Li Chu took it himself, the consequence would be the same—losing half his life. So every time he delivered the medicine to Uncle Wang and the others, he would give them repeated instructions.

So what exactly did she want to do with that medicine?

And who made her do this?

Li Chu absolutely did not believe that this was Xu Ying's own idea. She had no reason to believe it; this thing was medicine, not candy.

He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to stop thinking about it and take this opportunity to stop Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang from taking their medicine for a while.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone again and called Wang Jun's office.

If it were merely a matter of Uncle Wang being overworked, he wouldn't have thought to inform Wang Jun. But now things have changed, and as Uncle Wang's only remaining eldest son, he has the right to know about this matter.

As the end-of-get off work bell rang, Director Cheng of the special needs ward rushed over again.

"Vice Dean Li, what would you and the leaders like to eat? I'll arrange for the small canteen to prepare it for you."

"No need, Director Cheng, my wife has already made the arrangements."

"Vice Dean Li, I'm on duty tonight. I'll be in the duty room the whole time. Please let me know if you need anything."

He's incredibly shrewd; if it weren't for special circumstances, he definitely wouldn't have stayed on duty.

After a while, Ding Qiunan brought over the food.

They quickly finished eating, and then Li Chu used acupuncture to wake Uncle Wang up. He gave Uncle Wang a bowl of millet porridge, and then put a blanket under Uncle Wang's back so that he could sit for a while.

After finishing everything here, Ding Qiunan left. She had to go back to feed the dog first, and then go to Uncle Wang's house; she had a lot to do.

As for what just happened, Li Chu didn't tell Uncle Wang yet; he planned to wait until Wang Jun arrived before telling him.

"Xiao Chu, what's your opinion on establishing a special economic zone in the south?"

With nothing else to do, Uncle Wang simply asked Li Chu for his opinion on the matter.

"Uncle, you must have asked the wrong person. What can I do besides sit and watch?"

"Stop trying to talk your way out of this, kid. Answer my question directly."

Uncle Wang quite enjoys chatting with his nephew. Although sometimes his mouth often utters some unreliable words, he also has different opinions on many things, and some of what he says is quite thought-provoking.

After being scolded by Uncle Wang, Li Chu dared not talk nonsense anymore. He thought for a moment before asking, "Uncle, when you say the south, you mean Bao'an, right?"

"Yes, but it's not called that anymore; it's been upgraded from a county to a city."

Li Chu knew this place, of course. If nothing unexpected happened, a special economic zone would be established next year, and then the city would develop at an astonishing speed, as if it had a cheat code.

The two people, one old and one young, started chatting about this topic.

Before Wang Jun arrived, Li Qin and Wang Ziwen ran over first, followed by Ding's parents; the four of them came together.

Ding Qiunan ran into Li Qin when she got home to feed the dog, and told her about Uncle Wang.

No matter what, they had to come and see. When Ding Qiunan heard that her sister and brother-in-law were coming, she simply asked her parents to come along as well.

The four of them didn't stay long; they chatted for a few minutes and then left.

They had barely left when Wang Jun arrived.

Uncle Wang was taken aback when he saw his son and daughter-in-law walk in. He looked at Li Chu, seemingly surprised as to why he had called the couple over.

"Brother Chu, you told me on the phone that you had something to do. What is it?"

Li Chu got up, closed the door to the outer room, and then came in to recount what had happened that afternoon.

Li Qiaoyun was dumbfounded. She had lived for over thirty years and had never encountered such a ridiculous and absurd thing.

After listening to Li Chu's words, Uncle Wang, who was sitting on the hospital bed, fell into deep thought.

"Brother Chu, what do you think Xu Ying is trying to do by stealing the medicine you prescribed for my dad?"

Li Chu shook his head: "I thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything."

"Could it really have been taken back to her dad?"

"No, as a special nurse, she understands the effects of the drug; she would never use her father as a guinea pig."

Uncle Wang, who was deep in thought, came back to his senses: "Alright, you two stop guessing. I'll be notified of any progress over there, and I'll let you know then."

Uncle Wang thought for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

"Junzi, you two should go back quickly. You must be very busy these days."

"Dad, I spoke with the leader after I came out."

"Even if I say it, it won't work. Business is important. I don't have anything to do here. Xiao Chu is here. What else do you need to worry about?"
