Jiang Qiao snorted coldly, "It seems that someone has already started to have designs on me. Nine times out of ten, it's related to digging an underground warehouse. Sigh, my life is hard enough. I originally wanted to live a peaceful life, but now it seems that will be difficult."

Song Shutian felt quite apologetic. He really hadn't expected anyone to have their eye on Jiang Qiao. "It's all my fault. I should have kept you out of the public eye back then."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's all fate. If you hadn't appeared, you would have been attacked from both sides. If those things had fallen into enemy hands, the consequences would have been immeasurable. So be it, I'll just be more careful in the future."

It would be a lie to say she wasn't upset. She could manage, but what about the rest of the family? That was what troubled Jiang Qiao the most; being targeted by a thief was no pleasant experience.

"Hey, why did you come all this way to see me? You didn't just come here to tell me this, did you?"

As Song Shutian drove, he smiled bitterly, "Do I have that much free time? Those patients in the hospital are vomiting and having diarrhea, they're all almost dehydrated. Our director wants you to go and take a look. People are like this, if they keep having diarrhea like this, even healthy people will die."

"This is all normal. I told him before that he would have these symptoms. Okay, let's go and take a look."

Jiang Qiao knew in her heart that the medicine contained not only traditional Chinese medicine but also Western medicine that she had mixed. This was the only method she could think of, and if it didn't work this time, she was out of options.

When they arrived at the hospital, they found that these people were barely clinging to life, and the medical staff were giving them the second dose of medicine that Jiang Qiao had prepared.

Jiang Jinyu wasn't there, so Jiang Qiao went inside to check on them. Those who had taken the medicine a second time were in much better condition, as the doctors had also said. The medicine was much more effective than the one they had used before.

"Jiang Qiao, what kind of medicine did you use? The effect is very obvious!"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's good that it works. I was really worried. If it doesn't work, I don't know how to use it."

I'll give them acupuncture first. You all stay outside and keep watch, don't let anyone disturb me.

When the patients saw that Jiang Qiao was going to give them acupuncture, their faces lit up with joy. Others were afraid, but they weren't. The young girl seemed to find the acupuncture quite comfortable.

Jiang Qiao missed lunch because of all the work. Song Shutian drove her to the guesthouse. After treating the patients, Jiang Qiao was not in good condition and he had to carry her out.

"Jiang Qiao, hold on, we're going back right away."

Ning Hao, who was waiting at the gate, saw Song Shutian carrying a little girl out of the car and instinctively knew that the little girl was Jiang Qiao.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Quick, let me hug you—"

Song Shutian didn't want to let go, but Ning Hao just kept snatching it away. He didn't know what was wrong with Ning Hao, but he used so much force that he had no choice but to let go.

"Quick, take her back to her room—"

Lu Zhiyuan, who was sitting outside drinking water, saw two men carrying a little girl in. Judging from her appearance, it was obviously Jiang Qiao.

"What's wrong with this girl? Quickly, take the child back inside—"

Lu Zhiyuan and Song Shutian knew each other. "Uncle Lu, do you know Jiang Qiao?"

Lu Zhiyuan glared at him. "Nonsense, why would I strike up a conversation if I didn't know her? What's wrong with this girl?"

Song Shutian glanced at the waiter leading the way and sighed, "Treating patients must be tiring; I guess he hasn't had enough rest."

Lu Zhiyuan knew a little about it, after all, Sun Hong had mentioned to him that the child had been brewing medicine for half the night, and his face immediately darkened, his tone naturally becoming less than pleasant.

"You guys are really something. She's still a child, and you treat her like this? Aren't you supposed to cherish the flowers of our motherland? Where is your cherishing? There are so many doctors, why does it have to be Jiang Qiao? The child is still in school, what use are you adults?"

Song Shutian smiled apologetically, "Uncle Lu, don't be angry. He's already in this state, there's no use getting angry. Let's go and see him."

Jiang Qiao hadn't eaten yet, so Song Shutian busied himself getting food for her. Jiang Qiao was already awake, but she didn't have much energy.

Seeing the concerned looks in Lu Zhiyuan and Ning Hao's eyes, she felt quite apologetic.

"I stayed up too late brewing the medicine last night and didn't get enough rest. Let me eat first. I have something to do, we'll talk later."

They were really hungry. The three people next to them watched Jiang Qiao finish her food, and finally they were all in sync, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing? You've exhausted Qiao'er like this. You should have found someone else to make the medicine. She's so young and loves to sleep. You've gone too far by doing this to her."

"Exactly! You don't care at all about a child who isn't your own. Let me tell you, hurry up and get someone to brew the medicine. You'll only be satisfied when you've worked the girl to death!"

Jiang Qiao knew that her second uncle and the others were doing it for her own good, so she smiled at them and said, "I'm fine, I'll recover after a good rest."

"By the way, Brother Song, we really need to find someone trustworthy to brew the medicine. I'll teach her how; the place is right here. You watch over her; I'm having a bit of a struggle right now."

Song Shutian nodded, but before he could speak, Lu Zhiyuan spoke first, "No need for anyone else, just Sun Hong, the one you chatted with last night. Have her watch over the preparation of the medicine. Go tell her supervisor that during this period, Sun Hong will not do anything but assist Jiang Qiao in preparing the medicine."

"Sun Hong?"

Lu Zhiyuan nodded. "This person is the child of my comrade-in-arms. Her father died in battle. This girl is trustworthy, no problem."

Jiang Qiao nodded from the side, "This person is good, he can be trusted, you go and make the arrangements."

After Song Shutian left, Jiang Qiao chatted with Lu Zhiyuan and Ning Hao for a while. Seeing how tired Jiang Qiao was, the two of them couldn't bear to trouble her any further.

"Hurry up and go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm in a meeting here these next two days."

Ning Hao nodded. "I'll come see you again tomorrow. Go to sleep now, I should be leaving soon too."

Seeing Jiang Qiao asleep, Ning Hao couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He felt sorry for her. What was this girl thinking? She already had parents at home, and they were of high status. She really didn't need to go through this. Wouldn't it be better for her to grow up slowly? Why did she have to put herself in this state?

Lu Zhiyuan, meanwhile, was observing Ning Hao. He looked good and energetic, but he wondered what the relationship was between the young man and the girl.

Since the other party was wearing a military uniform, he was obviously a soldier here. Especially looking at Ning Hao's eyes, Lu Zhiyuan's eyes twitched for no reason. Could this kid have something on his niece?

In order not to disturb Jiang Qiao's rest, he pulled Ning Hao out the door. When he looked at Ning Hao again, it was not the same look he gave Jiang Qiao. Most people really couldn't stand the way he looked at them.

"Young man, how did you come to know Jiang Qiao?"
