Chapter 40: Suspicion of the Iron-blooded Tenderness of the Republic of China

Rong Zhen followed Jiang Yu's men through the long white corridor, encountering four or five waves of guards along the way.

If there wasn't someone leading the way, she might not have been able to get in if she came by herself.

After passing many checkpoints, she was finally taken to the man's ward.

But I could only take a peek inside through the small window in front of the ward door.

Jiang Yu's subordinate kindly explained, "The director's injuries are quite serious and he's still in critical condition. This situation is quite special, so..."

"It's okay, I'll just take a look." Rong Zhen expressed her understanding and didn't make things difficult for him.

The door of the ward was tightly closed, and through the small window one could clearly see the figure lying quietly on the bed inside.

His hands, feet and body were all covered with a blanket, with only his head exposed, but it was also wrapped in gauze, so no facial features could be seen.

Rong Zhen couldn't help but frown after reading it: "Is the injury so serious?"

Although she had heard them say it was serious, she thought it was just broken arms and legs, but she didn't expect that even the head and face were injured so badly.

Jiang Yu's men nodded heavily, "The doctor said there's a high probability of disfigurement, so we should be mentally prepared."

Rongzhen thought of the man's big beard that covered half of his face, and thought that even if he was disfigured, as long as his mouth and eyes were not crooked, it would not be a big problem for him.

However, a disfigured face seemed to be more serious than a disabled limb for people at that time. After all, this was still an era where appearance could affect one's career and economy. He was an official, and once his face was disfigured, it was very likely that it would really affect his future.

Rongzhen thought about it over and over but couldn't help much, so she could only wish him a speedy recovery.

Jiang Yu's men thanked her and sent her away. She couldn't stay here for too long.

After coming out of the quiet and depressing atmosphere, Rongzhen slowly exhaled and looked up to see A Cui waiting for her not far away.

Ah Cui waved happily when she saw her come out, "Miss, I've already found out where your uncle's ward is. Let's go there now."

Rongzhen nodded and asked her to lead the way. Halfway through the journey, they met the fat aunt who came out to greet them.

Auntie Fat smiled and said, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to find the place."

Ah Cui said cleverly, "How is that possible? When the young lady went to visit her savior, I specifically asked the nurse about it."

"Savior?" Aunt Fat pretended to be confused.

Rongzhen briefly recounted the incident of danger when the train arrived at the station, and Aunt Pang patted her chest in relief.

While the three of them were talking, they arrived at Jiang Yu's ward.

Mr. Li happened to open the door and came out. Seeing them, he made a hushing gesture and said, "He's asleep. Please keep quiet when you go in."

Auntie Pang immediately said, "Then please go in, Madam. We will all be waiting outside."

A Cui was also stopped outside the door by her, and only Rong Zhen was allowed in.

Rongzhen was shocked when she entered.

Anyone would feel dizzy and heartbeat quicken when suddenly seeing the mummy-like guy lying on the bed.

Look at the bandages on his hands and feet, it's like they're free. Isn't he just a small fry caught in the fire at the city gate? How come his injuries seem to be worse than the main person's?

Rongzhen was so scared that she didn't dare to go forward.

As she hesitated, the person on the bed suddenly took a deep breath, as if startled from a dream and about to wake up.

Rongzhen thought that since she was already here, it would be a shame not to show her face, so she stepped forward.

It must be said that the cheap fiancé is worthy of being the father of the heroine of the novel. Even though most of his head is now wrapped in bandages, the exposed white jade-like chin still reveals some of his charm.

Not to mention the two rosy thin lips and the high nose bridge above the chin... wait, rosy?

Rongzhen sensed something was wrong and took a step forward, about to bend down to take a closer look, when her wrist, which was resting on the edge of the bed, was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.

The person on the bed fluttered his eyelashes and opened his bright eyes. He looked at her with confusion and bewilderment: "Who are you? Why am I here?"

In this situation and with this question, Rongzhen decisively pressed the call bell.

The doctors and nurses came very quickly, and Auntie Fat and Mr. Li followed suit.

Rongzhen stood in the middle of the crowd and was surrounded, unable to leave even if she wanted to.

Because the man held her wrist tightly and insisted that she stay by his side before he would be willing to be examined.

Aunt Fat originally wanted to go in and replace her, but she found that her young master didn't recognize her at all, which made her very sad.

Seeing this, Mr. Li immediately went forward to try, but also failed and did not recognize the person.

The doctor could only let Rong Zhen stay by his side and did a lot of examinations and tests. Finally, he concluded that the man probably had hit his head and lost his memory. He would probably only be able to remember again after the blood clots in his brain dissipated.

Auntie Pang said distressedly, "Then quickly help our young master dissolve the blood clots. No matter how much it costs, it's fine."

The foreign doctors in the church hospital would like to earn this money, but unfortunately they do not have the relevant skills and dare not operate on people's heads.

"I heard that Chinese Traditional Medicine has a magical acupuncture technique for removing blood stasis. Perhaps you can find a doctor in your own country to try it."

The foreign doctor left this advice, and after confirming that the injured person had no other serious illnesses, he took the nurse and prepared to leave.

Rong Zhen quickly struggled to free her wrist and asked, "Why is he holding me tightly? Is there any way you can make him let go?"

Dr. Yang said that this was a nestling complex, because the first person he saw when he opened his eyes after losing his memory was her, so he instinctively became dependent on her.

This is a very normal psychological phenomenon, just like a chick will mistake the first living thing it sees for its mother and follow it.

Auntie Fatty and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this. "No, what mother? This is your wife, Master!"

"Are you my wife?" Jiang Yu's eyes lit up and he loosened his grip.

Rongzhen smiled faintly: "Not yet, but if you want, you can actually be a mother."

Thinking about the scene of her cheap fiancé becoming her grown-up son, she couldn't stop laughing.

Just kidding, although I don’t know what caused the current situation, it is urgent to find an old Chinese doctor to check this guy’s brain.

Anyway, she thought she had just arrived and would not disrupt the plot to this extent. It definitely had nothing to do with her. It was the other party who went astray.

If the plot is a mature one, it should automatically steer it back on track before the main storyline begins.

No one knew about Rong Zhen's series of psychological activities. When she came to her senses, she met Jiang Yu's gaze as if he was looking at a rabbit.

Rongzhen: "...What's that look in your eyes?"

Jiang Yu finally let go of her hand, adjusted his mummy suit, and said, "I just lost my memory, I'm not stupid. I can't tell the difference between my wife and my mother."

She is so bold that she wants to take advantage of someone's misfortune to act as his elder. It's impossible for her to be his mother, but she can be his bride.

"Your voice..." Rongzhen calmed down and realized that his voice was clear and pleasant. It sounded quite familiar, a bit like that director.

Jiang Yu was very calm, "What's wrong with my voice?"

"It's nothing. Can the bandage on your head be removed?" she wanted to confirm.

Auntie Pang stopped him, saying, "Young Master, there are still wounds on his head and face. The doctor said we can't remove them now. We have to wait ten days or half a month until the wounds are almost healed."

Jiang Yu nodded, and Rong Zhen's eyes fell on his smooth chin, and the suspicion in her heart was reduced a lot.

But looking at his broad shoulders and long legs that almost extend beyond the hospital bed, he looks completely different from the heroine's father described in the story.

The heroine's father in the novel was a well-mannered and handsome young man of culture and knowledge in the early stage. He could not lift anything and was a complete weak pretty boy.

But look at the person in front of you, he is so big, I always feel that the size doesn’t match, is there a mistake?

Rong Zhen was suspicious and asked tentatively, "Can you get out of bed now?"

Jiang Yu moved his bandaged leg, and the pain made his exposed skin sweat. Finally, he lay there and shook his head in disappointment.

Looking at it this way, it seems to fit the image of the heroine's father.

Rongzhen quickly asked him to stop trying and asked Mr. Li to borrow a wheelchair from the hospital.

Jiang Yu sat in a wheelchair, but his upper body still looked stronger and taller than that of an ordinary man.

Although he appeared weak and pale, his unbendable back and the faint military aura he exuded still made people suspicious.

Just at this time, the housekeeper and Dazhu rushed over, and Rongzhen planned to confirm with them whether this person was Jiang Yubenyu.
