The group hurriedly headed to the provincial party committee compound in Shachang City, Hunan Province.
I heard that the provincial party secretary had also fallen ill, and I assumed he was like those patients with parasites in their bodies.
If the top leader also gets into trouble, then...
The healthcare provider was examining Huo Zhegan and was somewhat surprised to see so many people at Tanran's house.
"Doctor, how is my husband?" Song Chunli asked anxiously. "Oh dear, I've only been back in Yanjing for a few days, how could I have gotten sick already?"
The real reason for this matter was not made public, so many people are unaware of it.
In front of others, Song Chunli also pretended to be completely unaware of the situation.
When Huo Zhegan saw his wife arrive, he looked somewhat embarrassed. He knew he was wrong for what he had done. He hadn't known how to face his wife, so even though several days had passed, he hadn't dared to call her.
Fortunately, his wife came over immediately when she learned that he was not feeling well.
His wife has many flaws and shortcomings, and... she's not pretty either, but she's genuinely good to him. At least he never worries that Song Chunli will stab him in the back, and she's always there for him during his most difficult and embarrassing times.
"It's nothing, I'm just getting old, I'll be fine after a period of rest," Huo Zhe said with a dry laugh. "You should go back now."
Huo Zhegan asked the doctor to leave so he could talk to his family.
Huo Yingjie greeted Huo Zhegan and personally escorted the doctor to his home, asking, "Doctor, how is my uncle's health?"
"I just caught a cold, and my blood pressure is a little high, but otherwise I'm fine. As long as I don't overwork myself and take care of myself, I should recover," the doctor replied without hiding anything.
He did indeed find out these things and wasn't lying, which put him at ease.
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Thank you, doctor."
"You're welcome, it's what I should do," the doctor said with a smile, then took his leave.
He also takes responsibility when his superiors get into trouble.
Huo Zhegan felt a warmth in his heart as he listened to his wife's complaints and his daughter's comforting words.
Being alone during this time did make him feel uneasy, and he kept thinking about bad things.
"Stop crying, Chunli, Yingqi. Go to the kitchen and make me something nice to eat," Huo Zhegan said. "I haven't had your cooking in so long, I'm really craving it!"
Huo Zhegan's words made Song Chunli stop crying and start laughing.
A simple complaint made Song Chunli happier than Huo Zhe's apology.
For an old married couple, there's really no need for them to be overly polite in apologizing.
"Alright, Yingqi and I will go cook. You two go to the study; you probably have something to talk about," Song Chunli said with a smile. Let it all go. We're an old married couple; arguing so much is just making things difficult for ourselves.
Although she and her husband didn't have a passionate love affair, they were loyal to each other and never betrayed one another.
If he hadn't been bewitched, Huo Zhegan wouldn't have suffered such a disgraceful end.
Let it go. Her husband didn't do it on purpose; he was framed. Song Chunli decided not to hold it against him this time.
Huo Yingjie followed his uncle to the study.
Huo Yingjie looked around and saw that there were no recording devices in the room. Then he took out two bottles of medicine and said, "Uncle, this is medicine that I had someone make to strengthen your body and restore your vitality. Take one pill a day for a month and your body will be back to normal."
"Thank you, Yingjie." Huo Zhegan said to his nephew with some shame, "I have brought shame to the family."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yingjie comforted him, "Uncle, you're overthinking it. We're just ordinary people. Those people came prepared and possessed secret techniques. Anyone would have fallen for their schemes if they were caught off guard. I've already contacted Huashan to find someone with expertise in metaphysics to stay by your side and protect you. You can focus on your work and recuperate. He'll take care of everything else."
"Is it that young man named Hua Shan from before?" Huo Zhe asked. He had a good impression of Hua Shan and asked his nephew for him to keep as a bodyguard, so that he could follow him around and be safer, and he could finally sleep soundly.
Since all that happened, he can't sleep at night without taking sleeping pills.
Even when I'm asleep, I still dream at night!
My dream was filled with disgusting images: big bugs, small bugs, all kinds of bugs, countless bugs...
With Mount Hua there, perhaps he can find some peace of mind.
“No, it’s not him,” Huo Yingjie said. “It’s his junior brother, a nice young man. He’s perfect for being your bodyguard and protecting your safety. As for the payment, I’ll give it to Huashan. You just need to take care of your food and lodging.”
"Then I'll leave it to you," Huo Zhe said. "Even if you don't send someone, I'll still look for these talented people. I was really scared before."
Huo Yingjie laughed and said, "That's what I think too. We don't have any intention to harm others, but we can't be without the intention to guard against them."
“I’ve already handled things in Nanhu Province. Everything was done according to your instructions, and we’ve indeed overcome the difficulties.” Huo Zhegan breathed a sigh of relief. “If you hadn’t arrived in time, I would have been in deep trouble this time. Not only would I have had problems at work and gone to jail, but I probably wouldn’t have been able to save my life.”
Huo Zhegan was deeply moved as he said these words.
"This time, you should thank your uncle. It was after she went back that she came to us crying. We all believe in your uncle's character, and his grandson is already an adult, how could he do such a thing! If what your aunt said is true, then she must be possessed by an evil spirit, so we sent someone with extraordinary abilities over there, which resolved this crisis in time."
Huo Zhegan was also shaken and said, "After I was controlled, I would have some time to regain my senses each day, so I would scold your aunt. Your aunt has a bad temper. She's been with me her whole life. Apart from the few times she said something outrageous that I taught her a lesson, I never say anything to her. If I scold your aunt, she can't stand it and will run back to Yanjing."
Hearing his uncle's words, Huo Yingjie was a little confused and asked, "Uncle, now that you've regained your senses, you can talk to Aunt properly, or you can just call us."
“Sigh, even my secretary Li is already one of their people. I'm also being monitored by others while I'm working. How could I dare to call you? I'd probably be killed before I even said anything. Besides, your aunt's personality is such that she can't handle things. If she knew I was in danger, she would definitely not want to leave me. Even if she went to Yanjing to report, she would be found out. So I used this trick. Because I know that as long as your aunt gets to Yanjing safely, I believe you will notice something is wrong. That way, your aunt will be safe, and you will know my whereabouts and come back to save me.”
