Chapter 81 The man was still breathing.
The sleeping boat in the shallow pond was startled awake the moment the newcomer climbed into the room.
He instinctively tried to roll over and get up in self-defense.
However, his body was so heavy that he had no control over it at all.
Chi Yanzhou was completely stunned.
He was both shocked and furious, secretly cursing himself for being so useless. But when he heard the deliberately light footsteps that sounded somewhat familiar, his shock and anger subsided a little.
Chi Yanzhou listened intently to the approaching footsteps, and finally felt relieved when he confirmed that it wasn't a bad person.
The person who climbed in through the window was not a bad guy, but Yan Hu.
Yan Hu came to the bedside and gently nudged Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan was woken up by a push. She was still very sleepy. She opened her eyes groggily, glanced at them, and then closed them again, thinking she was still dreaming.
The next moment, her sluggish mind cleared up a little, and she finally realized that she wasn't dreaming, but that there was someone standing by her bed.
She was so frightened that her eyes widened and she opened her mouth to scream.
Yan Hu quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Xia, don't shout, it's me, your Uncle Yan."
He spoke first, and his familiar voice finally calmed Xia Yuhuan's pounding heart a little.
Xia Yuhuan snapped out of her daze, pointed at Yan Hu's hand, and signaled to him to calm down so he could let go.
Yan Hu then let go.
"Uncle Yan, why are you climbing over the wall in the middle of the night? Is there some emergency?" Xia Yuhuan asked in a low voice.
She didn't know that people can be so frightening; if it weren't for the fact that it was Yan Hu who came, she would have cursed him out.
Her heart is still pounding wildly, like it's about to explode.
Yan Hu said in a low voice, "Wang Qi is still clinging to life. The leader asked me to come and pick you up to see if there's any chance to revive him."
Xia Yuhuan's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Wasn't he said to be dead? This..."
Yan Hu said in a low voice, "When he was found, his condition was indeed critical, and he was almost dead, but after Vice President Jiang's rescue efforts, he was kept alive."
"The other side had overreached, and fearing that revealing the truth would provoke further action from them, they told the leader that he was dead, and that was also the public's claim."
"It's Vice President Jiang's and the leadership's idea to bring you over for a try, but we don't know if your body can handle it?"
“My injury is all healed, I can do it!” Xia Yuhuan agreed without hesitation: “Uncle Yan, wait for me a moment, I’ll get dressed.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you by the window. We’ll go down through the window again in a bit. Take your time, no rush,” Yan Hu said softly.
Xia Yuhuan quietly agreed.
To avoid disturbing others, Xia Yuhuan didn't turn on the lights. She dressed in the dark, tiptoed, and carefully made her way to the window.
"Ready?" Yan Hu asked in a low voice.
Xia Yuhuan handed the wooden medical kit she was carrying to Yan Hu: "It's all ready. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Yan."
This first-aid kit was specially prepared for her by Zhang Xianya, so that she could use it to carry medicine, needle kits and other medical supplies that she needed when making house calls. This was the first time she had taken it out with her.
Yan Hu, carrying a first-aid kit in one hand, squatted down in front of Xia Yuhuan: "Get on, I'll carry you down."
Xia Yuhuan did not hesitate to lie on his back, trying her best to control her body and not put too much burden on him.
Even while carrying someone on his back, Yan Hu climbed down the rope without feeling any strain and easily made it down the stairs.
Afterwards, Yan Hu put away the rope and secretly led Xia Yuhuan outside.
After walking a distance, Yan Hu led Xia Yuhuan over the wall, and only then did Xia Yuhuan see the car parked by the roadside.
There were no houses nearby, and it was far from the homes in the compound. The car lights and engine noise wouldn't disturb anyone, which shows how secretive Yan Hu's trip was.
Xia Yuhuan secretly admired their meticulousness and silently got into the car.
Soon, Xia Yuhuan was taken to a place by Yan Hu.
It wasn't a military region or a military hospital, but rather a place in the farthest wilderness.
In other words, if the person who came to pick her up was Yan Hu, and someone else had come to pick her up, and had brought her to this desolate wilderness, she would have been afraid even halfway there and would have had to find a way to jump out of the car and escape.
"Uncle Yan, where are you taking me? This isn't the direction to the military region." Xia Yuhuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
At this moment, she was terrified. Suddenly, Yan Hu turned around, grinned at her with a ferocious expression, and said that he was going to kill her.
Or perhaps, this was all just a dream?
Fortunately, Yan Hu is quite normal.
"Go to the secret base. Wang Qi was assassinated in the military region, and the scene was staged as a suicide, which shows that the military region is not safe."
"The leaders were furious and said they would thoroughly investigate the corrupt elements in the military region, so they transferred Wang Qi to a safer place."
"Oh, I see." Xia Yuhuan was finally relieved to receive a response.
Soon, Yan Hu brought Xia Yuhuan to the secret base he had mentioned and led her through layers of security.
Xia Yuhuan finally saw Wang Qi lying in the hospital bed.
Wang Qi had various tubes inserted into his body to maintain his vital signs, while Jiang Zhicheng was waiting for them in the ward.
He had been dozing in a chair nearby, but upon hearing the noise, he quickly stood up and said, "You've come."
As Jiang Zhicheng spoke, his gaze fell on Xia Yuhuan: "Comrade Xia, how are you recovering? Are you able to handle coming over to help treat patients?"
"Thank you for your concern, Dean Jiang. My injuries are recovering quite well, and they no longer affect my mobility," Xia Yuhuan replied with a smile.
In fact, with the help of the spiritual spring water and her self-made pills, her injuries had already healed.
She just didn't want to stand out, and since she didn't have anything going on when she went out, she stayed home quietly to "recover from her injury."
Xia Yuhuan came to the bedside, observed Wang Qi's complexion, and took his pulse.
"He was poisoned by a new type of toxin, which is particularly potent. Although the treatment was timely enough, I couldn't detoxify him and could only keep him barely alive."
“If you can’t do anything about it either, then he can only wait to die,” Jiang Zhicheng said in a deep voice.
Xia Yuhuan didn't respond immediately, but silently took Wang Qi's pulse.
Jiang Zhicheng stood aside watching her, while Yan Hu, though silent, watched Xia Yuhuan's reaction with a tense expression.
After taking his pulse, Xia Yuhuan said in a deep voice, "It is indeed a very troublesome poison, and I cannot help him detoxify immediately."
Yan Hu was immediately disappointed upon hearing this.
After bringing Wang Qi back today, they didn't get any particularly useful information from the interrogation, but the other party was in such a hurry to silence Wang Qi that it means Wang Qi must know some important information.
Jiang Zhicheng, on the other hand, was calmer than him. He understood Xia Yuhuan's meaning and asked with delight, "You mean you can cure this poison?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Hu looked at Xia Yuhuan with delight.
However, Xia Yuhuan gently shook her head, pouring cold water on their joyful hearts.
