Chapter 85 They had made preparations in advance to cover their tracks.
Xia Yuhuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Why would anyone come looking for her at this hour?
Did they come looking for her as soon as she thought of Yan Hu and the others?
However, the person who came in was not Yan Hu or Jiang Zhicheng, but Zhang Xianya's driver, Lao Qian.
"Uncle Qian, what brings you here?" Xia Yuhuan asked in surprise.
Old Qian smiled and said, "The leader asked me to pick you up. She said that the matter you asked her to help you with has been taken care of, and she asked me to take you there."
Xia Yuhuan was a little confused when she heard this.
What did she ask Zhang Xianya to do?
What did she ask Zhang Xianya to do?
Could it be about buying equipment for basic research?
But shouldn't we buy the medical equipment for home use? Why did she have to come along?
Although Xia Yuhuan had many doubts in her heart, she did not show them at all.
She smiled and nodded, "Then Uncle Qian, please wait for me a moment. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and come right back."
Xia Yuhuan went upstairs to change her clothes and told Chi Yanzhou before leaving.
"Mom asked Uncle Qian to pick me up. I'm going out for a bit, and I'll come back to chat with you tonight."
She had just called Zhang Xianya using the phone in the room to confirm that it was indeed Zhang Xianya who had sent Lao Qian to pick her up, and only then did Xia Yuhuan feel relieved.
However, Zhang Xianya didn't say where she was being taken or what her purpose was, only that she would know when she arrived. Xia Yuhuan could only leave with Lao Qian, filled with doubt.
Old Qian brought Xia Yuhuan to the city's central hospital.
The hospital? What did Mom send her to the hospital for?
Xia Yuhuan was even more confused.
However, trusting Zhang Xianya, Xia Yuhuan didn't ask any questions and went upstairs with Lao Qian.
Old Qian led Xia Yuhuan to the top floor.
To Xia Yuhuan's surprise, Jiang Zhicheng was talking to someone in the hallway.
"Teacher? What are you doing here?" Xia Yuhuan asked in surprise.
Jiang Zhicheng heard Xia Yuhuan's voice, turned to look at her, and waved to her.
"Xiao Huan, come here, I'd like to introduce you to someone."
Xia Yuhuan obediently stepped forward.
“This is my senior brother Sun Xiangqian, who is also your senior uncle. Greet him,” Jiang Zhicheng said.
Xia Yuhuan obediently greeted, "Greetings, Senior Uncle."
Sun Xiangqian was a gentle-looking person. He spoke softly, "Xia, I just found out that Zhicheng took you as his apprentice. I didn't prepare a gift for you in advance, please forgive me."
"I'll give you the gift later, my senior uncle."
Xia Yuhuan quickly said, "You don't need to bother preparing any gifts, it's too much of a waste."
Sun Xiangqian smiled and said, "Your master said he would take you to do experiments, so you can use the laboratory on this floor first. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
He looked at Jiang Zhicheng and said, "Zhicheng, if you need anything else, just let me know."
"Okay, senior brother, I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you," Jiang Zhicheng said with a smile.
Sun Xiangqian left, and Lao Qian said, "Then Yu Huan, I'll come pick you up later."
With the two leaving, only Xia Yuhuan and Jiang Zhicheng remained on the top floor.
Jiang Zhicheng walked to the stairwell, pulled the iron gate shut, and locked it.
Xia Yuhuan asked curiously, "Master, why are you locking the door?"
"Of course it's for experiments," Jiang Zhicheng replied.
He led her to a laboratory.
Xia Yuhuan looked at the experimental equipment in the laboratory and felt that it looked somewhat familiar.
These things look so much like what she used last night?
Jiang Zhicheng said, "After staying up all night yesterday, your father and I discussed it and felt that we couldn't keep going like this. It's not good for our health and it's easy to arouse suspicion."
“It just so happens that you asked your mom to buy some simple experimental equipment for your studies, and when your dad found out, he discussed this idea with me.”
“I borrowed a place from your senior uncle to use as a laboratory. Your father secretly had Yan Hu transport the experimental equipment here. From now on, my master and I will conduct experiments here. This way, we can stay out of the way and not delay things.”
Xia Yuhuan suddenly realized what was going on.
So that's how it is. She wondered why Jiang Zhicheng happened to be there when Lao Qian picked her up from the hospital. It turns out that all of this was arranged by her father long ago.
It seems that her mother already knows about this.
"Alright, stop overthinking it and get to work. Old Qian should be here to pick you up around the time you finish get off work," Jiang Zhicheng said.
Xia Yuhuan agreed and quickly started the experiment with Jiang Zhicheng.
The two of them were busy all afternoon, and only stopped when Lao Qian came to pick up Xia Yuhuan.
Xia Yuhuan turned her neck to relieve the pressure, and said to Jiang Zhicheng, "Then, teacher, I'll head back now. See you tomorrow."
Jiang Zhicheng went directly to the military hospital under the guise of a business trip, so he will be staying at the laboratory during this period. Accommodation has been prepared for him nearby, and it is convenient for him to wash up and so on.
However, his activities were limited to this one floor, which was quite tedious.
"Okay, go back and get some rest. You must still be recovering from staying up all night yesterday," Jiang Zhicheng said with a smile.
Xia Yuhuan blinked: "It's okay, just a little bit."
"For those of us who study Western medicine, it's normal to have irregular hours if we're doing research. You need to exercise regularly, so you don't end up with a sharp mind but a weak body," Jiang Zhicheng advised.
Xia Yuhuan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, Xia Yuhuan returned home with Lao Qian's help.
Zhang Xianya had already arrived home. Upon seeing Xia Yuhuan, she quickly took her hand and looked her over, her eyes filled with heartache.
"I didn't sleep well last night, and my complexion looks terrible. I really need to get a good night's sleep tonight."
"Okay, Mom. Thank you for finding me a teacher and teaching me. I learned so much today!" Xia Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Xianya paused for a moment, but still continued, "If you want to study, Mom will naturally support you wholeheartedly. There's nothing wrong with learning more, but you shouldn't just focus on studying; you should also take care of your health."
"If you ask me, there's no need to rush your studies. You've only been injured and haven't recovered for long. Can your body handle going to study with a teacher right now?"
Although Zhang Xianya didn't know the specifics of why Chi Shaokang asked Lao Qian to pick up and drop off Xia Yuhuan, she understood that it couldn't be a trivial matter for Chi Shaokang to go out so frequently while Xia Yuhuan was still recovering from her injury.
Moreover, both of them seemed to be trying to conceal their identities.
She knew it was a big deal, but what she cared about more was Xia Yuhuan's health.
Xia Yu nodded with a smile: "I know, Mom. I will take good care of myself."
Although Zhang Xianya was still worried after hearing this, she understood that Xia Yuhuan and Chi Shaokang had formed a united front on this matter.
So she didn't say much, but she put a few more pieces of meat on Xia Yuhuan's plate during the meal, and after Xia Yuhuan finished eating and digested, she urged Xia Yuhuan to wash up and rest.
It was as if they wanted her to take all the time to rest and recover properly.
Xia Yuhuan noticed Zhang Xianya's unspoken but constant concern for her in the smallest details, which warmed her heart.
She obediently went back to her room to wash up and rest. Before going to sleep, she told Chi Yanzhou about the experiment she had done at the city's central hospital that afternoon.
Although Chi Yanzhou was happy that she had found a good teacher, he was also worried that her health might not be able to handle it, so he was quite concerned.
But after spending some time with her, he also realized that Xia Yuhuan was a very decisive person. Once she made a decision, it must have been the result of careful consideration.
He naturally supports whatever she wants to do.
He was also worried about her health, fearing that her injuries hadn't healed yet and that her hard work and dedication might harm her body.
Xia Yuhuan was unaware that Chi Yanzhou was unconscious and was still worried about her, so she slept soundly until the next day.
When Xia Yuhuan woke up the next day, she was still half asleep and snuggled against Chi Yanzhou, who was holding her.
Chi Yanzhou had also woken up. He felt her gentle touch and his whole body stiffened. His body suddenly became burning hot, and his head was buzzing.
