Chapter 252 Feeling Resentful: Feeling Like I Missed Out on a Fortune
While Xia Yuhuan was taking Wang Aiping's pulse, Zhuang Weiming and Chi Yanzhou, who were standing nearby, remained silent.
Chi Yanzhou watched Xia Yuhuan intently taking someone's pulse, his silence tinged with a hint of fascination.
Every time Chi Yanzhou sees Xia Yuhuan shining in her own field, he can't help but love her a little more.
Just as the saying goes that men who work hard are handsome, women who work hard are also beautiful.
It is a beauty that can utterly captivate the heart.
After Xia Yuhuan finished taking Wang Aiping's pulse, a smile appeared on her face.
"His body has recovered very well and he has met the criteria for surgery."
"Grandma Wang, after I report back to the military hospital tomorrow, I will arrange for your hospitalization and set a date for your surgery as soon as possible."
"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, Xiao Huan." Wang Aiping said with a smile.
Xia Yuhuan said, "Grandma Wang, come on, let's go to the room. I'll give you acupuncture first."
She pushed Wang Aiping into the room, while Zhuang Weiming and Chi Yanzhou wisely did not follow.
While Xia Yuhuan was giving Wang Aiping acupuncture inside the room, Zhuang Weiming and Chi Yanzhou were chatting outside.
"Looking at your leg, has it fully recovered?" Zhuang Weiming asked.
Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Uncle Wei. I have fully recovered."
"Congratulations. You were seriously injured and unconscious before, and all the doctors were helpless. I was saddened that the heavens were jealous of your talent."
"Looking back now, it seems that God has been kind to you. Fate is truly amazing, allowing you to meet such a remarkable person as Dr. Xia," Zhuang Weiming said with a smile.
A smile appeared in Chi Yanzhou's eyes when Xia Yuhuan was mentioned.
He nodded gently: "Yes, meeting Ayu is the greatest blessing of my life."
"Xia's performance in the disaster area was outstanding. After the commendation, she should be promoted and given a raise."
Chi Yanzhou said, "That is the honor she deserves."
Zhuang Weiming couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at his expressionless, stern face.
"You're still so calm and composed. You married such a formidable wife, aren't you even a little excited?"
Chi Yanzhou couldn't suppress his smile.
“Of course I’m excited, and I’m proud of her.”
Zhuang Weiming nodded in satisfaction: "That's more like it."
He then said, "Shouldn't you be returning to the team by now?"
"Yes, I have some personal matters to attend to these next couple of days. I'll return to the team as soon as I'm done," Chi Yanzhou said.
The two were chatting when Xia Yuhuan came out of the house.
"Is it done?" Zhuang Weiming asked.
Xia Yuhuan nodded gently: "Yes, we can remove the needles in a bit."
"Grandma Wang's health has recovered well and she has met the criteria for surgery. I just wanted to ask you again, are you sure you want Grandma Wang to have the surgery?"
"If you're sure, go back to the hospital tomorrow, and I'll arrange for her to be admitted for treatment."
"Yes, I believe you, Dr. Xia," Zhuang Weiming said earnestly.
Xia Yuhuan nodded gently upon hearing this: "Okay, then bring Grandma Wang to the hospital to see me at 10:30 tomorrow morning, and I will handle her admission procedures."
“Okay,” Zhuang Weiming replied immediately.
After a while, Xia Yuhuan removed the needle from Wang Aiping, then said goodbye to her and Zhuang Weiming and left.
"Mom, you're going to be hospitalized tomorrow for surgery. Are you nervous?" Zhuang Weiming asked, sitting by the bed.
“I’m not nervous, you’re the one who’s nervous, aren’t you?” Wang Aiping glanced at him and said.
Zhuang Weiming: "..."
He was indeed quite nervous.
Wang Aiping looked at him with disdain: "You're already in your fifties and sixties, and you hold a high position, how come you're still so useless?"
"It's just surgery, why are you so nervous about the knife cutting my body?"
Zhuang Weiming was speechless: This is hardly just a simple surgery!
This is something that could be fatal if you're not careful!
Zhuang Weiming was happy about Wang Aiping's optimism, but this did not alleviate his worries in the slightest.
"Alright, don't think about it too much."
"Since we've chosen to trust Xiao Huan, let's leave everything to her."
“She’s the real expert in this area. You can’t figure it out no matter how much you think about it, so you might as well not think about it at all,” Wang Aiping said.
Zhuang Weiming nodded gently upon hearing this: "Okay, Mom, I'll go and make arrangements to free up time for tomorrow."
"No need for that trouble. You go about your business, I can go by myself. Xiao Huan is at the hospital, we don't need you." Wang Aiping waved her hand.
As a mother, she always didn't want her child to worry about her too much.
Even though her children are now quite old and capable of standing on their own.
But to her, he was still just a child.
"Mom," Zhuang Weiming said helplessly, "how can I let you go to the hospital alone?"
"I don't have anything to do lately, so I can take leave."
"If I really let you go alone, my younger siblings will say I'm unfilial."
Wang Aiping: "..."
"Okay, whatever you say, is that settled?"
She listened with a hint of annoyance, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her joy.
After all, it's a major event like hospitalization and surgery, and no matter how strong she is, she still hopes that her family can be by her side.
On the other side, Xia Yuhuan and Chi Yanzhou walked around the courtyard before returning home.
After washing up, as the two lay in bed, Chi Yanzhou said, "Ayu, there's something I haven't told you yet that I was in the disaster area."
"What news?" Xia Yuhuan asked.
She lay on Chi Yanzhou's lap, letting him dry her wet hair, and asked lazily.
Chi Yanzhou said in a low voice, "He Qijun, whom we captured last time, committed suicide on the third day after his capture."
Xia Yuhuan was taken aback upon hearing this.
She looked up at him: "Was it really suicide? Or did the mastermind behind it all kill her to protect himself from being exposed?"
After asking the question, Xia Yuhuan scoffed again.
"I don't need to ask this useless nonsense."
"Whether it was a real suicide or a cover-up to protect a secret, the fact remains that the person died."
"Mm," Chi Yanzhou responded softly.
Xia Yuhuan asked him, "So, Master Shi has just disappeared perfectly like that? The clues have run dry, and we can't find him anymore?"
When Xia Yuhuan asked these questions, she was genuinely unwilling to accept it.
After all, the mastermind behind it all was the culprit who tortured and killed the original owner in the previous life.
The fact that she could hide so perfectly behind the scenes and not be able to find out made her feel guilty towards the original owner of the body.
"Not exactly," Chi Yanzhou said. "I've discovered some clues."
"I originally planned to follow the clues and find the person, but then the earthquake happened, and I went to the disaster area to find you, so I didn't continue the investigation here."
Xia Yuhuan: "..."
She felt as if she had missed out on a fortune, and her heart was filled with regret.
"Look at you, we've already made progress here, and instead of continuing, you come to me. Are you stupid?!"
Xia Yuhuan was furious.
After all, her goal was to expose Master Shi, the mastermind behind everything.
To avenge the original owner who died tragically, and also to avenge those innocent people who died at the hands of Master Shi.
Chi Yanzhou: "..."
