Chapter 9: Debunking Rumors
The island is not big to begin with, and the local villagers have lived here for generations. They are familiar with everyone in the surrounding area, and rumors spread vividly in a short time. Many villagers even ran to the gate of the army to inquire.
If Su Jinhui wasn't involved, she would probably just follow suit and watch the show.
Adhering to the principle of hiding from others if she can't afford to offend, she simply stayed at home studying medical books and cooking, waiting for the system to be upgraded again.
The strange thing is that the progress bar has not moved since the last upgrade was interrupted.
This was also the first time Su Jinhui saw a system upgrade. For a moment, she didn't know where to start and could only wait for the system to suddenly come to its senses one day.
Could it be that this thing also requires the right time, place and people?
She has no way to explore this point for the time being and can only wait for the opportunity.
She doesn't care about the rumors, so naturally there are people who care about them for her.
Some villagers even went to Yan Li'an and said earnestly, "Officer, there are many good girls on the island. Don't give in to a woman like that."
"She never forced me. I married her willingly." Yan Li'an answered seriously.
He wanted to help Su Jinhui get rid of the rumors, but was accused of being deeply poisoned and afraid to resist.
Yan Li'an went home, unable to hide his irritation. The person in question was buried in a book. The light of sunset fell on her fair face, and her hair was casually scattered on the book. His heart seemed to be struck by something, and his negative emotions dissipated a lot.
He wanted to mention the rumors outside, but he couldn't bear to upset her, so he stopped himself and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
"I'm back! I'll go heat up the food." Su Jinhui stretched casually, then got up and went to work at the stove.
After a while, the food was served.
"Are you worried about something?" Su Jinhui noticed something was wrong with the other party at a glance.
Yan Li'an buried his head in his porridge and said, "Don't pay attention to the rumors outside."
"Of course I don't care. The human heart is like a mirror. You will see others as you are. Why should I confine myself to others? What's more, let me ask you, do you believe what they say?" Su Jinhui retorted calmly, looking at him with bright eyes.
He shook his head without hesitation. No one knew the truth better than him.
"That's great. As long as you believe in me, it won't have any impact on me. As for others, a journey of a thousand miles reveals a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character." Su Jinhui had already died once, so she always had a clearer view of things.
Of course, the most important reason is that she needs to be ready for system upgrades at any time and cannot be interrupted again!
The thought flashed through my mind, and a familiar voice appeared in my ears, "The system will begin to automatically update in five minutes. Please do not shut down or interrupt the process."
Su Jinhui's eyes widened suddenly, and she stood up excitedly. "I'm sleepy. I'm going to rest first. I'll leave the dishes to you."
After saying that, he ran to the bed and lay down without giving the other person a chance to react.
Yan Li'an looked at her abnormal behavior, shook his head and sighed. She was obviously feeling aggrieved but she kept silent about it. He must give her justice!
Originally, in order to respect Su Jinhui's ideas, there was no plan to mention Su Jinhui in the public commendation information to the people, but now that rumors are spreading, Yan Li'an can only report the situation to his superiors.
The superiors attached great importance to this matter and would never let anyone be wronged, so they immediately made an exception and modified the official document and released it ahead of schedule.
Although Su Jinhui's name is not listed above, the article specifically notes that Yan Li'an's military family played a key role in this operation.
She also said frankly that she was a reliable clue provider, and was not afraid of danger and acted heroically. When these nouns are added together, even if others want to say more, they can't find a reason.
Rumors are self-defeating.
Su Jinhui had no idea what was happening outside. She slept for twelve hours before the system upgrade was completed.
"This doesn't look any different," she muttered.
The next second, she entered the space again, moving freely between reality and space.
She tentatively picked up the pillow beside the bed, and the next second she passed into the space. She then picked up the book in the space and passed out easily, even more smoothly than before.
When she entered the space again, she found that the difference this time was that she entered the hospital where she used to work.
The familiar smell of disinfectant, the familiar desk, even the pen without the cap was lying on the table. Could it be that she put it back on?
But she had already died in the medical dispute, and there was no one around. It was obvious that she was still in the space.
I don’t know if the operating room followed.
The image just flashed through her mind, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in the operating room. The tools at hand were also her exclusive set. Each one was carefully selected by her, and most of them were custom-made from abroad. They were all her little darlings.
Su Jinhui picked up the scalpel, and a familiar feeling filled every nerve.
But she still couldn't help smacking her lips. Compared to the hospital, what she missed most was the laboratory, where she devoted herself to researching drugs.
Many awards were won in that laboratory.
The laboratory suddenly appeared before her eyes, with all the necessary materials and equipment. Only then did she truly understand that the key valve to the system upgrade was her imagination.
Any scene that she is familiar with and can imagine can be restored in space on a one-to-one basis, which is a great help to her.
The door in reality was knocked, and Su Jinhui had to come out of the space reluctantly.
When the door opened, a young soldier said bluntly, "Madam, the deputy commander wants you to come over."
"Okay." Su Jinhui locked the door neatly and followed the little soldier.
I saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of the army, including civilians and soldiers. Yan Li'an stretched out her hand to greet her, and when she got closer, she found a familiar face at the scene, Liu Ruolan.
"Since you said that criticism and education are useful to you, then you should apologize to the victim, Comrade Su Jinhui." Yan Li'an was impartial and showed no mercy.
Liu Ruolan bit her lower lip in grievance, glared at her angrily, and remained silent for a long time.
Yan Li'an's voice was icy. "If you don't want to, don't force yourself. I will report the whole story to your village captain."
Whether they were educated youth sent to the countryside or local villagers, all work points earned and discipline issues were under the unified management of the brigade.
"Su Jinhui, I'm sorry!" Liu Ruolan said quickly as if the words were too hot.
Yan Li'an said sternly, "No! Your attitude is not sincere!"
"Brother Li An! That's enough. Are you really going to side with her? So many people are watching me make a fool of myself. How can I live my life in the future?" Liu Ruolan couldn't believe it and wished she could bury her head in the ground.
"Apologize again!" Yan Li'an didn't want to look at her any more.
Liu Ruolan was filled with resentment. She gritted her teeth and raised her voice, each word emitting a chilling tone. "Comrade Su Jinhui, I'm sorry! I was being mean!"
