After Bai Yajing finished washing the dishes and took a stroll, she came back to find her uncle sitting silently on the chair by the door.
She quickly went over and said, "Uncle, it's so cold, why are you sitting outside?"
Bai Yunshu smiled faintly, "It's not appropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a room; it's not good for Comrade Liu's reputation."
Bai Yajing paused, then thought, "What's wrong with these two? They clearly already have feelings for each other, so why are they acting like this?"
Those who crack down on misconduct only target those who are not serious; they don't care about serious relationships.
"Let's go inside, don't get cold."
Following Bai Yajing inside, Bai Yunshu listened to the two girls chatting without saying a word.
They waited until Liu's mother arrived before driving Bai Yajing back to the family compound.
...
The two got home quite late. But what happened today still needed to be addressed.
"Uncle, I suspect we're being watched."
Bai Yunshu added firewood to the kang (heated brick bed) to make it warm before letting her sit down.
"We presented the prescription to Commander Xiao as soon as we arrived here. Your medical skills are exceptional, and you bear the mark of the Xiao family faction, so it's normal that you've been targeted."
The city of Shanghai was in complete chaos, but thankfully the countryside remained relatively peaceful.
"How about we go back? The Qin family has already been dealt with, and with the evidence and certificates from the reopened military region, they shouldn't be in any trouble."
They came here initially to deal with the Qin family and find a powerful backer.
But the military is not in a good position right now, and the Xiao family is also being targeted. They were in a close call last time, and it's hard to guarantee that the other party won't make a move again.
Bai Yajing had the same thought, but when it came to leaving, she was reluctant to part with Liu Meiling, Dean Gao, and Commander Xiao.
These people had all offered them a helping hand...
If you're going to leave, you need to make all the necessary arrangements.
"Alright, let's make a plan first. It won't be easy to get away once those people have their eyes on you. We need to think this through carefully!"
Bai Yunshu shared the same opinion.
After the two discussed the plan in detail, Uncle Bai went back to his room to sleep.
The next day, Bai Yajing went to work and visited Liu Meiling. Liu Meiling's condition had improved, and she could be discharged from the hospital that day.
They saw the mother and daughter off.
Back in the consultation room, the first patient was Xiao Che.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Che was relieved to see that she looked normal.
"I'm fine, I was just worried that you might have been affected by yesterday, so I came to check on you."
Bai Yajing looked at him with some suspicion. Worried about her? This man was interesting; he always gave her the illusion that he was interested in her, but when she asked, he said no, and his reasons were always convincing…
"Oh, I see. Thank you. I'm fine, I'm alright."
A moment of silence fell between them. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward...
Xiao Che was unusually at a loss; he had indeed been so worried about her last night that he couldn't sleep.
The uncle and nephew are both so smart, they couldn't possibly not have guessed that yesterday's events were caused by the Xiao family.
He was afraid she would be scared away...
He can wait because the girl is underage, but only if she is under his watchful eye.
He was genuinely afraid that she would be scared away by the chaos outside and go somewhere he couldn't see her, where she might be bullied.
