My elder's health isn't very good right now, and I'd like to ask her to go back and help take care of them. Could you tell me which office she's in?
The young nurse found him to be handsome, well-mannered, and had received a bag of candy as a gift, so she took a liking to him.
She looked him over carefully a few more times and nodded to herself. This man did indeed have some resemblance to Doctor Bai in his eyes and brows. With that, she believed what he said.
"You've come at a bad time. She's not at the hospital right now; she's on a business trip. If you can wait, come back in about a week."
The flower-visiting group should be returning in about a week, and Dr. Bai will be back then.
As for Bai Yajing's exact location, she knew she couldn't say.
Bai Zhijun's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this; of course he knew that Bai Yajing was not in the hospital!
Immediately, a look of anxiety appeared on his face. "Oh no! What should we do? My grandfather is terminally ill!"
If he weren't so unable to move around, I would have brought him here today! What should I do?
By the way, do you know where she lives? I'd like to visit her. Her grandmother is a very skilled doctor; I'll see if I can ask her for a checkup!
He deliberately said that his grandfather was terminally ill, since he didn't have a grandfather anyway! He felt no guilt saying it that way!
When he was a child, his father had mentioned Bai Yajing's maternal grandparents. He knew that her maternal grandmother was a barefoot doctor, so whether she was in Kyoto or not, he could use that as an excuse.
It's not that I absolutely need to ask Bai Yajing's grandmother for help; it's just an excuse to find out her address!
The nurse knew what he was thinking and understood. His grandfather was dying, and he genuinely wanted to find a skilled doctor to see if there was any hope left.
Since he knew that Dr. Bai's maternal grandmother was also a doctor, this further confirmed that he was indeed Dr. Bai's relative.
She lowered her guard a little more.
After thinking for a moment, he sighed inwardly, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
She wasn't heartless, and eventually told him.
"Dr. Bai lives in the Ministry of State Security's family compound. Go there and find the soldiers guarding the gate. Tell them your identity and purpose, and they will report it to the authorities."
She wasn't entirely unprepared. If this person was innocent, he could pass the Ministry of State Security's review; if he was guilty, he wouldn't even be allowed into the Ministry of State Security's residential compound!
Bai Zhijun was dumbfounded! The Ministry of State Security? A newly established department?
Isn't Bai Yajing a doctor at a military hospital? How come she's living in the Ministry of State Security's family compound?
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to ask too many questions, for fear of arousing suspicion. After all, if they were really relatives, how could they not know about each other's situation?
He forced a smile and said, "Thank you, comrade! I'll go find her now."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
However, he didn't go to the Ministry of State Security immediately. His current situation was awkward. He could fool ordinary people, but going to the Ministry of State Security?
Ha! The Ministry of State Security—you can tell what it does just from the name. If he were to go back to the past, they could investigate his ancestors for eight generations!
It would be strange if they didn't get caught!
He rubbed his throbbing forehead, caught in a dilemma.
But why does Bai Yajing live there? The family compound, the family compound…
And then I thought about her age now...
He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's it! Her husband must be someone from the Ministry of State Security!"
That makes sense!
And judging from the attitude of that nurse just now, her grandparents also live there.
So, what about Grandpa and Uncle? Do they live there?
It seems he still needs to go to the State Security Department's family compound to inquire about things.
