She copied the key mechanical parts again at the factory using the photocopier.
Xu Wei was overjoyed to receive a copy for her godmother. She held onto it tightly, not wanting to let go. She had been thinking about writing a book for the past two years, and Bai Yajing's gift to her was like a timely help.
"Darling, with this information, our research can go even further!"
My book will be much richer in content! I need to take it back so everyone can study it together!
She hurriedly grabbed the documents and left, while Bai Yajing smiled and saw her off.
Another copy was sent to my uncle at the Northwest Research Institute.
Life went on peacefully, and Bai Yajing gradually readjusted to life in China.
My good mood didn't last long before a phone call ruined it.
"Ya Jing! Grandpa has fainted and is in your hospital. Come quickly!"
Mr. Xiao's voice choked with emotion on the phone.
Bai Yajing was so startled that she stood up instantly, accidentally knocking over a chair. She was on vacation today and was at Grandpa Gao's house organizing documents.
"Dad! I'm going back to the hospital right away! Wait for me!"
Without thinking, she grabbed her bag and drove back to the hospital.
After getting off the car, she went straight to the operating room, where she disinfected and changed clothes as quickly as possible.
All of Xiao's family members, including his maternal grandparents and children, arrived and waited at the entrance of the operating room.
Old Master Bai sighed and turned to Bai Yajing's office to make an overseas call to Bai Jingxing and Kang Jinyu, who were far away abroad.
"Jingxing, Jinyu, book the earliest tickets back today. Your great-grandfather... is not doing well..."
Upon hearing the news, the brother and sister were so shocked and terrified that they knocked over a cup, which fell to the ground with a dull thud that sent chills down the spines of those on either side.
"Okay! We'll be right back!"
After hanging up the phone, the two rushed out to book plane tickets.
The operating room lights were still on, and a number of people arrived one after another, including high-ranking military officers and people who were on good terms with the Xiao family.
Everyone was on edge at that moment; the impact of Old Master Xiao's collapse was enormous.
The operating room lights went out, and the Xiao family members, exhausted, immediately got up to greet them.
Xiao's mother was sobbing uncontrollably, while Xiao's father and Xiao Yanqing were pale with anxiety.
Eight-year-old Xiang Zhiwei also understood the meaning of parting. Her red eyes looked at her mother expectantly, hoping to hear good news from her.
Only Xiao Che, with red eyes, asked, "Ya Jing, how is Grandpa?"
Bai Yajing heavily removed her mask and shook her head slightly. "Grandpa is awake, but..."
He sustained many hidden injuries from fighting on the battlefield in his early years, and his body can no longer take the strain of the mental and physical labor he has endured in recent years.
Now……"
At this point, she choked up and couldn't continue. The old man was just putting on a brave face, waiting for everyone to arrive!
Because Jingxing and his sister Jinyu haven't returned yet.
Her words shocked everyone present.
The Xiao family members were in tears.
Xiao Yanqing couldn't accept that his dearest great-grandfather was about to leave him. He covered his head, squatted down, and silently shed tears.
Everyone remained silent as they pushed the now-awakened Old Master Xiao back to his ward.
The ward was filled with the smell of disinfectant mixed with a deeper, more somber scent of life slipping away.
