Zhu Qiang watched Huo Jingchen enter the scrap yard from behind and prayed silently, hoping that the old man would be smarter and agree to go back with them, so that they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!
As soon as Huo Jingchen entered the scrap yard, he saw Old Man Wang bending over and squatting on the ground packing things.
Just as he was about to step forward and start a conversation, Old Man Wang looked up and asked him.
"Who are you? What are you doing standing here?"
It turned out that Old Man Wang had seen Huo Jingchen since he entered the scrap yard.
He originally thought that this person came here to look for something, but in the end, he saw this person standing in front of him without moving.
He then asked.
Seeing that Old Man Wang asked him a question, Huo Jingchen didn't hesitate and directly stated his purpose. "Oh, old man, I came to see you about something. Do you think we can come in to discuss it?"
When Old Man Wang heard this, he understood. Recently, he always felt that someone was following him. Now it seems that it must be the person in front of him.
Just as Huo Jingchen finished speaking, he saw the old man opposite looking at him indifferently. It seemed that he had known that someone would come to find him!
Looking at the old man's reaction, Huo Jingchen frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard the old man speak.
"Well, come inside!"
As he spoke, he had already put down the work in his hands and led Huo Jingchen into the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he first asked Huo Jingchen if he wanted to drink water. After being rejected, he looked at Huo Jingchen quietly, as if waiting for the verdict of death!
Seeing how calm the old man was, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but sigh in amazement. He had never seen such a calm person!
Afterwards, under the old man's gaze, Huo Jingchen told him the purpose of his visit.
When Old Man Wang first heard that someone wanted to see him for treatment, he was shocked. After all, no one had ever come to him for treatment in all these years.
Generally, people who can find him are either planning to steal his medical books, or want to use his name to do something unscrupulous!
However, although Old Man Wang was very confused in his heart, he did not show it on his face. In order to make sure that he had heard it wrong, he asked again.
"Are you serious? You only came to me to treat me. You don't want me to do anything else?"
When Huo Jingchen nodded, he also took out his ID.
"This is my ID. You can take a look at it and tell whether what I say is true or false!"
Old man Wang looked at the ID, then looked at Huo Jingchen, still a little bit unbelieving.
After all, why would someone from the army come looking for him out of the blue? He probably hadn't done anything wrong, had he?
While thinking this in his heart, he still looked at Huo Jingchen with a puzzled expression and spoke uncertainly.
"Everything you said is true. You came to me just to see a doctor. You don't need to do anything else!"
Huo Jingchen nodded again, "Don't worry, old man, if you don't trust us, who else can you trust?"
Old man Wang knew this was the truth, but looking at Huo Jingchen with a righteous face, he was still a little nervous!
In the end, he just talked to himself.
"Am I dreaming? I can't believe such a good thing happened to me?"
Huo Jingchen looked at the old man and didn't understand why he had such doubts. Did he look so untrustworthy?
However, he did not dwell on this matter too much. When he saw that the old man understood the purpose of his visit, he directly asked for the old man's opinion.
The result is predictable. Old Man Wang naturally agreed to go with them, but when he said he was about to leave.
Old Man Wang hesitated for a moment and just said that he had a friend to say goodbye to.
Otherwise, if I just leave like this, I will cause people to worry for no reason and may even cause them trouble for no reason.
After hearing what he said, Huo Jingchen agreed immediately. After all, they had already waited until this moment, so it didn't matter if they waited a little longer.
So, when Li Mingxi came to the scrap station again, he heard the old man say that he would probably be away for a while.
Hearing the old man say this, Li Mingxi was confused. As far as she knew, the old man should have no other relatives anywhere else except his hometown. So since he was not looking for relatives, why did he have to leave here?
Li Mingxi really didn't know what the old man was thinking, so she asked directly.
"What's going on? Old man, why are you leaving when everything is fine? Where are you going? What are you going to do?"
Faced with Li Mingxi's series of questions, the old man remained silent and did not say anything.
Subconsciously, he didn't want Li Mingxi to get involved in such matters.
Although Huo Jingchen repeatedly emphasized that he went there just to see a doctor and save lives, who knows if they will ask him to do something else?
Look, when Li Mingxi asked him, Old Man Wang's eyes dodged slightly, and then returned to normal.
Then, he said to Li Mingxi with a smile on his face, "It's okay, what can happen to me? A friend of mine has some health problems, and his family came directly to me and said they want me to go and see him!"
Having said that, he said nonchalantly, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this period, so let's just go!"
I don’t know why, but when I heard Old Man Wang say this and saw the indifferent expression on his face, Li Mingxi immediately thought of Huo Jingchen and Zhu Qiang.
She remembered that some time ago, Zhu Qiang was still clamoring to find an old doctor here. The two events happened in such a short time that it was hard for Li Mingxi not to associate them together.
So she asked directly.
"Old man, tell me the truth. Who are the people who are looking for you? Do I know them? And, did they force you?"
Hearing Li Mingxi's question, Old Man Wang waved his hands with a smile and said calmly, "You don't know him, and you're really overthinking it. Tell me, who would force an old man like me to do something for no reason? Am I right?"
Li Mingxi looked at the old man and still felt something was wrong, so she said directly, "No, old man, I always feel something is wrong. You are lying, aren't you?"
Old man Wang remained silent.
Looking at Old Man Wang, Li Mingxi simply stopped hiding it and spoke directly.
"Don't lie to me. Did two young men come to see you? They asked you to treat a patient? Is that right?"
Looking at Li Mingxi's worried eyes, Old Man Wang felt relieved, but at the same time a little sad, thinking that he had lived to such an old age but had never received true family love. It was through Li Mingxi that he felt the warmth of his family.
