Chapter 21 Finally Found Out
Xiao Nanxing's heart tightened, and he gently approached again, "Uncle Wu, don't get excited. Talk to Auntie and they'll be here soon. Lung cancer can be cured. I'm a doctor, I'll help you. Trust me."
She walked aside and held the phone out to him, "Look how sad Xiaobao is crying, comfort him."
A fire siren sounded downstairs and two drones flew up. Xiao Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was right to call Pei Zhengping. He arranged for the rescue force to arrive very quickly.
Xiao Laowu held the phone and looked at her warily, "You're lying. The doctor said my disease is in the late stage and can't be cured. No matter how much money I spend, I can only live for two months. We have no money left. I might as well jump from here--"
"Xiao Laowu! Don't jump!" Auntie screamed on the other end of the phone, running breathlessly. "Please, don't jump. We'll find a way to cure it. Nanxing's medical skills are very good. If she says she can cure it, she will definitely cure it. You have to believe her. Xiaobao, Xiaobao, hurry up and call daddy. He doesn't want us anymore."
"Wow, Dad, Dad, please don't abandon us..."
Xiao Nanxing's eyes were sore, and he tried to reach out, "Uncle Lao Wu, please trust me and come down first. Look at how bright the sun is. If you don't have money, I can lend you some. We can definitely cure it. Can you really bear to see Xiaobao without a father?"
She paused and was surprised to find a familiar figure approaching secretly from the opposite side. He gestured to her. Xiao Nanxing blinked to show that she understood and attracted Xiao Laowu's attention. At this time, the fire police also ran up and saw the man. They and Xiao Nanxing worked together to divert Xiao Laowu's attention.
Xiao Laowu shrank back defensively, holding the phone and crying, "Wife, Xiaobao, Daddy is sorry for you, sorry for you——"
Auntie Lao Wu ran out of breath and had already reached the downstairs. Suddenly, someone took the child and said, "Hurry up."
They rushed upstairs together.
Xiao Nanxing stopped moving and said, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. Auntie and Xiaobao are coming soon. Can you wait for them? I swear, your illness can be cured."
Xiao Laowu turned around and glared at her, "You lied to me, you're not a miracle doctor, nor are you your grandfather, how can you cure cancer?"
In the past, Dr. Xiao could indeed cure cancer, but since his death, there is no such good doctor in Yuan City.
Xiao Nanxing pretended to be proud and said, "I can cure it. I am Grandpa's favorite apprentice. Of course I can do it. Please believe me. If I can't cure it, I won't charge you any money."
Grandma also shouted, "Old Five, listen to Nanxing. She is your uncle Xian Fang's apprentice. Her medical skills are no worse than your uncle's. Come down!"
Xiao Laowu's expression relaxed slightly, "Really?"
Xiao Nanxing nodded sincerely, "How can I survive here if I lie to you? Everyone here can testify for me."
Finally, Aunt Laowu and Xiaobao arrived. Unexpectedly, the person who brought Xiaobao up was Pei Zhengping. He put the child down and stared at Xiao Nanxing closely.
Xiao Nanxing didn't dare to be distracted, "Uncle Wu, look, are you willing to give up Xiaobao?"
Aunt Laowu held the child and cried loudly. Her legs were weak as she sat on the ground and couldn't get up. "Laowu, Laowu, please come down. Don't scare us. Ah, please come down. I won't quarrel with you again."
"Wife, wife, I don't want to drag you down, I'm sorry for you--" He suddenly stood up and the people watching downstairs screamed.
Xiao Nanxing was so scared that he rushed over to pull him, but the man behind him reacted faster and grabbed his hand tightly. Half of his body was dragged out, and there was a cry of surprise from below.
The policemen rushed over and caught the man in a hurry.
Xiao Nanxing felt like his hand was about to break, so everyone worked together to pull the person up and hold down the struggling person.
Xiao Nanxing stepped back, her legs so weak that she almost fell to the ground. Someone held her shoulders.
Xiao Nanxing turned around and asked, "Pei, Secretary Pei?"
Pei Zhengping's usually neat hair fluttered forward a few strands, and when he looked down at her, he looked several years younger. He locked his eyes with her, "Your hand is bleeding."
Xiao Nanxing calmed his heart, which had been pounding from what had just happened, and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing, just a superficial wound."
Pei Zhengping looked disapproving. Seeing that the person had been rescued, he firmly put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's go first. The wound must be treated immediately."
Xiao Nanxing looked at his scratched arm. Well, it looked bloody and scary, but fortunately, it was only a scratch on the skin.
At this moment, the man who had been cooperating with her earlier came over quickly, his tone anxious, "Xiao Nanxing, how are you? How's your hand?"
Xiao Nanxing smiled, "Lin Yang, when did you come back?"
Lin Yang grabbed her hand and said, "Go check on the wound first."
Xiao Nanxing's face changed, and he stretched out his uninjured hand and slapped him hard, "Okay, you almost fell down just now, do you know? You want to die, right?"
Lin Yang smiled with his white teeth, looking sunny and handsome. "Isn't it okay? This is my duty as a soldier. Anyway, I have thick skin and flesh. Hehe, do you care about me?"
Xiao Nanxing rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
Pei Zhengping nodded at him and took the man away forcefully, "Go and treat the wound first."
Lin Yang was startled, then he ran after him, squinting his eyes at Pei Zhengping and asked Xiao Nanxing, "Who is this?"
Xiao Nanxing realized later that someone was hugging her. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Pei Zhengping pinched her shoulders and said, "Be obedient. Be careful of infection."
Xiao Nanxing must have been hallucinating. Why did his tone sound so gentle and coaxing?
Her cheeks inexplicably flushed, and she introduced Lin Yang, "Uh, this, this is Pei Zhengping."
She didn't dare introduce him as the district party secretary. This was the first time she called his name in front of him, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Pei Zhengping raised the corners of his mouth. For the first time, he felt that his name sounded nice, especially when it came from her mouth.
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, keenly aware of something, and suddenly felt an inexplicable resistance to Pei Zhengping. "Where is Mr. Pei so successful?"
Xiao Nanxing quickly replied, "Why are you asking so many questions? You look like you just got back, so why don't you go back and accompany your uncle and aunt? They must have seen what happened just now. Just wait for them to beat you up."
Lin Yang curled his lips, "Xiao Nanxing, you are so mean, can't I take you to the hospital?"
Xiao Nanxing rolled her eyes at him, "Thank you, but it's not necessary. Also, call me sister."
Lin Yang was angry, "I am a head taller than you now, you have to call me brother."
"roll!"
The three of them went downstairs. Xiao Nanxing felt the arm on her shoulder was as heavy as a thousand pounds, especially when she saw Secretary Li and others waiting downstairs, a group of people in white shirts. The look in their eyes made her want to turn around and go upstairs and continue staying there.
"Can you let go now?" Xiao Nanxing gritted his teeth and whispered to someone, "Shouldn't he be low-key? Is this okay?"
She wanted to go crazy now, and she had to go back and calm down. She was not a fool. Pei Zhengping had already shown it so obviously that even the dullest person would notice that something was wrong.
Pei Zhengping let her go, went to talk to Secretary Li and others, and sent them away. He turned around and found that Xiao Nanxing was about to slip away.
