Qiu Man left quickly and returned quickly. He grabbed a jar of honey and rushed into the ward.
General Li hurriedly took the hot water that had been boiled earlier. After a period of settling, the water had cooled down.
He unscrewed the jar, poured a thick layer of honey into the bowl, then added warm water and stirred it well. He scooped a spoonful to taste it, and finding the temperature and sweetness to be just right, he fed it to Li Sikai.
Although Li Sikai had fainted, his swallowing function was still normal. Li Zongmengguan half-held him and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Qiu Man gently wiped the liquid from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.
After feeding him the bowl, the two looked at Li Sikai expectantly. His complexion slowly regained its color, but it quickly turned pale again.
It seems to have an effect, yet it also seems to have no effect.
"What's going on?" Qiu Man asked, her eyes wide.
"Perhaps, not enough?" Chief Li wasn't entirely sure either.
"Shall we make some more?" Qiu Man asked.
Li Zongmengguan looked at the honey, then at Li Sikai, and looked up at Qiu Man to discuss, "How about I just feed him honey directly?"
Otherwise, drinking too much water will be too much for your kidneys.
Qiu Man thought it was worth a try, so he nodded: "Anyway, it won't hurt to drink a little, just pretend you're dead..." He didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.
Li Zongmengguan knew this, but didn't mind. He directly scooped a spoonful of honey and fed it to Li Sikai. Then he stared at his face and saw that his complexion turned red again, then slowly turned white.
“This won’t do,” Qiu Man said.
"I think it's effective, but the amount isn't enough," General Li concluded after careful observation.
"Shall we pour it all into Xiao Kai's mouth?" Qiu Man looked at the honey jar and trembled, thinking that if he drank it, it would be so sweet!
General Li didn't move, but touched Li Sikai's forehead and said, "I'm afraid even if you drink all of this, it won't be enough." Xiao Kai's condition is not something that a little bit of honey can improve.
He sighed and made up his mind: "You stay here and keep watch, I'll go back and make a phone call."
Qiu Man nodded, but was full of doubt. He didn't know what General Li wanted to call, and he didn't dare to ask.
General Manager Li left reluctantly and returned to the office building as quickly as possible. The bigwigs who heard the news rushed over to inquire, but General Manager Li only smiled and said, "It will be alright."
Everyone understood, offered a few words of comfort, and then dispersed. After instructing his secretary to guard the door, General Li made a phone call to Haishi.
"Hello, this is Haishi Base." Jiang Shulian sat in the office, feeling bored. Everyone else had gone to celebrate the New Year, and he was the only one on duty here. It was so torturous.
Luckily, Wen Mengguan had left him some sunflower seeds, which could help him pass the time. But before he could finish the seeds, a phone call came in.
Jiang Shulian immediately perked up, because a phone call at this time meant either a blessing or something urgent. The latter was more likely.
"Hello, I am Li Cheng."
Upon hearing that familiar and authoritative voice, Jiang Shulian swallowed hard in disbelief. His heart pounded, and he nearly collapsed.
"Hello, General Li," he said hastily, realizing what was happening.
"Hmm, is there a court assembly?"
“Wen Mengguan isn’t here; he’s gone home. I’m his secretary, on duty today. Is there anything you need me to tell you? Should I relay your message, or would you like Wen Mengguan to come over and answer the phone?” Jiang Shulian’s voice trembled slightly.
General Li smiled and said, "Just call Shen Yanming for me. I'll call back in an hour. Do you think that'll be enough time?"
"There's still time! There's still time!" Jiang Shulian's smile was somewhat obsequious. He thought to himself that even if there wasn't enough time, he would still have to equip his flying fire wheels and run to call for help.
"Okay, see you in an hour." Chief Li hung up the phone after saying that. Then he stared blankly at the second hand in his office, hoping time would pass quickly.
In Shanghai, Jiang Shulian was still somewhat dazed after hearing the "beep beep beep" sound. She remained in that position for two minutes before realizing what she should do.
He went out and called a guard, who then went to the residence of the Wen Alliance Official to invite the person over. He then personally went to Old Shen's house.
Jiang Shulian's heart was pounding the whole way, thinking to himself that he had really reached the pinnacle of life.
Unexpectedly, his little secretary received a call from the Alliance's Supreme Commander. And Alliance Commander Li really was as kind and down-to-earth as rumored. He just didn't know how Shen Yanming had gotten involved with him.
It's the Lunar New Year, the first day of the Lunar New Year, and General Li actually called him personally!
He remembered that it used to be Boss Qiu making the calls, so why was someone else doing it this time? But these weren't things a lowly secretary like him should worry about. He just had to do what the boss asked.
As for Alliance Officer Wen, Jiang Shulian made his own decision. Although Alliance Chief Li had requested to speak with Shen Yanming, he felt it was still necessary to inform Alliance Officer Wen in advance. Otherwise, if Wen found out later, he might be unhappy or have other ideas.
With this ulterior motive in mind, he sent someone to invite him. He ran all the way and finally arrived at Shen Yanming's building within twenty minutes.
He was covered in sweat, and his head was buzzing. The cold air stung his throat, but he didn't dare to linger. He stopped to catch his breath and then, holding onto the wall, went upstairs.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Jiang Shu knocked several times, but no one answered. He wondered if the family had gone out to play.
As far as he knew, the Shen family members were all quite homebodies. And even if they were going out to play, it shouldn't be at this time. However, since there were two young children in the family, going against the grain wasn't impossible.
Jiang Shulian was a little flustered, so she increased the force of her pounding. The door was pounded loudly.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, who were inside the space, were both stunned when they heard the voice. They had thought that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, in the dead of night, no one would come. Who knew that someone would actually come to their door.
The couple hurriedly left the room, but their thin pajamas were really not suitable for being seen by others.
"Who is it? Please wait a moment!" Shen Yanming shouted loudly, and hurriedly changed his clothes.
The moment the cold air touched his body, goosebumps rose on Shen Yanming's skin. He couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
Bi Qiaoan quickly dodged, shivering in the bedroom. Shen Yanming gestured for her to return to her spatial dimension immediately.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head: "I'll go with you." She thought to herself that coming to her house at this time and knocking on the door so urgently must mean something big had happened.
Shen Yanming sighed: "Alright then."
The couple quickly changed their clothes, while Jiang Shulian outside the door breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good to be at home, otherwise I really wouldn't know where to look for people.
Jiang Shulian leaned against the door, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He opened his mouth wide, breathing heavily, calculating how much time was left until the hour was up.
