Jiang Zhiyuan didn't mind at all; he just felt incredibly sorry for her and carefully brought the kiss to his lips.
She gently brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across Xu Ningyan's cheek behind her ear: "Don't be afraid, Yanyan, I'm here! I'm taking you back to Beijing for treatment. You'll be alright! Trust me, okay? Mom has already contacted Old Master Yu. She asked me to tell you that she's waiting for you in Beijing! When you wake up, she wants you to go shopping with her and have a nice meal together! She's waiting for you to be her good daughter-in-law!"
"So, Yan Yan, you'll be alright, right?"
I looked down and a drop of water fell onto the sheet, wetting a small patch.
Xu Ningyan, who was in a coma, naturally couldn't give Jiang Zhiyuan any response.
Jiang Zhiyuan did not dwell in his pain for long and quickly pulled himself together.
He blinked to dry his eyes, which were still red, but he had barely slept on the way here, so no one could tell.
He stood up, bent down and gently touched Xu Ningyan's forehead, then straightened up: "Yanyan, you rest first, I'll make the arrangements! I'll take you back to the capital as soon as possible!"
After speaking, he turned around and was once again that cold, composed, and powerful man.
Outside, things were bustling again. Everyone had dropped what they were doing and rushed over after hearing that Jiang Zhiyuan had returned and become the deputy director of Unit X.
When Jiang Zhiyuan came out, everyone crowded together, wanting to go up and say hello.
Jiang Zhiyuan's gaze swept over them, and the previously agitated crowd immediately calmed down.
"Let's talk in the conference room! Is there a conference room?" Gu Zhiyuan looked at Dean Qi.
Dean Qi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this way—" and then led the way.
Everyone held their breath and followed behind Jiang Zhiyuan.
Jiang Zhiyuan turned his head and whispered a few instructions, asking Sun Zhou to have the medical staff he had brought with him communicate with the medical staff at this hospital and to prepare to take them away immediately.
Sun Zhou nodded and stayed.
Jiang Zhiyuan then took a step and walked towards the conference room.
The leaders of Jingshan County who still remember Jiang Zhiyuan followed behind, and couldn't help but sigh. A few months ago, Jiang Zhiyuan also looked like someone who was not to be underestimated.
But compared to Jiang Zhiyuan now, he is far inferior.
Although Jiang Zhiyuan was the youngest among those present, his calm demeanor and imposing presence made them all unconsciously obey his arrangements, without harboring any thoughts of disobedience.
Upon arriving at the conference room, Jiang Zhiyuan first thanked everyone for their help, and then, without letting anyone speak, went straight to the point.
Although he got a general idea of the situation over the phone, he didn't know the specific details.
First, they inquired about the situation of Dean Qi and Yu Changlin that day, and listened carefully. Then, they had Zhang Tong invited over and asked him in detail.
They immediately began issuing orders.
The first thing to do is to have someone from the county immediately go to the health center and bring over the old doctor who gave Xu Ningyan the acupuncture.
The second point is to have Sun Zhou, along with several people from Unit X, cooperate with the Northwest Military Region to stay in the county and thoroughly investigate the matter.
Thirdly, as Xu Ningyan's fiancé, he questioned the person in charge of the Northwest Military Region who arrived later, hoping that the Northwest Military Region could give him an explanation.
The person in charge from the Northwest Military Region who arrived later looked distressed and glared fiercely at Yu Changlin beside him.
Yu Changlin lowered his head in shame, not daring to speak.
If this happened to an ordinary family, and the family members came to make a scene and beat them up, they might feel better.
Jiang Zhiyuan's question was just a casual one. Although he was Xu Ningyan's fiancé, who was he? He was the deputy director of Unit X. Such an important unit, such a young director, his future prospects were clear to everyone.
His question is likely to give even their army commander a headache.
Therefore, the person in charge of the Northwest Military Region, who originally wanted to raise objections to the second point, namely the interference of Unit X in the investigation, found it difficult to speak up and silently endured it.
What else could they do? It's obvious they don't trust the Northwest Military Region!
Even if they wanted to argue, his wife was still lying in the hospital room!
Forget it, I'm too embarrassed to say it!
Under Jiang Zhiyuan's gaze, this big man wished he could shrink into a ball.
After arranging these matters, Jiang Zhiyuan finally had time to exchange a few pleasantries with the leaders of Jingshan County, accept their kindness, and see the person off.
Those of us who have made it this far know that people don't have time for pleasantries or reminiscing right now.
However, they were only there to show their faces and express their goodwill. Now that they had achieved their goal, they wisely took their leave.
After seeing off the leaders from Jingshan County, only a few people remained in the office. Jiang Zhiyuan rubbed his temples, then roused himself. The matter wasn't over yet; there were still many things he needed to coordinate and handle.
After glancing at Yu Changlin, who was huddled in the corner, and the person in charge of the Northwest Military Region, Jiang Zhiyuan began to press for details about what happened that day.
After arranging the people, Sun Zhou inquired about the latest developments in the investigation conducted by the Northwest Military Region and then came to report back.
After hearing about Aunt Xie's background, Jiang Zhiyuan tapped the table: "Go to the Unity Brigade and bring all the information the Xiong family found. See if you can find out what kind of poison it is in there."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Inquire more carefully with Xiong Mingxia and the people from the Unity Brigade about how Aunt Xie fell ill, what her doctor was like, where she met him, and whether they could draw a portrait of her."
Sun Zhou's eyes narrowed, and his expression became even more serious: "Do you suspect there are other spies?"
Jiang Zhiyuan's expression was stern: "The Meng family has been lying low for many years, and we may not have been able to wipe them all out! Besides, they may not be spies! It's just that I just heard the description from the Northwest Military Region personnel on duty that day, and Aunt Xie must have known that Xu Changfeng was dead long before the Northwest Military Region personnel came to her house to report the news!"
"She wants to see Yan Yan, not for the so-called truth, not because she believes in Yan Yan, but because she hates Yan Yan and wants to kill her!"
Sun Zhou quickly followed up on the line of thought: "You suspect that someone tipped off Aunt Xie beforehand, and may even have distorted the truth to gain Aunt Xie's trust, making her mistakenly believe that Comrade Xu killed her son!"
"She didn't believe what the people from the Northwest Military Region said! Nor did she believe that her son was already dead!"
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
Otherwise, why would Aunt Xie poison Xu Ningyan?
But who exactly tipped off Aunt Xie?
This news was only known to people within the military region. Is there a traitor within the military region, or...?
Sun Zhou's expression immediately turned serious!
"I understand! I'll focus on that from now on!"
Jiang Zhiyuan nodded, looking exhausted: "Then I'll leave this place to you!"
Sun Zhou patted his chest and gave a cold laugh: "Don't worry, even if it's a stone, I'll make it talk!"
After thinking for a moment, I still offered a word of comfort: "Little Xu is a lucky person, he'll be alright! With Old Yu here, he'll definitely recover! You should take it easy too, lest you collapse before Little Xu does!"
