When Rong Wenwu heard that his son was alright for the time being, his shoulders visibly relaxed.
A short while later, Rong Zhaonan was wheeled out of the operating room.
Chen Chen and his teammates hurriedly took the transport bed and a bunch of IV drips from the doctors and nurses and pushed Rong Zhaonan into the ward.
The doctor and nurses followed Rong Zhaonan in and took care of all the post-operative instruments.
"Even in a spacious single room, we can't have this many people. Just two family members are enough," the doctor said, frowning as he looked at the crowd in the room and at the door.
Seeing Rong Wenwu and Secretary Qiu standing outside the door, Chen Chen coughed lightly and called out, "Come on, all of you, don't crowd here. We'll take turns coming to take care of you later!"
With their deputy boss speaking, the young men reluctantly left the ward.
Upon passing by the entrance and seeing such a large Buddha statue of Rong Wenwu, everyone quickly lined up, bowed respectfully with a touch of restraint, and then hurried on their way.
Ning Yuan didn't greet Rong Wenwu; she just focused on taking the notebook that Aheng had given her and listening to the doctor explain some precautions.
"The patient cannot drink water or eat for the next two or three days after surgery. We will assess when he can, but once he is awake, we can keep his lips moist..."
Rong Wenwu stood at the door, looking at the young man on the bed with his eyes closed, pale from excessive blood loss, and a look of heartache flashed in his eyes.
Secretary Qiu handed Rong Wenwu a water bottle and reassured him, "Don't worry, the surgeon is the top surgeon at this hospital. He's one of the best in the entire Beijing surgical community, not only in the military medical system."
Rong Wenwu took the water bottle with a somber expression: "Over at the bridge site..."
Secretary Qiu's expression was also not good, his brows furrowed slightly: "The comrades from the public security unit are already conducting an on-site investigation..."
"Rong Wenwu." A graceful and composed middle-aged woman's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Secretary Qiu's words.
Rong Wenwu looked into the ward and saw a familiar figure, dressed in a simple suit, yet elegant and graceful, walking out of the ward.
"Hello, Ms. Wen." Secretary Qiu paused for a moment, then nodded politely.
Madam Ning nodded to him in greeting, then looked at Rong Wenwu: "Would it be convenient for us to talk alone? Let the two children who survived this ordeal be alone for a while?"
No matter how old a child is, they are still a child in their parents' eyes.
Rong Wenwu paused for a moment, then realized he was about to be scolded again.
He looked at Secretary Qiu, who nodded and soon found them an empty medical staff meeting room.
Secretary Qiu thoughtfully poured them tea and closed the door.
Rong Wenwu looked at Madam Ning's wrist wrapped in gauze, a look of guilt flashing in his eyes: "Cousin Wen, I've dragged you into this..."
"It's nothing that you've dragged me down. I don't know how you could have been so blind all these years, remarrying that viper-like woman and not seeing through her schemes to sow discord between you and your son?!"
Madam Ning looked at Rong Wenwu without any politeness and questioned him coldly.
She was older than Zhou Zhujun and Cha Meiling's mother, and was considered an older sister figure in the socialite club.
Not to mention Rong Wenwu, no matter how high his status is now, in her eyes he is still the young secretary brother who followed behind Zhu Jun back then!
Rong Wenwu looked out the window, clenching his fists wearily, veins bulging on his forehead, a look of pain on his face: "...It was my fault for misjudging people."
Madam Ning said coldly, "Look at yourself! Look at the state you've brought on Zhao Nan! How can you face the spirit of Lord Zhu in heaven?!"
Upon hearing Zhu Jun's name, Rong Wenwu's stern brow furrowed slightly. He closed his eyes, too distressed to speak: "..."
Madam Ning took a deep breath: "Alright, I don't want to get involved in your family's mess, but you should clean up the mess caused by that poisonous snake you raised. Don't drag my precious daughter and Xiao Ai into it. Zhu Jun and I must have owed you and your son a debt from our past lives!!"
Beautiful women are trouble, and handsome men are trouble!
After saying that, Madam Ning got up in a huff, grabbed her bag, and left.
The Hong Kong government secretary outside the door saw her come out and immediately reached out to support her: "Second Madam, shall we go back to Miss's place?"
Madam Ning shook her head: "It's rare for those two children to get along. Let's go back to the hotel first."
She paused for a moment, then said, “Go ask Secretary Qiu for another copy of Zhao Nan’s medical records and surgical data. Send it to the director of Queen Mary Hospital and ask him to prescribe a batch of good imported medicines based on these records. When the young master comes over the day after tomorrow, bring the medicines along with the supplements.”
Even if the surgeon in mainland China is good, the current level of medication is still too poor, and there are few types of antibiotics, which is not conducive to the child's recovery!
When Secretary Qiu heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. These days, imported medicines are rare. He glanced at his old boss in the room.
Rong Wenwu was taken aback. Looking at Madam Ning's retreating figure, gratitude flashed in his eyes. He nodded to Secretary Qiu and said, "Go with her and cooperate well with her work."
Then, he said to Madam Ning with mixed feelings of gratitude, "Sister Wen..."
"No need to thank me. It's only because of Zhu Jun that I, as the nanny, should take extra care of the children. It's only right that I do," Madam Ning said calmly.
After saying that, she helped her secretary leave.
Ah Heng remained silent to the side, but seeing how even the usually stern uncle was rendered speechless and could only obey orders by the gentle and composed demeanor of Madam Ning, he was still impressed.
She muttered enviously, "My brother is living off Xiao Ning! These resources... are truly enviable!"
Without realizing it, she voiced her envy aloud, and her expression of envy was so loud that 'others' could hear it.
Rong Wenwu recalled his advice to Rong Zhaonan to think carefully about whether he wanted to marry Ning Yuan, only to find that his own son had gotten the better deal. His face darkened immediately: "..."
Secretary Qiu: "..."
Indeed, looking back now, Xiao Nan had an excessively handsome face, and he was able to marry the Ning family's youngest daughter while herding cattle and shoveling cow dung in the countryside. In fact, who knows who was the lucky one!
But... Ah Heng is just too straightforward!
Secretary Qiu looked at his old boss, who was stiff with embarrassment, and coughed: "Ahem... Ah Heng, why don't you go back and pack some daily necessities for your brother and Xiao Ning? I think Xiao Ning will most likely be staying in the hospital for the next few days."
The young couple survived the ordeal; one was still unconscious, while the other had already arranged for an extra hospital bed to be brought into their room, turning their single room into a double room.
Fortunately, it was a specially approved ward, the room was large enough, and it even had a private bathroom.
After Secretary Qiu finished speaking, he hurried off to catch up with Madam Ning, as he still needed to retrieve the medical records and surgical data!
Aheng belatedly chuckled awkwardly at his uncle-in-law, "Old leader, well, I was just talking nonsense, I'll be going now!"
Rong Wenwu paused for a moment, then looked at his second secretary: "Let's go too, there are still many things to finish up."
After He Su's incident, Chao Bei was also terrified...
...
Time passed second by second.
Before she knew it, it was afternoon. Ning Yuan woke up from her afternoon nap, still groggy, when she felt someone watching her.
She rubbed her eyes and subconsciously turned her head, only to see a pair of narrow, cool eyes quietly watching her from the next bed.
Ning Yuan was startled and immediately got up from the single bed next to her: "Why are you awake? You didn't even call me!"
