As soon as she finished speaking, she realized she had made a foolish mistake—the guy was still wearing an oxygen mask.
She quickly got out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to call the doctor. Chen Chen was dozing off against the wall outside the door. When he heard her call the doctor, he immediately jumped into the room.
Seeing his captain wake up, the big guy rushed over with tears of joy, grabbed his hand that hadn't been injected and pressed it to his chest: "Waaah, you're finally awake!"
Ning Yuan led the doctor and nurses in, and seeing Chen Chen sitting by Rong Zhaonan's bedside, sobbing uncontrollably, everyone's lips twitched...
Anyone who didn't know better would think Chen Chen was the lover of the guy in bed!
The doctors and nurses checked on Rong Zhaonan and changed his IV drip twice.
The doctor began to explain the precautions after the patient regained consciousness: "Pay attention to the amount of gas you pass. If there are no problems after three days, you should get out of bed and walk around to avoid adhesions in the abdominal cavity. Also, since you have a urinary catheter, remember to call the nurse when the urine bag is full."
"Is 'passing gas' the same as farting? I've been injured and hospitalized before, so I remember. I have experience, and I'll keep a close eye on the captain's farts and urination!" Chen Chen said very seriously.
The person lying motionless in bed: "..."
Ning Yuan looked at the person on the bed, who was still very weak, but whose ears were already red and whose eyes were full of anger as he glared at Chen Chen.
Unfortunately, it's too weak and has no deterrent effect!
Ning Yuan found it amusing and gently reached out to touch his dark hair: "You're alright now, don't think about anything, just focus on recovering."
He lay there motionless, his bangs falling naturally to the back of his head, revealing his fair and defined forehead and nose. He looked pale and weak, but his long, deep eyes were fixed on her, and his fingertips gently touched the gauze on her hand.
She actually understood, and her heart softened: "Don't worry, it's just some superficial injuries. You should rest well."
Chen Chen excitedly went out to inform his team members, and the doctor also left.
Ning Yuan lowered her head and kissed his forehead: "Okay, don't push yourself too hard. You've lost too much blood, you can sleep a little longer."
There's no rush to get out of bed or do other things right now.
Sure enough, he looked at her for a while, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again, exhausted.
Ning Yuan felt relieved. Looking at the sunset outside the window, which shone on Beijing in the 1980s, she breathed a sigh of relief.
...
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Rong Zhaonan's mental state is not very good, but he can already lean slightly against the rocking bed.
"The doctor said you're recovering very quickly and you can drink water now. Does your wound still hurt?" The tall, sprightly old man with gray hair sat on a stool, leaning on his cane, and asked gently.
Rong Zhaonan nodded, his voice still somewhat hoarse and weak: "I'm fine."
Old Ye looked at him and suddenly sighed: "I came here because I have something to tell you. Be prepared, because of He Su, your father will be suspended from all his duties and will be investigated, including you."
Ning Yuan paused as she poured tea for the old man, and subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan.
His expression remained calm: "Yes, that's right. I was originally an unofficial staff member."
"This is also a good thing for you. Take good care of yourself in the hospital during this time and make sure you recover well." Seeing that he was optimistic, Old Ye was relieved.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment, handed over the teacup, and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, is He Su colluding with that big spy Tang Jun...?"
This should have a significant impact on the Rong family...
The secretary next to Old Master Ye took the teacup and continued, "Based on the previous investigation and the interrogation of those around her these past two days, the preliminary conclusion is that she and Tang Jun have indeed known each other for many years, but she has not actually participated in any espionage activities."
Ning Yuan was taken aback: "Is that so?"
The secretary nodded: "It could be considered a crime of harboring a criminal, but she did not provide Tang Jun with a hiding place or money, help him escape or give false testimony. She only induced Tang Jun to do some things. If Tang Jun had not attacked you in the first place, he would not have been exposed so quickly."
Ning Yuan was shocked: "Tang Jun came to deal with me because of her..."
The answer to her previous question left her completely stunned. It turned out that He Su wanted to kill her even before they had met!
But why...?
She subconsciously looked at Rong Zhaonan, only to see his gloomy face and the undisguised disgust and revulsion in his eyes.
That expression didn't seem to be from someone simply being abused and mistreated by their stepmother...
Ning Yuan sensed something was off.
At this moment, Old Master Ye looked at Rong Zhaonan and said, "Actually, this is a good thing for you and your father. At least she didn't use her identity to leak secrets, otherwise your father would probably have to retire completely."
Ning Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, He Su's leak would not only affect Rong Wenwu, but also Rong Zhaonan.
However, in his previous life, Rong Zhaonan still held a high position, which means that He Su was also successfully dealt with. It's just unknown whether it was his sister-in-law Cha Meiling who took action, or whether Rong Zhaonan handled the matter himself.
Rong Zhaonan said calmly, "Then let him retire. People who can't judge character are not suitable for important positions."
Secretary Ye: "..."
Ning Yuan: "..."
Brother, you're ruthless. You're trying to send your dad away, but sending your dad away will also affect you.
Looking at Rong Zhaonan's weak yet stern face, Old Ye sighed after a long while: "Grandpa knows that you hate your father, child. You hate him so much for forcing you to leave the army and be sent to the cowshed. You suffered so much injustice and torment during those years."
He paused for a moment, then said, "But this is my advice to your father. If you want to hate someone, hate this old man."
Rong Zhaonan was stunned and looked at Elder Ye in disbelief.
After a long while, he gripped the blanket tightly, looked at Old Ye, and said through gritted teeth in a hoarse voice, "I... I don't believe it!"
Old Master Ye's bombshell left Ning Yuan speechless: "...???"
Ah...why is this happening?
Grandpa Ye looked at Rong Zhaonan with a deep expression: "Grandpa has a question for you. Do you think the Xiang family has fallen to its current state entirely because of He Su's malicious schemes behind the scenes?"
Rong Zhaonan didn't speak, but with a stern face, he asked in return, "Isn't that so?"
