Jiang Yan still chose to believe Du Chong, not thinking he would lie, but Duan Yu didn't think so.
However, he didn't want to refute him, since nothing is more convincing than seeing the facts for yourself.
"In that case, let's pick a time to go back. It's also time to settle accounts with those zombies over there. I think that person is from Dongzhou."
Jiang Ruan had a premonition that she would definitely see that person again on this trip, and a strong intuition told her that the person must be from Dongzhou.
“We have no objections, we can just go together then,” Duan Yu said as he sat down.
Jiang Yan nodded; he agreed.
After leaving the room, Jiang Ruan was about to go check on Gu An. The baby in her spatial dimension had been sleeping a lot lately and wouldn't wake up no matter how many times she called him, so she planned to check on Gu An first and then go find the baby after confirming that he was alright.
To everyone's surprise, Wanmei ran right into him as soon as he stepped out the door.
"Ouch! That hurts!" Wanmei clutched her forehead, which had been bruised, and spun around three times to relieve the pain.
Jiang Ruan has special abilities, so compared to Wan Mei, she didn't feel any extra discomfort. So she gently touched Wan Mei's forehead and said with a smile, "What's wrong? You're so nervous that you can't even watch where you're going."
The words were reproachful, but the tone and expression were somewhat amusing.
Wan Mei's face instantly fell, and she immediately blurted out what she had just been about to say: "It's terrible, Ruan Ruan, that person, you know, Xiao Xiang, that guy has disappeared..."
She had thought Jiang Ruan would be furious or at least a little nervous after hearing this, but to her surprise, Jiang Ruan just gave a faint "oh" and then said nothing more.
Wan Mei finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked with a puzzled look, "That's someone you personally captured! And according to those people, she seems to be... one of their people. Shouldn't you immediately order an investigation?"
Jiang Ruan gently shook her head and replied with a smile, "It's alright. Let her go if she's missing. There's no need to chase after her. You shouldn't worry about her anymore. You should take better care of yourself. Here, you don't have any special abilities, so you must work hard to learn some self-defense skills. Just remember what I taught you before, and that will be enough."
Wan Mei blinked, somewhat confused, but since Jiang Ruan said she wouldn't look for him anymore and didn't care, she had no objection.
"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore!" As she spoke, Wan Mei touched her forehead and felt the spot that had been hurting. She couldn't feel it at all. She thought of Jiang Ruan's actions just now and felt a surge of joy.
Just as I was about to say something, I looked up and couldn't see Jiang Ruan anymore.
In Gu An's room, Jiang Ruan's father and mother were present.
Jiang's mother looked at Gu An lying on the bed with a worried expression and couldn't help but ask her daughter, "Ruan Ruan, are you saying that the child still won't wake up?" Her voice trembled and choked with sobs; she couldn't accept this reality.
Since Gu An fell ill, Jiang's mother had always treated him like her own child, showing him the utmost care and concern. Now, seeing him still unconscious, the pain in her heart is unimaginable.
Jiang's father also looked worried; his once energetic face was now filled with exhaustion and anxiety. He and his wife had always treated Gu An as their own son, and were especially concerned about his illness. Every time they heard a bad diagnosis from the doctor, their hearts ached as if being cut by a knife.
Jiang's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Gu An again, her eyes filled with heartache and reluctance. She gently stroked Gu An's face, as if trying to pass on her strength to him. "Why is this child so unfortunate!" she murmured to herself, tears blurring her vision again.
Jiang's father stood silently to the side, his gaze solemn and resolute. He knew the situation was far from optimistic, but as the head of the family, he had to remain calm. He comforted his wife, saying, "Don't worry, we must believe that Ruan Ruan will do everything she can to save Xiao An."
However, deep down he also knew that reality was often cruel and merciless.
Otherwise, why would Gu An be lying in bed every few days, and why has he not shown any signs of waking up yet?
Jiang Ruan sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her heart heavy. She was equally anxious about Gu An's condition, but as someone with healing abilities, she was even more aware of her own power.
She sighed helplessly and said softly, "Mom, I know you're worried about Gu An. But his condition is indeed quite serious right now, and we can only wait."
Jiang's mother held Jiang Ruan's hand tightly, her eyes filled with expectation. "Ruan Ruan, you must find a way to save him. Mom knows you're capable, you'll definitely find a way." She firmly believed that her daughter could create a miracle, because Jiang Ruan had always been the smartest and most outstanding child in the family.
Jiang Ruan squeezed her mother's hand tightly, offering her some comfort.
When Wanmei ran in, she saw Jiang Ruan holding her mother, her head bowed, her face filled with sorrow.
She understood instantly. She was a doctor; how could she not know? Gu An... he had no heart!
