Qiao Jie had known Jiang Qiao for so long, and he knew the girl's abilities. Ma Liu could be cured without Jiang Qiao's help. Although he was a doctor, he knew his own skill level.
Gu Zhengkai sighed, "Don't even mention it. This morning, we had a little trouble. Our daughter went to our workplace with some people and happened to catch an enemy agent. When she came back in the afternoon, she ran into Yang Yunqi, who was critically ill. She didn't even have time to rest before rushing to his aid. She was exhausted afterward..."
After hearing Gu Zhengkai's account, Qiao Jie finally understood what had happened. "So that's why you made me brew this kind of medicine. Okay, I understand. Let's eat first, and I'll try giving you an acupuncture later."
Ma Liu looked at Qiao Jie with a worried expression. "Brother, are you sure you can handle this? Don't hurt him."
Qiao Jie rolled his eyes. "Don't underestimate me. You know what your older brother does. Let's eat. The girl knows what she's doing. We'll talk about it later."
It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried, but there was no need to make these two people worry too much. Firstly, the old man trusted Jiang Qiao; if it were serious, she wouldn't have gone straight home. She always knew how to act appropriately.
In addition, he had just taken the child's pulse. The child was indeed injured, but there was a certain energy within him. He couldn't quite put his finger on what it was; perhaps it was internal energy repairing itself. That's why he dared to make such a claim.
Gu Zhengkai didn't leave tonight; he stayed to keep the old man company. The main reason was that he was worried about his niece. You know, the child's parents weren't around, and as her uncle, he couldn't just leave her in this state. It wouldn't make sense.
However, Jiang Qiao was still unconscious the next day, and Gu Zhengkai panicked. "What should we do? She won't respond no matter how we call her. Should we take her to the hospital?"
Qiao Jie shook his head in disagreement. "No, the doctor can't see anything either. We haven't practiced treating internal injuries, so it's hard to say. But the girl came back because she felt staying in the hospital was useless. Boss, don't panic, let's wait and see—"
Qiao Jie's words lacked confidence. He hadn't experienced this before and didn't know much about it. However, he was clear on one point: his granddaughter was different from other martial artists.
Ma Liu spoke up from the side, saying that he was far more knowledgeable than anyone else.
“Zhengkai, listen to your uncle. We should keep this matter to ourselves. Some of the experts in the palace have suffered internal injuries. The medicine they took was specially formulated. Although I don’t know much about this, the medicine in the hospital is probably not the right one.”
Our child is just lucky; she only did this to save someone. Let's not panic. If things get really bad, call Zhengfeng and see what he has to say.
That's what they say, but if Jiang Qiao doesn't work out, Ma Liu doesn't have a better solution. He'll notify the child's father, Qiao Jie, who has no objection.
"Okay, it's only right to talk to Zhengfeng. After all, he's the child's biological father. Perhaps there are some things we don't know, but he does."
Gu Zhengkai sighed, "Alright, I'll make the call right now. Uncle, I'll leave the girl in your care."
When Song Zhi heard that Jiang Qiao was in trouble, he immediately became anxious, asking, "What happened? What went wrong? Was she poisoned?"
This was the only thing he could think of: the girl was a target of enemy agents, and this situation might be related to enemy agents.
However, after hearing what Gu Zhengkai said, he regretted it. "If we had known it would turn out like this, we would have sent Lao Yang to a hospital in the city. Look, Lao Yang is fine now, but the girl is like this. How am I supposed to explain this to my brother?"
Gu Zhengkai patted his shoulder and said, "Don't rush, let me finish my call with my brother first."
Upon learning of Jiang Qiao's situation, Gu Zhengfeng immediately became restless. "Brother, tell me properly, why is Qiao'er like this?"
He, as the father, knew perfectly well what was going on with his own precious daughter.
Upon learning that Jiang Qiao had made a mistake while adjusting her breathing during Yang Yunqi's treatment, Gu Zhengfeng was no longer anxious. After clarifying Jiang Qiao's reaction at the time and what she did afterward, he felt much more at ease.
“Brother, don’t worry. The girl knows what she’s doing. I understand her situation. There shouldn’t be any major problems. Since Grandpa Qiao said so, you can ask the two elders to keep a close eye on her. I don’t think it’s a bad thing that the girl hasn’t woken up yet. If anything happens, you can contact me anytime. If she still hasn’t woken up, I’ll go back for a visit.”
Gu Zhengkai frowned and said, "What's the use of you coming back? You're not a doctor."
Gu Zhengfeng chuckled on the other end of the line, "Brother, don't forget, I used to practice too. I know a thing or two about it. As for Qiao'er's condition, don't move her for now. Since she wants to go home and not stay in the hospital, she must have her reasons. Just make sure my daughter doesn't starve to death—"
Wen Jingwan originally came to invite her husband home for dinner, but unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, she heard this last sentence.
My heart tightened immediately. "What happened? What happened? What's wrong with my daughter?"
Gu Zhengfeng was holding the phone when he saw his wife come in. He looked troubled, unsure whether he should tell her about the child.
Gu Zhengkai on the other end had no idea and kept asking his younger brother if there was a better solution.
Wen Jingwan didn't even need to ask her own man; she simply grabbed the phone and asked Gu Zhengkai.
Upon learning of her daughter's current condition, the mother immediately burst into tears.
"Big brother, please take good care of Qiao'er for me. I'll be right back. There are only men in the house, and the child is like this. It wouldn't be right for me, as her mother, not to be there for her. Remember to give the child water, okay? I'll book my train ticket back right away."
Gu Hanting was at home taking care of his two children and his grandson when he saw his daughter-in-law rushing back, which puzzled him.
"What happened? Did someone chase you away?"
However, upon looking at her daughter-in-law's eyes, it was clear she had been crying. She glared at her son and said, "You bullied Jingwan? You brat, is this how I raised you?"
Gu Zhengfeng was also wronged. "Dad, it's not like that. Qiao'er probably has internal injuries. The child didn't wake up this morning. When the third brother called, Jingwan heard it and said she had to go back to take care of the child."
Gu Hanting was dumbfounded. "What? Explain yourself! What happened to Qiao'er?"
After learning the whole story, Gu Hanting couldn't sit still any longer, but he managed to remain calm. "Don't rush, Second Brother, go book our tickets first. We're going back. Also, what about the baby? Should we take him back? He's so young, he hasn't been weaned yet. Will he be able to manage on the way?"
Wen Jingwan didn't care about the consequences. "Take him back. If you take good care of him on the way, it shouldn't be a problem. I don't trust anyone else to take care of him. Dad, let's go together. Zhengfeng, I need to take a vacation. I haven't had a proper vacation in so many years. I need to take half a year off. I'll come back when the child is a little older."
