When Jiang Qiao saw the people standing inside, her first impression was that this patient seemed to be more than just ordinary people. Although these people were dressed in plain clothes, their demeanor and appearance were definitely not those of ordinary travelers.
These people wanted to stop Jiang Qiao, since they didn't know her identity, unlike Wen Jingwan and Gu Zhengfeng, who were dressed in military uniforms and whose backgrounds were obvious to anyone with eyes.
Jiang Qiao glared at him and said, "Get out of the way! If you waste any more time, can you take responsibility for it?"
Wen Jingwan stood up and quickly pulled Jiang Qiao aside to explain, "This is my daughter. She's a doctor. Let her treat the old man. Girl, hurry, the old man's heartbeat is very weak—"
Seeing Jiang Qiao's attitude, especially since Wen Jingwan mentioned Jiang Qiao's identity, the group quickly moved aside. While taking her pulse, Jiang Qiao directed the group to open the window and clear out the onlookers.
"One of you stay here, the rest of you stand outside. I need to give the patient an acupuncture treatment; no one can interfere—"
The group hesitated for a moment, but then one of them stepped forward and told the others to go out and keep watch.
Just as Jiang Qiao was about to lift the old man's shirt, the man who had stayed behind spoke up.
What are you going to do?
Jiang Qiao said irritably, "If I'm going to insert the needle, I can do it through the clothes without lifting them. Stop talking nonsense, just watch from the side and don't say a word—"
The old man on the bed had turned pale. After Jiang Qiao took off his clothes, she quickly inserted silver needles into various acupoints. At the same time, she took out medicine from her bag and asked Wen Jingwan to administer it to the patient.
"Come and help me—"
Jiang Qiao needed to control the needle, so she had to ask this man to help her mother. The old man's jaw was clenched, and Wen Jingwan alone couldn't get it in.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Seeing the man hesitate, Jiang Qiao took a bite and swallowed it. "Alright, are you relieved now?"
Jiang Qiao had already taken the medicine, so it must be fine. The man and Wen Jingwan moved very quickly, and Jiang Qiao could tell from their technique that they were clearly trained.
Nodding silently, he focused all his attention on the needle. Soon the old man reacted, slowly opening his eyes. The first thing he saw was Jiang Qiao's face.
"Commander, are you alright?"
The old man nodded to the people around him, "It's alright—"
After the injection, Jiang Qiao gave the old man some water. "Old comrade, after you get off the train, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Overwork has caused your heart to be unable to handle it, and you also have other minor health problems. You should get them treated all at once. Without good health, even if you want to work, your body can't take it."
The old man smiled and nodded, "Young comrade, thank you!"
Jiang Qiao smiled and shook her head. "It was nothing, Grandpa. You should rest first. If you need anything, just have your people come and call me."
The old man's men were now truly convinced. He had his doubts before; in his eyes, this little girl was just a child, how could she possibly cure people's illnesses?
He hadn't expected to misjudge her; the young girl was truly talented.
"Excuse me, young comrade, could you leave us some of the medicine we just had?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "Okay—"
After giving a few instructions in a low voice, Wen Jingwan left with Jiang Qiao.
The old man smiled and looked at the person standing next to him. "Little Zhou, do you know who that girl was just now?"
Zhou Nan shook his head. "Commander, do you know?"
Zhao Anbang smiled and said, "We should see this girl soon. Do you remember that little girl who received a first-class merit award?"
Zhou Nan was immediately surprised. "Jiang Qiao? Chief, is she really Jiang Qiao?"
The old man nodded. "Surprised?"
Zhou Nan nodded honestly, "I really didn't expect it to be this little girl. No wonder we were all scolded by her just now. This little girl can be quite scary when she gets serious. She has a lot of presence. No wonder she was able to make such a great contribution."
I just didn't expect the little girl to know medicine; it was quite a surprise.
Zhao Anbang smiled and didn't explain further. Jiang Qiao earned this first-class merit through his own abilities, and no one could be jealous of it.
Although Jiang Qiao knew that the old man was no ordinary person, she did not know that he knew so much about her background.
Back in the carriage, I discussed it with Gu Zhengfeng. "Sigh, I really didn't realize that leaders are so tired. I thought they just drank tea and talked a lot. It seems I was just ignorant."
Gu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "The level you've been exposed to is right here. You're surrounded by ordinary people. How would you know how those leaders work? Let's not talk about anything else, just look at your third uncle and Song Shutian. They're leaders, big and small. Look at them. When something really happens, they're busier than anyone else."
I reckon they must be very busy right now, and I wonder if their progress is going well?
Jiang Qiao sincerely said, "It's difficult. Dealing with one or two people is no problem, but that place isn't easy to get into. I'm at a loss. Perhaps, there's a master who might be able to get in."
Jiang Qiao thought of the graves in her hometown and asked, "Dad, when do you plan to move them?"
Gu Zhengfeng shook his head. "It's not appropriate right now. Didn't you see what happened to Lao Linzi? Once things have calmed down a bit, I'll find someone to work with your grandfather and uncle to move it quietly."
Jiang Qiao nodded, then with a strange smile on her lips, she leaned close to Gu Zhengfeng's ear and whispered a few words.
Gu Zhengfeng chuckled and patted his daughter's head. "You silly girl, you even remembered this. Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Dad, what do you think that guy does? Those guys look pretty skilled, like bodyguards. But why aren't they wearing uniforms?"
Gu Zhengfeng shook his head. "I couldn't tell which leader it was either. Our place is remote, so we don't see many high-ranking leaders. But I guess you'll get to know them sooner or later. Don't forget why you came here."
Wen Jingwan watched the father and son whispering to each other and felt as if she was being neglected.
"What are you two doing? Why are you talking so secretly? What are you saying? Let me hear you!"
Jiang Qiao turned her head with a smile, "Mom, I really admire you. You're really brave. That old man looked like a big shot. Weren't you scared?"
Wen Jingwan looked completely clueless: "I didn't realize it at the time either. If those people hadn't stopped you, I wouldn't have known he was with the old man. Qiao'er, did you figure out what he did?"
Jiang Qiao and Gu Zhengfeng exchanged a smile. Wen Jingwan was quite nice; she didn't have many ulterior motives, and it was good that she was simple-minded.
"I couldn't tell either, but I felt he was probably not an ordinary person. Anyway, let's not talk about him anymore. I'm going to sleep now, you guys should rest too."
