Wang Benshan knew exactly who Jiang Qiao was. As long as Jiang Qiao made a promise, even if he didn't have children, at least someone would take care of him in his old age. As for whether he would live to see the day he needed Jiang Qiao's care, he didn't care. In their line of work, it was all about living for today and never seeing tomorrow.
In the past, when he was young, he was naive and didn't know the immensity of life and death. But as he got older, he began to think about this issue more and more. Sometimes, he didn't even want to think about it. He just told himself to take things one step at a time.
Now, he has someone to take care of him in his old age. What does that mean? He doesn't have to worry about the future. This is much more secure than having children. Who can guarantee that someone with children will be able to enjoy their old age in peace?
However, Jiang Qiao was different. Wang Benshan believed what this girl said, and not just in a normal way, but completely. How lucky must she be to be someone who couldn't even be killed by a lone wolf?
Song Shutian returned faster than Jiang Qiao had expected, and judging from his expression, it seemed to have been successful.
"Um, Director Song, Old Wang has agreed to cooperate, but he has one condition..."
He told Song Shutian about Wang Benshan's idea.
Wang Benshan explained from the side, "Before, I got together with her to hide my identity. To be honest, I really didn't have any feelings for her. After all these years, I still can't get used to it. And with that kind of thing happening in my family, I can't even take care of myself. I don't want to be a burden to them. If you tell her the truth, she will agree. I don't want anything."
Song Shutian nodded, and Jiang Qiao stood up. "You two talk it over and figure out how to arrange the escape. I'll go out first—"
To be honest, Jiang Qiao was really tired. She found a place to rest for a while. Zhang Dalei and the others had finished their interrogation, and Song Shutian had also finished talking to them.
"Let's go back to sleep. Jiang Qiao has to treat someone tomorrow. Let's go—"
Speaking of this, Jiang Qiao felt a little sorry for the little mute girl, because the agreement they had made was delayed because of Wang Benshan's matter.
"Come on, I need to get some sleep. Things here should be pretty much done, right? Shouldn't we get ready to go back?"
Song Shutian smiled and nodded, "We'll leave after you've finished treating the little mute."
The next morning, Jiang Qiao went to see the mute boy for treatment. The mute boy's parents were overjoyed to learn that Jiang Qiao was going to treat their child.
They had considered getting treatment for their child, but their family's financial situation was limited. All the doctors they had consulted shook their heads, so given their current circumstances, they couldn't afford to take their child to a bigger city for treatment—they simply didn't have the money.
After learning about the little mute boy's situation, Jiang Qiao took his pulse again and sighed. It wasn't originally a difficult illness to treat, but the long delay had caused the child to become like this.
Now that she had taken care of the child, Jiang Qiao didn't hesitate. She had the little mute boy take off his clothes and lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and then she started giving him acupuncture. This acupuncture session took quite a while.
The couple paced anxiously outside the door. No doctor they had ever seen had taken this long. Was Jiang Qiao any good or not?
However, even if they had doubts, these honest and upright people knew that the person came to treat their child without charging a penny. You can't say anything about it just because of their kindness.
However, when he saw Jiang Qiao's appearance, his previous suspicions turned into deep guilt. How could someone exhaust a young woman just to treat their child's illness? He felt so sorry for her.
"Um, Comrade Jiang Qiao, why don't you take a break and have some water—"
Jiang Qiao waved her hand, "No, you need to give this medicine to your son right away."
Jiang Qiao explained how to take the medicine, "I'll come back tomorrow—"
It wasn't that Jiang Qiao didn't want to stay, but she was too tired and needed to rest. If her health hadn't been neglected, given her skill level, she really wouldn't be in this state.
The little mute's mother was still worried about Jiang Qiao. Seeing Jiang Qiao's condition, she dared not let her go back alone. So, she helped Jiang Qiao out the door.
Fortunately, someone was waiting outside. Zhao Anbang's bodyguard was already waiting in his car. When Jiang Qiao came out, he quickly helped her into the car.
"We'll come back tomorrow. You should go back and give the child his medicine."
Seeing Jiang Qiao return with a pale face, Zhao Anbang felt a pang of pity.
“Girl, if it doesn’t work, send that child out for treatment. Others might not be able to cure him, and you might just end up getting sick from the stress.”
Jiang Qiao shook her head and said weakly, "Given his current condition, even if we send him to the mainland, it will be useless if we can't find a skilled doctor. It would be better if I did something to save them the trouble of making the trip. We're not exactly wealthy, and the travel and accommodation expenses alone would be a huge expense. I'll just give him acupuncture for a few days, and he can take medicine to regulate his body for the rest of the time. He'll only be tired for a few days."
Zhao Anbang understood what was going on with Jiang Qiao. He sighed and patted Jiang Qiao's shoulder. "Good child, I'm sorry you had to suffer with me. You hadn't recovered yet, and you came all this way. Once the little mute has finished getting his acupuncture, you should go back and recuperate."
By the way, I called your uncle and had one of my former subordinates check on the person. So far, things are going well, so don't worry.
I know you're worried about your uncle and his family. I heard they're doing quite well these days, and the medicine you mailed to your uncle seems to have been a big help to them.
Jiang Qiao was dumbfounded. "Ah, that medicine can have this effect?"
Zhao Anbang smiled and said, "You silly girl, you're a doctor, you can cure diseases and make medicine. This stuff may not seem like much to you, but what you don't know is how good your medicine is. When a sick person takes your medicine, it's like being given a new life. Tell me, does it work or not?"
When you get back, take some time to study your medicine. To be honest, I think it works well. Go back and rest now!
Jiang Qiao didn't have time to rest. She went back, took some medicine, and quickly started cooking.
Song Shutian and the others weren't coming back for lunch, so she only needed to cook her and Zhao Anbang's portions.
The meal for two was simple, a mix of meat and vegetables, with a soup and steamed buns.
After the two finished eating, Song Shutian and the others returned. No one knew what they had been doing that morning.
However, judging from the smiling faces of the three people, everything should be arranged properly.
"How is it? Is everything arranged?"
Song Shutian smiled and nodded, "It's all settled. We've discussed it, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow. How's the situation on your end? Are you able to leave on time?"
Jiang Qiao nodded. "However, I can't go back with you. I have to go see my uncle."
Cao Mingyuan smiled and said, "No way! If they won't go with you, I will. We can keep each other company."
Jiang Qiao looked at Cao Mingyuan in surprise, "You're coming with me? Aren't you going home?"
