"Jiang Qiao? Are you talking about Jiang Qiao, the one in our city who received a first-class merit and was personally received by the leader?"
Hou Diankui glanced at them disdainfully. "Nonsense, who else could it be but her? How many people like Jiang Qiao are there around here?"
Back then, she saved the lives of an entire city. Now Jiang Qiao is waiting for my medicine to save her life. If you delay the treatment of this hero, you'll all be in big trouble. If I don't deal with you, someone else will.
I'm putting this out there today; if you don't believe me, just try it.
And Jiang He, how did you and your family bully Jiang Qiao back then? She didn't hold it against you, but now you're kicking her when she's down. Are you connected to enemy agents? Do you want Jiang Qiao to die sooner, right?
Jiang He waved his hands repeatedly in fright, "You're talking nonsense, I wasn't like that, I was just a child back then—"
Of course, any smart person could understand what was going on after hearing those words, and the leader immediately realized that something was wrong.
Putting aside Jiang He's matter, even Jiang Qiao is not someone he can afford to offend.
He couldn't have gotten to where he is today without knowing anything about it.
Especially this old man, daring to make such a statement, he must have no one backing him, who can believe him?
He quickly spoke up, "Take him away from me. How dare he delay the hero's chance to be treated? I think he has ulterior motives. Old comrade, I'm sorry, I'll go back and interrogate him now. You should go back and treat the hero. We won't take up any more of your time."
The tense situation instantly changed when Jiang Qiao's name was mentioned.
When Hou Diankui breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but marvel at how resounding Jiang Qiao's reputation was. It was quite useful even in the city. That girl was lucky to have such a name; it was more effective than any talisman.
As for Jiang He, just wait and see. He usually doesn't bother with other people's business, but now that this guy has schemed against him, he'll deal with this little bastard later.
The comrade who knew Hou Diankui came over and pulled the old man up. "Master Hou, how is Jiang Qiao now? I heard from Director Song that she hasn't improved. Is she really going to be saved this time?"
Hou Diankui took a closer look and found the person somewhat familiar. Although he didn't know where he had seen him before, he was certain that the person knew him.
He smiled and shook the other person's hand, saying, "Comrade, thanks. This time it should work out. Just wait for the good news."
They knew about Jiang Qiao's situation, since it involved enemy agents, and everyone knew that this girl had helped a lot in this matter.
In particular, Hou Diankui still managed to get medicine back for Jiang Qiaozhi's illness, and these comrades were also very helpful, directly sending a car to take the old man back.
"Master Hou, then we'll wait for your good news. Give Jiang Qiao your regards, and goodbye—"
Hou Diankui returned to his home in the county town and went to find Song Zhi without stopping. There were still things to do, and he couldn't handle them all by himself.
"Okay, I'll contact Chen Fang right away. Master Hou, do you think our Qiao'er will be able to wake up this time?"
This time, Hou Diankui gave a rare, very definite answer: "Pretty much. So, we have to send the child to the valley. That place is the most suitable. And you should discuss with Chen Fang and Ning Hao about the people there. You must use the most reliable people. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be problems."
Song Zhi understood this perfectly well. Jiang Qiao's life and death were of paramount importance. He had heard Xiao Song mention it before, and even the old commander had personally inquired about Jiang Qiao's situation despite his busy schedule. How could there be any mistakes?
Song Zhi made this phone call, first contacting Chen Fang, and then Ning Hao.
Once Chen Fang found out, Song Shutian naturally found out as well.
Upon learning that Hou Diankui had found the item, Song Shutian sat in his chair, unable to calm down for a long time. He was too excited to understand others, but those who had experienced those events that night knew why Jiang Qiao had become the way she was now.
If the Tong family had succeeded back then, they wouldn't have had a chance at all.
Because Shinichi Sato's goal was to take advantage of that opportunity to change time and space. Although this idea was too novel and a bit delusional, he was just a little short of being realized by the other party.
Fortunately, Jiang Qiao acted decisively at that time; otherwise, no one could say for sure what the outcome would have been, because they all had eyes to see, and he had also heard Liu Zhanyu's report on the situation at that time.
Therefore, Jiang Qiao's fall touched the hearts of these people, and they truly hoped that Jiang Qiao could return.
The thought that Jiang Qiao might be able to fight alongside them in the future filled Song Shutian with excitement. He had to quickly share this good news with Jiang Jinyu.
After hearing the news, Jiang Jinyu remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"I hope Hou Diankui won't let us down. Xiao Song, you should go back and pack your things now and go there in person. This is a very important matter, so please don't let anything go wrong."
Song Shutian smiled and nodded, "I came here to talk to you about this too. But you can help me handle things here. Later, when Jiang Qiao wakes up, maybe the little girl can cure your health."
Jiang Jinyu smiled and said, "Still a little girl? Jiang Qiao is already over twenty years old. This child has missed out on so much. Sometimes, I really feel sorry for her."
Go and make proper arrangements. Although this may seem absurd to outsiders, we've been through far more absurd things. Let's try to succeed this time; otherwise, Jiang Qiao might not be able to wait any longer.
"Yes, then I'll be going now—"
After Hou Diankui made the preparations, he went to the countryside to see Jiang Qiao and also to tell her family.
Ma Liu and the others were sitting in the courtyard preparing medicinal herbs when they saw Hou Diankui arrive, and they were overjoyed.
"Hey, Lao Hou, you're a rare guest! Where have you been all this time? You haven't made a sound for so long. Have you found the stuff yet?"
Hou Diankui chuckled, "If I don't find it, would I dare come back? With your mouth, Ma Liu, I'd have to put up with it."
Ma Liu stood up excitedly and looked at Hou Diankui with a serious expression. "Old Hou, are you sure you're not lying to me? This time, it really works?"
Hou Diankui nodded. "It should be almost done. Liu Zi, hurry up and get me something to eat. I haven't eaten yet. I've been busy with this all day. Go quickly!"
Ma Liu excitedly went to the kitchen to prepare food for Hou Diankui. Hou Diankui sat on Ma Liu's stool and casually picked up a stone.
"Little Stone, where are your mother and Aunt Jane?"
The little guy pointed to the side room, "Mommy and Aunt Jian are giving my sister a bath. Grandpa Hou, when will my sister wake up? You promised me—"
The little guy's somewhat resentful look made Hou Diankui feel ashamed. "Shitou, maybe this time it will work. Just wait, wait for your sister to wake up and play with you."
The little guy looked at Hou Diankui with serious eyes and said, "Really, you're not lying to me. Let's pinky swear."
Hou Diankui earnestly held hands with the little guy, saying, "This time, Grandpa definitely won't break his promise."
