Sun Tianlei explained, "We'll have someone escort us along the way, so don't worry about it. Okay, let's have a quick bite and then we'll set off."
The vehicle that took them there was a car arranged by the garrison. After Jiang Qiao and the others finished eating, they left. Ning Hao had planned to come and check on them at noon, but unfortunately, Jiang Qiao had already left.
"Uncle Zhao, are those two people reliable?"
Zhao Jian nodded. "Chen Fang has already confirmed it, so there shouldn't be any problem. Judging from their demeanor, it seems that Jiang Qiao is fine. It's probably mainly targeting that Director Jiang."
As for Director Song, I can't say for sure. But don't worry, Jiang Qiao has her own principles, and not just anyone can bully her.
Ning Hao sighed, "But the problem is, she's pregnant now. Can she handle such a long and bumpy journey? I just don't understand why Qiao'er has to make this trip?"
Not only was Ning Hao puzzled, but even Zhao Jian and the others couldn't explain it.
"Alright, since it's arranged by higher-ups, we can't say anything else. Old Chen will contact them from here."
His wife had already left with someone else, so no matter how many thoughts Ning Hao had, it was all in vain. He left dejectedly, and even his subordinates could tell that their coach was unhappy today.
But no one knew why, they just had never seen Ning Hao smile, and he trained them much more harshly than usual.
Ning Hao had nowhere to vent his frustrations, so he could only take it out on his subordinates.
After Jiang Qiao set off, she headed towards the capital.
The young man was puzzled as he watched Jiang Qiao keep looking back.
"Comrade Jiang Qiao, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at him and said, "I'm checking to see if anyone is following us."
The man chuckled and said, "Following us? Who would follow us in broad daylight? You're being way too nervous. It's not that serious."
Jiang Qiao sighed. "Comrades, we must always be on high alert. What are you all doing? I don't need to tell you, do I?"
The enemy has tried to assassinate me so many times, but I have managed to escape death by staying vigilant at all times.
Many people probably already know you're here, right?
Sun Tianlei smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang Qiao, don't worry, our comrades are all trustworthy."
Jiang Qiao glanced at the young man and curled her lip, clearly disagreeing with his statement. She was too lazy to argue with him. It was better if nothing happened; if something did, no one could escape it.
Sun Tianlei continued, "Comrade Jiang Qiao, I need to discuss something with you. We'll be staying at the military guesthouse tonight, and I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you for a favor—"
Jiang Qiao glanced at the other person and said, "Let me make one thing clear first: I will not do anything against my conscience, such as murder or arson. You can tell me about other things, and I will help if I can."
She wasn't being too sure of herself. Who knows what these people are up to? What if they sell her out and she still has to help them? Would she be stupid?
Sun Tianlei smiled and said, "Well, it's not a big deal, but only you can do it. I heard from Shutian that your medical skills are quite good. My father-in-law has health problems, and my wife has already gone back to her parents' home to be with him."
I was worried the old man wouldn't make it through the New Year, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to have you check on him and see if he's alright. We've done our best.
"Your father-in-law? What does he do?"
"You'll see when we get there; he's a soldier—"
Jiang Qiao nodded knowingly. "I see. Then let's go directly to your father-in-law's place. Is it far?"
"It's not far, we can get there before dark, so let's rest there for a while."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Sun Tianlei and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll refuse?"
Sun Tianlei said sincerely, "You won't, Shutian said that you would definitely want to help my father-in-law, whether he can be cured or not is another matter, but this time, you will definitely come with me."
Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow. "Not for any other reason, but just for the old man's contributions to the cause of liberation, I definitely have to go this time."
Since there was nothing to do in the car, Jiang Qiao took out the food and drinks she had prepared. The two people had come empty-handed, and even just looking at what Jiang Qiao had prepared made their mouths water.
Although they weren't hungry, the food in Zhao Jian's canteen was just so-so, lacking meat and oil. It would at most fill them up, but they could forget about eating well.
"Come on, I can't be the only one eating, everyone should try some. I can't help it, I'm pregnant, I have to have some food and drinks ready for me at any time."
Jiang Qiao wasn't a stingy person; the three people in the car shared their food with her.
Jiang Qiao had eaten and drunk her fill, and took a short nap. She wasn't sure when she would arrive, so she decided to rest for a while.
By the time Jiang Qiao woke up, it was almost dark, and they were taken directly to the military hospital.
After settling in at the hospital guesthouse, everyone had a simple meal, and then Jiang Qiao was taken to her ward by the two men.
Seeing the elderly man in the ward who was covered in tubes and unconscious, Jiang Qiao briefly inquired about his condition.
Not to mention the family members, even the doctors didn't know what was wrong with the elderly person; they hadn't been able to find anything.
"He was perfectly fine before, nothing wrong, but suddenly he started vomiting, and then he became like this—"
Jiang Qiao couldn't get any answers from the family, and the attending physician had already gone off duty. Jiang Qiao first took the old man's pulse, and what she saw shocked her.
"Hurry up and prepare my things, and get the on-duty doctor and nurse over. I'll give him an injection first. The old man has worms in his brain, and we need to find a way to get them out quickly, otherwise, his life will be in danger."
Jiang Qiao didn't explain further; explaining wouldn't be easy, and time was limited, so she had to hurry and save people.
Sun Tianlei's wife didn't know Jiang Qiao's identity. Her husband only said that she was a doctor, but doctors don't usually appear this young. Especially since Jiang Qiao's explanation was only vague, it made her feel uneasy.
Not to mention her, her brothers and sisters are all like that.
You mean, none of the senior doctors in the hospital said anything else, yet this person could see something amiss just by taking her pulse? It sounds like this girl is joking.
However, they knew they couldn't say anything else in front of Jiang Qiao, so they pulled Sun Tianlei out and asked who Jiang Qiao was. They had seen doctors this young before, but how good could her skills be?
"Hey, don't doubt it. Is there a better way? Dad's already like this, it won't hurt to let Jiang Qiao give it a try, right?"
Sun Tianlei's wife spoke up directly, "We can't joke around with the old man's life. Are the people you brought reliable? My dad is already like this, we can't put him through any more trouble."
Sun Tianlei didn't know what to say to Jiang Qiao now. "You have to believe me. I also want to save our dad. This person was recommended to me by Shutian. If it doesn't work, Shutian can't tell me. Let her try. It can't hurt."
