She placed the jade pendant back on Yang Yunqi's chest, locked the door, and stayed quietly inside.
When Ma Liu woke up, there were already several more people in the room. They were Yang Yunqi's children. After learning about their father's accident, all the children who could come came over.
When these people came in, Jiang Qiao immediately stopped them from crying.
"Please don't be like this. I know you're all upset, but this situation can easily cause emotional fluctuations in the patient. Even though he's not awake, he understands everything. The surgery was quite successful; it's just a matter of how his recovery goes—"
Song Zhi spoke up from the side, "There's no point in you guys staying here for now. You've all been traveling a long way. Why don't you go back to the guesthouse and rest? Tomorrow, you'll start officially taking care of your father. Jiang Qiao is also your father's surgeon. If you have any questions, you can ask her. She's staying here just in case."
"Are you Jiang Qiao?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, then greeted everyone, "Brothers and sisters, why don't you go back first? I'll stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, your father will tell you when he wakes up."
"Don't worry, you've probably heard about my relationship with your father. I'll do my best to take care of Uncle Yang. You go back first and come back tomorrow to relieve me."
Ma Liu got up and joined in the persuasion, "Go to the guesthouse and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow, you can take care of us however you like. Tonight is especially important. Yaya went into the operating room to treat your father, so you can rest assured."
The Yang family children really couldn't say anything about Jiang Qiao. During the New Year, their father told them about Jiang Qiao, and the little girl even brought them a lot of gifts. They also knew that their father had a good relationship with Jiang Qiao.
"Okay, Jiang Qiao, thank you so much. Let's go back and rest first. We'll take over tomorrow. Thank you."
As the children were about to bow to Jiang Qiao, Song Zhi and Ma Liu stopped them.
"No, given your father's relationship with Jiang Qiao, the child shouldn't accept such a gift. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it after your father wakes up."
After Officer Li escorted the person back, Song Zhi stayed in the ward and chatted with Jiang Qiao about the case.
"They didn't know either? How is that possible? They'd give a little money to strangers and they'd do it? Are they brainless, or are their brains filled with shit?"
Song Zhi sighed, "Tomorrow, the neighboring city will send someone to take these people back. Their registered residence is in the neighboring city, and that's all they know. The car was borrowed from a friend, who prepaid part of the money, and the rest will be paid when they arrive at their destination."
Where is the destination?
"Within the city, they don't even know who the person receiving the goods is."
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Nine times out of ten, they're trying to sabotage things. Besides, they also want to use this batch to divert the police's attention. They want to move the rest of the stuff away, but they don't know where to take it."
"Alright, you should go home now. You've had a long day. We can talk about it tomorrow."
After Song Zhi left, Jiang Qiao sat in the hospital room for a long time, still unable to figure out what these people's purpose was.
Water sources are not places that just anyone can approach. According to Song Zhi, people are now patrolling them. If there is any disturbance, the patrolmen will definitely find out. The enemy will not do such a stupid thing a second time. So where are these raw materials going and what are they used for?
She racked her brains but couldn't find the answer. She sighed, sat down, and started giving Yang Yunqi acupuncture. It was already past midnight, and there were hardly any people around. Ma Liu stayed by her side, watching Jiang Qiao concentrate on giving acupuncture. The old man didn't make a sound either, just stayed by her side.
He went through the same thing back then. You can't disturb a child when they're getting injections, especially since Yang Yunqi's condition is particularly serious. If the child is doing it, then perhaps this person shouldn't have any major problems.
After Jiang Qiao finished giving him acupuncture, he stood up and said, "Grandpa Liu, please keep an eye on his temperature. I'm going to take a nap. Don't move the jade pendant on his chest."
Ma Liu nodded and sighed, "Go to sleep quickly, Grandpa's here."
Jiang Qiao didn't sleep well that night. She dreamed a lot, especially about things from when she was little. Normally, she wouldn't remember any of them, but for some reason, all those memories came flooding back in her dreams. It wasn't exactly a happy childhood, to say the least.
Seeing that Jiang Qiao wasn't sleeping soundly, Ma Liu sighed and patted her hand repeatedly.
When Jiang Qiao woke up in the morning, the medical staff had already come to check on the wards. Ma Liu was calling people over, and Jiang Qiao woke up to the sound of their voices.
I don't know if it's because of the dream or because I was tired yesterday, but for the first time I feel sore all over.
When Ma Liu saw Jiang Qiao get up, he quickly and secretly stuffed the jade pendant into her hand. Although it didn't look like it was made of the most valuable jade, its quality was still very good. Especially since it was something the girl wore, and there were many people around, the old man was a bit petty and worried that someone might take advantage of the chaos to steal it. He decided to let his granddaughter keep it herself.
"Oh, young comrade, you're awake. You didn't sleep well, did you? Thank goodness you were here last night. The patient is doing very well now. I never expected him to recover like this."
Jiang Qiao smiled, stood up and straightened her clothes. "Uncle Yang is an old anti-Japanese war hero. If we don't take good care of him, we won't be able to get over it in our own hearts. Doctor, is there anything seriously wrong with him now?"
The doctor couldn't say for sure that everything was fine. "Let's wait and see. For now, things look good. You all need to take good care of her. If there are any problems, call us immediately."
After the doctors left, Yang Yunqi's children, who had been waiting outside, came in. There was no point in Jiang Qiao staying there, so she gave a few instructions and went home with Ma Liu to rest.
As for the rest, Song Zhi has already made arrangements, so Jiang Qiao doesn't need to worry about their food and lodging.
Just as he stepped out the door, he bumped into Gu Zhengkai, who was rushing over. "Uncle? What brings you here?"
Seeing his niece there, Gu Zhengkai said breathlessly, "I heard from Director Song that Old Yang had an accident. I was on duty last night, and I happened to be in town, so I rushed over to check on him. Girl, how is he?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "It's alright for now that I've come to see the person, but even if I'm alright, I've suffered a lot and it will take some time to recover. Uncle, are you off today, or are you here on business?"
"What rest? I brought people here to transport food. So many prisoners need to eat. Besides, another batch was transferred over a few days ago, so I came here to complete the formalities."
Jiang Qiao was taken aback. "Another batch has been transferred over. Who are they?"
Gu Zhengkai sighed, "There are all sorts of situations. What's wrong?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Qiao's mind: Could those who stole the highly toxic chemicals be related to this matter?
