After leaving Grandma Ruan behind, Brother Ruan returned to the ward, still worried. Suddenly, he remembered Uncle Hai: "Dad, where's Uncle Hai?"
“Ah Hai’s hometown called to say that his parents’ graves were flooded, and I told him to go back and deal with it!”
"What a coincidence? Could it be Ruan Tian's doing?" You know, if Ah Hai were here, Old Man Ruan would have been taken to the hospital long ago, instead of being given medicine for several days!
"No way?!" If it were the old Mr. Ruan from before, he would definitely say no, after all, he watched Ruan Tian grow up.
But having narrowly escaped death himself, he became somewhat uncertain: "There's a phone book in the middle drawer of my desk, could you go and call and ask for me?"
Brother Ruan stood up: "I'll go right now!"
The reason these brothers dared to leave Old Master Ruan's side was because of Ah Hai, who took very good care of Old Master Ruan.
Brother Ruan found the phone book and called back. After going through several numbers, someone finally answered: "I'm looking for Chen Hai from your village!"
"Chen Hai? Is that the Chen Hai who joined the army and served as a guard next to a leader?" The village chief was somewhat uncertain!
At that time, everyone in the village knew who had joined the army, young and old alike. Moreover, Chen Hai had been serving by the leadership's side even after his retirement.
This was all an honor, so the village chief was naturally very familiar with the name Chen Hai! The problem was, he hadn't even realized what was going on—how did the phone call get here?
"He didn't come back. Wasn't he on duty next to the leader?"
Brother Ruan's heart sank: "Didn't you call before to say that his parents' graves were flooded?"
“We didn’t call. Besides, I just went to see his parents’ graves a few days ago, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with them!”
Now Brother Ruan knows that it was just a lie to get Chen Hai away, but where did Uncle Hai go?
Chen Hai was injured during a mission, which damaged his manhood. He refused to get married, which hurt the girl. After retiring, he stayed by his grandfather's side and had almost no private time of his own.
More than a decade has passed, and he has almost lost contact with the outside world. Uncle Hai has not returned to the village, so it is impossible for him to go out and play by himself.
Even if he really had something to do, he would definitely call the old man to let him know. It's definitely not Uncle Hai's style to disappear without a trace like this.
He stood up to go back to the hospital, then called Ruan Shengpeng again. Ruan Shengpeng answered quickly and, hearing his older brother's voice, asked anxiously, "How is Dad?"
He's been glued to the phone for the past two or three days, afraid that his older brother might call and he'll miss it!
"You were absolutely right! Dad had an accident. He was drugged and was unconscious for several days before waking up. He's suffered serious damage and will need to take good care of himself!"
"Did Ruan Tian do it?" Ruan Shengpeng really wanted to strangle that sweet-faced but bitter-hearted person. All those years of raising him were like feeding a dog!
"From what Mom said, the medicine was given by Ruan Tian. She even said it was to let Lao Yezi rest. To hell with rest! I really want to shove the medicine back at her!"
"Is Ruan Tian still with Dad?"
"How could that be? Dad doesn't even dare to live with Mom and Ruan Tian anymore. He made me send them back to our hometown!"
Brother Ruan's words relieved Ruan Shengpeng: "What about Uncle Hai? Did something happen to him?"
“I just came back to call and ask about Uncle Hai’s whereabouts. The old man gave me Uncle Hai’s hometown phone number and said that his parents’ graves were flooded.”
“I just called Uncle Hai’s village, and the village chief said that Uncle Hai hasn’t gone back, they haven’t called him, and the grave hasn’t been flooded!”
"It seems something has happened to Uncle Hai. I remember Uncle Hai's hometown is near here. I'll send people to look for him here. Uncle Hai must have bought a ticket and boarded the train to get here!"
"I don't know if they got off halfway or were harmed after arriving here! You should keep this from the old man for now!"
"My father will definitely ask when I get back. Why should I keep it from him?"
"Didn't you say that the old man's health is weak? Uncle Hai has been by the old man's side for so many years, he's even closer to him than we sons. If he finds out that something happened to Uncle Hai, wouldn't that be adding insult to injury for the old man?"
Brother Ruan was somewhat taken aback. In his heart, the old man was omnipotent. Although he knew that the old man was physically weak, he never thought that the old man would be unable to bear it.
"Then you search over there, and I'll search over here too, let's see if we can find any clues!"
Ruan Shengpeng hung up the phone quickly. He spoke a few words to the guard, and soon someone came over.
Ruan Shengpeng focused his mind and drew on a piece of paper. Soon, Uncle Hai's portrait was completed. The reason why he was sent out to do missions for so many years was also related to his skill.
He could depict everyone he had ever met, so no one he had ever seen could be missed! Ruan Shengpeng drew two more pictures.
He handed the portrait to the visitor: "Go to the station now and ask if anyone has seen this person. Find him for me as soon as possible; he is an elder of mine!"
These words made the visitor stand at attention, salute, and leave! Ruan Shengpeng ordered his men to go find someone, and Brother Ruan also called on his men to go find someone. He then turned and went back to the hospital.
Grandpa Ruan immediately sat up when he saw him: "Have you found your Uncle Hai?"
Seeing the old man's anxious look, he quickly lied: "We found it, but Uncle Hai is moving the grave, so he won't be back so soon!"
Grandpa Ruan looked at his son with some suspicion: "You're lying!"
Brother Ruan was astonished: "Why do you say that?"
"You're my child, how could I not know you! Every time you speak, your hand unconsciously tugs at the hem of your clothes! You're such a grown-up and you still haven't changed. You wouldn't even know if someone sold you out!"
Brother Ruan blushed a little after what Old Man Ruan said, but since he was in regular training, his dark complexion didn't show it!
The old man stood up: "I'll be discharged now. I'll have someone check it out!"
Brother Ruan disagreed: "I'll do whatever you want. You can make a phone call at the hospital here. Dad, your body can't take any more trouble!"
Old Master Ruan had only been standing for a short while when he felt exhausted. He didn't dare to overexert himself and gave his son several instructions in succession.
What could Brother Ruan do? He could only do as he was told!
Three forces were searching for the same person at the same time. After the information was combined, Ruan Shengpeng, who was in a better position, got the news first. He quickly learned that Uncle Hai was hiding in a cave in this area.
According to the information I found, Uncle Hai is probably injured, and quite seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden away or come looking for me! The old man knows that Ruan Shengpeng is here, and Uncle Hai should know that too.
Ruan Shengpeng stood up, amused. Why did he always seem to be arguing with caves?
He took the hemostatic agent given to him by Yao Tongjia, as well as the life-saving medication specially prepared for him later, and drove off.
When Ruan Shengpeng reached the foot of the mountain, he felt a sense of familiarity with it!
