It was dinner time when the family of three arrived at the hospital.
Chen Shanhe had very little time left to stay in Huacheng, so he simply bought some food and went to the hospital where everyone ate and chatted.
"Dagang, I owe you one." Chen Shanhe patted Li Dagang on the shoulder.
"Oh! Captain Chen, don't say that. If you say that, I'll never be able to repay you in my next life." Li Dagang was shocked. "Besides, I didn't do anything and someone pierced my leg. In the end, it was my sister-in-law who saved me. Sister-in-law..." He glanced in the direction of Jiang Shiyue and praised her with a complicated expression, "Sister-in-law, you are very brave!"
Chen Shanhe's eyes fell on Jiang Shiyue's lips, which were a little swollen from looking too red, and he nodded with a smile, "Indeed, he is brave."
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
He pinched the soft flesh on Chen Shanhe's waist without leaving any trace.
Chen Shanhe frowned, but the smile on his face remained. He held Jiang Shiyue's hand with his hands behind his back.
"Captain Chen, why are you here?"
Jiang Shiyue stopped what she was doing and looked up at Chen Shanhe. She also wanted to know this question.
Chen Shanhe said briefly, "I'm here on business. I'll probably be in Huacheng for a week." He raised his wrist to check the time. "I have half an hour left before I have to leave. My wife will have to trouble you for a few days. After I finish my work, I'll take a few days off and come over to take care of it."
"Tsk!" Sun Mingliang shook his head. "Captain Chen, you bought those three hours by playing the time difference, didn't you?! I never thought you'd end up like this."
Jiang Shiyue didn't understand and asked, "What does it mean to play with the time difference?"
Chen Shanhe still tried to brush it off, "Don't listen to their nonsense!"
Liu Jianmin also followed suit and exposed Chen Shanhe's tricks, "Sister-in-law, it's like this. We usually go on business trips, and I won't talk about the confidential tasks. But occasionally, there are business trips such as going out for exchanges and learning, which don't require confidentiality. For these business trips, you can buy your own tickets and go, of course, there is often a set arrival time.
For example, let's say we're in Huacheng, and my business destination is Yincheng. My boss mandates that I arrive before 8:00 PM on the 8th. However, through careful planning and backing up at the designated time, I can still save a day or two to run some personal errands or visit my family home before the deadline. This saved time is the time difference.
We usually only get a day or two out of a week's journey, but Captain Chen managed to get three hours by flying over. That means he's saved time for sleeping and eating, right?!"
Jiang Shiyue was slightly stunned and looked up at Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe was as quiet as ever, and his profile was like a towering mountain, resolute and determined.
Her eyes felt a little sore.
This man!
He can't say sweet words.
Never said I loved her.
But it still made her feel at ease.
Chen Shanhe turned around to appease Jiang Shiyue, "They're talking nonsense!" Then he turned around and threw the banana peel in his hand at Liu Jianmin, "You're the only one with a big mouth."
Liu Jianmin casually picked up the banana peel and threw it into the trash can, grinning: "There's nothing we can do. If you don't have a mouth, then only we brothers will have to have mouths."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
***
Jiang Shiyue managed to spend more than an hour with Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe planned to take a long-distance bus to his destination, Haicheng, on time.
His reporting time is before midnight.
Jiang Shiyue went to find Duan Kunze and borrowed his car to take Chen Shanhe to Haicheng.
In this way, they can stay in Haicheng for about half an hour longer.
Yangyang followed Liu Jianmin.
The main reason was that Yang Yang was unwilling to separate from Jiang Shiyue, and Chen Shanhe was also worried about Jiang Shiyue driving back alone.
Liu Jianmin followed to take care of the children and also to serve as a driver.
When they got in the car, Liu Jianmin discussed with Chen Shanhe, "Chen Ying, how about you knock me out?"
Chen Shanhe: “…”
***
It takes about an hour and a half to drive from Huacheng to Haicheng.
Jiang Shiyue didn't know what to say.
Chen Shanhe is in the compound and everything is kept secret. He can't say this or that.
Jiang Shiyue said everything he wanted to say on the phone every day.
So the two of them had nothing to say for a while.
Liu Jianmin, who originally planned to remain silent all the way, quickly found his position and started talking nonstop.
Ever since he met Jiang Shiyue, everything Jiang Shiyue did and everyone she met poured out to Chen Shanhe like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
I also mentioned the He family.
"Captain Chen, let me tell you, this He family is quite interesting. Although the four of us are all locals, as you know, we all live in the countryside and aren't familiar with the city. It was only because of my sister-in-law's story that I learned about the powerful He family in Huacheng..."
How should I put it? The He family is indeed a local tyrant, with a great reputation in the local area, and they do have connections in both the black and white worlds.
But, what’s interesting is that the He family’s situation always reminds people of a phrase: “a dog relying on the power of its master.”
It is said that the old man of the He family was a soldier when he was young, and was also a guard beside the leader.
During a war, Old Master He sacrificed his two legs to save the life of his chief, and then he took off his military uniform and returned to his hometown.
Although protecting the leader was He Laoye's duty, the leader remembered He Laoye's life-saving grace. After the world was at peace, he personally came south to visit He Laoye.
In fact, this was just a small episode, but it unexpectedly changed the fate of everyone in the He family.
When Old Master He just retired due to illness and returned home, his wife and children at home comforted and took good care of him, and sent condolences to him every now and then on the street.
However, as the saying goes, there is no filial son by the bedside of a long-term patient.
After the initial flowers and applause faded, He and the old man were just an ordinary "waste" with paralyzed legs who relied on others to serve him.
