Chapter 163: Yun Cheng Is Lively!

Hao Dui parked the car and walked over.

“What’s wrong?” He asked when he saw Lu Zhaoying frozen in place.

Lu Zhaoying withdrew his gaze and turned around to whisper to him, “That guy with the sunglasses, do you know him?”

Gu Xichi’s personal information had been protected by people, especially in the past few years, so it wasn’t easy to get a picture of him.

But Jiang Dongye had one. It was an earlier picture of Gu Xichi, but Jiang Dongye couldn’t find any news about him in recent years.

He had shown Lu Zhaoying the picture before.

Lu Zhaoying had been playing games and hadn’t paid special attention to the person, but even with a glimpse, Gu Xichi’s face resembling that of a celebrity had left too big of an impression.

His personal style was too obvious.

Hao Dui naturally didn’t have Gu Xichi’s picture, so he just glanced over and asked, “No, is he a celebrity?”

Lu Zhaoying shook his head and didn’t say anything.

He felt too uncertain about it. Jiang Dongye had employed the use of countless manpower to find him in the Middle East, so how could he possibly see him in Yun Cheng?

Wasn’t Jiang Dongye too miserable, then?

Despite this thought, Lu Zhaoying still took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Dongye.

Gu Xichi asked Qin Ran about Ning Wei’s ward number.

He found Ning Wei’s ward easily.

However, the ward was empty and even the door was opened.

“Excuse me, where are the people in this ward?” Gu Xichi took off his sunglasses and reached out to stop a nurse.

He pointed in the direction of the ward and smiled.

The nurse looked at his face and was stunned for a moment before stammering, “They’re in the operation room on the 22nd floor.”

“Operation room?” Gu Xichi paused and asked quietly, “Amputation?”

“It’s recovery surgery.” The nurse shook her head, her expression slightly excited. “I heard that Dr. Cheng personally took the lead.”

The nurse wasn’t clear about the other details.

“Okay, thank you.” Gu Xichi turned to the side and let the nurse leave.

Then, he took a cap and buckled it on his head before heading to the underground parking lot to wait for Qin Ran.

Twenty minutes later.

Qin Ran escorted a group of people back to the police station while Mu Nan and Qin Ran returned to the hospital.

They only came to know that Ning Wei was in the operating room when they had left the Mu family’s house.

Mu Nan went directly to the operating room on the 22nd floor and Qin Ran went to the underground parking lot.

Gu Xichi was leaning against the wall in the corner and it was too dark to see his face. He took off his sunglasses and raised an eyebrow. “I wanted to tell you last time that if you found Cheng Juan, he might be able to save your aunt, but that guy isn’t easy to invite. Who knew that your aunt had already been pushed into his operating room by the time I arrived.”

Qin Ran pinched her wrist and buttoned her sweater hat on her head again.

Exposing only her delicate white jaw.

After hearing Gu Xichi, she pursed her lips and leaned on the car next to her. “So there’s hope of recovery for my aunt’s leg?”

“If you had stayed in the international medical department before, you wouldn’t have such doubts.” Gu Xichi walked forward and sat side by side with Qin Ran on the front of the car. He turned and chuckled. “He’s famous in the international medical department.”

Every year, every country sent representatives from the international medical department to participate, as well as students to carry out medical exchanges.

It was a few years ago when domestic medicine was still relatively backward, and it was also the first time they joined the national science department. The students sent over had been looked down upon and the doctor there didn’t even bother pointing out their problems, just half-heartedly told them to follow the foundation.

Cheng Juan had taken the ten-centimeter-thick medical code and blocked the entrance of the laboratory.

They were all new students and their levels were pretty much the same.

Cheng Juan was also a new student and he didn’t do anything, just moved a bench and sat at the door of the laboratory with the medical code, politely challenging the foreign students.

These new students weren’t too concerned about Cheng Juan and the others and would sometimes point at new instruments and ask if they knew what it was.

At first, they didn’t care about Cheng Juan’s provocation.

However, besides the same batch of students as Cheng Juan, even those who had come to the international science department one year earlier also lost to him.

At that time, the new and old students of the international science department were all mad and almost went crazy.

Finally, the doctors invited the academician over and stopped Cheng Juan.

After that time, the international science department changed and those doctors lost their pride completely.

“Was your aunt’s leg due to an accident or someone’s evildoing?” Gu Xichi hadn’t mentioned to Qin Ran that he could tell something was wrong because the situation had been too urgent, so he didn’t ask and just hurried over.

“Someone did it.” Qin Ran narrowed her eyes.

“Do you need my help?” Gu Xichi stared at her.

“No, I’ll settle it.” Qin Ran stood up and reached up to pull her hat over her head. “Find a place to stay first. Since you’re already here, I’ll take you to see my grandma soon.”

On the 22nd floor.

When Qin Ran arrived, Lu Zhaoying was with Hao Dui.

Doctors and nurses rushed to and fro in the operating room.

Mu Nan pursed his lips tightly and glanced at Qin Ran, then lowered his head and continued standing there.

The atmosphere was solemn. Lu Zhaoying touched his earrings. It was rare that he didn’t interject and just comforted Qin Ran.

1 PM.

The tightly closed operating room suddenly opened.

Cheng Juan came out first. He pulled the mask down with one hand and unbuttoned his white coat with the other.

Lu Zhaoying was originally leaning against the wall and looking at his phone in boredom. When he saw him coming out, he stood upright and said, “Master Juan, how’s the situation?”

Everyone in the corridor looked at Cheng Juan subconsciously.

Cheng Juan swept his eyes across the corridor and stared at the thin black figure at the end before saying quietly, “The operation was very successful.”

Mu Nan’s tight heart finally relaxed.

He slid down weakly along the wall and sat on the ground.

Within two minutes, the doctor pushed Ning Wei’s bed out. Her eyes were closed and her face was pale. She was still asleep because of the anesthetic, and her left leg was wrapped in a white gauze tightly so that no trace of blood could be seen.

She didn’t look as shocking as before.

Qin Ran came over and confirmed Ning Wei’s condition.

Her heart relaxed.

Then, she turned and looked at Cheng Juan, her voice low and hoarse. “Thank you.”

Cheng Juan threw the white lab coat to a nurse and looked down at the new piece of data the dean handed him.

After hearing her, he raised an eyebrow and returned two words slowly. “You’re welcome.”

**

Qin Ran and Mu Nan went to the ward and waited for Ning Wei to wake up.

Lu Zhaoying and Hao Dui were outsiders and it wasn’t convenient to follow them inside.

Cheng Juan held a seminar with a group of doctors after every operation, mainly so that he could help them solve their questions.

“I heard that someone did this on purpose.” Hao Dui drove over to Qian Dui, turned, and stared at Lu Zhaoying. He couldn’t help but ask, “Who could be out to harm an ordinary middle-aged woman?”

The middle-aged woman had even been handicapped, to begin with.

It didn’t make sense.

Lu Zhaoying leaned back, turned his phone around in his hand, and shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

His phone vibrated.

Hao Dui reminded Lu Zhaoying to look at his phone.

Lu Zhaoying looked down and saw that his phone was spammed with messages from Jiang Dongye—

[I used so much manpower to turn the whole Middle East upside down and yet I couldn’t even find Gu Xichi’s shadow. How could you randomly bump into him in Yun Cheng?]

[…]

[Keep an eye on him, I’ll be there at night!]

Gu Xichi seemed to be hiding fiercer than before. In the past, Jiang Dongye had been able to figure out his general direction, but recently, he couldn’t even find out if Gu Xichi was a man or a woman.

Thus, Jiang Dongye had done everything he could to ask Cheng Juan to help him investigate.

But now, Lu Zhaoying said he saw someone in Yun Cheng who looked like Gu Xichi.

In the past, Jiang Dongye wouldn’t have believed Lu Zhaoying.

But he couldn’t find any news of Gu Xichi now, so if it was just a back view, much less someone resembling him, Jiang Dongye would still rush over.

Lu Zhaoying put his hand on the car window and stared at Jiang Dongye’s message before sighing.

Jiang Dongye arrived at night.

If Gu Xichi was really in Yun Cheng, then Yun Cheng would soon become really lively.

First Hospital.

In the VIP ward.

In the past two days, Chen Shulan was in better spirits than before.

The nurse helped her pour a glass of water and smiled. “I haven’t seen your grandson in a long time.”

“Yes.” Chen Shulan held her mobile phone in one hand full of gorges and watched a video on it. When she heard the nurse mention Mu Nan, she squinted and smiled gently. “He just called me the day before yesterday to tell me that he’s participating in a Physics competition, so he has to train at night.”

The violin music sounded in the ward.

The caregivers were used to it now, for Chen Shulan would watch the video whenever she was free.

“Your granddaughter plays the violin so well.” The nurse handed the glass of water to Chen Shulan and praised heartily.

“You also think it’s nice, don’t you?” Chen Shulan took a sip of water and turned to look at the nurse, the emotion in her voice unpredictable.

The caregiver laughed and put the cup back in place before laughing. “Of course.”

Once the caregiver left, Chen Shulan’s eyes turned to the video on the phone.

This was Qin Yu’s violin performance sent by Ning Qing.

Her pair of cloudy eyes gradually sank.

After a long while, she closed her eyes and turned off the video.

She took out her phone and called Ning Qing with trembling hands.
