Chapter 131: Waking Up

  Lu Ye held the package of sugar-roasted "high-grade" chestnuts (Liu Lao said that if he didn't take it away, it was because he thought his high-grade chestnuts were not delicious,囧!), and quickly slipped into the kitchen to lower her voice: "Mom, what's gotten into him today? Has...he been caught?"

  The gentle and lovely white girl glared at her with one eye: "This little girl, she's already so old, don't talk nonsense! Mom doesn't know the specific situation, but Liu Grandpa will be here before five o'clock, and he keeps making small talk to get close to me. I'm really not used to it, so I hid in the kitchen!"

  "This doesn't seem right, if he didn't know something, he wouldn't come to play dumb." Luo Ye stroked her chin and pondered for a moment: "Dad hasn't returned, I guess we can't ask him anything, I'll go call the person in the know."

  "Don't be too hard on your dad..." A warm and helpless expression, this girl ran like she was flying, vanished in the blink of an eye, and her words were left unfinished!

  "I'm sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable..." The mechanical female voice from the receiver made Luo Ye a little flustered. How could Night Xuan's phone be unreachable?

  He died for the sake of helping her family, if something unexpected happens... Luo Ye didn't dare to think further and quickly dialed Jiang Zheng's phone. Fortunately, it rang twice before Jiang Zheng picked up: "Ye, what's going on?"

  Luoye became even more anxious. How could he possibly not know what was going on? This was absolutely a case of feigning ignorance! "Uncle Jiang, why can't we get through to Ye Dage's phone?"

  "Little girl, can't hold it in anymore? I was wondering why you didn't call me for half a day!" Jiang Zheng's gentle laughter made Luo Ye's hanging heart put down a lot. If something really happened to Ye Xuan, how could Jiang Zheng be in this mood.

  "Uncle Jiang, I've been waiting for your news all along. When I got home from school, I found Liu Grandpa flattering my grandpa in every way possible. Given his personality, he wouldn't be acting like this unless he had something to ask of my dad."

  Jiang Zheng laughed and said, "Ye Er guessed it right, Liu Zhengxing and Liu Song were both caught, but it took some effort. Fortunately, we discovered this matter early, if we had delayed for a few more years, it would have been even harder to capture them."

  "Are there casualties?" Luo Ye's heart rose again.

  "Wounded, but not dead!"

  Lu Ye helplessly scratched his hair: "Uncle Jiang, please don't answer one sentence for every question I ask. Can you just explain the situation in detail? It's driving me crazy!"

  "Hehe......, Xiaoye, are you worried that the injured person is Ye Xuan?" Apparently, Jiang Zheng was addicted to teasing her.

  "Uncle Jiang!"

  Listening to Luo Ye's changed tone of anger, Jiang Zheng smiled and said: "Alright, you've been involved in this matter all along, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth.

  Liu Zhengxing determined that he could not escape death through Qian Mei's affairs. He mobilized the underground forces that had been lurking in Island City for many years to escort his father and son out to sea, but Ye Xuan and Director Zhu of the Municipal Bureau blocked their way near the Korean border.

  "In the process of capture, both sides had a fierce battle. Ye Xuan's mobile phone was smashed to save Director Zhu Guohong of the Municipal Bureau. Don't worry, except for one policeman being shot in the leg. Zhu Guohong had a minor injury on his arm, and no one else was injured!"

  Luoye Song let out a breath of dissatisfaction and complained, "Why didn't you just say so earlier? You're getting more and more overbearing, Uncle Jiang!"

  Jiang Zheng smiled and teased: "Heartless little girl, why don't you call Uncle Jiang when something happens, but only call Ye Xuan?"

  "Big Brother Ye called me just now when I was near the island city, Uncle Jiang you are really good at picking faults. By the way, does Liu Zhengxing's family know about his arrest?"

  "Got it. Last night, I went to his house for a search, and that old man Liu probably went to ask your dad for help." Jiang Zheng paused and continued: "Your dad didn't come home, he'll probably ask you."

  Lu Ye was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses. She realized that as the future daughter-in-law of the Night family, it was entirely possible for Old Man Liu to behave in such a manner. Moreover, she could be certain that when Old Man Liu arrived, he must have brought La Ni Cui and Liu Xing along with him, only to be rejected by both of them.

  Nie Cui had absolutely understood Liu Zhengxing and Liu Song's behavior long ago, but couldn't persuade them so she could only turn a blind eye. Now that the matter has been exposed, with her personality, she won't ask for anyone's help in a short period of time!

  Liu Hang had a deep affection for her and was already displeased with his father and brother's behavior, so he couldn't bear to go to their house to plead on their behalf.

  "General Jiang, we're about to enter the city..."

  Listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone, Luo Ye thought for a moment and understood: "Uncle Jiang, have you entered the urban area of the island?"

  "Yes, we've arrived at Yangcheng District, and it'll take about half an hour more to enter the city center."

  "Uh..." Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll hang up, Uncle Jiang will come to my house after he's done."

  Jiang Zheng hastily shouted: "Wait, Ye Er isn't curious why Ye Xuan didn't give you a call?"

  "It should be busy." Luo Ye acknowledged that Ye Xuan had just blown her off like this, and she was uncomfortable in her heart. Even if the phone was broken, it could have been said to her with someone else's phone, but this sentence, she really couldn't ask out loud.

  "Silly girl, you're obviously unhappy about this but still pretending. Jiang Zheng's voice turned serious: 'Yexuan escorted a group of people back and immediately entered the trial phase. During the trial, they can't contact the outside world. He was worried you'd be concerned, so he called me to tell you the specifics.'"

  Let me explain it to you this way, he's telling you that it's a leak, but if I tell you, it's nothing. You're not from my department, so I can't explain the reason to you. Yeh, I don't want you to have any misunderstandings with Ye Xuan, Uncle is really hoping you two will become a couple!

  "Uncle Jiang, I'm only 16 years old, you're thinking about this too early. I have a question to ask Uncle Jiang, and you must promise not to scold me!"

  "Speak!"

  Lu Ye burst out laughing: "Jiang Yang is four years older than me, in terms of age, she's quite a match for Ye Xuan, cough, why don't you play matchmaker for Jiang Yang and Big Brother Ye?"

  "You think I don't want to hold hands? It's just that no matter how hard I try, these two just don't have any sparks. Forget it, I won't bother arguing with you little girl anymore. Clearly, you're just trying to avoid facing Old Man Liu, and are intentionally dragging me into small talk. Hanging up!"

  Listening to the humming receiver, Luo Ye's lips curled up, humming, and in the future, there will be those who will ask for her help, Jiang Yang's sister's affairs she is very clear about!

  After dinner, Mr. Liu couldn't wait for Luo Zhengang and scolded Luo Wenxi and Luo Ye severely. After listening to the old man's reminiscence of the past, the mother and daughter concluded that if it weren't for Liu Zhenghang, the entire Luo family would have been killed long ago!

  After the case was closed, Old Man Liu made a request. His sons and grandsons had been wronged and framed, so he asked the mother-daughter duo to use their connections to repay the kindness they had received. After all, one cannot forget favors and turn against those who helped them.

  At his age, the old man can't take it if he gets angry or upset. If he falls ill, it's hard to say what might happen. The two of them will be in trouble then. Don't worry, they finally managed to get rid of the old fellow by 8 o'clock tonight.

  ……

  Looking at Qian Mei lying on the bed like a dead person, Luo Ye sighed helplessly and walked out of the ward. Whatever she said now, she wouldn't be able to get through to her, probably all she could think about was how to leave.

  Not long after seeing off Old Man Liu, Luo Ye received a call from Wang Yike. Qian Mei had woken up and was transferred out of the ICU to a VIP ward.

  The whole family of four hurried over, Qian Mei's life and actions had been previously told to her family, so the Luo family treated Qian Mei as a benefactor. Upon hearing that she was awake, even Old Master Luo didn't care about his old age and firmly came together with them.

  Unfortunately, after everyone arrived at the ward, no matter what was said, Qian Mei just stared blankly at the ceiling, motionless. Luo Ye knew very well how painful it was when the anesthetic wore off, but Qian Mei's expression was as if she had no feeling at all. A person wouldn't become numb like this unless they were completely hopeless and had lost all desire to live.

  Out of the ward, Wen Xin couldn't help but sigh softly: "This child is so pitiful, look at how he's been tortured, this father and son duo are really ruthless!"

  "Grandpa, Mom, Brother, it's late. You all go back, I'll stay here and keep her company tonight."

  "Let Grandpa and Mom go back, I'll stay with you!"

  "Brother, no need, the nurses will take care of the specifics. I just want to accompany her and talk to her about some psychological issues to comfort her. You can't sleep here anyway, if you're worried, come pick me up tomorrow morning!"

  Luofeng originally wanted to persist, but found that Nurse Liu was secretly glancing at him, so he quickly agreed to his sister's request and pulled his grandparents away.

  Luo Ye entered the ward and sat down for a while, when Liu suddenly rushed in and said in a low voice: "Miss Luo, Dr. Su asked you to go to his office."

  Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat as he quickly got up and went to the doctor's duty room.

  Dr. Su is the surgeon who performed the operation on Qian Mei, his name is Su Can, over 30 years old, with delicate features, fair and smooth skin, a very elegant man, said to be a high-achieving graduate from a prestigious American university, returned to work in a domestic hospital out of gratitude for his mentor.

  "Hello, Dr. Su!"

  Su Can was filling out a medical record, pointing at the chair across from him and giving Luo Ye a faint smile: "Miss Luo, please sit down."

  Luo Ye's eyebrows furrowed unintentionally: "What's wrong with Qian Mei's injury?"

  "No, the patient's wound is not a problem, the key is her mental state, there is no desire to survive at all. If this continues, it is very likely that an accident will occur. Even if there is no accident, I am worried about another point, when she has the energy to move around, it will probably be dangerous!"

  Lu Ye nodded: "I understand what you mean, and I'm thinking of a way."

  "At this time, the concern of family or lover may give her the will to live, can Miss Luo be notified?"

  "She's an orphan and doesn't have a lover for now!"

  "I see, forgive my impertinence..." Su Can was at a loss for words for the moment. The way the patient had been sent over and her injuries already indicated that she was a poor girl, but he hadn't expected her background to be so pitiful as well.

  I'm so tired, but fortunately tomorrow is Saturday. I hope this week can be adjusted. These days have been really busy at work. Originally wanted to take a break on Dragon Boat Festival, but ended up going out and having fun once, what a pity! These days I've also had a fever, my body is weak, it's frustrating, sigh...
