Chapter 202: Chapter 202: I’m Going to Find Her

In the county hospital, Shao Lizhong handed Huo Zui’s medical records to Xu Qinghuan, “This is the situation. Please look at the records in detail. We hope Huo Zui can return to his previous state. This might be a high expectation, but losing a comrade like him is a huge loss for the country.”

In her past life, Xu Qinghuan had dealt with the military many times, and she knew that training an elite soldier was no easy feat, especially someone like Huo Zui, who excelled in both individual combat and command abilities as a talented youth.

“Of course, we’re not intending to pressure you. Just do your best,” Shao Lizhong added.

“I understand!” Xu Qinghuan reviewed all of Huo Zui’s diagnostic information, then said thoughtfully, “The surgery should be conducted as soon as possible. If you trust me, I’ll do my utmost.”

She had anticipated this human favor when asking Shao Lizhong to intervene.

Key is, she also needed to connect with the Huo Family.

Shao Lizhong let out a sigh of relief; he hadn’t misjudged her.

Huo Chi was unwilling to delay even for a moment, “Let’s leave today then!”

Huo Chi sent someone to take Xu Qinghuan back to get the referral letter and pack clothes. The driver, wanting to save time, said, “Doctor Xu, I’ll go help you get the referral letter, you go pack, and then I’ll come pick you up?”

“Sure!”

Xu Qinghuan first went to find Jiang Xingye; he had been busy with threshing machine work recently, so busy that his footsteps seemed to float. Previously, he wanted to accompany Xu Qinghuan to the hospital, but he hadn’t let him come along. Now, she didn’t know where he had gone.

No one was home either, as Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin had gone to work, so she left a letter on the table.

“Xinyu, Xiaomin, Aye, I need to go to Yan City for something, return date is uncertain, take care, do not worry! Xu Qinghuan.”

Because she hadn’t seen Huo Zui’s situation in person, she didn’t know how long the treatment would take, so she was afraid to write a specific return date and then fail to return, which would be too worrying!

After pressing it down with an empty tea can, she came out with her clothes.

The driver went to Jiang Baohua to get her referral letter. Jiang Baohua was somewhat unwilling to issue it after witnessing Xu Qinghuan’s capabilities firsthand. He worried constantly, fearing Xu Qinghuan might look down on his nephew.

But Jiang Xingye’s attention to Xu Qinghuan was so obvious that even the village dogs knew.

If Xu Qinghuan didn’t return, he truly didn’t know if his nephew could withstand it.

“When will Young Xu return?” Jiang Baohua asked indirectly.

“It’s hard to say!” The driver thought if Doctor Xu cured the Huo Family’s young master, they would surely be grateful. No matter what kind of gratitude, it would easily persuade the Huo Family to bring Young Xu back to the city.

After all, who likes staying in the countryside to farm?

Jiang Baohua felt a pang of regret, but then thought it understandable, only feeling very heavy-hearted and shed a tear for his nephew.

He even thought that when the time came, whether it’s the elder or younger one’s job, whichever Xiaowu wanted, he would transfer it.

Jiang Xingye missed Xu Qinghuan. After finishing his business in town, he went to the hospital. Upon asking around, he found out Xu Qinghuan wasn’t there. He quickly pedaled his bicycle back, just reaching the village entrance when he saw Qiu Linghua.

She spat the pumpkin seed shell out, “Oh, Jiang Xiaowu, you’re finally back. Your wife ran away with someone!”

Jiang Xingye was struck as if by lightning. He rushed forward to grab Qiu Linghua’s collar, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Qiu Linghua was scared to death but still found joy in provoking Jiang Xingye’s fury, “It wasn’t me saying it, go ask around, who doesn’t know Young Xu ran away with someone and won’t come back!”

Jiang Xingye knew Xu Qinghuan would eventually return to the city — she was an eagle, the sky was her home. But he hadn’t expected the day to come so quickly, catching him off guard and shredding his heart.

He didn’t bother with Qiu Linghua anymore and threw his bike aside, running straight towards the Jiang Family. Upon arriving at their door, he saw Jiang Baohua and the others sitting quietly on the kang, the atmosphere was heavy, and his heart sank.

“Xiaowu’s back?” Jiang Baohua quickly got up, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed, “Xiaowu, Young Xu has left with the referral letter. You have to… think positively!”

“She’s just gone to help someone with treatment; she’ll come back!” Jiang Xingye said this without much confidence, his eyes reddened, thinking that even if she were to leave, she would definitely say goodbye to him first. She’s not someone to leave without a word.

Jiang Xingmei said, “Yes, I also believe Young Xu will definitely return.”

Zhou Guizhi was quite upset, but she knew Jiang Xingye too well. If Young Xu didn’t return, would Xiaowu wait for her his whole life?

“Xiaowu, your uncle has asked around that Young Xu may not return. The person she’s treating this time is heard to be quite remarkable, if she cures him, she can surely stay in the city.”

“No way!” Jiang Xingye clutched the door frame, veins popping out on his hand.

Outside, Qiao Xinyu and Yu Xiaomin arrived and called out, “Comrade Jiang, you’re here!”

Qiao Xinyu stepped forward and handed a note to Jiang Xingye, “This is what Huanhuan left behind. Take a look too!”

After all, Jiang Xingye’s name was there.

These were Huanhuan’s words, and Jiang Xingye felt a sharp pain in his chest when he saw “return date uncertain,” trembling all over.

He stuffed the note away and dashed outside.

Jiang Baohua hurriedly followed, “Xiaowu, where are you going?”

“I’m going to find her!” Jiang Xingye said firmly looking towards outside the village.

Jiang Baohua felt a surge of anger, “Where will you find her? Do you know where she’s gone? She might have left for a long time, where can you find her?”

“I know the one waiting for surgery is at the Army General Hospital in Yan City. I’m going there to find her.” Jiang Xingye’s voice trembled, his eyes red-rimmed, lips tightly pressed conveying stubbornness. No one could stop him from finding her.

Jiang Baohua knew it was useless to persuade him and reluctantly agreed, “I’ll give you a referral letter!”

Jiang Xingye traveled overnight to the county hospital. Deng Aiguo, who had worked overtime, was just about to leave when Jiang Xingye blocked the door, “Where did Young Xu go?”

He appeared fierce and menacing.

Deng Aiguo was a bit speechless but seeing his demeanor, that he might take lives if irritated, he said, “You probably won’t make it now. They’re taking off on a special plane tomorrow morning; even if you make it, you won’t see her.”

“Where is it taking off from?” Jiang Xingye asked.

“Anguang City Airport!” Deng Aiguo didn’t hide this information. Even if he told him, could Jiang Xingye actually find his way there?

Watching Jiang Xingye leave, Deng Aiguo shook his head, not optimistic about their relationship. The disparity between the two was too vast. He even believed that Young Xu might not want to see Jiang Xingye come to her.

One is in the sky, and one is underground. Now, with the chance to return to the city, ending it might be beneficial.

At dawn, as the sky brightened, Xu Qinghuan was about to board the plane when familiar shouts filled her ears, mixed with anxiety, anger, unwillingness, and reluctance. She turned around, looking everywhere, but didn’t see Jiang Xingye’s figure.

Perhaps it was an illusion, and she regretted not meeting with Jiang Xingye before leaving.

Feeling uneasy, but Huo Chi and others urged her to board the plane, Xu Qinghuan shook her head; she must have been missing that person too much, leading to auditory hallucinations.

She held the rail and stepped up the gangway one step at a time.
