Chapter 106: With a Female Companion

  The voice at the door was not loud, but it carried a hint of age and hoarseness. As soon as it fell, the entire ward quieted down, even the patient who had been humming and snoring on the bed with his trachea cut open held his breath and dared not breathe loudly.

  The sound fell, and an old man wearing a military coat appeared at the door of the ward. Behind the old man, there were two young and capable soldiers in uniform.

  The old man simply took a glance at the situation in the ward and understood the cause of things.

  "Have you had a falling out with him?" The old man slowly walked towards Qifei and asked in a low voice.

  The old man's face was very kind and his voice wasn't sharp at all, but at this moment, Qi Fei felt a tightening sensation in his neck.

  "I... we don't, I'm a doctor, of course I have to treat the patient..." Qi Fei wanted to continue speaking, no matter where he went, his reason would be acceptable, after all, Song Jian was indeed a patient, and a seriously injured one at that.

  "That's enough, I understand. Xiao Yang, take him away and lock him up first." The old man instructed lightly.

  Everyone present was stunned, but no one dared to speak out in opposition.

  An old man in military uniform saluted and said, "Yes, Commander." The young man then walked to Qi Fei's side and said, "Follow me."

  "No! Who are you? What right do you have to arrest people for no reason? Do you still follow the law? This is a hospital!" Qi Fei shouted loudly, backing away while taking out his phone, "I... I'm going to call the police, I'll get security to kick you out!"

  The young man in military uniform stretched out his hand and with a "slap" knocked the mobile phone out of Qi Fei's hand to the ground. Then he picked up Qi Fei, as if grabbing a sack, and carried him out of the ward while saying: "Your crime is endangering national security, don't worry, with your skills, you won't be much of a threat, at most you'll be detained for ten days or half a month."

  "Harm national security?" Zhi Fei had an urge to cry, when did he have such abilities?

  In the ward, the old man waved his hand and let others retreat. He turned around and ordered another person: "Go, call someone to prepare a car, and arrange a room at the Canglang Sanatorium."

  Another young man in military uniform turned and walked away.

  The old man smiled and looked at Song Jian, "Young man, we meet again. I heard from Master Yun Kong that you need to rest for a month, will you recover well afterwards?"

  This old man is Li Mengya's grandfather, Li Changjiang. A few months ago, Li Changjiang was poisoned by a toxin on his knee that caused his muscles to rot continuously and could not be cured. It was Song Jian who came up with the idea of using live maggots to treat the disease, which made Li Changjiang turn from danger to safety and escape death.

  After more than two months of treatment in the capital, Li Changjiang had fully recovered. He had just flown from the capital to Suzhou to spend New Year's Eve with his granddaughter when he heard about Song Jian's incident. Upon learning this news, Li Changjiang and Li Mengya rushed over immediately, coincidentally bumping into Qi Fei trying to deal with Song Jian at that moment.

  Song Jian smiled slightly at Li Changjiang and said, "Thanks to you, old man, for coming just in time. Otherwise, I would have been skinned by that doctor."

  Li Changjiang smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the Canglang Sanatorium. Oh, it's where I stayed last time. Everyone there is my person, don't worry, no one will dare to make things difficult for you."

  Song Jian nodded in thanks.

  Xu Si looked at Li Changjiang with a puzzled expression, then glanced at Li Mengya several times, somewhat unclear about the identities of these two people. However, from Li Changjiang's demeanor, Xu Si sensed an aura of superiority that was much stronger than his own grandfather's, and even surpassed that of some provincial officials in power.

  Li Mengya was also secretly sizing up Xu Si.

  Song Jian coughed and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Xu Si, my friend, boss, partner, and also my landlord. Xu Si, this gentleman is Li YeYe, a high-ranking official in the military department, and this lady is Li MengYa, a police officer from our city bureau, and my friend."

  Xu Si nodded in greeting at Li Mengya and Li Changjiang.

  Soon, the transfer procedure was completed, and four tall orderlies pushed a delicate little nursing cart into the ward.

  Xu Si followed beside Song Jian, she took a look and found that before this, the only one who had taken care of Song Jian was a fat monk.

  "Thank you, Master," Xu Si said with a bow towards Hao Jian.

  Hao Jian's face turned red, "No... no need to thank me, Master ordered it, no need to thank me... gulp!" Before he could finish speaking, Hao Jian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was really too nervous, too excited.

  Soon, Song Jian was transferred to Canglang Sanatorium.

  The sanatorium didn't look luxurious from the outside, but the rooms were spacious and comfortable. All daily necessities were well-prepared. Moreover, there were armed police guards inside the courtyard, which made Xu Si feel astonished.

  After settling Song Jian down, Li Changjiang and Li Mengya chatted with him for a while before leaving.

  Only Hao Jian, Xu Si and Song Jian were left in the ward.

  "Master, you can go back now, I will take care of Song Jian," Xu Si said to Hao Jian.

  Hao Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "I'll stay behind. If Song Jian has anything to do, you...you won't be able to support him."

  "Is there a nurse? Don't worry," said Xu Si.

  Hao Jian very much wanted to stay, but seeing Xu Si and Song Jian's expressions, he could only leave the ward, still thinking in his heart, wondering if he would go back like this, whether that old monk would not pass on the Bao Niu treasure to him.

  Paoniu Baodian, it would be great if I could pick up a chick like Xu Si! If not, even that big-breasted female cop would be okay if I could get my hands on her.

  Hao Jian walked back to the Yunyan Temple while daydreaming, but in reality, Hao Jian had no idea that a few years later, he would become a legend in the world of picking up girls.

  In the ward, Xu Si sat at Song Jian's bedside, with a worried face.

  "What's going on here?" Xǔ Sī asked.

  "It's nothing, just got a chill and need to rest for a month, don't worry, it's not serious. Oh, today is the 30th of the lunar year, you should go back too, your grandfather must be waiting for you to celebrate the reunion dinner. There are caregivers here, you don't have to worry about me." Song Jian said, his body and limbs couldn't move, every movement felt like a knife cut, fortunately, the tendons on his tongue were not damaged, otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to speak, that would be really miserable.

  Xu Si shook his head and said in a low voice: "You're like this, how can I go back? I won't leave you alone in this sanatorium."

  When Song Jian heard Xu Si's words, he felt warm in his heart. He looked at Xu Si and said, "Xu Si, thank you."

  Xu Si sat on the chair in front of the bed, with her arms resting on the bedside and supporting her head, staring at Song Jian with big eyes, "This is what I should do."

  Song Jian smiled slightly, "I'm very content, when I can walk on the ground, we'll get married."

  "Huh... what? What did you say?" Xu Si's face suddenly turned red, all the way to her ears, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into Song Jian's eyes.

  "After the New Year, we'll both be 24, shouldn't we be discussing these matters?" Song Jian said. In fact, in his previous life during the Song Dynasty, he had married Xiuer at the age of 18. Now that he was already 24, it was truly a late marriage."

  "Song Jian, this... isn't right, we... have to get Grandpa's agreement," Xu Si said softly, hanging her head.

  "Oh, right," Song Jian couldn't help but laugh at Xu Si's bashful appearance, "We have to deal with your grandfather first."

  "Uh-huh, I'll go get you some water." Xu Si lowered his head and handed a cup to Song Jian to pour water.

  Song Jian lay on the bed, watching Xu Si's busy figure, feeling a warmth in his heart. If he hadn't been injured this time, he wouldn't have realized how short life was. If he hadn't been injured this time, he also wouldn't have known Xu Si's true feelings.

  Twice escaped from death, standing by the bedside was always Xu Si. It wasn't until then that Song Jian had an impulse, an impulse to marry Xu Si.

  Before long, Xu Si's mobile phone rang.

  "Grandpa, I'm not coming back today... Something happened to Song Jian and I need to stay with him... Grandpa, Song Jian is injured, very seriously, he's lying in bed now, I really can't come back... He's at Canglang Sanatorium, it's a nice place, you don't have to come... Yeah, tell Grandma and Dad for me..."

  He hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief.

  On the other end of the phone, Xu Haitian slowly put down his mobile phone, and a hint of painful expression flashed in his eyes.

  Pang Jiu, who had been standing beside the sofa all along, coughed and said slowly: "Master, let it go, your daughter has grown up and will eventually get married."

  Xu Haitian shook his head and slumped onto the sofa, "I know, but Lao Jiu, what's so good about that Song Jian?"

  Pang Jiuchan chuckled and said, "Old Master, you're being too narrow-minded. That kid Song Jian, I think he's alright. No money is no big deal, as long as he's reliable and can hold his own at critical moments, that's enough. You still have some time left, old master, let's work hard for a few more years, and I think Song Jian might just be able to take over the Xu family group smoothly."

  Xu Haitian shook his head, and suddenly he looked stunned, saying: "Canglang Sanatorium? Old Jiu, how many Canglang Sanatoriums are there in Gusu City?"

  Pang Jiu thought for a moment and said: "There is only one way. How?"

  "Impossible! Xixi said Song Jian lives in Canglang Sanatorium, how could he possibly get in there?" Xu Haitian was shocked.

  Pang Jiu also nodded, "It seems that you have indeed underestimated the young master of the Song family. The Canglang Sanatorium is the first sanatorium in the Jiangnan Military Region, and it's not easy to get in. Even the mayor of our city may not be qualified. And, do you still remember Lin Bao?"

  "Lin Bao? The guy who killed Song Jian's parents, isn't he already dead?" Xu Haitian naturally knew Lin Bao.

  Pang Jiu snorted, narrowed his eyes and said: "These days I've been investigating this matter. Lin Bao's talent is extremely high, even if I were to take action, I could only barely win. Moreover, this person is meticulous in his thinking, with many people under his command. It's not easy to kill him. Hmph, but this person died mysteriously, and nine out of ten, the one who did it was Song Jian!

  Xu Haitian stared at Pang Jiu in surprise.

  "The last time the two tigers of Northeast assassinated Miss, it was also Song Jian who came to her rescue. Master, this son-in-law of yours is not simple!" Pang Jiu chuckled and said.

  Xu Haitian looked at Pang Jiu in surprise, after a while, his face began to show a few shades of deep thought...
