Chapter 106

Upon hearing this, Qian Haiye felt a mix of fear and urgency, but he didn’t dare to say anything more. He awkwardly smiled and hastily left the hospital room.
Su Hongchen furrowed his brows and turned to Niu Chengchun beside him. “Investigate this Qian Haiye; there must be something wrong with him.”
Niu Chengchun nodded hurriedly and followed him outside. However, after several days of investigation, they found nothing. They also couldn’t locate the woman who had been tracking Su Xiaoxiao on the train. It was evident that she had left Dai City City five days ago, leaving everyone tense and silent.
However, Su Xiaoxiao wasn’t affected by these events. Instead, she was feeling happy because her brother had informed their parents, and her family had become more attentive to their situation. The only downside was that their injuries were worsening each day and had reached a stage where they needed pus drainage. It was painful, and they had to endure it daily.
When Jiang Yexun returned with a pile of medication, Su Xiaoxiao had just finished the day’s pus drainage. He entered the room and saw the face of his little educated youth as pale as paper.
“Little educated youth,” Jiang Yexun quickly walked over to her, put the medication on the cabinet, and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
The young girl, who had initially appeared strong, instantly collapsed when she saw the one she had been longing for.
“I’m back. I’ve bought all the medications you mentioned. Once you take them, you’ll get better,” Jiang Yexun comforted her as he felt helpless.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded obediently and put her hand on his palm, rubbing it secretly. Then, she bit her lip and withdrew her hand. Her brother and his superiors were still in the room. She couldn’t allow them to notice anything unusual.
Seeing that they had separated, the few leaders asked with shock, “You’ve also bought two fifty-year-old ganoderma lucidum?”
Jiang Yexun nodded. He called Big Gao as soon as he left the hospital and asked him to find centennial wild ginseng and fifty-year-old ganoderma lucidum. Big Gao, upon hearing that Jiang Yexun needed them to save his wife, used all his connections to acquire the ingredients. He even sold the centennial wild ginseng he had kept for the future, just to help Jiang Yexun.
“How much did this cost in total?” the head leader inquired anxiously.
“Two wild ginseng roots cost 12,000, two fifty-year-old ganoderma lucidum cost 7,000, and the other miscellaneous medicines cost about 7,800. In total, it’s 21,800 yuan,” Jiang Yexun briefly calculated for them and handed over a piece of paper detailing the prices of each medicine.
The head leader nodded and sighed, “This is indeed very cheap. I’ve been trying to get fifty-year-old ganoderma lucidum these past few days, and they wouldn’t sell for anything less than 5,000 each.”
“Now, can we start brewing the medicine?” Jiang Yexun asked anxiously.

But the head leader shook his head. “We still need to invite in some experts to confirm the quality of these medicines.”
Although Jiang Yexun was eager, he understood that this was a necessary step. He nodded and took a chair to sit beside his beloved educated youth. He was dirty and somewhat disheveled, and Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help feeling pity for him.
She whispered, “Brother Yexun, did you get caught in the rain on your way back? Look at your clothes, all wrinkled and sticking together. You should wash up and change your clothes quickly.”
Jiang Yexun realized he didn’t look his best at the moment and promptly stood up. “Alright, I’ll go wash up.”
Su Xiaoxiao, however, held his hand when he stood up and asked with concern, “Where are you going, Yexun?”
“I’m going to get some hot water to clean up,” Jiang Yexun explained. These days, he had been rushing around and didn’t have time to shower or change his clothes, making him a bit disheveled.
Su Xiaoxiao suppressed her reluctance and let go of his hand. Jiang Yexun picked up the two thermos bottles from the bedside table, only to be stopped by a doctor.
“I’m willing to buy your wild ginseng for 11,000 yuan each. This way, you can earn 4,000 yuan for one and 8,000 for two. What do you say?” the doctor inquired.
“Get lost! Don’t push me too far,” Jiang Yexun threatened with a stern expression.
Infuriated, Qian Haiye felt that this rub in front of her didn’t know what’s good for him. However, he realized that no matter what, he had to obtain that centennial wild ginseng. So, he patiently continued persuading him.
“Look, you haven’t even married her yet, and you already have to spend so much on her brother. If you bring a woman like this home as your wife, she might end up taking from your family to support hers. In the city, you can marry a girl with just 500 yuan for the dowry, and it might cost you around 8,000 yuan for a wedding. Even if you marry 16 women, it’s still less than wasting all your money on Su Xiaoxiao, right?”
“Shut the fuck up!” Jiang Yexun exclaimed, furrowing his brows. He delivered a punch to Qian Haiye’s face.
Qian Haiye stumbled and fell to the ground, and Jiang Yexun immediately started kicking him, one blow after another. Eventually, several people rushed over to the commotion.
Terrified by Jiang Yexun’s brutal and fierce appearance, they were too scared to intervene. It was only after Qian Haiye was unable to bear the pain any longer and cried for help that a few men reluctantly stepped forward to pull Jiang Yexun away.
Both Jiang Yexun and Qian Haiye were then taken to Su Hongchen’s room.
The hospital director returned with some experts to confirm the quality of the medicines. Upon entering, he was shocked to see a severely swollen and unrecognizable Qian Haiye, as well as Jiang Yexun, whose face was filled with anger.
He demanded to know, “What happened to you?”
Qian Haiye immediately started crying, feeling both wronged and indignant. “Director, please ensure justice for me! He was trying to kill me!”
Seeing his colleague so distressed, the hospital director became angry as well. He sternly rebuked Jiang Yexun, “What are you doing? As soon as you return, you start attacking one of our doctors. And you hit him so hard!”
Jiang Yexun coldly hummed but didn’t say anything. The leader of the military stepped forward and glared at the hospital director before saying, “Comrade Jiang, tell us what happened earlier.”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes curiously, observing Jiang Yexun, whose face had darkened due to anger.

Jiang Yexun, with a cold and stern tone, recounted all the words spoken by Qian Haiye.
As everyone listened, their faces grew darker, and Su Hongchen even trembled with anger.
