Yue Qingci should never appear in this kind of hospital.

People in the military region always go to military hospitals for medical treatment, and the confidentiality regulations of the military region did not allow them to go to ordinary hospitals.

China’s military region management was very strict. The information of all officers with a certain military rank was kept confidential. The higher the military rank, the higher the confidentiality level.

Taking the military rank of colonel as an example, generally, the military uniforms of soldiers with the rank of colonel were still in service. Photos couldn’t be leaked out. The country had specialized network agencies to review them, and the use of electronic equipment in military areas was also strictly monitored.

Therefore, under this kind of management system, people like Yue Qingci should never appear in such a hospital where ordinary people were unaware.

Furthermore, Yue Qingci’s body clearly bore obvious injuries.

Now was a time of peace. Yue Qingci was a major officer still in the military area. If there was no special mission, it was impossible to be injured. There was a possibility of being injured during training in the military area, but it was absolutely impossible to be serious to that point.

Just now, Yue Qingci didn’t see Jiang Xiaochuan; his dressing movements were obviously a little slow, and the gauze was too thick. Blood could still show through the gauze of that thickness, indicating that the injury on his back must be serious.

Yue Qingci was injured, but he didn’t seek medical treatment in a military hospital. He came to an ordinary hospital and was secretive about it. This was really abnormal.

If he sought medical treatment in a military hospital, Yue Qingci’s injuries would definitely be exposed. Therefore, Yue Qingci’s purpose of coming here for medical treatment was actually just to avoid his injuries being discovered.

This conclusion made Jiang Xiaochuan frowning.

Yue Qingci said, “What a coincidence,” and he felt the same way.

“What a coincidence, Major Yue.”

“Don’t call me Major outside. If Mayor Jiang doesn’t mind, you might as well call me Yue Qing.”

His surname was Yue, but he preferred the two words ‘Yue Qing’. The word ‘Qingci’ seemed too foreign to others, but calling his full name ‘Yue Qingci’ felt too blunt. So, when her relationship with people was in a transitional period, Yue Qingci liked to have others called him ‘Yue Qing’ neither too warm nor too stiff—a very suitable title.

Jiang Xiaochuan had known this habit for a long time, so when he heard Yue Qingci say this, he thought it was normal and acted very calmly. What he was thinking of was actually very far away, such as the reason why Yue Qingci made such a request at this moment.

‘Major Yue’ would reveal his identity, which Yue Qingci didn’t want to see, so ‘Yue Qing’ was enough.

Jiang Xiaochuan was surprised by his inhumane and calm analysis and felt a little sad at the same time.

Although even he didn’t know where this hint of sadness came from.

Yue Qingci stood on the side of the corridor, the smile on his face never diminishing. “Why, looking at Mayor Jiang’s expression, could it be that he looks down on Yue Qing, a person with a low military rank, so he doesn’t even want to call me by my name?”

“That’s not true; I just feel that your future is limitless. By calling you like this, I will take advantage in the future,” Jiang Xiaochuan said something formal, with a very official smile, leaning towards a formulaic response.

There seemed to be something hidden in Yue Qingci’s eyes. He put his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker, and his smile finally faded a bit after seeing Jiang Xiaochuan’s cold reaction.

“It seems that Mayor Jiang dislikes Yue Qing very much.”

This was the truth.

Jiang Xiaochuan could think that way, but couldn’t say that. He just raised his wrist and looked at the time as if unintentionally, estimating when Xue Yan would arrive, and then said, “Yue Qing, you are thinking too much.”

Yue Qingci found that this man was different.

The movements of his hands obviously meant he was impatient. He was waiting for someone else. He seemed to have something important to do.

He wanted to leave now, but he forced himself to endure it and stood here talking to him. Jiang Xiaochuan was also very scheming; he obviously had to stay here and could hide his inner feelings well, but he deliberately showed his impatience in trivial actions.

For a moment, Yue Qingci couldn’t understand what kind of person Jiang Xiaochuan was.

Facing such an unpredictable Jiang Xiaochuan, he could only take a step back. “Mayor Jiang calls me this because he thinks highly of me. Yue Qing could only say, if you have any trouble, you can come to me.”

At this time, if Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t know his identity, his words were equivalent to a hint and a gesture of goodwill.

It was a pity that Jiang Xiaochuan in this life was different from the previous one.

He just nodded, as if he didn’t hear the underlying meaning, and said, “It seems that you have something to do, so we can talk another day.”

“Then, see you next time,” Yue Qingci said goodbye knowingly.

But it was Jiang Xiaochuan who left first. He nodded to Yue Qingci, “See you next time.”

After that, he turned around and left.

Yue Qingci stood behind him and looked at his straight back, with a sense of confusion in his eyes. At that moment, Jiang Xiaochuan’s shadow, who turned around and left without delay, seemed to be burned into his eyes, making his whole heart ache.

He reached out and pressed his heart hard as if he couldn’t breathe until he watched Jiang Xiaochuan’s shadow disappear around the corner.

Was this how fate plays tricks on him again and again?

Yue Qingci gave a wry smile, and then put on all the disguises. When he turned around, he was Yue Qingci, the proud son of Yue family.

.

Xue Yan was standing at the door and happened to see Yue Qingci turned around.

He had been standing for a while at the door asking about Uncle Qiu’s the operating room. He didn’t know Yue Qingci, but he knew Jiang Xiaochuan.

The person at the registration office told him Uncle Qiu’s location, and he left anxiously, passing Yue Qingci.

Yue Qingci paused for a moment, then turned to look at him.

Xue Yan didn’t know why he stopped and looked at Yue Qingci for a moment.

He was in a hurry to see Uncle Qiu, so he didn’t notice the flash of sharpness in Yue Qingci’s eyes.

It was cold murderous intent.

Yue Qingci gathered up his off-white windbreaker and slowly walked out of the hospital, looking at the snow-blue sky, so beautiful.

In the hospital behind him, joys and sorrows were happening all the time, but unfortunately, they had little to do with him.

When Xue Yan arrived, Jiang Xiaochuan had just entered the operating room not long ago and understood the situation.

Seeing Xue Yan coming, he quickly asked him to look this way.

Xue Yan’s face was expressionless. He knew that this incident was just an emergency. Jiang Xiaochuan was on the phone when he told him about it. He could guess the situation there based on the content on the phone.

However, “What happened to Uncle Qiu?”

The nurse over there was the one who was stopped by Jiang Xiaochuan to ask about the matter. She knew some of the situation, but not completely.

Hearing Xue Yan’s question, she replied: “The emergency team that sent him said he was hit by a car while crossing the road. You can’t ask me about the specific situation. I’m just a staff member of the hospital. Which of you is a family member? Please come over and sign and pay.”

‘Are you still talking about money at this time?!’

The veins on Xue Yan’s forehead jumped. He took a step forward and was about to say something. He didn’t know what to say to this nurse!

Seeing that Xue Yan hadn’t calmed down yet, Jiang Xiaochuan quickly grabbed him and shouted loudly: “Calm down, don’t make trouble! Have you forgotten your identity?!”

He said this very loudly, and the echo in the entire corridor was so loud that it was a bit frightening to hear it.

At that moment, Jiang Xiaochuan had no smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and there was a layer of frost in his eyes. His expression was particularly cold, as if it was the ice and snow on the top of the mountain that had not melted for thousands of years.

In an instant, Xue Yan’s anxiety and anger all calmed down.

At that moment, Xue Yan realized that the Jiang Xiaochuan he knew before wasn’t the real personality of the man. Those were all masks and disguises worn by people on the outside. The real Jiang Xiaochuan was not as gentle as he appears.

Jiang Xiaochuan could also have the majesty and momentum of a superior person in every move.

His words not only made Xue Yan suddenly clear-headed but also frightened the nurse.

Only then did she realize that the identities of the two people in front of her might not be as simple as she thought.

Jiang Xiaochuan glanced at it and handed his wallet to Xue Yan: “You are here in a hurry. You may not have enough money. Go and settle the money first. I will watch here. I will call to ask about the situation in a while. Come back. I’ll tell you again.”

Xue Yan’s mind was a little confused now. He pressed his forehead and closed his eyes before taking Jiang Xiaochuan’s wallet and following the nurse.

Jiang Xiaochuan had never seen Xue Yan lose his sense of control before.

He looked at the operating room in front of him, breathed a long sigh of relief, and calmed down all the turbulent emotions in his chest.

He picked up the phone and dialed. The person who answered the phone was Wei Lai.

“Mayor Jiang? What’s going on?”

“Transfer the call to Lu Xiu.”

Wei Lai was stunned, not knowing what happened, but listening to Jiang Xiaochuan’s short and powerful way of speaking, he knew that something must have happened. It was a big deal, so he flipped through the phone book and connected the call directly there.

“Okay, Mayor Jiang.”

Jiang Xiaochuan said “hmm” to indicate that he understood. At this time, the call over there had been transferred.

Before Lu Xiu could ask what was going on, Jiang Xiaochuan immediately asked: “Uncle Qiu, the father of the deceased in the Rong Family’s Club case, was hit by a car. Do you have any news over there?”

Lu Xiu’s side was obviously surprised, “Why? How could it be such a coincidence?”

Jiang Xiaochuan felt cold in his heart when he heard Lu Xiu’s reaction.

He continued to ask: “You don’t know the reason for this? Have you received any news beforehand?”

“No. Mayor Jiang, I asked the people below to check it out, but I really haven’t heard of the Rong family recently. If there is any abnormality, maybe it is just an accident.” Lu Xiu assured Jiang Xiaochuan.

Jiang Xiaochuan knew that it was difficult to get any news from Lu Xiu. He hung up the phone and then said to Wei Lai, who was still waiting on the line: “I asked you to collect the documents about Rong Family Club’s case. You go to the transportation bureau and prepare a copy of the information for me and give it to Lu Xiu too. It will be related to the investigation. The key points will be sorted out for me later.”

Wei Lai over there probably knew that the matter was serious and answered without hesitation. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it right away.”

Jiang Xiaochuan then hung up the phone.

Xue Yan hadn’t returned yet, so Jiang Xiaochuan paced a few times in front of the operating room, frowning.

He remembered what Qu Zhendong, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, said: The water in Rong Family Club’s case was too deep.

What happened to Uncle Qiu was definitely not an accident.
