After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 315, Episode 0340: The Bai and Chen Families
"Bao Ping intentionally approached the Bai family."

Xu Shan glanced at Old Chen, his gaze... well, it was a mixture of sympathy and something else entirely.

Old Chen: "..."

Why do you see him that way?
What do you mean?
"Dr. Bai's name is Bai Chongjing."

"Who?"

Old Chen stood up in surprise, "Bai Chongjing?"

"Yes."

Old Zheng looked completely bewildered. "Who is Bai Chongjing?"

This time, Old Chen turned to explain to him, "You may not be familiar with Bai Chongjing, but you are familiar with the name Bai Yanghua, right? Bai Chongjing is Bai Yanghua's only son."

"Sigh~"

Old Zheng gasped, "So, Bai Sanni is Old Bai's granddaughter?"

The Bai family is also a family of doctors. Like the Chen family, their ancestors produced imperial physicians. However, the Chen family was more skilled in internal medicine, while the Bai family was more skilled in surgery.

If we truly consider their contributions to the country and its people, the Chen family is far inferior to the Bai family.

Grandpa Bai Yanghua followed the army around during the War of Resistance Against Japan, saving countless soldiers. The old man Zheng in front of us was once helped by Grandpa Bai to set bones and remove bullets.

Therefore, there are few generals in the army who do not know the name Bai Yanghua.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Bai left without saying goodbye, taking his wife and children with him.

Everyone knows that he has gone to 'retire to the mountains and forests'. Bai Lao has said more than once that he likes the life of a hermit. After the war ends, he will find a beautiful place, a house, a piece of land, and work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

"You're saying Bao Ping approached the Bai family in a planned way, and that someone made him do it?" Old Zheng's eyes widened with anger.

Lin Yuexi had reason to believe that if Bao Ping were in front of him right now, he would definitely let Bao Ping experience what it means to be strong and vigorous even in old age.

"Bao Ping said: The night after he and Yang Wenjie agreed to take his place in the rural area, a woman who looked very important approached him and offered him two thousand yuan to get close to the Bao family, gain Bao Chongjing's trust, and help her get something from Bai Chongjing."

"At the time, the woman did not tell Bao Ping what to take, but only said that someone would tell him when the time was right."

Bao Ping didn't care; he had long since abandoned the concept of principles, as long as he could get money.

Bao Ping guessed that Shiligou would definitely not let the newly arrived educated youth get into trouble. Shiligou only had Bai Chongjing as a doctor. If he fell seriously ill as soon as he arrived in the countryside, the team would definitely ask Bai Chongjing to treat him.

“He brought nothing with him, and half-truthfully claimed to be Yang Wenjie to gain Bai Chongjing’s sympathy, and then approached the Bai family under the guise of repaying a debt of gratitude.”

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a beard, Old Zheng would be glaring and berating him, "What, are we supposed to praise him for being smart?"

Old Chen patted his calf that was hanging outside, "Why are you still so irritable? Don't talk, listen carefully."

Old Zheng glared at him, but then quieted down.

Xu Shan continued unaffected: "Bao Ping said that Bai Chongjing is very guarded. Although he seems to treat him very well, he has not revealed any of the secrets of the Bai family. Even after he married Bai Sanni, he could not find out anything from Bai Sanni, because Bai Chongjing did not even tell Bai Sanni."

"Later, Bai Chongjing passed away suddenly. He was seriously injured and carried back home. By the time he got home, he was on the verge of death. He only gave his last words to Bai Erbao's father, Bai Jianping, before passing away." "After Bai Chongjing's death, the woman who had not been in contact with him for a long time reappeared and asked Bao Ping to find a medical book passed down from Bai's ancestors among Bai Chongjing's belongings. Unfortunately, after Bai Chongjing's death, Bai Jianping had put his things away, and they were not in Bai Sanni's possession."

"That was right when the educated youth started returning to the city. Bai Erbao said: Bai Jianping was afraid that if Bao Ping got his hands on Bai Chongjing's belongings, he would also abandon his wife and children like some other educated youth. Not only would Bai Sanni and her two children not be able to survive, but he would also have failed Bai Chongjing's trust. So even when Bai Sanni was encouraged by Bao Ping to ask him for them, Bai Jianping gritted his teeth and refused to give them to her, despite the criticism."

They never expected Bao Ping to be such a shrewd person. He didn't act like he didn't want to go back to the city; rather, he wanted to go back, but he couldn't take his wife and children with him, so he had no choice but to stay.

If he hadn't shown any reluctance to return to the city, Bai Jianping wouldn't have believed him. What city kid wouldn't want to go back to the city? Even if life in the city is tough, it's still better than toiling in the fields in the countryside.

With his superb acting skills, Bao Ping fooled 90% of the villagers, including Bai Jianping.

A few days ago, when Bai Sanni was about to marry off her father's inheritance again, Bai Jianping, not wanting to be caught in the middle any longer, returned everything to Bai Sanni.

He meant well, and he had a mouth, so he spoke clearly, but he was repeatedly confronted and accused of wanting to lose her father's child. Why did he have to do such a shameful thing?

At this moment, Xu Shan glanced at Old Chen with an indescribable look in his eyes.

Old Chen felt a chill run down his spine and snapped, "Spit it out! Are you even a man?"

Xu Shan: "...Is your heart still okay, old man?"

"I've never had a heart condition." The words were delivered quickly, but a chill was already creeping down my spine.

Xu Shan had protected him before and knew him well. Although his personality had changed somewhat after following Xi Yatou, becoming much more lively than before when he was always gloomy, he was still the kind of person who wouldn't speak without reason.

The fact that they specifically asked him about his heart condition indicates what?
This suggests that the Bai family's affairs are very likely related to him, but he doesn't remember having any connection with the Bai family. This implies that the Bai family's affairs are related to other members of the Chen family.

The first person Mr. Chen thought of was Chen Yan.

Sure enough, "Bao Ping is a shrewd person. He has already found out who the person who let him get close to Bai Chongjing was. It has something to do with you, Elder Chen. It is Chen Yan's wife, Yang Surong."

After a pause, seeing that Old Chen's expression was still relatively calm, Xu Shan dropped another bombshell: "Chen Yan and his wife obtained prescriptions and medical books from many families through illegitimate means."

Old Chen remained calm and composed, uttering a few words in a leisurely tone: "I have long since severed ties with them."

Everyone who heard it understood; it meant not to give him face.

Xu Shan gave Xiao Ye a look at the door. Xiao Ye received the signal, nodded slightly, opened the carriage door, and quickly left.

Old Chen noticed Xiao Ye's departure and roughly guessed what he was going to do, but he didn't stop him. Instead, he asked Xu Shan as if he hadn't noticed anything:
"How is Bai Chongjing's daughter doing now? From what Xi Yatou described earlier, it seems she's not doing well."

Old Zheng chimed in, "That's what Xi Yatou called being love-struck. Bao Ping is five years older than her, but she managed to make herself look older than him. Most people wouldn't be that stupid."

If this were his daughter, he would put her back into her mother's womb and give birth again.

Old Chen turned around and rummaged through his bag, took out two hundred yuan and handed it to Xu Shan, "It's inconvenient for me to show up, please give this to her for me, don't tell her who I am, just say that I am her father's classmate."

Old Zheng also took out two hundred and handed it over, saying, "Please pass this on to her as well, and tell her that she is her grandfather's comrade-in-arms."

Xu Shan looked at Lin Yuexi for instructions, and only after Lin Yuexi nodded did he take the money from the two of them and put it in his pocket.

"Please rest assured, Elder Chen and Elder Zheng, I will personally hand it over to Bai Sanni."
