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

Chapter 4, Episode 0004: Turns into a Boomerang

Ren Yan was certain that Lin Yuexi's coma was related to Wang Yue. The pills that the old man sent had already had a significant effect on Yuexi after just one pill. Just as she had just answered, Lin Yuexi used to have trouble sleeping at night for various reasons. She would feel unwell or have chest tightness and shortness of breath, and would wake up several times a night.

After taking the pills, she only woke up coughing once last night for the past three days.

Based on this alone, Ren Yan can confirm that Lin Yuexi's health is improving.

So Ren Yan was caught off guard by Lin Yuexi's sudden coma in the morning. She was completely unprepared and only cared about rushing her to the hospital.

After Lin Yuexi was transferred from the emergency room to the ward, she stayed by her bedside and calmed down before thinking back. Little Xixi's condition was clearly improving, so how did it suddenly become more serious again? It took more than a dozen doctors more than an hour to save her.

Wang Yue was in the room when Xiao Xixi fainted. Without a doubt, Wang Yue must have said or done something to upset Xiao Xixi.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence. At the time, only Xiao Xixi and Wang Yue were in the room. Even if Xiao Xixi said that Wang Yue had angered her, there was nothing they could do if Wang Yue refused to admit it. After all, it was common knowledge that Xiao Xixi was physically weak and that she often fainted, which was taken for granted by many people.

Secondly, the Wang family is currently at the height of its power, while the Leng family should keep a low profile. Even if there is solid evidence, they should temporarily avoid confrontation. Without solid evidence, rashly confronting the Wang family would only bring disadvantages to any member of the Leng family.

Not to mention her and Xiao Xixi, those two little gossips.

They can only endure it now.

Ren Yan carried her to the bed and laid her down, treating her like a baby. Lin Yuexi's expression was complicated, but she was helpless because she was now like a cripple, with no ability to resist.

She did feel a little dizzy, and after lying down for a while, she fell into a deep sleep.

I didn't sleep for very long. When I woke up, it was right when everyone was getting off work, and Uncle Wei came over carrying a sack of things.

“My dear, you’re too soft-hearted. I don’t believe that girl from the Wang family, Yue, would dare to talk nonsense to you on the first date. If you hadn’t given her the signal, how could she have dared to say such an obvious scheme in front of you, the person directly involved?”

Although the old leader has retired, his influence remains. As long as Guaibao stands up for herself, and as long as the old leader is still around, even Old Man Wang in the Wang family will have to treat her with utmost respect. Who would dare to try to arrange a marriage with her in private?

Moreover, she is also...
After a pause, realizing that his tone had been too harsh and might have frightened Xiaoxi, Uncle Wei, sitting upright and burly, made a sound like he was being clamped.

"The leader and his wife went to the Northwest. The Northwest is a place with strong winds and lots of yellow sand. It will only harm your health and will not do you any good. Your Grandpa Chen was sent down to the Red Star Brigade. Your Uncle Chen is with Grandpa Chen. Your Uncle Chen is very good at traditional Chinese medicine."

The old leader isn't trying to separate you from your parents; this arrangement is simply the best for you.

“The Red Star Brigade is only about a two-hour drive from your second brother’s post. Your second brother will visit you whether he is resting or on vacation, which will provide an extra layer of protection.”

"The leader and his wife cannot move around freely in the short term, but your Uncle Fang and I will take you there. The old leader has already changed his ticket to a sleeper berth, and your Uncle Liu will also go with him when he departs."

Uncle Fang and Uncle Wei were both the old man's bodyguards.

And Uncle Liu...
Lin Yuexi frowned slightly, "If Uncle Liu goes with them, what about Grandpa and the others?"

Liu Huai is a doctor who almost got demoted because he had been abroad. It was only through the joint petition of several elders, including Grandpa Leng, that he was spared. Now, due to his immigration status, he doesn't have a proper job, but he continues to treat the health of several senior doctors.

A hint of sullenness flashed in Uncle Wei's eyes, along with a touch of schadenfreude, which was also evident in his tone of voice: "Your Uncle Liu was reported for practicing medicine without a license again and almost got demoted."

Liu Huai is skilled in traditional Chinese medicine, but he has never taken the medical licensing exam.

In his own words, our country's medical skills are our own, why do we need foreigners to prove whether we are capable or not?
The old man and the others could protect him once, and they could protect him a second time. But Liu Huai didn't want to be reported endlessly. He happened to hear that Lin Yuexi was going to the countryside, so he volunteered to be Lin Yuexi's doctor on her way to the countryside. He also wanted to go to the Red Star Brigade for some peace and quiet.

The old man was worried about Lin Yuexi's safety on her way to the countryside. Although he had managed to get some pills, he naturally wanted as many as possible to ensure her safety. He and Liu Huai hit it off immediately, and without even consulting Leng Zhi's father, the old man had already booked everyone's tickets.

The two worlds have different histories and national conditions. Although Lin Yuexi has the original owner's memories, she has never seen it with her own eyes and does not quite understand the current situation. She obediently nodded.

Grandpa and Dad would never harm her; she should just follow their arrangements.

The little girl looked at him with innocent, bright black eyes, as if he were the only person in the world.

At that moment, as a father, I felt like I wanted to give her my whole heart.

Uncle Wei is feeling that way right now.

But the thought of Xiaoxi leaving his side soon, and that he might not be able to protect her personally anymore, made his heart feel like it was being gripped by iron claws, and he had an impulse to destroy the world.

Uncle Wei tightened his grip, suppressing the violence in his heart, and said in that high-pitched voice, "The old chief and the chief are not by your side, and your third brother is unreliable. Remember to be more careful in the future, don't trust people easily, and refuse when you should. The old chief and the chief are here for you."

Wait, what does the third brother look like again?

If he hadn't talked to Xiaoxi about the third child, he would have forgotten that the chief's family had a third child.

Such a shameful thing could not be admitted, so the topic was left aside.

"Although rural people are generally honest and simple, there are still bad people among them. As the saying goes, one should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others."

Uncle Wei was extremely worried. He hadn't realized before that Xiao Xi's soft-hearted nature wasn't good. He always thought that with the old chief and the chief around, how could they not protect a granddaughter/daughter?!
Who knew that life is unpredictable? Even the mighty Leng family, which was once a pillar of strength, suddenly met with misfortune.

The innocence that everyone once protected could very well become a boomerang that pierces Xiaoxi herself.

Having survived the apocalypse for over a decade, Lin Yuexi was adept at reading people's expressions. She noticed Uncle Wei's worry and regret, and gently placed her slender, white hand on Uncle Wei's large fist, which was missing two fingers, which was resting on his knee.

“Uncle Wei, I understand. Don’t forget, I grew up in this compound. I don’t usually say anything because my parents are here, but I understand many things in my heart.”
