Chapter 153 What are you feeling guilty about?
The next morning, Xia Zhi rubbed her sleepy eyes. Lu Beiting, who was beside her, had already gotten up and was tidying his clothes.

Xia Zhi stretched lazily, recalled today's itinerary, and quickly got up to wash up, preparing to take Lu Beiting to the Qin family.

The Qin family mansion was quiet and solemn.

Qin Wang was waiting in the living room early on, glancing at the door every now and then, his eyes full of anxiety and anticipation.

Hearing footsteps at the door, he immediately stood up from the sofa and walked quickly outside.

"Xia's here! Come in and have a seat." Qin Wang greeted her warmly with a big smile.

Xia Zhi walked into the living room and immediately saw an elderly man sitting on the sofa.

The old man looked haggard, with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He sat quietly on the sofa, his head tilted slightly to the left, occasionally swaying uncontrollably.

His hands hung loosely at his sides, but his fingers were spasmodically curled up and occasionally trembled irregularly, his knuckles turning white from excessive force.

His legs were also in an abnormal posture, with his knees bent inward and his feet rubbing against each other unconsciously. Even with the support of the sofa, he could not maintain a stable sitting posture.

When he tried to move his body, his movements were extremely slow.

Judging from his expression, his eyes often showed confusion and helplessness, and he seemed somewhat slow to react to everything around him.

His lips drooped slightly, and saliva uncontrollably flowed from one corner of his mouth, but he was completely unaware of it, letting the saliva slide down his chin and soak his shirt.

The caregiver next to him quickly stepped forward to help wipe away the drool.

"This is my second brother. He was born with this disease. Over the years, I have traveled around and consulted many well-known doctors, but none of them could cure this disease."

"Xia, your medical skills are superb. Do you see if there's any way you can help him?" Qin Wang's voice carried a hint of helplessness and pleading.

"Okay," Xia Zhi replied softly, a gentle smile on her face.

She slowly walked to the old man's side, gently sat down, tenderly took his trembling hand, carefully placed it on his wrist, and began to carefully take his pulse.

With focused and attentive eyes, she didn't miss a single detail. Then she carefully examined the old man's ears, nose, and throat, making every movement very gentle.

After a thorough examination, Xia Zhi looked up at Qin Wang, her expression slightly grave, and said:

"Uncle Qin, with the current level of medical technology, cerebral palsy cannot be completely cured. We can only use some treatment methods to further improve his condition."

Her voice carried a hint of regret, knowing that even decades later, this disease would still be difficult to cure.

Qin Wang's eyes instantly reddened. He forced back his tears and nodded vigorously: "Okay, whatever you say, Xia. As long as it makes him feel better, anything is fine."

Xia Zhi carefully reviewed the medical records carried by the caregiver next to Uncle Qin.

After reading it, she took out the medicinal herbs she had redeemed with points and carefully prepared them.

In no time, several packets of medicine were prepared. She carefully wrapped them in paper and handed them to Qin Wang.

"Uncle Qin, you must remind Uncle Qin Er to take his medicine on time and do regular rehabilitation training. If you persevere, there will definitely be improvement."

"Don't wait until you've finished the medicine to tell me. Tell me in advance so I can send you more," Xia Zhi patiently instructed.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much, Xia." Qin Wang was extremely grateful, his hands trembling as he accepted the medicine packet, and then instructed someone to prepare the consultation fee.

Taking advantage of this break, Xia Zhi went to the side and taught the caregiver who was looking after Uncle Qin a series of professional rehabilitation techniques.

"Xia, thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done without you." Qin Wang saw the two to the door, his eyes full of gratitude.

After leaving the Qin family and returning to their residence, Xia Zhi began to ponder when to return to the border post. They had been away for quite some time, and the border post still had many important tasks awaiting them.

"Lu Beiting, when are we going back?" Xia Zhi asked earnestly as she sat down next to Lu Beiting.

Lu Beiting sat beside her, looking at her tenderly, and said softly, "You can go back whenever you want, I'll be with you."

Xia Zhi stroked her chin, her eyes suddenly lighting up. She leaned closer to Lu Beiting with a curious look on her face and asked, "Do you have other plans? I have a feeling things aren't that simple."

"Yes, the leader this time is called Jiang Wencheng, an extremely cunning drug lord."

Now that this scheme has been exposed, he certainly won't be satisfied and will likely ambush us on our way back.

As Lu Beiting spoke, he took Xia Zhi's hand, wondering if he should pull off another switcheroo to ensure her safety.

After listening, Xia Zhi stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then nodded: "I'll listen to you."

"Okay, if you're tired, go to sleep for a while. I'll go see how things went today." Lu Beiting gently patted her head, his eyes full of affection, then stood up and walked towards the door.

After Lu Beiting left, Xia Zhi lay on the bed, knowing without a doubt what he had gone to do.

They've gone to deal with the people.

Bored, she yawned, climbed into bed, and then went to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic and a few other unlocking departments for a stroll.

……

Meanwhile, at the detention center.

As soon as Lu Beiting reached the door, he heard a noisy commotion coming from inside.

"Let us out!"

"Let us out!"

The voices rose and fell, filled with impatience and anger.

"Stay put for seven days!" The guard pounded on the iron gate impatiently and shouted, "If it weren't for you few causing trouble, those drug lords would have been caught long ago. Now you still have the nerve to yell?"

"If you had any other identity, I'd beat you to death!" The guard cursed and sat down to the side, his face full of disgust.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yun Shen felt a pang of guilt and immediately dared not speak again.

He turned and met Qiao Sheng's gaze; their eyes locked.

Then, Qiao Sheng nodded slightly, and the two quietly walked to a corner and sat down.

They knew in their hearts that if what they had been doing during this period were discovered, they would be truly finished.

They're currently in someone else's custody; if they accidentally reveal something they shouldn't, it could solidify their charges.

Lu Beiting walked in, his cold gaze sweeping over the two huddled in the corner, a slight sneer appearing on his lips.

"Gu Yunshen, what exactly are you doing in the city? You'd better tell us the truth." Lu Beiting's voice was deep and authoritative.

"Of course, I've never been before, can't I come and take a look?" Although Gu Yun Shen was scared, he still gritted his teeth and stuck out his neck to retort.

Lu Beiting raised an eyebrow and paced back and forth between the two, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, staring intently at them.

"Then... what are you feeling guilty about?"
