Chapter 171
Xia Zhi chuckled softly but didn't say anything.
Zhang Yi quickly calmed down, his expression remaining normal, clearly not taking the matter to heart.
Liang Yujie, who was in another carriage, kept glancing in their direction, trying to see where they would get off.
After seeing that very few people got off the bus at the final stop, I knew the answer.
Liang Yujie picked up her suitcase and got off the bus with the crowd. As soon as she got off, she looked around, but after looking around, she couldn't see many people. She sighed with regret.
Perhaps she misjudged the situation.
Liang Yujie withdrew her gaze and walked towards the station entrance, where she immediately saw the housekeeper who had come to pick her up.
"Young Miss, you're finally back. This time, you can't argue with the Master anymore."
Liang Yujie snorted coldly, "Who's arguing with him? What do you call this? We're on different paths, so we can't work together."
Butler Li could only nod, a forced smile on his face. "Yes, yes, Miss is right. Let's go back quickly."
Liang Yujie glanced inside, then pouted in disappointment, "Didn't my older brother come?"
"Young Master has distinguished guests today and cannot come at the moment."
“Okay.” Liang Yujie picked up her suitcase and got into the car.
Meanwhile, Lu Beiting and his group saw Li Weimin at the door as soon as they came out.
"Brother Li."
Li Weimin stubbed out his cigarette, looked at the group, and a smile appeared on his serious face. "Beiting, Zhang Yi, sister-in-law, it's cold, let's talk in the car."
The group quickly got into the car. After getting in, Li Weimin glanced at Xia Zhi, who was heavily pregnant, and asked, "Sister-in-law, is your due date coming soon?"
“Yes, it should be around this time.” Lu Beiting replied, then took off his clothes and covered her stomach.
Watching this scene, Li Weimin couldn't help but feel a little envious. Having a wife is really great; she can change a person completely.
"By the way, Beiting, Chief Liang knows you're here and wants to meet you and your sister-in-law. It's still early, would you like to go over there?"
Li Weimin was also terrified. Who would let someone go as soon as they arrived at the station? Unfortunately, the person was his superior, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"Go."
Lu Beiting didn't want to put Li Weimin in a difficult position.
Li Weimin gave him a grateful look.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at their destination, a heavily guarded manor, with even the entrance heavily guarded by soldiers.
The person at the gate recognized Li Weimin and stepped forward to salute, saying, "Greetings, Brigade Commander!"
Then, peeking inside, Li Weimin's face turned cold. "This is the leader's distinguished guest. Let him through immediately."
Upon hearing this, the guard quickly waved for the people behind him to let them pass.
Xia Zhi looked at the soldiers outside the window, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. After getting out of the car, the group went to the door.
The soldiers at the door stepped forward and saluted, while the men behind them carried a tray. Li Weimin was the first to take down his gun, and the men behind him did the same.
Xia Zhi pursed her lips and had no choice but to put her small gun up as well. Compared to the other guns next to it, it was really tiny.
A flicker of shock crossed Li Weimin's eyes when he saw the gun. This model of gun was specially developed by his father for Ya Ya; it was small and lightweight. Even before it was developed, his father had been saying that he would definitely get Ya Ya one when she grew up. He never expected to see this gun again after all these years.
"Let's go in," Li Weimin said with a smile, glancing at Xia Zhi.
Suspicion flashed in Xia Zhi's eyes. Before, Li Weimin's gaze towards her always carried an air of righteousness and integrity, but just now, she actually felt a touch of tenderness.
She's probably overthinking it.
The next second, Xia Zhi's thoughts were pulled back.
"Hello, Chief!"
Li Weimin, Lu Beiting, and the others saluted the person on the sofa.
Xia Zhi was completely unprepared and felt a sudden panic. She quickly followed suit and saluted, "Greetings, Commander!"
"Hmm, have a seat." Liang Huai'an put down the newspaper in his hand, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, his gaze sweeping over the group with a stern and scrutinizing look.
Xia Zhi froze instantly, feeling as if she were being stared at by a teacher with a death stare when she was in school.
The servants nearby made tea for the group.
Xia Zhi sat down next to Lu Beiting, glanced at him, and noticed that Zhang Yi and Qin Beishan were also somewhat afraid, which made her feel a little better.
He glanced at Lu Beiting, still expressionless, even more composed than Li Weimin beside him.
Liang Huai'an glanced back and forth between Lu Beiting and Xia Zhi beside him a few times. "Beiting, is this the Dr. Xia Zhi that Minister Shen mentioned?"
"Yes, sir." Xia Zhi also looked at Liang Huai'an.
"I heard that Dr. Xia rejected medical school and went to Nan'an University instead. Why is that?" Liang Huai'an asked, his hands clasped together, looking at her with some curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhi had a few thoughts flash through her mind. Could it be that these two leaders had some connection with the medical university? Did they feel that she had embarrassed the medical university and came here specifically to demand an explanation?
Xia Zhi said politely, "I have no education or qualifications. Going to medical school would only embarrass me. Nan'an is more suitable for me."
He muttered a few words to himself, purely because he couldn't stand the aloof attitude of medical universities. He thought it would be quite tiring to go there. But just because of Principal Cai Yong'an's carefree and crazy demeanor, he thought he would have a lot of fun there.
Liang Huai'an smiled slightly, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, and said reassuringly, "Dr. Xia, don't be nervous, I'm just curious."
This incident caused quite a stir. As soon as Wang Wencong returned from the border post, he told everyone he met that this Dr. Xia who suddenly appeared was arrogant and incompetent, looked down on medical universities, and deliberately went to Nan'an.
He was simply curious about what kind of person would have the audacity to refuse an unprecedented invitation from a medical university and to have angered the renowned Professor Wang to the point of being unrecognizable.
"Commander, as the saying goes, gold shines wherever it is. We are all dedicated to medicine and serving the people, so there's no need to worry about these empty words," Xia Zhi said, feigning seriousness.
Liang Huai'an glanced at her a few more times. "You seem to have a good outlook on things. But the fact that you were able to cure Minister Shen proves that you are capable."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Xia Zhi shut up after saying that, feeling uneasy and even a little uncomfortable. She had never met such a big shot before, let alone chatted with him face to face. What if she suddenly said something wrong and he arrested her?
Shouldn't she be discussing military matters with Lu Beiting? Why is she keeping harping on her?
Liang Huai'an glanced at her a few more times.
Xia Zhi: "..." She's just a rough person, stop looking, she can't even come up with any polite words or compliments anymore.
"What brings you here, Commander?" Lu Beiting asked calmly, breaking the awkward atmosphere between them. He then reached out and took her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.
Liang Huai'an glanced at him indifferently, "This matter is not urgent." Then he turned his gaze to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi pursed her lips, but still took the initiative to ask, "Chief Liang, is there anything else you want to say to me?"
