Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Meeting An Ran Again

After getting an internal medicine appointment, the doctor briefly examined Gu Fuqiao and told her it was just that the weather had been a bit hot recently, nothing else wrong. Gu Fuqiao took it for granted that there was nothing else wrong, the only suspicion she had was that she was pregnant.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Qing was at this hospital, so she couldn’t even get checked with peace of mind.

She planned to find an opportunity to go to another hospital for a checkup after returning home, or ask Old Mrs. Gu when she gets back; Old Mrs. Gu must have a solution.

Thinking of Old Mrs. Gu, Gu Fuqiao, who had been restless from yesterday to today, suddenly felt much better, as if she had found her compass. After checking her body, she said to Chen Bajin, "Bajin, since we’re at the hospital anyway, you should see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

Chen Bajin was perplexed: "Why should I see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor? I’m not sick?"

Gu Fuqiao shook her head: "It’s not about being sick, Western medicine can’t detect a cold womb, but traditional Chinese medicine can tell instantly by taking the pulse. See if you have a cold womb, and while you’re at it, get two prescriptions. If your condition isn’t severe, taking the medicine might help you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bajin felt it was reasonable. After all, she had been contemplating this issue regarding children for a long time, so she immediately nodded. "Let’s go get a traditional Chinese medicine appointment then! The sooner it’s checked, the sooner we can go home!"

Gu Fuqiao guessed correctly, Chen Bajin indeed had a cold womb, and it wasn’t mild. The traditional Chinese medicine doctor gave a prescription and instructed Chen Bajin to take it three times a day after going home, and to avoid spicy and cold foods.

For Chen Bajin, who loved to eat watermelon and popsicles, this was simply torture.

As Chen Bajin walked, she lamented that if only she had been born earlier, without popsicles, things might be better.

Hearing this, Gu Fuqiao wanted to laugh. There was a time when she was crazily obsessed with her mobile phone in later years. Even though there wasn’t much to play with on it, she just liked to take out the phone, slide through a webpage a couple of times, then close it, open Taobao, close it, and open QQ again. Back then, she thought, if only there wasn’t a mobile phone, it’d be better.

However... ever since returning to this 1980s, weren’t the days without mobile phones actually quite nice?

"Hmm, you’re right. Maybe if you were born a few years earlier, going back to days without popsicles might be better." Gu Fuqiao agreed with a nod.

"Yeah." Chen Bajin sighed, "Looks like I’ll have to save money this time... because I can’t spend money on popsicles anymore!"

Meanwhile, in a military district office in the Southwest Region, Yan Zhen Guo had just completed the joint operation with Regiment Commander Jiang Changlong and Chief of Staff Chen Yong to eliminate drug traffickers in the Southwest Region.

In the quiet office, the only sound was that of books being flipped. Suddenly, the phone on the military district commander’s desk rang. After answering a call, he said to Jiang Changlong, "Old Jiang, I have something to attend to; rest here for a while."

Shortly after the military district commander walked out, the door was pushed open again. Jiang Changlong thought the superior had returned and turned his head to greet him, but saw a man in military uniform with graying hair, though still energetic. Although over fifty, he exuded a fierce aura from the battlefield, commanding respect.

"Chief of Staff!" Jiang Changlong suddenly stood up, saluting the man.

Yan Zhen Guo and Chen Yong followed suit with a crisp salute.

The chief of staff was accompanied by an officer and a young girl, who was none other than An Ran, the girl who had visited Yan Zhen Guo’s home before.

An Ran, dressed in military uniform as before, had her brows slightly furrowed, seemingly pondering something.

The chief of staff came in and sat behind the desk, waving them off: "You all may leave for now."

"Yes!" Jiang Changlong led the response. As they approached the door, Mr. Yan Senior called out to Yan Zhen Guo, "Yan Zhen Guo, stay."

Yan Zhen Guo halted his steps and seamlessly turned back to his place.

Seeing Yan Zhen Guo so obedient relieved Jiang Changlong. He knew the relationship between Yan Zhen Guo and the chief of staff wasn’t great, fearing he might be a thorn, defying the chief of staff in person could be trouble.

Thankfully, Yan Zhen Guo stayed, and Jiang Changlong then went out with Chen Yong.

Mr. Yan Senior also dismissed the guard, leaving only Yan Zhen Guo and An Ran with him in the office.

Mr. Yan Senior glanced at Yan Zhen Guo, still solemn, "I heard you’ve put a lot of effort into this drug trafficker capture operation."

This gang ravaged from the Capital to the Southwest Region; local authorities couldn’t handle them. This time, they even caused human trafficking incidents, forcing the local to seek military assistance.

"Not too bad," Yan Zhen Guo responded casually.

Seeing Yan Zhen Guo’s impatient demeanor, Mr. Yan Senior turned to look out the window, "Your mother often talks about you. Since you’re married, bring her home during the New Year. Also, An Ran has something to say to you."

Upon hearing An Ran’s name, Yan Zhen Guo instinctively glanced at her.

An Ran noticed Yan Zhen Guo’s gaze and lightly relaxed her furrowed brows, "Brother Yan, can we talk further?"

Seeing An Ran like this, Yan Zhen Guo suddenly remembered the last time An Ran visited his home, which Gu Fuqiao witnessed.

Who knows what’s in that woman’s mind, imagining all sorts of things...

Thinking of this, Yan Zhen Guo directly refused, "Whatever you have to say, say it here."

An Ran didn’t expect Yan Zhen Guo to say this; she hesitated for a moment and didn’t speak.

Seeing An Ran’s hesitation, Yan Zhen Guo said to Mr. Yan Senior, "Chief of Staff, I will follow your instructions. This year is the first year Ah Jiao married me; I will surely bring her home. Also, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave now." He finished speaking and directly walked out.

An Ran watched Yan Zhen Guo leave and hurriedly followed him to the corridor outside, calling out, "Brother Yan, I heard the drug lord this time was killed by you personally?"

Yan Zhen Guo stopped, his expression unchanged, directly confirming, "Yes, he was unyielding, causing many casualties on our side. Orders from above allowed shooting if necessary."

Though Yan Zhen Guo answered straightforwardly, An Ran’s eyes couldn’t help but fill with moisture.

She stepped forward, saying, "Brother Yan, actually you know... know the connection between this drug gang and my sister’s death..."

Upon hearing the word ’death,’ Yan Zhen Guo’s expression changed, directly interrupting An Ran, "Your sister’s body wasn’t found; there might still be hope."
