Chapter 533: Chapter 533: The Two of Us Are the Second Best in the World

Nan Qiao arrived at the hospital, pushed open the door to Nan Shan’s ward, and saw a long-lost familiar figure.

"Master!" Nan Shan walked over excitedly.

Tang Helin smiled broadly at Nan Qiao, proud and gratified, for this was his cherished disciple.

"Master, you’ve returned. Why didn’t you let me know in advance so I could come to pick you up?"

"If I’d told you ahead of time, you would undoubtedly have been distracted by my affairs. Now, you need to focus on your health. Don’t worry about the rest."

"Master, I understand, I really do." Nan Qiao sat down.

"Qiaoqiao, I’ve come this time to take Nan Shan away. I know all about the situation. If Nan Shan stays, it’ll not only bring trouble to you but also invite danger upon him."

Taking him away is the best solution.

Nan Shan was already awake, sitting on the bed calmly, showing no signs of reluctance to leave.

Suddenly, Nan Qiao felt that Nan Shan seemed to have grown up.

Tang Helin said, "I’ve discussed it with Nan Shan, and he’s agreed."

Nan Shan managed a slight smile, his facial muscles trembling briefly before he quickly asserted with a smile, "Master, I want to go back."

Nan Qiao knew this was indeed the best plan.

"If you want to go back, then go back."

Tang Helin stood up, "Qiaoqiao, I must take Nan Shan back immediately, time is of the essence."

"So soon." Nan Qiao stood up, somewhat bewildered.

"It has to be this soon," Tang Helin whispered, "If Li Tianyi’s family is involved, then the longer Nan Shan stays, the more danger there will be."

Nan Qiao didn’t say much more, agreeing to their departure.

"Master, I’ll have Old Wu and the others escort you away."

"No need, you stay at the hospital and don’t leave. I’ll take Nan Shan and send you a message later."

That way, observers would think Nan Shan was still at the hospital.

"Master, Nan Shan, have a safe journey."

Nan Shan was very obedient, following behind Tang Helin, his emotions stable.

"Master, I’ll head back now. I’ll visit you again when I have the time."

Nan Shan smiled, then followed Tang Helin out.

Zheng Qinnian arrived at that time to join Nan Qiao.

"Sending Nan Shan back is good for both you and him," Zheng Qinnian comforted.

"Don’t worry, my emotions are stable. I’m fine," Nan Qiao smiled.

"I’ll sit in your office for a while. Lock Nan Shan’s ward first. When those people realize something’s off, they’ll definitely find a way to check the ward. Locking it will buy us some time."

"Alright."

Zheng Qinnian took out the key, locked the door, and then led Nan Qiao back to his office.

...

Nan Qiao waited for half an hour before receiving a call from Tang Helin.

"Qiaoqiao, I went to the Miao Region. The person who made the poison of the curse is missing. According to my investigation, he’s been missing for a month. I was too late."

"Their methods are extremely ruthless; they certainly wouldn’t leave any survivors. Master, I appreciate you taking the trip."

"Silly child, there’s no need for such formalities between us. I couldn’t be of much help to you."

"Master’s help has been immense. The Miao Region is a place most people wouldn’t dare enter. Even if they did, they’d easily lose their life there. Without Master’s help, I wouldn’t have found anyone willing to go."

Tang Helin was a bit embarrassed by the praise, "You cheeky girl, always the smooth talker."

Speaking, Tang Helin noticed Nan Shan’s mood was quite low beside him.

"Qiaoqiao, Nan Shan and I have safely boarded the car and are far from Jing City. Don’t worry, I promise to bring him back safely."

"Master, thank you for your efforts."

"It’s not hard, I’ll hang up now."

The call ended, and Nan Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Nan Qiao left the hospital and received a call from Principal Qi.

"Hey, don’t know if you have time now, could you come to the school for a bit?"

Principal Qi was unsure if Nan Qiao would agree to his request, and his voice had almost taken on a pleading tone.

"What’s the matter?"

"It’s like this; our school doesn’t have a Medical Club. I’ve discussed with some leaders, hoping you’d take the lead in establishing it. What do you think?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

What could she think?

Is refusal possible?

Nan Qiao could guess Principal Qi’s intention—to enhance the school’s medical specialization before she graduated early and make the specialty known to more people.

"So, have you considered it?"

"Okay, I agree. But, who gets into the Medical Club, the decision will be entirely mine. I won’t accept any backdoor entries."

"Rest assured, I guarantee no one will sneak in." Principal Qi was ecstatic.

"I’m heading to the school now, we’ll talk face to face."

Nan Qiao hung up the phone.

...

Chen Man was walking through the campus with her backpack and spotted a familiar silhouette coming her way.

Even though Nan Qiao wore a long coat, she couldn’t hide her tall figure.

"Qiaoqiao." Chen Man ran over.

"Qiaoqiao, did you come here specifically to pick me up after school?"

"I have to go to the Principal’s office for a meeting."

"What business? If it calls you in, it must be important!"

Chen Man grasped Nan Qiao’s arm, blinking her eyes as she kept a keen gaze on her.

"Good sister, can you share some of this gossip with me?"

Nan Qiao chuckled softly, Chen Man was just too adorable.

"I’ll tell you, but you cannot tell anyone else. The matter isn’t settled yet, so it’s confidential for now."

"Qiaoqiao, rest assured, I won’t breathe a word to outsiders. We are family; the rest are outsiders. Family versus outsiders—of course, we’re kin. We rank second best in the world!"

Speaking thus, Chen Man gave Nan Qiao a bear hug.

"Why are we second best?" Nan Qiao asked, puzzled.

"Because you and your hubby are first best. When it comes to me, I can only be second best."

Nan Qiao was amused and exasperated, "Okay, I trust you."

Nan Qiao told Chen Man about the Medical Club.

Chen Man’s eyes sparkled, pleading with Nan Qiao as she pulled on her hand, "My Qiaoqiao, my dear sister, recruit me too! I’ll serve tea, carry your bag, sound good?"

"I do plan to recruit you, wait for my good news."

"Thank you, my dear sister."

Nan Qiao was overwhelmed by Chen Man’s syrupy sweetness and couldn’t help but gently push her away.

"I’ll be heading off now."

Nan Qiao parted ways with Chen Man and went to Principal Qi’s office.

As soon as Nan Qiao arrived at the door and before she could knock, the door swung open.

Nan Qiao jumped a little.

"I’ve been keeping watch by the door, peering through the peephole. Finally! You’ve arrived, please come in."

Principal Qi’s aged face creased into a chrysanthemum-like smile.

Nan Qiao walked in, and Principal Qi gently closed the door behind her.

"Come, have a drink."

Nan Qiao had just sat down when Principal Qi brought forth milk tea, fruit tea, coffee, even some duck appetizers.

Principal Qi’s preparation was so thorough, Nan Qiao felt a little embarrassed.

"Principal, there’s really no need to go to all this trouble."

Principal Qi sat down, his emotions both excited and mysteriously eager...
