Chapter 367: Chapter 366: Filing a Complaint
Fan Qianshu seemed to know Medicine Valley better than Yiyi. He actually led them into a secret tunnel, where it was extremely quiet, and the disturbances outside seemed not to affect it at all.
The group walked for a long stretch until they finally saw the light ahead.
"Here we are. Although the exit ahead is a bit small, we should all be able to pass through."
Fan Qianshu said and was the first to climb out.
The people he brought also carried the injured out swiftly.
Seeing this, Yiyi and Gu Tingyu brought up the rear, exiting last.
When Fan Qianshu saw that everyone was out, he immediately got a bus over to pick up Yiyi and the others and quickly leave.
"Yiyi, will we soon be home?"
Tao Cuizhu still felt a bit unreal; she thought she would be buried in Medicine Valley this time, not expecting to escape after all the twists and turns.
Seeing the dazed look on Tao Cuizhu’s face, Yiyi smiled and said, "Yes, we’ll be home very soon."
After arriving in Shangjing, Fan Qianshu looked at Yiyi and asked, "Where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Yiyi directly said, "First back to the Ding Family."
She was sure Mr. Ding and her mother would still be waiting at home for news of them, so she wanted to see them soon to put their minds at ease. But quickly, Yiyi shook her head and said, "No, first to the hospital, let’s hurry and get Xiao Gao there."
Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the hospital first."
Fan Qianshu didn’t ask much and drove directly towards the City Center Hospital.
After settling Xiao Gao and the injured staff in the hospital, Fan Qianshu took everyone back into the car and headed towards the Ding Family. However, when he asked Gu Tingyu where he wanted to go, Gu Tingyu gave another address and said, "After dropping off Yiyi and the others, please take us to this address."
Fan Qianshu naturally had no objection.
But Yiyi disapproved, looking at Gu Tingyu and saying, "No, Tingyu, you’re injured, how can you return to work?"
Gu Tingyu smiled, stroked Yiyi’s hair, and said, "Don’t worry, I’m really okay, so there’s no need to worry at all, especially since we’re back in Shangjing. I’ll just go to the office briefly to debrief the mission, and then I’ll head home right away. You go back with your friends first."
Considering Tao Cuizhu’s situation, Yiyi couldn’t abandon her and go with Gu Tingyu, so she could only nod and say, "Okay, then Cuizhu and I will head home first, but after you handle things, you must go straight home. I’ll call you then."
"Alright."
After they said a few more words, the plan was settled.
Next, Fan Qianshu first took Yiyi and Tao Cuizhu to the Ding Family, then took Gu Tingyu and the others to their workplace.
Mr. Ding and Ding Yuejun were delighted to come out and greet Yiyi when they saw her return.
"Yiyi, you’re finally back."
Ding Yuejun was almost in tears of joy but then put on a stern face towards her daughter and said, "Yiyi, how could you go without preparing anything? Were you not afraid of accidents? You were worrying us to death."
Seeing her mother’s worried face, Yiyi felt very guilty.
"Mom, I’m sorry for worrying you. I promise I won’t leave without saying anything again."
She had been somewhat overconfident. Originally, she thought she was familiar with Medicine Valley, and combined with her skills, there wouldn’t be an issue rescuing Tao Cuizhu, but she hadn’t expected so many changes afterward, almost causing them to not make it out.
Seeing her daughter’s remorseful expression, Ding Yuejun didn’t continue to blame her, only saying, "It’s good that you know."
Then she noticed Tao Cuizhu next to Yiyi and quickly smiled, saying, "You must be Cui Zhu. You’ve had a hard time recently. Now that you’re back, you must take good care of yourself, and tonight you can rest in Yiyi’s courtyard and we’ll have dinner together later."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Hearing this from Tao Cuizhu, Ding Yuejun waved her hand quickly and said, "No need to thank us; it’s us who should be thanking you."
She then hurriedly took Tao Cuizhu to Yiyi’s courtyard while Yiyi stayed and chatted with Mr. Ding for a bit.
Seeing his granddaughter’s current condition, Mr. Ding was full of heartache. Nonetheless, his eldest daughter spoke rightly, "You, you, I told you before that we’d soon have a clue and a solution to this matter. Instead, you recklessly rushed to Medicine Valley. Thank goodness, Yun Chu arrived in time, or I don’t dare to imagine the consequences."
Mentioning Yun Chu, Yiyi was indeed very grateful to him, as well as to Mr. Ding for his decision. "Grandpa, you really went through a lot this time."
"Not at all, as long as you’re all safe."
Mr. Ding glanced at Yiyi and said, "There’s no need for thanks between us. Now, go get some rest; we can talk about other things tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yiyi did not refuse. She was indeed very tired.
Meanwhile, on the other side, once Gu Tingyu and the others arrived at their office, they went straight to the leadership’s office.
"What happened to you? You went on a task and now only a few of you are back."
Wei Zixiao quickly spoke up on the side, "Leader, you must stand up for us this time, we were ambushed." He quickly explained the whole situation and then said, "We almost couldn’t make it back."
Their leader, Ji Zhengguo, was intolerant of any injustice. After hearing the situation, he slammed his hand on the table in anger and said, "Leave this matter to me, I’ll see who’s scheming behind our backs."
Hearing this from his leader, Wei Zixiao felt assured. Then he noticed Gu Tingyu’s pale face and anxiously asked, "Tingyu, how are you? Should I take you to the medical station?"
Only then did Ji Zhengguo notice something was off with Gu Tingyu. Upon realizing his reliable subordinate was injured, he immediately sent him to the medical station. Unexpectedly, upon arrival, they discovered that Gu Tingyu’s injuries were quite severe.
"Such serious injuries, why was he brought only now? He needs surgery immediately, or his hand could be lost. After signing, step outside and wait."
Wei Zixiao listened, visibly tense, and in the end, Ji Zhengguo signed the papers, and the two waited silently at the door of the operating room.
"Bang..."
About an hour later, the doors of the operating room swung open.
Seeing the doctor come out, Wei Zixiao hurriedly asked, "How is Tingyu?"
"Rest assured, everything is fine, but you need to take good care of him afterward."
"Thank you, doctor."
Wei Zixiao quickly agreed, then assisted by the nurses, moved Gu Tingyu to the ward.
