Ou Cong decides to travel south to find Jiang Shuqin, despite his sister Xia Chuyi's concerns. He rushes to prepare for his journey. However, unexpectedly, Jiang Shuqin returns to Beijing. When Xia Chuyi asks why, Jiang Shuqin reveals that her Senior Brother Zhicheng had an accident while volunteer teaching in a remote area; he fell while climbing a ladder due to an injured hand, which he had previously healed.

Jiang Shuqin was somewhat puzzled by Xia Chuyi’s words, saying, "Famous doctor? Did he seek treatment from a famous doctor? But that day in the hospital, I heard the doctor say his hand was an old injury, and it didn’t look like it had been treated..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately fell silent.

So, Song Zhicheng deceived her back then?

But, why?

Why did Song Zhicheng do this?

Xia Chuyi couldn’t make sense of it.

No matter how confusing it was, the priority now was to see how Song Zhicheng was doing.

"Shuqin, let me go with you to see Brother Song." Xia Chuyi swiftly decided and said to Jiang Shuqin.

"Yes, I was just about to go myself." Jiang Shuqin nodded and agreed with Xia Chuyi.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctors were discussing Song Zhicheng’s condition.

"Although the patient’s physical condition is not life-threatening, several internal bones are broken, and his leg is fractured as well. He must rest in bed for at least half a year."

"Moreover, it would be best for the patient not to return to work in the south. In his current condition, even after recovery, it might be difficult to handle the high-altitude reaction of the Southwest."

For most people, when high-altitude reaction is mentioned, they think of the Tibetan Region, but actually, the Southwest is also a high-altitude area.

Some people experience physical reactions when they go to the Southwest as well.

As the doctor spoke, the Song Family kept nodding, while Song Zhicheng on the hospital bed showed no expression.

Seeing Jiang Shuqin bringing Xia Chuyi over, the Song Family immediately stepped forward to thank Jiang Shuqin, saying, "Shuqin girl, thank you, thank you so much

Without you, our Zhicheng might not have been able to come back alive!"

At that time, the small local hospital couldn’t handle Song Zhicheng’s situation.

It was Jiang Shuqin, also in the Southwest, who decisively took out the money, immediately hired a doctor to assist, and had Song Zhicheng carried out from the mountain area to a major hospital for treatment.

Once the situation stabilized, she quickly contacted the Song Family to have Song Zhicheng transferred from the Southwest to the Capital City.

"Uncle, Auntie, you don’t have to be so polite, I didn’t do much." Seeing the Song Family like this, Jiang Shuqin immediately said, "At that time, it was mainly Mr. He who helped a lot. Otherwise, I, unfamiliar with the local people and place, wouldn’t be able to find someone to carry Zhicheng out."

Upon hearing this, the Song Family immediately said, "Mr. He should definitely be thanked, but we also need to thank you."

"You and Mr. He, you are both good people!" The Song Family expressed with great emotion.

After thanking Jiang Shuqin, the Jiang Family also thanked Xia Chuyi for coming to see Song Zhicheng.

"Chuyi, you are very considerate." Mrs. Song said.

Xia Chuyi shook her head, saying, "It’s nothing. Given the relationship between our two families, hearing about this, I should come."

The most important thing is, Xia Chuyi wanted to know why Song Zhicheng’s hand injury was not completely healed.

Why did Song Zhicheng conceal this?

While pondering this, Xia Chuyi caught Song Zhicheng’s eye.

Song Zhicheng was momentarily startled, looking slightly embarrassed, and turned to the other side.

Since Xia Chuyi could come at this moment, Song Zhicheng knew she was aware of his unresolved hand issue.

Just as Xia Chuyi was looking for a chance to ask Song Zhicheng.

"Miss Jiang!" A young man approached from the end of the corridor, with a smile in his eyes, calling out to Jiang Shuqin.
