Chapter 237

Jiang Li and Xia Xiaoqiang left the Orphanage.

Just as they were about to get into the car, Xia Xiaoqiang pulled out a mail package and showed it to Jiang Li.

“Sis, look… what do you think this is!”

Seeing how excited she was, Jiang Li smiled and took the package.

It had already been opened.

She took out what was inside and saw that it was actually a university admission letter.

“I didn’t get to finish college before, so even now, all I have is a high school diploma.

So I emailed the academic offices of a whole bunch of universities, hoping they might take into account the fact that we were missing for twenty years and give us another chance to enroll.

Sis, do you know how many emails I wrote? I wrote so many that I was ready to give up by the end, but someone actually replied!

Jiangyun University gave me a chance to retake the entrance exam. If my score met the requirement, I could enroll.

And then I… passed!”

As Xia Xiaoqiang spoke to Jiang Li about the future, her eyes shone with a young girl’s anticipation for college life.

In the middle of her excitement, someone suddenly tapped her on the shoulder.

“Hey!”

Xia Xiaoqiang and Jiang Li turned around at the same time and saw a familiar face.

“Long time no see.” Liang Jie greeted them, his headphones still never far from him.

“Liang… Liang Jie? What are you doing here?” Xia Xiaoqiang’s eyes widened.

Ever since they left the train Instance, Liang Jie had vanished without a trace.

Caught off guard by his sudden appearance, neither Jiang Li nor Xia Xiaoqiang reacted right away.

Before Liang Jie could answer, Xia Guofeng stepped forward.

“Hahaha, didn’t expect this, did you? This kid Liang Jie passed the relevant exams and made it into our Intelligence Department.

From now on, he’ll be taking Xiao Wu’s place and working for the country!”

Liang Jie grinned brightly and waved his work badge at Xia Xiaoqiang and Jiang Li.

Xia Xiaoqiang sucked in a sharp breath. “Th-then what about Brother Xiao Wu? Didn’t I hear he already came back?”

Xia Guofeng said, “Didn’t Xiao Wu resign?

He was serious about it.

Mainly because he’s been exhausting himself day after day, worrying about too many things, and his health gave out.

We looked into it. He’d already developed a tumor in his lung half a year ago, and over the past few months it turned malignant.

Xiao Wu wanted to resign and focus on treatment, so we couldn’t exactly force him to stay. We let him go.”

A malignant tumor meant cancer.

Xia Xiaoqiang was stunned. “Then didn’t Brother Xiao Wu basically revive for nothing? Oh my god, that’s way too much to take, isn’t it?”

Jiang Li smiled and shook her head. “Of course his revival wasn’t for nothing. Take a guess why he went to the inner world after going to all that trouble.”

Xia Xiaoqiang froze, then blinked. “Why?”

Jiang Li was about to answer when Xia Guofeng suddenly cut her off. “Xiao Li, don’t say it yet. Let’s test our newly hired Liang Jie and see what he’s got.”

Liang Jie swept his gaze over the group, the corners of his eyes curving slightly as he smiled.

Rubbing his chin, he thought for a moment before saying, “I’m guessing Brother Xiao Wu went to the inner world… to get treated.”

“Huh?” Xia Xiaoqiang stared at him in shock. “What do you mean? Didn’t he get blown to death in the inner world? What does that have to do with treating an illness?”

No one answered her.

Xia Xiaoqiang stamped her foot in frustration. “So the three of you adults are ganging up on me, is that it? Ahhh! Bullying a minor! Explain yourselves! You can’t do this to me…”

Xia Guofeng burst out laughing and got into the sedan with Liang Jie.

Xia Xiaoqiang glared after them, her face flushed red with anger.

Jiang Li leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I’ll tell you a secret. The people from the Little Yellow Bee Foundation… can heal the body. Shh.”

After saying that, Jiang Li bent down and got into the other sedan.

Xia Xiaoqiang looked at the two cars in front of her. One held her father and Liang Jie; the other held Jiang Li. Both were just starting to move.

She looked from one to the other, then decisively chose to chase after Jiang Li.

“Sis, wait for me!”

“I want to hang out with you! They’re too mean, I don’t want them…”

…

Jinghai City People’s Hospital.

Xiao Wu brought his wife, Ms. Lin, and their younger son to the hospital for a physical examination.

When Ms. Lin and their son died, their abdomens had been ripped open and their hearts dug out by something unnatural.

After this revival, Xiao Wu insisted that they get a full checkup.

As for Xiao Wu himself, he went alone to the oncology department for a follow-up exam on his tumor.

“Wu Jia’en,” the doctor said, studying his lung X-ray film in utter confusion, “your case really isn’t something you see often.”

“…”

“Jeez, a tumor that big just vanished into thin air. How’d that even happen?” The doctor couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

He studied the records for quite a while and still couldn’t spot any problem.

In the end, he sent Xiao Wu for several more tests. Only after confirming that everything was completely fine did he finally let him go.
