"Alright, Luo Tang, we'll handle the rat ourselves. You should go back and get cleaned up for bed."
Watching Huang Jingshan stiffly enter to deal with the rat, Wan Yunting turned to the tense and frightened Gu Luo Tang. She clutched her arms tightly to her chest, and he could clearly feel her full, proud peaks. It made Wan Yunting a little embarrassed, and he slowly withdrew his arm from her embrace.
Gu Luo Tang, realizing her actions, blushed deeply, her pretty face like a ripe red apple. She lowered her head, too shy to look.
"Senior Sister."
At this moment, Qi Miaomiao returned. She had hidden downstairs to finish her milk tea before daring to come up.
"Miaomiao's back. Take your Senior Sister back to her room," Wan Yunting said, turning to her.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing. A rat appeared in my room just now, it scared Luo Tang," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
Qi Miaomiao seemed to think of something and couldn't help but snicker, which left Wan Yunting a bit confused. Qi Miaomiao then came over, hugged Gu Luo Tang's arm, and giggled, "Then we'll head back to the room."
"Mm…"
Watching the two sisters return to their room, Wan Yunting entered his own. He saw Huang Jingshan already coming out, carrying the dead rat. He looked blank and vacant, making Wan Yunting raise an eyebrow. He curiously asked, "Old Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Jingshan held the rat by its tail, paused for a moment, then turned his vacant face and said, "Nothing…"
"But you…"
Before Wan Yunting could finish, Huang Jingshan, still holding the rat, walked out on his own, his face blank and dull. Wan Yunting was speechless, not knowing what had gotten into him.
However, he didn't think much of it. He grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom to shower. When he came out, Huang Jingshan had already returned. He was leaning against the headboard, holding his phone, his eyes vacant and his expression dull. Wan Yunting was genuinely curious if the guy had experienced some kind of shock or blow, otherwise, why would he be like this after coming back?
"Old Huang, what exactly is wrong?" Wan Yunting couldn't help but ask again.
Huang Jingshan slightly lifted his head, his gaze dull as he looked at Wan Yunting. He was completely blank and slowly said, "I'm fine…"
Wan Yunting was taken aback. He reached out and touched his forehead, frowning, "You're not sick either."
"I've showered…"
Saying this, Huang Jingshan put down his phone and got off the bed, walking towards the bathroom blankly. He didn't even take his clothes…
Wan Yunting was about to make a video call to Fang Yanxi with his phone. Seeing this scene, he could only smile and shake his head…
He finished his video call with Fang Yanxi after about ten minutes. Wan Yunting then picked up his laptop to plan for the next day's work. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Wan Yunting called out, "The door isn't locked, come in…"
As he spoke, Zhao Lusi and Chi Wenhui pushed the door open, poking their heads in and smiling at Wan Yunting, "Brother Wan, are you guys having a late-night snack? I brought some for you." wap.kanshu伍.net
Wan Yunting looked at them and smiled, "Sure, bring me and Jingshan a portion of fried noodles."
"Okay."
Zhao Lusi and Chi Wenhui nodded. At the same time, Peng Yushan and Li Peiyong were waiting behind them. They were hungry earlier and thought about going downstairs for a late-night snack…
But in the next second, as Zhao Lusi and Chi Wenhui were about to leave, they saw Huang Jingshan walk out of the bathroom blankly. He was bare-chested, and down below, he was only wearing a pair of briefs…
"Ah…"
The sight shocked Zhao Lusi and Chi Wenhui. They immediately covered their eyes and turned to run.
"What happened, what happened?"
Sun Zhinan and Li Peiyong behind them didn't know what was wrong with Zhao Lusi and the others, so they quickly came to the doorway. They saw Wan Yunting, sitting on the bed, completely speechless at Huang Jingshan.
"Damn, Brother Wan, you guys are playing this intensely…"
Sun Zhinan and Li Peiyong were stunned. Huang Jingshan had also completely woken up. He was so embarrassed that he was already putting on his pants, wishing he could crawl into a rat hole…
The next morning at seven thirty, Wan Yunting woke up on time. He called Huang Jingshan awake, and the two of them tidied up and left their room. Just then, Gu Luo Tang and Qi Miaomiao also came out, greeting them, "Good morning, Brother Yun Ting."
"Morning…"
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. Huang Jingshan, however, looked listless and lazy, lacking his usual vigor. He nodded blankly, "Morning…"
This scene surprised Gu Luo Tang. She turned and exchanged glances with Qi Miaomiao. The latter pouted and shrugged, not knowing what was going on with him.
Without dwelling on it, Wan Yunting led everyone downstairs. They ate breakfast at the same breakfast stall as yesterday. After Chen Minxue arrived, everyone headed towards Nan'an Village…
Following the same procedure as yesterday, they first visited the village clinic and chatted with the village doctor. They still complained about the price increase of medicines…
Returning to town for lunch, Wan Yunting asked Chen Minxue, "Team Leader Chen, can I contact Minister Chang and arrange a chat with Liu Mingde?"
Chen Minxue frowned, knowing that Wan Yunting would surely discuss the price increase. After careful consideration, he nodded, "I'll contact Minister Chang later and see."
"Mm."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile and said to everyone, "After lunch, everyone go back to the hotel for a nap. At two thirty in the afternoon, we'll go to Chenjia Village."
"Okay…"
After finishing their meal, everyone returned to their hotel. At two thirty in the afternoon, Wan Yunting and the others went downstairs punctually and took a Golden Cup minivan towards Chenjia Village.
Chenjia Village was about fifteen kilometers from Qianshan Town. Fortunately, the road had been paved with cement, otherwise, the bumpy ride would have been unbearable for Huang Jingshan and Zhang Nong in the van.
Actually, only remote villages had clinics. For the surrounding villages close to Qianshan Town, people usually went directly to the town hospital for a common cold.
For villages like Chenjia Village that were far away, a clinic was necessary so that villagers with minor colds wouldn't have to travel all the way to town to see a doctor.
The clinic of Chenjia Village was located within their village. Chenjia Village was large, with over 160 households. Chen Minxue drove the Golden Cup minivan, bringing Wan Yunting and his group to the Chenjia Village clinic. A middle-aged man, the village doctor Chen Ziyao, came out to greet them. "Oh, Vice Chairman Wan, welcome to our Chenjia Village! Please, come in quickly…"
However, in the corner of a house in the distance, two young men from the village stood watching. Seeing Wan Yunting and his group enter the clinic with Chen Ziyao, the two young men exchanged glances, then turned and ran towards the end of the village. Soon, they arrived at a courtyard of a house. In the living room, a group of people were gathered.
Sitting on a wooden chair was a middle-aged man named Chen Fu, who was famously known as Brother Fu in the county town (a boss in the underworld)!
"Brother Fu, they've arrived. They're at the clinic," the two young men reported to Chen Fu as soon as they ran back.
Immediately, the youths seated there turned to look at Chen Fu. His eyes narrowed, the corner of his mouth curved upwards as he smoked, and he smiled, "Ask Aunt Yuehong to come over."
"Yes."
The two young men nodded, turned, and ran out again.
Chen Fu, still sitting on the chair, said to the others, "Have the brothers get ready. Today, don't let them take half a step out of our village entrance!"
"Yes…"
The surrounding brothers nodded. Several of them took out their phones and started making calls, arranging for people.
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting, along with Gu Luo Tang and Qi Miaomiao's group, were visiting the clinic in Chenjia Village, understanding their situation.
However, what puzzled Wan Yunting was that the medicines at their clinic had not increased in price!
"Price increase? How is that possible?"
Chen Ziyao waved his hand and smiled, "Our village clinic has always followed the old prices. They've never increased."
This surprised Wan Yunting and everyone else. While Chen Ziyao was away, Wan Yunting turned to Chen Minxue and asked, "Team Leader Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Minxue also found it strange, but after thinking about it, he raised an eyebrow and said, "This should have something to do with Chen Fu!"
