Chapter 3783 Looking for someone
The news Hu Yi brought back made Old Hu feel gloomy, but even if he guessed that someone might be developing another large-scale project, it was to no avail.

Even if they didn't want to see Chao's adopted grandson add more and more bargaining chips to the Chao family, they couldn't interfere, otherwise Hu Yi would be the first to be squeezed out.

Old Hu felt a heavy weight in his heart. He felt that his son and grandson were destined to lose to the current two generations of the Chao family, and the Hu family's hopes would probably have to be placed on the next generation.

The next generation should be nurtured from the ground up, with proper planning and education to ensure they have a voice in the most important areas. Only in this way can the Hu family's status be elevated to a higher level.

He couldn't say these things, otherwise it would only discourage his grandchildren from striving for success.

All Old Hu can do is act as a stabilizing force, keeping things calm and composed. He also needs to instruct his sons and grandsons to proceed step by step, not to be impatient for quick success, lest they make a careless mistake and lose even their current positions.

After meeting with his father, Hu Yi only kept a close eye on Yan Shao and Liu Shao's movements and did not ask anyone to find out any inside information.

The Hu family stared at their little dumpling, wanting to know his whereabouts, while the Chao family, young and old, remained calm. They didn't even ask Xiao Xiaopang if he knew where the little dumpling had gone.

Xiao Shao returned to the capital and threw himself into a law firm, working diligently.

In the words of his family's spiritual masters, "While the young lady doesn't need you now, you should work hard and help your colleagues. When the young lady needs you, your colleagues will help you."

In order to be able to be there whenever Xiao Tuanzi needs him, Xiao Shao is very obedient, leaving early and returning late every day, shuttling between his workplace and home.

He was content with his lot and refused to attend any banquets or gatherings in the capital's various circles, leaving others to speculate wildly.

Like Xiao Shao, Chen Shuyuan, the senior student, was also focused on working hard.

Senior Chen worked overtime diligently for one reason only—to accumulate as many days off as possible so he could take leave when his wife gave birth and take care of her during her postpartum period.

Chen, who was focused on saving up vacation days, took advantage of the relatively relaxed early stages of his wife's pregnancy to work overtime whenever possible, showing great enthusiasm and drive.

Chen, a senior student with plenty of energy, spends his working hours either in the operating room or making rounds, and is rarely in the office.

That day, as soon as he came out of the operating room, he was caught by Professor Lu, who was waiting outside, and dragged to Professor Lu's office.

Although Professor Lu had something to discuss with Dr. Chen, he was also a kind-hearted person. He took Dr. Chen back to his office, poured him a glass of warm water, and gave him some snacks to replenish his energy.

Chen didn't stand on ceremony; he ate two pieces of chocolate and drank a glass of water, feeling full of energy again.

Taking a rare break, he lazily slumped in his chair, looked at Professor Lu and smiled: "Professor Lu, why did you drag me here in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

“Look at yourself, your eyes are bloodshot. You work overtime every day. Do you really think you're made of iron? You should rest when you need to. Don't take your youth and good health for granted.”

Professor Lu looked at Dr. Chen, who had worked several night shifts in a row, and scolded him irritably.

"I understand, I understand. I will rest when I need to. I'm just taking advantage of my current energy to work more overtime so that I can try to work fewer night shifts when my wife gives birth and have more time to take care of her."

Senior Chen nodded repeatedly, accepting the lecture, and said without wasting any words, "Professor Lu, if you have nothing else to do, I'll go back to work."

"What's the rush?" Professor Lu glared at him, annoyed. "I went through so much trouble to find you, how could nothing be wrong?!"

"Just say it if you have something to say, how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

"Stop interrupting me. I have something important to ask you. I'm looking for that young lady. Can you get in touch with her?"

"You want to find a little girl? Why do you want to find her?"

Chen was a little confused. Why was Professor Lu looking for him when he couldn't find the little girl?
His thinking was a little slow, but his actions were quick. He took out his phone from his pocket, searched for the little girl's number, found the contact, and dialed.

Professor Lu couldn't contact the little girl, and neither could he; after dialing, he was told that the phone was switched off.

I dialed another number and got the same answer.

The little girl turned off her phone, indicating that she was busy with important matters and had no time to be distracted.

After failing to dial, Senior Chen looked at Professor Lu and shrugged, "I can't get in touch with her either. Is your inquiry about the little girl business or personal? If it's business, you should contact Young Master Yan and his team directly."

When Dr. Chen took out his phone, Professor Lu didn't say anything. He let him make a call first, and when he confirmed that he couldn't contact the girl either, he sighed.

"Actually, it's not me looking for the young lady, but a fellow disciple of mine who asked her for help. This fellow disciple works in the pediatrics department of Songhai City First Hospital, and he has several children with critical symptoms there, and he wants to ask the young lady to help with their treatment."

Unable to contact the young woman, Professor Lu felt regretful and explained to the young man, "The young woman used to do free clinics at Songhai City Hospital and had worked with my nephew, which is why he shamelessly asked for help."

"This is a mix of public and private matters." After pondering for a few seconds, Senior Chen asked Professor Lu to wait a moment, then unlocked his phone again and contacted his buddy, Young Master Chao.

During working hours, Chao Jiamei was handling official business in his office. He wasn't extremely busy, but he wasn't idle either. When he received a call from Senior Chen, he didn't try to hide it from his colleagues and answered the call directly in his office. Senior Chen skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, saying that a pediatrician at a hospital in Songhai City was seeking help from a little girl but couldn't reach her. He had asked Professor Lu for help, and Professor Lu had asked him to take a roundabout approach.

"This roundabout way of achieving our goal is really convoluted, going through several detours." The handsome young man felt pity, but was powerless to help.

He didn't beat around the bush and gave a straight answer: "Senior Chen, to tell you the truth, my little dumpling went to a certain place in another province for an inspection a few days ago and cut off all contact with the outside world. I don't know exactly where she went at the moment."

Currently, the only people who know the whereabouts of my little dumpling are Yan Shao and his team.

My personal suggestion is that, if it's official business and the situation is urgent, have the doctor report to the leaders of the Ministry of Health first, and then have those leaders communicate with Young Master Yan on his behalf.

Senior Chen understood, hung up the phone, and relayed Chao Shao's suggestion to Professor Lu.

Professor Lu was not one to drag things out. After receiving the reply, he immediately relayed it to his junior apprentice, Shen Yishou, letting his junior apprentice and the leaders of his hospital make the decision themselves.

When Shen Yishou heard from Professor Lu that the young girl had gone to a certain province for an inspection, he realized that the only way to contact her was through official channels. After hesitating for a while, he went to find his superior.

The head of the pediatrics department then reported the matter to the hospital leadership.

Upon receiving the report, the hospital leadership convened an emergency internal meeting to first hear reports from the pediatrics department and the children's shelter, and then proceed with the discussion.

In recent years, the Children's Home of the First Hospital of Songhai City has taken in many children with difficult and complicated diseases and critical illnesses. It has also had many times sent away children with illnesses that could not be cured by medicine or rescue efforts.

Currently, there are several more critically ill children, some of whom suffer from terminal illnesses and are teetering on the brink of life and death every day. No one knows whether tomorrow or death will come first.

After discussion and a vote, the hospital leadership unanimously agreed to request official assistance.

The special medicine made by the little girl was expensive, so the hospital invited her to help treat children, as the hospital was unable to afford the huge medical expenses.

The hospital had no grounds to request the little girl to provide free medical treatment for children, since the children's shelter established by the hospital was under the instruction of higher authorities and was maintained by official funding every year.

If hospitals had to bear the costs of taking in abandoned children or children sent from welfare institutions, they would have been bankrupted long ago.

Without delay, after a vote, the hospital leadership first submitted a report to the Songhai City health department, which then reported to the capital.

The report approval process also has a procedure that takes some time.

When the report from the Songhai City Health Department was submitted to the leaders of the Health Department in the capital, it was already Thursday afternoon of the last week of March.

Upon receiving the application report from Songhai City Medical and Health Department, the bigwigs of the Capital Medical and Health Department glanced at it and thought, "Oh, they're requesting the organization to ask little Leyun to support the treatment of sick children in the shelter."
This report... is a bit too hot to handle.

The Ministry of Health held a quiet meeting, then took the hot-button report to the higher-ups. It was a matter of great importance, and it was best to ask the top leaders for their approval.

After reviewing the report, the leader made a phone call to the office of Chao Jia San Jun, the eldest son of the Chao family.

Chao Yi put aside his official duties and went to the leader's office. When he learned what it was about, he calmly replied, "The organization can decide this matter. I personally have no objection."

Since it concerned the young adopted grandson of the Chao family, and Chao Yi, who could represent the Chao family, did not directly object, then it should be handled officially.

The bigwigs signed their names with a flourish.

With the approval of his superiors, the Ministry of Health returned with the official document, beaming with joy. Without wasting a moment, he contacted Yan Can, who was assisting Qin Jiang in handling the case in E North.

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Yan Dashao and Qin Jiang had just finished interrogating a suspect and were organizing his statement when the young man in charge of communications brought them a phone call saying it was from the Ministry of Health and Medical Affairs of the Capital. They were a little confused.

What does the Ministry of Health want with him?
Yan Xing took the phone from his teammate who was temporarily acting as his secretary, answered the call, and listened to the explanation from the Ministry of Health. He felt a little uneasy: "Let me ask first, Director Xu, your practice of having little girls treat children with illnesses is not considered a free clinic, is it?"

The person from the Ministry of Health was also an acquaintance; he was the uncle of Chao Shao's childhood friend, Xu Shao.

Xu Bu couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Yan Shao's voice, which was even more melodious than a cello in D major but tinged with nervousness: "Yan Can, we contacted you to ask you to convey that the young lady has something to ask of us and to schedule a meeting. What does this have to do with whether it's a free clinic or not?"

"It's better if Director Xu doesn't say anything. That way, if the little girl asks, I can just say I don't know and let her decide for herself whether she wants to end the trip first. That's all for now, I'll contact you again if I have any news."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xing guessed that the official's request for the little girl to provide support was basically to ask her to provide free medical consultations. He decisively ended the call and then asked his teammates, "Do you have any updates on Xiang Yang and Lao Lan?"

The young wolf king in charge of communications equipment spoke in a very formal manner: "Not yet. We haven't been in contact with them since they went to a certain place in the Northwest. They should still be at a certain center."

It wasn't yet time to leave work, making it easier to find people. Yan Xing silently left the interrogation room and went to another well-secured room to contact a satellite base.
