Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1519 Personal Safety
Liu Haiyu said, "Young people these days are becoming increasingly impersonal."

Xu Chunliang said, "It seems someone forgot what they promised me."

Liu Haiyu certainly remembered that Xu Chunliang had told him not to look for him again, and he had agreed. He smiled and said, "Times change, and things are constantly evolving."

"Oh, I hope you're not here to cause me trouble this time."

Liu Haiyu lowered his voice and said, "You should know that all the members of the design team have mysteriously disappeared, right?"

Xu Chunliang rolled his eyes at him and replied with a nonsensical remark. Liu Haiyu probably suspected him, but so what? He had no evidence. Even if he knew it was him, what could he do?

Liu Haiyu didn't continue speaking, and the two seemed to have suddenly become strangers. It wasn't until the ship docked that Liu Haiyu finally spoke, saying, "We've arrived."

Xu Chunliang stood up, and the two walked out side by side. Liu Haiyu took the initiative to strike up a conversation, saying, "I heard you switched careers to become an actor?"

Xu Chunliang remembered that this guy had originally come to the island as a cook, and deliberately said, "It's hard to find any job these days. What? You're not planning to come back and be a cook again?"

Liu Haiyu chuckled and said, "A good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed."

After leaving the dock, Liu Haiyu pointed in the direction of the parking lot: "Do you want me to give you a ride?" This sentence revealed that he did not come alone.

Xu Chunliang shook his head to indicate that it was not necessary. At this moment, his cousin Zhou Yangming called. Because Xu Chunliang was worried about Su Qing, he had come in a hurry and forgot about his appointment with him. He did not admit his negligence and told Zhou Yangming that he had something to do at the last minute. He and Zhou Yangming agreed to come to Weishan Island separately and contact each other when they arrived.

Liu Haiyu had already left while I was making the phone call.

"Director Xu!" Xu Chunliang heard someone call his name and looked in the direction of the voice. It was Zhang Haitao, his former driver at the hospital. In recent years, Xu Chunliang had been frequently transferred, but Zhang Haitao had never left Weishan Island. After Xu Chunliang left Weishan Island, he relied on Xu Chunliang's help to find a temporary job in the local comprehensive law enforcement office. At the end of last year, the organization was streamlined, and temporary workers like him were laid off.

Zhang Haitao decided to start a day tour business, and after a period of time, he did quite well.

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "Haitao, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Haitao said, "I come here to pick up the tour group every day."

Xu Chunliang then noticed the triangular flag in his hand, which read "Haitao Tourism".

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "You've gone into business and become a boss?"

Zhang Haitao said, "What boss? I'm a laid-off worker seeking re-employment."

Xu Chunliang was unaware of his current situation and thought he was still working in the town. Upon hearing that he had been laid off, he immediately offered to help him contact other organizations.

Zhang Haitao declined his offer, as his career was just beginning and he was quite satisfied with his current situation.

The tour group he was assigned to arrived, a total of more than ten people. Zhang Haitao asked his wife to go and meet the group first.

Seeing that he was busy, Xu Chunliang didn't want to keep him any longer and planned to say goodbye and leave. However, Zhang Haitao warmly invited him to get on the tour bus, since he was passing by the film and television base anyway and could take Xu Chunliang there.

Xu Chunliang boarded his minibus, and Zhang Haitao's wife enthusiastically introduced the day's itinerary to the passengers. The passengers were all excited and full of anticipation for the upcoming trip.

Xu Chunliang realized that Weishan Island had changed. Along the way, he saw many houses under construction. Zhang Haitao told him that they would all be homestays in the future. Although the development of tourism on Weishan Island was slow, the overall number of tourists was increasing. During the recent May Day holiday, there was even a situation where it was difficult to find a room.

When passing by the winery's hot springs, Xu Chunliang saw that the gate was locked and there was a warning sign next to it that said "No Entry". He asked Zhang Haitao and learned that the ancient cellar area was being excavated.

Recalling Xue Anning's recent visit to Wang Jinwu to arrange a tour of the winery's hot springs, Xu Chunliang vaguely felt that there was a connection between the two.

Zhang Haitao said, "Director Xu, the island will change even more in two years. Xianhong Farm will be moved away, and the entire Weishan Island scenic area will be upgraded. I heard that they are also going to create a 5A-level scenic area."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "It's still a long way from the 5A standard." After all, Weishan Island Tourist Area doesn't even qualify as 4A yet, while Weishan Lake Scenic Area in Jeju has already passed the 4A standard and is currently working towards 5A. It is estimated that it has a high probability of being approved this year. Could it be that Weishan Island also wants to use this concept to hype itself up?
Zhang Haitao said, "Anyway, we feel that the island has changed a lot. After Secretary Mei took office, he attached great importance to our Weishan Island. Unlike in the past when it was all talk and no action, now the policies are being implemented in a real and practical way."

Xu Chunliang nodded without speaking. He and Mei Ruxue had not discussed official business during their recent meetings.

The minibus had arrived at the entrance of the film and television base. Visiting the film and television base was one of the activities planned. Zhang Haitao greeted the security guard and then drove in.

There were no film crews shooting at the film and television base at the moment. Xu Chunliang got off the car, while Zhang Haitao continued to lead the tourists to visit the empty film and television base.

Xu Chunliang arrived at the hotel lobby and saw several crew members dragging large and small bags of luggage, preparing to leave. It seemed that Cheng Yuwu and Yang Linlin's communication about returning to headquarters had not gone smoothly.

He called Su Qing and learned that she wasn't at the hotel, but had gone out for a run.

Su Qing asked him to wait a moment, and soon returned. Her face was flushed from exercising. When she saw Xu Chunliang, she smiled and said, "I told you you didn't need to come all the way here."

Xu Chunliang said, "I mainly missed you."

Su Qing spat, "Could it be any more fake?"

Xu Chunliang was relieved to see that she was safe and sound. Perhaps Su Tianyu was deliberately exaggerating to create tension. However, Liu Haiyu's appearance on Weishan Island was probably not accidental. Feng Mingjun was only his biological mother. If she knew the truth, she might see him as the murderer of her son.

Su Qing told Xu Chunliang that the latest news she received this morning indicated that the project was most likely to be suspended. According to Cheng Yuwu, the company had not explicitly stated that it would stop the project, nor was it just targeting their production team; several TV series currently in production had been halted.

Xu Chunliang nodded. With the change of leadership in the company, Yuan Dongchang replacing Hua Zhuyue as CEO, it was normal that a comprehensive evaluation of the company would be conducted before a decision could be made. Su Qing said, "If you hadn't come, I would have already returned to Nanjiang."

Xu Chunliang said, "What's the rush? Anyway, you've taken a long leave, so there's nothing to do even if you go back."

Su Qing said, "I still have some work to finish, and I'll take advantage of this time to complete it."

Hsu Chun-liang laughed and said, "You're still as dedicated as ever."

Su Qing said, "You were the one who recommended me to go there, so I can't let you and Secretary Xing down."

Xu Chunliang thought of Su Tianyu and asked indirectly, "Has anything unusual happened in the past two days?"

Su Qing said, "What's special? Apart from the production being suspended, there's nothing special."

Xu Chunliang said, "That's good."

Su Qing said, "I'll go take a shower and change my clothes first."

Xu Chunliang nodded: "I'll go with you."

Su Qing said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm not a child anymore, I don't need you to accompany me for everything."

Just then, someone walked towards them: "Mr. Xu, what a coincidence."

When Xu Chunliang saw that the person who came was actually Mo Han, he couldn't help but frown. When did she arrive at Weishan Island? Why didn't he receive any news about her?

Mo Han smiled at Su Qing: "Miss Su is here too."

Su Qing smiled and said, "I've been here the whole time, but why didn't I see Miss Mo before?"

Mo Han said, "I arrived yesterday and am staying here. I guess we just missed each other, but the road here is too narrow, so we still met, didn't we?"

Su Qing smiled calmly: "Chunliang, wait for me a moment, I'll be right down."

Xu Chunliang nodded, not wanting to follow any further. He was also curious about Mo Han's arrival. After Su Qing left, he stared at Mo Han and asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Mo Han scoffed and said, "This is a hotel open to the public. Why can't I come here?"

Xu Chunliang said, "There are so many hotels on Weishan Island, but you chose this one at the film and television base."

"My pleasure."

Xu Chunliang lowered his voice and asked, "Were you following me?"

Mo Han said, "You overestimate yourself. Don't worry, the reason I'm dating you is definitely not because of your personal charm."

Xu Chunliang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. I was just afraid you had ulterior motives towards me."

"Don't worry." Mo Han glanced in the direction of the elevator: "You'd better hurry up and go with us, or you'll miss something good."

Xu Chunliang almost laughed, feeling that Mo Han's words had a slightly sour tone.

Xu Chunliang said, "Waiting here is the same. You still haven't told me why we came to Weishan Island this time?"

Mo Han went to the lobby and got two cups of coffee. She handed one of them to Xu Chunliang, and the two found a quiet corner to sit down. From there, they could see the elevator entrance, and Xu Chunliang could keep an eye on the guests coming and going. Su Tianyu's reminder and Liu Haiyu's appearance made him worry about Su Qing's personal safety.

There weren't many guests at the hotel. After Su Qing entered the elevator, she didn't see anyone come in or out for quite a while.

Mo Han said, "The ancient cellar has been sealed off; it's said that an investigation is being conducted."

Xu Chunliang said, "That's normal. There have always been people eyeing that side of the deal, and you're no exception."

Mo Han said, "We've already dug three feet into the ground, what else could we possibly find?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Didn't you come here this time specifically for this matter?"

Mo Han said, "It seems you've forgotten what you promised me."

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "I didn't promise you anything."

Mo Han said, "I originally wanted to tell you some things, but since you're so insincere, I'll pass."

Xu Chunliang said, "I hate your sausage-cutting style of doing things the most. Just say what you mean, stop beating around the bush and keeping me in suspense."
