Chapter 177

Xia Zhi was surprised that things went so smoothly. She got up and helped Xu Ruqian sit down. Even Liang Huai'an, who was talking to Li Jianguo, couldn't help but quiet down and stared at them nervously.

Seeing this, Li Jianguo got up and led his men out, leaving Xia Zhi and the chief's family inside.

"Beiting, come with me. I have some questions for you."

Li Jianguo walked to Lu Beiting's side.

He came not only to see Xia, but also to find him for a few other important reasons.

Li Jianguo nodded and followed Zhang Yi.

"The spy you asked us to investigate last time has been found. We've been sending people to keep an eye on them for the past few days, and we've finally found some leverage over them."

Then there was some activity from Chen Xinghan's side as well.

As he spoke, Li Jianguo's brow remained furrowed; none of these matters were trivial.

"The spies on that side are either there to pick up Li Baozhu or Chen Xinghan. It's suspicious that they're together. Keep a close eye on the situation here during this time."

After listening, Lu Beiting nodded solemnly.

“It’s alright, it’s never a bad thing to make plans early, but if you hear that Chen Xinghan has arrived here, you must call me as soon as possible.” Li Jianguo glared ahead, he had been waiting for revenge for his wife and daughter for a long time.

"Yes, sir."

In the ward, after taking her pulse, Xia Zhi asked a few simple questions.

Xu Ruqian answered each question, looking at Xia Zhi in front of her with a mixture of hope and despair.

Over the years, she has consulted doctors, both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners, and received a lot of prescriptions, but none of them worked. Eventually, she gave up hope.

“Dr. Xia, my wife’s illness…” Liang Huai’an looked at her with a rare hint of unease.

If this doesn't work, I'm afraid Qianqian will never see a doctor again.

Xia Zhi smiled and comforted the two of them, "Actually, Madam Liang's health has been fine all these years, it's just that she's still a little lacking."

As Xia Zhi spoke, she went to the luggage next to her and took out the acupuncture kit.

Liang Huai'an and Xu Ruqian were clearly still reeling from her words.

So is this good or bad?

"Madam Liang, don't worry, it can be cured. Just if I may ask, how old are you this year?"

Xia Zhi asked while arranging the needles.

It's fine to take care of your health, but if you want to have children, the risks are still very high for older mothers.

"Just forty."

Xia Zhi's expression softened upon hearing this.

"If Chief Liang and his wife are planning to have a child, they need to recuperate for six months."

Upon hearing Xia Zhi's words, the two of them were surprised and came to their senses.

Xu Ruqian looked at her in disbelief, "Dr. Xia, is this for real?"

Xia Zhi smiled slightly, "Really."

Xu Ruqian's breath hitched for a few seconds as she turned to look at Liang Huai'an beside her.

After regaining his senses, Liang Huai'an said happily, "Haha, as expected of Dr. Xia, then I'll have to trouble you with Madam."

"Yes, no need to be so polite, Chief Liang."

When Lu Beiting and the others opened the door, they saw Liang Huai'an and Xu Ruqian crying tears of joy, and they knew that there was no problem with the matter.

Looking at Lu Beiting, Liang Huai'an couldn't help but say, "Beiting, you've really married a good wife."

Then he looked at Li Jianguo with some envy.

This old leader really has a good eye for people.

"Thank you for your kind words, Chief Liang." Lu Beiting smiled faintly. His wife had been giving him surprises for quite some time now.

After agreeing on a time for monthly home visits with Xia Zhi, Liang Huai'an left with Xu Ruqian.

After leaving, he specifically instructed the hospital to take good care of him.

The next day, after Xia Zhi was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Lu Beiting and Zhang Yi went to take Li Jianguo home.

Shen Hangzhi and Xia Zhi sat in the living room. After looking at the sleeping baby, Xia Zhi turned to look at Shen Hangzhi beside her.

"Brother Shen, are you coming to Beijing again to go to the military base?"

Given the Shen family's resources, Shen Hangzhi could easily get into the military if he wanted to.

Shen Hangzhi remained silent for a while before finally humming in agreement.

He could only obtain the information he needed within the military.

Xia Zhi nodded, and after thinking for a while, she understood why he did this.

When Lu Beiting returned, he went straight to Xia Zhi and sat down.

Looking at the child in the wooden bed, Lu Beiting frowned; his vacation was coming to an end.

"Xiaxia, after school starts in Nan'an next year, I'll find someone to take care of Ping'an and An'an. When they're a little older, I'll take them to the army."

Hearing his words, Xia Zhi immediately curled her lips, "You're taking him to the army? You're not going to do anything? Don't leave a bad impression on people as soon as you arrive."

Lu Beiting sighed helplessly after hearing this, "Then come with me to the family compound after the full moon celebration. We'll separate again after school starts in Nan'an?"

After he joined the army, he could still look after things in his spare time.

Xia Zhi nodded after listening, "Sure."

After the baby turned one month old, Lu Beiting led his men directly to the military base.

When they arrived at the door, Li Weimin came to greet them with his men.

"Beiting, sister-in-law, your accommodations have been arranged long ago. Come with me."

Lu Beiting carried one in each arm and a bag on his back, while Zhang Yi's hands and back were also full.

Xia Zhi followed behind the group empty-handed, curiously looking around at this new place.

It's bigger and cleaner here than Nanfang, and there are far more people here too.

It's roughly the size of a university town.

People on the street also looked over curiously.

Upon arriving at the location, Xia Zhi looked at the family compound in front of her, which consisted of a row of small bungalows, with the dormitory on the other side.

"Zhang Yi from Beiting, come with me to report first, then come back and pack up."

Li Weiming stood at the door.

"it is good."

Lu Beiting and Zhang Yi put down what they were carrying and followed them up.

Xia Zhi looked at the sun shining through the doorway and held her baby while sunbathing at the door.

Hearing the commotion, several people from nearby houses curiously peeked out.

"Hey, what's your husband's job?" the woman next door asked Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi smiled and looked over, "Sorry, I don't know either."

"Huh, this woman really doesn't care about her man at all, she doesn't know anything."

Their gazes met in the air; ordinary soldiers wouldn't have been assigned to this side.

Xia Zhi smiled but remained silent.

"Hey, are these twins? Boy or girl?" The aunt on the other side looked at the baby in her arms with eyes full of love.

"They are twins, a boy and a girl."

"Oh, what a lucky guy."

Xia Zhi chatted with her neighbor with a smile, and soon Lu Beiting returned, followed by Qin Beishan.

"Sister-in-law." Qin Beishan said, plopping down on the steps next to Xia Zhi, then craning his neck to look at her curiously.

Xia Zhi smiled and stuffed herself directly into his arms.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Qin Beishan was shocked, but dared not get up.

"Haha, Qin Beishan, look at you, so pathetic," Zhang Yi laughed and scolded.

"Tch." Qin Beishan looked down. "Sister-in-law, when are you going to take a picture of the child? I'll send it back to Lanlan; she's been talking about it for ages."
