After arriving at the neighboring hospital, he headed straight for the orthopedic department.
At this hour, the doctors had all finished their shifts, leaving only the duty doctor around, who was nowhere to be seen in the office.
His footsteps changed direction instantly; this time he went directly to the nurse’s station.
Xiao Tang was buried in paperwork, when suddenly a voice called out from above:
Upon seeing the person, Xiao Tang’s face showed utter surprise:
Jiang Ye responded with a hum, his expression not as stern as usual, rather quite friendly.
After all, Xiao Tang was well-liked by his team members!
Besides, he had a particularly good relationship with his wife.
So, there was no choice, even Captain Jiang had to tread carefully, not daring to offend without reason.
"Captain Jiang, did you come here for something?" Xiao Tang quickly asked.
Jiang Ye nodded his head:
"Where did Doctor Lu go for the rural healthcare mission?" He asked directly.
Xiao Tang then suddenly understood and couldn’t help but smile:
"She is in XX village, underneath Nanxi City XX township."
Having received the information he needed, Jiang Ye certainly did not linger any longer:
"How many days will they be there?"
"Alright, thank you, continue with your work."
"Ah, sure, sure, goodbye Captain Jiang."
Upon leaving the hospital, it was clear that Jiang Ye could not just act on impulse and go looking for her.
The squad had plenty of other matters to attend to, and as the Captain, how could he act on a whim?
After all, there were so many eyes watching below.
Better to go back and finish the work before doing anything else.
By the time he finished, it had already turned dark.
Jiang Ye pulled open a drawer, took out his phone, and dialed a number:
"Hello, the phone number you have dialed is currently unavailable, please try again later...."
Great, just like in the morning, no different.
What kind of place was it where even the basic communication signal was non-existent?
Even Jiang Ye couldn’t help being curious.
Now that he had finished what he needed to do, he pulled out a map of Nanxi City, crowded with markings of every location, including the small mountain village where Lu Jing and her team were located.
From the map, the little village seemed incredibly tiny and was not close in distance. Thɪs chapter is updated by noⅴelfire.net
Driving there would take several hours on the highway just to reach the foot of the mountain, then came the mountain roads.
In this short amount of time, Jiang Ye’s mind had already run through several plans, and he decided to work overtime tonight to finish everything before setting off for the small mountain village in the early morning.
He had already been away from his wife for several days due to a business trip; waiting another week before seeing her was something he definitely couldn’t endure.
Forget everything else, it would suffice even to just take a distant glance at her.
On the other side, Doctor Lu, busy examining the legs and feet of villagers, had not thought about so much, nor did she have the time to ponder these things.
"Uncle, I have prescribed some medicine for you, have someone from your family buy it from the pharmacy outside, make sure you use it, got it?"
The old man was in his sixties or seventies and his hearing wasn’t so sharp; speaking with him took quite an effort.
"Ah? Alright, alright, thank you, young lady."
Lu Jing’s throat was hoarse, but she had to continue; there was still a queue waiting.
Who knew how long it would be before they finished as everyone was already worn out with aching backs.
Finally having a moment of respite, Lu Jing was just about to sit down, her buttocks not even touching the bench, when she was called over by Doctor Wei:
"Doctor Lu, come, I need a hand."
She stood up straight and then strode over:
"What’s up?" She asked.
