The doctor nodded and said, "The elderly man should have had a fever since yesterday, but he didn’t pay much attention to it. As the illness worsened without timely treatment, he fell into a coma.
Fortunately, he was found and sent here, and the old man has a strong will to live. He is temporarily out of danger, but since he’s older, it’s best for him to stay in the hospital for treatment to be safe."
The old secretary Miao Guiping firmly said, "Just follow the doctor’s arrangement. We must ensure the old man recovers quickly."
Afterward, Uncle Zhao was sent to the ward. Seeing that the situation was stable, the factory leader said, "Director He, we’ll trouble you to look after him here for now, and we’ll send someone over to take over soon."
He Jinxuan naturally had no objections, "Understood."
Shortly after they left, Uncle Zhao finally woke up completely and rasped, "Director He, sorry to trouble you."
He Jinxuan certainly wouldn’t take credit, so he mentioned how Xinyan had instructed him to take care of the elderly man, "Uncle Zhao, don’t worry. Once you get through this, good fortune will follow."
The old man, being up in years and constantly hoping for his son’s safe return, was quite willing to hear such auspicious words, "Good, good, thank you."
Although he was on an IV drip, seeing how dry his mouth was, He Jinxuan quickly borrowed an empty canning jar from a familiar patient in the next ward, filled it with some water, and gave the old man a few sips, which made Uncle Zhao feel more comfortable.
It wasn’t until the factory’s arranged personnel arrived that He Jinxuan left.

At Jing University, Xinyan had been overwhelmed these past few days.
The host selection for the National Day performance and the welcome party was underway. She had no interest in it at all, but somehow, she got targeted.
It’s not just her; Jiang Peiqin was also targeted. Everywhere they went these days, someone tried to persuade them. No matter how much they refused, these people wouldn’t give up.
This gave rise to quite a few rumors, claiming they were being deliberately aloof, and saying they were afraid to face the previous year’s campus queen and didn’t dare accept.
Because of all this, her relationship with Jiang Peiqin became even better.
Just after shaking off the pursuers, Jiang Peiqin said, "I found out that someone instructed them to do this."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan immediately frowned, "What does that mean?"
She thought to herself, since arriving at the school, she hadn’t deliberately provoked anyone. If anyone was at odds with her, it would only be Li Yutong, and that was initiated by Yutong alone.
Jiang Peiqin gave her a sidelong glance, "Think from another perspective."
Xinyan squinted at her and jokingly said, "Could it be a matter of love debts?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Peiqin gave Xinyan a thumbs up, "Smart."
Xinyan was stunned, "That’s impossible. We’ve only been at school for a short time. I barely interacted with anyone outside our group or dormitory. Where would a love debt come from?"
Jiang Peiqin rolled her eyes, "You may not have thought about it, but others might."
Xinyan didn’t want to guess anymore and directly asked, "Just tell me the reason."
Jiang Peiqin lay back on the grass, "It’s the vice president of the student council, Qi Changping, who wants to meet us, so he thought of this trick."
Xinyan didn’t know this person, but hearing Jiang Peiqin say so, she figured this person wouldn’t be quite decent, "Then we definitely can’t agree. I have someone, you know."
At this point, Xinyan suddenly thought of the person who stopped Jiang Peiqin that day.
That day, because there were too many people in the dorm, she was too embarrassed to ask, and later, she got busy and forgot about it.
Now interested, Xinyan lay down on the grass like Jiang Peiqin and nudged her with an elbow, "By the way, the person who came to see you at the school that day, was that your boyfriend?"
Jiang Peiqin didn’t reply immediately, only looking up at the sky.
Xinyan wasn’t in a hurry either, just accompanying her. It’s rare to have this moment of leisure; it’s been all about studying or on the way to study these days.
She couldn’t help but miss He Jinxuan a little and wondered how things were going on his end and when he could come over?
Just as she was daydreaming, Jiang Peiqin asked, "Want to know?"
