Reaching the desired effect, Xinyan confidently said, "Everything will get better. Even for Granny Zhang, I must make an effort."
Emphasizing ’must make an effort’ was, of course, to find a reason for the upcoming school search. Only education can offer a way out. It’s also indirectly letting everyone know she wasn’t lying; she really was excellent in academics.
Having said what she needed to say, Xinyan stopped speaking. Everyone still thought she was worried about those debts. It can be said this was a beautiful misunderstanding.
After dinner, the doctor checked Ye Siyan and said, "You can go home now, but be sure to be careful. The temperature is unstable now. Children are prone to catching colds and having fevers, so parents must pay extra attention."
Since children are naturally prone to recurrent colds, Xinyan was also worried that the child might have a fever again at night, so she quietly asked He Jinxuan, "Do we have any fever-reducing medicine at home?"
The doctor smiled and said, "That’s why they say women are more attentive. Better prescribe some more fever medicine to take home. Take it once more tonight to stabilize, and observe for one more day. If there’s no fever, then everything’s fine."
So, after getting the prescribed medicine, wrapping Ye Siyan tightly again in the military green blanket from before, Xinyan then left the hospital with Ye Silai carrying the lunchbox.
Watching the two adults and one child leave, He Jinxuan felt an indescribable sensation in his heart, but soon he had no time to think about this.
Because someone from the factory came, "Director He, feeling better?"
He Jinxuan saw it was the leaders from the factory office. Behind them were two police officers, and he immediately understood, "Is there progress in the case?"
The police officers nodded at him, "Yes, we have caught them all, and they have confessed without denial."
The factory director was somewhat excited at this time, "Director He, this time you have made a great contribution."
He Jinxuan looked at him puzzled, thinking, "Wasn’t it just about catching some hooligans? How is this a great contribution?"
The factory director saw he didn’t understand and smiled, turning to the two police officers, "Why don’t you explain?"
One tall police officer spoke, "Let’s talk outside so we don’t disturb everyone’s rest."
He Jinxuan naturally understood the hidden meaning in the words of this police officer named Xiao Tie, nodded, and said, "Alright."
But the patients and family members in the room loudly shouted, "We really don’t mind the disturbance. You might as well say it here. We’re curious too." But they couldn’t say it and just watched as people flocked around He Jinxuan out of the ward.
They didn’t go far, borrowed a duty room from the doctor, and another police officer stood at the door. The meaning was clear, that is, not to let people approach.
Once everyone sat down, Xiao Tie began, "Director He, those few pickpockets you caught that day are not just ordinary petty thieves. Behind them is a major inter-city criminal gang, with clear divisions of theft, transfer, and selling of stolen goods.
So this case was not concluded until now. We came here, firstly, to express our gratitude, and secondly, to congratulate you. The provincial and municipal authorities have commended your heroic performance. However, considering the protection of you and your family’s safety, there will be no commendation meeting, and we hope you can understand."
He Jinxuan truly did not expect those few petty thieves to be involved in something so deep, but Factory Director Gao Mingde was already beyond excited, "Director He, you must not feel emotional about this matter.
This morning, I was still summoned to the city. The city leaders highly praised our Mechanical Factory and gave a high evaluation of your performance this time. This is priceless; you have made a mark with the city leaders."
