Chapter 13: It’s Scanner Day

Perhaps out of guilt, the couple didn’t eavesdrop by the wall anymore.

But Xiao Ding wasn’t intimidated, his mental fortitude was still quite good!

At this time, Ye Qinglan called out to Yang Wenying, who was still scolding: “Mom, come back and eat something first. Rest after you’re done. I’m going out later.”

Yang Wenying snorted coldly at 403 and came back.

“You’re going out again?”

“Yes, I might come back tonight, or I might not.” Ye Qinglan thought for a moment and asked: “Should I get you a day shift job? You’re always on the night shift, and Jiaojiao is home alone.”

Yang Wenying instantly looked at her, as if saying, you’re so casual about such a big matter.

But she quickly reacted: “No, I’m used to it here. We’re all old neighbors, it’s lively when we go to work together. Besides, there’s a night shift allowance, and there are others around at night, if anything happens, everyone can hear it. From now on, I’ll bring Jiaojiao with me when I work the night shift.”

She thought to herself, it’s not that easy to change jobs, you either need favors or money.

She continued: “Don’t look at Xiao Ding and his wife being immoral, but they wouldn’t dare do anything truly bad. Everyone has jobs and families, they still have a bottom line when it comes to doing things. You don’t have to worry about the house, go ahead and do your thing.”

Ye Qinglan nodded upon hearing this.

She changed her clothes, rubbed Ye Jiao’s short fur, and left.

Today was scanner day.

Originally, Commander Xie had asked her to pretend to be a doctor and examine the researcher, but after dinner last night, he decided to change it to an inspection, wanting her to follow him and scan every place in the research institute, truly putting her to good use.

So, in the morning, she went with Commander Xie to see the old leader. The old leader didn’t have any organic lesions in his brain, but there were two remaining shrapnel pieces.

“It should be the shrapnel causing the headaches,” she whispered to Commander Xie.

Commander Xie sighed repeatedly upon hearing this, and told her:

“Old Zhang got this injury on the battlefield back then. He’s had headaches for many years. The medical level was poor back then, they didn’t even find the shrapnel. Before, they thought it was caused by other illnesses. But the medical level is still average now, the medical equipment in our hospital isn’t comprehensive. Anyway, since we’re here, why don’t you give him a full body check?”

“I’ve finished the check,” Ye Qinglan said with embarrassment: “Those two pieces of shrapnel filled me with awe, so I took the liberty. Old Zhang has fluid in his knees, kidney stones, and his heart isn’t very good. I suggest he go to Haicheng as soon as possible to see if he can have surgery.”

Commander Xie patted her shoulder in relief: “Good! Good! You’re such a kind child, I’ll arrange to send him to Haicheng right away.” He also said: “It would be great if you were a doctor.”

Actually, she had once thought about becoming a doctor, but in her previous life, when she was a child, she wasn’t very good at controlling how to use her X-ray vision. Seeing the bodies of various people, their blood, and feces every day was just too…what, so she never wanted to be a doctor again and have contact with people’s bodies.

Commander Xie went to make arrangements, Old Zhang still didn’t understand, and he didn’t want to go.

“It’s just my old ailment. It wasn’t that bad before, now I can just die in pain? I’m being pampered. Xie Hui, don’t waste manpower and resources on me, an old man. People have real things to do. Besides, why go so far? The doctors in our Lingcheng are no good, does that mean the ones in Haicheng are good? No, no, no…”

Commander Xie waved his hand forcefully: “I didn’t hear anything, take him away.”

“Xie Hui! You bastard, you think I’m too old to have a say now? You little brats, put me down, put me down, do you hear me? Oh, I’ve had this problem for over thirty years, and I’m still alive and well! It shows it’s not a big deal. Little Ye, I see you’re a good prospect, do you want to serve in the army?”

When he was being carried onto the car, seeing that Ye Qinglan wasn’t wearing a military uniform, he added another sentence.

Ye Qinglan: “We’ll talk about it when you get back, you go see the doctor first.”

“Okay, okay.”

He didn’t say anything else, the car drove away with Old Zhang pointing and scolding Commander Xie.

Commander Xie told Ye Qinglan: “The older generation is used to being frugal, they want to save everything, they’re afraid of bothering others.”

“Old Zhang has many scars on his body.”

“He’s been through a lot. Come on, I’ll tell you about the time I fought alongside them, I was younger than you back then, only 15 years old.”

“Okay.”

That’s how Ye Qinglan listened to him all the way.

After lunch, she followed him to the research institute in the afternoon. The institute was located in the western city district, close to the suburbs. It was said that this place was full of research personnel. The exterior was unremarkable, just a big courtyard, it looked a bit dilapidated, but there were guards inside and out.

From the moment they left, Ye Qinglan’s X-ray vision was activated.

The car was speeding along the road.

Commander Xie: “We’re almost there.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qinglan grabbed his arm and pointed outside.

Such an unruly action didn’t make Commander Xie unhappy, Xiao Qing always had a reason for doing anything.

He looked in the direction of Ye Qinglan’s finger, it was an unremarkable tree stump.

He looked at the driver in the front: “Pull over, I ate too much at noon, I feel like throwing up from all this bumpy ride. I’ll walk the rest of the way. You take the car in first.”

“Okay.”

The car stopped and they got out.

After the car drove away, Ye Qinglan walked to the tree stump, took a few glances, and suddenly started scolding in a hoarse voice:

“Damn it, those little foreign devils, their ancestors for eight generations must have eaten shit, they have nothing better to do all day, they just know how to sabotage, I’ll sooner or later tear these bastards apart, let their brains fester, their arms become fertilizer…”

She cursed a whole essay in a flurry.

Commander Xie saw her suddenly start cursing and understood, there was wireless equipment inside the tree stump, he didn’t know who installed it, so she just attacked indiscriminately.

He looked around, this place was about three to four hundred meters away from the research institute. Most of the people coming and going on this road were from the institute.

There were soldiers guarding the institute, those foreign devils definitely couldn’t install anything inside. As for this place, although it was also within the scope of the investigation, if they wanted to install something, they could still find a way.

These guys were smart, they hid the equipment in the tree stump, making it hard to find, and this place was easy to overlook during the investigation.

He wasn’t worried about the researchers intentionally leaking secrets, after all, those who could come to do military research had a higher sense of dedication than ordinary people. What was frightening was that someone might lose their mind one day and unconsciously say something while walking.

“You little bastard, stop cursing, ask Xibei to figure out a way later, catch a few for you to play with.”

This Xibei, anyway, they weren’t from Long Country, they could pit anyone against anyone.

Commander Xie finished speaking and winked at the guard, it was installed in this place, then the receiver shouldn’t be far away. The guard understood and went to pass the message and catch people.

“Alright, grandpa, let’s go.”
