The News Reaches the Lu Family

While the two of them were talking it over, they were sure everything would go smoothly. But they never expected that the news of their planned transfer would be directly opposed by Qiao Zhi.

"Although you have a car, the journey is long. What if something happens along the way?" he demanded sharply.

Lu Jianan, maintaining his composure, replied, "Staying here offers no solution. If she stays here long-term, it's still a matter of life and death. So, we want to take this opportunity to send her to the capital. Suitable arrangements have already been made there. She’ll have the best treatment and be looked after by her close family, which is far better than staying here."

He also thought that if Lu Hang’s approach didn’t work, having her family call her name might help her regain consciousness.

Qiao Zhi had no way to refute this and simply said, "You go and apply to the higher-ups. If they approve, I’ll let her go."

Currently, he was in charge of Lin Nannan's case and could not let anyone leave without guarantees.

"Alright, we’ll make the necessary arrangements!" Lu Jianan nodded in agreement.

Lu Hang and the others thought the matter would be easily resolved, but unexpectedly, word spread and reached the Lu family.

This started when Lu Yuan, after seeing Lu Hang, became visibly upset and was taken out by Zhuang Guohua.

Lu Yuan was quite agitated and kept talking to Zhuang Guohua after they left, completely unaware that someone from their village had passed by.

After the villager recognized Lu Yuan, they didn’t think much of it, but then heard the news that Lin Nannan was hospitalized and in critical condition. They immediately returned to tell Grandma Lu, and soon the whole family knew.

The next day, Lu Hang fetched a basin of water to wash Lin Nannan’s face, but as soon as he opened the door, he ran into his parents and relatives who had rushed over.

"A-Hang, is it really you?" Seeing her son, who shouldn’t have been there, Grandma Lu called out, her voice trembling, sending a chill through everyone’s hearts.

They had so hoped the news brought by the villagers was false, but upon seeing Lu Hang, they knew it was all true.

"Grandma, Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, why are you all here?" Lu Hang was caught off guard at the sight of them.

"What exactly happened?" Zhang Xiaofeng, who had a quick temper, looked at her son and asked anxiously, "Why did the villagers say Nan Nan had an accident and is in critical condition? What actually happened?"

Knowing there was no avoiding them, he stepped aside to let them in.

He, who had originally gone to fetch water, ended up not going after all, as his aunt took over instead.

With the Lu family’s arrival, the ward became even more crowded.

As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Nannan lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and bloodless, completely unresponsive. Their hearts immediately went out to her, and they pressed Lu Hang for answers.

"She was in the mountains with A-Yuan. How could this have happened?" They still couldn’t accept it.

They had been worried about Nan Nan being affected by the frequent "bang bang" sounds in the mountains, but since things had been calm so far, they thought everything was fine. They never expected such a major incident to occur so quietly.

Lu Hang had no choice but to comfort them and explain Nan Nan’s current condition, which brought Zhang Xiaofeng to tears.

"What do you mean she won’t wake up? She’s a grown person with no visible injuries. How could she not wake up?" She couldn’t accept this answer and couldn’t help but hold Nan Nan’s hand and cry.

"I thought it looked safe, but I never expected it to end like this!" Lu Fang clenched his fists, filled with regret.

Grandma Lu’s heart ached, and tears fell like rain as she lamented, "If we had known it would be like this, we shouldn’t have let her push herself. It would’ve been better for her to stay home. The family could’ve chatted and laughed together, looking forward to a good harvest next year. That kind of life is better than anything."

Lu Hang could neither explain nor refute this.

He had supported Lin Nannan in venturing out. Her talents shouldn’t have been confined to their small village.

Even in this life-or-death situation, he still felt that Grandma was right.

A family reunion is more important than anything!

"Grandma," he had been keeping a close eye, afraid she might faint from distress. But before Grandma could say much, her vision went dark, and she collapsed.

Then there was another round of commotion before they finally got Grandma settled in.

While Pan Xiaoping took care of Grandma Lu, the others returned to Lin Nannan's hospital room.

"Dad, Mom," Lu Hang noticed they were struggling to keep their composure. Knowing that Nan Nan's condition and Grandma's fainting had put immense pressure on them, he explained carefully, "The results here are not satisfactory. I want to take Nan Nan to Beijing—they have the best medical care there. Besides, Du Du is waiting for us in Beijing."

Although Zhang Xiaofeng had controlled her emotions, her quiet crying was making everyone tear up.

As soon as she heard her son's words, she immediately objected, "In this condition, is Nan Nan in any condition to travel?"

"She is. The doctors there are better!" Lu Hang replied firmly, then added seriously, "If you just don’t believe me, I can ask Lu Jianan to come over. You know him well."

Since they had all served in the military, they all knew Lu Jianan.

"I'll go with you!" Zhang Xiaofeng said immediately.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Hang would have agreed, but this time he shook his head and said, "Mom, Lu Jianan and I will take good care of Nan Nan on the way. We’ll be traveling nonstop, day and night. It’s not suitable for you to come along unless you take the train to Beijing. I can arrange for someone to pick you up there."

In Beijing, with the Lin and Zhang families around, arranging for someone to be picked up wouldn’t be a problem.

The reason he didn’t want his mother to come along was mainly because Nan Nan needed to take medication during the journey. If Nan Nan woke up, it would be fine, but if anything unexpected happened, he was afraid that his mother wouldn’t be able to handle it, and he wouldn’t be able to take care of her.

Zhang Xiaofeng didn't want to accept this, but Lu Fang stopped her.

"With A Hang here, Nan Nan will be well taken care of. In Beijing, the Lin family will also be there. If you go along, you would only be a distraction for A Hang," Lu Fang persuaded her. "After they leave, we’ll take the train to Beijing!"

Seeing that Lu Fang agreed with their son, Zhang Xiaofeng had no choice but to relent.

She felt she could take care of herself and was worried about her unconscious daughter-in-law, but since everyone disagreed, she had to compromise.

Meanwhile, as Lu Hang was persuading his family, Lu Jianan made a proposal to the higher-ups, explaining that the current treatment was ineffective for Lin Nannan and that delaying further would only worsen her condition. The best solution was to transfer her to Beijing...

The higher-ups trusted Lu Jianan’s medical expertise, so his proposal was quickly approved. Beijing hospitals had already made preparations, waiting for them to bring Lin Nannan over.

This news reached both him and Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi was explicitly informed that Lu Jianan would be fully responsible for Lin Nannan’s affairs from then on, including escorting her to Beijing. Lu Jianan would be the only doctor accompanying her.

This made Qiao Zhi feel that something was off, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint what it was.
