"Keep an eye on this Gu Haiqing, and also keep an eye on Chu Fenglei," Beisitian said to the two of them.
Tian Zhi nodded imdiately.
She didn’t directly tell them about the conversation she’d just had with Gu Haiqing. After the two each went to rest, she contacted Bei Jiale, who didn’t know where she had run off to; she kept feeling like she could hear the sound of the sea through the phone.
She told Bei Jiale everything that had been said just now. Bei Jiale was silent for a long ti before finally saying, "No wonder. Makes wonder which mountain the Bei Family used to live on."
"Can you be serious for once?" Beisitian said with a blank face.
She always felt that every ti she talked to Bei Jiale, she would get so angry it was killing her.
"I’m always serious. If we could find the Bei Family’s mountain, we’d probably be able to find so clues too. Sis, you didn’t ask?" Bei Jiale brushed a lock of hair back behind her ear as she looked at the vast sea in front of her.
That actually hadn’t occurred to her.
"I don’t know if what Gu Haiqing said is true. Can you look into this person? And also the Cloud Sea Sect and Tianyao Sect. For now I only know those two nas."
"I can give it a try. No idea if there are any handso guys among them," Bei Jiale said with a soft laugh.
Not far away, Zhao Yilun’s ears suddenly pricked up when he heard that, a wary look on his face.
Beisitian pursed her lips. "Hurry up and find soone to marry you. You’re not exactly young anymore..."
"Now that I don’t like hearing. How old do you think I am? I’m only 18!"
Beisitian’s eyelid twitched. She took a deep breath and tried to get back on topic. "I was just thinking, if everything Gu Haiqing said is true, then maybe we can find so Hidden Families that were on friendly terms with the Bei Family back then. That way we’ll get a lot more information."
"That’s true. But I feel like Gu Haiqing probably doesn’t know that much about the Bei Family. Otherwise, before convincing you, he should have already revealed more. Of course, that’s all assuming everything he said is true."
"Mm. Another thing is, we still don’t know what Gu Haiqing’s actual stance is."
"Alright, alright, I’ll go dig around. Wait for my news. Oh right, I found the dicinal materials to test Little Ruirui’s constitution. I’ve already packed them up and sent them to you. Rember to pick them up. And don’t forget to transfer the postage. I’m so broke lately I jingle when I walk... Hello? Hello?" Bei Jiale glanced at the already hung-up call, looking utterly incredulous.
"Why do I have such a stingy older sister?"
Her voice was carried off by the sea breeze, dissipating into the sound of the waves.
After hanging up, Beisitian went to sleep, tossing and turning until late at night before finally drifting off—and that was only because she forced herself to sleep, thinking of going to the Hao Family the next day.
She’d gotten so much information all at once that she needed ti to digest it slowly. Still, this trip to Jiang City had definitely not been in vain. Whether it all turned out to be true or not, at least there were now leads to follow.
The next morning, Beisitian stayed put in the hotel the whole ti. She was digesting yesterday’s content. At this point, the only people she could trust one hundred percent, without reservation, were Bei Jiale, the old man, and Luo Xudong.
She didn’t intend to drag the old man into this matter, so he was off the table. Luo Xudong had already started his investigation on his end as well. They would advance together from both sides; hopefully they could get confirmation as soon as possible.
After lunch, Beisitian and Qin Xinyu drove to the Hao Family. Perhaps because she now knew Chu Fenglei’s identity, when she saw him again, her feelings were sowhat different.
If what Gu Haiqing said was true, then Chu Fenglei was soone from a Hidden Family—was that why he had achieved so much?
Although Chu Fenglei wasn’t as strong as she was, he had already stepped into the ranks of Great Power!
If everyone from Hidden Families were monsters like that, it would be terrifying. No wonder Gu Haiqing had said she had no idea what kind of storm it would stir up if the Hidden Families surfaced.
Gu Haiqing’s level was a bit inferior to Chu Fenglei’s. He counted as a formidable figure among those in Spiritual Talisman, on par with Wei Zhongyuan.
This ti, when Beisitian treated Hao ili, Luo Yirui stood off to the side observing. Most of the illnesses his mom treated were quite strange, so he actually didn’t want to miss any of these observations—he was only held back by his age.
Perhaps it was thanks to the first day they’d spent together, but this ti everyone was much more at ease around each other. During idle chatter, Yu Junpei even brought up the scene when he’d first run into the three little ones.
He noticed that every ti he talked about that, Beisitian was very interested. He didn’t know whether it was because she missed her own child, or simply because she liked hearing stories about kids.
These past two days he kept seeing Doctor Bei zoning out—probably thinking about her own child.
On the second day, after Hao ili drank the talismanic water, her condition changed noticeably, especially in terms of physical function: her breathing beca steady, her heartbeat started trending toward normal, and after drinking the talismanic water, there had been no more episodes of foaming at the mouth and rapid breathing.
Sun Bingyang took so of Hao ili’s blood for testing and discovered that not only had the activity decreased, its quantity had actually plumted!
Yes—plumted!
Sun Bingyang did a rough estimate: the number of active bacteria had decreased by at least one fifth! That figure was already quite massive.
"Doctor Bei really lives up to her reputation—she was actually able to co up with a thod like this. In the past, whenever I encountered a case with active bacteria, I always felt completely helpless. I always thought we had to understand the properties of the active bacteria first before we could treat the disease!" Sun Bingyang exclaid sincerely.
"Exactly. Our thinking has just been too rigid!" Yu Junpei nodded along.
The goatee stroked his beard. "Honestly, I wasn’t entirely convinced about Doctor Bei before. After all, Doctor Bei is excessively young, about the sa age as my granddaughter. But now this old man is utterly convinced!"
The round glasses nodded as well; he felt the sa.
Beisitian smiled. "You’re all exaggerating. Everyone has their own thods, and everyone is limited by their own thinking patterns. Otherwise, why would we communicate and learn from each other?"
Everyone admired Beisitian’s dical skills and abilities, and admired her character even more. To have such a foundation and still be this humble—none of them old fogeys could manage that.
So for so people, their achievents are not a coincidence. The road is walked by oneself; it all depends on how you choose to walk it.
That day, Beisitian stayed at the Hao Family for dinner again. By now, no one found it strange—after all, Beisitian herself didn’t put on any airs.
When she was about to leave, Chu Fenglei held Luo Yirui’s hand and walked out to see her off. Only like this could Luo Yirui openly send his mom away.
Beisitian got into the car, and Chu Fenglei suddenly leaned down against the window and said softly to her, "Gu Haiqing ca to you, didn’t he? So you know so things now too?"
Beisitian smiled faintly. "What exactly are you referring to?"
Seeing this, Chu Fenglei just smiled and didn’t say more. As he turned to leave, he added, "Oh right—Gu Haiqing is not a good person. He’s a scumbag. You’d better stay away from him."
