Chapter 69: How Did You Happen to Meet Her

In the hospital ward, Kong Yizhang walked in carrying a bag of fruit: "Fu Yan Cheng, how are you feeling? Any better?"

Fu Yan Cheng, having lost too much blood, looked very pale: "I won't die."

Kong Yizhang placed the items in his hands on the bedside table: "If it weren't for Comrade Liu, you'd be in serious trouble this time. I met that Miss earlier and managed to pass your message along."

Hearing him mention the young girl, Fu Yan Cheng thought of that day's scene, and his thoughts drifted far away.

Hearing the person standing nearby chuckle, he raised his gaze and met his brother's probing, half-smiling eyes, then cleared his throat to cover up: "How did you happen to meet her?"

Kong Yizhang pulled over a nearby stool and sat down: "Her father was injured working at the construction site, and the commune clinic had limited conditions..."

He hadn't finished speaking when Fu Yan Cheng interrupted: "Is it serious?"

Kong Yizhang casually took a pear from the net bag and took a direct 'crunch' bite: "Mm, Vice Dean Sun said it's a comminuted fracture. He needs proper rest after surgery. As for the rest, I didn't have time to ask much more."

Stopping there, Kong Yizhang looked at Fu Yan Cheng seriously: "Once you recover, you really should thank her properly. After all, her father was already injured and hospitalized before she saved you. In that situation, she was still willing to waste time helping you; that's truly rare and precious. And..."

Seeing him stop there, Fu Yan Cheng asked: "And what?"

Kong Yizhang sighed: "Just to be safe, I had someone investigate her background..."

He then recounted everything he knew in full detail.

It had to be said that Kong Yizhang's people were truly capable; they even uncovered her relationship with the Chen family, and even discovered such a hidden matter as the transaction between the Chen family's eldest daughter-in-law and the Liu family's main branch.

Fu Yan Cheng's face darkened: "That explains it."

Kong Yizhang didn't understand his meaning: "What are you saying?"

Fu Yan Cheng didn't continue further. For some reason, he strangely didn't want anyone to know about what happened in the cave that day, after all, it concerned a young lady's reputation.

Let Kong Yizhang believe that the Miss had accidentally discovered him and saved him, and offered her help.

Kong Yizhang swallowed the last bite of pear: "Should we notify your family about your injury?"

At that time, due to the urgency of the situation, plus the spy hidden within the team hadn't been caught yet, and for Fu Yan Cheng's safety, he wasn't sent back to the military hospital.

Naturally, no one knew about his injury and hospitalization.

Fu Yan Cheng waved his hand: "No need, I can take care of myself."

Realizing he was indeed only weak from excessive blood loss, Kong Yizhang didn't insist: "Alright then, I'll arrange for someone to bring you meals every day."

Fu Yan Cheng glanced toward the door: "How are things being handled?"

Kong Yizhang also looked at the door and deliberately lowered his voice: "The item has been retrieved, but we still can't confirm who the traitor is. I plan to go to Changping again later."

Remembering something: "I've already had my eldest brother contact Official Yao. This matter won't pass through anyone else's hands; just focus on recovering."

Fu Yan Cheng nodded lightly: "Thanks for your hard work."

Kong Yizhang rolled his eyes at him: "Being polite with your own brother? You've really grown up."

Suddenly, he smiled mysteriously and leaned closer to Fu Yan Cheng: "By the way, I ran into Auntie a few days ago. Guess what I heard?"

Seeing his expression, Fu Yan Cheng knew it wasn't good news; he knew that guy's personality best: "Say it if you want, but I won't force you if you don't."
