Chapter 221: Am I Not Your Little Treasure?
"Investigate?" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang immediately revealed a somewhat uneasy expression.
"Baobao, do you feel that there is a problem with that Hospital?" Old Madam Jiang asked, lowering her voice.
Jiang Baobao nodded slightly: "Before, Xin'ai said that Uncle's brain has no problems, but since that is the case, why does the Lu Family still make Uncle come to this Hospital for regular check-ups? I always feel like something about it isn't right..."
Jiang Baobao murmured in a low voice, unable to find any leads for the moment, and could not help but feel a bit worried.
Cai Xiaotang, however, encouraged her from the side: "Then I'll go with you to investigate, and we'll find out! We'll go in a little while!"
"You're going with me?" Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat surprised.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately punched her shoulder in dissatisfaction and said: "What kind of expression is that? Is there a problem with me going with you? How could I let you do this kind of thing alone? Of course I have to go with you!"
"Baobao..." Old Madam Jiang suddenly spoke, looking as if she had more to say, with the word 'worry' almost written on her face.
Jiang Baobao hurriedly comforted her: "Grandma, we are just pretending to be patients to scout it out; it won't be much trouble. How about this: I'll call a car to take you home first. Remember to keep that money safe and don't let anyone see it after you get back. If there is any situation, I will contact you in time... If there is an opportunity recently, I will find a way to bring Uncle out again and let Xin'ai help perform some other detailed examinations."
"Then... alright..." Old Madam Jiang finally nodded in agreement and took the opportunity to pull Jiang Chenghao up.
Jiang Baobao sent the two of them to the door, called a car, gave them careful instructions, and only let out a sigh of relief after watching the car drive away.
Cai Xiaotang also couldn't help but feel a bit emotional, muttering in a low voice: "I didn't expect to run into them here... We should still hurry and find a way to bring your Grandma and Uncle out. If they stay there any longer, they will sooner or later be bullied to death by that bunch of terrible people in the Lu Family!"
"I also want to bring them out as soon as possible..." Jiang Baobao replied casually, her face full of helplessness.
As the two spoke, they turned around and looked at the clinic not far away.
Calling it a clinic is actually not as accurate as calling it a small, elegantly decorated Hospital.
Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment, and she suggested: "In a moment, I will pretend to be a patient, and you can just improvise on the spot. We will act according to the situation."
"Okay." Cai Xiaotang agreed readily, and the two walked together toward the direction of the clinic.
Just as they entered the door, they were stopped by a young girl wearing a nurse's uniform.
"The two of you, may I ask if you have an appointment?" the nurse asked with a smile.
"No..." Jiang Baobao shook her head, deliberately putting on a look of extreme pain, and said in a low voice: "My friend and I were out shopping when I suddenly felt a splitting headache. I just happened to see this clinic here, so I wanted to come in and take a look..."
As Jiang Baobao spoke, she quickly scanned the surrounding environment.
She ended up seeing several custom-made large characters hanging on the wall behind the nurse.
【Aikang Physical Rehabilitation and Recovery Center】
This isn't a clinic?
It's just a rehabilitation center?
Jiang Baobao was slightly stunned, a flash of confusion crossing her eyes.
Immediately after, she saw the nurse's expression change instantly as she said sternly: "I'm sorry, two ladies, we only accept patients with appointments and patients with referrals here. If you are feeling unwell, you can take a taxi to a nearby Hospital; it should take about fifteen minutes to get there."
"Isn't this place a Hospital? Why can't you see patients? Don't you have a Doctor here?" Cai Xiaotang hadn't expected to be chased away without even getting through the door, so she immediately pointed to the photos of several doctors posted on the wall and asked.
She then heard the nurse reply with complete indifference: "I'm sorry, those are our rules here. You two had better hurry to a Hospital."
As she spoke, she bent over and made a 'please leave' gesture toward the door.
Cai Xiaotang was somewhat annoyed and wanted to say more, but felt herself being pinched not too lightly and not too heavily by Jiang Baobao.
She reacted instantly.
"Tch, fine, don't help then. Seeing a patient and not even bothering to help—what a lousy rehabilitation center!"
Cai Xiaotang deliberately pretended to be angry as she cursed, carefully supporting Jiang Baobao as they walked out of the clinic door.
The two walked in silence for a distance before Cai Xiaotang let go, her expression somewhat grave as she asked in confusion: "That rehabilitation center... isn't it a bit strange? Generally speaking, the fees at a place like that are much higher than at a public Hospital. How could they push patients away like that?"
"I also think there's something wrong with them... but we couldn't even get inside..."
Jiang Baobao took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the matter was quite tricky.
Why on earth would the Lu Family arrange for Uncle to come here specifically for check-ups?
There must be something wrong with this!
After a long silence, Jiang Baobao said helplessly: "Forget it, let's leave it at this for today. When I have time another day, I'll find a way to bring Uncle out first..."
"That's all we can do." Cai Xiaotang also sighed helplessly, then perked up and said with a smile: "If there's anything you need my help with, just ask! I'll be there whenever you call!"
"Okay! I definitely won't forget you!" Jiang Baobao agreed with a smile.
No sooner had she finished speaking than her cell phone began to ring.
Seeing that it was a call from Shen Lingfeng, she hurriedly pressed answer.
"Hello? Lingfeng? What's wrong?" Jiang Baobao asked casually.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you've left yet? If you haven't, you don't need to come over this afternoon."
Shen Lingfeng's smiling voice sounded over the phone.
Without waiting for Jiang Baobao to ask, he continued to explain: "Several Teams in the country suddenly wanted to play practice matches, and I took the liberty of agreeing. They should be very late finishing today, and you've been very tired these past few days, so just stay home and get some rest."
"Is that so..." Jiang Baobao nodded thoughtfully, pondered for two seconds, and agreed: "Then I won't go over today. After they finish their matches, remember to send me the recordings, or I'll come over to watch tomorrow."
"Okay." Shen Lingfeng agreed.
After chatting about work for a few more sentences, the two hung up the phone.
Cai Xiaotang had heard most of the conversation just now and asked excitedly: "You don't have to work this afternoon? Then do you want to go out and have some fun?"
Jiang Baobao replied immediately without hesitation: "Have fun? What fun! It's rare to have time to rest; I'm going back to spend time with my three little treasures!"
Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaotang immediately pouted on purpose: "Hmph! Am I not your little treasure anymore!"
No sooner had her voice fallen than a 'ding' notification sound came from Jiang Baobao's phone.
It was the sound of someone accepting a ride on the ride-hailing app.
Cai Xiaotang was speechless and punched her shoulder.
"Jiang Baobao! You're way too fast!"
