Chapter 23: Partner? Isn't he already pursuing one?

The aunts, having survived the ordeal, looked gratefully at the military officer who had taken down the suspect.

The aunts who hadn't given up still wanted to ask if this officer had a partner, after all, such a young Regiment Commander was very rare.

"Please make way, everyone. We have things to do, so we'll be going first."

Jiang Ye didn't like being surrounded and treated like merchandise.

Partner? Isn't he already pursuing one?

Don't think he didn't know that these aunts still wanted to dig into his territory and introduce other men to the little girl!

The scarf on Shen Man's neck was carefully wrapped around by the man, circle after circle, and tied into a dead knot.

Throughout the whole process, Jiang Ye didn't give her a chance to speak, took the internal passage, and brought her back to the jeep...

Tangyuan thought to itself that the big shot was worthy of being the Child of Destiny; not to mention his brainpower, his combat power was also top-notch, and he was also a vinegar jar~

*Master, fly bravely; Tangyuan will follow forever~*

*If that doesn't work, let's read more of the storybooks left by Old Ancestor Lu; maybe there are many ways to control men in there! *

In an empty room in the cabin—

Besides the man and woman who had been subdued and tied up, there was also a rescued little boy.

Before long, a doctor came. After an examination, he told the captain that the little boy had been injected with a drug that could knock out even an elephant.

Now the little boy was in danger and had to be sent to the Military Region Hospital for treatment immediately. As for the two suspects, they were to be escorted to the armed department on the Sea Island for deeper interrogation.

On the deck—

Ordinary people carrying large and small bags of things lined up to leave the deck, knowing nothing.

Even the chattering aunts kept their mouths shut about the incident of the suspect wounding people with a knife in the cabin.

There were enemy spies everywhere now; their own people had to band together and not give the enemy spies any opportunity!

Chinese aunts, maintaining the country—everyone has a responsibility!

"Sister Xianxian, hurry up and get on the ox cart, or there won't be any seats left~"

"Hey, coming."

Ji Xianxian tidied the stray hair by her ear and withdrew her gaze.

Just as she had struggled to climb onto the ox cart, a military green jeep happened to drive slowly past in front of her...

She saw the man driving the car reach out and rub the head of the little girl in the passenger seat, smiling wantonly.

So he wasn't incapable of smiling; it was just that he was stingy with his smiles, giving them only to one person...

Inside the jeep—

Shen Man was truly angry. Could a girl's hairstyle be messed up at will?

"Sorry, I couldn't help it just now. It won't happen again."

Jiang Ye's apology came easily. He hadn't expected that he would have such "itchy hands"; it was a completely subconscious act. He just couldn't help but want to tease the little girl and see the vivid expressions on her face.

"There will be a next time?"

Shen Man took a palm-sized small mirror out of her bag, then a horn comb, and combed her hair smooth bit by bit.

But thinking of the female educated youth she had seen in the cabin just now, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

"No."

Jiang Ye corrected his attitude. Both hands were on the steering wheel, he pressed the accelerator lightly, and his speed wasn't fast, taking care of the little girl's feelings.

"I'll forgive you for now."

After Shen Man tidied up her hairstyle, she didn't call him "Brother" anymore and asked directly:

"By the way, if that couple are bad people, how will that child be arranged?"

"Verify their identity and origin, contact the boy's household registration place, and find the boy's relatives."

After Jiang Ye answered briefly, he licked his upper palate with the tip of his tongue. The little girl was truly angry; she didn't even call him "Brother Jiang Ye" anymore.

"Actually, I've studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and know a little bit. That little boy's state wasn't right; it looked like he had been drugged. I only confirmed it after taking his pulse at the time..."

"You've studied Traditional Chinese Medicine? Do you want to continue studying it in the future?"

"Of course I want to, but Traditional Chinese Medicine is weak, and Western medicine is on the rise. Now there is Western medicine everywhere, and old TCM doctors are either tight-lipped about TCM for various reasons, or they only pass it on to men and not women..."

When Shen Man said this, she couldn't help but show a bitter smile.

When she chose to study medicine in her previous life, her family and friends were all happy and praised her for having a future.

When they found out she had chosen Traditional Chinese Medicine, their faces all changed.

When she finally managed to get into university to major in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she didn't expect that the TCM courses in the university's elective courses had all been replaced by Western medicine.

Not only that, as she studied deeper, she realized that Traditional Chinese Medicine was less than one percent of what it used to be.

Those prescriptions, folk remedies, and ancient books left by their ancestors were all incomplete, or even lost.

The inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine had been broken.

It happened that at that time, her mentor told her there was an opportunity for government-funded study abroad. Across the ocean, there was a national university library that collected many Chinese TCM classics.

They didn't lend them out, didn't rent them out, and only recruited international students.

Regardless of what purpose the other party had, Shen Man resolutely accepted this quota at that time.

For her hobby, for the sake of repairing the gap in the inheritance, she bore the curse of being unfilial and went abroad to study for four years...

Fortunately, the night before she agreed to the blind date, she had recorded all the TCM materials and prescriptions she had memorized for many years and organized for two years after returning to China onto a USB drive and sent it to her mentor.

She only hoped that her mentor could organize the contents of the USB drive into a book, repair a corner of the TCM inheritance gap, and let Traditional Chinese Medicine be carried forward to benefit the world.

Jiang Ye listened quietly, and a strange illusion couldn't help but well up in his heart.

Although the little girl was sitting right beside him, she seemed to be separated from him by an invisible chasm, appearing so unreachable.

"If you want to learn, then learn. Whether it's Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western medicine, both can save lives and heal pain.

The two are not mutually exclusive, but can complement each other and bring out the best in each other!"

Hearing this, Shen Man suddenly raised her head, staring straight at Jiang Ye, her eyes flashing with a strange brilliance.

After a while, she smiled and opened her mouth:

"Brother Jiang Ye, you sound so old-fashioned when you talk! Are you really the same age as my brother?

Why do I feel like you belong to my grandfather's generation?"

Shen Man's emotions came quickly and went quickly.

She, who had just been immersed in some kind of thought, returned to her usual liveliness in the blink of an eye.

She never lingered on the past.

She also had no fear of the path ahead.

In this life, she had relatives who truly cherished her.

Therefore, she was determined to let go of everything from her previous life, devote herself wholeheartedly to the present, and strive to realize those ideals she had once failed to achieve.

She would stick to Traditional Chinese Medicine, and she would still study Western medicine.

Just as Brother Jiang Ye said, whether it's Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western medicine, both can save lives and heal pain.

The two are not mutually exclusive, but can complement each other and bring out the best in each other.

Jiang Ye's lips were pressed very tightly, and there was some low pressure around him.

Who said women couldn't mention age? Men couldn't either.

He had clearly hidden this point very well, so how had the little girl seen through it?

If the little girl knew his true psychological age, would she be scared away?!

Shen Man twisted her fingers; she seemed to have said something wrong.

Brother Jiang Ye wasn't talking to her anymore! ===== CHAPTER 24 =====
