Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Seeing that he couldn't get out of the situation, Xu Changping sighed helplessly, followed Li Huaide to the factory gate, and got into the car that came to pick him up.

On the way, the car was silent. Xu Changping looked at the scenery outside the window that was constantly receding, and wondered in his heart what Guo Baihui's father wanted to talk to him about.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out, so he simply leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Soon, the car stopped at a gate. When Xu Changping opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat familiar scene.

After passing the gate's inspection and entering the compound, the car stopped in front of a door that Xu Changping was somewhat familiar with.

After opening the door and getting out of the car, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before walking up the steps and ringing the doorbell.

Soon, a middle-aged woman opened the door from the inside and asked in a gentle tone, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Minister Guo." Just as Xu Changping finished speaking, a deep male voice came from the room: "Sister Zhou, let him in."

Following Zhou Jie, Xu Changping entered the house and saw Minister Guo sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him.

Seeing Xu Changping coming in, Minister Guo smiled slightly. He asked him to sit down before he slowly said, "Comrade Xu, the reason I asked you to come here today is actually about Bai Hui."

Xu Changping's face became even more confused, and he asked directly: "Guo Baihui? What happened to her?" After all, they were not from the same circle and had not had any contact for a long time.

Father Guo smiled bitterly and said, "Something happened to Bai Hui in Suzhou. The doctors there can't solve it. I want you to go over and help me."

Xu Changping didn't expect that Guo wanted him to go on a business trip, but when he thought of Yang Xiaoyue who was bedridden at home, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Minister Guo, to be honest, I can't leave Sijiu City for the time being. Do you think there are other doctors who can go there?"

When Minister Guo heard what Xu Changping said, his brows furrowed deeply. If there hadn't been a problem with the medical team around him, he wouldn't have thought of looking for Xu Changping.

But in this situation, only Xu Changping, who has nothing to do with any forces, is the most suitable. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because the factory can't let go, or is there some other difficulty?"

Seeing him like this, Xu Changping had no choice but to say, "It's not the factory, it's my fiancée. She's sick right now, and neither of our families has any elders, so I have to take care of her myself."

After hearing what Xu Changping said, Guo's father looked embarrassed. He had never expected that there would really be any problems with Xu Changping.

Judging from the current situation, he cannot force Xu Changping to go to Suzhou. What if he doesn't take care of things after he goes there and delays his daughter's treatment?

But now, he only had Xu Changping, a man with superb medical skills, at his disposal. He stood up and paced slowly in the room, pondering for a long while before saying:

"Comrade Xiao Xu, I know your difficulties. But Bai Hui's condition is very critical. If we delay any longer, her life may be in danger. I don't want to make things difficult for you. How about this, I will arrange for someone capable to take care of your fiancée, what do you think?"

When Xu Changping heard what Guo said, he suddenly felt a headache. Not only was he worried about Yang Xiaoyue's symptoms, he was more worried about the limitations of the system.

When the system was first bound, he was told very clearly that unless it was a situation beyond human control, he was not allowed to leave the courtyard for 24 hours.

Thinking of this, Xu Changping clenched his fists and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Minister Guo, I'll go back and think about it overnight and give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"

Minister Guo saw this and did not dare to force him, so he could only nod and agree with Xu Changping.

Seeing Guo's performance, Xu Changping breathed a sigh of relief. This night he not only had to observe Yang Xiaoyue's recovery, but also had to discuss with the system what to do if it exceeded 24 hours.

Just now at Guo's house, Xu Changping had already made up his mind to go to Suzhou in person to bring Guo Baihui back, and he hoped that the process would not exceed 24 hours.

As for staying in the local area to treat Guo Baihui, that was impossible and he had never even thought about this option.

After thinking of a way to deal with it, Xu Changping directly said to the driver who was driving her: "Please take me to Lu Zu Temple."

The driver nodded and responded very straightforwardly, "Okay." As for why Xu Changping changed his itinerary, that was not something he needed to consider.

When they arrived at the gate of Lu Zu Palace, Xu Changping got out of the car and sent the driver away before turning around and heading for the Wumen courtyard.

Pushing open the door and entering the Wumen courtyard, Xu Changping saw Guan Ke sitting at the table, leisurely sipping tea.

He walked over with a smile and stood beside Guan Ke. While adding water to his teacup, he said, "Master, Xiaoyue is sick. Xiao Mi was worried about her so she didn't come to class today."

Guan Ke picked up the teacup, blew on it, then took a sip and said, "I see. How is Xiaoyue's illness? Is it serious?" When he sent Xiao Mi away yesterday, he had already expected that he would not be able to come today, but he did not expect the reason was that Yang Xiaoyue was sick.

Xu Changping never mentioned the backlash against her, and only said lightly: "It's nothing serious, I just feel a little weak."

"That's good." Guan Ke put down his teacup and nodded to show that he understood. Then he said, "Are you going out?"

Xu Changping was not surprised at all that Guan Ke would ask this question. After all, his identity was there. He did not hide it and nodded and replied, "Yes, I have to go to Suzhou in the next two days."

Guan Ke reminded him, "Take the sachet that Third Sister gave you with you."

Then, without waiting for Xu Changping to speak, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go back to work."

Seeing that he didn't like him, Xu Changping touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Okay, I'll leave first, Master."

Standing at the door, Xu Changping complained to himself: This old man really knows how to kill the donkey after it has done its job. He doesn't even think about how he would find an apprentice as talented as Xiao Mi if it weren't for me.

++++——++++

It was not until nightfall that Xu Changping pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard. Without even returning home, he walked straight to the next door, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Knock knock knock~~" The knocking sound was particularly clear in the quiet courtyard.

While knocking on the door, Xu Changping called softly, "Xiao Mi, I am..." Before he finished his words, the door was opened from the inside by Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi threw herself on Xu Changping's lap with a look of surprise and shouted, "Brother Tangguo, you're back!"

Xu Changping smiled and touched her little head, and asked gently: "Well, how is your sister?"

Hearing Xu Changping's question, Xiao Mi replied happily, "Much better than this morning."

"That's good." After hearing Xiao Mi's words, Xu Changping's worries were slightly relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled, took Xiao Mi's hand, and walked into the house together.

Standing outside the curtain separating the bedroom from the living room, Xu Changping asked softly, "Xiaoyue, can I come in?"

Soon, he heard Yang Xiaoyue's weak voice: "Brother Xu, come in." After pulling aside the curtain, Xu Changping saw a delicate beauty half leaning against the head of the bed.

Although her face was still a little pale, it was much better than in the morning.

Even his cheeks, which were originally as pale as paper, now had a bit more color.

Seeing this scene, Xu Changping's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
