I found a noodle shop for lunch. Wu Qian received a call from her subordinate saying that the artificial rain plan had been implemented. Coincidentally, the clouds were right over Shi Yan. I didn't hear any rain-making charges, but after we finished eating, it started to pour at the airport. Since the forecast hadn't predicted rain, many passengers hadn't brought umbrellas, resulting in a terminal full of drenched travelers.
"Will this heavy rain affect the plane's takeoff?" Yao Yao asked with a frown.
"It shouldn't. The temperature hasn't changed much and is still above zero degrees," Wu Qian replied.
As expected, there was no impact, and all flight information was normal. As we were about to board, Lin Xi sent a message saying that Ya Nan had arrived in Beijing and was arranged at their Sabia General Hospital, so I could rest assured.
With them handling it, I had nothing to worry about. After expressing my gratitude, Lin Xi asked me again, "Did you offend 201?"
"No, why?"
"She gets angry whenever your name comes up..."
Wu Qian, sitting next to me, saw my conversation with Lin Xi. She grabbed my phone and used voice input to vividly recount to Lin Xi how I had "healed" Bai Qingcheng.
"Damn it, you little brat, you're really brave. It's a miracle you're still alive. I understand. I'll explain it to 201 when I have a chance, telling her that you're just naturally like this and have no ill intentions..." Lin Xi said helplessly.
I truly couldn't understand why Bai Qingcheng was angry, as I really had no ill intentions.
On time, we boarded the plane. The flight was almost a straight line, and after more than two hours, we successfully arrived in Lv Shun.
It was snowing here, with moonlight casting a white, silvery glow on the ground, making it look stunning.
At the airport, Shen Xingyue came to greet us. The fox demon was also there. Yao Yao's true qi had been depleted and needed rest, so she was taken to the Jinjiling base by the fox demon. I, along with the fox demon, Shen Xingyue, and Wu Qian, went to Shen Xingyue's unit because I still needed to study satellite imagery.
The Sabia department was now fully open to me. Shen Xingyue did not accompany me but went to an office with Wu Qian to discuss matters. The fox demon and I took the elevator downstairs. The guards at the conference room didn't stop us and let us pass directly.
However, some people were working overtime inside. I didn't need to do anything myself. I pulled up the latest map of Zhongnan Mountain from Beidou, which was taken at noon that day. Indeed, the fog had provided excellent cover. Except for a few peaks, other locations were invisible, and the cement road was completely untraceable. If it was like this at noon, it would be even less visible at other times.
I didn't know if the Mountain Sea Demon Race would still choose to set up their formation here after Wu Qian's subordinates cleared all the fog. If they moved, what would our plan be?
With no clear direction, I could only do as Bai Qingcheng suggested: take it one step at a time, and if necessary, go and investigate again.
"Where to now?" the fox demon asked with a yawn.
"I want to go to the hospital to see Chu Qi. Why don't you go back first?" I said.
"How can I let you go alone? Let's go. Do you want to ride me, or take a taxi?" the fox demon asked with a smile.
"...Can you be ridden?"
"I can be ridden if you want. I can grow larger."
Riding a giant fox through the streets wouldn't be very discreet. I took the elevator upstairs and borrowed a car from Shen Xingyue, saying I needed to visit Chu Qi. When Wu Qian heard that Chu Qi was hospitalized, she was quite surprised and wanted to go with us.
I drove with the two beautiful women towards the city. Although Wu Qian was an ordinary mortal, she had clearly seen a lot of the world and wasn't particularly surprised by Daji's identity. She chatted and laughed with her along the way as if they were old friends. I even suspected they knew each other before.
As we neared the hospital, Wu Qian asked me to pull over. She got out and went to a roadside flower shop, giving the owner two hundred yuan. Wu Qian arranged a bouquet herself and had the shop owner wrap it. She must have learned how to do it, as the arrangement was very delicate and beautiful. Even I, a grown man, found it pleasing to the eye.
I would never have thought of bringing flowers to someone in the hospital. At most, I would think of bringing a fruit basket. However, most hospitalized patients wouldn't be in the mood to eat fruit, and doctors wouldn't allow them to eat cold items, so it would just be for decoration. I was more accustomed to giving a red envelope, which was more practical.
Giving flowers, in fact, can lift a woman's spirits and greatly benefit her recovery.
