The Female General Dominates All After Transmigration-Chapter 368 - 367

Wang Liansheng and Professor Song had made an arrangement, so neither of them went to work. The children ate and went to school on their own, while the two of them accompanied the old man without having breakfast, hurrying to the hospital early.

Ling Er also came over, but was stopped by Ling Old Master with a single glance and could only look helplessly at his brother-in-law, saying: "Liansheng, sorry for the trouble."

Wang Liansheng wanted to laugh but held back, patting his brother-in-law’s arm, he said: "Don’t worry, Er. You handle things over there first, and after the check-up is done, I’ll come find you."

Ling Xiangwu nodded, watching eagerly as his sister and brother-in-law accompanied the old man into the consultation room, then turned to walk towards the ward building.

Professor Song Ke had performed surgery on the old man and was familiar with his condition. He greeted the old man with a smile: "Brother, you’re here? Come, let me check you out."

Ling Old Master chuckled as he greeted, cooperatively unbuttoning his coat to let the doctor examine him, while saying: "I just caught a cold a couple of days ago and have a bit of a cough. The kids were worried and insisted I come..."

These words seemed like complaints but were actually an indirect compliment to his children’s filial behavior, making Professor Song Ke, Wang Liansheng, and Ling Chengyan all unable to hold back their smiles.

Professor Song Ke carefully examined the old man with a stethoscope, while writing a check-up order with a smile: "Brother, you’re really blessed, with such filial children... As we age, we have to take our health seriously. Whether sick or not, it’s best to have more frequent check-ups. In this case, I agree with the children’s approach, you need to be scolded."

Ling Old Master nodded with a grin: "Right, right."

Ling Chengyan looked back at Wang Liansheng, thinking about how stubborn the old man is at home, not listening to anyone’s advice, but in the hospital, his attitude changes like a different person when he sees the doctor.

Wang Liansheng found his wife’s look amusing yet helpless, shaking his head, he discreetly squeezed her hand and then let go.

As Professor Song Ke mentioned, besides the coughing, it was also good to have a comprehensive examination. Wang Liansheng had already contacted Professor Song Ke beforehand, who directly prepared a thorough check-up order, but first and foremost, the focus was on the lungs where surgery had been done and symptoms were currently present.

The two took the elderly man to the examination department for all the tests.

When the lung exam results came out, Wang Liansheng was still with his father-in-law in another department, leaving Ling Chengyan waiting by herself.

Hearing her name called, she approached directly, asking openly: "Doctor, is there anything wrong?"

The doctor looked at her, asked about her relation to the patient, and said while looking at the order: "There is a bit of an issue..."

Ling Chengyan’s expression changed slightly, her pupils darkened suddenly.

The doctor was a middle-aged man who had worked in the hospital for many years and was accustomed to various expressions from patients’ families. Seeing her expression, he immediately smiled and shook his head: "Don’t worry, it’s just a bit of inflammation, with active treatment it will gradually recover. Elder people generally have weaker recovery abilities, and this patient had surgery, making recovery more difficult than usual."

Ling Chengyan listened intently, confirming that the doctor’s straightforward words indicated that her father’s condition wasn’t too severe.

As long as it’s not a recurrence of the old illness, gradual treatment and recovery is feasible.

Ling Chengyan sincerely thanked the doctor, took the report, and went directly to the ward to find her brother, updating him on the situation, making Ling Xiangwu noticeably relieved.

"Dad still has several tests unfinished. I’ll go talk to him and comfort his mind... You should call our big brother, inform him so he’s not worrying." Without hesitation, Ling Chengyan directed her brother and hurried back.

Although Ling Old Master appeared indifferent, Ling Chengyan noticed that he sometimes seemed absent-minded, sometimes looking at Xiao Xing and Shi Tou with reluctance... Old Master stubbornly refused to come to the hospital, perhaps not just for convenience or cost, but possibly fearing old illnesses relapsing, fearing his days are numbered.

Alas, for ages past and present, even emperors and generals couldn’t unravel life and death, let alone an ordinary old man.

The older one gets, the more fearful of the word ’death’.

Finally, after a busy morning, all the tests were completed, the main items had results, although some required waiting, they weren’t crucial. Old Master felt relieved, and his smile deepened.

At noon, Ling Chengyan simply took Old Master to South Suburb Restaurant for a good meal as a celebration.

As for the two children, they were left directly to their uncle.

Unexpectedly, when Ling Xiangwu went to the school gate to pick up Shi Tou after school, it caused a small stir.

In the afternoon, a little boy from Shi Tou’s class who used to compete with him, now seemed apologetic, avoiding him with a guilty look, which confused Shi Tou.

Once he found out the reason, he secretly told his mom upon returning home after school: "Uncle came to pick me up from school, my classmates saw and thought uncle was a gangster, hehe..."

Ling Chengyan listened then looked slightly shocked, then recalled her brother’s attire: the durable jeans, the equally durable windproof leather jacket, the slightly neglected longer hair and beard, and of course, his tall, strong physique... Heh, without mentioning it, it really did seem a bit like it after being said by the kids.

So, after dinner, Ling Xiangwu was dragged by his sister to the bathhouse, cleaned up, then ’experienced’ Wang Liansheng trimmed his hair into a flat top, and shaved off his scruffy beard.

Once freshened up, Ling Xiangwu stroked his smooth chin as he emerged, Ling Old Master snorted first: "Such a grown-up, yet still needing your sister to fuss over you."

Ling Chengyan silently laughed, while little Xing was quite sweet, jokingly praising her uncle for looking young and handsome, "...like Liu Dehua!"

A burst of laughter came from Ling Xiangwu, who reached into his pocket, pulled out a large bill for a reward: "Haha, my niece is the most thoughtful, here, Uncle gives this to you, go buy some goodies."

Little Xing confidently shook her head, hands behind her back.

Ling Chengyan couldn’t bear it and incited Ling Old Master: "You should reprimand Brother, look how loose he’s with money, can’t be this extravagant outside, earning money isn’t easy!"

With a snort from Ling Old Master, there was no need to speak, Ling Xiangwu already conceded, retrieving the money, yet added: "Till Sunday, Uncle will take you to buy some."

Finally, after checking the old man’s health, the family eased their concern.

The next day, Ling Chengyan got hold of her police system comrades at the incident location, made a call to understand the situation. She learned that the small road was near the three-province junction, where there have been vehicle robbers and road bandits before, three provinces had teamed up for crackdowns twice, the national and provincial roads were effectively cleared, and there hadn’t been such large-scale robbery events in the last two years.

However, after the bridge was damaged, vehicles passing needed to take a detour, with Ling Er and his group unfamiliar with the terrain, they ended up taking the wrong path and unintentionally encountered a robbery.
