Chapter 415: Little Wolf Cub’s Double Standard

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Jiang family or the Lin family, neither have a family history of hereditary diseases. Although Jiang Junlin has been a picky eater since childhood, he has always been in good health. Six years ago, he suddenly developed a stomach problem, and after spending two years on the frontlines with irregular mealtimes and continued picky eating, minor issues turned into major problems.

“I told him a long time ago not to be picky, especially when he has a stomach problem,” Qin Wan said, both angry and helpless.

Zhang Qiang hesitated to speak. In fact, the master’s picky eating was just that, but he had been well taken care of since childhood. There was a reason for his stomach problems, but Zhang Qiang kept his mouth shut, not daring to disclose Jiang Junlin’s privacy.

Qin Wan and Gu Ci were waiting for news when Qin Wan’s phone vibrated. She glanced at it and blurted out, “Damn, what a small world.”

“What’s wrong?” Gu Ci asked.

“Ji chi is also undergoing surgery upstairs, also in the digestive department,” Qin Wan showed Gu Ci the message sent by the Triad’s dark web, which had a dedicated team monitoring the every move of the Black Hawk’s top brass. “What happened to him?” Gu Ci frowned.

“He had a breakup, drank excessively, developed a stomach perforation, and brought it on himself!” Qin Wan mocked.

Zhang Qiang cleared his throat, “He had the stomach perforation… for several months, it wasn’t caused by excessive drinking.”

Qin Wan smiled awkwardly, “Oh… you seem to know a lot.”

Gu Ci said,

Zhang Qiang said,

Jiang Junlin’s surgery took an hour longer than Gu Ci had anticipated, and there were some complications during the procedure. Overall, the risk was relatively small, and the surgery was successful, with a bit of a scare.

Gu Ci announced that he was safe in the group chat after his surgery.

Upstairs, Ji chi’s surgery was slower than Jiang Junlin’s, but it went relatively smoothly as well. By some strange twist of fate, their surgeries were on the same day, and they ended up on the same floor of the hospital, right across from each other. When Gu Ci left Jiang Junlin’s ward and saw Rong Li and the others escorting Ji chi into his room, he didn’t know what to say. It was like a cursed coincidence.

Rong Li was surprised to see Gu Ci there; he had been waiting outside the operating room the whole time, and his phone’s battery was almost dead, so he hadn’t seen any messages. “Gu Ci, what are you doing here?”

“My brother just had surgery; he’s in the room right there,” Gu Ci replied.

Rong Li fell silent for three seconds. “What a coincidence, Ji chi is also having surgery tonight.”

“What happened to him?”

“Stomach perforation. What about Jiang Junlin?”

“Gastric polyps.”

“How uncanny!”

After their awkward conversation, they went their separate ways. Rong Li couldn’t help but complain inwardly; why did Jiang Junlin have to end up in the room across from Ji chi’s? It was like a cursed fate. Were you two star-crossed lovers trying to die on the same day?

Lu Zhiyuan had known about this news for a long time. It was a bizarre and helpless coincidence. This floor of the hospital was under strict security, and the original patients had been transferred to other floors. Zhang Qiang and Nick stood on both sides of the corridor like door gods, and the passing nurses and doctors couldn’t help but look at them several times.

Nick asked, “Bro, do you smoke?”

Zhang Qiang pointed to the no-smoking sign; the hospital prohibited smoking.

The two were quite familiar with each other, considering they often had to keep an eye out for their respective masters. Nick said, “You can smoke in the hallway.”

Zhang Qiang declined his enthusiastic invitation, “During duty, we must not leave our post.”

Nick thought to himself, “Not even a fly can get in here; what’s there to worry about?”

“Is your master’s surgery serious?” Nick inquired.

Zhang Qiang replied, “Minor surgery. What about your master?”

“Also minor surgery. Irregular meals, constant socializing, and endless alcohol consumption ruined his stomach,” Nick explained. “Is your master’s stomach condition due to picky eating?”

Zhang Qiang remained expressionless, “It’s also due to alcohol.”

“Alcohol is really harmful.”

“Great minds think alike.”

The two exchanged information about each other’s masters; after all, it was necessary to report back, and they both had a keen sense of observation.

When Jiang Junlin woke up, he was subjected to a series of lectures from his grandparents, parents, and even his aunts and uncles about the harms of picky eating. They wanted him to correct this bad habit, eat more, and take better care of his stomach.

Grandma Jiang even subtly implied that his stomach wasn’t as good as hers, even though she was much older and her stomach had always been healthy.

Jiang Junlin knew that they were worried, so he obediently listened to their complaints. This lecture lasted for two hours, during which Jiang Junlin had just undergone surgery and was feeling unwell. He found himself getting drowsy from all the nagging. The Jiang family had many relatives, and there was a continuous stream of visitors to the hospital room. The room was filled with fruits and flowers, and Jiang Junlin had a splitting headache.

In contrast, Nick felt a bit sorry for his own master.

When Ji chi woke up, there was no one to visit him, and the hospital room was cold and empty.

Lu Zhiyuan was busy investigating Tang Mingzhou’s affairs, and Rong Li knew that Ji chi had safely undergone surgery and had left. Despite Ji chi appearing to be like a loyal puppy in front of Jiang Junlin, he was quite cold-hearted underneath. In the business world, he was a shrewd operator who could see through people’s true colors. Moreover, he had never informed anyone outside about his surgery and hospitalization.

Nick looked at the bustling scene outside Jiang Junlin’s hospital room and couldn’t help feeling even more sorry for his own master. He was truly pitiful, with no family members around him.

Zhang Qiang asked, “Why hasn’t anyone come to visit your master?”

“He’s an orphan, no family.”

Zhang Qiang knew that Ji chi was an orphan. “Third Master and Rong Li didn’t come to see him?”

“They’re both very busy.”

Zhang Qiang couldn’t help but think that was indeed quite pitiful.

Nick also understood what Zhang Qiang was thinking. If they weren’t on the same floor, the contrast wouldn’t be so stark.

But being on the same floor, with one room bustling with visitors and the other seemingly empty, the contrast was too stark.

Ji chi had a restless day. After the anesthesia wore off, he experienced some pain, not too severe but impossible to ignore. On top of that, there was a lot of noise outside. He became impatient and called Nick into the room with an annoyed tone, “What’s going on outside? Wasn’t this floor supposed to be cleared?”

It was so noisy, and it had been non-stop since early morning!

Nick said helplessly, “Master, this entire floor has been cleared. There are only two patient rooms in use.”

The patient rooms didn’t have soundproof walls, so there was bound to be some noise.

“What’s going on?” Nick couldn’t hide it any longer and said, “Master, the thing is, right across from us is Mr. Jiang…”

Ji chi was stunned, abruptly lifting the blanket, “What’s going on? He…”

He moved too suddenly and pulled at his wound, instantly lying back down with a pale face. Nick hurriedly approached and held him down, “Master, don’t worry. It was a minor surgery. Rong Li said you just had surgery, so don’t be anxious. He’ll tell you more in a couple of days. Mr. Jiang had a minor surgery too, really.”

“What happened to him?” Ji chi’s eyes were filled with excitement as he gripped Nick’s arm, with a hint of redness in the corners of his eyes.

“He had a polyp in his stomach, and they removed it,” Nick shared the information he had gathered. “He woke up even earlier than you. Zhang Qiang said he can talk and is in the process of recovery. There’s nothing to worry about.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“Why would 1 lie to you?” Nick handed Ji chi the surgical records and reports that Zhang Qiang had given him. “Master, this is absolutely genuine. Please don’t move. If you find the noise disturbing, should I ask the doctor to find you another room?”

“No need,” Ji chi listened to the lively commotion outside, “It’s fine..”
