The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 186 - 153

Yes, at that time she only saw Jiang Xiaoshan and did not see Lan Tian and Su Qing because those two had not come in yet.

Su Qing is impulsive and cannot keep anything secret. He would definitely make a fuss that everyone would know about as soon as he saw her wiping Mo Junhua’s arm. Jiang Xiaoshan is steady and honest.

Therefore, it was Jiang Xiaoshan who came in first. He knew she was inside taking care of Mo Junhua. That’s why he grabbed the towel from her hands as soon as he entered, fearing that Lan Tian might misunderstand Mo Junhua. Hence, Lan Tian never heard the statement "she has been taking care of Mo Junhua."

The gloom in their eyes deepened; they were indeed considering Lan Tian’s feelings!

"I..."

"Miss Zhou sure is well-informed, coming to the hospital early to see Brother Junhua."

Zhou Yuwei’s intended words, "I am a nurse, it’s only right for me to take care of patients," were cut off by Lan Tian, who then said, "As Brother Junhua’s wife, I only learned about this today. Brother Junhua has been injured and treated in the hospital for a year, yet the military didn’t notify me. As a family member of the patient, I didn’t receive any news, yet you, an outsider, knew before me, haha."

Lan Tian’s "haha" made the three of them tense up.

Su Qing has a simple mind, not thinking too deeply, and thought Lan Tian was blaming them for keeping her in the dark about Nurse Zhou taking care of the battalion commander and helping others but not her. Facing Lan Tian’s questioning, Su Qing guiltily lowered his head.

Jiang Xiaoshan’s gaze flickered. Although he looked honest, he was not foolish. Prompted by Lan Tian, he thought about the entire situation and indeed found many illogical aspects.

For instance, the battalion commander was a war hero, unconscious and unable to be cured in Shanghai, so why wasn’t he sent to Beijing for treatment?

Why hadn’t the regiment received any news? Didn’t they know if the battalion commander had been withdrawn from the frontlines or if there was some other situation?

Also, the people who initially went to the frontlines with the battalion commander, those who withdrew from the battlefield with him, why were none of them here?

If not because they were injured and had to withdraw from the frontlines early, and Su Qing accidentally came upon Nurse Zhou, Nurse Zhou’s panicked reaction upon seeing them was suspicious. Finding it strange, they followed and then saw the battalion commander in the special care ward with Nurse Zhou taking care of him.

The strange thing here is that neither of them knew about the battalion commander being in the hospital, and no one else knew either. Why hide the fact that the battalion commander was being treated at the Military District Hospital? This matter alone was worth pondering.

When the two of them had withdrawn, the war in the north was almost over. In another month or two, all the troops would be returning to the capital. It would be time for promotions and reassignments. With the battalion commander’s contributions, his military rank deserved to be advanced by several levels.

If the battalion commander remained comatose, the military would never allow a comatose person to become a national hero. Heroes are only of two kinds: either posthumously honored if dead, or alive, receiving the admiration of tens of thousands. The nation would not accept a hero lying on a hospital bed, frail and waiting to die.

Who was the mastermind behind all this?

A sinister glint flashed across the depth of his eyes, and slowly a storm began to gather. Zhang Tian and Ding Lei would be returning soon. He needed to wait for them to come back to discuss this. With Zhang Tian’s cleverness and Ding Lei’s decisiveness and ruthlessness, the two of them working together would surely uncover the mastermind.

"You two, see who’s free to make a trip to the Modu Second Municipal Hospital and talk to Chunhua about Mo Junhua’s situation. She is Brother Junhua’s sister. As a family member of the patient, she has the right to know about this."

Chunhua? The battalion commander’s sister?

Su Qing looked up at Lan Tian, "Sister-in-law, are you talking about Comrade Chunhua who took care of Zhao Li?"

Lan Tian nodded, "Is there anyone else by that name?"

Su Qing wore a stunned expression, then regained his composure and shook his head, "Didn’t she go back to her hometown? How did she end up in Shanghai again? And at the Second City Hospital?"

Speaking of Chunhua, Jiang Xiaoshan was not unfamiliar. The battalion commander’s sister, originally Zhao Li almost lost the use of his leg, and the battalion commander brought her from home to the military to take care of Zhao Li. At first, they thought the battalion commander had his sister come to prevent information from leaking, but they later realized that she studied medicine, was quite skilled back home, and under her careful care, Zhao Li gradually recovered.

Hearing this name, Zhou Yuwei couldn’t help her face twitch. Knowing she was Mo Junhua’s sister, she deliberately got close to her and tried to curry favor. That ungrateful girl, from beginning to end, not only didn’t appreciate it but often mocked and humiliated her with her venomous words, angering her to the point she wanted to turn around and leave.
