Xin Yi arranged for Xia Dongrong and his son to stay at Beng Hu Lian. Summer Wind was helping out in the cafeteria, while Xin Yi asked Qin Dali to buy an electric wheelchair for Xia Dongrong. When there was nothing else to do, he could just move around the base, treating it as a patrol for Beng Hu Lian. Although Summer Wind had said he wouldn't accept Xin Yi's payment, Xin Yi insisted that Qin Dali ensure they received it. If they truly refused, he would open an account in their names to deposit the money.
After all this fuss, it was already midnight. Once Xia Dongrong and his son were settled, Xin Yi had Qin Dali drive him back to the Farm. He had already sent Qin Dali to find someone to take care of his off-road vehicle at the scene of the incident, which would likely be found by the police soon since the city management had definitely noted the license plate when they chased after Summer Wind. Now that he had taken in Summer Wind and his son at Beng Hu Lian, he needed to cut off any connection with the police. The only option was to stage a scene where Summer Wind hijacked a vehicle and knocked out the driver to escape. Qin Dali was quite experienced in such matters; with his counter-surveillance skills, it would be nearly impossible for ordinary police officers to find any flaws in the setup.
On the way, Xin Yi asked Qin Dali, "Has there been any movement from Josen lately?"
"That kid hasn't made a peep since we scared him last time; he's been quite obedient," Qin Dali replied. "According to our surveillance team, he might be considering a career change."
"What do you mean?" Xin Yi was puzzled. A career change for Josen? What could he possibly switch to?
"I heard he recently started some import-export trading company and is doing business with foreigners. This isn't just a career change; it seems like he's scared from our last encounter and knows it's tough in this line of work, so he's looking to switch to business," Qin Dali said nonchalantly.
"Import-export trading?" After hearing Qin Dali's words, Xin Yi felt something was off. If Josen wanted to do business, given his connections with his father in Binhai, he wouldn't have any trouble at all. Why would he choose import-export trading? Was it really that lucrative? Xin Yi began to suspect that there might be something shady going on. Someone like Josen wouldn't simply settle down to run a business. So, Xin Yi told Qin Dali, "Dali, have someone investigate Josen's import-export company thoroughly. Find out what kind of trade he's involved in and who he's dealing with. I have a feeling there's more to this than meets the eye."
"Brother Xin suspects he's involved in smuggling?" Qin Dali asked in surprise.
"It's hard to say for sure, but I have a strong feeling there's some conspiracy behind this. Just have someone look into it; call me if you find anything," Xin Yi said with a furrowed brow. He instinctively believed that Josen was brewing something sinister, but without clear information, they could only take it one step at a time.
"Got it, Brother Xin. Hearing you say that makes me feel something is indeed off. Don't worry; I'll have someone gather information on Josen's company as soon as possible."
Due to the possibility of being away for an extended period and Big Bull repeatedly requesting to come along, Xin Yi decided it would be more convenient with an extra person around sometimes. So he brought Big Bull along with Mother Shen and Aunt Wu from the Shen Family as they accompanied Shen Shanshan to the capital. The hospital arrangements had already been made by Shen Dahai. After checking into Capital Military District Hospital, Xin Yi also booked two rooms at the Troop Guesthouse nearby so everyone could take turns resting while caring for Shen Shanshan.
The next day, Shen Shanshan was pushed into the Examination Room, where the renowned neurosurgeon, Xiao Xinran, personally examined her. Dr. Xiao is one of the most influential figures in the field of neurosurgery in the country. The results of the examination were unexpected; Dr. Xiao stated that the location of Shen Shanshan's intracranial hemorrhage was indeed not suitable for surgery due to the dense network of nerves in that area. Even if he were to perform the surgery himself, he could not guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen. After all, humanity still knows very little about its own brain. Although Dr. Xiao is an authority in neurosurgery, he does not advocate for using craniotomy as a treatment for everything. If there are other physical therapies available, he absolutely does not support performing a craniotomy because the structure of the human brain is far more intricate than humans can imagine. Unless absolutely necessary, he does not wish to disrupt this naturally formed structure.
The final treatment plan was similar to what had been determined in Longchuan: to continue observing the changes in Shen Shanshan's intracranial hemorrhage, which mainly depended on her physiological system. Additionally, some physical therapy would be implemented to promote blood circulation in her head, hoping that her own physiological system could resolve the intracranial hemorrhage. Of course, if there were no effects after a period of time, they would consider craniotomy then. Everyone leaned towards this treatment plan because avoiding surgery would at least maintain the current state; once on the operating table, this state could potentially be disrupted. Although surgery might help Shen Shanshan recover, no one was willing to gamble with her life because they could not afford to lose.
Time passed quickly, and the group had already been in the capital for a month. During this month, Xin Yi had basically stayed by Shen Shanshan's bedside, taking care of the unconscious Shen Shanshan with great care. Even Mother Shen was moved by his attentiveness; if Shen Shanshan's future were entrusted to Xin Yi, she could rest assured. Throughout this period, Dr. Xiao had been monitoring Shen Shanshan's condition and happily informed everyone that there were signs of dissipation in her intracranial hemorrhage. As long as they persisted with physical therapy, it should not be long before it completely dissipated, at which point Shen Shanshan would awaken. This news relieved both Mother Shen and Xin Yi.
Through a phone call, Xin Yi learned that Topology had also brought his four wives and eleven children to Heavenly Pride Nation. Xin Yi asked Brother Three to help settle them down and bought them a courtyard on the outskirts of Longchuan City. The family from a foreign land was living harmoniously together; however, Topology called Xin Yi to say he did not want to just sit idle and wanted to find something to do. So Xin Yi arranged for Qin Dali to find him and temporarily serve as a martial arts instructor for Beng Hu Lian, teaching the Brothers some Swordsmanship. Since Qin Dali's training had originally followed military routines focused on practical grappling and fighting techniques, letting the Brothers learn some foreign Swordsmanship was also an experiment; perhaps a few skilled swordsmen could emerge from Beng Hu Lian.
The next day did not disappoint Xin Yi; Qin Dali called to say that while teaching Swordsmanship to the Brothers, Summer Wind saw them while helping in the cafeteria and insisted on sparring with Topology. The two battled with training wooden swords for three hundred rounds, and in the end, Topology narrowly won by half a move. They both praised each other's Swordsmanship and became sworn brothers despite their different surnames, promising to study Swordsmanship together from now on. After hearing this, Xin Yi smiled slightly; both were masters of swordplay and might elevate their skills further through mutual practice. However, Topology seemed to be around Xia Dongrong's age; these two were quite carefree—sworn brothers from different clans and nations.
There was still no news from Lijie. Of course, if she did not want to give Xin Yi any information about herself, it would be very difficult for him to obtain it. The world is vast, and as a former assassin, Lijie could easily hide away if she wished. However, Xin Yi was not worried about her safety; there were probably not many people who could pose a threat to her. What worried him more was that she might continue executing missions to assassinate Kobe Bryant. This Kobe Bryant was no ordinary person; assassinating him would not be easy and could lead to being toyed with again like last time. Therefore, he asked Brother Three to keep an eye on any movements from Lusang Nation; if Lijie truly went after Kobe Bryant, she must be stopped or assisted at an appropriate time if stopping her proved impossible. In any case, Lijie must remain safe; Brother Three naturally felt obligated regarding matters entrusted by Xin Yi and promised that he would ensure her safety if she was found.
Last time Xin Yi returned to Longchuan without even seeing Shu Rui once; then Shen Shanshan's incident happened. Having learned from this experience, Xin Yi felt he should change his approach and had not contacted Shu Rui since then—he wanted time to dilute their feelings for each other. Although this method seemed cowardly, it undeniably served as a tactic that would not easily provoke incidents between them. During this time, Shu Rui called Xin Yi once; he casually told her that a friend was injured and he accompanied them to the capital and might stay for a long time. Shu Rui did not say much in response; they quickly hung up the phone. Shu Rui's attitude struck Xin Yi as somewhat strange—as if she knew everything that had happened—this calmness made him increasingly aware of Shu Rui's unusual nature.
...
That day when Xin Yi returned to his room at the guesthouse next to the hospital preparing for a shower before heading back to the hospital, just as he reached his room door and took out his room card, the door across suddenly opened. A beautiful woman wrapped in a towel peeked out and smiled at him: "Sir, are you staying in this room?"
"Yes, is there something?" Xin Yi glanced at the beautiful woman across from him and thought how bold today's girls are—just wrapped in a towel daring to strike up a conversation with a stranger man—did she really think Heavenly Pride Nation had achieved such security that doors could remain unlocked at night without fear?
"Well," the beautiful woman smiled again at Xin Yi: "My name is Roxy; I just arrived from Y Country for tourism in Heavenly Pride today and planned to take a shower and rest well but realized there was no hot water in my room after undressing. May I take a shower in your room?" She finished speaking while deliberately tugging at her towel and gazing at Xin Yi with fiery eyes.
Xin Yi quickly turned his gaze away; this woman seemed like a mixed-race beauty with striking large eyes shining blue light and exquisitely featured facial features—a stunning face combining Eastern and Western traits with strong three-dimensionality that possessed deadly allure for all men. He stammered: "It might be that the hot water heater is broken; you can call maintenance for help."
