Chapter 218: Merchant men are the most capable, the most honest, and the strongest
A group of people walked along the gray marble brick surface into a special passage.
When they reached the small hall, they greeted each other.
Shang Jiangan, Shang Jiangchuan and their spouses, along with several elderly domestic helpers from Chongyuan Road who had taken care of Shang Jianghan since he was a child, were all present.
When they reached the elevator entrance and pressed the up button, while waiting for the elevator, Shen Chaoxi asked Liu and several aunts in the family to go back first.
Shang Jianghan is seriously injured and will need to undergo a more detailed examination and treatment when he arrives at the ward, so there doesn't need to be too many people.
After some instructions, the elevator slowly opened.
Six people, including the three brothers and their spouse, got into the elevator.
In the VIP ward, medical staff are already in place. Shang Jianghan's wounds from the long journey need to be checked, and his physical indicators need to be thoroughly evaluated.
Shen Chaoxi was not allowed to get close and was pulled to another ward by Qiao Huihui to rest.
We had a simple dinner in the car, but a more exquisite and nutritious dinner was prepared here.
Qiao Huihui pulled Shen Chaoxi to the sofa. Knowing that she was absent-minded, she still wanted her to eat more.
"One person feeds two people. The conditions in Liping are limited and cannot be compared with ours. These meals were brought by the aunt at home. She said they are what you like to eat."
Shen Chaoxi's mind was still filled with the scene where Shang Jianghan entered the ward and was surrounded by many instruments as soon as he lay down.
Only then did she realize how fragile human life was in front of her.
The pediatric department called and asked Qiao Huihui to see a patient, so she left in a hurry.
Only Gu Wenmin was left to accompany Shen Chaoxi.
The door of the ward was opened, and figures walked in the corridor from time to time. The clattering sound of footsteps was most likely to make people feel upset.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling in my stomach.
At night, children always make a fuss for a while.
Shen Chaoxi regained his composure and looked at the dishes. He really had no appetite, so he picked up a piece of bread, dipped it in blueberry jam and started eating.
Gu Wenmin did not "force" Shen Chaoxi like Qiao Huihui did, but just waited with her silently.
After eating a piece of bread, Shen Chaoxi picked up a glass of milk and took a few sips.
Shang Jiangan passed by the ward at this time and greeted the two of them.
The man with eyebrows and eyes similar to Shang Jianghan just had red eyes downstairs, and Shen Chaoxi saw his deliberately suppressed expression.
The affection between cousins comes from the heart.
Then, after Shang Jiangan walked out, Gu Wenmin told them about their experience when they were studying in Country M.
“…At that time, Jiang An and I were interning at a research institute in a small town. We were unlucky that day and ran into a BL organization. They had weapons in their hands and killed the guard.
Jiang An, I, and several colleagues from the research institute were trapped for a day and a night in a small suite of 50 square meters, with only a small amount of water and no food.
The time waiting for rescue always goes by very slowly, and the feeling of despair came over me little by little. Jiang An held me in his arms. Although he didn't say anything, I knew he was also very desperate.
The longer time goes by, the more we feel that the possibility of having a baby is too small.”
Recalling the past, Gu Wenmin couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. He clenched his fists and then unclenched them.
"Later, one of the girls couldn't stand it anymore and tried to jump out of the window at night, but she was found by those people and beaten to death immediately!
Another day and night passed, and there was movement outside, and someone came to rescue us.
In fact, this incident had already caused a stir in the outside news media at that time, but the local rulers did not take it seriously because we were not local residents and left us to fend for ourselves! "
"We heard about these subsequent events from a senior who knew the inside story when we returned to China." The story ends here, and the subsequent developments seem to be very likely to arouse people's desire to listen.
Gu Wenmin stopped and looked at Shen Chaoxi.
"Guess who rescued us?"
Shen Chaoxi was listening intently. When asked, she couldn't think of an answer for a moment and shook her head.
"Jiang Han saved me!"
"what?"
During this moment, Shen Chaoxi thought of the many rescue movies she had seen, and felt that reality was far more thrilling than those scenes.
But I didn’t expect that the rescuer Gu Wenmin mentioned would be Shang Jianghan?
Facing Shen Chaoxi's face full of disbelief, Gu Wenmin confirmed it again.
“It’s really Jiang Han!
He had just come to Country M that year to study here. Before your brother and I got into trouble, we contacted him and arranged a meeting place, but he never showed up. Later, when the incident became a hot topic, he went to the consulate to find out our whereabouts.
That night, there was fighting in the small building where we were imprisoned for more than two hours, with people getting injured and screaming.
When Gu Wenmin thought about it, her eyes turned red and her voice choked.
“When the fighting stopped and only faint groans could be heard, the door to the room we were trapped in was violently opened.
In the dim light of the corridor, there was a tall man in black clothes with blood on his face and hands. He stood there and the first sentence he said was "Big Brother" in Chinese.
At that time, your eldest brother and I found it a little bit unbelievable, as if we never believed that the god of good luck would come, even though we were the only two people in that suite who could speak Chinese!
Later he called out Shang Jiangan again, and only then did your elder brother finally recognize him completely.
Jiang Han walked around a few people and found us lying on the ground without any strength. He squatted down and helped us up. That day he hugged your elder brother, shed tears, and said that he was late!
That was the first and only time I saw him cry.
Chaoxi, you married into our Shang family, so you must know that it is not easy for Shang family’s children to grow up, but they are the most capable, the most upright, and the strongest!
Jiang Han will be fine, and you and the child must be fine too, understand?"
The news that Lianzhong's president Shang Jianghan was stabbed by his subordinates at the Liping Pharmaceutical Factory caused a sensation on the Internet, although it was suppressed later and the negative news did not spread.
However, this case still attracted much attention from all walks of life.
Shang Jianghan was transferred from Liping District Hospital to Peking University Affiliated Hospital. He was hospitalized for ten days. His condition stabilized and he was discharged to recuperate at home.
In early June, the weather was hot, with the outdoor temperature in Beijing reaching as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
These days, apart from handling some group affairs at home, Shang Jianghan has been more relaxed than ever before, and seems to have had a happy time.
Tomorrow is the annual college entrance examination.
President Shang did some rehabilitation early this morning, held a video conference, and went to the top floor of the villa after finishing his work.
Two years ago, the top floor of the villa was renovated and a large daylight glass room was built. It was originally intended for growing flowers, but later a small swimming pool and an entertainment and leisure area were built.
Today is a rare gloomy day with a breeze blowing. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the sunroom are mostly open. Standing in front of the railing and looking down, the courtyard is full of lush greenery.
There is a lawn in the southeast corner of the pavilion, where a new type of dense grass that can be stepped on barefoot has been planted. It is Mrs. Shang's favorite area that she has been taking good care of recently.
At this time, Mrs. Shang, who was wearing white overalls and a black striped T-shirt, was doing daily lawn care, spraying water with a high-pressure water gun.
Her long hair was tied up on top of her head, and her exposed skin was white and shiny, surpassing any other scene.
