The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

"Yi Yang, where are you? Is it convenient to talk?" Xiao Yichen's voice was low, but one could hear the urgency.

"I'm in Haiyang and will be back tomorrow. What's the matter?" Xiao Yiyang also became nervous. Could it be that something happened again? Something in his heart was tugged, and the pain from many years ago was still there.

"You're not in Mocheng? Well, come back right now. I have something very important to discuss with you. Your sister-in-law and I are going to Wudu tomorrow. There are some things in Mocheng and at home that I must explain to you clearly."

"What's going on? Are you two going to Wudu?" Xiao Yiyang frowned. His elder brother and sister-in-law had always kept to themselves. When would they need to travel together? "Wudu, is there a medical seminar going to be held in Wudu?"

"No, it's not about academics, it's about saving lives... Do you still remember the gossip that my classmate in Wudu told you about a week ago at Wolong Mountain..."

Xiao Yiyang's expression became serious. Could it be... "Okay, I'll be back right away. If it's fast, I'll be there in six hours, before midnight. I'll go to your house?"

"No, let's go to Dad's house. We won't say much on the phone. We'll wait for you. Be safe on the road."

Xiao Yiyang hurried to the restaurant and saw Leng Ruofei sitting in front of the restaurant waiting for him to eat. He hadn't started eating yet. The proprietress was still enthusiastically serving dishes to the table. "Mr. Xiao, the dishes are ready. Come and eat. I heard from your wife that you drove all the way from Nehe. You must be very tired. Come and try this pheasant. The meat is very good."

"Thank you, but I have an urgent matter and need to leave immediately." After saying that, he looked at Leng Ruofei, "Fei'er, bring some edible staple foods and snacks, we will return to Mocheng immediately."

Seeing his serious expression, she swallowed the words that were on her throat. Could it be the phone call he made just now? Did something happen in Mocheng? Anyway, she hadn't planned to stay in Haiyang, so going back earlier would be a relief for her.

Leng Ruofei put the steamed buns and two eggs on the table into his pocket without saying a word, and followed Xiao Yiyang to the room to get the luggage.

"Mr. Xiao, do you have something urgent to do? You want to leave right after you arrive. I guess we didn't treat you well enough..." The proprietress followed them with some concern and asked anxiously.

"No, you're fine here. He just received a call and it must be something very important. I'm really sorry." Leng Ruofei quickly comforted.

Xiao Yiyang nodded, "Yes, it's something very important. Don't worry, I will pay for the room."

"From what you said, it's not about the room fee. Well, since you have urgent matters, we won't keep you here. It's getting late, so please be careful on the road. Xiao Geng!" The proprietress took a bag of cooked food from Xiao Geng and put it in Xiao Yiyang's trunk.

On the highway, Leng Ruofei didn't ask him what happened, but he found that his car was speeding. Could it be that his wife Yu Yiran had an accident? Not knowing whether he should remind him to pay attention to the speed at this time, he hesitated and hesitated to speak.

"Are you hungry? There is food on the bus, eat something. It will take at least six hours to get to Mocheng." Xiao Yiyang told her.

Leng Ruofei was not reserved. She was indeed hungry. She peeled an egg, ate half a piece of bread, and drank a small bottle of mineral water. "You are speeding." She finally couldn't help but remind him.

"Yeah." There was no intention of slowing down.

"Did something happen to your wife? You don't want to live... I still want to live..." Leng Ruofei regretted it as soon as he said it. His words sounded very sour.

"You are my wife." What a joke. Leng Ruofei was choked by him and was speechless.

"My eldest brother called me and said that something happened in Wudu. It should be serious. It might be an infectious disease." Xiao Yiyang explained patiently, and the car slowed down and returned to normal. "I will go directly to Dad's house. You come with me."

"Are you crazy? Why should I go back with you? That's your parents' home and we are divorced." Leng Ruofei really wanted to jump out of the window, but unfortunately this was a highway, and he felt like he was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off.

"This matter is very serious. Remember the SARS in 03? This may not just be a Wudu issue, it will affect everyone. I want you to be by my side, otherwise I will be worried." Xiao Yiyang wanted to tell him that they were still a legal couple and the divorce procedures had not been completed, but he was afraid of angering her and causing her to hide and never see him again.

"SARS? Really?" She was shocked. She still remembers the year when SARS broke out. She was still in primary school. The campus was very tense. People had to report their body temperature every day, disinfect their hands and wash their hands. They were very nervous. Classes with body temperatures above 37 degrees would be given special attention. Several students had pneumonia and didn't come to school for a long time. Later, they heard that they didn't have SARS but typical pneumonia. However, they were also admitted to the hospital and given intensive care. Although she was young at that time, she also heard from the teacher that the outbreak started in several developed cities, and as a result, people all over the country were in a panic.

That was the first time that the word "infectious disease" was deeply rooted in her mind. Those who were not infected were more panicked than those who were infected, and those who were infected faced more despair.

"This matter ends here. I don't think we need to waste our breath on such things. I also hope you can be more rational." When Leng Ruofei said this, his expression showed no joy or anger. He was just stating the facts.

Xiao Yiyang glanced at Chi in the rearview mirror and said nothing more. Leng Ruofei also sensitively noticed that the car speed had increased again.

She pulled the door handle calmly and stopped reminding him to slow down.

He couldn't persuade her, so he let her get off when passing Mobei. Seeing her carrying the suitcase upstairs, at least he knew where she lived. So, Xiao Yiyang drove all the way to Mocheng City.

To be honest, Leng Ruofei hadn't figured out what to do next. She followed Xiao Yiyang back to Mocheng uncontrollably. Whether it was Yangzhou or Laha in Nehe, there was nowhere to escape in the south or the north. In fact, the thing she couldn't escape the most was her own heart. She knew that the relationship between her and Xiao Yiyang was not just a simple surrender. It was an irresistible compromise with this man.

After returning to Mocheng, she insisted on continuing to live in Mobei, using Sister Liuliu's house. Xiao Yiyang did not force her, and she and Xiao Yiyang made three rules: do not call her without her permission; do not come to her place without her permission; do not appear in front of her without her permission.

Although Xiao Yiyang broke the agreement between the two every time, Leng Ruofei seemed to feel insecure if she didn't set any conditions.

"Brother Yi Yang!" Seeing Xiao Yi Yang enter the room, Xiao Ye hurried over, unable to hide his excitement but also nervousness.

"Where's my brother?" Xiao Yiyang threw the car keys in his hand at the entrance and quickly took off his shoes and changed into slippers.

"In the living room, Brother Yiyang, my eldest brother said that there was an infectious disease outbreak in Wudu!" Xiao Ye stretched out his hand to pull Xiao Yiyang, but he deliberately avoided him.

Walking quickly to the living room, Xiao Zhengchun and Qin Lan, Xiao Yichen and Song Xiaoxue were all there, and Xiao Yichen and Song Xiaoxue's luggage was placed in the middle of the living room.

Xiao Yiyang saw that the four people in the living room all had serious expressions. Xiao Yichen's phone rang, and he quickly picked it up. It should be the dean calling. He kept replying "OK", then exchanged glances with Song Xiaoxue and gestured. Song Xiaoxue immediately understood and hurriedly checked her phone. There was a notification in the WeChat group, and she also replied.

Xiao Zhengchun and Qin Lan didn't even breathe. Xiao Ye was about to say something when Xiao Yiyang stopped him. Then Xiao Yichen said, "Okay, Dean, I understand! Xiaoxue and I are ready and will arrive at the meeting place on time. Don't worry, Dean, I will pay attention and cooperate with the doctors at the Sixth Hospital..."

After Xiao Yichen put away his phone, he looked at his watch, then looked at Xiao Yiyang and explained, "Yiyang, Xiaoxue and I were sent to Wudu by the hospital. We are the first batch of doctors gathered in Mocheng. Our hospital has gathered 200 people, mainly to cooperate with the doctors of the Sixth Hospital."

"What does the official say?" Xiao Yiyang knew that since Xiao Yichen was so anxious for him to come back, the situation must be very grim.

"There was no written document, only a verbal assembly, and the hospital was mainly led by party members. My classmates in Wudu said that the epidemic was very serious and there was no specific medicine for the symptoms. There were too many patients in Wudu and the hospital had no beds left. Many doctors and nurses were also infected..."

"You are a neurologist and Xiaoxue is from the obstetrics and gynecology department. How can we send the two of you?" Qin Lan was so anxious that she could hardly sit still. She had been listening to the conversations between Xiao Zhengchun and Xiao Yichen all night and felt extremely uneasy. She always felt that the boss and Xiaoxue were going to be on the front line, and her heart was in her throat.

"Mom, don't worry." Song Xiaoxue sat next to Qin Lan and comforted her, "Our Mocheng Sixth Hospital has also sent some experts to support us this time. All of our hospitals are cooperating with them. Don't worry, Yi Chen and I will take good care of ourselves." As she was speaking, her cell phone kept vibrating again, and she hurried to check the messages in the group.

Xiao Yichen took over the conversation: "Mom, it's okay. Didn't we survive the SARS in 03? Don't worry, experts from all over the country will come to support us. We will be fine."

"Yi Yang, Xiao Xue and I are not at home, so the house is left to you. Xiao Xue and I bought some alcohol and masks earlier, and we have them all ready at home. What I want to talk about is Wolong Mountain. I will forward you a version of the preventive measures of the funeral home in Wudu, so you should be prepared for it. In addition, it is said that there is a shortage of medical equipment in Wudu. You can look for a way. If you have any channel, feel free to contact me." Xiao Yichen seldom speaks so much, and today it seems like he is explaining his funeral affairs.

Xiao Zhengchun finally spoke up: "You two must protect yourselves. If you need anything, tell your family as soon as possible."

"Okay, Dad, it's almost time. Xiaoxue and I are about to leave." Xiao Yichen stood up, and Song Xiaoxue also hugged Qin Lan and followed her out, pushing the luggage.

"Brother, sister-in-law..." Xiao Ye's voice was a little choked, and she also realized that her brother and sister-in-law's trip to Wudu this time was very dangerous.
