219: It was a false alarm.

Chen Su directly chose to acquire the information.

【Today's Intelligence has been refreshed】

【Today's Intelligence 1 (Grade B): The Host's younger uncle does not have intestinal cancer. Instead, it is slight abdominal pain caused by chronic gastroenteritis, and the bloody stool is due to hemorrhoids. Note: Although the Host's uncle does not have cancer, there are multiple polyps in his intestinal tract; surgical removal is recommended.】

【Today's Intelligence 2 (Grade B): The reason behind the extremely high tumor cure rate of Dr. Liu, Chief Physician at Fengcheng City First Hospital, is that he treats every patient as a tumor case regardless of whether they actually have one. If he cannot find an intestinal obstruction during surgery, he cuts off a section of normal intestine to show the family. Dr. Liu is morally corrupt and has accepted millions of yuan in bribes and kickbacks in recent years.】

【Today's Intelligence 3 (Grade C): A Chikungunya fever outbreak has occurred in Foshan City. It is highly contagious, with hundreds of citizens infected in recent days; please travel with caution.】

Today's Intelligence System was very productive.

It directly yielded two Grade B and one Grade C intelligence reports.

When he saw the first piece of intelligence,

Chen Su felt a wave of relief. To be told it was a misdiagnosis after being diagnosed with cancer...

That was the ultimate wish of every cancer patient.

Fortunately, it was a misdiagnosis. Although mid-stage intestinal cancer has a high probability of being cured,

having a hospital cut you open and remove a section of cancerous intestine...

That would cost you half your life.

Even after recovery, one's physical condition would certainly be much worse than a normal person's.

Luckily, it wasn't cancer.

The knot in Chen Su's chest was completely swept away.

His mood, which had been suppressed all day, immediately lightened... however, his happiness didn't last long before he saw the second piece of intelligence.

His entire expression darkened again.

This Dr. Liu was exactly the attending physician for Chen Su's younger uncle, Chen Yong.

The same doctor Chen Su had stuffed ten thousand yuan into his hand that afternoon.

Fuck!

Chen Su's anger flared up instantly.

This damned Dr. Liu—calling him morally corrupt was an understatement.

Thinking about his office filled with silk banners from patients praising his 'Miraculous healing touch,'

Chen Su found it laughable!

An extremely high cancer cure rate?

Damn it, when people didn't have cancer, he treated them as if they did.

It would be strange if you couldn't 'cure' something that wasn't there in the first place.

He definitely couldn't let this bastard off easily... The third piece of intelligence was about the Chikungunya fever outbreak in Foshan City. Chen Su and the people around him wouldn't be going there at all,

so there was no need to pay it much mind.

Worried about waking Li Chuxia, Chen Su got out of bed quietly.

He went to the living room and called He Youwen.

“Hello? It's the middle of the night, what's up?”

He Youwen's voice on the phone was listless, as if his mouth were stuffed with cotton.

One could tell at a listen that he had been in a deep sleep and was forcibly awakened by Chen Su's call.

“No overtime tonight?”

“You bastard, can't you wish me some good? Can't I get off work early for once? Working overtime every day... even an iron man couldn't handle it.”

“Bring a few people to Fengcheng City First Hospital tomorrow morning at eight.”

“Who are you annoyed with now?”

“Get lost. You really can't say anything nice. I'm a 'Four-Virtues Youth' of Maple City; how could my character be so low? Just remember to be there on time tomorrow.”

“Got it, got it. Hanging up, going to sleep!”

...After finishing the call, Chen Su drove to the hospital.

Since his uncle's health wasn't in serious danger,

there was no reason for Father Chen and his Aunt to stay hunched over sleeping on hospital chairs.

Wouldn't it be more comfortable to go home and sleep in a bed?

...Now that autumn had arrived, the wind blowing through Maple City finally carried a hint of chill.

When Chen Su arrived at the hospital, Father Chen was dozing on a bench outside the ward.

His Aunt was sleeping on a reclining chair inside the ward.

He quietly approached Father Chen and patted his shoulder.

“Dad!”

Father Chen woke up instantly. Looking up, he saw Chen Su standing in front of him.

“Why are you here? Didn't you go home to rest?”

“Yeah, I came to take you and Aunt home to sleep.”

“What nonsense are you talking? If your Aunt and I both go back, who will watch your uncle?”

“Don't worry, Uncle is fine. The hospital misdiagnosed him. A classmate of mine who studies medicine just called to tell me.”

“Uncle doesn't have intestinal cancer; it's chronic gastroenteritis and hemorrhoids.”

Hearing Chen Su say this, Father Chen's sleepiness vanished instantly.

The gloom in his eyes also quietly dissipated.

“For real? You're not pulling my leg, are you?”

“Oh, it's true. Why would I lie to you? Let Uncle stay here for now. The test results showed polyps, so we can handle the discharge after the surgery is done tomorrow.”

“Alright then. Your Aunt is sleeping on the recliner in the ward; go in and call her.”

“Okay!”

...Ten minutes later, Chen Su was driving Father Chen and Chen Xins mother toward his home at Crystal Lake Mirror.

The moment they stepped through the door,

both of them were captivated by the luxurious, large flat in Chen Su's home.

“Xiao Su, you bought this house yourself?”

Chen Su's Aunt was full of praise.

Ever since the doctors at the county hospital suspected Chen Yong had intestinal cancer, she had been living in fear.

After Chen Su told her just now that Chen Yong's illness wasn't cancer,

her mood instantly cleared up like the sun breaking through the clouds.

She felt much lighter.

“Yes, Aunt. It wasn't easy for you to come all this way; stay for a few days before heading back.”

The large flat had a total of four rooms.

Chen Su and Li Chuxia slept in one.

Chen Xin slept in one.

As for the remaining two,

it was perfect for Father Chen and Chen Xins mother to have one each.

The rooms were quite clean and didn't need much tidying.

Chen Su brought out two sets of bedding and simply made the beds.

“Dad, Aunt, the air conditioning switch for the room is this one.”

“Press this button once to turn it on, press it again to turn it off. These two arrows are for adjusting the temperature.”

He pointed to the central air conditioning switch on the wall and introduced it to them.

In Xiulin Village, they almost never used air conditioning when sleeping in the summer.

Even if they had it in a small place, it was the wall-mounted type.

Most people didn't know what central air conditioning looked like.

“It's late, you should go back and rest too,” Father Chen said plainly.

“Okay!”

...After the heavy stone in their hearts was lifted, everyone slept soundly that night.

At 6:30 the next morning,

Li Chuxia got up on time to prepare breakfast for everyone.

She opened the bedroom door quietly and, after stepping out,

found someone sitting on the sofa again.

Moreover, there seemed to be someone in the kitchen as well.

Li Chuxia walked closer and saw it was actually Father Chen.

“Uncle, weren't you at the hospital? How did you get back?”

Father Chen also noticed Li Chuxia approaching at this moment.

“Xiao Su's uncle's intestinal cancer was a misdiagnosis. Xiao Su drove us back last night.”

“A misdiagnosis?”

“Xiao Su didn't tell you?”

Li Chuxia shook her head: “I fell asleep shortly after coming back last night. He probably waited until today to tell me.”

“It's still early, why didn't you sleep a bit longer?”

Father Chen wasn't at all surprised that Li Chuxia lived here too.

However, he was a bit surprised that she got up so early...
