Chapter 1898: Chapter 896 Invitation_2

By “small,” it means there aren’t many patients; it’s for high-end individuals, with excellent facilities and fewer patients, convenient enough to bring the whole ward into the building.

There’s only one relatively larger one, which is just in the preparation phase for opening and heavily advertised in Japanese news. It’s just a coincidence.

Then there’s the issue of educating the laborers. As long as they’re well-educated, to get those doctors to work honestly is the key.

Education is a big problem, and Xu Xiaoyan has thought about it quite a bit. She feels some people are quite innocent. But after Yan Fei promised to let those people reunite with their families afterwards, these issues ceased to be concerns.

Busy until dawn, Yan Fei received a call from Xiaohe.

He Qingzhi had just parted ways with Yan Fei for a few days, but he found Boss Yan quite agreeable. Hanging out in Hong Kong and Macao with a group of playboys, he thought of Yan Fei.

After all, he’s still young, not considering many things; he didn’t think about whether Yan Fei was busy or not and called straightaway. He spoke grandly, saying, come and play, we’ll cover all food and drink, let’s go have some fun on the gambling boat.

Yan Fei had no interest in that. Besides, with his wife in such a bad mood these days, how could he leave?

He thought about it and told Xiaohe that he had a house in Hong Kong, so they could contact The Fifth Young Master Guo once they arrived. If Guo had time, they could hang out together; if not, they’d go their separate ways. As for the gambling boat, he really couldn’t get away from home this time, maybe next time!

Xiaohe was a bit disappointed. Macao just returned, which made it much easier to go over there. Many people were curious about the legendary casinos and wanted to check them out. But since Yan Fei couldn’t leave, after some complaints, he asked for The Fifth Young Master Guo’s phone number and didn’t press further.

Yan Fei called The Fifth Young Master Guo, made the arrangements, and didn’t concern himself with these matters anymore.

He thought there wouldn’t be any more issues, but after spending a few days with his wife, just as the hospital arrangements were made and the kids hadn’t finished all their surgeries yet, Xiaohe called again.

This time, he was quite excited: “Boss Yan, you said as long as I found a boat, you would fund it, and we’d go defend the territorial waters together. Are you coming or not now?”

Yan Fei was taken aback: “Really? In just a few days, the investigation team is coming?”

“Yes!” Xiaohe proudly acknowledged his own well-informed nature. “Anyways, I’m ready, the boats are ready. We’ve got the costs covered for our brothers, just waiting to see if you’re coming?”

Yan Fei was provoked into agreement: “I’ll handle some matters here in the next couple of days and then come over.”

After hanging up, he quickly checked recent news, only to find that America’s investigation team was organized and about to set off. This time, they coordinated with several countries, ordered U.S. troops stationed in Japan to provide escorts, and planned to act in the next few days.

Besides being semi-reluctant, China still included Japan and a few other countries closely allied with America, as well as some southern countries that had lost ships embarrassingly, and a few small countries joining for fun.

Savvy people could see early on that this would likely yield no results, it’s just a spectacle to console those uninformed citizens, then come up with an ‘acceptable result’ for everyone — typically by bringing in some so-called experts to use jargon the common people can’t understand, explaining the issue in a convoluted way to fool those who don’t get it.

Yan Fei could even predict how they would explain it, the point being that more people didn’t understand, especially considering the panic it was causing among ordinary people. If nothing was done, it was clearly insufficient.

Defending territorial waters definitely wouldn’t involve civilian organizations; Xiaohe probably just found an excuse to go have fun. But since it came up conversationally, Yan Fei couldn’t refuse after being invited twice!

After agreeing with Xiaohe, Yan Fei also inquired with the magazine publication. They had submitted the paper ages ago, but it still hadn’t been published, which was quite frustrating. Fortunately, Yan Fei had experience with a prior paper’s publication and knew that patience was key here.

This time, the paper was selected for a domestic journal, and the procedure was simplified. After all, it’s essentially their internal matter, and the higher-ups were giving it quite a bit of attention. Now, it’s just a matter of going through the process, which, comparatively, is already quick.

Having entered the dinosaur world, he arrived beside Xu Xiaoyan, who was wearing a lab coat and mask, overseeing the wards.

“Nothing left outside?” Xu Xiaoyan was used to his god-knows-where antics and asked nonchalantly.

“Nothing now.” Yan Fei nodded. “I’m planning to head to Hong Kong briefly; America’s investigation team is going to the incident sea area for investigation. Xiaohe and his group have found a boat to join the commotion. Last time we were in the Capital…”

“If you’ve arranged things at home, then you can go, I won’t be able to accompany you these days anyway.” Xu Xiaoyan didn’t wait for him to finish speaking.

Yan Fei sighed internally, what was this? If his wife had nothing to do, she feared boredom, yet when she was busy, she couldn’t take care of him.

Seeing Yan Fei’s expression, Xu Xiaoyan quickly realized, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, and whispered in his ear: “You go ahead with your business, we can spend time together while you’re on the road.”

Yan Fei always flew while traveling; a car journey taking several hours could be covered in half an hour, and those few hours in between belonged to the beautiful, free time for the two of them.

“Yes, yes!” Yan Fei immediately perked up and vanished in a flash.

There wasn’t much to pack at home, just needed to check the rooms, lock the doors, and inform the doorman at the lab to feed the dog occasionally.

Then, he made a call: “Heizi, is that pathway ceremony tomorrow? I’m coming back now to catch it perfectly.”

Heizi was quite delighted: “Okay, I’ll inform them, don’t forget!”

…

The road between Sancha River Township and the county seat was completed. Initially, Yan Fei didn’t plan to go back, but since he was setting out, a detour on the way seems just right.

Took the car out, found a spot to directly drive into Vegetable Garden Island, then eagerly went to find his wife.

In just a short while, Xu Xiaoyan was in a bad mood again.

In fact, anyone with a bit of humanity, upon seeing a little girl turned into a disabled appearance, couldn’t possibly feel happy.

When Yan Fei entered, she was standing outside the hospital surgery room, eyes brimming with tears. Yan Fei’s irritability vanished instantly, and he reached out to wrap an arm around his wife’s shoulders: “There, now no one will bully them after arriving here. Once they recover, we’ll send them home.”

“Hmm!” Xu Xiaoyan nodded. “The few smaller ones might be harder to find, you need to come up with more ideas.”

“No worries, there are always ways. If necessary, we’ll spend some advertising expenses to definitely find their homes. No need to rush, wait till they are well-recovered. Sending them back now, some homes might not have the conditions for surgery. But you must be careful, try not to let them know there are dinosaurs here.”

“Hmm!”

…

Waiting outside for a long time, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly turned her head: “Do you ever wonder why some people are so inhumane?”

She had asked this question many times before, and Yan Fei could only give her the usual response: “Those inhumane people are currently paying the price for what they did, making it difficult for them even to wish for death!”

“Hmm!” Xu Xiaoyan nodded. “I’m tired, take me to sleep!”

Indeed, it was just for sleep, brought to Vegetable Garden Island; they hadn’t spoken much before Xu Xiaoyan, exhausted from days of mental and physical strain, fell fast asleep. Yan Fei tucked a blanket around her, flew out of the mountain cave, gathered some fish and dragon food, instructed the laborers to cook up a stew, then flew back to Sancha River.

From afar, one could see the newly completed road, which didn’t cost much.

People nowadays realized the benefits of road construction. For the villagers living on the southern bank, having this road to the county seat meant they could take vegetables from their gardens to sell directly. They no longer needed to rely on the bother of traveling far to attend markets, which was a good thing.

Thus, people hoped for roads to their homes, simply needing the road, not for the sake of road construction compensation.
