Chapter 388: A Mission in the Middle of the Night?

"Was that your second aunt just now?" Lu Ye asked on the other end of the phone. "I think I heard her ask you for money?"

"right."

Bai Zhi told Lu Ye about Lu Ya's situation.

She also mentioned Xie Zheng's help in the investigation.

"He likes to join in the fun."

Xie Zheng's fondness for joining in the fun is his own business, but Lu Ye still reminded Bai Zhi, "Wife, just focus on your work and don't get involved in these messy things. Just touch on them briefly."

Given Xie Zheng's personality, he could easily manipulate Wang Shufen. Whether he was watching the show or helping her, he wouldn't suffer any losses at Wang Shufen's hands.

But Lu Ye was worried that his wife, Wang Shufen, would cause trouble for her.

Bai Zhi obediently replied, "I know, I didn't mean to get involved."

As the two were talking, it seemed like someone was calling Lu Ye from the other side.

His tone was quite urgent.

"Honey, something's come up, I have to hang up now, you should get some sleep."

"ah?"

"You should rest." Lu Ye hung up the phone quickly.

Bai Zhi clearly heard someone calling him urgently on the phone just now.

She sat on the bed, holding a mobile phone, her eyes filled with worry.

Is Lu Ye perhaps facing another unexpected mission late at night?

Although she knew that once Lu Ye returned to the army, he would not be able to just hold a sinecure in the camp.

Normally, it wouldn't be so bad if she didn't know, but she clearly heard him being called away on the phone just now, and she really couldn't feel at ease.

But far away at home, all she could do at that moment was worry.

Bai Zhi lay in bed unable to sleep, her thoughts wandering, and she began to make plans for her future.

She needs to join the army as soon as possible and stay with Lu Ye, so that if anything unexpected happens to him, at least she can know in time.

If any health problems arise, they can receive effective treatment.

Because of the nature of his profession, from the day she decided to be with him, she was mentally prepared for all sorts of things.

Fortunately, their research and development team's work is nearing completion.

She will be free once her work at the military hospital is finished.

The next morning, Bai Zhi stared at her dark circles as she went downstairs.

She woke up later than usual today.

As Zhang Ma was setting the table, she saw Bai Zhi and said that Lu Shan had been called away by the hospital before dawn.

Upon hearing her words, Bai Zhi looked worried. "They left before dawn?"

Aunt Zhang replied, "Yes, it was around five o'clock. I got up to use the restroom, and Xiao Shan rushed downstairs, saying there was something going on at the hospital."

When Lu Shan was mentioned, Zhang Ma sighed, her voice full of heartache, "She has worked so hard all these years, working day and night on the operating table."

Lu Shan was called away in the early hours of the morning, probably because there was an emergency at the hospital and she was needed for an emergency surgery.

It was a little after five o'clock; she must have just fallen asleep not long ago.

Zhang Ma said to Bai Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, have some food before you go."

"OK."

Bai Zhi glanced at her watch; she could have enough time to eat breakfast and head out.

He then went to the kitchen to get breakfast.

Lu Zheng'an and Xie Yun usually leave early to eat at the company cafeteria.

Only a few of them eat breakfast at home.

Lu Ya yawned and came downstairs.

She's not quite used to the early morning commute, so she often has trouble getting up in the morning.

I barely managed to get out of bed, and I was in a daze.

When the porridge, steamed buns, and side dishes were served, Grandpa Lu came out.

At the dinner table, Lu Ya kept yawning.

Seeing her dejected appearance, Wang Shufen frowned and said irritably, "From now on, you should go to bed earlier at night and stop reading novels."

This girl has been secretly reading novels in bed since she was in middle school.

In recent years, with the opening up and progress of society, she bought all kinds of foreign novels and filled her bookshelves with them.

If someone who didn't know her entered her room, they would think she was a top student.

Only she, as the mother, knew what kind of rubbish she was seeing.

I thought that now that she's grown up and busy, she wouldn't have the energy to read novels anymore. But last night, when she went out of Bai Zhi's room and Lu Ya went back in, she followed her in and there was another novel on the bedside table.

Just by looking at the cover, it's all about love and romance.

Wang Shufen realized that this girl had ruined her brain by reading those romance novels.

Upon hearing Wang Shufen's words, Old Lu looked at Lu Ya and reminded her, "Xiao Ya, once you start working, you should read more useful books related to your work."

The old man said sternly, "You're not a child anymore. You need to learn to improve yourself. You can't just keep wasting your life like this."

Lu Ya strongly disagreed with the old man's words. She put down her porridge bowl and replied righteously, "Grandpa, there are so many people in this world. Not everyone has to dedicate themselves to the country. I don't break the law or cause trouble for society. I just live my life as a law-abiding citizen. Does that mean I'm just wasting my days?"

“I have my own job now, and I’m not idle every day. You can’t discriminate against me based on my profession.”

Mr. Lu stated his opinion with a serious expression, "The word 'discrimination' has never existed in our family."

"No matter what job you do, I hope you can improve and become a backbone of the industry."

"Even if you're sweeping the streets, you should be the one who sweeps the cleanest. At the very least, you need to be in good spirits every day. How can you do your job well if you're so young and listless?"

Lu Ya couldn't argue anymore. She said "Oh," picked up her bowl, and continued drinking her porridge. "I understand."

Bai Zhi and Lu Ya finished their meal and were about to leave.

Bai Zhi rode away on her motorcycle, and Lu Ya chased after her. "Sister-in-law, can you give me a ride?"

She usually takes the bus or a taxi, but she has to wait for both.

Bai Zhi put on her hat and gloves, ready to ride her bike. When she saw Lu Ya chasing after her, she replied calmly, "Okay, but I can only take you to the intersection near the hospital, otherwise I'll be late."

When Lu Ya heard that Bai Zhi couldn't even drop them off at their workplace by motorcycle, she pouted and said, "Sister-in-law, then you go ahead, I'll take a car."

"OK."

Bai Zhi straddled the motorcycle, stepped on the gas, and the motorcycle sped away.

She happened to run into Shen Qian, who was parking her car, at the hospital parking shed.

"Good morning, Xiaozhi."

"morning."

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Shen Qian waited for her to take off her mask, looked her over, and teased her with a smile, "Why are your eyes like that? Did you miss Lu Ye so much that you couldn't sleep? Were you having trouble sleeping alone?"

Bai Zhi met her teasing gaze, coughed lightly, and said with a straight face, "Mind your own business and worry about yourself. Hurry up and get married."

When this topic was brought up, Shen Qian sighed and her expression darkened.

Bai Zhi glanced back at her and chuckled, "Why are you sighing? Are you still thinking about Xie Zheng?"

Shen Qian lowered her eyes and remained silent.

"He said he's against marriage, so give up. There are so many excellent men out there. Look for someone else, and don't hold onto your hopes for him."

Bai Zhi leaned closer to her and asked mysteriously, "What do you think of my cousin?"
