Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Introducing My Friend to Pei Jue Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Introducing My Friend to Pei Jue “No one knows Beidou Star better than I do!”
Elder Xuan’s face took on a melancholic expression.
Shen Shaojia was completely shocked!
“Grandpa Xuan, you were also a member of Beidou Star?”
Elder Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
“It’s all in the past. Back then, if it weren’t for Ye Qilan’s persuasion, who would have actually pursued the project?”
From Elder Xuan’s words, it seemed that he, like Ye Qilan, was one of the initiators of the Beidou Star project!
Elder Xuan helped Xuan Lengyue tuck in her blankets.
“The thing I regret most in my life is Beidou Star. At the beginning, Ye Qilan glorified the project extravagantly, claiming it was out of humanitarianism… I went along with it, as I too had skeletons in my closet that were in his hands.”
“Later when he stepped back, I left too. Over twenty years ago he found me and asked me to raise Xuan Jing and Xuan Zhen, so I did!”
Many of Elder Xuan’s decisions weren’t entirely up to him, and even now, reflecting back, he felt profound regret.
“Regret! But what’s the use of regret? It’s useless! The Beidou Star project should never have existed!”
Qingwu remembered accompanying Master Ji Changfeng on a visit to Elder Xuan, where Master Ji Changfeng even brought several paintings.
Qingwu was still puzzled over when Master Ji Changfeng had formed a friendship with Elder Xuan!
As it turned out, they knew each other from their time with Beidou Star!
“Then, what about my grandmother?”
Elder Xuan shook his head, “For your grandmother’s matters, you should ask your grandfather. If he doesn’t want to tell you, it’s not right for me, an old man, to blab.”
“My grandfather knew about Beidou Star?”
“Your grandfather almost blew up the Beidou Star’s base back in the day, what do you think?”
Qingwu pursed her lips, her brows slightly furrowed.
Elder Shen’s station was right on the border, a location coincidentally at the Beidou Star border!
Qingwu calmly stated, “Since grandfather couldn’t do anything about it, that just means the Beidou Star project was recognized by higher authorities.”
Shen Shaojia followed up with a question: “Since the Beidou Star project is so significant, who exactly signed it off?”
To support such a large project, it would need a highly influential person to sign off and ensure its protection, otherwise, such a project wouldn’t exist at all.
The allure of Beidou Star’s project was too great, filled with profitable opportunities, someone wanted to reap the benefits and stamped approval on Ye Qilan’s project proposal!
Elder Xuan smiled.
“Very astute, the child raised by Shen Lisu, better than the ones I raised. But there’s no need to dig deeper, the more you know, the less good it does.”
It seemed the old man was not willing to disclose the information he knew.
Qingwu looked intently at Elder Xuan for a moment, then suddenly said, “Grandma Pei kicked Ye into the water. Ye should still be recuperating. If you want to find him, just go to the Pei Family’s estate.”
“What did you say?”
Elder Xuan was clearly shaken!
His gaze fell on Pei Jue, and after receiving a confirming nod, he gritted his teeth and said, “Du Lanyi, that crazy woman! Unsettled even in her old age! She almost sent Ye Qilan to meet King Yan in her younger days…”
Remembering the deeds of Madam Pei, Elder Xuan was simply itching with irritation!
Shen Shaojia curiously asked, “What did grandma do?”
Elder Xuan’s face turned red with restraint, seeming to have a mouthful of scolding he wanted to unleash, but held back in the presence of his grandchildren.
“Du Lanyi was crazy even when she was young, I can’t figure out why Old Pei took a liking to her!”
Probably thinking it inappropriate to discuss such matters in front of his grandchildren, Elder Xuan sighed and glanced at Xuan Lengyue lying in bed.
He murmured to himself.
“Ah Yue, as long as you can live safely, let dad bear all the sins.”
The atmosphere in the ward was somewhat oppressive, with the smell of disinfectant especially strong.
Qingwu bent down to pick up Xuan Lengyue’s medicine box, pressed open the tin foil board, took out the pill, and looked at it carefully in her hand, frowning and saying, “This medicine is indeed not right.”
Originally, Qingwu thought that the words of Elder Pei’s wife earlier were out of caution.
After hearing what Elder Xuan said, Qingwu thought that maybe Elder Pei’s wife already knew something!
Upon checking all of Xuan Lengyue’s medications, Qingwu discovered that several of them had issues!
Shen Shaojia exclaimed in surprise, “Ah? Did grandma actually guess it right?”
“Send them for testing. Fortunately, she hasn’t woken up yet, so these drugs are not needed for now.”
The surgery of Xuan Lengyue was officially signed off by Chen Jianhong, but Pei Jue was clear that it should have been Qingwu who led the surgery, and the medications were also prescribed by her; she knew best the effects of those drugs!
In the short time since they left the operating room, the medications had problems!
Elder Xuan immediately requested the hospital to retrieve the surveillance footage of the ward.
“I’ll go to the surveillance room, you guys stay here and accompany A’yue.”
Shen Shaojia also followed quickly, supporting Elder Xuan as they left the ward together.
After they left, Pei Jue whispered softly, “Do you think grandma knows who did it?”
Qingwu raised her eyes and looked into Pei Jue’s eyes, her lips slightly curving up.
Their current tacit understanding seemed to have reached a point where they didn’t need to speak to know what the other was thinking!
“Yes, so I plan to ask your grandma about it. Are you coming with me? The person who could act under our eyes might not be so easily investigated, but before that, I need to go to the airport to pick someone up.”
This was the first time Qingwu had actively invited him to do something together!
Pei Jue was overjoyed, his eyes and eyebrows brimming with excitement.
He performed a somewhat informal hat-tipping gesture.
“Little Wu has forgotten, I’m currently an unemployed vagabond, with plenty of time. I might be injured and unable to be your driver, but I’d be happy to act as Ms. Shen’s bag-carrying attendant.”
Having the leader of the Pei Group carry bags seemed to Qingwu like she might be making too grand an appearance!
“I don’t have any bags to carry, but you can follow along.”
Xuan Lengyue’s ward had already been arranged with a nursing team, which was a professional group developed by Tian Liang while researching elder companion business, capable of ensuring Xuan Lengyue’s safety.
After greeting Shen Jishi who was waiting outside, Qingwu and Pei Jue left the hospital and headed towards the airport.
On the way, Pei Jue looked at the rapidly receding scenery, “The person you’re picking up, is it someone from Beidou Star?”
“Not really, but someone I trust. They’re not exactly an upright person, you’ll understand once you meet them.”
Being trustworthy was already a high compliment for Qingwu.
“Is Little Wu introducing me to other friends of yours?”
“Why not?”
Pei Jue’s lips carried a pleasant smile, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with tiny stars!
“Of course, it would be my honor.”
Driving Annie covered her mouth, her face full of a maternal smile!
…
Beijing International Airport.
A bald monk adorned with a gem-studded kasaya sat solemnly in the VIP seat, head bowed reading scriptures, his whole body seemingly shimmering.
The young man beside him looked at him with awe and admiration.
“Master Yu Chen, I am Xuan Zhen from the Xuan Family. Meeting is fate; I would like to invite the master to visit the Xuan Family for a short stay!”
Master Yu Chen’s Buddha beads slightly rotated in his hand, his head still lowered.
He had already used many reasons to refuse Xuan Zhen and was now losing his patience.
“I won’t go. Benefactor, you must believe in science, and try not to be superstitious!”
