Bai Qing seemed to remember the excuse she had come with at this moment, so she quickly said she had to go home to see her brother and invited everyone to her home as guests.
No one exposed her, and they agreed to her invitation.
Wei Yumeng first handed over the person they had just rescued to the rescue team and roughly described the process.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of him."
The rescue personnel carried the unconscious person out of the cave. Just as they were separating, Bai Qing suddenly exclaimed and grabbed the man being carried by the rescuers.
"Brother! What happened, brother?"
Hearing her words, everyone understood. The person Zhan Mohan and the others had mistakenly rescued was Bai Qing's brother.
Thus, they didn't need to go to Bai Qing's house, and the group went directly to the hospital.
Bai Qing's brother, Bai Yan, had lost a lot of blood. Although he received emergency treatment, he still fainted when the rescue personnel arrived.
"Don't worry, a blood transfusion will help. Fortunately, his wound was treated beforehand, otherwise, this kind of penetrating wound would be very dangerous."
After explaining the patient's condition, the doctor went to care for other patients. Although this disaster only affected this area, due to the lack of preparedness, many people were sent to the hospital. Even every hospital had insufficient beds. Bai Yan was placed in the hospital corridor to receive a blood transfusion, under very difficult conditions.
Seeing this, Jing Yan said that he would take Bai Yan back to Pengcheng for treatment once Bai Yan could be transferred.
This was supposed to be a good thing. He already knew Bai Qing had thoughts of betraying him, yet he was still willing to help her family. He had done a lot. Little did he know that while he was willing to overlook past grievances, Bai Qing refused his kindness.
Jing Yan couldn't understand, "Pengcheng's medical conditions are better than here, and there aren't so many patients. You haven't seen your brother for so many years. If you take him there, you can take good care of him. It's a win-win situation, why refuse?"
Bai Qing hesitated to speak, as if she had some unspeakable secret.
"You can tell me anything, and I will help you."
Jing Yan truly loved her, and as long as she asked, he would help her solve any problem.
However, Bai Qing's expression betrayed her. She still insisted on not speaking, which made Jing Yan feel helpless and even more angry.
Since returning to the country, Bai Qing was not as gentle and lovely as she was abroad. She always seemed to be preoccupied with many things, and there were always things she couldn't tell her boyfriend.
This made Jing Yan feel that their relationship was merely a nominal one, and inwardly, they were no longer lovers who could talk about anything.
Despite Jing Yan's dissatisfaction with Bai Qing's change, he did not press her for reasons.
One can never wake up someone who is pretending to sleep. As long as she refused to speak, asking more would be futile.
However, as long as their relationship still existed, the responsibilities should be borne.
After the blood transfusion, Bai Yan also slowly woke up. At this time, Zhan Mohan and the others had already returned to the hotel, leaving only Jing Yan to accompany the brother and sister.
Bai Yan was obviously excited to see Bai Qing by his side, but upon seeing Jing Yan next to her, his excitement subsided a bit.
"Qingqing, why are you back? Who is this?"
"This is my boyfriend."
As soon as Bai Qing finished speaking, Bai Yan immediately sat up from the hospital bed, agitated, "What? Your boyfriend? When did you get a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me? Who allowed you to have a boyfriend behind my back?"
Facing Bai Yan's rapid-fire questions, even Jing Yan was stunned. Did this brother seem a bit abnormal?
"Mr. Bai, we two..."
"You shut up!" Bai Yan roared, interrupting Jing Yan. He jumped off the bed, grabbed Bai Qing's collar, and said, "Tell me, who allowed you to date? How can you date?"
Seeing him treat a woman like this, and this woman being his girlfriend, Jing Yan immediately stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and pressed him heavily back onto the hospital bed, "Mr. Bai, please calm down."
"Calm down my ass! Get out of my way."
Bai Yan seemed to have gone mad and lunged at Bai Qing with a clear target.
Fortunately, Jing Yan was faster, holding his waist and bringing him back to the hospital bed.
"Doctor, this patient is emotionally agitated, please come and check on him."
Hearing the commotion, the doctor came over and quickly administered a sedative to Bai Yan. The effect of the drug was rapid. Within a few minutes, Bai Yan lost the strength to fuss. He stood up unsteadily and then sat down dizzily.
He pointed at Bai Qing, but couldn't say a word before being forced to fall asleep.
Bai Qing was so frightened that she slumped to the ground, seemingly still in shock.
She glanced at Jing Yan and explained, "This is why I refused to take my brother back. He has some mental issues and becomes very extreme when something happens."
Jing Yan looked at Bai Yan and knew he had misunderstood Bai Qing. To apologize, he proposed another plan.
"In that case, I'll help him contact a sanatorium. I believe he will improve with proper treatment."
After saying that, he walked to a secluded place and made a phone call. Bai Qing wanted to stop him but failed, and a worried expression involuntarily appeared on her face.
After a while, Jing Yan returned with a smile, "I've made arrangements. We'll take him with us when we go back, and he will definitely get better."
Bai Qing knew this was his good intention. If she refused, it would seem ungrateful and would lead to his questioning, so she had no choice but to pretend to be grateful and nod, "Thank you for thinking of me so thoroughly."
Seeing that she no longer objected, Jing Yan finally showed a slight smile, "Don't worry, his illness will be cured."
Bai Qing nodded, "Then after we return to Pengcheng, we'll take him directly to the sanatorium. I hope he can start treatment as soon as possible."
Jing Yan agreed, "I've already made arrangements there. We can go anytime."
After consulting with the hospital doctor and confirming that Bai Yan's condition was basically stable and he could be transferred, they decided to take Bai Yan back first and would not wait for Zhan Mohan and the others.
Zhan Mohan and the others did not delay for long. Their grandfather was still worried about them at home, and the sooner they returned, the more reassured their family would be.
So, after resting for one night, they drove back early the next morning.
After several hours of driving, the brothers took turns driving. They were eager to return home, so the journey was not too long.
Old Master Zhan was sitting in the living room and, upon hearing Cen Yuan say that the three of them had returned, he quickly came out leaning on his cane.
Seeing them all appear before him unharmed, Old Master Zhan repeatedly said, "It's good that you're back. Seeing you all, Grandpa is relieved."
