She had her elder brother find two professional fishing teams with very advanced equipment, sending them to search further afield.
Then, she posted Zhan Bei Jue's photo online, attempting to issue a wanted notice with a large reward.
Her elder brother stopped her.
"I understand how you feel, and I know you want to find him with all your heart. As long as it's low-key and not public, whatever you want to do, I'll cooperate."
"But a wanted notice is out of the question. Ah Jue's identity and the company's current situation cannot withstand such a major upheaval."
"It's highly possible that once the news breaks, the Zhan family's decades of foundation will be ruined. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for Grandpa."
"Years ago, he lost his son before his time, sending his own father away. Now, to face a company collapse and a desolate old age, can you bear it?"
At this moment, Jiang Nan Fang deeply resented Zhan Bei Jue's identity.
If he were just an ordinary person, an utterly common citizen.
He surely wouldn't have to suffer so much.
"You and Grandpa should go back first. The company needs you."
"I want to stay here and find him by any means I can think of. I won't go back until I find him."
—
Treated in the most basic way, Zhan Bei Jue lay there for a week and managed to overcome the fever.
After Da Mei checked his temperature and found that he had finally returned to normal.
Zhan Bei Jue saw a smile on Min'er's face for the first time.
"So he's not going to die?"
"Yes, he's not going to die. And he doesn't need to take those expensive medicines anymore. Do you want to rest for a few days and not go to the night shift anymore?"
Min'er stopped smiling.
"No. Even if he gets better, I still owe you money. It's not easy to find this job, and it's not tiring anyway, so I'll keep doing it."
Da Mei, as a doctor, reminded her that working non-stop like this could also lead to trouble.
"The news has been reporting many cases of young people dying suddenly. Aren't you afraid?"
"Everyone in the family is counting on you. You can't collapse."
"I understand, don't worry."
With that, she dragged her tired body to go to the night shift again.
Zhan Bei Jue subconsciously reached out and tapped the basin.
Min'er looked back at him.
Zhan Bei Jue's face had already subsided from swelling, and he looked at her with his dark, clear eyes, appearing quite pitiful.
She stopped. "Do you have something to tell me?"
Zhan Bei Jue nodded.
"What do you want? Didn't you eat enough just now?"
He shook his head again.
"Need to go to the toilet?"
He blinked.
Da Mei quickly said, "Then I'll go out. You can help him."
Min'er skillfully raised her foot to get the basin.
Zhan Bei Jue made a distinct sound from his throat, "No."
It seemed he had recovered a lot, able to make normal sounds.
They had known each other for half a month, and this was the first time Min'er had heard him speak in a normal male voice.
It was quite young and pleasant to hear.
"What is it? You don't want to urinate, you want to defecate?"
Come to think of it, his constipation was quite serious.
He hadn't had a bowel movement in half a month, he must be about to burst.
Zhan Bei Jue was embarrassed.
But he had to say it, even if he was embarrassed, he couldn't hold it in until he died.
"Yes."
"Then this might be a bit troublesome for you right now."
Min'er squatted on the ground, holding the basin, appearing to be thinking about how to help him.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly shook his head.
"I can go to the toilet. I don't need to do it like this. Can you help me up?"
Min'er remained squatting, looking at him.
"Your entire leg is in a cast, you can't bend it, and your shoulder is also fractured. How can I help you?"
"Don't be shy with me. I've taken care of bedridden patients before. I've seen everything. This is nothing. Just do it like this."
Zhan Bei Jue hadn't expected that, despite her young age, she had worked as a caregiver.
How desperate for money could she be?
"No, no, no,"
But he still couldn't get past his own mental block, and Zhan Bei Jue insisted on getting up.
Min'er became impatient.
"Do you know how troublesome it is for you to get up? I can't move you by myself, and I'll have to call Meida. Besides, Meida's children will be scared when they see you."
"My work time is almost up, I can't wait that long. Don't make a fuss."
With no other choice, Zhan Bei Jue had to listen to her.
He solved the problem in an extremely awkward posture.
Min'er didn't look into the basin, pinching her nose with one hand and carrying it out with the other.
A moment later, she returned.
"Da Mei said your bowel movements are quite normal, so don't worry, you'll get better soon."
"If you need anything, remember to ask her. I'm leaving."
He wasn't feverish anymore, the pain in his body had lessened considerably, and he could speak. Zhan Bei Jue actually wanted to chat with her.
To ask where this was, and what had happened before.
But Min'er was too busy, so Zhan Bei Jue could only talk to Da Mei.
Hearing him tap the basin below, Da Mei put a toy in the child's hand and hurried downstairs.
Zhan Bei Jue asked her where this was and if she knew who he was.
Da Mei looked incredulous.
"You really have amnesia? Your fever damaged your brain. Are you sure you can't remember anything?"
"This is Takla Town, and that girl is Min'er. You really don't remember anything?"
"Min'er? Takla?"
Zhan Bei Jue closed his eyes and tried hard to recall these two names in his mind.
But as soon as he exerted himself, his head throbbed severely. He couldn't remember anything at all.
"Why is Min'er always so busy? How old is she? Is she very short of money?"
"I'm sorry, that's her private matter, and I can't tell you. If you want to ask, you can ask her yourself when she gets back."
Da Mei was quite protective of personal privacy, so Zhan Bei Jue stopped asking.
"I'm sorry, can I make one last request?"
"What is it?"
"Can I wash my face and brush my teeth?"
He knew that in his current state, bathing was a luxury.
But it was truly unbearable not to brush his teeth or wash his face for a long time.
He didn't need a mirror to know that he must look like a ghost right now.
"Yes. Then I'll go out and buy you a toothbrush. Please wait a moment."
Soon, Da Mei returned.
She used a warm towel to wipe his face.
She wiped the basin water until it turned dark brown before her face was clean.
Indeed, he was quite young.
His face had subsided from swelling, and the dirt on his skin was wiped away.
His features looked quite clean and handsome.
For the first ten days, he had been swollen and dirty, looking like a pig's head.
Suddenly transforming into a handsome guy, Da Mei couldn't help but joke with him.
"So you were a frog prince under a spell. Now that you've revealed your true face, Min'er will surely be surprised when she sees you."
She was about to brush Zhan Bei Jue's teeth, but Zhan Bei Jue was not used to so much contact with her.
He felt extremely awkward. "I'll do it myself, thank you."
Da Mei watched him from the side, and then, as if thinking of something, suddenly burst out laughing.
"Your hair and eye color are the same as Min'er's. Perhaps you are from the same country."
"Min'er has suffered too much. If a prince could appear and save her, I think I would thank the heavens."
