140: Chapter 139 Serpentine Foul Qi 140: Chapter 139 Serpentine Foul Qi “You are…”
The military-clad man before him, Chen Hai, gave him a few once-overs.
For his age, to be wearing the rank of a lieutenant colonel was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
“I’m Ye Cheng, my younger sister is Ye Qingqing.” The man faced Chen Hai and nodded in response.
“Is something wrong with Sister Qingqing?” Chen Hai suddenly realized.
Today was the tenth of September, and although it hadn’t been half a month since he performed divination for Ye Qingqing, it was already not far off.
At that time, he had warned Ye Qingqing, advising her to be very careful during this period and to avoid trouble if possible.
It seemed his efforts had likely been in vain!
His well-intentioned advice must have fallen on deaf ears for Ye Qingqing.
“Brother Ye, when I did the divination for Sister Qingqing, I said that I have some insight into divination, and the results I derive are generally quite accurate!”
“Unfortunately, she took me for a fool.
When I told her she would face a great calamity within half a month, she almost turned against me on the spot.”
“How is she now?”
Chen Hai sighed and quickly asked the question.
He had always had a very good impression of Liu Chang and Ye Qingqing.
Now that Ye Qingqing was in trouble, he naturally wanted to help her if possible, not wanting to see her life fade away.
“As long as you were the one who did the divination, come with me immediately, you will see for yourself when you meet my sister what her situation really is!”
Ye Cheng clearly seemed more urgent than Chen Hai.
Without asking for Chen Hai’s opinion, Ye Cheng grabbed Chen Hai’s wrist and started to pull him outside.
The two military men standing at the door were likely under Ye Cheng’s command.
At once, they brought over a military off-road vehicle with military plates.
“Xiehe Hospital?
Is Sister Qingqing staying here?”
“Yes, her illness is a bit unusual, the doctors here have already done several full-body examinations on her, but they can’t find the cause of her illness!”
“More than ten days ago, Chen Hai, since you could predict her calamity, perhaps after seeing my sister, you might see something!”
“Medicine, astrology – I’m not proficient in medicine, I only have some insight into divination, whether I can see something or not, I can’t guarantee, I’ll have to see the situation.”
…
Half an hour later, the off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of Xiehe Hospital.
Of course, parking was left to someone else.
Getting out of the car, Ye Cheng dragged Chen Hai into the hospital in a hurry.
In the nine layers of the internal medicine building, inside a special care ward,
Chen Hai saw Ye Qingqing, who was currently unconscious, lying on a hospital bed.
Her lower abdomen was swollen, seemingly slightly protruding.
Her forehead was also burning hot, making her entire face exhibit an abnormal flush.
Gingerly, Chen Hai pried open her small mouth.
The breath she exhaled was extremely fetid and unpleasant.
Compared to a few weeks ago, when Chen Hai knew her, the Ye Qingqing lying on the hospital bed had lost a lot of weight and seemed completely changed.
“Chen Hai, can you see what’s wrong with my sister?” Ye Cheng looked on with an expression of urgency and anxiety.
Seeing Chen Hai with a furrowed brow and remaining silent, he promptly asked.
“Brother Ye, how long has Sister Qingqing been in this condition?
Has she been unconscious all this time?” Chen Hai frowned and asked in return.
“Three days ago, she just felt unwell, with some vomiting and diarrhea!”
“After being hospitalized, her condition didn’t improve but got worse!”
“In the last two days, she could vomit out even the porridge she tried to eat, and yesterday, she was conscious for three to four hours, but today, she has been unconscious all along.”
Ye Cheng sighed and continued: “I have already notified the family; if nothing unexpected happens, family members will arrive this afternoon!”
“If you have a way to help Qingqing, our family will remember this favor!”
Making such a promise was enough to show how important his younger sister Ye Qingqing was for Ye Cheng.
After all, those who know the Lingnan Ye Family understand how precious their favors are.
Of course, Chen Hai, who had limited exposure, was clearly unaware of this.
His willingness to follow Ye Cheng had nothing to do with considering any compensation.
“Brother Ye, where has Sister Qingqing been recently before she fell ill?
Do you have any idea?” Chen Hai asked again after some thought and with a furrowed brow.
“I know a bit about this matter!” Ye Cheng nodded.
He continued: “Her school started today, on September 10th.”
“In the past two years, she and some well-to-do classmates have consistently supported students in impoverished mountainous areas.”
“On September 1st, she got news that one of the kids she sponsored had a family issue and didn’t want to continue with schooling.”
“Upon hearing this news, my sister was very upset, and after discussing with a few classmates, she made a special trip to that mountainous area.”
“It took about three days to handle the matter, and when my sister returned, she was still fine, so her illness probably isn’t related, right?”
Ye Cheng looked at Chen Hai with suspicion and probed as he spoke.
“Mountainous area?
Which mountainous area did they go to?” Instead of responding directly to Ye Cheng’s words, Chen Hai asked again.
