CHAPTER 1453: CHAPTER 1454: HOW FAR HAVE YOU AND MU YUN GONE?

The doctors outside the door hurriedly took out pens from their pockets to clearly write down the names of the traditional Chinese medicines mentioned by the old military doctor.

After handling the matter properly, the old military doctor waved to you, who had been standing with a smile: "What are you still standing there for? Follow me out."

You shrugged, followed the old military doctor out, and the old Chinese doctor instructed the accompanying personnel to disperse, not allowing them to follow.

As they watched you and the old military doctor leave, the few chief doctors who hadn’t yet dispersed began to discuss: "Hey, who is this young man?"

"How would I know? That kid doesn’t look very old, yet to receive such treatment from Old Liang is unexpected."

"Exactly, and did you notice how affectionate Old Liang seemed? He might be the grandson of one of Old Liang’s old friends."

The head nurse came over, clapped her hands, and said, "Don’t make wild guesses. There are many things you all shouldn’t know about, so just disperse."

After the other doctors left, the head nurse turned and walked over to Tau Yan, kindly taking her hand and said: "Senior Sister Tao, I really didn’t recognize you just now. If Old Liang hadn’t asked, I might still be in the dark."

Tau Yan appeared a bit constrained, her head slightly lowered: "That was all a long time ago. Now I’m just a cleaner."

The head nurse gently patted the back of Tau Yan’s hand, softly laughing: "I know a bit about your past, but that’s all behind you. Now, with such an influential figure backing you, your future path should be smooth."

"Wha... I’m confused by your words. Which influential figure?"

The head nurse was momentarily stunned and immediately said: "Don’t you know, Senior Sister? That young man earlier is a very special person, the special work credentials you hold are his! Think about it, Senior Sister, he’s only about eighteen, right? An eighteen-year-old with special work credentials, what an extraordinary person! These credentials aren’t something inherited from parents or grandparents, they’re entirely earned by one’s genuine abilities, and you can tell just by Old Liang’s attitude towards him, this young man has a promising future!"

At this, the head nurse couldn’t help but glance at Yan Zisu, who stood next to Yan Dongqing, and before leaving, left a remark: "Senior Sister, you have a good daughter."

After everyone else left, Yan Dongqing and Tau Yan stared blankly at their daughter. Yan Zisu didn’t dare to meet her parents’ gaze, keeping her head slightly lowered, her hands gently pinching the corners of her clothes, her inner thoughts unknown.

In fact, Yan Dongqing and Tau Yan felt more astonishment than joy because they had never imagined that those special credentials would belong to you. If the credentials belonged to your grandfather, it would have been easier to explain, seeing that the old man had already accepted Yan Zisu as his granddaughter. His helping Yan Dongqing would be reasonable. But the head nurse’s words caused endless turmoil in Tau Yan and Yan Dongqing’s hearts. They were worldly people and understood the specialty of these credentials, which made them more curious about you.

But aside from curiosity, they also felt a growing sense of worry.

"Little Girl, tell Mom, what stage have you reached with Mu Yun?"

Being a mother, Tau Yan was more concerned about her daughter. Over the years, her daughter had suffered a lot with them, and she absolutely didn’t want her daughter to sacrifice her lifelong happiness because of this.

"Mom, we... we’re nothing." Yan Zisu kept her head slightly bowed, only tightening her little hands around her collar.

"How long have you known each other?" Tau Yan asked a common question any mother would ask.

Yan Zisu thought for a moment and said: "Actually, we only met yesterday. Mom, don’t overthink it. He’s a good person and probably just wanted to help Dad."

Yan Zisu initially wanted to add "It has nothing to do with me," but she swallowed the words down again because, deep in her heart, she still wanted your approval.

Although Tau Yan was quite fond of you, that was only on the surface. Their understanding of you was really limited, given they only met you yesterday. Besides, it seemed unlikely for someone to make such contributions after knowing a person for merely a day or two. At this point, Tau Yan found it even more difficult to see through the warm-hearted you.

"Yan, we’re getting old, and many things should just go with the flow. Regardless, Mu Yun is a good-hearted child and won’t deceive Little Girl. As for their future, it depends on their own destiny."

Tau Yan nodded, sighing: "That’s all we can do."

Meanwhile, you were taken by the old military doctor to a relatively secluded spot, with few passersby around.

"Do they know about your return?"

"No, I don’t plan to report anything to them." You casually sat on the flower bed beside you, crossed your legs, appearing at ease, without any restraint.

The old military doctor looked directly at you: "Kid, you’re still so stubborn. You have to understand, your Grandpa Du’s actions back then were for the greater good. Considering how widespread the implications of that incident were, we couldn’t act too openly, or it could have very well sparked a world war!"

"World war or whatever, it’s none of my business. It has nothing to do with me. Grandpa Liang, I’m now a stateless person. Even though my mom recently reissued my student card and ID, anyone with a bit of capability can trace my information. I don’t fall under any country’s legal jurisdiction, hmph, hmph."

With two cold hmphs, you appeared with a smile, but there was a strong sense of killing intent in your eyes.

"Mu Yun, no matter what, you’re a Chinese soldier, and you have Chinese blood running through your veins! Moreover, I can responsibly tell you, you are still a Heavenly Level special warfare member of the country. Otherwise, how could the credentials you gave them be validated?"

You shrugged nonchalantly: "Hmph, Heaven and Earth, Mysterious Yellow, these four levels, how many soldiers in China have shed blood and youth for them. This work credential was earned with my life; of course, they wouldn’t dare revoke it! Heh, my grandfather was right; soldiers should never get tangled with politics. Grandpa Liang, please inform Commander Du that when I charged out of the camp alone, Tianzhu was already dead."

"Your character is exactly like the old platoon leader’s, carved from the same mold!" The old military doctor couldn’t help but exclaim, then stepped forward and patted your shoulder, saying, "I’ll be honest with you; from the moment you appeared at Paris Airport, you were already under our protection. Your Grandpa Du was the first to get news of you. During the three years you were missing, he couldn’t eat or sleep well for a single day. He nearly went to the old platoon leader every two months, every time kneeling and crying, claiming he hadn’t guided you well and had failed the old platoon leader’s expectations."

You turned your head aside, remaining silent.
