Ning Junyan briefly talked to Gu Yaojia about the child's current physical condition. In fact, these attending physicians had already talked to Zhou Yan, Gu Yaojia and the others. Then he talked about the follow-up treatment after the operation, Gu Yaojia listened silently and kept nodding.

Chen Yuncheng stood next to him and forwarded the photo of Zhou Yan's ID card in Gu Yaojia's mobile phone WeChat to himself, and then he returned the mobile phone to Gu Yaojia.

When leaving, Gu Yaojia asked Chen Yuncheng, "Brother Cheng, are you going to find Zhou Yan?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "I don't know if I can find him."

Gu Yaojia nodded, "Anyway, thank you very much." She said this to Chen Yuncheng and Ning Junyan at the same time.

Ning Junyan responded calmly: "You can thank him."

Chen Yuncheng couldn't help but glance at Ning Junyan, and then said to Gu Yaojia, "Don't worry about it, take good care of the child."

Taking the elevator down to the lobby on the first floor, Ning Junyan went directly to the finance office to swipe the card to prepay the child's treatment fee.

He came out of the office and saw Chen Yuncheng sitting quietly on the seat against the wall. As soon as he saw him, he immediately stood up.

Ning Junyan walked to Chen Yuncheng.

Chen Yuncheng asked him, "Are you still going to work?"

Ning Junyan raised her wrist and glanced at the time, and replied, "I haven't gotten off work yet, but I don't have any work for now."

Chen Yuncheng looked at him and suddenly didn't know if he should say to leave, but if he didn't leave, he didn't know what else to do in the hospital.

At this moment, Ning Junyan suddenly said, "I have two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Chen Yuncheng gave a soft "um" and waited for his next words.

Ning Junyan said, "Can you go out with me for two days?" Before Chen Yuncheng answered, he said again: "All consecutive vacations are more precious to me."

Chen Yuncheng was silent and didn't answer immediately. His expression was even a little solemn. First, he had the same ambiguous feeling last night. Second, he didn't really want to be in the situation where Ning Junyan had just helped him so much. Ning Junyan was rejected, but he did have other arrangements.

After a while, he said to Ning Junyan, "I want to visit Zhou Yan's hometown tomorrow." He tried his best to keep his tone and expression very sincere, and he didn't want Ning Junyan to think that he was just making excuses.

Ning Junyan was not angry, and asked him calmly, "Is Zhou Yan that important?"

Chen Yuncheng said: "I think I have a responsibility to Zhou Yan."

Zhou Yan was five or six years younger than him, and within a year of being brought back by his godfather, his godfather and godmother were arrested by the police, and they spent far less time with him than Ning Junyan. But when Chen Yuncheng came out to work at the age of eighteen, within two years, he met Zhou Yan, who also came out to work and earn money. At that time, to the adult Chen Yuncheng, Zhou Yan was really still a child.

For so many years, Zhou Yan has always trusted and relied on Chen Yuncheng very much. Once Chen Yuncheng was injured and hospitalized, Zhou Yan went everywhere to lend money to Chen Yuncheng to pay for the hospitalization. The reason why Zhou Yan got to know Zhang Wenyong was through Chen Yuncheng. People like Zhang Wenyong are not good people. Although Zhou Yan did not listen to Chen Yuncheng's advice and insisted on continuing to work with Zhang Wenyong, Chen Yuncheng always felt that everything started because of him.

Now as long as he can do it, he must pull Zhou Yan.

Ning Junyan looked at him calmly and said, "Okay."

Chen Yuncheng didn't understand what Ning Junyan meant for a while, he hesitated a little, and then said, "I'm sorry, next time as long as you have time, I'll invite you out to play, you can go anywhere."

Ning Junyan didn't seem to care much about this issue, he just said, "I will accompany you to find Zhou Yan tomorrow."

Chen Yuncheng suddenly showed a surprised expression.

Ning Junyan continued: "Is it the address on the ID card?" He had seen it on Gu Yaojia's mobile phone just now.

Chen Yuncheng said subconsciously, "No, it's too troublesome."

"No trouble," Ning Junyan said, "you said it was a responsibility."

Chen Yuncheng said: "But Zhou Yan's matter has nothing to do with you. You have already helped so much, how can I trouble you again."

Ning Junyan said, "It's okay, the last thing I don't mind is that you cause me trouble."

Chen Yuncheng didn't say what was on his lips, because although Ning Junyan's expression was serious, his tone seemed to contain a frivolous teasing, and Chen Yuncheng didn't even know if this was his own delusion.

However, the next moment, Ning Junyan's tone became serious, he said, "You have to pay it back anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on his body suddenly rang. He said to Chen Yuncheng softly, "Sorry," he picked up the phone and walked aside to pick it up.

Chen Yuncheng looked at his back with mixed emotions.

After a minute, Ning Junyan hung up the phone and came over and said to Chen Yuncheng, "The director is looking for me, and I'm going back to the department."

Chen Yuncheng nodded, "Go get busy."

Ning Junyan said, "When do you want to leave tomorrow?"

Chen Yuncheng opened his mouth, but couldn't say what he refused, and finally said, "Come soon."

Ning Junyan nodded, "How about I pick you up at 7:30?"

Chen Yuncheng said, "Okay."

Before Ning Junyan left, he put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, everything can be solved."

Chen Yuncheng forced a smile and said, "I know."

Before 7:30 the next morning, Chen Yuncheng opened the shutter and saw that Ning Junyan's Land Rover was parked in front of his store.

Ning Junyan was not in the car, but stood on the side of the road leaning against the car, wearing the thick down jacket he wore last time.

Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised, "Why didn't you tell me when you arrived?"

Ning Junyan glanced at the time and said, "It's not even half past seven, so I can't bear to bother you."

Chen Yuncheng actually woke up long ago. He had something in his heart, and he didn't sleep very well last night. Apart from Zhou Yan's affairs, he couldn't help but think about Ning Junyan's attitude.

All this made Chen Yuncheng upset.

It takes about five hours to drive from the city to the small county where Zhou Yan lives. If everything goes well, you should be able to go back and forth on the same day; if Zhou Yan is not found, or Zhou Yan does not go back at all, then there is no need to stay there overnight.

So Chen Yuncheng only brought his wallet and mobile phone, nothing else, he just pulled down the rolling shutter and locked it from the outside.

After locking the door, he asked Ning Junyan, "Have you eaten breakfast? Do you want to leave after breakfast?"

Ning Junyan said, "What do you want to eat?"

Chen Yuncheng glanced at the noodle shop next door and asked, "Can I eat noodles?"

Ning Junyan said, "Yes, I can."

The owner of the noodle restaurant and Chen Yuncheng had known each other for a long time. It was too early and there was no business. He stood at the gate and kept looking at the Land Rover that Ning Junyan parked on the side of the road.

Seeing Chen Yuncheng and the others coming to eat noodles, the boss greeted Chen Yuncheng loudly and invited them to sit, and then asked Chen Yuncheng, "Is that your friend's car? I've seen it a few times."

Chen Yuncheng laughed and replied, "Yes."

The boss took a rag to wipe the table for them, and said, "A car worth more than 800,000 yuan? Yes."

Chen Yuncheng glanced at Ning Junyan and saw that Ning Junyan took two pairs of chopsticks out of the chopstick holder with a blank expression, and he said to the boss, "It's not mine that other people's cars are, how can I know."

Seeing that Ning Junyan didn't mean to talk to the boss, he turned around and entered the store with a dry smile.

Ning Junyan handed a pair of chopsticks to Chen Yuncheng and said, "You can take a car and drive it if you need it."

Chen Yuncheng raised his hand and brought over both pairs of chopsticks. While getting up to heat the chopsticks in the pot, he said, "I don't need it, I'm afraid I can't afford it."
