C267 The Only Choice
Xiao Chen reached out his hand to touch Wooh Zimei's pulse when he heard that. His eyebrows immediately knitted and the expression on his face became very serious.
Wooh Zimei indeed saved her life, but the injuries of her internal organs were still there. Moreover, her pulse was in disorder and there could be some abnormal danger at any time. She was not completely out of danger of her life, so she still needed to go through a period of treatment.
Seeing Xiao Chen taking his pulse for so long, his expression was still so serious. So she pushed Xiao Chen's hand away and said, "Don't look. I don't think you can see anything even if you do this."
Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and gave Wooh Zijiao an apologetic look. He then walked out of the ward by himself. Jian Shi and Qiang were stunned when they saw this, but they immediately followed him out.
"Mr. Xiao, what did you see just now?" Jian Shi asked carefully.
"There is no way to turn the situation around." Xiao Chen spat out these words, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
After all, doctors were just doctors. They could cure injuries, but they could not bring people back to life. If they really had the ability to bring people back to life, then doctors could not be called doctors. That was something that only gods could do.
Right now, the only thing that could calm Xiao Chen down was to pull Xu Da off his horse and show him his true face.
After returning to his ward, Xiao Chen said to Jian Shi, "I need to talk to you privately."
Jian Shi immediately understood and said to Qiang, "Watch outside. Don't let anyone get close to here."
"Okay!" Qiang nodded and walked out.
Seeing Qiang walk out, Xiao Chen was silent for a moment. He organized his thoughts and said, "Do you know that there are other industries hidden in the factories in Huanghai Village?"
Jian Shi frowned slightly when he heard that. He said, "I roughly guessed it, but the security there has been quite strict. It turns out that I sent a person to investigate, and in the end, he also disappeared. Now, we can't find out where he is."
"It seems that the water here is not ordinary." Xiao Chen sighed softly.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you mean?" Jian Shi seemed to have thought of something terrifying.
"I think you have been here for a year. You should be aware of some things." Xiao Chen's voice was a little heavy, as if this matter was still a huge burden to him.
"Of course I know about this. I have also told you about the situation in Wuling. Many people reject outsiders. People like me, who were transferred here by the capital, were also excluded." Jian Shi nodded and said.
"What you see is just a superficial phenomenon. Have you not thought about the nature of this series of events?" Xiao Chen seemed to be a little disappointed with what Jian Shi said.
"Essential?" Jian Shi was slightly stunned. For the past year, he had indeed suspected many things and investigated many things. However, they all thought that the people of Wuling were just rejecting outsiders. They had never thought about why it would be like this.
Although he felt that this was actually a very shameful thing to him, he didn't feel that there was anything shameful about it in front of Xiao Chen. Therefore, he said:
"Please give me some guidance, Mr. Xiao. I am indeed lacking in consideration in this aspect."
Xiao Chen looked at Jian Shi for a while and found that he really did not know what he was referring to. He said,
"People just want to see what they want to see. You think the people in Wuling are a bit xenophobic. Besides the influence of objective factors, most of the time, you believe in this matter. Am I right?"
Jian Shi was silent for a while after hearing this. He seemed to have an epiphany and said, "I understand now. What Mr. Xiao means is that I need to change my mind. This way, I can see the nature of some things clearly."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "What I mean is, have you thought about it? Why are the people in Wuling so repulsed in front of you? Is it really because they are naturally against outsiders? "
This made Jian Shi a little puzzled, and his face was full of confusion.
Xiao Chen felt a little helpless, so he directly said, "The reason why the people here reject you is not because they really reject outsiders. It is because someone is controlling you behind the scenes. You just can't see it."
"So that's how it is!" Jian Shi immediately felt enlightened. Previously, he had always wanted to achieve a lot of results. He wanted to let the majority of the people see his achievements and hope to change their views on him.
Now that Xiao Chen said this, he understood that there was actually someone behind all of this. Because this was the only way to explain everything. Otherwise, why would everyone... Even those who benefited from his work didn't show any gratitude to him.
Sometimes, when people did things, they would feel like they were hiding from Mount Tai. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Chen, an outsider, had seen through the nature of these incidents, Jian Shi probably wouldn't even know where he had lost.
"Then what should we do now? I will be transferred away next month. There is still less than a week left." Jian Shi's expression turned ugly.
Although Xiao Chen had woken him up, it seemed like his words had come a little late. He felt that he was very weak right now. The Wuling was going to be under Xu Da's control very soon.
Xiao Chen also knew that this matter was very urgent and difficult to deal with. If it wasn't for his lightning-fast means, it would be very difficult to end this matter.
At this moment, the only person Xiao Chen could think of was Old Hua Hwa Wenfeng. Although he was in the capital, as the number one star general of the empire, his power was enough to affect the situation in Wuling.
Xiao Chen knew that if he asked this old general to do this, it might bring him even greater trouble. But this was also something that he had no choice but to do. Now, Xiao Chen was at his wit's end. He had never thought that there would be so many corrupt officials in Wuling.
Moreover, all of them were linked together. One could only catch a bunch of them. One had to have enough strength to catch all the corrupt officials in one fell swoop.
"I will tell Elder Hua about this matter at that time. I hope that he can resolve this matter as soon as possible. As for how long it will take, I can't say for sure. I can only depend on luck." Xiao Chen said after thinking for a while.
