Chapter 2072: Chapter 2008: Within Three Days

He finished speaking, and Meng Xinian thought the same way.

“Have you found Little?”

“Found her. She came back last night, but now we don’t know where she’s gone.” Cheng Cheng said, handing him a list.

“I’ve temporarily fiddled with it a bit, but we still need someone to handle this, try to erase Little’s information.”

Just in case.

Meng Xinian nodded, quickly scanning through the list, and indeed saw Chiang Xiao’s name. His heart initially relaxed a little, but then tightened again.

She’s back.

But since she’s returned, yet hasn’t appeared, she must have encountered some problem.

There’s a situation on her end, and someone is checking the passenger list too; it’s very likely they’re targeting her.

What he needed to do now was clean up for her.

“I’ll handle it, you take care of Uncle Six here first.”

After speaking, Meng Xinian didn’t hesitate further, striding out to deal with the situation.

Cheng Cheng entered the ward, and Ah Liu happened to wake up.

Upon seeing him, Ah Liu struggled to sit up.

Cheng Cheng quickly went over to support him, placing a pillow behind his back.

“Is today the sixth day?”

“Yes, godfather, does your head still hurt now?”

“It’s manageable, not very painful.” Ah Liu’s face was very pale, and he looked listless. These past two days, he had been in a long period of unconsciousness, and would occasionally be awoken by headaches even while asleep.

“Do you want some water?” Cheng Cheng went over and poured a cup of water, handing it to him.

Ah Liu took it, asking, “Has Little come back?”

“She should have returned, found her flight information, but she hasn’t come home yet.”

Cheng Cheng didn’t intend to hide it from him.

In his view, with Chiang Xiao’s abilities and intelligence, nothing should go wrong, at most just held up for a while.

Ah Liu couldn’t help but feel a bit worried upon hearing this, “Is something wrong?”

“No problem, no problem, she’ll probably be back soon, Xinian is at the airport now, and should be bringing her back soon.”

“Hmm, what time is it now? Can they still get married?”

“They should be able to; it’s only noon, and they can do it in the afternoon.”

Speaking of this, Cheng Cheng looked at Ah Liu’s face but couldn’t help feeling heavy-hearted. “Godfather, Doctor Chen said it’s best to have the surgery as soon as possible.”

“When?”

“Within three days.”

“That’s not possible.” Ah Liu immediately shook his head, though shaking made his head ache fiercely, with black spots swimming in front of his eyes.

He leaned back but didn’t want Cheng Cheng to notice, adding, “After so many years, a few more days don’t matter. Xinian and Little are getting married today; at least let them enjoy a month of happiness. It’s not right for just after getting married me to be having surgery, forcing them to be stuck in the hospital with me every day.”

“Though that’s true, they have plenty of time in the future…”

“It’s different.” Ah Liu sighed softly, “Think about it, if I go into surgery now, Little will only remember spending this month in the hospital with me when she thinks about her wedding day, where’s the happiness in that?”

He paused, even though he felt he shouldn’t speak so depressingly, he was more relaxed in front of Cheng Cheng, knowing Cheng Cheng wouldn’t speak recklessly, not to mention he needed to gain Cheng Cheng’s support.

Can’t possibly have no one standing with him.

“Besides, if the surgery goes well, Little and Xinian would just be here caregiving, but what if it doesn’t go well?”
