Chapter 414: Getting Drunk After Losing Love

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After eating and drinking their fill, they each went their separate ways. Ji Chi sat in the car, watching the fading figure of Jiang Junlin. His gaze was filled with both longing and pain. The cold pretense at the dining table could no longer hold.

He could never be indifferent to Jiang Junlin.

Did they really part ways like this?

Ji Chi asked himself, “Are you willing? But even if you’re not, what else can you do? In his heart, responsibility, duty, family ties, and the nation all weigh more heavily than you. In his eyes, you’re nothing more than a speck of dust.”

He could only accept this outcome with a calm heart.

Can he imprison himself again?

Ji Chi drank until he was heavily intoxicated. The rooftop of the Global Center was a great place to stargaze. The moon was just right, with a sky full of stars. Winter had given way to spring, the sudden change from cold to warmth. At Ji Chi’s feet, there were already two empty wine bottles.

Downstairs, Lu Zhiyuan was dealing with his work and examining the information extracted from the canvas. He was still waiting for the intelligence agents to find information about Tang Mingzhou. Rong Li came in and said, “Third Master, you should go and talk to Ji Chi.”

“What’s wrong with him?”

“He’s getting drunk on the rooftop. It’s really pathetic.”

“Call the gastroenterology department at the central hospital and get them ready. Let him drink.”

“…” Rong Li had hoped that the Third Master would provide some comforting words to Ji Chi, but he was surprised by Lu Zhiyuan’s rather hardcore approach. “Just leaving him alone?”

“Send someone to keep an eye on him, so he doesn’t accidentally fall off the building when he’s drunk,” Lu Zhiyuan said nonchalantly. “It’s a good opportunity to finally get the surgery he’s been delaying for half a year.” Rong Li raised his thumb, “Impressive!”

Ji Chi already had some stomach issues, and he had been postponing surgery for months. Now, he was drinking excessively. Rong Li was furious, so he decided to go upstairs and keep him company while drinking. Nick and the others would keep an eye on Ji Chi, as Lu Zhiyuan didn’t want him to accidentally fall off the building while drunk.

“You’re so pathetic. You break up and start drinking. Are you still in high school?” Rong Li kicked him, and Ji Chi leaned against the wall, legs stretched out, looking disheveled and decadent.

Rong Li’s anger flared up, and he pointed at the sky, “Brother, look… the moon is so beautiful.”

Rong Li looked up, but there was no moon, just a sky full of stars. Ji Chi had probably hallucinated due to his excessive drinking. Besides, Rong Li couldn’t imagine Ji Chi, a gloomy disease-ridden wolf, appreciating starry nights.

Ji Chi had drunk too much and coughed up red wine. Rong Li couldn’t bear it any longer and struck him on the back of his neck. Ji Chi passed out immediately. Nick watched nervously; even with ten times his courage, he wouldn’t dare to knock out his master like this.

Rong Li impatiently kicked aside a wine bottle and picked up Ji Chi, instructing Nick, “Go to the hospital and get his surgery done!”

“Yes!”

Meanwhile, Jiang Junlin developed a fever in the middle of the night, and his stomach was very uncomfortable. When he went to the study to find some medicine, Lin Chunli was awakened. Seeing his unusually pale face, she was startled. “Junlin, what’s wrong?”

“My stomach is hurting…” Jiang Junlin endured a sharp pain in his stomach and gave up on taking stomach medicine. “Mom, have Zhang Qiang call an ambulance.”

As soon as he said that, Jiang Junlin fainted and fell to the floor.

“Junlin!” Lin Chunli exclaimed, too worried to help him up. She hurried downstairs to ask Zhang Qiang to contact the hospital. By the time she came back up, Jiang Minghua was already there, supporting Jiang Junlin. Zhang Qiang had contacted the hospital and came upstairs to assist.

Jiang Junlin was wearing only a black robe, and after fainting, the collar had loosened, revealing a multitude of kisses and scratches. Jiang Minghua and Lin Chunli exchanged puzzled looks. When did their son get a girlfriend?

They wanted to ask Zhang Qiang, but their concern for Jiang Junlin took precedence.

Zhang Qiang also noticed these ambiguous marks. He covered Jiang Junlin with a thick coat and carried him downstairs. Gu Ci, who was in the midst of preparing a medical research paper and hadn’t gone to sleep yet, was shocked when she received the news. She and Qin Wan hastily packed up and rushed to the hospital.

Jiang Junlin had a polyp in his stomach, and in addition to that, it had been chronically inflamed for years, so he had been on medication to suppress it.

An ambulance brought them to the Central Hospital.

Jiang Junlin’s attending physician, Xia Ming, happened to be performing surgery on an important figure at the Central Hospital tonight. The surgery was already halfway done when his assistant informed him. Xia Ming quickly called in doctors from the hospital and handed over the surgery to them.

One of the doctors said with a worried tone, “Dr. Xia, this surgery was personally requested by the elderly gentleman. If there are any mistakes, we won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Xia Ming had come to the Central Hospital precisely because it was requested by name.

He said, “The riskiest part of the surgery has already passed, and the second half should be manageable for you. He’s under general anesthesia, so he won’t know who is performing the surgery. Continue, have confidence in yourselves!”

No matter how important the person on the operating table was, not a single hair of theirs was as important as Jiang Junlin.

After leaving the operating room, Xia Ming arranged for a team change, including instruments and medications, and instructed them, “From the smallest thread to the largest bottle of medicine, make sure to double-check everything. The items must match the specifications exactly, and there must be no room for error.”

“Understood!”

Regarding Jiang Junlin’s unconscious state, Zhang Qiang informed Gu Ci and maintained strict information control. When they arrived at the hospital, they continued to keep everything confidential. Jiang Junlin was immediately taken to the operating room where Xia Ming and his team conducted examinations.

Xia Ming had previously performed Jiang Junlin’s physical exams and gastrointestinal endoscopy, so he was well aware of the medical history. He had a good idea of the issue, which saved a lot of time on diagnostics. Gu Ci and Qin Wan came to the hospital and also brought Dr. North along, just to be safe.

Dr. North donned sterile attire and was ready to assist Xia Ming in the operating room.

Zhang Qiang and his team maintained security. The doctors, nurses, and assistants were all from Xia Ming’s team. Medications were double-checked at every step. Qin Wan, feeling anxious and nervous, asked, “Could it be that they poisoned him after the negotiations this afternoon?”

Gu Ci replied with uncertainty, “I’m not sure.”

Zhang Qiang didn’t want to cause unnecessary panic, so he instructed Jiang Minghua and Lin Chunli to wait at home for updates. Gu Ci provided them with updates on the situation and tried to reassure them. Dr. North gave her a report midway through the surgery.

Gu Ci called Jiang Minghua, “Uncle, please don’t worry. It’s a polyp in his stomach that caused this. He needs to have it removed. It’s a minor surgery, so don’t be too concerned.”

“Is it a minor surgery? Why did he faint?” Lin Chunli’s voice trembled with worry. She had never seen Jiang Junlin faint before, not even once.

Gu Ci explained, “Jiang Junlin has been overworking himself lately and not getting enough rest, which has led to various symptoms. The surgery should only take about two hours, so please don’t worry. He’ll wake up fine after a good rest.”

After emphasizing this several times, Jiang Minghua and Lin Chunli finally felt relieved.

Qin Wan couldn’t understand the medical images and reports, so she asked, “Is it just a polyp?”

Gu Ci shook her head. It was a series of reactions caused by the polyp. Jiang Junlin’s stomach had been suffering from chronic congestion for a long time, and the gastric environment was particularly poor. The risk of cancer had doubled compared to a year ago.

“Is it very serious?” Zhang Qiang asked anxiously.

Gu Ci glanced at the operating room and said, “Let’s wait until the surgery is over.”

The surgery itself went smoothly, but the subsequent recovery and rehabilitation would be a long process. Jiang Junlin had chronic gastritis and would require careful care. Gu Ci had reviewed Jiang Junlin’s medical history, and his stomach problems had started six years ago..
