Black Eagle

In the car, Song Lian and Du Jiang sat in the front seats, while Tang Fu, Chen Lan, and others sat in the back.

"Ergou owes quite a lot of money, doesn't he?" Chen Lan looked at Xu Cui and suddenly spoke, referring to their son, Ergou.

Xu Cui raised her head in surprise as she looked up at Chen Lan, trembling as she spoke, "How, how did you know?"

Chen Lan smiled faintly, these were things she had learned while reading the novel.

In the novel, this couple also came because of their son, but the original character didn't care about this matter at all. It was Tang Ye who handled it on his own.

Later, Tang Ye also found out that the reason they came was because their son, Ergou, lost money in gambling, and was caught. They threatened if the money was not repaid they would chop off his hand.

"You don't have to know how I found out. You better behave and listen carefully. After the check-up, you should disappear immediately. Otherwise, I will get someone to break your son's legs. Maybe, if I'm not in a good mood, I might just throw him into the river and drown him."

Chen Lan's expression remained calm, but her words sent shivers down their spines.

Xu Cui was already shivering and about to agree when she was stopped by Tang Fu, "She's just trying to scare you. She's just a young lady, how would she know those hooligans?"

Chen Lan shrugged at their response and no longer paid attention to them, leaning on Tang Ye's shoulder and drifting into a deep sleep.

At the military hospital, Xu Cui still didn't want to cooperate with the check-up. However, the soldiers who accompanied her were enthusiastic once they learned that she was Battalion Commander Tang's aunt.

They assisted her through various examinations, with one soldier consoling Tang Fu and the other 'helping' Xu Cui complete the check-ups, running around here and there.

"Ahye, wait here for the results. I'll go out and make a call." Chen Lan, seeing that there shouldn't be any major issues, bent down and whispered in his ear.

Seeing Tang Ye nod, Chen Lan left the hospital and went to a shop opposite to make a phone call.

"Hello, who is it?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded impatient. Through the receiver, Chen Lan could hear the sound of mahjong tiles clacking in the background.

"It's me, Uncle," Chen Lan said.

"Aiya, it's our Lil' Lanlan. Why are you calling Uncle today? Did someone bully you? Tell Uncle, and I'll get someone to kill him."

The voice tone on the other end of the line changed instantly, and the clacking of mahjong tiles ceased.

"No one bullied me. I wonder if you know a guy named Black Eagle that runs the casino?" Black Eagle was the nickname given to him by the underworld, and Chen Lan remembered it from her reading of the novel previously.

"I know him quite well. What's wrong? Did he bully you? Hold on, Uncle can call him right away." Chen Lan's uncle was a businessman and had a reputation for being just and fair, so people in both legitimate and underworld circles respected him. When Chen Lan heard he knew Black Eagle, she was relieved.

"No, I've never seen him before. Why would he bully me?" Chen Lan explained about Tang Fu and his wife in detail. "That's why I wanted them to come over and intimidate those two. Otherwise, how am I going to live my life in peace if they keep coming and causing trouble?"

"Alright, I understand. Leave this to Uncle. Bring Tang Ye to our house for dinner when you are free next time."

"Well, then you'll have to make me something delicious."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Lan bought a few bottles of water and returned to the hospital.

By this time, the results were already available. She handed out the water to everyone except Tang Fu and his wife. The couple stared at her with wide eyes, as if trying to bore holes into her with their gaze.

"What's the result?"

In response, Du Jiang burst into laughter. "Your health is excellent! The doctor said it's even better than many young people."

"You don't have any illness in the first place! Why would you curse yourself like that?" In front of everyone, Chen Lan was still considerate and she scolded in a slightly annoyed tone, as if she were scolding her elders.

Xu Cui's face was slightly red, lowered her head and chuckled, "The place I went for the checkup was just a clinic. They must have made a mistake."

"It's good that everything is fine." Chen Lan said with a relieved expression. Then, she turned to Song Lian and Du Jiang, "Big Brothers, you can go back first. It's not easy for them to come to the county city, so I'll bring them around and have a meal together. Tonight, both of you tell Sisters-in-law not to cook and come to my house for dinner."

Song Lian nodded, and then they got into the car and drove back.
