Zhu Yanyi nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry. Doumiao can leave the hospital in a week. I kept her here to watch her cheek wound heal. I think it will be fine in a week. No more inflammation. Then she can go home to rest."
"Here, what else could I worry about?" Xie Xinlian patted Zhu Yanyi’s hand. Her daughter was so capable. She didn’t need to worry about anything else.
"Doumiao Brother, we are here." Xie Yijun, Ouyang Manqing, and Xie Jingyun walked in. Xie Jingyun spoke.
"You child, why did you get hurt going to a competition?" Ouyang Manqing looked helpless. "This is your zodiac year. Did you clash with it?"
Xie Xinlian suddenly understood. "I forgot that. I must burn incense for the Bodhisattva and get a safety rope. Don’t let you get hurt again."
Zhu Zhibin was thirteen by lunar age, but twelve in real age. It was his zodiac year.
People usually pray for a smooth year in their zodiac year. They worry about bad things happening.
Zhu Zhibin laughed. "It’s not that mysterious. I just met a crazy person. It’s fine. Mom, my two brothers-in-law went to seek justice."
"Justice is needed, but you must be careful too," Ouyang Manqing said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi turned to Xie Jingyun. "Jingyun, let me check your pulse. How is your recovery?"
"Yes." Xie Jingyun extended her hand. "Actually, Sister Ani, I am already better."
"Yes, you are better." Zhu Yanyi rubbed Xie Jingyun’s head. "But don’t tire yourself out. Your energy was almost empty before."
Then she said to Xie Yijun and Ouyang Manqing, "Jingyun is fine. But give her fish soup. She can eat bird’s nest once a week. Nothing else is needed."
"By the way, a friend gave me a ginseng root. Can she eat it?" Xie Yijun asked. Xie Jingyun was not an adult, so she wanted to ask Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Children should not eat ginseng. Ginseng is like a villain in medicine. Adults must suppress villains. So, children should not take ginseng before adulthood."
"Okay, I understand." Xie Yijun nodded. They remembered Zhu Yanyi’s words.
"I wanted to treat you to a meal. But we must wait until Doumiao recovers," Ouyang Manqing said.
Xie Xinlian smiled. "We are family. No need for politeness." Then she asked, "Have you solved your housing?"
Xie Yijun lived alone before, so he didn’t need a big house. Now, with a family, he needed one.
Ouyang Manqing nodded. "We bought a house. We will renovate it soon and move in. We are renting now. It is a three-bedroom apartment. It is fine."
"That is good." Xie Xinlian felt relieved.
Soon, Zhu Shunyao came over and talked with Xie Yijun.
Xie Yijun’s family stayed for about half an hour, then left.
Zhu Zhibin’s injury caused a diplomatic war between China and the US.
China’s demand was simple: hand over the attacker. But the US refused.
The US believed they had their own laws. They could not hand over the person. They thought if they softened slightly, everyone would forget.
But they never expected China to be so tough.
China did not agree or disagree. Instead, China started investigating all foreigners in China. If anyone broke the rules, they were sent home. If anyone had bullied China before, even for small things, China would punish them according to Chinese law.
The US never thought China would be so hard. China’s attitude was not directly targeting them, but it made them lose more than they gained.
Who hasn’t done wrong things? China knew everything about these people’s ancestors.
With this move, the US knew it was not the Chinese government. It was someone else.
The US President looked at the investigator. "Who is responsible for reviewing international personnel in China?"
"Yan Aohan, the Yanluo of Beijing," the investigator answered seriously.
"Why did you offend Yan Aohan? He is a top gangster in China. He acts on his mood." The US President felt crazy. The Yanluo of Beijing was a nightmare. He acted on his likes. He was the Yanluo of the world. It was terrifying. He never forgot the scene where Yan Aohan sent hundreds of living people into a fire.
"Why is Yan Aohan targeting us?" The President took a deep breath.
"According to our investigation, Zhu Zhibin, the Chinese math contestant injured in our country, seems to have a connection with Yan Aohan. We don’t know what connection yet," the investigator said. In his heart, he thought, if this is true, you caused it yourself. China wanted the attacker, you didn’t give him. No wonder China is angry.
"Hurry and investigate." The President was angry that the important thing was not found.
Leaders of other countries called the US President, urging him to hand over the criminal to China.
For the US President, he was in a difficult position. If he handed over the person, the US would lose face. If he didn’t, it might cause international instability.
At the same time, Taishu Yuanxiang had sent people to the US. If they didn’t hand over the person, they would kidnap him.
Both open and secret actions were happening. No one knew the result.
Zhu Yanyi calmly continued treating General Roth. General Roth also heard the news. She looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Is China planning to investigate me too?"
"Are you afraid, General?" Zhu Yanyi glanced at General Roth.
