Ji Xingmi was completely unaware of what was happening outside. She was busy organizing her own pharmaceutical room. While she was staying at the sanatorium with her grandfather, her parents had not only added another pharmaceutical room for her but had also helped her acquire many tools and medicinal ingredients, making it resemble a small laboratory.
Ji Xingmi took this opportunity to take out a considerable amount of medicinal ingredients from her spatial dimension and also placed many medicinal pills in the display cabinet, making them accessible for others to use if she were absent in the future.
Ever since this idea occurred to her, she had been making medicines in her room for the past few days and had asked her "cheap dad" to find a batch of small medicine bottles. Ji Mingxue was always accommodating to Ji Xingmi's requests. He managed to find many bottles and brought them back within a few days, perfectly filling her needs.
Gu Jingyi had recently heard that she was busy making medicines and did not want to disturb her. Taking advantage of this free time, he decided to deal with Qi Wenjing first.
Just as Ji Xingmi thought the following days would pass in a similar fashion, Elder Ye arrived in a hurry. He not only took Ye Yu with him but also brought Ji Xingmi and Ji Haoqi along. Seeing Elder Ye's urgency, Ji Xingmi didn't ask many questions. After leaving a note at home, she took the small first-aid kit her mother had prepared for her and left with Elder Ye.
While in the car, Elder Ye finally explained the reason to them. The main purpose was to find Ji Xingmi, as someone special needed her to examine their health. This person was important and resided in Zhongnanhai, which was why it wasn't mentioned directly earlier. As for Ye Yu and Ji Haoqi, their inclusion was purely coincidental.
Ye Yu and Ji Haoqi felt indignant, but a stern look from Elder Ye silenced them.
After the car had driven for a while and reached the entrance, they were stopped and required to undergo an inspection. Ji Xingmi's small first-aid kit was also thoroughly searched. Since it contained many medicinal pills made by Ji Xingmi herself, explaining them was quite troublesome. Fortunately, Elder Ye intervened and explained that they were just health-preserving pills for his grandson. The fact that Elder Ye's grandson had poor health was almost common knowledge, so they didn't dwell on the matter and quickly let them pass.
Once back in the car, Ji Xingmi tidied up the contents of the first-aid kit and, in front of Elder Ye, transferred items she thought might be useful into the bag she was carrying. Of course, this was just for show; in reality, she put everything into her spatial dimension.
The car drove directly to the entrance of Elder Ye's small courtyard, and they all alighted and entered. Ye Yu now understood the situation. To cooperate with Grandfather Ye, he appeared particularly weak when he got out of the car. Ji Haoqi also helpfully supported him. The appearance of weakness was Ji Xingmi's doing. On the way while they were being inspected, Ye Yu had asked if he should feign illness. Ji Xingmi had then produced this medicine, and Ye Yu, without hesitation, had taken it. Elder Ye, who had been listening to their discussion the whole time, didn't seem too worried when his grandson took the medicine. Old Master Bi had also taken this medicine before, so there was no serious concern.
After they entered the courtyard, Elder Ye had someone lead them to the prepared rooms. Before long, someone came to find Elder Ye. As it was almost mealtime, Elder Ye decided to take them along to "borrow" a meal. The group was quite pleased and followed Elder Ye behind, chatting and laughing. Ye Yu also followed, with no issues other than his pale complexion.
"Old Ye, where are you taking so many children?"
"Old Hua asked to see me about something, and I don't know when it will be over. It's also mealtime, so I thought I'd take them to his place for a meal."
"Ah~ Old Hua is still the same, isn't he? I heard he wasn't feeling well the past couple of days!"
"Yes~ He's still a bit too worried about things here and doesn't want to go to the hospital!"
"Who isn't!"
"I won't chat with you any longer; I need to go. He'll start nagging again if I'm late!"
"Alright, you go ahead. Come to Grandpa's house to play when you have time!"
They encountered many people on their way. Quite a few people saw Elder Ye's entourage and inquired about it, each asking their own questions. Fortunately, Elder Ye was in a hurry, or Ji Xingmi felt they would have been stared at like monkeys the entire time.
