Three years later, the fifteen-year-old Hua Xiyu had just received his doctoral degree from Harvard and walked out of the Harvard campus with a beaming smile on his face. At this time, his cell phone rang.

"Dr. Hua, congratulations, congratulations," Cao Zhengyue's sour voice came from the receiver.

"If you have something to say, just say it. If not, don't bother me." Hua Xiyu replied to him bluntly. Is the old man jealous of her success at such a young age?

"Well, well," Cao Zhengyue coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, "The last mission was completed very well, and my superiors commended me..." Cao Zhengyue was interrupted by Hua Xiyu before he finished his words.

"Just transfer the bonus to my account. I'm short of money right now." Then he hung up the phone. He's an old man, who would want to chat with him? Besides, when he calls, it's usually not good news.

Cao Zhengyue looked at the hung up phone and felt helpless. It is not easy to take care of a child, especially a child in his rebellious period.

He had no choice but to fight again, and the real business had not yet been discussed.

"Old man, can you please say everything at once? My boyfriend is waiting for me outside." Hua Xiyu is in a foster family. His parents are at work, and his little sister is in school. Their son is studying in China as an exchange student.

The family is not rich. Labor costs in the United States are too expensive. Most families would never hire labor if they can do it themselves. The swimming pool at home needs to be cleaned and the lawn needs to be mowed, but these are not Hua Xiyu's concerns. She went into her attic on the second floor. The branches of two cherry trees stretched in from the window. The cherries on the trees had begun to turn red. Hua Xiyu picked one and put it in her mouth, "Hmm, it's quite sweet."

There was an operation at Massachusetts General Hospital in the afternoon. She was the surgeon in charge and had to rush to make preoperative preparations. Therefore, she had no time to talk nonsense with Cao Zhengyue.

Cao Zhengyue called again, and this time he spoke before Hua Xiyu could even open his mouth, "Don't hang up, don't hang up, it's me."

The old man sighed helplessly, and Hua Xiyu waited quietly for him to speak.

"It's time for you to return home. There's a big case that requires your help."

"Okay," Hua Xiyu said briefly, put down the phone and started packing.

She had originally planned to return home after the operation as her birthday was coming and she wanted to go back and celebrate it with her parents, brother and grandmother.

She hasn't been back to China for six years. She misses her grandma, her parents, and her younger brother. Well, actually she doesn't miss her younger brother that much. She misses her grandma mostly.

The surgery in the afternoon was a brain tumor resection, which was not particularly difficult for Hua Xiyu, but she was used to treating every patient seriously. After all, people were trusting the doctor with their lives, so she could not be careless.

So, she took advantage of the time she still had and slept for an hour. Her assistant Anna had been waiting quietly in the car diagonally opposite their house. When she saw her come out, Anna drove over to meet her, "Boss, here."

Sitting in the car to rest, I went over in my mind the details that I should pay attention to during the operation, as well as possible situations and how to deal with them. "Anna, I want to go back home."

"Go back to your country, aren't you American?" Anna was so surprised that she almost crashed into the oncoming car. They had worked together for more than three years, but they didn't know that she did not have American citizenship.

Hua Xiyu kept moving her fingers. She called it preoperative warm-up, just like an athlete warming up before going on stage.

"No, I'm an international exchange student," she said, rubbing her fingers.

"Fuck" Anna cursed, "Then I want to go with you."

"Not this time. I'll notify you after I go back and settle down." Hua Xiyu ignored Anna's protest and did not negotiate.

They arrived at Massachusetts General Hospital, and Anna opened the car door for her with a frustrated look on her face. Her hands were too precious, and Anna was reluctant to let her touch anything rough.

"If you don't let me follow you, then who will help you drive the RV you ordered? I received a message yesterday that the car has arrived at customs."

Hua Xiyu smiled and didn't respond to the conversation. The RV was designed by her personally and customized at the factory. It has already been shipped to the country. She wants to use this holiday to take her parents, grandmother and brother out to play.

They mingled among the medical staff, and in the nurses' locker room, they quickly changed her into surgical clothes, put on a mask, and blended in among the doctors.

We gave simple preoperative reassurance to the family members and patients, asking them to relax and that it was a minor operation and to trust the doctor.

The operation was successful, just like every time before, without any mistakes and perfectly. The suturing work was handed over to the assistant. She quickly left the operating room, changed clothes in the bathroom, and then left the hospital.

In the hospital, a large group of doctors were waiting for the surgeon to come out so they could ask about some details of the operation, but no one knew that the doctor had already left.

When Hua Xiyu returned home, his parents had already returned and his little sister was playing with the dog in the yard.

She said goodbye to them, saying that she had completed her studies here and was going back home to take the entrance exam to high school.

They were not surprised. Americans are not used to asking about other people's privacy and just respecting it.

Hua Xiyu began to pack her things and also had to buy gifts for her parents, grandmother, and younger brother. She had almost no friends in China, so she didn't need to prepare many gifts.

During her six years in the United States, the American couple always thought that she was studying elementary and junior high school courses. Most of the time, this kind of exchange was just for learning a language, and her parents didn't care how well she learned the courses.

As soon as Hua Xiyu arrived, she made a deal with the principal. She would take the exams at the end of each semester and guaranteed to get an A, and the principal would not ask about her whereabouts or call her parents.

The principal agreed. As long as you don’t affect others and you can get an A on the exam, the principal also respects your freedom and right to learn more knowledge.

She majored in space physics and minored in medicine at Harvard, but spent most of her time receiving military training arranged by Cao Zhengyue. Her life was very busy and fulfilling.

The fifteen-year-old girl has grown into a tall figure of 173 cm, but her body has not yet fully developed. Without looking at her dress, it is basically difficult to tell whether she is a boy or a girl.

She finally returned home, but she didn't tell her family because she wanted to give them a surprise.

The flight arrived late at night and Cao Zhengyue arranged for someone to pick her up at the airport. The high school entrance examination was in two days. Cao Zhengyue was in charge of the secret procedures, but she could not replace him in public occasions where she needed to show her face. She had to take the exam with her true face. Her real identity was a rich second-generation playboy. Her family was rich, but her grades were poor. She could not get into a good school, so she barely got into a technical secondary school.

"High school entrance examination? You want me, a Harvard PhD, to take the domestic high school entrance examination?" She looked at Cao Zhengyue in disbelief. What a joke.

"This will help hide your identity, and you don't want to bring harm to your family, right?" Cao Zhengyue patiently explained to the girl. Although his explanations were all reasonable, the girl's self-esteem was still a little hurt. Everyone has a rebellious period when they are young, especially when they are in their prime, which is when their vanity is the strongest.

"Okay," she was actually used to hiding her identity. After all, being too dazzling and conspicuous was not a good thing, especially for the job she was doing.

She took the exam smoothly and scored 289 points as required by Cao Zhengyue. She had almost no chance of getting into high school, but she could still get into a technical secondary school.

What happened next was Cao Zhengyue's matter. She packed her things and prepared to return to her hometown in Ningcheng. She missed her grandma so much.

She decided to use this holiday to take her parents, grandmother, brother and their family out for a trip. After so many years away from home, her father's business has been booming. From an inconspicuous small contractor, he has become one of the top bosses in the real estate industry. She has also successfully become a rich second-generation playboy.

Cao Zhengyue had already requested the RV for her, and at this moment she was driving the RV she customized in the United States on the Hengyan Expressway.

The exit ahead was Muduo Town. She suddenly turned the steering wheel and headed straight towards Muduo Town.

Muduo Town has no access to highways or trains and is a small town with poor transportation. When the Hengyan Expressway was being built, the former mayor Song solicited investment from all parties to add an entrance and exit here, so Muduo Town can barely be considered to have a highway.

Then the brand of Muduo Town tourism gradually became popular. Mayor Song used various legends of Muduo Town and asked people to make up some small stories to attract many tourists. It was hot for a while, but after Mayor Song was transferred, the tourism of Muduo Town gradually cooled down due to the safety accident in Xiaojingshan Tourist Area.

Hua Xiyu wanted to go and check it out first. If the town was worth a visit, she would bring her family there, since it would be on the way home anyway.

She checked in at the Lengshui Fish Hotel. The once glorious Lengshui Fish Hotel was now deserted, but the service quality was still as good as before.

She asked the front desk about the ways to play and the precautions at each tourist attraction. It sounded good, but seeing is believing. She strolled alone on the streets of Muduo Town.

The legendary Woman's Well has returned to its original state after being cleaned. The water in the well remains red once a month as before. Legend has it that if a woman drinks the water from this well regularly, she will become young and beautiful, stay youthful and forever beautiful.

Hua Xiyu smiled and made no comment. This kind of nonsense was fine to listen to, but the locals pumped well water into bottles and sold them.

"Little girl, don't disbelieve it. Look at the girls in our Muduo Town, all of them are young and beautiful. Look at me, how old am I this year?" said a stall owner in his early 30s as he started to take out his ID card.

"Take another look at my age written on my ID card." She handed the ID card to Hua Xiyu.

The ID card shows that he was born in 1972, which means he should be 49 years old. Looking at him in person, he does appear to be in his early 30s.

Hua Xiyu smiled and bought a bottle of water, not because she believed what she said, but because she saw how hard she was trying to sell it. Most importantly, she needed a bottle of water right now.

I walked around the street and finished a bottle of water. I found that water from the Women's Well was being sold everywhere on the street. There were also people selling water from Xiaojingshan Tea Creek, but neither was as popular as the water from the Women's Well.

The well water was indeed delicious, sweet and refreshing with a great taste, but she suspected that they had added sugar to it as a gimmick, and she didn't take it seriously.

After a night's rest, we set off for Xiaojing Mountain the next day. According to the navigation, we found the nearest route. The car was very powerful. There were basically no roads on the mountain. Tourism has been less popular in recent years, and the roads of previous years have been basically covered with grass, with only traces of the roads.

The car circled upward along the Tea Creek. The source of the creek was a pond. A man on horseback rushed towards her car. The horse seemed to be out of control and was about to hit her. Hua Xiyu quickly changed direction and slammed on the brakes. The car rushed down the hillside at a strange angle. There was a feeling of weightlessness, and the car turned over several times and then stopped steadily.

Hua Xiyu felt dizzy and her stomach was churning. She jumped out of the car quickly, vomited, and then passed out.
