Upon hearing this, Qi Ning leaned out of the window and looked out, and sure enough, she saw Qi Yang chasing after her with a bag on his back.

"elder brother!"

Qi Yang ran to the bus, glared at Qi Ning, then walked to the door, boarded the bus, and sat down in the seat next to Qi Ning.

Qi Ning stared at him with wide eyes: "Brother, why are you here? The car is about to leave."

Qi Yang raised his hand and tapped Qi Ning on the forehead, saying irritably, "You still have the nerve to ask? You really do things on a whim, leaving without telling your family."

Qi Ning covered her forehead: "I... I left you a letter."

Qi Yang chuckled and took out a wad of cash from his bag, handing it to Qi Ning: "This is from your parents."

"Given to me by my parents?"

Qi Ning's eyes lit up slightly: "Did Mom and Dad agree to let me go to the city?"

"What else can we do but agree? Are we really going to take you back? Mom is still crying at home. It was Dad who made the decision to let you go after I read the letter."

"So that's how it is." Qi Ning smiled, raising the corners of her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Qi Yang took out a bag of dry food from his bag: "This is what your sister-in-law prepared for you. There are pancakes, eggs and biscuits."

He took out a few more candies: "These are for you from Chenchen."

Qi Ning chuckled and said, "Brother, what have you prepared for me? Hurry up and give it to me so I can get off the bus. The bus is about to leave."

Qi Yang put everything on the table back into his bag, leaned back in his seat, and showed no intention of getting off the bus.

"Me? Of course I'll take you there, Grandma. Otherwise, how could Mom and Dad feel at ease? I'll take you there and then come back."

"Huh?" Qi Ning was taken aback. "Isn't that unnecessary? I can manage on my own."

Qi Yang glanced at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't want me to take you home, then come back with me."

Qi Ning sighed helplessly, "Alright then."

Not long after, the long-distance bus they were on started moving.

It's quite a distance from Shangge Village to the city. Qi Ning and the others took the earliest bus and didn't arrive in the city until the afternoon.

The car swayed along the way, but fortunately, neither Qi Ning nor Qi Yang got carsick. They ate almost the entire way into the city. Although the food was supposed to be for Qi Ning, Qi Yang actually ate the most.

After finally arriving in the city and getting off the bus, Qi Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Yang took Qi Ning to a hotel and booked two rooms for the time being.

The next morning, Qi Yang accompanied Qi Ning to look for a job.

This was the first time Qi Ning had been treated like a child like this, and she found it somewhat amusing: "Will you come with me when I look for a job?"

"Why not?"

Qi Yang took it for granted, and didn't forget to make sarcastic remarks: "I want to see if you can find a job. If you can't, just consider it a trip to the city. You might as well come back with me as soon as possible."

Qi Ning's competitive spirit was immediately aroused, and she found a job as a sales clerk in a clothing store that same day.

She was beautiful, had a good image, and was quick-witted. She successfully sold several pieces of clothing and passed the assessment. The boss was very satisfied and negotiated a salary with her, asking her to come to work the next day.

Qi Yang watched from the side the whole time and saw that Qi Ning was not intimidated at all and was very comfortable as soon as she entered the city.

He knew that apart from the time he made a foolish mistake with Gu Lixuan, his younger sister was very shrewd at other times, and he was quite proud of that.

However, Qi Yang did not reveal this thought. On the surface, he did not forget to pour cold water on Qi Ning, hoping that she would go back with him.

After that, Qi Yang watched Qi Ning work for a few more days and saw that her work had become stable and she was doing quite well.

On the way back, Qi Ning said triumphantly, "How about that? Now you can rest assured. I told you I could work and earn money on my own. Once I've earned some money, I can send my salary home. Maybe when I open my own shop in the future, I can even bring you all to the city."

Qi Yang scoffed, "Come on, you're dreaming too much. Sending money home, huh? You'd be lucky if you called home later asking for money and then begged me to come pick you up."

"Hmph, all you do is make sarcastic remarks."

"I'm telling you this upfront, it might be unpleasant."

Although Qi Yang still didn't quite agree with Qi Ning staying in the city to work, he had no reason to object.

"Let's go, we can't keep staying in hotels like this, I'll take you to rent a place."

Considering Qi Ning's safety, Qi Yang specially rented a house for her near the police station and tidied it up for her.

He's been in the city for quite a while now, and there are still things at home that need his attention. He can't stay in the city any longer; he has to prepare to go back.

Although Qi Yang kept making sarcastic remarks, he still left most of his money to Qi Ning before getting into the car and leaving.

He kept nagging, "Be careful, don't be stingy with money. If you run out of money, call home and I'll send you some. If you can't stay here any longer, call home and I'll come pick you up. Also, I'll come see you again in a while."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

Qi Ning stopped arguing with him and agreed to everything.

Soon the car started, and Qi Ning waved to Qi Yang with a smile on her face.

She finally got rid of Qi Yang, and now she could finally go find Lu Yiheng.

After saving someone on the battlefield, Lu Yiheng was sent to the hospital.

Gu Lixuan mistook someone with the same name for someone else and mistakenly thought he was dead, when in fact he was still alive.

However, Lu Yiheng's journey was not so smooth. At that time, hospital wards were in short supply. He was just a nobody from the countryside. Even though he saved people, he was not assigned to a military hospital because he had no power or influence. Instead, he was sent to an ordinary hospital.

Not long after he was admitted to the hospital, he was forgotten, and later he couldn't even afford the medical expenses and was forced to be discharged early.

His injuries hadn't fully healed, he had no money, and no identification, so he kept running into obstacles as he dragged his wounded body along.

That's why he didn't return to Xinghua Village so quickly in the original storyline, but only after He Sisi gave birth to Gu Lixuan's child.

He returned to the city after breaking ties with Gu Lixuan and He Sisi, where he encountered the high-ranking official he had saved before, who was later transferred and promoted.

According to this timeline, Lu Yiheng was still in the hospital at this time.

Without delay, Qi Ning asked the landlady for leave the next day and went to the hospital where Lu Yiheng was staying.

When she found Lu Yiheng according to the system's prompts, he was being reminded by a hospital nurse to pay his medical bills.

When Lu Yiheng saved people on the battlefield, it was a completely subconscious act. He didn't even see who he was saving. Afterwards, he fell into a coma and didn't know who brought him to the hospital.

Faced with the nurse pressing for payment of his medical bills, he looked somewhat embarrassed: "Comrade, I just came back from the battlefield. Someone should have brought me here that day..."

The nurse shook her head: "Comrade, you should know who brought you here. I don't know either. It was too chaotic that day. Your admission procedures weren't completed. Now you don't have enough money for medical expenses. You either have to pay the full amount or you can be discharged early."

Just then, Qi Ning pretended to walk by the door, then stopped and exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Yiheng!"
