Chapter 1280 - 1280: Old Doctor's Visit

Xiao Chen looked at his sister with a worried expression.

The other party was smiling so sweetly.

He felt that his sister should be growing strong under the sunlight, not having an irresponsible brother like him, so he smiled slightly and said,

"Sister, if I, your brother, might not be able to see you for a few years or even over ten years, will you study well, work well, and live well?"

His sister didn't understand why Xiao Chen's words suddenly took this turn.

She shook her head, with tears streaming out of her eyes, she shouted at her brother,

"No way, brother, you finally promised me that you would grow up with me. You can't just leave me like that, no matter what you have going on now."

"Why don't you directly plead with your boss, wouldn't he meet you? Doesn't he support you very much?"

Xiao Chen also didn't know how to answer his sister, feeling he owed her too much.

Because after their mother passed away, he hadn't taken good care of his sister.

And now, his sister is still in the hospital. Even though he's with her in the staff dormitory, who knows if her illness might relapse?

Just when Xiao Chen was very hesitant, he suddenly heard the sound of an elderly person who once helped him, another researcher, knock on the door and speak in a very kind voice.

"Young man, can I come in and say a few words to you?"

"The boss just relayed another message saying there are things to be done and handled tomorrow."

Upon hearing this voice, Xiao Chen understood it was Lin Feng who had asked about his return.

This meant preparations were made for his punishment tomorrow. He began to anxiously anticipate, glanced at his back, and could only say to the person outside the door.

"Alright, wait a moment, I'll come out now."

His sister held onto him, looking very aggrieved, with tears barely holding back.

Xiao Chen's heart softened, then wiped his sister's tears and said to her:

"Xiao Rou, you must hold on. This time, the mistake is mine, and I must take responsibility and face it, not avoid it."

Seeing his sister trying hard to reach him, Xiao Chen couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry, didn't the old gentleman just say, Lin Feng's punishment for us is tomorrow."

"So regardless of Lin Feng's boss's punishment, we will accept it."

"And you, you're an innocent person. Lin Feng's boss definitely won't do anything to you."

But Xiao Rou cried out loud, saying:

"But... I don't want you to leave me, brother. If you have to go, then take me with you, even if it's to jail, otherwise without you, how do I live?"

Seeing his sister crying so sadly, Xiao Chen embraced her and also started crying, while the elderly tech person waiting outside knocked again.

"Xiao Chen, open the door first, regardless of what's happening, come out first to solve the problem instead of hiding. This time when you came back, the boss expressed happiness, don't you want to hear what your boss has to say?"

"Anyway, there might be a turn of events tomorrow."

After these words, Xiao Chen finally let go of his sister, wiped his tears and said, "Alright, I'm coming."

Xiao Chen got out of bed, opened the door, and saw the kind-faced elderly person walk in, glancing at Xiao Rou on the bed and said.

"Kids, you must be hungry? I just ordered two meals outside. Why don't you come out and eat, we can talk about what the boss said while eating."

Xiao Chen's expression turned somewhat serious, but seeing the elderly person's kind demeanor, he didn't want to reject his goodwill.

"Alright, Old Doctor, let's follow you out for a meal, let's go eat together."

After all, they hadn't eaten anything since returning, only had a sip of water, because what happened earlier was too thrilling.

Both of them just wanted to calm down, and now the other researchers have started working, not everyone could come to see them, so having an elder come to comfort them and tell them what to do is not easy.

After they went out, they saw several people waiting outside with tears of excitement in their eyes, probably very happy for their return.

One person came up, punched him, and said jokingly with a hint of seriousness.

"If it weren't for you, how could we have delayed this many days of progress? What do you say on how to compensate us?"

They didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but scratch his head and said a bit shyly, "If I can stay this time, I'll treat everyone to dinner with the salary, how about that."

Several other researchers happily responded:

"That's what you said, you better not go back on it."

A few people chatted and laughed, then after comforting a bit, let Xiao Chen and his sister stay for dinner, while they went back to work. After sitting down, Xiao Chen opened the meal with two dishes, looking fresh and juicy.

It was indeed quite delicious, so he opened the tableware for Xiao Rou and said to her,

"Eat, let's eat first and then hear what my boss has to say. No matter the results, I can accept it, so Xiao Rou, you must trust your brother, alright?"

Although Xiao Rou was very sad, she still swallowed and looked at the delicious meal.

So she also started eating voraciously, the Old Doctor researcher said to Xiao Chen, "Seeing that your sister is safe, you can relax now."

"Hurry and eat, after eating, I'll tell you how Lin Feng explained things."

After this, Xiao Chen nodded and began eating.

But they didn't notice, in the sight they couldn't see, the elderly person's smile suddenly turned strange.
