The doctor's actions were indeed very efficient, and he quickly contacted the hospital leadership, conveying Ye Xiao's wishes to them, and moreover, they also learned that Ye Xiao intended to cover all expenses himself. Given that, why wouldn't the hospital be happy to help? So, the matter went very smoothly.

"Everything is ready; the elderly lady can be transferred to the State Hospital at any time. Moreover, our hospital director and an internal medicine chief physician at the State Hospital are quite familiar with each other, so when you go, as long as you can supply the funds, you can expect some special treatment." The same doctor came in and immediately said to Ye Xiao with a smile.

Ye Xiao was very satisfied upon hearing what the doctor had said.

"Thank you."

Just at that moment, Ye Xiao's cellphone suddenly rang; his phone did not show caller ID, so he had no idea who was calling.

He answered the call.

Jiang Miaoke's voice immediately came through.

"Ye Xiao, where have you gone? Didn't we agree you'd wait for me at Blue Star Technology? Why did you suddenly take off in Sister Mingyue's car?" Jiang Miaoke's words were tinged with annoyance; evidently, she believed Ye Xiao had intentionally fled to ditch her.

Ye Xiao hurriedly explained with a chuckle, "How could I possibly run away? A friend's mother is sick, and I am right here. Don't worry, I'll be over soon."

"Oh? Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Jiang Miaoke was skeptical, and frankly, it was no wonder she didn't believe him. After all, from her perspective, how could such a coincidence occur?

Ye Xiao said, "It's true. We're just about to transfer her to the State Hospital, but I will come to find you very soon."

"The State Hospital?" Upon hearing that, Jiang Miaoke immediately said with a chuckle, "You know, I have some connections there."

Connections?

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiao's interest was piqued, and without any regard for dignity, he laughed and said, "Coco, I know you've always been a kind-hearted girl, and now that you're my girlfriend, surely you'll help out, right? My friend's mother has a blocked cerebral vessel and needs surgery as soon as possible, or her life could be in danger."

"Don't try to butter me up. Hmmph, do you think I'm not that magnanimous? You could have just told me about it. Here I am, and you dared to make me wait for so long. You should know that, although all this is an act, you must please act it out properly," Jiang Miaoke said with a tone of educating Ye Xiao. "I know Doctor Han Ruoxi from the internal medicine department at the State Hospital. She will definitely be able to help you, and as long as you mention my name, the medical expenses can be put on credit."

"That's for sure, that's for sure." Although Ye Xiao knew a man should have pride, he needed Jiang Miaoke's help now, and Yan Luo's mother couldn't wait another moment. Now that Jiang Miaoke mentioned she had a friend who was an internal medicine doctor and that they could put the medical expenses on credit, it was fantastic news. Therefore, Ye Xiao was not stingy with his praise, "Coco, I know you have many friends. Let's put it on credit for now, and I will deliver the money to the hospital after the surgery. After all, I still need to go with you to... what was it again?"

"Hmph, take down a phone number," Jiang Miaoke said, ready to help. Honestly, it wasn't really about Ye Xiao's connection, but she heard that the patient could be in life-threatening danger at any moment.

"Of course." Ye Xiao knew Jiang Miaoke must be giving him Han Ruoxi's number.

Sure enough, Jiang Miaoke gave Ye Xiao Han Ruoxi's number and told him he must show up in front of her within fifteen minutes, or she might change her mind at any time.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao realized that both Yan Luo and the doctor were staring at him, their eyes wide as if, in their view, Ye Xiao shouldn't be like this.

"What's with the stares? Do I have something on my face?" Ye Xiao asked suspiciously. He then turned to the doctor and asked, "Speaking of which, do you know Han Ruoxi?"

"Are you talking about Han Ruoxi from the State Hospital?" The doctor asked in surprise when he heard Ye Xiao's question.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "You got it, that's her."

Hearing Ye Xiao's confirmation, the doctor's face was once again filled with astonishment as he said, "That girl is truly remarkable. Not yet twenty-four years old, but she already has very strong capabilities in internal medicine. At such a young age, she is already a chief physician. You know, a chief physician is a completely different entity from an ordinary doctor. Han Ruoxi can be called a medical prodigy."

"Oh, I see. Let's get ready to leave and go find Han Ruoxi," Ye Xiao said.

The doctor was even more surprised at Ye Xiao's words. He now found Ye Xiao to be an even more enigmatic figure.

State Hospital was unlike any ordinary hospital. Being a doctor there was proof of one's medical capability, and to be one of the attending physicians signaled even higher medical expertise. Such individuals were truly remarkable. Yet, it seemed Ye Xiao knew someone there as well.

Ye Xiao asked Yan Luo to assist the doctors and told him that he had something urgent to take care of and had to leave immediately.

After leaving the hospital, Ye Xiao immediately phoned the doctor named Han Ruoxi.

Shortly, the call connected, and a sweet, intoxicating voice emerged from the earpiece.

"Who is this?"

Ye Xiao promptly responded with a smile, "Hello, may I speak with Doctor Han Ruoxi?"

Han Ruoxi, hearing the man's voice on the line, who seemed to be young, was certain she had never heard it before.

"Hello, this is Han Ruoxi. Who am I speaking with?" Han Ruoxi asked.

Upon confirmation of her identity, Ye Xiao immediately said, "I'm a friend of Jiang Miaoke. She asked me to call you. She mentioned you might be able to help me with a favor."

When Han Ruoxi heard that he was a friend of Jiang Miaoke, her voice softened further, and with a smile, she said, "A friend of Coco's, huh? Alright, tell me, what's the matter?"

Hearing Han Ruoxi's words, Ye Xiao determined that she must be a very good friend of Jiang Miaoke. Otherwise, just by mentioning Jiang Miaoke's name, she had readily agreed to help.

"The situation is this: a friend's mother has a blockage in her brain vessel and might need surgery as soon as possible. She's being transferred to State Hospital right now. I was hoping you could assist. Also, the medical fees will have to be owed for now; I'll have it delivered by noon tomorrow," Ye Xiao explained to Han Ruoxi.

Han Ruoxi frowned upon hearing Ye Xiao's request. Many people asked her for favors, but this was the first time someone had asked for a favor and mentioned owing medical fees. Initially, Han Ruoxi wanted to refuse, but then she thought about it being Jiang Miaoke's friend and said to Ye Xiao, "Alright, have them come over. By the way, what's your name?"

"Ye Xiao, 'ye' as in leaf and 'xiao' as in the whistling wind," Ye Xiao said. "The person coming later is my friend, Yan Luo, who's being transferred from the Hand and Foot Surgery Hospital in the southwest part of Jinling District."

"Okay, I understand. I'm a bit busy right now, so let's leave it at that," Han Ruoxi said tactfully.

"Alright, thank you very much, Doctor Han," said Ye Xiao.

"Don't mention it."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xiao didn't hesitate to jump into the Ferrari, and moments later, the wheels nearly spun in place before the car sped away. The security guard at the entrance turned pale with fright at the sight, thinking the car was about to explode.

Ye Xiao was truly in a rush now because Jiang Miaoke had made it crystal clear over the phone: he had to arrive at Blue Star Technology's entrance within fifteen minutes, or else she might change her mind at any moment. If Jiang Miaoke changed her mind, things would surely escalate.

The Ferrari, already suited for high-speed driving, was now under Ye Xiao's skillful command. The fiery red Ferrari blazed down the road like a red flame, overtaking and leaving behind other vehicles on the highway before they could even get a good look at it.

Jinling District might not have the same hustle and bustle as Central District, but it was still a state capital, so there were quite a few cars on the road. Yet, Ye Xiao managed to appear next to a blue Porsche at Blue Star Technology in fourteen minutes with his extraordinary driving skills. A girl was leaning against the door of the blue Porsche, possibly cold due to the weather, so she was wearing a beige woolen coat and knee-high black boots. What she wore on her thighs, Ye Xiao couldn't see, as the woolen coat covered it at the moment.

"Not bad, you've got the timing just right," Jiang Miaoke said, shifting her gaze from her phone to Ye Xiao, who had just hopped out of the Ferrari.

Ye Xiao chuckled, "Of course, my driving is top-notch."

"Oh? Really? Can't really tell, though," Jiang Miaoke said with a light laugh.

Approaching Jiang Miaoke, Ye Xiao said, "Thank you, really."

"No need for thanks; you earned it yourself," Jiang Miaoke replied, lifting her phone screen so Ye Xiao could clearly see what was displayed. At the same time, Ye Xiao grinned broadly.

Because what was displayed on Jiang Miaoke's phone screen was a countdown timer, currently at just twelve seconds left.
