At this time, Tan Jing spoke up, "If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first and leave the scene to you guys."

"Haha, sure, leave it to me. You guys go on ahead."

The officer agreed readily.

"Alright, alright."

Tan Jing nodded and then left the scene with Chen Yang driving.

Afterwards, nothing much happened. Chen Yang drove the van and directly took Tan Jing back to her home.

After dropping off Tan Jing, Chen Yang originally planned to head straight back to Liuhong Village.

But halfway through, he remembered that Xiao Cui should be at Li Lao's herbal medicine shop, having been studying there for a while.

So he turned the car around and went to Li Lao's herbal medicine shop to check on how Xiao Cui was doing.

These days, although Chen Yang rarely went to see Xiao Cui,

he kept a close eye on her situation.

Almost every few days, he would message Li Lao to ask about Xiao Cui's situation.

Xiao Cui, this girl, was very diligent and eager to learn.

Although her foundation wasn't great, she was well-liked by Li Lao.

Every time Chen Yang asked about Xiao Cui, Li Lao always praised her.

Driving the car, Chen Yang went to Li Lao's herbal medicine shop.

When he arrived at the door, the shop was just about to close.

Xiao Cui was very hard-working, arriving every morning at nine, but returning home only around ten at night.

He knew this timing naturally from Li Lao.

Seeing the herbal shop about to close, Chen Yang knew Xiao Cui would come out soon, so he didn't get out of the car to look for her.

Instead, he chose to sit in the car and wait for Xiao Cui to come out.

Chen Yang parked his car in front of the herbal shop, looking at the store.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, Xiao Cui indeed came out from the herbal shop.

Upon stepping out of the herbal shop, Xiao Cui immediately noticed the van parked at the entrance.

She looked at it several times, seeming to recognize that it was Chen Yang's car but wasn't quite sure.

Cautiously, she walked over, took a glance inside, and upon seeing Chen Yang smiling at her, she became delighted at once.

"Chen Yang bro! It's really you!"

Xiao Cui's face was full of surprise and joy. "Chen Yang bro, why are you here? Did you come to see Li Lao for something?"

Chen Yang shook his head with a smile, "I didn't come to see Li Lao, I specifically came to pick you up from work. Get in the car first, and we'll talk."

Hearing this, Xiao Cui was even more pleased.

Without saying much else, she quickly got into the car.

"Chen Yang bro, why did you come to pick me up from work today? Is there something you want to tell me?" Xiao Cui asked, both happy and a bit nervous.

When Xiao Cui got in, Chen Yang started the car and answered with a smile.

"I happened to be running some errands in the county today and suddenly thought of coming to see you, so here I am," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"I see." Xiao Cui was still very happy with Chen Yang's response.

"So, how's it going with learning from Li Lao? Do you feel capable enough to open a clinic now?" Chen Yang replied, then naturally started chatting with Xiao Cui.

The conversation mainly revolved around medicine.

Since the main purpose of this trip was to see how Xiao Cui was progressing in her studies, in case there were no issues,

they could start planning to open a small clinic for Xiao Cui.

"Chen Yang bro, I feel like I've learned a lot of useful knowledge here with Li Lao and have greatly improved compared to before," Xiao Cui answered confidently.

Hearing this, Chen Yang felt truly happy for Xiao Cui.

"It's great that you're learning. Li Lao's medical skills are indeed very high," Chen Yang said.

"Yes, yes," Xiao Cui nodded in agreement, then added, "Precisely because Li Lao's medical skills are high, I don't want to open a clinic yet. After all, opportunities to learn from someone like Li Lao are rare. I want to learn more and only open a clinic when I'm fully prepared."

Xiao Cui really cherished the opportunity to learn from Li Lao, as could be seen from her everyday demeanor and attitude in the shop.

No wonder Li Lao liked Xiao Cui so much.

Such a diligent and hardworking apprentice.

Chen Yang admired her as well.

"You're not wrong there. I originally came to see how you're doing and, if everything was fine, consider opening a clinic sooner. But since you have such plans, I support you," Chen Yang said after a moment of thought.

"Yes, thank you, Chen Yang bro."

Xiao Cui nodded again, expressing her gratitude to Chen Yang.

She was grateful not only for Chen Yang's concern but also for providing her the chance to learn from Li Lao.

These were very precious things.

"Xiao Cui, no need to be polite with me," Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Cui, laughing.

However, at this moment, Xiao Cui turned somewhat serious.

"Chen Yang bro, I'm not just being polite. I truly thank you. It's you who helped me find my life's goal and direction. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be at my dad's shop as a front desk clerk, doing meaningless work," Xiao Cui said earnestly.

Hearing this, Chen Yang fell silent.

He realized that although this girl was shy, she had a wonderful personality.

Many excellent qualities could be seen in her.

Chen Yang found himself appreciating Xiao Cui more and more from the bottom of his heart.

"Chen Yang bro, don't take me home just yet. Let's go by the store first. It's still early, and I want to lend a hand to my dad," Xiao Cui suddenly looked outside the car window and, noticing the road home, said to Chen Yang.

Originally, Chen Yang intended to take Xiao Cui home since she had to be at Li Lao's herbal medicine shop by nine the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui still wanted to help out at the barbecue shop.

"Alright."

Without further ado, Chen Yang agreed directly.

Then, he turned around at an intersection and headed to the night market.

It had been quite a while since Chen Yang last visited this night market street.

The prosperity and bustling atmosphere here were now much better than before.

The number of people coming and going for supper far exceeded that of some big city streets.

Upon arriving, Chen Yang found a parking space, parked temporarily, and went to the store with Xiao Cui.

This street's business was getting better and better, and her dad's shop, known for its reputation and the best flavors on the street, naturally had even more thriving business.

Even though it was just past ten, there were nearly no empty seats in the shop.

The staff was already working to arrange some spots across the street to accommodate more business.

Though eating outside wasn't ideal,

those coming for barbecue didn't mind these things as long as the atmosphere and taste were good.

Who cares if you're eating inside the store?

When Chen Yang and Xiao Cui arrived at the store, her dad was caught up in the bustling business, feeling overwhelmed.

Yet upon seeing Chen Yang, her dad, despite being busy, came over to greet and warmly welcome him.
