"Xiao Chen, your wife couldn't find you and ran into me, so I brought her to look for you." Dean Zhang patted Jie Jingchen's arm. 'My junior's son is quite an outstanding young man.'
"Where did you take her to find me?" Jie Jingchen asked. 'It wasn't Qin Xiang's room, was it? Brother Xiong is still in there. If Uncle Zhang took Qin Mei there to find me, how is that any different from leading a lamb to the slaughter?'
Dean Zhang didn't answer. Instead, he said to Jie Jingchen, "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave you two. Xiao Chen, take your wife home early. Xiangjiang is a mess right now. Don't wander around outside with her; it's not safe."
Dean Zhang had only taken a single step when Jie Jingchen called out to him. "Uncle Zhang."
"Is there something else?" Dean Zhang stopped and turned to look at Jie Jingchen.
Jie Jingchen didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "My aunt's stomach condition?"
