After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Lu Ning couldn't calm down when she thought of that photo.

Qin Xiang's father is still alive!

The car accident back then must have been serious.

Lu Dongyou said suspiciously, "Lu Ning, what do you mean by that? Xiangxiang's father is dead, of course. After he rescued you, he went back to rescue Mom and Dad, but the car exploded and he died along with them."

"Since he died in the explosion, his facial features shouldn't be clearly visible. Are you sure the person who died was Qin Xiang's father?"

"Of course, how could this be false? I saw the car Qin Xiang's father was driving back then, there's no mistake."

Lu Ning frowned. Could there be a mistake?

The middle-aged man she saw in the photo was indeed Qin Xiang's father.

So where exactly did the problem go wrong?

Lu Ning said coldly, "What if Qin Xiang's father isn't dead?"

"That's impossible. Lu Ning, what excuse are you making up now? To avoid owing Xiangxiang a favor, you deliberately said her father is still alive, right?"

Lu Dongyou was very angry.

Lu Ning found it laughable: "Didn't you ever have any doubts?"

"Do you think I haven't investigated the car accident from back then? So far, I've only found something related to the Mo family, and there's not a single other clue. If you're so capable, why don't you go and investigate?"

Lu Ning took a deep breath: "Besides the Mo family, are our family's drivers okay?"

Didn't the eldest brother have any doubts or find anything wrong?

"Lu Ning, Xiangxiang's father is already dead. Why are you still clinging to a dead man? Is that really meaningful?"

Hearing this, Lu Ning realized that the Lu family had never suspected the driver.

She suspected that Qin Xiang's father might have connections with the Mo family.

But she had never heard of any conflict between the Mo family and her parents!

Lu Ning originally planned to mention it to Lu Dongyou as well, but seeing his stubbornness, she decided against it.

To avoid alerting the enemy if she spoke out.

Lu Dongyou was furious: "Lu Ning, I never expected you to be such a cold and heartless person. Your fourth brother was only treated this way because he was provoked. Can't you give him a chance?"

"Only God gives people a chance. I'm only responsible for sending him to meet God. I can't control anything else."

Lu Ning hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

She should investigate herself; Lu Dongyou simply didn't believe her.

Once she catches Qin Xiang's father and finds concrete evidence, she will slap him hard across Lu Dongyou's face.

Lu Ning stood up and turned her head to see the elegant lady from before standing at the top of the stairs, seemingly talking to a nurse.

Mrs. Ji walked to the top of the stairs, intending to go up via the emergency exit.

Madam Ji's personal assistant, now dressed in a nurse's uniform, assessed the situation: "Madam, we've found the girl's room, but the young master has arranged for people to guard all the exits, as well as members of the TG public relations team. It might not be easy for you to get close."

"He even arranged for the TG PR team? Looks like he dotes on that girl. I'm going to see which little vixen is so infatuated with my son today."

Madam Ji was somewhat shocked.

After all, only the young mistress of the Ji family would receive this treatment, with a private team providing services.

Ji Chiqian actually gave that girl this treatment so quickly.

This situation is very bad.

Mrs. Ji glanced at her assistant: "Go and keep asking around for me. I'll figure something out."

After the assistant left, Madam Ji turned back to Lu Ning and asked, "Young lady, what are you looking at?"

"Watching ants move house is a way to pass the time."

Lu Ning looked at the wealthy woman in front of her: "Did you come to the hospital to visit a patient?"

"Yes, I'll go up later. Little girl, how did you get hurt? It doesn't look like a fall, it looks like you were beaten up?"

Madam Ji could tell at a glance that Lu Ning's injuries were definitely the result of being beaten.

Lu Ning's expression was a little unnatural: "It's nothing."

"Young lady, have you been a victim of domestic violence? Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you resolve this matter."

When Mrs. Ji saw Lu Ning's expression, she immediately misunderstood that she had been subjected to domestic violence.

"Young lady, let me tell you, you absolutely cannot spoil a man. If he dares to hit you, you have to fight back, understand?"

Lu Ning was both amused and exasperated: "It wasn't domestic violence, but it was pretty much. It was my brother who did it."

"Your brother is such a scoundrel! If I had a daughter, and my son dared to lay a hand on her, I'd break his legs. How could he lay a hand on his sister?"

Madam Ji was somewhat angry.

She looked at Lu Ning and said, "Who is your brother? I'll hire the most famous lawyer for you and help you win this case. I'll make him pay the price."

"No need, I can handle this. Thank you, beautiful auntie."

Upon hearing the words "pretty auntie," Mrs. Ji proudly touched her face and said, "Have I taken such good care of myself lately? I could be your mother."

You look very young.

Mrs. Ji's mood improved considerably: "Young lady, could you do me a favor? Could you take me upstairs to the VIP ward area and tell me I'm your family member?"

"sure."

Madam Ji was stunned: "Aren't you going to ask me why?"

"Nothing to ask."

Lu Ning stood up: "Let's go, I want to go back to my ward anyway."

Mrs. Ji took Lu Ning's arm and said, "Let's go then."

That way, it shouldn't attract attention, right?

The two took the elevator upstairs together, and the bodyguards standing next to them exchanged a silent glance, pretending not to see anything.

Madam Ji probably came to visit her future daughter-in-law as well.

They stepped out of the elevator together. Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "Finally, she's up. Thank goodness she was so clever."

Lu Ning saw the figure standing in the corridor and smiled as she spoke, "Ji Chiqian."

The man turned around and saw Lu Ning holding hands with his stepmother. His usually icy demeanor cracked.

Is he seeing things?

When Lu Ning saw Ji Chiqian, she found his expression very strange.

what's the situation?

Following Ji Chiqian's gaze, Lu Ning looked at the elegant lady beside her.

Madam Ji's eyes widened, and she looked as if she had seen a ghost. She turned and ran away in fright.

Oh no, we've been found out.

Oh no! Didn't they say Ji Chiqian had an international conference to attend today and couldn't get away for a while?

Mrs. Ji, wearing high heels, ran down the stairs in one breath.

Ji Chiqian walked suspiciously to Lu Ning's side, hesitating to speak: "You guys...are you alright? What did she say?"

"She didn't say anything, she just asked for directions."

Lu Ning sensed that Ji Chiqian seemed very nervous: "What's wrong? Do you know that wealthy lady?"

"Lady?"

Ji Chiqian carefully observed Lu Ning's expression and said with great trepidation, "That's it?"

"Yes, she was just asking for directions. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she's a wealthy lady who takes very good care of herself."

Lu Ning looked up at Ji Chiqian: "You know her?"

Ji Chiqian didn't know how to answer.

At that moment, both of their phones rang simultaneously.

Lu Ning realized that the warning must have been triggered by the app monitoring Qin Xiang's phone, indicating that Qin Xiang had contacted her father.
