After receiving Ji Chiqian's call, Lu Ning knew that what Chen Yu said was probably true.

He came to me probably because he had no other choice.

Lu Ning replied, "Yes, I heard about Auntie's situation from Chen Yu. I will go find Lu Xicheng."

"Meet with him before you go to see him."

"it is good."

Lu Ning and Ji Chiqian arranged a time and place.

She looked at Chen Yu and said, "I'm not really sure if Lu Xicheng can cure Aunt Ji."

"Give it a try, there's no other way right now."

Chen Guoguo, who was standing next to her, said, "I think the Mo family is still very suspicious. Don't forget that Mrs. Mo and Mrs. Ji were a successful kidney match."

Lu Ning nodded: "You're right."

Whether this was an accident or deliberately arranged by the Mo family is hard to say.

The Mo family is now beyond saving. Who knows what a desperate woman might do?

Lu Ning went directly to the hospital at the agreed time.

She also bought a bouquet of flowers and went over.

There were guards outside Madam Ji's ward, and ordinary people could not get close.

Lu Ning was also stopped, but luckily Ji Mo saw her and let her in.

Lu Ning noticed that Ji Mo had become quite dejected, so she asked, "How is Auntie?"

"She's asleep, but she hasn't been sleeping well these past two days. She's feeling very unwell, but she hasn't said anything so as not to worry us."

Ji Mo's eyes were covered in dark circles, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well due to staying up late.

With surgery imminent, such an unexpected situation is distressing for anyone.

Ji Mo said, "My mother would be very happy if she knew you were here to see her. She has been feeling guilty and remorseful about what happened in the past."

"All of that is in the past. The real culprit will soon pay the price."

Ji Mo looked at Lu Ning and said, "I'm sorry."

Why are you apologizing to me? It has nothing to do with you.

Ji Mo hung his head: "But you haven't had a good time in the Lu family all these years."

That's why his mother felt even more guilty.

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'm not doing well, and there are reasons for that myself."

I desperately wanted their approval, so I gave them everything I had.

Ji Mo thought for a moment and then said, "My mother has made it clear that she will not accept that bad woman from the Mo family as a kidney donor."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Ning patted Ji Mo on the shoulder: "Your mother may not need surgery; there are other treatment options."

That depends on what explanation Lu Xicheng can give.

Ji Mo's face lit up with surprise: "Really?"

"Yes, we need to talk again after Ji Chiqian returns."

After all, neither she nor Ji Chiqian really trusted Lu Xicheng.

She always felt that Lu Xicheng was a bit strange, in any case, he was different from the Lu Xicheng she remembered from her previous life.

Lu Ning stayed with Madam Ji, who had just woken up, for a while until Ji Chiqian returned.

She looked up and saw the man in a suit walk into the ward. His features were expressionless, and he seemed distant and aloof.

Ji Chiqian's expression softened considerably after his gaze fell on Lu Ning.

Mrs. Ji smiled and said, "You're off work? Perfect timing, you can take Lu Ning out for dinner. Don't worry about me, Ji Mo is here to keep me company."

Ji Mo wanted to go with them, but considering that his mother was alone, he had no choice but to agree.

Lu Ning left the ward with Ji Chiqian. She glanced at the man beside her and asked, "Very busy?"

"A bit. Generally, when you encounter problems, there will be more and more things to deal with, making it impossible for you to be in two places at once."

The man's voice sounded somewhat tired.

He looked at Lu Ning: "What do you want to eat?"

"Either is fine, but Liyuan is closer."

Lu Ning could tell that he was also very tired, and there were bluish circles under his eyes.

Ji Chiqian didn't say anything. The two of them took a car to the pear garden. This time, he didn't drive; his driver took the car.

When the two arrived at the private room, they found that there were already other people there.

Su Jingbai and Gu Zifeng.

Su Jingbai looked at Lu Ning: "Next time we meet for a meal, let me find the place. What good food is there in Liyuan?"

Lu Ning said, "This place is the closest, but we have something to talk about. Let's eat somewhere else next time."

Su Jingbai didn't continue the topic; he just wanted to make his presence felt.

Gu Zifeng spoke directly: "I've been investigating Lu Xicheng recently, but he has indeed stayed on the island all these years and hasn't left. We haven't been able to find anything about what's going on on the island yet."

Lu Ning paused for a moment: "It is indeed difficult to investigate."

"Who said that?"

Su Jingbai spoke arrogantly, glancing at everyone: "Although I'm just a small-time lawyer, I still have some connections."

Lu Ning was somewhat surprised: "Then hurry up and tell me, stop keeping me in suspense."

"It's a coincidence that I was able to find it. I have a friend who has handled arbitration cases involving employees from the island."

Lu Ning was even more surprised: "Are the employees dissatisfied with their compensation?"

"Yes, they said they laid off employees without cause and didn't give the compensation they were entitled to. But when my friend was about to talk to the HR department on the island, they readily gave him compensation, and the case didn't drag on for too long."

Su Jingbai changed the subject: "But, I found that person's contact information and asked him some questions about the island. That person is just a regular newcomer, a research assistant doing odd jobs, and doesn't know much about the classified research."

But that person didn't know much about Lu Xicheng, only saying that after Lu Xicheng became the person in charge, he changed some of the unfair treatment and suppression on the island. He's very popular on the island.

After hearing this, Lu Ning felt even more uneasy.

These things didn't happen in his previous life, and Lu Xicheng didn't become the head of the island's research team.

Ji Chiqian looked at Su Jingbai: "So, was the unfair treatment this person faced in the workplace before Lu Xicheng became the person in charge?"

"correct."

Ji Chiqian looked at Gu Zifeng: "You can check who worked on the island before."

Lu Ning smiled and said, "I didn't expect the breakthrough would be with the working class."

No matter who is laid off without cause, they will think of using legal means to protect themselves.

Su Jingbai continued, "Are you really planning to have Lu Xicheng do the treatment? It just doesn't seem like a good idea."

Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "We can let Lu Xicheng give it a try, and at the same time look for a kidney donor, so we can prepare for both possibilities."

Gu Zifeng answered a phone call and said with a complicated expression, "We've found out who was behind the kidney problem. It was someone Mo Shiyi arranged."

Ji Chiqian's expression was not good: "How did she know?"

"He probably found out secretly from Old Wang."

Lu Ning frowned and looked at Ji Chiqian: "Hasn't Mo Shiyi contacted you?"

Before Ji Chiqian could speak, his phone rang, and the contact name was Mo Shiyi.

Su Jingbai said, "Speak of the devil and he appears. This debt of gratitude must be repaid eventually."

Ji Chiqian frowned and explained, "There has never been any emotional debt between Mo Shiyi and me."

"Then go ahead and accept the offer, and see what conditions she proposes."

Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian and nodded slightly.

Ji Chiqian reluctantly answered the phone, but with the speakerphone on, everyone could hear what Mo Shiyi said.

A woman's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with a hint of resentment.

She said, "Ah Qian, I've heard about your mother's situation. I can persuade my mother to donate a kidney."
