After Black Moonlight revealed her true feelings, everyone panicked.

Shen Baolin couldn't help but glance sideways. Really? Is Lu Lingbo really that miserable?

But how could he have a mental illness? I can't tell. He's usually so carefree.

Then I heard a prophecy about myself.

[After being forced into sexual intercourse, he jumped off a building and never woke up.]

Shen Baolin froze, looking up at Lu Sijian in disbelief, but Lu Sijian had already turned her gaze to Lu Lingjun.

[And you, how could the tragic second male lead possibly live to be a hundred? Of course, it's his untimely death that makes him so unforgettable.]

So you got cancer, coughed up blood, and died a tragic death.

Lu Lingjun's brow furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

"Why are you all silent?" Lou Xiao asked from the other end of the video call, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

Lu Sijian couldn't help but sigh. "This man is truly a chosen one, a winner in life, possessing health, wealth, and beauty, destined for a happy and peaceful old age."

Everyone present turned their attention to Lou Xiao in the video.

Is that so? That really makes one envious and jealous.

Lou Xiao felt that everyone was looking at him strangely. He could understand the others, but why was his cousin's gaze so odd?

"I guess everyone wants to live to be a hundred years old," Lu Sijian said with a smile as she walked to the side, holding her phone.

It turned out to be the case.

Lou Xiao stared at the smiling person on the screen, his voice much lower, "Ah Jian, I only hope you can live to be a hundred years old."

[You won't think that way for long.] Lu Sijian silently thought to herself.

The two hadn't video chatted for a long time, and Lou Xiao found that he missed her more than he had imagined, so he couldn't help but want to talk to her more.

Lu Sijian looked at the assistant who appeared behind him and said with a smile, "Brother Xiao, you go ahead and get busy, goodbye."

He abruptly ended the video call.

Lou Xiao: "..."

"The meeting is ready, Mr. Lou," the assistant stepped forward to remind him.

Lou Xiao glanced at his watch; indeed, there were only ten minutes left before the meeting started.

I had just gotten up when my phone rang.

-

When Zhao Ke received Lou Xiao's call, he immediately sat up, shaking off his previous dejection.

His brother Xiao asked him to investigate what Xie Qinglan did at the hospital on the 30th and who she came into contact with...

Holy crap, wasn't that the day the stabbing incident happened?!

He went to pick up Mu Liangyue from the hospital. They had already found a restaurant to have dinner, but he turned back halfway there.

After hanging up the phone, he began to investigate Xie Qinglan's whereabouts that day, but soon found that he could not continue the investigation.

Several people who tried to find information for him were turned down, as they were told that it was impossible to check Xie Qinglan's information.

After much searching, Zhao Ke finally learned that a team of internationally renowned neurosurgeons had come to Anlan Hospital that day, and that the leading neurosurgeon was actually Xie Qinglan's mentor.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that they wouldn't allow any information about Xie Qinglan.

However, he definitely had to take care of Xiao Ge's matter. After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ke suddenly had a breakthrough!

The caregiver that Liang Yue rescued, didn't she know Xie Qinglan? She had been a caregiver at the hospital for over ten years, knew everyone in the hospital, and had a wide network of connections. It should be easy for her to find out any information.

Zhao Ke hurriedly asked Mu Liangyue for her phone number and made the call.

After making that phone call, he felt a sudden sense of clarity.

"Okay, Uncle Chen, thank you! Take good care of yourself in the hospital, I'll come visit you in a few days."

After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed Lou Xiao's number.

-

"Brother Xiao, let me tell you, the person Xie Qinglan went to the hospital to see that day was Lu Sijian!"

Zhao Ke was extremely anxious. His brother Xiao had specifically asked him to investigate Xie Qinglan, which must be because he had discovered something.

He was utterly astonished. That woman was so bold; even with Xiao Ge by her side, she dared to flirt with other men.

The key point is that Dr. Xie is one of Lu Sijian's attending physicians. Could it be that the two of them were flirting and hooking up four months ago?

The relationship between doctors and patients does indeed make it easier for ambiguous situations to arise...

"Brother Xiao, she went too far. Xie Qinglan wasn't supposed to go to work that day, but she insisted on taking her to the hospital."

Couldn't they have met somewhere else? They actually went to the hospital!

Lou Xiao's heart sank: "Xie Qinglan was called to the hospital by her?"

I tried every means to arrange shift changes to avoid bloodshed, but she still managed to ruin it so easily.

He raised his hand and pressed his temples. "Did A-Jian have any contact with the suspect that day?"

Zhao Ke was stunned for a moment. This was true. "Brother Xiao, how did you know? Half an hour before the incident, the suspect bumped into Lu Sijian when he was about to leave the hospital."

"Lu Sijian demanded 11 yuan in compensation from the suspect simply because someone bumped into her bag and knocked it to the ground in the rain..."

"Alright, stop talking!" Lou Xiao interrupted him.

Zhao Ke panicked: "Brother Xiao, the stabbing incident is related to Lu Sijian. She escalated the conflict and became the last straw that broke the camel's back..."

"Shut up!"

Zhao Ke was startled. His brother Xiao rarely got this angry. He could feel the other person's anger even through the phone.

"Don't tell anyone about this, do you hear me?" Lou Xiao's voice was so cold it was frightening.

Zhao Ke: "...I heard it."

After hanging up the phone, Lou Xiao sat in his office for about two minutes.

Before leaving Yuncheng, he hoped that Lu Sijian would intervene in the matter, but after she actually intervened, the consequences were more unbearable than he had imagined.

If ignoring this incident is an attempt to avoid being tainted by its consequences, then perhaps it's because they don't want to get involved in the karma.

But she intervened anyway, knowing full well who the suspect was, she provoked him, causing the stabbing to happen sooner than expected.

She saved Xie Qinglan from serious injury and coma, but in return, three other innocent people were sent to the ICU in Xie Qinglan's place.

He didn't suspect anything between Lu Sijian and Xie Qinglan.

All he knew was that the CEO of the partner company, with whom he was about to have a meeting, had revealed to him yesterday that the old CEO of the Li family had an illegitimate son working at Anlan Hospital.

That person was Xie Qinglan.

This matter was kept tightly under wraps. After all, the loving couple, Mr. and Mrs. Li, were a well-known pair in their circle. Now that they were both in their seventies or eighties, the sudden appearance of a bastard son in his thirties was not only a slap in the face to the old lady, but also to their son and daughter.

The other party also instructed him that very few people knew about this, and reminded him not to spread it.

Lou Xiao, however, felt that since Lu Sijian could predict future events, it was not surprising that she knew Xie Qinglan's identity.

What's more, coincidentally, the Lu family encountered a bottleneck in their overseas expansion, while the Li family had connections that could smooth things over.

Back then, Lu Sijian paid close attention to Lu Lingjun's career. Although she didn't like socializing much, she never missed any New Year's parties or banquets.

She would rush up and strike up conversations with many business tycoons that she herself was not even qualified to meet, taking advantage of her youth and ignorance.

They actively helped Lu Lingjun expand his network of contacts.

"Of course I'll help my brother! I'm his major shareholder. If he makes money, I can get a bigger share," the girl once replied with a smile.

So, A-Jian, did you scheme to make Xie Qinglan owe you a life-saving favor in order to help your older brother?
