"Hmm." Siyi raised an eyebrow, one hand on her hip, the other holding a photo and handing it to him. Since it was about Xia Ran, she couldn't help but be a little gossipy. "But you, I've never heard Ran mention you. Why do you have her photo, hmm?"

Shang Zhancheng chuckled, "Is it strange that I have her photo? She's mine..." He stopped abruptly at the end, wondering how he should put it.

Xia Ran... Xia Ran...

Who does Xia Ran belong to him? She doesn't actually belong to him, but she is the woman he loves.

"Oh well, I don't really have a habit of prying into other people's privacy." Seeing that he didn't continue, Siyi took the initiative to give the photo to Shang Zhancheng and said, "Actually, you don't need to say anything. Although Ran and I are good friends, everyone has their own privacy, right? Thank you for taking me in last night. Now I have to leave. By the way, I won't say goodbye to your brother Shang Yuan. Please tell him thank you for me."

"Leaving now?" Since she was Xia Ran's good friend, Shang Zhancheng became a bit warmer towards her, and even the caution in his eyes disappeared. "How about this, since you are Xia Ran's friend, I'll go all the way and take you wherever you want to go."

"No need." Siyi tightened her grip on her bag. "I can go by myself."

Just as Shang Zhancheng was about to say something, someone came out of the elevator and walked over to him, saying, "Dr. Shang, I have finished organizing the medical records you asked me to organize last time. This is the medical record of the little girl named Ye Mengtian."

Siyi had already reached the elevator and was about to brush past the person carrying the report. Her hand was already pressing the elevator button, but she instinctively stopped in her tracks because of a name uttered by the person behind her—

"What did you say?" She reacted almost instantly, quickly turning back and grabbing the man's wrist. "What did you just say?"

She was in such a hurry that she spoke only Chinese. The man, a native American, naturally couldn't understand her. He looked at her in confusion and asked in English, "What?"

Siyi was sure she hadn't misheard. Realizing she had acted rashly, she quickly changed her mind and asked in English, "I was asking about the name of the person you just mentioned, the one with the medical record in your hand. Whose is it?"

The man understood, but his eyes subconsciously glanced at Shang Zhancheng beside him.

Everyone knows that patients' medical records should not be disclosed casually, but this person is also a smart man. He probably realized that Siyi and Shang Zhancheng should know each other, so when Siyi pressed him for details, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Shang Zhancheng.

Shang Zhancheng took the medical record from him, waved for him to go down first, and only after the man entered the elevator did he look at Siyi, "Excuse me, Ye..."

"Ye Siyi!"

"Oh, Miss Ye Siyi—" He waved the medical record in his hand, then suddenly realized something and stared at Siyi in astonishment. "What did you just say? You said you are... Ye Siyi?"

"Yes, I am Ye Siyi!" Siyi took a deep breath, pointed to the medical record in his hand, and said, "I didn't mishear, did I? Ye Mengtian, please tell me, is it a five-year-old child who was treated here before? Is that right?"

Shang Zhancheng had roughly figured some things out by now.

For example, her name is Ye Siyi. The name sounded vaguely familiar to him. He hadn't paid attention to her self-introduction last night, but now, hearing her say it again, he was certain he had heard it somewhere before. Or, for example, this Ye Mengtian, also surnamed Ye, but isn't she Yan Hui's daughter?

Swallows return...

So, he must have heard the name Ye Siyi from Yan Hui, right?

Ha! It came to me without any effort at all!

Shang Zhancheng immediately broke into a wide smile. "Ye Siyi? Hehe, Ye Siyi... That's right, this is Ye Mengtian's medical record. She is indeed a five-year-old girl who came to me before because of some skin problems, but she should have recovered by now. So, you are hers?"

“She’s my daughter!” Siyi said without hesitation. “Are you sure she’s alright?”

“Of course,” Shang Zhancheng said smugly. “No one will question my medical skills. She has fully recovered. I only asked for her medical records to check on her loss of voice and hearing.”

He paused, then looked at Siyi with a smile, "So, you're Jiang Yanhui's woman?"

When Jiang Yanhui was suddenly mentioned, Siyi blushed slightly, but she didn't deny it.

Shang Zhancheng was overjoyed. He had accidentally lost Ye Mengtian before, which caused him to break his promise to Yan Hui that he would take her to see Xia Ran when he went to City A. Now that he had his woman in his hands, why would he be afraid that she would refuse?

“Miss Ye Siyi, I’m Yan Hui’s good friend. I never imagined the world was so small that we could meet like this. Since we’re friends, how about I help you?” His attitude completely changed, becoming irresistibly enthusiastic. “Yesterday, Yuan told me that many people are chasing you. If you go out like this, you’ll definitely get into trouble. How about this: wherever you want to go, I’ll send someone to take you there. Or whoever you want to see, just tell me. As long as they’re in America, I can definitely find them for you. It’ll be safer for you to meet here. What do you think?”

Siyi waved her hand somewhat stiffly, "Actually, it doesn't need to be so complicated, I..."

"Don't be so serious, it's not troublesome at all." Shang Zhancheng interrupted Siyi, stepped forward with a smile, and pushed Siyi into the room. "Go to your room and rest first. I'll have someone bring you some food. Then tell me who you want to see, and I'll go find them for you."

"Hey, no, I really don't need to do this..."

“Yes, Miss Ye Siyi. Yan Hui is a very good friend of mine, so his woman is also my… uh, no, I misspoke. His woman is my friend, and I must see this through to the end.”

"No, Dr. Shang, actually I..."

"You should go inside and rest first. If you're worried about getting bored, I'll have Yuan come in and talk to you..."

…………

Siyi was speechless!

These two brothers are essentially the same, aren't they? If Shang Yuan is too subjective, then Shang Zhancheng is a bit schizophrenic...

He was so cold to people just a moment ago, but he became so warm and friendly as soon as Xia Ran and Jiang Yanhui were mentioned? She didn't need to bother him like this at all, but Shang Zhancheng just wouldn't let her leave. One moment he pushed her into the room, and the next moment Shang Yuan came chasing after her. She couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

Meanwhile, Shang Zhancheng was overjoyed. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to dial an international number. The phone rang for a long time before being answered. It was around 3 or 4 a.m. in City A. Jiang Yan hadn't slept well for the past few days. She had only managed to fall asleep after taking two sleeping pills last night, but she hadn't been able to fall asleep for long before that damned phone call came to bother her again.

He woke up groggily, too lazy to even glance at the incoming call, and immediately said, "You'd better have some useful information for me, or you'll be in big trouble!"

"S. Hit! Did you eat gunpowder?" Shang Zhancheng felt utterly innocent after being scolded.

"Shang Zhancheng!" Jiang Yanhui gritted her teeth and growled, "You try it, you can't sleep for days and nights, and when you finally fall asleep, some idiot who doesn't know when to stop calling you. You better say something useful, or I guarantee you won't even be able to enter City A in the future."

"Yan Hui, you've gone too far! How could you treat me like this? I didn't even say anything when you broke your promise to me before. You clearly said you'd save your daughter and then asked me to go to City A to see Xia Ran, but you went back on your word..."

"I went back on my word? Damn it, you didn't even take good care of my daughter, and you still accuse me of going back on my word? That's my punishment for you! It's not that I broke the contract!"

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you. You're used to being unreasonable."

"Am I being unreasonable? You called me late at night just to question me about this?"

"Of course not!" Shang Zhancheng was a little unhappy, but when he thought about how his woman was with him now, he felt that he would definitely be able to get whatever he asked for. He raised his eyebrows and snorted, "I just came to ask you something."

"Say it."

"Is Ye Siyi your woman?" Shang Zhancheng knew Jiang Yan Hui's temper, so he didn't mince words and asked directly, "She's not by your side right now, is she? Did she run away from home? Or was she being chased and ran away? Why can't you even take care of your own woman?"

These words were clearly a sarcastic remark tinged with schadenfreude, but Jiang Yan Hui had no time to care about his tone. His drowsy state vanished instantly, and he sat bolt upright in bed, grabbing his phone and asking, "What did you say? Ye Si Yi... Where is Si Si? Damn it, Shang Zhan Cheng, do you know where Si Si is? Tell me quickly, where is she?"

"So nervous? Looks like I was right, your woman ran away, didn't she?" Jiang Yan Hui naturally had no idea that the more nervous he was, the more smug Shang Zhan Cheng became. He and Jiang Yan Hui had known each other for so many years, and he had always been the one to grant his every request. This time, he had finally found his weakness, and he couldn't resist poking at his sore spot a few times first, as a way of making up for the frustration he felt when Jiang Yan Hui stood him up last time. "Heh, that's right, I do know where your woman is, but she's not very safe right now. Do you want to see her? I only have one request: bring Xia Ran over, and we'll exchange her for her!"
