Noon, the Department of Neurology at the hospital.
The phone vibrated; it was a call from Bai Long. Li Zishen hurried to the balcony to answer it.
"Have you seen my uncle?" Li Zishen asked anxiously.
"No, the neighbors said he only returns once every two or three years, and he doesn’t have a fixed schedule or any contact information."
"Then let it be. Just leave him be."
Because Madam Lai was still in a dazed state, Li Zishen worried about any potential accidents and had sent Bai Long to Blue City to bring over Madam Lai’s brother.
After all, besides the two brothers, the uncle was the closest person to Madam Lai.
However, he still hadn’t seen him.
It wasn’t until Li Zishen was in junior high that he found out he had an uncle who was a medical doctor.
It was mentioned unintentionally by Madam Lai, who said although her brother had graduated from a prestigious institution and excelled both in character and learning, he loved to wander, so he was often not at the old house in Blue City.
As a result, few people in Jin City knew that Madam Lai had a brother named Yuan Feng.
Their age difference was quite significant, about ten years.
"Brother Shen, there’s something else I find peculiar. Su Luoyi is actually Song Dapeng’s daughter, but she took her mother’s last name at birth."
Seeing Li Zishen’s confusion, Bai Long quickly explained, "The man from the Yi Xiaodan case, sentenced to 25 years."
"Oh, that man, his daughter!"
Yi Xiaodan was Li Zhenshan’s first love and also his frequently mentioned deceased wife. Li Zishen naturally knew a bit about the case from that year, but wasn’t very clear on the details.
"Father said that 25 years ago, Song Dapeng was trying to snatch Yi Xiaodan’s sapphire ring when he accidentally pushed her off the Jinyuan Bridge. Unfortunately, they only caught him when I was ten. Not long after that, Father passed away. All in all, he had been inside for 15 years."
With that, Li Zishen’s eyes became moist.
Once again, he remembered his father, who had passed away in a car accident, and the two last wishes he imparted.
1. Be sure to find Yi Xiaodan’s body.
2. Improve Special Medicine 8028.
At that moment, Li Zishen began to suspect that his father might have committed suicide rather than died from fatigued driving as the coroner determined.
The murderer had been brought to justice, and his wish was fulfilled. Content orıginally comes from Nove1Fire.net
"Brother Shen, also, it turns out Song Dapeng was kind of a relative to the Madam... well, not exactly a relative, the kind without blood relation."
"You mean... they knew each other?"
"Yes, it was confirmed by Song Dapeng’s wife; however, probably because the relation is too distant, the Yuan and Song families rarely interacted."
After hearing Bai Long’s words, Li Zishen didn’t say much more; he just instructed him to keep it confidential for now.
A few minutes later, Li Zihan pushed the door open.
"Brother, come eat something. Nanny Wu specially made your favorite tomato beef, stir-fried bamboo shoots, and also..."
"Okay, just set it there."
At that moment, Li Zishen was worried about his mother’s condition and wasn’t in the mood to eat.
He feared his mother might not wake up.
As his brother, Li Zihan obviously understood and cheerfully walked over.
"Brother, don’t worry. Mom will get better very soon. Have something to eat first. Nanny Wu’s cooking will surely make you want a third bite after the first one, hahaha."
While comforting Li Zishen, Li Zihan opened the thermal box.
Li Zishen glanced at the beef, then at the bedridden Madam Lai, and finally picked up the chopsticks and stuffed a piece of beef into his mouth.
"How is it, tastes good, right?" Li Zihan asked with concern.
"Yeah, it’s quite delicious."
Li Zishen struggled to swallow the piece of beef and managed to squeeze out a weak smile for his brother.
"Then eat some more, haha."
Seeing his brother finally eating properly, Li Zihan felt much more relieved.
He knew that his mother was ill, and his brother, naturally, was under not a little stress. But the more it was , the more he needed to take care of himself.
So, he opened the stir-fried bamboo shoots again.
"Um, that’s right. Only when you’re full can you protect Mom and the handsome me."
Li Zishen looked at the rich food inside the insulated box, a warmth surged in his heart. He understood that his brother was using food to encourage him.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You’ve been my idol since I was little, the pillar of our family. If anything, I should be thanking you. Hahaha."
Li Zihan’s words suddenly made Li Zishen think of the Jiang siblings in Huang City.
Fighting over money, both overtly and covertly.
Compared to them, his brother Li Zihan truly warmed his heart.
Chicheng, top floor of the Lingxiao Group building.
At two in the afternoon, Leng Lingxiao brought Tang Xiaowan by helicopter and arrived at what was his territory.
"How is it?" Leng Lingxiao asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, very nice, quite majestic! But there’s a slight flaw... there’s no office for me here, I’ll reluctantly give it a 95."
"What are you talking about? How could there not be?"
Tang Xiaowan said in surprise, "Really?"
"Silly girl, you’re one of the shareholders. How could you not have an office! It’s just that due to various reasons... you haven’t been assigned any substantive tasks over the years."
"Oh, do I own a lot of shares?"
"It’s okay, at least enough to cover a lifetime of food and clothing. Compared to me though... it’s a bit less."
"Psh, as long as it’s enough."
"By the way, Tangtang, I almost forgot to say, after the holiday you’ll continue training, twice a week."
Tang Xiaowan, who had just been excited for a while, suddenly felt downhearted, "No way, training again? And twice a week?"
"Girls naturally are at a disadvantage in strength. It’s always good to exercise. What if you encounter an emergency? Tangtang, remember, at any time, under any circumstances, you must know how to protect yourself—even if it means giving up everything else but your life."
What Leng Lingxiao meant here was about taking revenge.
Ever since he found out that Tang Xiaowan was Yi Xiaodan’s daughter, he hadn’t stopped worrying for a moment.
"Don’t be absent-minded, remember it."
Tang Xiaowan stuck out her tongue, then smiled sweetly, "Got it, can we go in now?"
The two then entered the elevator.
"I want to see my office first."
"Fine, it’s on the 29th floor."
"Wow, just like my building number at Jinyuan Academy, 29, so easy to remember, hahaha."
"This floor is reserved for only the most important people."
As they were speaking, the elevator doors opened. Leng Lingxiao intended to lead Tang Xiaowan out together, but she stepped back with a beaming smile.
"After you, boss. I am your little follower, your cute, beautiful, and considerate Little Tangtang."
Her voice was tender and sweet.
Leng Lingxiao’s heart was melting, and he wished he could immediately give her a kiss and a hug.
But being in the elevator, he restrained himself.
"Boss, your time is very precious!" Tang Xiaowan reminded him again.
As he finished speaking, Leng Lingxiao coughed lightly twice, straightened his body very cooperatively, then, with a bit of arrogance, slowly walked out of the elevator.
What he craved was this type of exaggerated adoration, but it absolutely had to come from Tang Xiaowan.
