Lu Qingzhou looked at Lin Yinuo's reply and stroked his chin in deep thought.

"Yinuo is unavailable, see if Xiaoxi is free."

"Xiaoxi, did you miss me? Want to come out and have some hot pot together?"

Chen Xiaoxi looked at Lu Qingzhou's message with a strange expression. Lin Yinuo had just shown her her chat history with Lu Qingzhou, and the content of Lu Qingzhou's message was exactly the same as Lin Yinuo's. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Tonight?"

Lu Qingzhou: "Yes!"

Chen Xiaoxi: "I've started my period, I'm not leaving until next Wednesday."

Inside the office, Lu Qingzhou looked at Chen Xiaoxi's reply with a pained expression. What bad luck!

She then replied: "Oh, I see. Then we really can't have hot pot. Hot pot is canceled today. Let's meet next Wednesday!"

Lin Yinuo watched Chen Xiaoxi and Lu Qingzhou chatting and laughed heartily.

"He's a complete scoundrel, utterly wicked."

Chen Xiaoxi stomped her foot angrily after seeing Lu Qingzhou's reply, "I think he just needs to be taught a lesson."

Lin Yinuo chimed in, "Yes, we must teach him a lesson and show him that we're not easily fooled!"

"Ring... Ring..."

Just then, Chen Xiaoxi's phone rang.

Chen Xiaoxi frowned slightly as she looked at Xu Yang's name, but still answered the phone:

On the other end of the phone, Xu Yang's anxious voice immediately came through, "Junior sister, please come back quickly. There's a problem with the medicine at the clinic. I called Master, but no one answered..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoxi stood up abruptly, "Okay, I'll go back right away."

Lin Yinuo asked, "What's wrong, cousin?"

Chen Xiaoxi hung up the phone. "Something happened at the clinic. I have to go back right away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xiaoxi grabbed her bag, turned around, and walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Lin Yinuo didn't press the matter further; as a teacher, she couldn't offer any help.

He got up and went back to school!

afternoon,

Lu Qingzhou was preparing to pick up Zhouzhou and Momo.

He suddenly received a message from Lin Yinuo.

Yinuo: "Come pick me up from my school this afternoon. If you get there but I don't, you'll have to wait."

If I arrive before you, then you'll have to wait.

Lu Qingzhou looked at the text on his phone.

I figured this girl must be picking a fight with me because of what happened at noon.

He thought for a moment and replied, "Two are waiting, one is 'waiting for four,' and the other is 'waiting for four'?"

The message was sent successfully, but after waiting for a while, I did not receive a reply from Lin Yinuo!

Lu Qingzhou checked the time and planned to pick up Momo and Zhouzhou first, then go back to pick up Lin Yinuo.

At the entrance of 'Yangguang Primary School'

As soon as Lu Qingzhou turned off the engine, he saw Lin Yinuo striding out of the front door with her long legs.

Seeing that Lu Qingzhou had already arrived, Lin Yinuo's lips curled up slightly.

He opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. "You're punctual, thankfully."

Lu Qingzhou smiled. "Are you planning to go to a hot pot dinner?"

Lin Yinuo looked at his mischievous grin and naturally knew what he meant. She gave him a shy glare and said, "I have something to tell you."

Seeing Lin Yinuo's serious expression, Lu Qingzhou slowly started the car. "You look so serious, what happened?"

Lin Yinuo then briefly recounted the story of Chen Xiaoxi's family clinic to Lu Qingzhou.

Lu Qingzhou frowned slightly. "Why didn't she tell me?"

Lin Yinuo thought for a moment, "I don't know the specifics right now. The reason I told you was so you could check what's going on. I called her, but no one answered."

Lu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said to Lin Yinuo, "Okay, I'll take you back first, and then I'll go check what's going on."

Lin Yinuo nodded, "Mhm."

...

Lu Qingzhou drove to 'Taihe Medical Clinic' and immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw the closed clinic doors.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door. The old man in the security booth opened the window, saw that it was Lu Qingzhou, and his eyes instinctively darted away: "It's Mr. Lu. Miss Chen isn't at the clinic. She was taken away by the police."

Lu Qingzhou was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Where's Dean Chen?"

The old security guard sighed, "Today, the Market Supervision Administration received a complaint that our clinic used substandard medicines, causing patients' conditions to worsen. The police have also intervened; Ms. Chen and Director Chen have been taken away for investigation!"

Lu Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned around to drive away.

A car slowly drove up to the clinic, and Chen Xiaoxi got out of the passenger seat, followed by Old Man Chen.

After the two got out of the car, Xu Yang opened the driver's side door and got out!

Seeing this, Lu Qingzhou hurriedly went over and took Chen Xiaoxi's hand, "Xiaoxi, Uncle Chen, are you alright?"

Old Chen forced a smile, "It's alright, thanks to Xu Yang for pulling some strings and getting us out."

Lu Qingzhou couldn't help but glance at Xu Yang again, "It's good that you're alright...the clinic..."

Chen Xiaoxi felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Lu Qingzhou rushing over.

Seeing that Lu Qingzhou still wanted to say something, she gave a wry smile and interrupted him: "Let's go inside first and talk."

Xu Yang's gaze remained fixed on Lu Qingzhou. He hadn't expected Lu Qingzhou to come and meddle in his affairs again. He gritted his teeth inwardly, wishing he could rush up and teach him a lesson.

But considering his own plans, he held back.

Lu Qingzhou glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and followed Chen Xiaoxi and the others into the clinic.

The heavy wooden door of the clinic closed behind us.

It shut out the deepening twilight outside the door.

The air in Old Chen's office was stagnant. The cup of tea on the table, long since cold, reflected Old Chen's furrowed brows and the deep weariness in his eyes.
