"Dr. Qin, the hospital just sent in an emergency patient who needs your personal surgery."

"I understand, wait a moment." Qin Yu said, then turned to Gu Yibei.

He patted Gu Yibei on the shoulder and smiled gently: "I promised you that I would give you back a complete Ji Zhinan."

Gu Yibei smiled and said, "Thanks."

“There’s no need for thanks between brothers. Treat me to a meal sometime, and bring Zhi Nan and Lin Que along.”

"Okay." Gu Yibei responded, then, as if remembering something, added, "Nan Nan's best friend, Xing Fei..."

"You mean that girl?" Qin Yu suddenly realized, his eyes crinkling and the corners of his lips turning up. "That girl is fine. Her wounds have been treated. However, because she was too emotional, I had someone give her a sedative injection, and she's sleeping now."

Gu Yibei nodded.

"Then I'll go and get busy. If you need anything, just let the doctor and nurses know. I've already told them."

"good."

Qin Yu put his hands inside his white coat and followed the nurse to get busy.

Gu Yibei rushed to Ji Zhinan's ward, but the man stopped in his tracks before he could even step inside.

The ward door wasn't closed tightly, leaving a crack. He stood there, peering through the crack at the scene inside.

His Nannan lay still asleep on the hospital bed. Li Yuan sat by the bedside, holding Ji Zhinan's cold hands tightly.

At this moment, Gu Yibei could not see the man's superiority and arrogance as the hegemon of Europe. He only saw the excitement and helplessness of a father who had not seen his daughter for twenty years seeing her for the first time.

"Buzz—" His phone rang in his pocket. Gu Yibei lowered his eyes and glanced at the caller.

The phone number for Jiujin Platinum Palace.

He took two steps back and entered the nearby emergency exit.

"Hello--"

…………

Li Yuan didn't know how long he had been sitting in the chair; it could have been as short as three hours or as long as five or six hours.

Because he had been sitting for too long, his body was a little stiff. Li Yuan seemed oblivious to the protests coming from his body and continued to stare intently at Ji Zhinan's sleeping face.

The situation was urgent at the time, so he didn't get a good look at her. Now that he was sure she was safe, Li Yuan couldn't get tired of looking at her.

This is his daughter, the daughter Xiao Luo gave birth to for him.

"Buzz—buzz—" His phone, which was on the table, vibrated twice.

Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he turned to look at the phone.

Charlesson had been Li Yuan's secretary for many years, so his work ability was naturally excellent. In just a few hours, he had found Ji Zhinan's information for the first twenty years of his life and compiled it into a document, which he then sent to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan opened the file, and the first picture was of Ji Zhinan when she was a child. She was just a little kid back then, and looked to be about three or four years old.

She's so tiny and adorable; standing with a bunch of other kids, she's the cutest one.

Because of their personal reasons, Ji Pengfei and his wife never made Ji Zhinan public, so there was very little outside information about him. All that Charles found were photos of Ji Zhinan from his school days.

Photos of my elementary school pencil, pen, and calligraphy competitions; photos of my middle school math Olympiad awards; photos of my high school physics and chemistry awards; first prize in a Grade 10 piano competition; and my Grade 8 English proficiency, enabling me to converse fluently with foreigners…

Ji Zhinan used to be mild-mannered, and was raised by Madam Ji to be somewhat timid. He appeared gentle, weak, and easy to talk to.
