Lu Anning couldn't stay at home, so she went back to work in the company two days later. Although her left hand did not affect her work, the team members were still extra careful. Basically, Lu Anning only needed to look at the documents, and the other team members would handle it consciously.
The project at No. 1 Academy was going smoothly, and she just needed to keep an eye on it.
Lu Anning was surprised to receive a sudden call from the hospital. It turned out that Lu Zhenghao had woken up. Du Man couldn't get through to Lu Anning, so she asked the hospital department to contact her.
When Lu Anning heard Duman's voice again, he showed no emotion at all.
"Mrs. Lu, is there something wrong?"
"Zhenghao has woken up, thanks to you and the Third Master's willingness to help treat him, otherwise, he might not be able to save his life. He already knows about Yunxi's situation and wants to see you."
Lu Anning had a cold face and refused without thinking too much.
"There's nothing more to talk about between us. I don't want to see you again."
Lu Anning was about to hang up when Du Man hurriedly said, "Don't you want to know your own life story? When we took you home, the dean gave us something."
Lu Anning hesitated for a moment and sneered.
"What are you planning to get in return this time? You no longer have that wooden sign. I know everything. Duman, you keep using the same tactics. It's really boring."
"You only know one thing, but you don't know there's something else. This time, we really don't have any other ideas."
Lu Anning remained silent for a long time.
Just when Duman was about to give up, Lu Anning finally responded.
"Okay! I'll come see you tomorrow afternoon."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Anning sat at his workstation, unable to calm down for a long time.
Besides the agarwood card, is there anything else?
If it was true, then she had a new clue.
Lu Anning didn't dare to think that everything would go too smoothly. She kept telling herself that the worst case scenario was that they were lying and not to have too much hope, but she still couldn't sleep.
Fortunately, the next day was the day she went to the hospital to remove the stitches. Before seeing the results, Lu An Ning did not tell Tang Jingyuan.
The next morning, Tang Jingyuan wanted to accompany Lu An Ning to the hospital to remove the stitches, but Lu An Ning softly refused.
"The company is so busy. Aren't you currently discussing a new R&D project with Smith? I can just remove the stitches myself. If you're really worried, you can take me to the hospital before going back to the company."
Tang Jingyuan frowned slightly, but couldn't resist Lu Anning's nagging and finally agreed.
There shouldn't be any danger in the hospital!
The stitch removal process went smoothly, but Lu Anning was a little uncomfortable with the sudden freedom of his left hand after it had been fixed for such a long time.
She moved around in the corridor for a while and felt much more comfortable. Then she walked towards Lu Zhenghao's ward, feeling nervous.
In the ward, Du Man was patiently feeding Lu Zhenghao liquid food. A casual glance at him revealed some genuine human affection, but Lu An Ning had long been tired of the selfish faces of these two people and was not much moved by the scene before him.
She knocked on the door politely. Duman turned around and saw that it was her. He was much more enthusiastic than last time.
"An Ning! Come in quickly. Your father has woken up and knows a lot of things, so he wants to see you. Thanks to you and the Third Master, he can finally have some porridge in. I feel relieved now."
Du Man's uncharacteristic enthusiasm was met with Lu An Ning's indifference. She even glanced at the chair Du Man handed her without even thinking of sitting down.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Du Man's smile froze. Lu Zhenghao lay on the hospital bed and looked at her, the light in his eyes gradually dimming.
He sighed softly: "I can understand your attitude. I just heard that your injury has just healed, and it will be tiring to stand and talk. Don't worry! I won't keep you for too long."
Lu Zhenghao gave a look, and Du Man tactically walked over and pulled Lu An Ning to sit down, and closed the door of the ward.
Their eyes met, and Lu Anning looked at Lu Zhenghao calmly, without sympathy or hatred.
"Just get to the point!"
"I know you're not the kind of person who would kill everyone, but it's my daughter. Haha... I can't blame her. She's all after profit. Ultimately, it's all our fault. Back then, she asked, so I told her you left some things with me. Who knew she would actually want to keep them in her heart?"
Lu Anning didn't respond. She didn't want to judge what her family had done, right or wrong. They weren't innocent in their current situation.
"I know I deserved it. Perhaps this daughter is my retribution. After dying once, everything suddenly became clear to me. Your mother told me everything. Lu Yunxi is very ruthless. I believe you! Back then, when we brought you back from the orphanage, the director gave us some things. I'm sure you already know one of them, which is the agarwood tablet."
Lu Anning quietly clenched his fists: "You mean, besides the wooden sign, there are other things?"
Lu Zhenghao nodded. "Lu Yunxi was plotting, and I didn't completely trust her. There are some things I can't tell her. When she asked, I kept it a secret. Who knew she would actually steal the wooden plaque? That agarwood plaque alone is made of top-quality material. I asked around, and they said it's priceless, and there aren't many of them left now."
Lu Anning held his breath: "The Lu family went bankrupt, so you have nothing left, right? What else can you have!"
Lu Zhenghao smiled and said, "In addition to the inscribed agarwood plaque, there is also a seal carved from fine jade. It is engraved with small seal characters. The dean said that the seal was hidden in your blanket when he found you."
Lu Anning's heart suddenly rose to his throat: "Where is the seal now? Also, what does that woman living in the village in the city have to do with me?"
With a glimmer of hope, Lu Anning was extremely excited and eager to know the whole story.
At this moment, Lu Zhenghao stared at her and suddenly smiled: "I can tell you everything I know, and I can give you everything. However, you have to agree to one condition of mine."
