The Lin family's car?
Lin Zhaojiang's expression froze. "Who from the Lin family?"
"Judging from the license plate, it seems to be... the Second Master's house."
"What?"
Lin Zhaojiang frowned.
My second uncle's family has always been aloof from worldly affairs and never interferes in the affairs of the family or the group. Their approach is simply to receive benefits from the Lin family on time and not to concern themselves with anything else.
But why would my second uncle's car be at the hospital entrance?
Lin Zhaojiang was completely baffled and could only order his men to keep a close watch.
Song Wan slept very restlessly, having one strange dream after another. In her dreams, she returned to that place, that old-fashioned little house, and heard a baby crying upstairs...
She woke up with a start, finding herself drenched in sweat, her pillow soaked through.
Lin Zhaojiang was worried about Song Wan's health, so he spoke with Xiao Liran and asked her to rest for a few more days. Xiao Liran was also very understanding and revised the contract to postpone Song Wan's manuscript submission date.
But she was puzzled as to why Song Wan had suddenly become like this.
Lin Zhaojiang told her about Song Wan's encounter with a pregnant woman.
Xiao Liran looked puzzled: "How come she had to run into this? That's too much of a coincidence!"
"Yes." Lin Zhaojiang's expression darkened slightly. "I've already had someone investigate, and that pregnant woman is very suspicious."
“My approach has always been: better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!” Xiao Liran smiled. “It might be a bit extreme, but it’s not excessive at all when it comes to protecting people. So I support your decision!”
"Thanks."
"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know!"
Xiao Liran hung up the phone after speaking, just then someone knocked on the office door.
Linna walked in with a smile and reported on the latest work progress.
"The main problem lies with the manuscript." After listening, Xiao Liran looked up at Lin Na and asked, "Tell me, why has the progress become like this?"
"This...it's my fault." Lin Na said apologetically, "It's my fault for not taking good care of Song Wan, it's not her fault."
Did I say I blamed her?
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault!" Linna hurriedly said, "I didn't provide adequate guidance, which caused her to procrastinate. It's all my dereliction of duty."
Xiao Liran frowned at first, then smiled gently. A seasoned veteran, she heard a hint of sarcasm in her words.
She looked down at her cup and couldn't help but laugh again—Rachel had been so prescient, making her a cup of green tea in advance.
However, judging from Lin Na's work performance during this period, she is indeed dedicated, competent, and impeccable. Moreover, she has mentored many best-selling authors in the past, and her achievements are quite outstanding. It would be unfair to misunderstand her because of Song Wan's incident...
Or perhaps, Song Wan's situation was just an accident?
Xiao Liran pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "How about this, you give me the manuscript, and I'll read it through carefully to see what the problems are."
"No need for that," Linna said with a forced smile.
"What's wrong? I'm just trying to lighten your workload!"
"Actually, there are no problems anymore!" Lin Na said. "Mr. Xiao, you are so busy, and you still asked me to review the manuscript, which is even more my fault."
Xiao Liran waved her hand, "It's all for work, there's no right or wrong!"
“Yes, it’s all for work,” Lin Na said clearly. “So Mr. Xiao really doesn’t need to look at it. Since you’ve offered me a high salary, it means you believe in my abilities. Heh, if you doubt someone, don’t use them; if you use someone, don’t doubt them, right? So Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I definitely won’t let you down!”
"you……"
Before Xiao Liran could finish speaking, Lin Na gave a slight bow, smiled, and turned to leave the office.
Xiao Liran was stunned for a long time.
After all these years of being decisive and efficient, this is the first time I've encountered such a setback!
"Rachel!" she dialed the intercom. "Come over here right now!"
"What's wrong, boss?"
"No matter what method you use, get the latest revised version of Song Wanshu's manuscript from Lin Na's computer!"
"This..." Rachel was completely confused. "Doesn't Writer Song have it?"
“I highly suspect the versions are different,” Xiao Liran narrowed her eyes. “Otherwise, why wouldn’t she dare give it to me?”

Song Wan has been resting in the hotel for the past few days.
Lin Zhaojiang tried his best to spend time with her, but he was too busy with company affairs and couldn't stay by her side 24 hours a day.
Song Wan didn't know what was wrong with her. Ever since she saved that pregnant woman, she had been restless, had splitting headaches, and her mental state had plummeted.
Lin Zhaojiang had originally planned to take her out for a walk that day, but an important meeting came up unexpectedly, forcing him to stay at the company. Song Wan considerately told him not to worry, saying she was feeling much better and could rest at home even if they didn't go out.
"Then you must wait for me," Lin Zhaojiang said softly. "I'll go back this afternoon and take you out for dinner."
"Um."
Song Wan smiled and hung up the phone.
But looking at the clock, it's only 10 a.m.
There's still a long day ahead...
She stood on the balcony, stretched, looked at the bright sunlight, and sighed that another day was about to slip away.
However, someone called her at that moment.
I heard you've been on vacation these past few days. How are you?
Song Wan was taken aback. Lin Na's gentle voice was full of concern for her, and her words, like the sunshine at that moment, warmed her heart.
"Is it... that I've put too much pressure on you? Song Wan, I'm so sorry. If it's my fault, then I sincerely apologize. I only wanted you to get good grades; I didn't mean to make you revise the manuscript over and over again. I'm really sorry..."
"Oh, it's nothing," Song Wan said softly. "It's my own fault; I'm not feeling well."
"How are things now?"
"Much better."
"I think you're probably under too much pressure," Lin Na smiled. "The weather's nice today, so I asked Mr. Xiao for the day off. How about I take you out for a walk?"
"this……"
Before Song Wan could refuse, Lin Na continued, "I'm just doing this on my older brother's orders! Song Wan, we'll be family sooner or later. If my brother can't be with you, isn't it good that I'm here for you?"
Song Wan remained silent for a moment.
Actually, she didn't have a bad impression of Linna, so she wasn't very wary of her.
Although Linna's words last time made her uncomfortable, as she just said, they will be family sooner or later.
Besides, those words were just hearsay from Linna...
Song Wan looked at the blue sky and realized that she had been cooped up at home for a long time.
"Let's go for a walk!" Linna said without missing a beat. "I know your brother will be done with work this afternoon. I'll stay with you this morning, and then I'll leave you with him this afternoon!"
"Maybe going out for a walk will give you some writing inspiration? I was just thinking of discussing the final draft with you."
Hearing this, Song Wan nodded. "Okay, where shall we meet?"
