In the hospital room, Lin Yichen was still sitting there making phone calls, but he couldn't get through to his son.
"Thompson, do you know where my son is? I haven't been able to get through to him on the phone for the past two days. His mother had such an important surgery today, and he wasn't here either." Lin Yichen had been worried for the past two days, wondering if something had happened to his son.
The blond, blue-eyed butler walked up to him and said, “Sir, Mr. Xuan said he went to the Aubi Winery and will be back after his inspection. Look, this is the message he sent me. He also asked me to take care of Madam.”
After saying that, he handed over his phone. Lin Yichen looked at the messages on the phone and frowned.
He didn't understand why his son would go to inspect the winery at this time. Was business more important than his mother's surgery?
Lin Yichen was filled with questions and dissatisfaction, but he decided to wait until his son returned before having a proper talk with him.
"Okay, then you take good care of Madam here. I have to leave Country C today. My son will call me back when he gets back."
"Yes, sir."
Just then, the assistant rushed in, his face beaming with joy. "Sir, the person is out. The surgery was a success."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll go take a look. You wait for me downstairs. We'll set off for Country A shortly."
"Yes, sir."
In the ward, Aunt Ye had already been wheeled out and placed on the bed. Several experts were there, and Lin Yichen pushed open the door and walked in.
When the young expert saw him walk in, he quickly went over to him obsequiously; "Sir, the surgery is over, and it was very successful."
"Um."
Lin Yichen walked to the bedside and glanced at the patient, a fleeting tenderness in his eyes.
"Are there any postoperative complications, or is there a possibility of recurrence?"
"This?" The young expert hesitated to respond, as he hadn't performed the surgery and was worried about potential problems.
Xiao Qianqian, sitting in the corner, was inwardly turbulent. It really was the president. It seemed her husband was right; Uncle Ye's death might be closely related to him. She glanced at this high-ranking man and thought he was truly unworthy of his position, abusing his power for personal gain and indiscriminately killing innocent people.
The expert next to her glanced at her and saw that she was in a daze. The other experts also didn't know how to answer the question, so they all looked over.
"Ruth, the master is asking you a question."
Xiao Qianqian only came to her senses at this moment. She glanced at Old Liu and gestured with her eyes to indicate something.
"The doctor asked if you have any aftereffects or if it will recur?"
"Based on the current situation, the surgery was very successful, and no obvious sequelae were found. However, any surgery carries certain risks. As for whether it will recur, I have a few traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions here. If you follow my instructions for recuperation, I can guarantee that it will not recur." After saying this, Xiao Qianqian handed over the prescriptions she had written.
Lin Yichen took the prescription she handed him, glanced around at everyone present, and finally focused on Xiao Qianqian. "Are you the surgeon in charge of this operation?"
Xiao Qianqian replied calmly and confidently, "Yes, I am the chief surgeon for this operation."
Lin Yichen scrutinized Xiao Qianqian, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. This woman was indeed quite ugly, but she spoke with remarkable composure and confidence.
"You are very confident." Lin Yichen's voice was calm yet authoritative.
Xiao Qianqian raised her head and looked directly into his eyes. "I'm just doing my duty to ensure the patient's recovery."
Lin Yichen's lips curled up slightly. "Very good. I expect you to keep your promise. If there are any problems, I will hold you responsible."
After saying that, he turned and left the ward, leaving everyone stunned.
Dr. Liu walked over with a smile; "Girl, what prescription did you give her? Is it really guaranteed that the cancer cells won't recur?"
Xiao Qianqian replied with a smile, "This is a secret recipe that is very effective in preventing the recurrence of cancer cells."
Expert Liu nodded, a look of appreciation on his face. "Not bad, girl. If this case is successful, I hope you can contribute your prescription in the future to benefit more people."
"Yes, Miss Ruth, you've really impressed us today. Your silver needle technique is quite impressive," another expert said with a smile as he approached.
"Yes, yes, yes, young man, do you have any plans to become an apprentice? I'm already this old, and I'd like to take on a last disciple. I wonder if you'd be willing?" The one who said this was an expert with slightly gray hair, Xiao Tiancheng, a leading figure in the country.
Xiao Qianqian was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected this titan of a scholar to want to take her as a disciple. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Elder Xiao, but I currently have no plans to become your disciple."
Xiao Tiancheng smiled and said, "It's alright, it's normal for young people to have their own ideas. But I still hope you can consider it, after all, you'll have better development opportunities if you learn from me." After saying that, he patted Xiao Qianqian on the shoulder and walked away.
The experts around Xiao Tiancheng all cast envious glances at him upon hearing his words. The young expert, in particular, had visited several times before, hoping to become Xiao's apprentice, but Xiao had always politely declined. Now, however, Xiao was offering to take this ugly fellow as his disciple. A look of jealousy flashed in Xiao's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Old Liu approached Xiao Qianqian and quietly asked, "Aren't you really considering becoming her apprentice?"
"Old Liu, you know I'm very busy, and I really don't have time to seek out a master to learn from."
Old Liu realized that she was currently serving as the president of the Ye Group and didn't have much time to study, so he gave up trying to persuade her.
In the dimly lit basement, Ye Boxuan's voice grew hoarse from shouting, but no one paid him any attention.
His head was hanging low, and he had no strength left in his body.
Just then, the door opened, and a figure walked in. Ye Boxuan looked up, his eyes filled with anticipation.
However, when he saw who it was, his eyes instantly dimmed.
It turned out to be a servant who brought food. After putting down the food, he turned and left without even glancing at Ye Boxuan.
Ye Boxuan felt a pang of sadness and grabbed his rice bowl, wolfing down his food.
After finishing his meal, he leaned against the wall, silently reflecting on his situation.
He knew he couldn't just sit here and wait to die any longer; he had to find a way to escape.
Is that woman planning to keep him locked up here indefinitely? I wonder if his adoptive father has even noticed he's missing. Several days have passed, and there's still no sign of him. Something's definitely not right.
He was thinking about how to escape from here. This basement had no windows, only a single door, making it extremely difficult to leave.
Lu Tingyan and several others chased after them to Qinglong Temple.
"Captain, we traced his escape route here, and he hasn't been seen since."
"This is actually a good hiding place. It will be very difficult to catch him. He seems to be a clever person."
"What do we do now, Captain?"
"Even if he's a slippery eel, I'll find him. Investigate!"
