On the other side.
After Xu Qingyun gave him a hint, Ji Hanchen organized a get-together that night.
Because Xu Qingyun had just been out of danger, Ji Hanchen didn't dare to go far, so he called Bai Ruiting, Shen Luo, and Lu Chuan to the hospital.
It just so happened that Xu Qingyun was staying in a VIP deluxe suite. While the woman was talking inside, the men were eating, playing cards, and chatting outside, without disturbing each other.
However, Xia Chu was still under house arrest by Shen Luo, so she did not come.
"Thank you for your hard work the past few days. I'll offer you tea instead of wine." Ji Hanchen held up a teacup filled with freshly brewed top-quality tea.
He dared not drink alcohol, fearing that someone might harm Xu Qingyun.
Lu Chuan chuckled, "What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so formal? Are you even a little embarrassed?"
Despite saying that, he was the first to clink glasses with Ji Hanchen.
Shen Luo was absent-minded. After bumping into Ji Hanchen, she glanced at Xu Qingyun's room.
Xu Qingyun is very clever; she probably became suspicious when she saw that Xia Chu hadn't come.
What's more, there's Qin Shuang. That woman seems fierce, but she's very meticulous.
Shen Luo was absent-minded and didn't pick up the cup.
At this moment, Bai Ruiting clinked glasses with Fu Nanzhou and chuckled. "Han Chen, we've been friends for so many years, no need to be so polite."
A cold glint flashed in Ji Hanchen's eyes. He curled his thin lips and casually asked, "Do you think there's a problem with Huo Xize's DNA test?"
Bai Ruiting was taken aback, then suddenly put down his teacup and asked seriously, "Han Chen, do you believe me?"
Ji Hanchen lowered his thick, long eyelashes, concealing the sharpness in his eyes, and said coldly, "I believe you, so don't disappoint me. The test result wasn't quite right; we'll redo it when we have time."
Bai Ruiting nodded. "Okay."
Shen Luo and Lu Chuan looked at each other but said nothing.
At that moment, Bai Ruiting's phone vibrated.
Seeing the word "Father" in the contact name, Bai Ruiting picked up the phone and walked into the hallway before answering, "Dad. Okay, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Bai Ruiting returned to the ward. "Han Chen, you guys eat first. I have something to do and have to leave right away."
Lu Chuan frowned, somewhat disappointed. "What's the matter that necessitates leaving at this time?"
Bai Ruiting frowned and smiled wryly, "My dad's pressuring me to get married, he's come all the way to the south of the city."
Lu Chuan exclaimed, "Holy crap! Uncle Bai? Hahaha, I always thought he was the most open-minded person and wouldn't pressure me to get married."
Bai Ruiting said helplessly, "He is quite open-minded towards others, but he takes the matter of continuing the Bai family line very seriously. I can even not find a girlfriend first, but I must find someone to marry, have a child for the Bai family, and then I can get a divorce."
Lu Chuan clicked his tongue twice. "Uncle Bai is really trendy. He had a child and then divorced, and he's going to give the woman an exorbitant alimony payment? Uncle Bai is quite fond of doing charity work."
Bai Ruiting smiled bitterly, "He doesn't care about money as long as the child isn't illegitimate."
After getting dressed, Bai Ruiting said goodbye to Xu Qingyun and Qin Shuang before leaving.
Ji Hanchen watched his retreating figure, his eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.
Shen Luo hit the nail on the head, "Do you believe Bai Shuze would come to Nancheng because of pressure to get married?"
Ji Hanchen lowered his head and sipped his tea. "I don't believe it."
Shen Luo naturally didn't believe it either.
They really didn't want to doubt Bai Ruiting, after all, they were good brothers who grew up together.
But once the seed of doubt sprouts, it will quickly take root and grow.
**
The Bai family's villa is located in the southern part of the city.
Bai Ruiting returned to the villa, where Bai Shuze was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze deep into the darkness, revealing a profound depth.
Upon seeing him, Bai Ruiting asked in a deep voice, "Did you come here specifically to explain why you falsified the DNA test results for Xu Qingyun and Huo Xize?"
“No.” Bai Shuze looked away and turned to his son. “I’ll tell you about this later.”
"Why not now?! Why get involved in the Huo family's affairs? Dad, what exactly are you plotting?"
Bai Ruiting didn't understand.
Bai Shuze sternly warned him, "Just do as I say."
"Dad, I betrayed Han Chen. Do you know what that means? If this is exposed, Ji Han Chen and I will never be friends again! We might even become enemies!"
"If it really comes to that, then there will be no other choice. Ruiting, remember, I have my reasons for asking you to do this."
Bai Ruiting tensed up. "Then tell me your reason now."
“It’s not the right time,” Bai Shuze refused.
Bai Ruiting sneered, "Not the right time? Heh heh heh, then when will the right time be?! When I become enemies with Han Chen?!"
Bai Shuze did not answer.

Hospital.
Xu Qingyun could hear the three men talking outside and asked softly, "Why didn't Sister Chu Chu come today?"
Qin Shuang glanced at the door and lowered her voice, "I suspect that Shen Gou has detained Xiao Chu."
"He didn't reply to my messages last night. I asked Lu Chuan to check the hospital's surveillance footage, but damn it, it had been deleted."
"Why would anyone delete hospital surveillance footage for no reason?"
“Chen Gou carried Xiao Chu away yesterday, do you remember? I heard they went to the OB-GYN.”
Xu Qingyun was taken aback. "You mean... Sister Chu Chu is pregnant?"
Qin Shuang squinted, "It's pretty much true. Shen Gou's brain has been punctured. Xia Chu wants a divorce, but he's dragging his feet. If Xia Chu is really pregnant, he'll definitely use the child to threaten her."
“I always felt that Xiao Chu was threatened, and that Shen Gou locked her up to have a baby.”
Xu Qingyun frowned, her body immediately trembled, and a terrifying chill emanated from her.
Having experienced her mother's ordeal, she was exceptionally sensitive to and deeply abhorred imprisonment.
Xu Qingyun lowered her voice, "Sister Xiaoshuang, we can't let Sister Chuchu stay locked up."
