Qin Yu quickly answered the phone: "Auntie? What's wrong?"
"Xiaoyu!" The aunt across the street was extremely anxious. "When are you coming back?"
Qin Yu glanced at the report on the table: "I'm working overtime at the hospital today, so I probably won't be going back."
He paused, then asked, "What's wrong?"
The aunt said, "Grandpa slipped and fell while walking, and hurt his back. You usually massage it for him; I don't know how. Grandpa is in a lot of pain now; his face is all pale..."
Qin Yu's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly stood up: "Grandpa, are you alright?"
"I've checked him out, it's nothing serious, just his back... Xiaoyu, do you think you can come back? I really can't take care of the old man by myself."
Qin's parents are abroad, he is working overtime at the hospital, and the maids who work there have all gone home. Now, only the old man and the aunt who takes care of him are left at home.
Qin Yu turned and walked out of the doctor's office, saying as he went, "I'll be right back. Take good care of my grandfather."
After hanging up the phone, he casually instructed, "Take good care of the old man."
The doctor nodded: "Okay."
There was an elderly man at home, so Qin Yu didn't dare to delay and left the hospital immediately.

Jiujin Platinum Palace —
After returning home, Gu Yibei received an urgent meeting, and it was already late when he came out of the study.
Upon seeing the maid, he asked, "Where's Nan Nan?"
"Miss Ji is in her room."
Gu Yibei responded and immediately went upstairs to their bedroom.
Upon opening the bedroom door, Gu Yibei didn't see Ji Zhinan at first glance. After carefully looking around, he finally found the person he was looking for on the balcony.
Ji Zhinan squatted on the balcony, hugging his calves with both hands, staring blankly at the flowers and plants outside.
The distance below is five stories high. If Ji Zhinan loses his footing even slightly, he could fall off the balcony, which is extremely dangerous.
Gu Yibei's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly stepped forward: "Nan Nan!"
Upon hearing Gu Yibei's voice, Ji Zhinan turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, then turned back to continue staring blankly.
"Come on, get down. Leave Grandpa's matter to me. I will definitely wake him up!"
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Gu Yibei had felt what it meant to feel fear that arose from the depths of his heart.
It's so high, he was really afraid she might accidentally...
Gu Yibei carefully approached Ji Zhinan, grabbed her tightly with both hands, and carried her down from the balcony.
Feeling her truly in his arms, Gu Yibei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
It might sound unbelievable, but he was so frightened by her that his palms were now covered in cold sweat.
Holding Ji Zhinan tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to knead her into himself, Gu Yibei's voice still carried an inescapable fear.
"I'll give you my life if you want, but don't scare me like that again, okay..."
He dared not think about it, he really dared not...
Ji Zhinan nestled quietly in his arms, without arguing.
It's all so chaotic. Ever since she learned about her grandfather's accident, her mind has been a complete mess.
Only standing on the balcony and breathing in the fresh air could make her feel a little better.
“Gu Yibei…” she began.
"Um."
“Grandpa’s accident was definitely not an accident,” Ji Zhinan said with certainty.
"..."
Before Gu Yibei could reply, Ji Zhinan continued, "Ji Zhixia's eyes were very strange today. I saw guilt in her eyes. Yes, guilt."
