Meng Xinyi: "..."
"Go ahead," Lin Mo said calmly. "The clues about the medicine and the child are still with the Meng family. You still have a chance. Nothing will happen to you today, and your grandfather would never let anything happen to you."
Meng Xinyi could only go home first, and from afar she saw Zhan Jingting sitting in the living room.
Meng Xinyi walked into the house and greeted them casually, "Grandpa, Dad, Master Zhan."
"You unfilial daughter, kneel down!" Meng Xiaogan roared angrily.
Meng Xinyi was startled and quickly asked, "Dad, what happened? Why do I have to kneel?"
"You still dare to play dumb?" Meng Xiaogan was furious. "Bring the person up here!"
Several men were quickly brought into the living room. The man in the lead pointed at Meng Xinyi and shouted, "It's her! She's the one who ordered us to snatch the child!"
"What child are you trying to steal?" Meng Xinyi vehemently denied it. "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Jiang Dong said coldly, "Miss Meng, Master Zhan came here today with evidence, of course. Do you need to produce it? I'm afraid you'll only be more embarrassed then..."
Grandpa Meng said helplessly, "Xinyi, we Meng family members are responsible for our actions. You don't need to be afraid. Just admit what you've done, and Grandpa will cover for you."
Meng Xinyi knelt down with a thud. "Grandpa, it was me! I was bewitched! Please punish me!"
Grandpa Meng was furious and exasperated. "Why did you try to snatch the child?"
"That's because...because..." Meng Xinyi looked at Zhan Jingting cautiously, "I want to see Master Zhan..."
"What?" Old Master Meng asked in confusion. "Explain yourself more clearly."
"I want to see Master Zhan, but I've gone to the hotel to look for him many times, and he refuses to see me. So I thought if his child is with me, he would definitely be willing to come see me, which is why I resorted to this desperate measure..."
Zhan Jingting looked at her indifferently with his cold eyes, "Do you think I would believe such a thing?"
“Master Zhan, it’s true…” Meng Xinyi cried, tears streaming down her face. “I love you so much, and I want to see you so much. This is the only way I can think of.”
Jiang Dong said, "Miss Meng, no matter what excuse you make, your original intention is to hurt our young master. Not to mention that your actions have already caused real harm to the old man, and it is serious. You cannot shirk your responsibility for this."
"I really didn't mean for them to hurt anyone, really!" Meng Xinyi explained anxiously. "I'll take responsibility. I'll pay for the medical expenses, and I can even come to apologize in person. Master Zhan, please forgive me just this once? I did all this because I love you, I really love you so much..."
Zhan Jingting completely ignored him, his eyes lowered, a half-smile on his face, "Grandpa Meng, what do you say?"
“Young Master Zhan, it is my fault for not disciplining him properly, which is why this happened. I apologize to you on behalf of Xin Yi.” Old Master Meng’s attitude was sincere. “I also know that you don’t like these empty words. In order to show my sincerity, I am willing to tell you the clues about that child. I hope you can forgive Xin Yi’s ignorance.”
Zhan Jingting remained silent, lost in thought.
Old Master Meng said, "You all go out. I need to talk to Young Master Zhan about this privately."
The others had no choice but to leave.
"Young Master Zhan, considering the consequences aren't too serious, let's call it even, shall we?"
Zhan Jingting then looked up at him. "I accept the suggestion, but how do I know if the clues you provide are true or false, hmm?"
Grandpa Meng raised his hand and said, "I swear that if I utter even the slightest lie, my granddaughter Meng Xinyi will never find happiness in her life."
"Young Master Zhan, you know that the person I love most is Xin Yi. This solemn oath should make you believe me, right?"
Zhan Jingting was intrigued. "Tell me about it."
Old Master Meng then slowly explained, "The Meng family can no longer withstand any more turmoil. Although it still has some reputation and status in Suzhou, it is declining year by year. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, the Meng family always asks about the identity of patients before admitting them."
"About four years ago, a man named Jiang Cheng brought a newborn baby, gave the Meng family a large sum of money, and asked me to treat the baby."
Jiang Dong asked in disbelief, "The Jiang Cheng you're talking about, is he the Jiang Cheng who works for the Zhan family?"
“That’s right, it is your father Jiang Cheng. He was dead, but I don’t know why he came back to life.” Old Master Meng said, “After I knew he was from the Zhan family and confirmed that the money was clean, I naturally took in that child. At that time, I didn’t know you, Young Master Zhan, but the first time I saw you, I was sure that it must be your child because he looked so much like you, almost like you were made from the same mold.”
“The baby was probably premature and didn’t get enough nutrition in the womb. His condition was very dangerous. I spent a lot of time and effort treating him for more than half a month before I was able to save his life. Then Jiang Cheng took him away.”
"Before he left, he specifically instructed me not to reveal that he was alive. I dared not offend the Zhan family, so I kept my mouth shut."
Zhan Jingting stood up and said, "Grandpa Meng, let's leave it at that. Farewell."
Old Master Meng stood up. "Thank you, Young Master Zhan."
Jiang Dong's mind was buzzing. He belatedly realized what was happening and hurriedly followed them out. "Master Zhan, my father is still alive... How could he still be alive? If he's alive, why didn't he come back? And why did he secretly take your child away..."
"Once we find him, everything will be clear." Zhan Jingting walked out. "Don't feel pressured. I don't doubt his loyalty to the Zhan family. The child should be safe in his hands."
Jiang Dong nodded. "I'll arrange for people to go find him right away!"
......
After the Ghost Hand Doctor's health gradually improved, he began to administer acupuncture and medicine to Qiao Wanwan.
He also took care of Zhan Jingting and Eleven's health, checking their pulses every day.
"Eleven's condition has stabilized. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he won't relapse. He's escaped the Zhan family's misfortune. It's just unknown whether his children will inherit it in the future."
Zhan Jingting said, "I didn't think that far ahead, nor could I. The fact that he can stop having relapses is already a blessing from heaven, ensuring that Wanwan's efforts weren't wasted."
“Yes, things are already much better now.” The Ghost Hand Doctor looked at him. “You’re not as good as Eleven. Plus, you’ve been having trouble sleeping these days because you’re preoccupied, and your attacks are happening more often. That’s not a good thing.”
Zhan Jingting looked at the girl on the bed, "I can't get a good night's sleep as long as Wanwan hasn't woken up."
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself. It's a blessing that Wanwan is alive. Maybe thinking like this will make you feel better."
"Yes." Zhan Jingting composed himself. "Since your body has recovered considerably, we'll return to the capital in the next couple of days."
"What about the medicine from the Meng family?"
