Just as Jing Chi was about to head towards the clinic, a girl suddenly rushed up to him and called him "Third Brother".
Jing Chi instinctively dodged Ye Zhonghong, his eyebrows furrowed in displeasure: "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Ye Zhonghong was stunned. Had her third brother lost his memory again?
"Third Brother, it's me, Zhonghong. You've forgotten me? Ye Zhonghong." Ye Zhonghong tried his best to make his appearance look familiar.
Jing Chi looked Ye Zhonghong up and down, then gave three words: "Don't know her."
After saying that, he walked past Ye Zhonghong and into the clinic.
"How could Third Brother not recognize me?" Ye Zhonghong was extremely distressed.
"Ye Zhonghong, he is Jing Chi, the young master of the Jing family, who is also the son of Fifth Aunt. How did he become your third brother?" Tang You curled her lips, disapproving of Ye Zhonghong's ugly behavior.
“He’s clearly my third brother, how did he become the young master of the Jing family? No, I have to go and ask him.” Ye Zhonghong still wanted to go into the clinic.
Tang You stopped him abruptly: "Do you want to be thrown out if you go in now? If you really don't believe me, let's go to the Jing family and wait there, then everything will be clear."
"you're right."
Inside the clinic, Li Ying was seeing a patient. After the patient left, Jing Chi sat down in front of Li Ying.
"I have something to tell you, but it's not convenient here."
Li Ying thought it must be her older brother's matter, nodded, and called Sang Zhi to come and see him. She then took Jing Chi to the backyard.
"Is there any progress on my brother's matter?"
“It’s not about your older brother, it’s about the clinic. Xiang Ming got a guy named Yan Biao out of Hu Zi, saying that this guy asked him to frame the clinic. I also looked into this Yan Biao and found out that he was actually a worker at a small factory owned by the Lu family.”
Li Ying fell into deep thought. If that's the case, then the person who framed the clinic was from the Lu family.
But Li Ying felt it was unlikely. Not to mention that Old Master Lu was a good person, even Lu Yufei wouldn't do something so unreliable.
There must be something hidden behind this.
"I want to go and verify this with Lu Yufei."
Do you think Lu Yufei will tell you the truth?
Jing Chi didn't believe that Lu Yufei would genuinely help Li Ying.
That was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman.
"Then let's go directly to the Lu family and find Elder Lu. I believe Elder Lu will give me an explanation."
Instead of going through all that trouble, it's better to just go directly to the person involved and ask them for a clear answer.
“Okay, I’ll go with you.” Jing Chi’s expression was serious.
"No need for that. Your Jing family and the Lu family are rivals. If they see you, the Lu family might be more vigilant."
Jing Chi thought about it and felt it made sense. He reached out and held Li Ying's hand. "Then you go by yourself. Be careful. I'll take you to the Lu family's gate and stand guard outside. If there's any emergency, run outside immediately."
Li Ying withdrew her hand and smiled, "It's not as serious as you think."
"That's hard to say. Sometimes people will do anything when they're desperate. Besides, if the Lu family really wanted someone to die, it would be a piece of cake."
"Yes, so you don't need to worry at all. The Lu family won't let anything happen to me."
Even though Jing Chi was very worried, he could only obediently escort Li Ying to the gate of the Lu family's house.
After Li Ying went inside, Jing Chi waited outside the gate.
The gate opened, and an aunt led Li Ying into the yard, heading straight to the living room.
Grandpa Lu was sitting on the sofa, talking to Lu Ningyun.
Lu Ningyun looked much better than before, and her spirits were much higher. She did not become depressed because of losing her child.
Upon seeing Li Ying, Lu Ningyun stood up, walked over, took Li Ying's hand, and said softly, "Sister Yingying is here. I haven't seen you in so long. I was thinking of visiting you, but my health wouldn't allow it. I didn't expect you to come. It's like my wish came true."
Li Ying patted Lu Ningyun's hand. This girl has been too well protected, which is why she doesn't know the wickedness of people and has been deceived both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, he has the warm love of his family; otherwise, he might have felt like he was living a life worse than death.
"Li Ying, you must have something to discuss with the Lu family." Old Master Lu had a keen eye and immediately guessed Li Ying's purpose.
"Master Lu, I have indeed come here to ask for your help."
"you say."
Li Ying gave a brief explanation, and Old Master Lu was furious upon hearing it. He immediately called Lu Yufei and asked her to bring the man named Yan Biao over.
Less than half an hour later, Lu Yufei returned, looking travel-worn, without bringing Yan Biao with him.
"Where is he? I told you to bring that person here, didn't you hear me?" Old Lu questioned.
Lu Yufei calmly explained, "Grandpa, the Yan Biao you mentioned is just a junior employee in our factory. I asked the factory manager to call him, but the manager said he took leave and hasn't come to work for several days."
That's strange.
Why ask for leave now of all times? It seems like it was planned in advance.
"Taking leave? That means you have something to hide. Tell me, did anyone ask him to cause trouble at Li Ying's clinic?"
Lu Yufei heard about Li Ying's situation, but he never expected it would eventually come back to the Lu family.
"Grandpa, the Lu family motto is: never cause trouble, never fabricate stories. We will always remember this motto and would never do such a thing," Lu Yufei declared firmly.
"It seems the key lies with this man named Yan Biao. Miss Lu, could you come with me to find Yan Biao's family? Perhaps we can find a breakthrough through them."
Lu Yufei readily agreed: "Okay."
Upon leaving the courtyard and seeing Jing Chi's car, Lu Yufei smiled coldly: "Li Ying, you can ask around about the Lu family's character in Shanghai. Young Master Jing's actions are both a sign of doubt and disrespect for the Lu family."
Li Ying smiled awkwardly: "Miss Lu has misunderstood."
"Let's go, it's more appropriate for us to take Young Master Jing's car."
Jing Chi had already gotten out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two people walking over.
"Young Master Jing, you don't mind if Comrade Li Ying and I ride in your car together, do you?"
Jing Chi smiled faintly: "Please get in the car."
Lu Yufei opened the car door and got in without any hesitation.
Li Ying also got into the car and sat down.
Jing Chi drove the car around and left the Lu family's house.
They first went to the factory to find the workshop director and learned about Yan Biao's family situation. Then the three of them set off and headed straight for Yan Biao's home.
It only takes an hour or two to travel from the city to the countryside.
The fields in the countryside were full of farmers working in the fields. When we asked about Yan Biao's home, it was already noon.
The car stopped at the entrance of a village, and followed a villager who knew Yan Biao into a dilapidated courtyard.
Inside the house, there were sounds of children making noise, a woman scolding, and a baby crying.
As the three were about to enter the courtyard, two or three children ran out of the house, followed by an older child who was chasing after them with a stick in his hand.
There are many children at this place.
