Chapter 396 The Expected Figure



Yun Suiwan was slightly taken aback; the person who had arrived was Lin Zhibai.

She instinctively looked behind him, but didn't see the figure she expected.

“Dongjue went to the airport to pick up foreign experts,” Lin Zhibai said. “I just got the news, it scared me to death.”

Yun Suiwan awkwardly looked away, a slight smirk on her lips: "Who said I wanted Lu Dongjue to come?"

"I don't think so, I was just talking nonsense." Lin Zhibai didn't want to argue with her. "Is everything alright, right?"

Yun Suiwan shook her head. "Huo Beichen appeared just in time."

She briefly recounted what had happened at the scene.

Lin Zhibai found it increasingly strange, "How could it be such a coincidence? It's like he planned it all along."

Suddenly, a curtain was pulled open, and a girl glared at Lin Zhibai with a displeased expression: "How can you speak like that without any evidence?"

Lin Zhibai was taken aback, not expecting that someone here would speak up for Huo Beichen.

Upon closer inspection, she wasn't Sheng Nanyin at all.

"Lin Zhibai, don't you recognize me? But I recognize you. My name is Sun Xiaowei." Sun Xiaowei rushed up to him without any politeness. "You're not allowed to talk about Huo Beichen like that. He's our savior."

Lin Zhibai: ...

Where did this naive and innocent girl come from? She gave him a dirty look.

However, seeing that they all seemed to be in good spirits, Lin Zhibai was relieved.

"Let me take you back to rest," he said.

“No need. Go and find out where Gu Fanyan’s mother is.” Yun Suiwan said, reaching out to grab Sun Xiaowei’s wrist. “Come with me.”

Sun Xiaowei pulled her hand away: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Yun Suiwan raised an eyebrow. "You're not thinking of backing out, are you?"

“I don’t intend to back out,” Sun Xiaowei replied. “If you call Huo Beichen here, I’ll go with you.”

"What does this have to do with Huo Beichen?" Yun Suiwan was very confused.

“I said it’s related, so it’s related.” Sun Xiaowei pouted, looking aggrieved. “Without Huo Beichen, I wouldn’t dare to recall what just happened.”

"Anyway, I just want Huo Beichen to be there!" she said to Yun Suiwan in a coquettish tone.

Lin Zhibai was stunned. What was the relationship between this girl and Huo Beichen?

As they were talking, the curtain on the other side was pulled open, and Sheng Nanyin came out.

Yun Suiwan's heart skipped a beat, but Sheng Nanyin remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Yun Suiwan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very familiar with him either, why don't you call him yourself?"

Sun Xiaowei didn't stand on ceremony and took out her phone, handing it to Yun Suiwan. "Here, you dial the number."

As soon as the call connected, Sun Xiaowei smiled and said, "Huo Beichen, it's me, Sun Xiaowei."

"Hello," came the curt reply from the other end.

"Huo Beichen, I'm at the hospital right now, come over quickly!" Sun Xiaowei said. "I'm going to confront Gu Fanyan's mother later, will you come with me?"

"I don't have time." With that, the phone was hung up.

Sun Xiaowei stared at the phone in disbelief, then suddenly burst into tears, "He hung up on me... I've never been hung up on by a man in my entire life!"

She cried harder and harder, "I don't care, I don't care if he doesn't come, I won't go, I want to be hospitalized for a full checkup!"

Yun Suiwan was speechless; what kind of clown had she encountered?

At this moment, Lin Zhibai came over and told her that Gu's mother's location had been confirmed; she was at the hospital where Grandpa Lu was.

Yun Suiwan thought for a moment, then whispered to Sun Xiaowei, "Stop crying!"

"If Huo Beichen goes, you'll go too, right?"

Sun Xiaowei nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face.

"No regrets?" Yun Suiwan demanded.

"I will never go back on my word."

"You wait."

Yun Suiwan went outside to make a phone call, and when she came back, she said to Sun Xiaowei, "Come with me now, and you'll see him in a little while."

Sun Xiaowei frowned: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Yun Suiwan smiled dismissively: "I've already arranged to meet him at the destination. Whether you go or not is your business."

After saying that, she glanced at Sheng Nanyin, then turned and walked out.

Sun Xiaowei, of course, followed him to the hospital eagerly.

Gu's mother and Gu Fanyan were waiting in the hospital corridor when they suddenly saw Yun Suiwan appear unharmed. They were stunned and their faces turned pale.

Lu Dongjue also returned from outside, accompanied by an expert.

"Wanwan!" Without saying a word, he walked up to Yun Suiwan and subconsciously reached out to hug her, but saw Yun Suiwan glare at him with her beautiful eyes.

His outstretched hand hung awkwardly in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, the expert he had just invited greeted Mrs. Gu, "Mrs. Gu, it's been a long time!"

Mrs. Gu composed herself and forced a smile: "Is that Dr. Deng? It's been a long time!"

The two shook hands and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and seemed to have a good relationship.

Yun Suiwan took out the wooden box given to her by the master craftsman and asked Lu Dongjue, "The doctor instructed us to dissolve the pills inside with water and give them to Grandpa Lu to drink."

Lu Dongjue immediately took the wooden box and handed it to his assistant, saying, "Do as Miss Yun says."

"Wait a minute!" Gu's mother suddenly spoke up: "Dongjue, didn't you invite Dr. Deng to treat Grandpa? Why do you trust those quack doctors again?"

"And those pills, have they been certified? Are they safe to take without permission?"

A glint of conspiracy flashed in Gu's mother's eyes.

Clearly, her previous scheme failed to harm Yun Suiwan, and she is likely to be bitten back by Yun Suiwan instead.

Therefore, she had to use the pills to completely defeat Yun Suiwan.

Lu Dongjue ignored her and gestured for his assistant to continue doing as he was told.

Yun Suiwan stopped her assistant, "Since Aunt Gu has doubts, why don't we have Dr. Deng examine the pills?"

Dr. Deng picked up the pill, smelled it under his nose, and smiled slightly. "The pill is indeed made from many precious medicinal herbs, but it is suitable for general health maintenance and not for Grandpa Lu's condition."

As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Modern medicine has developed to the point where it has eliminated a lot of dross, but laymen don't understand the underlying principles, so it's understandable that they treat some things that should be discarded as treasures."

"After all, they wanted to save people, but they didn't realize that ignorance is the biggest killer."

Mrs. Gu nodded repeatedly, "Dr. Deng has profound insights; he truly deserves to be called a professional."

“Dongjue,” she urged, “hurry up and let Dr. Deng examine Grandpa. Don’t let him suffer any more.”

Yun Suiwan had the box brought back, and looked at Dr. Deng with a half-smile: "I understand, Dr. Deng thinks that my pills are useless."

Dr. Deng shook his head, feigning magnanimity: "I made myself very clear just now. Although it cannot save lives, it is perfectly fine as a health supplement."

"After all, who hasn't eaten some useless things in their life?"

After he finished speaking, he and Gu's mother exchanged a smile.

Yun Suiwan smiled and said, "I'll have someone give Grandpa a pill right now. If it works, can Dr. Deng admit he's made a fool of himself?"

Dr. Deng was taken aback: "Slapping yourself in the face?"

“Yes,” Yun Suiwan raised an eyebrow, “it’s about slapping yourself with your own hand.”
