Chapter 18
"Mr. Jian, I'm staying here on the orders of General Lian to wait for something to happen. What are you doing here?" The man quickly turned over from the bed, looking at Jian Lu in confusion, and also watching his face changing from gloomy to bright.
"Um, I'm here to see Rong Xi. He's my good friend's younger brother, so it's only natural that I care about him. Um, do you know where he is now?"
Jian Lu was annoyed at being deceived, but also worried that he might have done something wrong that would arouse the other party's suspicion. It would be troublesome if Lian Sixuan became suspicious of him.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Then Mr. Jian, please go back. Mr. Rong has been transferred to another hospital by General Lian, and I don't know exactly where." The other party knew the relationship between Jian Lu and Lian Sixuan and didn't like to create unnecessary trouble, but still did not reveal the news about Rong Xi to him.
"Oh, okay." Jian Lu put his thoughts aside and left with a smile on his face, as if he really cared about his friend's brother. However, once he left the ward, he was too lazy to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
Remembering something, he gently opened the door of the IUC ward and peeked inside. Sure enough, he saw the person inside talking to someone on the phone. Damn it, he must have informed Lian Sixuan. No, he had to prepare early.
"What did you say? Jian Lu went to the ICU? How did he know that Rong Xi had stayed in that hospital before?" Lian Sixuan couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and asked the person on the phone one after another.
After hanging up the phone, Lian Sixuan was still in a trance for a long time. His whole mind was immersed in the fact that Jian Lu went to the ICU to visit Rong Xi. According to the reports from his subordinates, there seemed to be no problem, but he still felt that something was wrong.
Jian Lu's call came as expected, and this time he picked up the call happily.
The man on the phone expressed his love and longing for him as usual, but he didn't want to listen until the man mentioned that he had been to the ICU today.
He then asked, "When did you become so concerned about Rong Xi? And didn't I tell you not to get close to her?"
Jian Lu gasped and his face turned pale, but the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see it, they could only hear his voice suddenly choked with sobs.
"Sixuan, are you doubting me? How could you think of me like that?"
He paused, as if wiping away a tear. "I heard Rong Xi's medical expenses were almost gone, and I was worried you'd stop caring about him because of Rong Huan, so I thought I'd go see him and help pay his medical bills. After all, he's Rong Huan's younger brother, and I've always treated him like my own."
These words immediately dispelled Lian Sixuan's doubts. He had indeed announced to the public that he would cut off Rong Xi's medical expenses and let him fend for himself. So it seemed that there was no problem in putting it this way.
"Okay, don't be angry. I misunderstood you. I'm going to your place tonight. Didn't you always ask me to discuss the details of the wedding with you? I'll come over after I finish my meeting."
Guilt made him start to re-examine his attitude because he had indeed neglected Rong Huan due to his disappearance.
Jian Lu finally burst into laughter, agreed hurriedly, and then hung up the phone with a smile.
Lian Sixuan, sitting in the conference room, was feeling very uneasy.
The meeting was discussing investment projects for the next quarter, but he couldn't concentrate at all.
My heart was beating fast, and I always felt that something was wrong. Jian Lu's words seemed flawless, but there seemed to be a sense of weirdness.
He suddenly stood up from his seat and said to everyone in a deep voice, "Today's meeting ends here." Then he walked away in everyone's astonished eyes.
After leaving the company, he did not call Jian Lu, but drove directly there. He couldn't explain why, but a voice in his heart told him that he had to do this.
He gently pushed the door open and signaled the servant with his eyes not to make a sound. He stepped onto the stairs, and before he approached the room, he heard Jian Lu's voice coming from inside.
His voice was no longer gentle and considerate, but instead laced with arrogance and dominance. He arrogantly shouted at someone, "I don't care. No matter what method you use, you must find Rong Xi's whereabouts for me, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Gently pushing the door open a crack, he saw the man inside with angry eyes, gritting his teeth while holding his cell phone.
