Lou Xi came out of the small villa, her face showing undisguised loss and frustration.

After all, if it weren’t for those things, she could legitimately be with Qin Mobai, and Qin Mobai wouldn’t have to undergo treatment in a private hospital because of these issues.

What kind of situation is this!

Ed was waiting outside, seeing that Lou Xi’s expression wasn’t too good, he asked, "Is Mr. Qin’s condition not well?"

After Lou Xi got in the car, she shook her head, "He’s recovering well. I think, in a little while, he’ll be completely fine."

Lou Xi was reassured about Qin Mobai’s recovery. As long as he woke up, he would surely get better soon.

But the current difficulty was that she couldn’t be with him all the time, which gave her an uncertain sense of crisis.

"That’s good." Ed drove the car away from the hospital, "Young Master Ji asked me to tell you, he has to leave for a few days due to an emergency. If there’s any trouble here, you can let me know. Also, the National Land Bureau agreed to meet you one more time. As long as you can provide evidence proving there are no artifacts underground, which are just rumors, the deal will be signed!"

Lou Xi noted Ed’s words carefully, went over them in her mind, and then discovered something unexpected.

"Did Ji Nanming leave first?" Lou Xi asked.

"Yes, Young Master Ji had some business; he didn’t specify, and I didn’t ask. His private phone is probably on, you can call his private number if you need him."

Lou Xi agreed, but she muttered to herself, she didn’t know Ji Nanming’s private number, not even the company’s number...

She realized she knew very little about Ji Nanming, apart from him being Shen Youran and Ji Mushen’s adopted son.

But she had an indescribable trust in him, possibly because he was with Shen Youran’s side, subconsciously thinking he was a good person.

Moreover, after coming to the Capital, Ji Nanming helped with many things. His sudden departure left her feeling a bit out of place.

"Okay, I understand, I’ll contact him if I need to." Despite saying she’d reach out, she didn’t ask Ed for Ji Nanming’s phone number.

That’s how the adult world is, what they say and what they do are always two different things.

...

Hospital, Qin Mobai and Fu Sinian’s video call with Lu Li.

"How’s your recovery?" Wasn’t Fu Sinian concerned about Qin Mobai’s health? Only when he was well, could Fu Sinian tell Qin Moxi the truth, "When can you be discharged?"

Qin Mobai looked at the worried expressions on Fu Sinian and Lu Li’s faces, grateful to still have such faithful and loyal brothers.

"Not so well." Qin Mobai slightly shook his head, different from what he told Lou Xi, because he didn’t want Lou Xi to worry.

He was awake, but hadn’t recovered quickly, his bodily functions damaged, requiring a long time of recuperation.

"When I went to Qing City earlier, the workers’ strike was deliberately incited to provoke public sentiment. This person might be Xi Siwei." Qin Mobai shared what he found in Qing City with Fu Sinian and Lu Li.

"Did Xi Siwei want to kill you to silence you after discovering you knew the truth about the strike?" Lu Li speculated.

"Are you stupid?" Fu Sinian snapped at Lu Li, "Xi Siwei wouldn’t kill Mo Bai over a strike!"

"Oh, he wants the Qin Family, killing three birds with one stone." Lu Li responded.
