Chapter 1812: Chapter 139: Southern Tall Trees

Qin Shaonan didn’t say anything else and drove quietly all the way.

At the hospital, after entering the ward, Qiao Qiao placed the items the elderly lady had asked for at the bedside.

The elderly lady looked and asked, "Did they decide when the surgery will be?"

Qiao Qiao replied, "I haven’t discussed it with Dr. Lu yet; I’ll talk to him later."

Qin Shaonan stood by and listened; everything was as Qiao Qiao had said.

He quietly waited for Huo Bei’s call.

Half an hour later, Huo Bei’s call came through.

Seeing that it was Huo Bei, Qin Shaonan took his phone and left the ward, heading to the balcony in the living room.

Huo Bei said, "I’ve checked. There’s indeed only one electronic eye in that area, which shows that Qiao Qiao returned there last night, by bus."

Qin Shaonan lowly repeated, "By bus?" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Huo Bei, "Yes, and I managed to get the bus recordings. Qiao Qiao indeed got on the bus near the hotel."

Qin Shaonan, "Hmm."

Huo Bei, "Qiao Qiao probably didn’t lie, but I’m not sure about Lu Bo. We need to investigate further."

Qin Shaonan, "I’ve known Lu Bo for many years; his character should be trustworthy."

Huo Bei murmured, "I’ll check it out again."

Qin Shaonan didn’t make a sound, hung up, and stood there with a cold glint in his eyes.

If it really is Lu Bo, why?

If not Lu Bo, then why Qiao Qiao?

Smoke swirled around his bronzed hand, rising in loops. He looked into the distance, thinking of Qin Shaoling, only coming to his senses after a while. He called the elderly lady, "Qiao Qiao has been found."

The elderly lady asked, "Is she... is she okay?"

Qin Shaonan, "She’s fine, very good. What about Qin Shaoling?"

The elderly lady sighed, "Still receiving treatment, sigh..."

Thinking if Qin Mobai knew, there would undoubtedly be another uproar.

But at this time, she swallowed back some words.

Qin Shaonan, "Got it."

He hung up and called Lu Bo, "Have you returned to the hospital?"

Lu Bo, "Not yet."

Qin Shaonan, "Come over to the hospital and confirm the surgery time."

Lu Bo listened, his whole body stunned, not reacting for a long time, "Wha... what do you mean?"

Qin Shaonan, "She’s fine. She has already signed with the donor’s family."

Lu Bo, "Then what happened yesterday?"

Qin Shaonan didn’t say much, "Just come to the hospital first."

Lu Bo drove directly to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he didn’t return to the office but went straight to the ward area.

Seeing Qiao Qiao standing there, smiling radiantly, he couldn’t help asking, "Qiao Qiao, why didn’t you come out yesterday?"

Qiao Qiao turned to look at Lu Bo, "I came out quickly; I didn’t see you."

Lu Bo, "..."

He had been waiting outside all along and hadn’t seen Qiao Qiao come out at all!

Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Bo’s reaction, also finding it strange.

The two of them looked at each other, both frowning.

Qin Shaonan stood by and watched silently without speaking.

After a while, Lu Bo asked Qiao Qiao, "What time did you come out?"

Qiao Qiao picked up her phone and glanced at it, "I called my grandma after I came out."

She checked her call log and reported the time.

Lu Bo listened; it was half an hour after she went in. However, at that time, he had been sitting in the car, watching the entrance.

Things were getting a bit bizarre!

Lu Bo stared at Qiao Qiao, "I called you several times; didn’t you receive them?"

Qiao Qiao looked at Lu Bo, "You called me?"

Lu Bo, "..."

When he called, he received a message that the call couldn’t be connected.

Things were getting too eerie, beyond his understanding.
