The next day, Gu Zhiqi woke up a bit late.

Because she slept late the night before, it was already nine o’clock when she woke up.

The first thing she did upon waking was to check her phone, only to find several missed calls from Fu Xiyan.

He also sent a message on WeChat.

Gu Zhiqi opened it to take a look.

[Brother Yan: Xiao Qi, sorry, the treatment might have to be postponed]

[Brother Yan: Something urgent came up at home, we need to return to Xia Country to handle it]

Seeing this, Gu Zhiqi replied that it was okay.

She initially considered whether to tell Fu Xiyan about Fu Wangchan’s situation, suggesting he find someone to care for him at the hospital, but now it seemed best not to mention it.

After all, Fu Wangchan was already okay, telling Fu Xiyan would only make him worry.

Thinking thus, Gu Zhiqi decided not to inform Fu Xiyan about Fu Wangchan and got up to wash.

When she went downstairs, she found both Su Yunling and Tang Yichen in the living room.

They were discussing something and didn’t immediately notice Gu Zhiqi coming down.

"Just got word that last night there was a chase near Heavenly Domain Pavilion, and the one being chased seemed to be Fu Lao Er."

"But beyond that, there’s nothing, neither about the chaser nor the one being chased."

"I’m a bit worried whether something might have really happened to Fu Lao Er."

"If something really did happen, how would we tell Brother Yan?"

Tang Yichen expressed his concerns to Su Yunling.

Su Yunling didn’t respond, eyes slightly lowered, seemingly lost in thought.

Tang Yichen’s words were clear to Gu Zhiqi, and noticing his worried expression, she spoke, "Fu Lao Er is?"

Gu Zhiqi’s voice made Tang Yichen and Su Yunling aware of her presence, prompting them to turn and look at her.

"Hey? Gu Xiaoxi, you’re up?"

Gu Zhiqi nodded towards Tang Yichen, then sat beside Su Yunling, intending to ask her earlier question again when Su Yunling spoke first.

"Old Fu had an urgent matter come up and returned to the country. He said the treatment will be postponed a bit."

Unable to reach Gu Zhiqi’s phone and worried she might miss the message, Fu Xiyan also called Su Yunling.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi nodded, "Got it."

Tang Yichen, seemingly realizing something, looked at Gu Zhiqi and suddenly asked, "Gu Xiaoxi, you seem to have a good relationship with that Jiu, right?"

Gu Zhiqi didn’t respond, instead turning to look at Tang Yichen, "Why?"

"We’re looking for someone, but the surveillance was destroyed, and our guys haven’t restored it yet, so I wanted to ask if Jiu could help?" Tang Yichen said, eagerly looking at Gu Zhiqi.

Hearing this, Gu Zhiqi nodded.

Recalling Tang Yichen’s earlier words, Gu Zhiqi glanced at him and asked, "The person you’re looking for is?"

Responding immediately, Tang Yichen pulled out a photo and handed it to Gu Zhiqi.

Gu Zhiqi took a look at the photo and confirmed the person was indeed Fu Wangchan.

Returning the photo to Tang Yichen, she said to him, "I know where this person is."

Gu Zhiqi’s statement drew the attention of both Tang Yichen and Su Yunling towards her.

Gu Zhiqi glanced at Su Yunling and said, "Last night’s surgery was for him."

Su Yunling remained silent. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

What a coincidence indeed.

"Surgery? Was he injured? Did it succeed? Is he still alive?" As soon as Tang Yichen heard Gu Zhiqi mention surgery for Fu Wangchan, he fired off a series of questions.

Gu Zhiqi answered two of them, "It was successful, he’s still alive."

Upon hearing Gu Zhiqi’s answer, Tang Yichen released a small sigh of relief, "It’s good that he’s still alive."
