Xiang Yang had a high fever and would tremble from time to time because of the pain. Many of her wounds were inflamed; the water that was poured on the wounds after her whipping was unclean, causing her to have multiple infections. Yun Nan clenched her fists tightly when she thought about the torture Xiang Yang had suffered, while Shi Xiu wiped her tears at the side.

Yun Nan said to Fang Xi, “Fang Xi, you and Shi Xiu stay here and care for Xiang

Yang. I have to go and see how Big Brother is doing.”

Fang Xi nodded. “Don’t worry. Leave things here to us. Go do what you have to do. ”

In the elevator, Yun Nan leaned against the wall tiredly and gently closed her eyes. ‘Big Brother Shi IVs second surgery has been completed, and he should be waking up soon. I’ll tell him about Xiang Yang later ifhis condition seems fine.’

Her thoughts turned to Shi Nian. ‘ There’s suddenly no news from Shi Nian’s side. I don’t know what the progress is over there or whether Shi Nian is safe or not.’ Yun Nan was scared to think about what could’ve happened to Shi Nian that would result in his loss of contact.

‘ With Chen Nian and Chang Yuan’s help, we stabilized the situation over at the Shi Corporation and discovered a mysterious mastermind from abroad. This mastermind has already deeply infiltrated the various aristocratic and high-society families and conglomerates. This mysterious adversary has a hand almost everywhere, and we don’t know where to begin dealing with them for now.’

‘On Yun Innovations’ side, Shi Xiu’s documentary has been well received. We have to keep at it; there’s a lot offollow-up work to do. Everythings a chaotic mess,’ Yun Nan inwardly sighed.

*Ding* The elevator door opened, and Yun Nan subconsciously opened her eyes. She saw a young man walk in with one hand in his pocket who smiled when he noticed Yun Nan looking at him. The man was very good-looking; he wasn’t handsome—as in attractive in a masculine way—but was rather androgynously attractive, and there was a hint of ingratiation in his smile.

Yun Nan nodded politely and averted her gaze. When the elevator stopped once more, she’d reached the floor Shi Ke was on and walked out, paying no mind to the pair of eyes glued to her from behind.

Shi Ke had already woken up. The doctors and nurses had just come and done various examinations on him. He was taking out the special equipment to contact his men when he saw Yun Nan, so he nodded and signaled her to help him keep watch.

Yun Nan understood and turned around to go outside and check their surroundings. She saw that the man who’d taken the elevator with her was also on this floor and was standing at the door of a ward talking to a nurse.

Their eyes met across the distance, and the man’s lips curled into a smile. Yun Nan looked away and softly asked the nurse at the nurse’s station to help her get the medication list. A moment later, the man came over and politely said to the nurse, “Miss, did my grandfather lose his temper again? I’m really sorry about that.”

As he spoke, two tall men in suits walked over with four large fruit baskets and, under the young nurses’ and Yun Nan’s gazes, placed the fruit baskets at the nurse’s station. They then bobbed their heads at the young man, stood straight, and greeted him, “Young Master!”

The young man told the nurses, “These are a small token of my appreciation. My grandfather is cranky in his old age; please bear with him. I really appreciate it.”

Amidst the nurses’ thanks, the man returned to the ward with two tall men— his bodyguards, apparently. When the nurse at the side saw that Yun Nan was also staring at the man’s back, she kindly introduced him. “That Mr. Lan Long’s grandfather came in yesterday with a heart attack. We nearly lost him.”

Yun Nan was stunned. “He threw a tantrum just after having surgery?”

The nurse chuckled, “There’s a lady by the old man’s side. I’m told that she understands the old man’s feelings the best, and her words represent the old man’s intentions. The old man enjoys seeing her scold and lambast the people around them into silence. Young Master Lan, however, has a good temper and is gentle and considerate toward everyone.”

Yun Nan didn’t care about that new patient and his family but found the young nurse’s lovestruck behavior funny—she could nearly see hearts in the nurse’s eyes when she talked about that Mr. Lan. The nurses happily split the fruits in the fruit baskets and even gave Yun Nan a guava.

Yun Nan’s phone vibrated; it was a call from Chen Nian. She picked up the call while she walked, tossing and catching the guava in one hand. Lan Long ran into her as he walked out of the ward and smiled like a child being praised when his gaze fell on the guava in her hand. Yun Nan then remembered that the fruit was bought by him, and she’d actually become a beneficiary for nothing, so she smiled back at him.

Meanwhile, Chen Nian said through the phone by her ear, “Someone paid a large sum of money to bail out a few people at the police station, including Shi Gao.”

Yun Nan’s smile instantly disappeared. “Keep a close eye on those who got bailed out, and investigate the police and lawyers who were involved in the bail process! We can’t let go of any one of them! Also, there’s definitely something wrong with ‘A Vision ofEternity.’ Go and discuss the bar’s acquisition in Shi Xiu’s name and inform Shi Xiu about the important aspects. She’ll have to learn these sooner or later.”

“Yes, ma’am!” Chen Nian replied..
