We entered together with Bai Juan Zhang Baofeng. Liu Ru Yan didn’t expect that only two people were observed; it’s indeed possible that it was that person’s doing. Only he has that capability.
So, is our company still in a normal state? What about Wang Yang? Lan Ruo Yi seemed unable to believe this news, yet there was still a hint of hope.
Do you know Wang Yang? Mo Daowan asked with confusion, as logically speaking, the two shouldn’t know Wang Yang.
Well, I’ve seen him. Never mind, it’s fine. When can we be discharged? Liu Ru Yan felt that this matter could only be resolved by the two of them, so she wanted to leave the hospital now.
Oh dear, Xiao Yan, why do you want to leave again? Is something wrong with me? Bu Qing’s voice suddenly came from outside.
Liu Ru Yan truly didn’t know how to express her feelings. Isn’t a hospital supposed to be uncomfortable? Even if Lan Ruo Yi didn’t understand Liu Ru Yan’s feelings, she knew that “comfortable” was not a word used to describe a hospital.
Ah, the hospital isn’t comfortable? Bu Qing was surprised that the hospital wasn’t comfortable; what did they want then?
It’s pointless talking to you. When can we leave? Lan Ruo Yi had nothing to say to the person in front of her and knew there was indeed no conversation to be had.
People and animals don’t communicate well. For example, this ox before her. With little time spent at home, it was no wonder they found the hospital comfortable; at least it was better than going out for support.
You have one more week. During this week, I’ll be observing your physical data, so stay with me! Bu Qing’s words were ambiguous and somewhat provocative, but her gaze was fixed on Mo Daowan.
Mo Daowan’s expression darkened again; every time he saw this person, it infuriated him. He hadn’t felt this way before.
Um, thank you. Liu Ru Yan faced Bu Qing with indifference, lacking any previous warmth.
Mo Daowan was happy, while Bu Qing was not.
"Xiao Yan, why are you acting like your old self again?"
His words were merely a test for Liu Ru Yan, but to his surprise, Liu Ru Yan was gazing into Bu Qing's eyes.
"I haven't changed."
Having learned the time of their impending departure, the two of them cooperated well in the remaining time.
Just before they were about to be discharged, Lan Ruo Yi rushed in from outside.
Liu Ru Yan was engrossed in her phone when she was suddenly knocked off balance by the unexpected arrival.
"Yi Yi! You almost crushed me!"
Lan Ruo Yi quickly got up, though her face still bore a look of confusion.
"What’s wrong with you?" Liu Ru Yan waved her hand in front of Lan Ruo Yi's eyes, only to have her hand caught.
"I think I saw Li Meng."
Lan Ruo Yi spoke in a daze, uncertain if what she had seen was real.
Liu Ru Yan's gaze fixed on Lan Ruo Yi as she pulled her down to sit.
"Tell me everything."
Lan Ruo Yi hurriedly sat down and recounted what she had just witnessed.
"I went downstairs to find Bu Qing and ask about our situation. I heard Bu Qing talking to someone, and the voice sounded so familiar that I peeked through the door."
"Guess who I saw?"
Lan Ruo Yi's eyes sparkled with anticipation, while Liu Ru Yan felt a lump in her throat, unsure if she should play along with her enthusiasm; it seemed too obvious.
"Li Meng?" Liu Ru Yan finally relented; there was no helping it—she just indulged her friend like that.
"Right! I’m telling you it was Li Meng! Why has she suddenly appeared again?"
Liu Ru Yan hadn’t expected Li Meng to show up at this time either.
It was still in Bu Qing's office; it seemed her investigation had indeed been accurate.
After that day, Bu Qing had maintained a normal doctor-patient relationship with Liu Ru Yan but still carried an air of resentment.
Now it appeared that he must have been pretending.
"Let’s not worry about that for now. Since Li Meng has shown up, the company should be too preoccupied to deal with her."
And indeed, as Liu Ru Yan had said, after this incident passed...
Dong Li had to leave her job due to a family emergency. She returned home to take care of matters, with Jiang Nan's permission. Perhaps she understood her fate; this time, she was back home solely to care for others. She had no thoughts of her own, nor dared to entertain any, especially after witnessing the outcomes for Liu Ru Yan and the others. She never expected Jiang Nan to be so ruthless.
As they connected with Cold Weapon, Dong Li acknowledged, "You're right." The two fell into silence, content to sit quietly together until a knock at the door broke the stillness.
They exchanged glances at the sound coming from the entrance.
"Come in," they called.
Li Meng entered, looking radiant as she closed the door behind her. Liu Ru Yan immediately became alert.
"There's no need to be so cautious," Li Meng smiled. "I'm doing well now."
"See? I wasn't wrong about what I said before," she continued.
Li Meng was indeed correct; one should not trust anyone. But neither of them had really trusted anyone, had they?
Lan Ruo Yi narrowed her eyes. "We didn't trust anyone, did we?"
"You did!" Li Meng's statement was definitive, causing both women to pause, especially Liu Ru Yan.
"Are you talking about Zhang Baofeng and the others?" Liu Ru Yan recalled their encounter at the alleyway almost instantly.
Li Meng nodded. Lan Ruo Yi looked puzzled. "Did we really trust them?"
"Of course you did! Otherwise, how would you have ended up there instead of at Hyatt Hotel?"
