As Jiang Linyan questioned, no one spoke up. Jiang Desheng kept his head down, unsure of what to say. This ti, he had truly embarrassed himself.
“Enough questions. You should leave now, Linyan. Take so ti to check on Linfei. She’s been mistreated at the training base. Ou Jinzhi, as her brother-in-law, didn’t favor her. Instead, he sided with an outsider. It’s infuriating!”
Jiang Desheng was furious. Although today’s events were embarrassing, he didn’t regret it. He wanted everyone to know that his daughter wasn’t soone to be bullied.
Although Jiang Desheng didn’t explain clearly, Jiang Linyan understood that this had sothing to do with Jiang Linfei. Jiang Linyan was perceptive. Since Jiang Desheng didn’t want to discuss it, she didn’t press further. She knew she could ask Jiang Linfei about it later.
“Grandfather, don’t be angry. Let take you ho.” Jiang Linyan walked over to Old Master Jiang and gently massaged his shoulders, trying to calm him.
“You go ahead. The butler is waiting for outside. I’ll be ho soon.” Old Master Jiang patted Jiang Linyan’s hand affectionately.
“Alright, I’ll go first. I’ll co ho for dinner tonight.” Jiang Linyan soothed her grandfather with a gentle voice, then stood up, glanced at Jiang Desheng, and left the conference room.
Outside, she saw Qian ng smoking at the corner. She grabbed his arm and started walking him out.
“I thought you’d go straight into the conference room. Why did you change your mind halfway?” Jiang Linyan joked as she walked.
“With your grandfather in there, how could I dare? Anyway, what’s going on? Who is Tan Xingyue?”
Qian ng shrugged off Jiang Linyan’s hand, curious about the girl who had caused such a commotion.
“I’m not sure exactly. She’s likely a student from Beijing University. Uncle Ling said she’s a friend of Xu’er, and my dad said it’s related to Linfei. So, she’s probably a classmate of Linfei’s.”
“But why are you so involved if you don’t know her? You seed pretty anxious earlier!”
Jiang Linyan’s fox-like eyes studied Qian ng as if trying to uncover so secret.
“A friend asked for help. Don’t worry; I’ll keep my promise about the Independent State. I’ll find a way to help you. Where are you headed? I can give you a ride.”
Though Qian ng hadn’t managed to take Tan Xingyue out, he still had to rember Jiang Linyan’s favor and fulfill his promise to her.
“Just rember that. I’m heading to the training base, so you shouldn’t co along. You can go back.”
Seeing Qian ng’s reluctance to explain, Jiang Linyan didn’t press him. She waved him off, watching him drive away.
After leaving Tianlang, Ling Yichen took Tan Xingyue directly to Nan Xu’s hospital.
Nan Xu, just out of surgery, saw Ling Yichen carrying the unconscious Tan Xingyue inside. She hurried over.
“What happened to her? Follow !” Nan Xu led Ling Yichen into an examination room, directing him to place Tan Xingyue on the bed and began examining her.
“What’s wrong with her?” Nan Xu asked as she examined Tan Xingyue, sensing sothing was off.
“I’m not sure. Liang Luoyu called, saying Tan Xingyue was taken and asked to get her from Tianlang.”
“I didn’t ask for details. I just rushed in and got her out. I know Tan Xingyue is close to Wen Xin. I couldn’t let anything happen to her. If anything did, the capital would be in chaos.” Ling Yichen explained with a helpless smile. He had heard of Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin’s formidable reputations and knew better than to cross them.
“I’ll take Tan Xingyue for a thorough checkup. It’s likely a psychological issue, nothing serious.” Nan Xu called a nurse to take Tan Xingyue for tests.
“If you’re busy, go ahead. I’ll take care of Xingyue.”
Nan Xu, noting her attire, didn’t hug Ling Yichen. He bent down and kissed her on the lips.
“I’ll co back after finishing up. I need to explain the ss I caused to my old man. I’ll be off.”
“Alright, go ahead.” Nan Xu smiled warmly, watching him leave.
After Ling Yichen left, Nan Xu took out her phone and called Wen Xin. After getting a voicemail, she called Wen Xin on WeChat, which connected.
“What’s up?” Wen Xin’s voice was tense. She was worried about Tan Xingyue, having heard nothing from Moore or Wen Huai.
“Xingyue’s here. She’s likely fine physically, just unconscious. It seems psychological. By the way, Ling Yichen brought her back.”
Hearing Ling Yichen’s na, Wen Xin wasn’t surprised. Liang Luoyu had ntioned he might help.
“Good. I won’t be on a plane for another eight hours. Keep an eye on Xingyue. If anything cos up, call on WeChat.”
Knowing Tan Xingyue was at Nan Xu’s hospital eased Wen Xin’s worries. She gave a few more instructions before hanging up.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin intensely. She noticed his gaze and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Feeling uncomfortable from sitting too long?”
“No, I’m worried about you. Since Yuan Junye went missing, you haven’t rested properly. You’ve been searching for and now worrying about Tan Xingyue. How can I not worry?” Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s cold hand, his brows furrowed. Her hands were cold again.
“Why are your hands so cold? Haven’t you been taking your dicine?”
“I didn’t bring it, but it’s fine. I’m used to it. I’m more worried about you sitting on the plane for too long.”
