Lan Long stared at Shi Xiu’s clear eyes and asked with affected casualness, “By the way, I heard that your big sister-in-law is in the hospital? Why have I not seen you visit her? My grandfather is also staying in that hospital. Do you want to co with to the hospital for a visit?”

Shi Xiu was montarily startled before her eyes curved into a smile, and she chuckled, “My big sister-in-law isn’t there anymore; she moved out of the hospital a long ti ago. My brother has a villa in the eastern suburbs. The environnt there is very good, suitable for my sister-in-law to recuperate in.”

Lan Long was stunned at the news. “Then, her ward in the hospital…”

Shi Xiu smiled and said, “It’s just a cover-up. My big brother’s identity is sensitive, and our family is too eye-catching, so so things have to be kept secret. My older brother, Shi Nian, was seriously injured a while ago; he’s the one who’s often residing that ward, recuperating. However, we can’t let this news leak out lest it affect the stock market.”

Lan Long’s hands clenched into fists at his side, and his chest roiled. However, he forced a smile on his face and muttered, “I see. So that’s how it is.”

Shi Xiu didn’t notice Lan Long’s change in expression at all. “Why is your grandfather hospitalized?” she asked, tilting her head.

Lan Long exhaled gently and answered, “He has Alzheir’s. He needs people watching over him 24/7. It’s safest for him to stay in the hospital.”

Shi Xiu imdiately stopped smiling. Before she could say anything to comfort him, Lan Long said softly, “There’s this girl I grew up with. My grandfather adores her. She’s the only one he rembers when he has forgotten nearly everything else. He mistook your sister-in-law, Yun Nan, for her and even urged to marry her as soon as possible.”

Lan Long laughed, but Shi Xiu paled.

Mr. Lou ca over and whispered a few words into Lan Long’s ear. Shi Xiu quickly stood up, saying, “Since you’re busy, I think I’d better leave. My mother told to go ho early today as I still have an event tonight.”

Lan Long smiled and also stood up. “Alright, let’s et up again tomorrow.”

The smile on his face was replaced by a dark look as he watched Shi Xiu’s figure leave. “You’re sure about this?” he asked Mr. Lou—standing in attendance at the side—coldly.

Mr. Lou hurriedly nodded. “Yes! Young Master, we’ve verified that Lin Yu disappeared after Madam Xi left the hospital. Madam Xi put the word out that Lin Yu is unwell and will be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. Madam Xi is currently still wheelchair-bound. The Xi family’s servants say her appetite is very good since she returned as she’s having sizable als in her room, and no else is allowed in there other than her trusted butler. From all the signs above, Lin Yu is probably confined in Madam Xi’s living quarters.”

“Hmph!” Lan Long sneered. “Trash! She can’t even beat a half-paralyzed old woman!”

Mr. Lou softly inford him, “The staff in charge of the Xi family during their stay in the hospital have all been changed out and nowhere to be found. From the clues we have, we deduced that the one who saved Madam Xi might be from the Shi family.”

Lan Long pondered and sneered, “There’s no need to deduce anything. Shi Nian took the lead to help her at the board eting, and the woman even handed her projects and business to Yun Nan. The Shi family definitely must have been the ones who helped her! The Shi family, why are they everywhere? It seems we need to get rid of them.”

He recalled Shi Xiu’s words just then and instructed, “Mr. Lou, go check the Shi family’s villa near the eastern suburbs. Shi Xiu said that Shi Ke and Xiang Yang are there. That idiot, Miss Hong, is still watching the hospital when we’ve all been fooled! What trash! What a bunch of trash!”

Mr. Lou paused before blurting out, “Young Master, is this news reliable? Shi Ke’s n are still standing guard at the hospital.”

Lan Long’s expression turned even colder as he told him, “That’s just a front for outsiders. Shi Xiu wouldn’t lie, and it makes sense. They’ve been so strict about keeping everyone away from the hospital ward that, even now, Miss Hong hadn’t been able to get close, because there IS no Xiang Yang in the ward! How shrewd! How devious! Sure enough, Shi Ke isn’t an easy man to deal with! Mr. Lou, go make the arrangents and personally deploy the n yourself. That idiot, Miss Hong, will only be played like a monkey if I let her lead.”

“Yes, sir!” Mr. Lou quickly responded. His mind raced, and he was extrely surprised. He really hadn’t expected Shi Ke and Shi Nian to be so difficult to deal with. No wonder even the military was so wary of them.

Sothing occurred to Lan Long. “Have we gotten in contact with Yun Liu yet?” he asked.

Mr. Lou shook his head lightly with a dark expression.

Lan Long was so angry that he laughed, “She was only brought back to the Yun family, not thrown in jail or sothing, so how is it that we couldn’t get in contact with her? Don’t tell Yun Zhang restricted her personal freedom. Hah. She still owes us sothing! We’ve almost used up all the girls here, right? So, it’s about ti she sends us new ones!”

Mr. Lou said, “That Tan Ning is being kept on a short leash by the Yun family. She must’ve been quite intimidated, too. She doesn’t dare to make a move.”

“That’s not up to her!” Lan Long said. “Tell Chen Tao to go find her with his n. Yun Liu must fulfill what she promised in full. We can’t have her think that we can’t do anything to her. It’s ti to give them a taste of our thods. Go pick out so of Yun Liu’s nude photos and send them to her and Tan Ning. She’s afraid of getting her reputation dragged through the mud, and now that the Yun family has taken her in, it’s sothing they fear, too. They’ll cave to our demands.”

“Yes, sir.” Mr. Lou agreed.
