“I haven’t visited him. Yunshen found a doctor for the old man. You should go see him now. I hope there’s nothing dire.”
The reason Chen Yunlu had urged Huo Jingtang to go inside was to stop Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi from talking too much in private to the family elder.
“Oh, okay, Big Auntie. I will go see Grandpa then,” Huo Jingtang said politely, then made his way towards the Moxiang residence.
As Chen Yunlu watched Huo Jingtang turn his back to her to go, the suspicions in her mind grew stronger. She shouted at him almost absentmindedly, “Hey, Jingtang!”
Huo Jingtang stopped and asked, “What’s wrong, Big Auntie?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to ask... were you at the art center last night?”
“No, I was at the office last night.” Huo Jingtang felt his heart lurch as that question had co suddenly from her. He stayed calm and asked again, “Why do you ask, Big Auntie?”
“Oh, just asking. I thought I saw soone who looked like you last night. Maybe I was mistaken.”
Chen Yunlu smiled and waved her hand at him. “All right, you should go see your grandfather now! I’m leaving.”
Chen Yunlu walked away. The usually calm and reserved Huo Jingtang felt as if soone was clutching tightly onto his heart. At this mont, his heart was inexplicably filled with feelings of horror.
What did Chen Yunlu an by asking those questions just now?
She asked him whether he had been to the art center?
And she even said that the person she saw last night looks like him?
Could it be...
Huo Jingtang beca very worried and called up his assistant. After the call ended, his face darkened.
His assistant had already investigated. After Xue Yating got into a car accident, soone had found her and sent her to the hospital, saving her life.
He had also found out that the witness and the reporter was the sa person and had the surna Chen.
Combining this information and with what Chen Yunlu had said to him just now, it was not difficult to guess what she ant.
Huo Jingtang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, an icy chill in his narrowed eyes.
He thought that everything was done according to plan perfectly. How would he know that there was a third person at the scene?
How much had Chen Yunlu seen?
How much did she know?
Would she spill sothing to the police?
At the Moxiang residence, Xu Xiyan pushed Huo Yunshen towards the door to leave. They saw Huo Jingtang standing still outside, deep in thought.
Huo Yunshen took the initiative to greet him, “Big Brother?”
Huo Jingtang recovered from his thoughts and withdrew the icy murderous look from his face. He smiled lightly, “I just heard from Big Auntie that you’ve found a doctor for Grandpa?”
“Yeah. I’ve asked Jing Xi to take a look at Grandpa,” Huo Yunshen said simply.
“Oh? Miss Jing Xi knows dicine?” Huo Jingtang was surprised, then realized that Xu Xiyan was wearing a doctor’s white coat.
Xu Xiyan said with a smile, “Vice President Huo, please do not laugh at . I’m just an amateur who knows little about Chinese dicine, and at most a barefoot doctor.”
Huo Yunshen understood that Xu Xiyan didn’t want to show off in front of outsiders and so she had not explained too much.
Huo Jingtang was not familiar with Xu Xiyan’s true background, but to be able to be invited ho by Huo Yunshen to treat his grandfather, it showed that she at least had so accomplishnts in dical practice.
But this was not what he was concerned about. What he was concerned about was... “Miss Jing Xi, you’re being modest. Could you tell how my grandfather’s condition is now?”
Professor Qin, a western doctor, said that the old man doesn’t have much ti left. Now, what would a traditional Chinese doctor say?
Xu Xiyan pretended to be hesitant and said, “Let’s go sowhere else and talk.”
