Ou Mucen glanced at the time and saw that it was still early, so he nodded, "It’s alright, being late doesn’t matter. By the way, what have you been up to these past days? Why are your eyes so red?"
Ji Chengzhi smiled, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just found a random excuse to brush it off...
His guess was indeed not wrong. There was something wrong with his chromosomes. All he needed to do next was to compare his blood sample with that child’s using a different test targeted at that particular gene to get the real results.
But this, he couldn’t tell him before the results were out, otherwise, if there were any unexpected twists, he really couldn’t handle it a second time.
After giving a few more instructions, he went back to the laboratory, while Ou Mucen waited in the hospital room to be discharged.
He waited until almost three o’clock when the hospital finally quieted down. Then he took the discharge form and started calling the person who had promised to pick him up the day before on his mobile phone.
"Beep... beep beep..."
The phone rang for about ten seconds, but there was no answer.
He put down his phone and glanced at the number, confirming he hadn’t dialled incorrectly. Then he tried calling a second time.
However, what infuriated him was that even on the second call there was still no answer. Instead, at the door of the hospital room, upon hearing he could be discharged, suddenly several people appeared.
"Son, I heard you can be discharged? That’s great. Mom has come specially to pick you up! And your dad, too!"
Unexpectedly, it was his mother who came in, along with the old man he hadn’t spoken to since the Longfeng incident the day before the last.
Ou Mucen, although disgruntled with his mother, couldn’t show it upon seeing the old man. So he got up from the chair, "Dad, what brings you here?"
The old man suddenly glared, "What? You didn’t want me to come pick you up?"
"No, I just feel that at your age, you shouldn’t have to bother with these matters."
"Humph! You are my son, what’s wrong with me coming to pick you up? Is there anyone who dares to object?" The old man’s temper was still as explosive as ever, but after the Longfeng incident, everyone present could feel that he seemed much older.
Ou Mucen, seeing this, finally stopped talking and left the hospital room for the servants to tidy up, then left with the two elders.
Ou Mucen actually knew that his mother had brought the old man over this time to take him to Blue Mountain Villa. He had said before that when he was discharged, he didn’t want to go there and would rather go back to his own apartment.
So today, the only way for them to take him back was to bring the old man here.
On the way down from the inpatient department, before even leaving the building, Ou Mucen saw in the lobby a Rolls-Royce parked conspicuously.
"Son, look, your dad has specially driven his car here to pick you up. You should now realize how much your dad loves you," Bai Tingfang clung to her son’s arm. Noticing his sullen face since coming downstairs, she quickly tried to appease him.
Ou Mucen didn’t really want to entertain her. As they were about to exit, he took out his phone, intending to send out a message, when someone hurried past him, "Finally got a lead. The duty nurse on the ninth floor said that a nurse uniform went missing this morning."
