The atmosphere became tense in an instant.
Suddenly, Nan Yu’s phone rang, breaking the stiff silence.
She picked it up and realized it was Sun Lu calling her.
A sense of foreboding tightened in her chest.
Nan Yu turned her head to Li Qingjia and said, "Madam, I am going to take a call."
After speaking, she immediately walked out of the banquet hall.
Yu Lan came back to her senses, watched Nan Yu leave the room, and with a turn of her eyes feigned confusion as she asked, "Huo Family Head, are you talking about Dean Li?"
At these words, Li Qingjia came to a realization and said, "Huo Family Head, Chongbai is the head of the Traditional Chinese Hospital, always known as the Divine Doctor; thanks to him, I am now able to sit here."
Yu Lan continued, "Yeah, that night was extremely dangerous, but fortunately, Dean Li was there; now my mother’s health improves day by day."
"Was he the only one there that night?"
Huo Juanyan lifted his cool gaze and laid it on Yu Lan.
Yu Lan glanced at the onlookers and then at Nan Yu, who was still in the courtyard; with determination in her heart, she directly said, "Yes, he was the only one."
Fearing Huo Juanyan wouldn’t believe her, she deliberately lowered her head and spoke to Li Qingjia, "Mother, you were still conscious that night; tell the Huo Family Head, wasn’t it only Dean Li there?"
Li Qingjia met Huo Juanyan’s suspicious gaze, received a reminder from Yu Lan’s eyes, slightly smiled, "Yes, it was only Chongbai."
Huo Juanyan saw the expressions of both women, it was obvious they were lying.
Song Lihan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "Grandmother, it is time; the birthday banquet should begin now."
Li Qingjia nodded, "Alright, let’s start."
Huo Juanyan saw that their whole family was deliberately hiding something; most likely, it was the work of the Ghost Doctor, who intentionally didn’t want people to find him.
He retracted his icy gaze, "I have something else to take care of, I’ll be leaving first."
Song Lihan personally saw him out, "Huo Family Head, thank you for the gift you brought for my grandmother tonight; I will visit you another day to express my thanks."
Seated in the car, Huo Juanyan’s eyes were cold as he said, "No need for that."
Catching a glimpse of Nan Yu in the courtyard, shining like the bright moon, he slowly withdrew his gaze, looking straight ahead.
"Xia Xing, drive."
Xia Xing immediately started the car and drove away from the Song Family.
After they left, Nan Yu also hurried out of the Song Family, her steps swift.
Seeing Song Lihan standing at the entrance, she said directly, "Mr. Song, please tell the old lady I have something urgent; I have to go."
After speaking, the taxi she called arrived, and she quickly got in and left.
Left behind, Song Lihan listened to her words, his eyes narrowing.
What she said was similar to what Huo Juanyan had said.
Fang Han, who had come out looking for someone, saw Song Lihan lighting a cigarette, leaning against the wall, exhaling plumes of smoke.
It seemed as though he noticed her; he slightly tilted his head, his eyes sharp as cold stars, the cigarette in his fingers flickering in the darkness.
"Fang Han, has Song Yingqing been in contact with the family lately?"
Fang Han stood properly in place, honestly answering, "Young master, she still hasn’t had any contact with anyone in the family."
Song Lihan’s gaze turned colder, "Does she know about grandmother’s illness?"
Fang Han lowered her head, "She should know; Miss Nan and she are close friends."
Song Lihan sneered coldly, crushing the cigarette fiercely against the wall, a shadow passing through the depths of his eyes.
"It seems I had underestimated her before; she’s more heartless than I thought, but I don’t believe she won’t come back even on the day grandmother dies."
Meanwhile.
Nan Yu reached the hospital late at night, immediately finding Lawyer Sun.
"Lawyer Sun, calling me to the hospital so late at night, what has happened?"
Sun Lu looked gravely serious.
"Miss Nan, Luo Ji is dead."
