Liang Ruoxu knew that Lin Yi’s mouth was always spewing nonsense, so she didn’t care about such trivial things.

She got into her car after leaving the hospital when her phone rang in her bag.

It was her grandfather calling.

“Are you done with your meeting?”

“I’ve said what I needed to say. I won’t be attending the rest of the meeting,” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said.

!!
“How’s Old Yang doing? What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said he’ll live for another few decades.” Liang Ruoxu recalled what Lin Yi said when he walked out of the operating room, “The doctor also said that Old Mr. Yang would be fine even if he died. He could even burn incense for him.”

“Look at what he’s saying. These people are all around my age. It’s hard to say how long Old Yang will live after the surgery.”

“Grandpa, you’re being too narrow-minded if you say that.”

“What’s wrong? How am I being narrow-minded? Don’t judge me by my age. You really can’t compare to me.”

“You’re already so old, yet you’re still comparing yourself to your granddaughter. How can you be so shameless?”

“I have to remind you that I’m not muddle-headed.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Old Mr. Liang is the pillar of the country. He’s an unparalleled scholar. No one can compare to you,” Liang Ruoxu said with a smile.

“But this time, the one who performed the surgery on Mr. Yang is a young doctor and a friend of mine.”

“A young doctor? Your friend?” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said, “This is too ridiculous. Your friends are all in Yanjing, and not many of them are studying medicine.”

“Couldn’t they be one of my new friends in Zhonghai?”

“How long have you been in Zhonghai? The only person I’ve heard you mention is that kid who is making a photolithography machine. What happened? Did he go to operate on Old Yang?”

“Yes.”

“Yes?”

Although it was just a difference in punctuation, the meaning expressed was vastly different.

“Say that again. Who operated on Old Yang?”

“It was my friend who is building the photolithography machine. He operated on Old Yang.”

“What nonsense are you spouting? A photolithography machine developer was the chief surgeon for Old Yang?”

“It’s true. At that time, the doctors in Huashan Hospital were helpless. Then, he tried his best and succeeded.”

Over the next twenty minutes, Liang Ruoxu recounted the entire incident to her grandfather.

Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather was stunned when he heard it. It was like a fantasy story.

“I know you can’t accept this. In truth, I haven’t accepted it myself yet either.”

“Who is this kid? Where was he raised?”

“Maybe he’s a so-called genius,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“Is this kid good-looking?”

“He’s pretty good-looking.”

“Aiyo, he must be handsome if he can get my precious granddaughter to say these simple words,” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said excitedly.

“He is also proficient in medical skills and microchips. Your grandmother likes such smart and good-looking men.”

“I have already told you many times that I have no plans to get married for the time being. If you continue to talk about this matter, I will hang up.”

“You little girl, you are already so old. Why don’t you consider such serious matters at all? Is work so important to you? Believe it or not, I will transfer you back!” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said.

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be able to become a full-time official in your entire life.”

“Then you’re wrong. Even if you don’t interfere, I’m confident that I will become a full-time official within two years.”

“Two years?” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said, “What, did you find a good opportunity to build your reputation?”

“He added my name to the photolithography project,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“As long as we make some achievements, it’s only natural that I get promoted.”

Liang Ruoxu wanted to show off, but there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

“Grandpa, say something.”

“You little girl,” Liang Ruoxu’s grandpa said.

“Zhonghai is a place with many people and deep waters. I should have sent you to the northwest to train. It’s only been a short while, and you’ve already been set up.”

“Huh? Set up what?”

“A trap that binds you together.”

“I know that. We are in a mutually beneficial relationship.”

“But you have to remember that you are not alone, you still have the entire Liang family behind you,” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said:

“He is someone who dares to use a photolithography machine. He doesn’t care about your little identity at all. The one he wants to bind is not you, but the Liang family behind you.”

“This…”

Liang Ruoxu was silent. “But I didn’t reveal our family background.”

“Is there a need to reveal this? Under such a system, you being able to work in a city like Zhonghai is already enough to show everything,” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather said.

“This person’s insight is extraordinary, and he is also very crafty. If he made the wrong gamble, he wouldn’t lose at all. However, if it was the right gamble, then think about how convenient things would be for him. Without a doubt, he made the right gamble.”

“But I don’t think there’s anything to worry about,” Liang Ruoxu said.

“If he really creates the photolithography machine, the Liang family would also benefit from it. Even if we fail to develop it, we won’t lose it. Why all the worry?”

“Little girl, you are too naive.”

“What did I do wrong?” Liang Ruoxu said unwillingly.

“If things develop as you say, this is indeed a win-win situation. But think about it, in all of Huaxia, how many people can successfully build a business empire? Who doesn’t have dirt on their names? Even so, why is it always peaceful? Isn’t it because there are people protecting them?

“If one day he is targetted, because of your actions today, even if the Liang family tries to hide ourselves, we will be implicated, understand?”

Liang Ruoxu was in the wrong. “This guy is indeed a bit of a thief.”

“Isn’t that good?” Liang Ruoxu’s grandfather smiled and said, “He has great wisdom, much better than that kid Zhao Mo”

“Don’t talk about him,” Liang Ruoxu said. “I still have something to do, so I won’t talk to you for now.”

Liang Ruoxu hung up in a hurry, feeling a deep sense of defeat.

Why didn’t she think of this?

This guy really knew how to trick people.

Liang Ruoxu let out a breath, calmed herself down, and drove away.

Lin Yi eventually got up, changed his clothes, and drove home.

There was no need for him to stay in the hospital with a boss like Li Chuhan looking after him.

There was no need for him to stay at the hospital with his clinical skills.

He walked to the car and found that the vehicles with military license plates had already left.

Only the red-labeled Civic Type-R was left parked there quietly.

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he was surprised to see Li Chuhan walking toward him.

She had taken off her white coat. Li Chuhan’s outfit had a gentle touch to it.

The light yellow silk tulle crop top, paired with the light gray wide-legged pants, gave her the demeanor of a working woman.

What happened next surprised Lin Yi.

He saw Li Chuhan take out her car keys from her bag and start the Civic Type-R beside him!

“Is this car yours?” Lin Yi asked.

“Yeah,” Li Chuhan said with a smile. “I don’t have many hobbies, so I race a few laps every now and then.”

Lin Yi’s mouth twitched. As expected, a maverick like Li Chuhan liked different things from others.

“Are you going home? Are you leaving the patient alone?” Lin Yi asked.

“Director Miao saw that I was too tired, so he told me to go back and rest. He’ll be taking watch tonight.”

Lin Yi smiled, he thought to himself, ‘This old guy is quite sneaky. For a patient, other than the surgery itself, the most important period is the first day of the surgery. If he sends Li Chuhan away, he’ll be able to take some credit.’

However, a person like Li Chuhan, who was indifferent, wouldn’t care about these things.

“Have you eaten dinner tonight? Do you want to come along? I’ll treat you.” Li Chuhan asked.

“Sure. I didn’t manage to fill myself just now.”

“Let’s have dinner together then.”

“Director Li!”

After dinner, just as the two of them were about to leave, they suddenly heard someone talking and realized that it was Duan Peng who ran over.

Beside him was another male colleague. Judging from his attire, he should be from a decent family.

The man’s name was Sun Tianheng. He was the son of the hospital secretary.

“I finally caught up with you,” Duan Peng said breathlessly as he trotted over.

“Director Duan, is there something you need from me?”

“I recently joined a supercar club and there is an event tonight. It just so happens that you’re interested in such things too, so I thought I’d invite you out.”
