Dabai squatted beside a rudintary wooden bookshelf next to the TV, and as soon as he entered the house, with his "Eyes of Golden Fla," he imdiately spotted the legendary set of "Three Kingdoms" comic books ntioned by his father-in-law.
Seeing his daughter’s boyfriend flipping through his comic books as soon as he entered, Mr. Gu recoiled, pointing at the stack of books and stuttering, "This—"
"Dad," Dabai blurted out without a second thought, "Mom said you really enjoy these books, just like ."
Dabai, simple-minded, thought it a good chance to bond with his father-in-law.
Little did he know that Mr. Gu was sensitive about appearances; such an embarrassing fact—that a man of his age still enjoyed comic books—was not sothing to be shared with outsiders. Mr. Gu’s face turned beet red, and he turned around to confront Mrs. Gu.
Mrs. Gu had already hidden herself in the kitchen, setting out the lunch with her daughter while secretly delighted: thinking, finally, there was soone who could handle her husband. The saying that every Jack has his Jill must refer to these two n.

Mingxin Hospital
Tang Sili returned to the hospital. Ou Yanan was waiting in his office to report to him.
Seeing his student, Tang Sili first asked, "Did you get your mother’s situation handled?"
"Thank you, Professor, for your concern. My mother will return to Hong Kong in a couple of days," Yanan said.
Tang Sili nodded.
Yanan asked, "Professor, if you are back, then over there—"
Tang Sili glanced at Yanan, who tried to maintain a calm expression, and said, "My boss and his wife have decided to visit her hotown."
Visit her ho?
Yanan’s eyes flickered.
Tang Sili couldn’t quite discern the expression on his face at that mont.
Yanan said, as if probing like a doctor, "If they go back like this, won’t their family worry?"
Considering one with an arm in a sling and her with a head injury that hadn’t healed so quickly.
This brings us to Tang Sili’s skillful dical technique, covering up injuries effortlessly, as if it were a trivial task.
"There are scars, but I allowed her to go only after I had removed her stitches," explained Tang Sili as he leisurely slipped his hands into his coat pockets, "So, I put so fake hair over her scar to fool most people."
A skillful doctor’s work surely wouldn’t irritate the wound or cause it to beco inflad again.
Ou was indeed surprised that Tang Sili had studied and dealt with such matters, almost as if he specialized in serving the wealthy, typically only the rich had such peculiar demands and the financial ans to et them.
With that said, Tang Sili began to inquire about the recent goings-on in the hospital, asking, "After I left, did anything happen in the hospital?"
Yanan shook his head, "It’s been very quiet, nothing happened."
Yet Tang Sili found this answer incredible, noting, "Chairman Xiao hasn’t awakened?"
Thinking that if Xiao Jianming were to awaken, even briefly, it would have been major news in the hospital.
Yanan quickly grasped the implication in his words, considering he was the first doctor who had treated Xiao Jianming and knew his condition well. According to Tang Sili’s query, it seed that Xiao Jianming should have awakened by now, not still be unconscious.
Seeing his student’s non-responsive expression, Tang Sili understood, understood everything.
But Yanan seed confused, hesitating, "Professor, could it be that—"
Soone made Xiao Jianming intentionally stay unconscious? If so, who could it be?
Tang Sili gestured for his student to remain silent, saying, "We should not intervene in this matter."
Without a directive from his boss, he would definitely not act. He knew the waters were deep, and only his boss truly understood them. On the other hand, acting rashly without his boss’s approval was a risk Tang Sili could not afford to take.
After hearing this, Yanan thought that if Tang Sili could sense sothing was off, then other doctors of Tang Sili’s caliber should also be able to detect it. Of course, Tang Sili’s dical skill was unparalleled. But ultimately, if this was a man-made situation, could the truth be kept under wraps?
One could only wonder how long whoever made Xiao Jianming unconscious intended him to sleep.
As the Chief walked back to his office, he suddenly heard a voice from behind.
"Chief Gao." Approaching him was Xiao family’s second child, Xiao Shulan.
Chief Gao imdiately turned around with a smile, greeting the Xiao family’s second child, "Mrs. Kang, it’s been a while."
"What do you an it’s been a while? Haven’t I been running to the hospital these past few days? The issue with my younger sister’s illness, my father’s situation, I’ve been quite troubleso to you, Chief Gao." After the formal exchange, Shulan asked, "My father still hasn’t awakened; is there a problem?"
