"Jiang Mantian." Huo Canghai thought for a mont before recalling this na.
He scrutinized Jiang Heng’s face for a while and sharply remarked, "You don’t look much like your father."
It’s unclear whether Huo Canghai spoke carelessly or intentionally, but Jiang Heng certainly felt stung by Huo Canghai’s words.
However, the other person is Huo Canghai, the head of the noble family that even Jiang Mantian would bend the knee to; Jiang Heng didn’t dare to go against him.
"Lord Captain, do you know my father?" Jiang Heng pretended not to catch the sarcasm in Huo Canghai’s voice.
Huo Canghai continued, "Twenty years ago, because of the Rashomon kidnapping case, we t several tis."
First he said that Jiang Heng doesn’t look like Jiang Mantian, then hinted that he was aware of the Rashomon kidnapping case, making it hard for Jiang Heng not to suspect that Huo Canghai was deliberately targeting him.
Why?
He hadn’t done anything to displease Huo Canghai, had he?
"What were you going to say just now?" Listening to Huo Wen’an’s cries, Huo Canghai’s expression was not good.
Therefore, when he sat in the wheelchair and swept his gaze at Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng felt his legs weaken.
Self-styled as a lion, Jiang Heng felt a rare unease and anxiety in the presence of Huo Canghai, akin to what a young lion might feel in front of an adult lion.
Seeing Jiang Heng lost in thought at such a mont, Huo Wenbei gently reminded him, "Ah Heng, what were you going to say to my grandpa just now?"
Jiang Heng snapped back, and hurriedly spoke to Huo Canghai, "I heard Lord Captain ntion dicine Farr Star on the phone just now."
Upon hearing this, Huo Canghai gave Jiang Heng his full attention.
"Do you know dicine Farr Star?"
Jiang Heng replied, "I once had the fortune of contacting dicine Farr Star to save my wife. Here, I have her email contact." Back then, dicine Farr Star only gave him an email, but the email was virtual, and Jiang Heng had no idea about the person behind it.
Huo Canghai gazed thoughtfully at Jiang Heng for a while before saying, "That’s excellent."
Jiang Heng imdiately provided dicine Farr Star’s contact information to Huo Canghai.
Huo Canghai told his eldest son, Huo Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, help get in touch with dicine Farr Star."
Huo Yunsheng is Huo Wen’an’s biological father.
He continuously watched the operating room while nodding at Huo Canghai’s words, then picking up his phone, promptly ssaged dicine Farr Star’s email.
Jiang Heng comnted beside him, "Lord dicine Farr might be quite busy, not necessarily able to see the ssage promptly."
Yet, just after Huo Yunsheng sent the ssage, dicine Farr Star quickly replied. "Dad, dicine Farr Star has responded to us!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Heng stiffened.
dicine Farr Star replied to Huo Yunsheng so quickly?
Then why, when he had sent nurous ssages about Bai Xuan’s condition to dicine Farr Star’s email, was there never a single reply?
Was dicine Farr Star unwilling to respond to him, or truly too busy?
Realizing that dicine Farr Star might have deliberately ignored him soured Jiang Heng’s mood.
Huo Canghai seized Huo Yunsheng’s phone, scrutinizing the email content, showing dicine Farr Star’s simple response—
[Arriving on the island today.]
She only ntioned arriving today, but didn’t specify the ti.
Huo Canghai personally emailed dicine Farr Star, asking: [Do you know, Lord dicine Farr, what ti you’ll arrive today? It’s urgent on our side, we need your help urgently!]
Inside the operating room, Huo Wen’an’s screams were becoming faint and hoarse.
Huo Canghai feared Huo Wen’an might not last until dicine Farr Star arrived.
Unblinking, Huo Canghai watched his phone and soon received dicine Farr Star’s reply: [Within an hour.]
Huo Canghai swiftly switched off the phone, speaking to the butler in a deep voice, "dicine Farr Star says they’ll arrive within an hour, they must be in the Divine Concealnt Island waters by now. Quick, send soone to et her!"
anwhile, Zheng Lie at the back of the crowd received a call from Zheng Qin.
Zheng Lie took the phone, moved to an isolated spot, and in a low voice asked Zheng Qin, "Why call?"
Zheng Qin inquired, "How’s it going with the Pilot’s condition?"
Everyone in the Huo Family believed Huo Wen’an was close to death, only Huo Wen’an’s confidants understood that he was about to transform and rejuvenate.
Zheng Lie didn’t want others to see any abnormalities, so he deliberately wore a sorrowful expression and spoke heavily, "The Pilot’s condition is worsening, no signs of improvent. Not sure if he can make it through today..."
Zheng Qin was rendered speechless by Zheng Lie’s Oscar-worthy performance.
