“The truth is that all his a.s.sumptions are correct,” Qiao Yi lifted his head and turned to Nalan Chunbo. “However, Wen Lan is dead so that leaves us no clue to find the person who impersonated Gu Tianmu that year.”
“It has nothing to do with me,” muttered Nalan Chunbo quietly. He averted his gaze to the operating room again.
Since Nalan Chunbo had already expressed his stand, Qiao Yi didn’t say anything further.
“How did my uncle die?” Nalan Chunbo asked while staring at the operating room door.
Qiao Yi leaned against the wall. He looked up at the ceiling, trying to recall the incident that happened that year. “Mr. Ye was put in captivity by Cheng Jie for so long that his health had deteriorated significantly. He had always planned to settle Mrs Gu’s matter after Cheng Jie’s one ended. However, he never expected that Ye Yuwei would get married to Gu Juexi. I managed to rescue Mr. Ye, and he only changed his plan when he was almost dying.”
Nalan Chunbo dipped his head so n.o.body could see the emotions reflected in his eyes.
Letting Gu Juexi investigate the whole matter was for their own benefit. Mr. Ye had been thinking about other people his whole life, and he finally remembered his daughter so he arranged this show for her.
Hence, Gu Juexi and Ye Yuwei would not have any problems between them.
“Yuwei’s matter is settled now. I still need to search for Mrs. Ye because Mr. Ye wanted me to pa.s.s something to her before he pa.s.sed away. I’ll excuse myself now.” Qiao Yi stood up, smoothed his clothes and left.
Nalan Chunbo let his head hang low. He had listened to every word that Qiao Yi said but never gave any response.
His uncle was dead. His aunt was living in seclusion. He did not even know if his only cousin was alive at the moment. His life seemed bleak and hopeless again.
Nalan Chunbo got up from his seat and glanced at the operating room before he turned and left.
Perhaps he should not stay here any longer.
Nalan Chunbo felt like he was drowning in despair. He could not be bothered by the things going on around him.
“Move, move. Get out of the way!” There was a guy carrying a girl on his back. Another girl was following him and shouting loudly to clear people from their path.
Nalan Chunbo was completely unaware of what was going on around him and ignored the odd scene. They pa.s.sed by each other.
Wen Shan who was busy shouting suddenly stopped running. She turned to look at the distant figure again. ‘Papa Nalan?’ She wondered. She was unsure though, why would her Papa Nalan hang his head low like that?
”Wen Shan, go register at the counter now!” Urged the guy who was carrying the sick girl on his back.
Wen Shan finally came back to Earth. She had to ignore the man who looked like her Papa Nalan. The crucial thing right now was helping her cla.s.smate who had fallen down the stairs register at the patient counter.
There were a lot of people at the counter. Wen Shan waited impatiently until she managed to register at the orthopedic clinic. However when she tried to get her money, she realized that she did not grab her phone and purse before coming to the hospital.
“Registration fee is fifty. Please make your payment quickly. There are still a lot of people queuing behind you,” the nurse on duty behind the counter window said impatiently.
“That’s right, be quick please,” said another man in the queue.
“I forgot to bring my purse and handphone along. Can you let me register first? My friend is still waiting—”
“If you don’t have money, let the next person pay first. There’s no debt payment here,” the nurse cut her off and shooed her away.
Wen Shan took a deep breath as she was feeling anxious. “I just want to register first and bring you the money later. My friend is waiting to see the doctor right now. If something happens to her, will you take responsibility for it? Is your hospital’s aim to save people or just earn money?”
