âGrandpaâ¦â He wanted to know more about the Old Masterâs current situation.
But Tang Wanru urged him, âGive me the medicine first so that I can give it to the doctor. Donât waste any more time.â
Jiang Li took out the medicine and handed it to her.
Tang Wanru revealed a look of joy and was about to leave upon receiving the medicine.
Jiang Li grabbed her. âWhereâs Grandpa?â
Tang Wanru seemed distracted. She glanced at the girl who left the van and grew nervous. She looked at the anxious Jiang Li and casually said, âThe first emergency room.â
Jiang Li let go of her and turned to look at Qiao Nian, planning to go with her to take a look.
At this moment, Qiao Nian had already walked over.
âNian Nian, Old Master is in the first emergency roomâ¦â Jiang Li started.
However, the girl pulled down the brim of her baseball cap and put on her earpiece, seemingly on the phone as she looked over his shoulder.
âHm? Please help me find someone.â
Jiang Li followed her gaze and only saw Tang Wanruâs back. He turned around and said to the girl again, âWhy donât we go over first?â
He was really afraid something would happen to the Old Master.
Unexpectedly, the girl did not seem to be in a hurry. Her black eyelashes lowered and she whispered to the Bluetooth piece, âI understand. Thank you.â
Jiang Li was so anxious that he wanted to go alone.
However, he was also worried about Qiao Nian staying here alone. He suppressed his anxiety and hurriedly said, âNian Nian, letâs go take a lookâ¦â
He did not finish his sentence when Qiao Nian pinched the bridge of her nose, as if she did not know how to tell him something. She paused for a second before looking at him and saying, âGrandpa is fine.â
Jiang Li was stunned.
He was fine? How could he be fine? His mother had clearly said that he had been sent to the hospital with a cerebral hemorrhage. Now, he was being resuscitated in the first emergency roomâ¦
Qiao Nian seemed to know what he was thinking. She put away her phone and suppressed her anger as she coldly said, âShe lied to you.â
Jiang Liâs eyes widened.
Qiao Nianâs voice was low. âShe just wanted the medicine.â
The scam wasnât brilliant.
The only smart thing about it was that Tang Wanru used Jiang Li to get the medicine from her.
Only if Jiang Li told Qiao Nian that the Old Master suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage would she not immediately doubt the authenticity of his words.
Tang Wanru banked on this.
Jiang Li wasnât stupid.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He quickly understood what Qiao Nian meant.
When he connected it with Tang Wanruâs abnormal behavior, his fingers dug into his flesh, his back stiffened, and he couldnât even turn his neck. âShe used Grandpa to lie to me?â
Although Qiao Nian did not want to say this, it was the truth. âI wonât suspect you. I would just take out the medicine immediately.â
Jiang Li felt as if he had been whipped. His heart ached and numbed his senses. After a long time, he squeezed out, âWhat does she want this medicine for?â
âI donât know.â Qiao Nian shook her head. Then, she pulled down the brim of her cap with her cold white hand and said in a deep voice, âBut I guess it has something to do with some people in Continent F.â
She guessed that someone had said something to Tang Wanru.
For example, releasing Jiang Xianrou in exchange for Tang Wanru giving them the medicine.
âContinent F?â Jiang Li did not think that far ahead and was stunned.
Qiao Nian patted his shoulder lightly and said, âIâll investigate what happened. Iâll tell you after I figure it out.â
