Gu Nuan told him, "There’s a patient who needs your attention, it’s Miss Zhong."

Having heard that an emergency patient was arriving by helicopter, Ou Yanan dared not delay. He touched Lingxin’s little head with his palm, "Try it yourself, using the method I just taught you."

"Okay." Lingxin nodded and asked his mom and uncle, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Both mom and uncle shook their heads. So, Lingxin stayed alone in the room.

Ou Yanan followed Gu Nuan outside and asked, "Do you know what’s wrong with the patient?"

Gu Nuan said, "She might have swallowed a foreign object." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Foreign object?"

"The specifics aren’t clear, but it seems to have been in the stomach for several days. It’s increasingly painful now."

Ou Yanan didn’t know why Zhong Qiaohui swallowed something, but as a doctor, his primary concern was not the importance of the object, but saving lives. Hence he said, "If it’s life-threatening, coming here won’t help. It’s better to go to the hospital. Surgery might be necessary."

Gu Nuan understood his disposition and had to tell him the truth, "That object must not be disclosed externally. Also, it might be tied to Mingli and others’ lives."

From the mention of Er Monkey’s life, Ou Yanan’s brow furrowed tightly. After a moment, he said, "I need to contact the professor, require an anesthetist on standby, need surgical instruments, checking equipment."

"I’ve told Xiaolian about all this; he’ll take care of it," Gu Nuan said, "I’ll call Professor Tang to discuss first."

An hour later, the patient arrived at Gu Nuan’s place. By this time, Zhong Qiaohui was already unconscious; Gu Nuan could only see her pale face, as if she was about to sprout wings and fly away, a truly disturbing sight.

Zhong Qiaohui was sent into a room converted into a treatment room. Only Ou Yanan and Zang Xiaolian as the assistant stayed inside, no one else could enter.

Zhan Dapeng pushed Zhang Sanfeng into the living room. The two of them glanced around inside, confirming they couldn’t see Xiao Yebai nor Wei Changqing who accompanied him.

Seeing them looking around, Gu Nuan guessed who they were looking for and said, "Yebai hasn’t returned yet."

"Really?" Zhan Dapeng uttered softly, not daring to speak loudly.

Gu Nuan narrowed her eyes, feeling they must know something. Her husband didn’t contact her, but it didn’t mean he wasn’t in touch with these brothers. Surely, he needed their assistance.

Zhang Sanfeng gave Zhan Dapeng a look, and Zhan Dapeng quickly moved to the tea table, saying, "Sister-in-law, sit down, I’ll make some tea for you." As he said this, he asked, "Where’s Lingxin?"

"He’s in the room reading," Gu Nuan said.

"I’ll go check on him," Zhan Dapeng put down the teapot, eager to see the other monkey.

Too late for Zhang Sanfeng to stop him, thinking carefully, he also understood that Zhan Dapeng found it more difficult to face Gu Nuan now, compared to facing a child. Children couldn’t quickly figure things out like Gu Nuan.

Actually, they helped Xiao Yebai cut off Gray’s finance funding chain, defeating Robbie. Typically, at this point, Xiao Yebai should have successfully brought Er Monkey home. The fact that he’s still missing indicates that something went wrong in between.

Assuming defeating Robbie was a given, the problem could only be that Er Monkey is no longer in Robbie’s hands. Where did Er Monkey go?

Zhang Sanfeng couldn’t help but feel unsettled just connecting these thoughts, let alone Gu Nuan, Er Monkey’s mom.

Gu Nuan placed the teacup in front of him, saying, "Qiaohui shouldn’t have any major issues."

His face clearly showed how grim it was, needing her to reassure him instead.
