Chapter 949 Mutual Suspicion

“Jian’an, don’t move!”

Su Jian’an was familiar with such an order.

This was what Lu Boyan usually said in their sexual life.

Su Jian’an sat up in a daze and looked at Lu Boyan, asking, “What are you doing?”

Lu Boyan showed the medicine in his hand and answered, “It can help ease the lactic acid accumulation in your muscle.”

As a forensic doctor, Su Jian’an knew lactic acid accumulation well.

In short, if a person who hadn’t exercised for a long time suddenly does energetic exercise, the lactic acid in the muscle tissue would accumulate, which would make his limbs sore.

Su Jian’an had prepared herself to suffer the soreness. Could Lu Boyan’s medicine help her?

Though noticing Su Jian’an was doubting, Lu Boyan did not explain and just said, “When you wake up tomorrow, you will know if it works or not.”

Su Jian’an agreed doubtfully and did not say anything more.

After applying the medicine for Su Jian’an, Lu Boyan washed his hands and came out of the bathroom. He looked at Su Jian’an for a moment and said, “You look disappointed.”

Su Jian’an was speechless.

Lu Boyan asked, “What did you think I was doing when you woke up?”

“I…” Su Jian’an wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.

Lu Boyan smiled meaningfully. “I see.”

Su Jian’an blushed. “Sleep!”

She got into bed and quickly closed her eyes, pretending that she was asleep.

Lu Boyan did not expose Su Jian’an. He lay down, held her in his arms and fell asleep in peace.

At Eighth People’s Hospital.

Doctor Liu was on night duty tonight.

After a busy night, Doctor Liu asked all the medical staff who was on night duty with her to have breakfast together the next morning.

A close doctor asked, “Doctor Liu, did you go for travel on your half-month vacation?”

“Yes,” Doctor Liu found an excuse, “I was too tired at work recently and wanted to take a break. What’s wrong? Did something strange happen when I was not at work?”

Doctors from several departments denied it, but a nurse from the surgical department looked a little hesitant.

Doctor Liu knew the nurse and asked directly, “Xiaomo, what’s wrong with your department?”

Xiaomo stirred the soybean milk in the cup with a straw, answering, “Doctor Liu, did Xiao Yunyun from the cardiac surgery department come back to find you at noon yesterday?”

Xiao Yunyun did come to the hospital yesterday. She was obviously testing Doctor Liu in the name of consulting. Doctor Liu could not make sure whether she was on Xu Youning’s side or Kang Ruicheng’s side.

Worrying about Kang Ruicheng’s watching, Doctor Liu didn’t dare to ask Xu Youning directly in case that she accidentally leaked something.

Now that Xiaomo from the surgical department suddenly mentioned Xiao Yunyun, Doctor Liu had an intuition that something was wrong. She responded, “She has something to ask me. What’s wrong?”

“Here is the thing,” Xiaomo said, “a few days ago, a man named Dongzi and a child named Mumu brought two seriously injured old women to our hospital in succession.”

Doctor Liu knew Dongzi and Mumu. One was Kang Ruicheng’s subordinate, and the other was Kang Ruicheng’s son.

She also heard of the two old women and knew that they were the hostages kidnapped by Kang Ruicheng.

Doctor Liu hurriedly asked, “What does it have to do with Xiao Yunyun?”

“After the two old people were sent here, the child asked me to contact Dr. Xiao,” answered Xiaomo.

Kang Ruicheng’s son wanted to contact Xiao Yunyun. Doctor Liu couldn’t help wondering if Xiao Yunyun was working for Kang Ruicheng.

But on second thought, she felt something was wrong.

So she kept asking, “And then?”

“Then I called Dr. Xiao and the two old ladies were picked up by someone else,” Xiaomo answered with adoration, “the first lady, Mrs. Zhou, was taken away by Mr. Mu. He was so handsome!”

Xu Youning left a man’s contact information. She said it was the father of her child.

The man’s surname was also Mu. He seemed to be trusted by Xu Youning.

After Xiaomo contacted Xiao Yunyun, the people Xu Youning trusted came to take Kang Ruicheng’s hostage away.

So, was Xiao Yunyun working for Kang Ruicheng or Xu Youning?

After breakfast, Doctor Liu gave Xiaomo a ride on the way home. Wittingly or unwittingly, she mention the handsome Mr. Mu along the way and tactfully asked if Mr. Mu and Mrs. Zhou had mentioned a person named Xu Youning.

Xiaomo tried hard to recall it and said in an uncertain tone, “Maybe, or maybe not. It’s been a while, and I can’t remember everything clearly except for the handsome guy.”

After sending Xiaomo back home, Doctor Liu stopped the car and started to brainstorm every possibility.

She thought that maybe Mumu preferred Xu Youning and Xiao Yunyun was on Xu Youning’s side. Therefore, Mumu contacted Xiao Yunyun so that Mr. Mu came to pick up Mrs. Zhou in time.

Although this guess was very likely to be true, she had no solid evidence.

She still needed to prove it.

Feeling upset, Doctor Liu dialed her niece’s number. “Luo, are you available for dinner tonight?”

“I think so,” Ye Luo’s voice sounded tired, “I stayed up all night doing experiments yesterday and will go back to rest at noon. As long as our patient is fine, I should be able to meet you.”

Ye Luo was Doctor Liu’s niece. She grew up in City G and later studied abroad. She had planned to settle down in a foreign country, but she suddenly returned some time ago and joined a top medical team to study a rare genetic disease.

She should keep the information of the patient completely confidential.

She only told Doctor Liu that she worked at the private hospital owned by Lu Enterprises. The person who had the rare genetic disease had a special status.

Doctor Liu smiled. The one who could live in Lu Enterprises’ private hospital and was treated by numerous top medical experts couldn’t be an ordinary person.

“Auntie,” Ye Luo asked, “why did you invite me to dinner?”

“You live by yourself in City A and don’t have a boyfriend. Your father has asked me to take care of you. I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I want to know how you have been recently.”

Doctor Liu hid her real purpose perfectly.

She just thought that maybe she could find out who Xiao Yunyun was working for from Ye Luo since Ye Luo was working at Lu Enterprises’ private hospital and Xiao Yunyun was the cousin of the wife of Lu Enterprises’ president.

Before she figured out everything, she had to keep it a secret. At least she could not involve Ye Luo in this mess.

Doctor Liu saved the number left by Xu Youning and flushed the note down the toilet.

When Lu Boyan’s subordinate sneaked into Doctor Liu’s office, he found nothing. The surveillance camera in the hospital did not record Xu Youning going to the hospital for medical treatment at all.

If they couldn’t confirm whether the contact information on the note was Mu Sijue’s or not, they couldn’t make sure who Doctor Liu worked for.

Lu Boyan ordered his assistant, “Check Doctor Liu’s social relations.”

Since they found nothing after sneaking into the office, they had no choice but to find another way out.

Doctor Liu’s social relations were very simple. The result soon came out and there were many coincidences.

Doctor Liu also had a niece named Ye Luo who was also a doctor.

Ye Luo was now working at the private hospital. She was one of the members of Shen Yuechuan’s medical team, mainly responsible for testing and analysis.

Maybe they could confirm Doctor Liu’s identity from Ye Luo.

If there was something wrong with Doctor Liu, Ye Luo could also be kicked out of Shen Yuechuan’s medical team.

When Lu Boyan was thinking about where to start, the assistant stuttered, “Boss Lu, there is more gossip…”

Lu Boyan frowned and asked, “Gossip?”

“Well, Ye Luo and Dr. Song Jiqing… know each other,” the assistant said, “if we want to acquaint with Ye Luo, we can start with Dr. Song. Anyway, Dr. Song is one of us.”

In the evening, Lu Boyan told Su Jian’an all this information.

Su Jian’an was stunned. “What a coincidence. But according to your assistant, Dr. Song and Ye Luo are more than knowing each other, aren’t they?”

Lu Boyan said, “Let someone talk with Song Jiqing and we’ll know everything.”

“Right.”

Su Jian’an put the cooked soup into two thermos bottles, and then picked them up, saying, “Let’s go to the hospital now. Find out the truth!”

When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Boyan went to Henry first to ask about Shen Yuechuan’s examination results yesterday.

Henry responded, “The results have come out. All indexes are very good. He can accept the last treatment.”

“When is the treatment?” Lu Boyan asked.

“The morning of the day after tomorrow,” Henry answered, “if Yuechuan’s current physical condition is good, we should do the treatment as soon as possible. After all… we don’t know if he will get worse.”

Lu Boyan did not speak, but his expression became serious, which revealed his emotion.

“Mr. Lu, don’t worry,” Henry said, “although we can’t guarantee the result, we promise we’ll do our best.”

Lu Boyan took Su Jian’an to Tang Yulan’s ward and by the way, asked Shen Yuechuan to come downstairs for dinner.

After the meal, Su Jian’an mentioned that Song Jiqing and Ye Luo knew each other and told Xiao Yunyun that Ye Luo was Doctor Liu’s niece.

Xiao Yunyun was so stunned that she stopped eating her steamed bun. She blinked her eyes and said, “What a coincidence? I told you the relationship between Dr. Song and Ye Luo is not simple. He used to help her in secret. But Ye Luo doesn’t know he is here. What’s a pity.”

Su Jian’an said, “We’re not sure whether Doctor Liu is helping Youning or Kang Ruicheng now. But we can start with Ye Luo.”

Xiao Yunyun nodded in agreement.

“We are not familiar with Ye Luo,” Su Jian’an said, “but you’re familiar with Dr. Song. So you’ll be the best person to get close to Ye Luo from Dr. Song. I’ll leave this task to you.”

Xiao Yunyun suddenly had a strong sense of vocation. “No problem!” She said.

“There is a problem.” Shen Yuechuan patted Xiao Yunyun, “Don’t go to Song Jiqing.” He remembered very clearly that Xiao Yunyun was obsessed with Song Jiqing, so he wouldn’t let her get in touch with Song Jiqing.

“Easy. I just go to find out about the affair between Dr. Song and Ye Luo,” Xiao Yunyun gave Shen Yuechuan a reassuring look, “I won’t fall in love with someone else so soon.”

In other words, she would in the future?

Shen Yuechuan gnashed his teeth even though he knew that Xiao Yunyun was joking. “You wicked girl,” said he.

Seeing a “war” was about to break out, Su Jian’an hurriedly interrupted them, saying, “Yunyun, Doctor Liu’s matter is not urgent yet. Let’s talk about it later after Yuechuan finishes the last treatment.”

“Okay.” Xiao Yunyun smiled mischievously. “Anyway, Dr. Song is there. He can’t run away!”

Shen Yuechuan really felt that he should be the one to find out the relationship between Song Jiqing and Ye Luo.

He was much smarter than Xiao Yunyun. He could easily get Song Jiqing and Ye Luo together and by the way, stop Xiao Yunyun from being obsessed with Song Jiqing.

However, considering his current physical condition, he was not allowed to meddle in others’ affairs.
