Han Haoming, after listening, also sent Qin Si Yue a few voice messages, "Okay, thank you, Director Qin. I understand. Sorry to trouble you."
Qin Si Yue smiled and said, "Officer Han, you're welcome. It's just a small matter. I heard from Sister Shen Xi that you and she are friends, and my relationship with her is also very good. So, we're friends from now on. I'll have someone send Li Qiang's CT report to the doctor in the intensive care unit as soon as possible, and I'll also help you inquire about the specific treatment plan there."
Hearing her say so much in one go, Han Haoming didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a while, he replied with a polite remark.
"Okay. Thank you, Director Qin."

Inside the Phantom Bar, Mei Yun, dressed in a flowing ancient-style long dress and with exquisite makeup, was happily drinking with two friends in the main hall.
"A Yun, you're all the same age as us, but why do you look like you haven't changed at all? Both your face and figure are still like when you were a young girl. Come on, tell us, how do you maintain yourself?"
Tao Min scrutinized her from head to toe, her eyes filled with admiration.
Gao Shuhe tugged at Tao Min's arm, "A Min, can't you tell? The reason A Yun hasn't changed all these years is definitely related to her being single. Unlike us, who are always busy with our husbands and children, we've long since become haggard housewives."
Upon hearing this, Mei Yun lightly touched her cheek. "You're right. I'm now living alone, and there's no one to worry about. I have no worries or troubles, I eat what I want, drink what I want, go out and travel when I feel like it, make friends, and maintain a young mindset, living according to my own heart. Isn't that great!"
"Come, A Yun, let's toast. I really admire your straightforward and carefree spirit. You're living the life I wish I could live but can't." Tao Min said with emotion, raising her wine glass to gently clink with Mei Yun's, producing a crisp sound.
"Okay." The two exchanged smiles and took a sip of red wine each.
"A Yun, are you really planning to go on like this alone?" Gao Shuhe asked, gazing at her with concern.
Living like this might be carefree, but it's ultimately lonely. Especially in old age, this sense of loneliness will only grow stronger.
"Of course, I've been through one failed marriage, and I've long since become indifferent to relationships between men and women. What about a happy marriage and blissful love? If you don't meet the right person, those are just a mockery. It's better to live alone in peace."
Mei Yun chuckled and raised her wine glass to the two, finishing the wine in her glass in one gulp.
Tao Min nudged Gao Shuhe and whispered, "Why did you bring up this topic? Aren't you reopening her old wounds?"
"I just got carried away by the conversation and asked out of concern." Gao Shuhe's face flushed, feeling a bit regretful herself.
Picking up the wine bottle, Mei Yun personally poured more red wine for the three of them.
"What are you two whispering about? It's okay, you don't need to mind my feelings. I've already let go of that incident. Come on, let's keep drinking."
"Okay, drink. We'll drink with you tonight until we drop." Tao Min raised her glass to Mei Yun.
The three of them drank another glass of wine together.
"A Yun, how long will you be staying this time after returning to the country?" Gao Shuhe asked.
"That depends on whether you guys have time to accompany me," Mei Yun replied with a smile.
The two said in unison, "Just call us, and we'll be there no matter where we are."
Good friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, and who had finally returned to the country, they would make time to accompany her no matter how busy they were. Who knew when they would meet again?
The three of them drank and chatted. In no time, the two bottles of red wine were finished.
Mei Yun stood up and walked towards the bar, "Wait for me, I'll go pick out another bottle."
Her steps were unsteady as she reached the middle of the hall and bumped into a burly man.
"Damn it, who is it? Are you blind? How dare you bump into me, are you..."
The man had a short temper and started cursing immediately, but when he saw the woman in front of him, his voice stopped abruptly.
A pair of lecherous rat eyes kept roaming over Mei Yun.
Good heavens, from which dynasty did this beauty travel through time?
