An hour later, Lan Mushang and the others returned.
Seeing they were back, Lan Yuxi went downstairs with Nan Xiao to check on Lan Muwei.
Lan Muwei had taken medication and was no longer in as much pain. After a brief chat with Lan Yuxi and Nan Xiao, he urged them to go to the operating room to wait for Hanyi.
Lan Yuxi tucked in the corner of his blanket and left the ward with Nan Xiao.
In the elevator, Nan Xiao held Lan Yuxi's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "I've decided. I won't let Fu Ruixi into the company anymore."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly. "And then?"
"There's no then. Ever since she drugged me yesterday, I don't owe her anything."
"She touched you?"
"No, it was your foresight to give me the medicine. But the thought of her having designs on me makes me feel sick."
"For her to dare do that, someone must be backing her."
Nan Xiao's eyes darkened. "I told my mother. If she continues to make trouble, she'll have to prepare for asset transfer."
Lan Yuxi glanced at him meaningfully. "She won't stop. If Fu Ruixi failed, there's still Li Ruixi, Wang—Ruixi."
Nan Xiao frowned slightly. "She has another candidate?"
"You'll know soon enough. Also, don't expect to get rid of Fu Ruixi. Even if she failed and you rejected her, the old lady will keep her around to annoy me."
"After she recovers for a while, I'll have her get plastic surgery again."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips. If she could get plastic surgery again, that would be for the best, but she had a premonition that An Lanshu would definitely prevent it, and Fu Ruixi would absolutely refuse.
Nan Xiao seemed to read her mind and said in a deep voice, "Before the surgery, I'll arrange for her to go somewhere. She won't be bothering you anymore."
"Where are you planning to send her? Will the old lady agree?"
Nan Xiao led her out of the elevator, holding her hand. "I'll send her away before she finds out."
Lan Yuxi stopped and took out her phone to make a call.
"Did you send the sample I asked you to get for testing?"
"It's been sent. The results will be out in an hour."
"Where is Fu Ruixi now?"
"Still at the hospital."
"Is Liu Meiying there too?"
"Liu Meiying hasn't left since last night."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly. "Is Fu Ruixi seriously injured?"
"Two of her ribs are broken."
Lan Yuxi glanced at Nan Xiao. He had been too heavy-handed.
Nan Xiao looked at her uncomfortably.
Lan Yuxi looked at him. "With broken ribs, she probably can't move for a while... Wait!"
Nan Xiao looked at her suspiciously, not understanding the meaning of her exclamation.
"Hurry to the ward and confirm if Fu Ruixi is still there."
"Yes!"
Lan Yuxi hung up the phone with a frown. "I suspect Fu Ruixi has already run away."
Nan Xiao was slightly stunned. "Why would she run?"
"You'll have to ask her."
Lan Yuxi linked arms with him and walked to the waiting hall.
Zhaozhao and Mumu, seeing their parents return, ran over holding hands.
Mumu tilted his head and asked, "Mommy, when will little brother be able to come out?"
Lan Yuxi checked the time. "Soon. Are you hungry? There's food over there. Haven't you and your brother eaten?"
"We have, we're just worried about little brother."
Lan Yuxi smiled and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, little brother will be fine after a nap."
"Okay."
"Beep... beep..."
Seeing Lan Yuxi's phone ring, Nan Xiao bent down and picked up the two children. "Let Mommy take the call. Daddy will take you over there to wait for Hanyi to come out."
After the three of them left, Lan Yuxi took out her phone and answered.
"Xi Zhu, Fu Ruixi escaped at some point. Liu Meiying is lying in the hospital bed."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly upon hearing the timid voice. "Check the surveillance footage. Also, have someone go to the appraisal center immediately. That appraisal certificate must be obtained as soon as possible."
"Yes." The other party thought he would definitely be scolded, but instead, his master let him off so easily. He hung up the phone with immense shame.
Nan Xiao glanced at her expression and knew she had been right.
He put down the two children and walked over. "She ran away?"
"Yes. The hospital staff were bribed. Last night at the hospital entrance, she walked down herself. If her ribs were broken, she wouldn't have been able to walk on her own... I think someone is helping her. Tricking me isn't easy."
Lan Yuxi pinched her chin and looked up at Nan Xiao.
"I have a premonition that the DNA test results won't be accurate either."
"You had a DNA test done on her?"
"I've always suspected she wasn't the real Fu Ruixi, because she completely lacked the demeanor of a soldier. Before, I only suspected it, but her escape has basically confirmed it."
"Let's wait for the appraisal results," Nan Xiao paused and asked suspiciously, "Where did you get the comparison specimen from?"
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Don't you have archives there? Isn't it easy to get a sample?"
Nan Xiao's eyes twitched. For her to be able to enter such a confidential place so easily, of course it was simple!
As they were talking, the operating room door slowly opened.
Lan Xiao Liu, taking off his sterile cap, walked out.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
"How is Hanyi?"
"Is the surgery over?"
"Did Hanyi suffer?"
"Where's Hanyi? You're out, why isn't he?"
Lan Xiao Liu wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. "The surgery was very successful! I was by Hanyi's side the whole time. Director Hao, fearing you'd be anxious, sent me out first to tell you. Hanyi will be out in about half an hour."
"That's good! That's good!" Qiao Yufan breathed a sigh of relief. "Sixth brother, thank goodness you were there, otherwise Hanyi would have been terrified."
Lan Xiao Liu smiled. "We have to thank Nan Xiao. It was he who suggested it to Director Hao, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter the operating room."
Qiao Yufan looked at Nan Xiao gratefully.
Nan Xiao curved his lips slightly. "Don't be so polite among family, or I won't care about you anymore."
Qiao Yufan nodded, smiling through tears.
Half an hour later, Hanyi was pushed out. Everyone didn't dare to approach too closely. After a quick glance, they let the nurse take him back to the sterile chamber.
The family waited for five or six hours. Seeing that Hanyi was safe and sound, the heavy stone in their chests was finally lifted.
Nan Xiao had called Emperor's Grand Hotel in advance, and the family accompanied Director Hao for lunch at Emperor's Grand Hotel.
During the meal, Director Hao spoke to Lan Haolin and Nan Xiao about the situation of the sick villagers in Daliang Mountain. Lan Yuxi listened for a while until a call came in. She took her phone and went to the private lounge.
"Xi Zhu, the surveillance footage was damaged. It's just been restored. Fu Ruixi left in an ambulance wearing a nurse's uniform with a doctor. Also, the DNA appraisal results..."
