"The information is too scarce, this makes it hard to find!" Lan Yuxi took out her phone and tried to call Lan Muwei, but the voice prompt indicated the recipient was powered off.
Lan Yuxi pouted, "Third Brother is really something! For such a small matter, he could have just told me, but he insisted on finding the person himself."
Lan Mu Shang shook his head, "It's useless to tell you, because he doesn't even know what the person looks like. He said he finds people purely based on feeling."
"No way!" Lan Yuxi helplessly put down her phone, "Then I really can't help him."
Lan Mu Shang furrowed his brows slightly, "Second Brother, did Third Brother mention what year that girl saved him?"
"Four years ago. When the few of us came to China to pick up Xi'er, Third Brother went to Country Y alone on business, and he was gone for over two months. Do you remember?"
Lan Mu Shang nodded, "I even blamed him at the time, saying he was inefficient and took over two months for such a small matter."
Lan Mu Si continued, "He was actually ambushed. His eyes were injured at the time, and he almost went blind. He was afraid of worrying the family, so he kept it from us."
Tang Wan nervously grabbed Zheng Peipei's hand, who was sitting beside her, "Did Third Brother's eyes have any lasting effects?"
"No, luckily, after that girl saved him, she rushed him to the hospital in time." Lan Mu Si glanced at his mother's hand, "Mom, you're pinching Peipei."
Tang Wan apologized with a look of remorse and released her hand, "Peipei, I'm sorry, I was too nervous just now."
Zheng Peipei smiled and held her hand, "Auntie, it's okay, I don't feel any pain."
Lan Mu Si looked at Lan Mu Si with a hint of inquiry before changing the subject, "Why hasn't Fourth Brother returned yet? Zixin wants to eat his cooking."
Nan Xiao rolled up his sleeves and stood up, "Fourth Brother and Qiyue went to look at a restaurant. I'll cook a few dishes for Zixin tonight."
Lan Zixin looked over in surprise, "Uncle can cook?"
"Not only can he cook, but it's also incredibly delicious!" Lan Yuxi said proudly, "I guarantee you'll eat an extra bowl of rice."
"Then I really want to try. I'll help Uncle with the preparations." Lan Zixin stood up with a smile.
Tang Wan quickly said, "My little ancestor, sit down quickly. You've just recovered, you can't be in the kitchen!"
"Mom, I'm not that delicate. I'll just help wash vegetables, I won't do any other work."
Lan Mu Shang pulled her to sit down, "If you want to talk to Nan Xiao, sit here and talk. Nan Xiao, we have a cook at home, so don't bother cooking yourself, let them do it."
Nan Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and sat back down.
Lan Mu Shang gave Lan Yuxi a look, "Xi'er, come here, I need to talk to you."
Lan Yuxi quickly stood up and followed him into the study.
Lan Mu Shang handed her his phone, "Look at this."
Lan Yuxi took the phone and looked at it, then she froze.
"Does the offer of repayment you mentioned four years ago still stand? I urgently need three hundred thousand. If possible, please reply."
"This..."
"I suspect this person is the one your Third Brother is looking for."
"Did you reply to her?"
"No. I received this message three days ago and thought it was a spam text because there was no phone number. I was too lazy to delete it. If I had deleted it, there would be no clue at all."
"There's one thing I don't quite understand. Why did Third Brother leave your phone number?"
"Because our family was unstable at the time. Besides this phone number I'm using now, the others would change numbers wherever they went."
Lan Yuxi nodded in understanding, then quickly typed a string of text on the keyboard.
"I'm sorry, I just saw the message. Give me your account number."
Lan Mu Si peeked over, "Can you give it to her?"
"Let's try." Lan Yuxi pulled over the computer, "Once she sends the account number, I'll be able to find her."
"Let's leave a message for Third Brother first and tell him to stop looking everywhere."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips, "Let's wait until we have something concrete to tell him, to avoid him getting his hopes up for nothing again."
"That's fine too." Lan Mu Shang glanced towards the door and lowered his voice, "Are your Second Brother and that Zheng Peipei serious?"
"They've gone that far. You know your Second Brother well enough, even if he doesn't love her, he'll take responsibility. However, from my observation, his feelings for Zheng Peipei don't seem faked. He might genuinely care for her to some extent."
Lan Mu Shang's eyes darkened, "I'm afraid he might settle for someone for some reason, and that would be a great disservice to him."
Lan Yuxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "What 'some reason'?"
Lan Mu Shang shot her a look, "You know perfectly well!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and said, "What is it? I really don't know."
Lan Mu Shang touched his nose uncomfortably, "Second Brother likes Zixin, but Zixin doesn't seem to like him..."
"My Second Brother is so outstanding. If Zixin Sister doesn't even fancy him, then who else could catch her eye?"
Lan Mu Shang raised his hand and poked her forehead, "Do you have to force me to say it?"
Lan Yuxi pouted, "Then what are your intentions towards Zixin Sister? Zixin Sister is not young anymore, you can't keep her waiting like this, can you?"
"I'm afraid your Second Brother would be hurt, so I haven't dared to be upfront about it."
Lan Yuxi clicked her tongue, "You two are truly noble, always considering your brothers first. Now that my Second Brother has backed out, you should clarify things with Zixin Sister sooner rather than later, don't keep her hanging."
Lan Mu Shang pondered for a moment, "I'll talk to your Second Brother first."
"Ding—" a text message notification sounded from Lan Mu Shang's phone.
Lan Yuxi quickly leaned in, the siblings' heads close together as they stared at the phone screen.
"Thank you. I was really out of options, otherwise I wouldn't have contacted you. I'll repay you when I have the money. Qiao Yufan, 62***********"
Lan Yuxi typed on the computer while looking at the string of numbers.
Lan Mu Shang transferred five hundred thousand to the account provided by Qiao Yufan.
Soon, Qiao Yufan sent another message.
"You transferred too much, I'll transfer it back to you."
"Use it first, we'll discuss it later. May I ask what kind of trouble you're in? If I can, I'd like to help you."
Lan Mu Shang waited for the other party's message, but there was no reply. Instead, the extra two hundred thousand was quickly transferred back.
Lan Mu Shang turned to look at Lan Yuxi.
Lan Yuxi worked diligently for a moment and gave him an "ok" gesture, "She's at the Kyoto Institute of Hematology. It seems she's really in trouble."
Lan Yuxi picked up her phone and dialed, "Eagle, see who's near the Kyoto Institute of Hematology and have him investigate a woman named Qiao Yufan... Wait a minute, she has incurred consumption records. Pediatric Hematology (2), patient's name is Qiao Hanyi."
After Eagle took down the name, Lan Yuxi hung up and looked at Lan Mu Shang, "To make Third Brother believe we're not lying to him, send him the message and the transfer record together."
