To speed up the process of finding the truth, Lu Che pretended to have fallen for the culprit's trick and went to look for the doctor.
"Doctor Lin, the Madam has calmed down and agreed to take on the treatment you have suggested. So, President Mo has instructed me to come make arrangements with you."
"OK. The tumor needs to be removed as soon as possible, so it is important for us to immediately book her in for an operation," the doctor said in a professional manner. In reality, Lu Che could barely maintain his basic manners, because deep inside, he wanted so badly to strangle the immoral doctor to death.
As a doctor, not only did she not fulfill her duty to save the dying and heal the injured, she completely ignored the lives of others. So, in Lu Che's eyes, she was not worthy of being human.
Lu Che was so tempted to tear off the doctor's mask. But, remembering that the truth had not been found yet, he continued to endure.
"I've looked at my schedule. Is it OK if we do the operation in 3 days time?"
"Yes, that's fine," Lu Che nodded as he smiled. "I'm sure you know how much President Mo cares about the Madam. Her body has always been a high priority to him. So, as a subordinate, I wouldn't dare to delay the treatment."
"Of course."
"But, I would like to ask...how did the Madam's confidential information get leaked? It seems you still have not provided Hai Rui with an answer to this matter. I hope next time we meet, you will be able to give us a satisfactory explanation," Lu Che deliberately suppressed the doctor's arrogance by chasing her for an explanation.
The doctor's expression changed. She never expected, under Lu Che's polite exterior, he could be so aggressive.
"Don't worry, the hospital is currently investigating this matter. Our initial suspicion is that the disgusting paparazzi did something," the doctor smiled.
Lu Che scoffed inside, but did not make a sound as he watched the doctor blatantly lie to his face. However, he had long become accustomed to seeing people like this.
Afterwards, Lu Che left. But, he planted many spies in the hospital. It seemed, it wouldn't take long before the truth would be uncovered.
As soon as Lu Che left, the doctor quickly pulled out her phone and gave a call to an unlisted number, "They've taken the bait and everything is progressing smoothly. But, I need to meet with you. This matter is too risky, I can't handle it on my own."
As a doctor, she wasn't so blinded by money that she couldn't determine the seriousness of the matter.
Using a doctor to injure someone had always been easy to uncover. Especially when the almighty CEO of Hai Rui, Mo Ting, was being offended.
So, the doctor needed to make sure that the person she was working with was sincere.
"How can I meet with you?"
"If you refuse to meet, then go look for someone else. Let's see if others are willing to take the risk over a bit of money."
On the other side of the phone, Tang Xuan was furious. They had already agreed on the terms at the beginning that they weren't going to meet, yet the doctor suddenly changed her mind. However, she couldn't refuse... They were already on the same boat; did she still have the choice to find someone else?
Although she hated being threatened, she still ended up agreeing, "Tomorrow afternoon, let's meet at a cafe near the hospital."
However, she never expected that this one simple move would end up placing her into the palm of Mo Ting's hands, giving him complete control over her life and death.
"What happened?" Mother Zhong asked as she noticed a change in her daughter-in-law's expression.
"The doctor has requested to meet in person and receive cash before agreeing to work with us. She said the risk is too high," Tang Xuan explained to Mother Zhong.
"That's actually quite reasonable. Let's start making preparations then," Mother Zhong nodded. "Also, go get changed into the plainest clothes you own. It's time to go see your grandfather."
"Yes, mom..."
It appeared, some battles were extinguished like a fire, only to erupt again like a volcano.
