“Li Lan, where are you?” Su Yang sat weakly in the car. His voice was low.

Li Lan’s voice on the other end was quiet, but her breath was uneven. “Where else could I be? Didn’t you ask me to come back? I’m in the hospital now. Are you coming back? I’ll take a taxi to pick you up.”

“You’re in the hospital now? You didn’t go home?” Su Yang held the ear stud in his hand, skeptical. If she was in the hospital, then the person who went to the basement earlier couldn’t have been her. The hospital was 30 kilometers away, and she couldn’t get there in just ten minutes.

“Yeah, I didn’t want to go home. If you come back, I can take care of you.” Li Lan tried to make her voice sound calm, but she was getting anxious. She had parked her motorcycle in an alley when she received Su Yang’s call. If she couldn’t rush back to the hospital, her lie would be exposed.

Su Yang didn’t sense anything unusual, but his intuition told him something was off with Li Lan. To avoid alarming her, he only mentioned that he was returning to the hospital because his wound had reopened and then hung up.

Li Lan felt uneasy; she could sense that Su Yang was suspicious, but she didn’t know where the flaw was. If there was a flaw, it was probably discovered by Song Fan.

She knew how formidable Song Fan was, but the situation caught her off guard. She hadn’t expected Song Fan to uncover the issue so quickly. In her haste, she killed A Li, thinking of continuing to use her. Now, it seemed she had to rely on others.

Although she hadn’t engaged in direct conflict with Song Fan, she was injured. Just a wrist grab, and it almost got broken. Li Lan looked at her bruised wrist, a cold smile on her face. It seemed Song Fan had indeed lived an extraordinary life.

Su Yang’s car was now approaching the hospital, and fortunately, Li Lan’s motorcycle was faster, reaching the hospital first through the shortcuts.

As Su Yang was being wheeled into the ward, Li Lan had just changed her clothes and opened the window for ventilation.

Upon hearing the door opening, she turned around and smiled sweetly, “Open the window for ventilation. You don’t like the smell of air conditioning, right?”

Upon looking at her smile, Su Yang felt a bit dazed. This woman was introduced by his family, but he genuinely liked her. Especially after he was shot, Li Lan took care of him meticulously. Even his parents praised his luck, in finding such a good girl.

He put his hand in his pocket and tightly grasped the ear stud, piercing his finger, finally bringing some clarity to his mind.

He gestured for the bodyguard to leave, and Li Lan quickly approached, sounding a bit reproachful. “I don’t understand what your boss is thinking. You got shot, and he still makes you work. No, it’s your inappropriate lady boss’s fault. Does she think she’s the mistress of the house?”

She crouched down, wanting to undo Su Yang’s shirt to check the wound.

However, Su Yang noticed that she was indeed missing one ear stud.

This pair of diamond ear studs was a gift he bought for her a month into their relationship. Although Li Lan initially refused, Su Yang insisted, and she finally chose the cheapest pair. The diamonds were tiny, and the clarity was not great, but Li Lan was happy for a long time, wearing them every time she met him.

When they were customized, Su Yang had the jeweler engrave a small “L” on the back of one stud. The one in his hand had a small “L” on it.

His voice trembled, but he asked, “Where’s your ear stud?”

Li Lan visibly hesitated. Upon seeing suspicion in Su Yang’s eyes, she panicked inside but maintained a calm expression and reached to touch her ear, “Isn’t the ear stud here? What happened? Why is one missing?”

She stood up in a bit of a panic, searching around while lamenting, “I told you not to buy such expensive ear studs. Losing one is worth thousands! This is the gift you gave me, where could it have fallen? I haven’t been anywhere!”

Upon listening to her teary words and looking at her flustered appearance, Su Yang wavered. But thinking that the ear stud was found in the basement, his heart sank again. If she hadn’t been to the basement, how could her ear stud be there?

While Li Lan pretended to search for the ear stud, she began to strategize. It was clear that Su Yang must have found her ear stud in the basement where Ali was kept. She had indeed overlooked this; she shouldn’t have worn any jewelry on the mission.

Just as she was thinking of a plan, Su Yang coldly said, “It’s with me..”
