Top Leader of Liushi

"Auntie, I actually really hate trouble. Regarding the matter of me saving your son, I hope you can suppress the news on the hospital's end," Qin Ning said.

Lin Lan nodded earnestly. "Auntie understands."

Mature, steady, and unfathomable.

This was the impression Lin Lan got from Qin Ning at this moment.

She could not understand how a young man in his twenties could be so mature, and how his every action and movement carried an aura that only someone in a high position of power would possess.

Having struggled and fought her way through the business world for so many years, Lin Lan had seen far too many upper-class figures.

Yet, there had never been a single one quite like Qin Ning.

Most importantly, this completely contradicted the information she had investigated before coming here.

Including exactly what methods Qin Ning used to save her son.

No matter how hard she thought about it, Lin Lan simply could not figure these things out.

However, she was tactful enough not to ask a single question.

Her subconscious told her that Qin Ning was definitely hiding an astonishing secret.

"Brother, I'm back."

From outside the door came Qin Fei's voice.

Then, she walked in carrying some groceries.

When she saw Lin Lan sitting on the sofa, Qin Fei was visibly stunned for a moment. "This is..."

Her first reaction was that the other party looked somewhat familiar, but she could not recall exactly where she had seen her before.

After all, when Lin Lan had provided aid to the orphanage back then, Qin Fei was only seven or eight years old, so it was naturally impossible for her to remember much.

"Are you Xiao Fei?"

Lin Lan went up to greet her, her face full of smiles.

She was very fond of Qin Fei. When she saw her at the orphanage as a child, she felt this kid was extremely cute and lively. She never expected that now that she had grown up, she would be so graceful and elegant, far surpassing the beloved daughters of those so-called major families in Liu City.

"I am Aunt Lin, do you still remember?"

"Aunt Lin?"

Hearing this address, Qin Fei was puzzled at first, but then she realized, a look of surprise appearing in her eyes. "It's Aunt Lin! The Aunt Lin who accompanied me to eat cake on my birthday when I was little!"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's me." Lin Lan also fell into reminiscence for a moment.

Qin Fei's eyes immediately turned red.

She had a deep impression of Lin Lan. That was her first birthday spent in the orphanage. Having Aunt Lin by her side allowed Qin Fei to experience the feeling of a mother's love for the first time.

"Silly child, what are you crying for? You should be happy."

Seeing her shed tears, Lin Lan's eyes also turned red. Her heart was full of tender affection, knowing that this little girl had gone through too much hardship over the years.

Back then, she had the thought of adopting Qin Fei as her goddaughter, but it was delayed due to her career. By the time she went to the orphanage again, she learned that Qin Fei and her brother Qin Ning had already left.

After exchanging warm greetings and catching up, the two of them went to the kitchen together to get busy.

Soon, a table full of delicious dishes was laid out.

The three of them gathered around the dining table, and Qin Fei continuously served food to Qin Ning and Lin Lan.

She ate this meal very happily.

Her brother had woken up, and she had seen Aunt Lin again. It was just like a family reuniting.

It was not until the sky had completely darkened that Lin Lan stood up to say goodbye. "Xiao Fei, Xiao Ning, Auntie will head back for today. Tomorrow, after Ping'an is discharged from the hospital, I will bring him over to meet you."

Regarding the matter of Zhou Ping'an, Lin Lan had already chatted about it with Qin Fei during dinner just now.

However, Qin Fei only knew that Zhou Ping'an seemed to be hospitalized. She did not know exactly what had happened, and when she asked, Lin Lan seemed to be deliberately hiding it.

"Okay, Auntie, there's no rush. If Brother Ping'an is still feeling unwell, just let him stay in the hospital for a few more days," Qin Fei said.

Lin Lan just smiled, gave a sound of agreement, and finally left.

In fact, during the day, she had accompanied Zhou Ping'an for a check-up at the hospital and found that all of his body's indicators were surprisingly good. The various major and minor ailments he previously had all disappeared for some unknown reason.

This situation even made the doctors briefly wonder if there was something wrong with the hospital's equipment.

But Lin Lan knew that it must be because of Qin Ning that this was the case.

After leaving Qin Ning and his sister, Lin Lan went to the hospital again. She had intended to visit her son Zhou Ping'an, but found that someone had come to the ward.

"Zhou De!"

Lin Lan, who had originally been in a fairly good mood, immediately had her expression drop.

This was a middle-aged man, her ex-husband, and also Zhou Ping'an's biological father.

The name Zhou De was quite resounding in Liu City; very few people did not know it, as he was the top official in the city.

However, very few people knew that he and Lin Lan of the Lanmeng Group were once married. Only some top-tier upper-class figures knew the inside story.

"You are not welcome here, get out!"

Lin Lan said with a dark face.

Seeing her like this, Zhou De sighed helplessly, and said as if carrying some resentment, "Such a huge thing happened to our son, why didn't you notify me immediately?"

"What's the use of notifying you? Are you a doctor? Can you save people?" Lin Lan snorted coldly.

"But I am his father, I have the right to know. If Ping'an really hadn't woken up in the hospital today, what would we have done?" Zhou De also said somewhat angrily.

"Heh..."

Lin Lan laughed coldly and stopped talking.

"Dad, Mom, could you two argue a little less, for the sake of me still lying in a hospital bed," Zhou Ping'an on the side said helplessly.

Ever since he could remember, every time his parents met, there was never a time they didn't argue.

"Ping'an, how are you feeling? Is there anywhere that still feels uncomfortable? Do you want me to call the doctor to examine your body again?" Lin Lan asked with concern.

"No need, Mom, I'm perfectly fine. I actually feel that my body is much stronger than before. By the way, did you find the person who saved me during the day?"

Zhou Ping'an asked. "I heard from the doctor that I was already declared clinically dead at the time, but I was forcefully pulled back from the gates of hell by someone."

Zhou De narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lin Lan, and also asked, "Can you explain the details of what happened during the day?"

"Why should I tell you?" Lin Lan snapped grumpily.

"You should understand that even if you don't say it, I can still find out," Zhou De said softly, not wanting to bicker with her.

Hearing this, Lin Lan fell slightly silent. Naturally, she did not doubt what Zhou De said.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke about the matters concerning Qin Ning.

Upon learning that the other party was actually a child Lin Lan had helped at the orphanage, both Zhou De and his son were extremely surprised, clearly not expecting fate to be so wonderful.

"To even be able to save someone who was clinically dead, with him having such methods, I wonder if this Qin Ning would also have a solution for the situation of that person in the capital..."

Zhou De spoke in a low voice.

Hearing this, the nearby Lin Lan could not help but have her eyelids twitch.

She had clearly heard some news as well. "Are you talking about the higher-up, Elder Zeng..."

"Yes."

Zhou De nodded, "The situation is already extremely critical. Lately, the capital has been continuously dispatching personnel to visit various provinces and cities, searching for medical experts across all fields. As it happens, I have a comrade-in-arms who came down from the capital and just arrived in Liu City today."
