Chapter 13: The Truth Emerges

It was the ear - piercings!

Although the "Su Xianyu" who appeared in the early morning wasn't wearing earrings, it was obvious that she had her ears pierced.

But after getting along with her for so long, Feng Lin was certain that Xiaoyu had never had her ears pierced.

The person who entered his lounge in the early morning wasn't Xiaoyu!

Clang!

Feng Lin suddenly stood up, and the chair was knocked over to the ground.

"Hey, young man! You really gave me a fright! I..."

Before the security guard in the monitoring room could finish complaining, Feng Lin strode out of the door.

He had to go and apologize to Xiaoyu right away. He shouldn't have doubted her and shouldn't have said such harsh words.

He wondered how sad Xiaoyu must be. Would she be hiding somewhere crying...

[Well, this is awkward... It turns out someone else entered the lounge in the middle of the night.]

[I knew Sister Xiaoyu wouldn't do such a thing! Reward x20.]

[Now the truth is out. Someone else drugged him. I just said it didn't make sense for Su Xianyu to drug him, and I got bashed online. I'm so speechless.]

[I guess we misjudged her. How about I give her a big reward to make up for it? Reward x50.]

[Humph, who knows who the real druggist is? Maybe Su Xianyu was afraid of being exposed and staged this whole thing herself.]

[The one above must be a die - hard fan of Ruan Sisi. You just can't stand to see other girls doing well! You're so annoying...]

While Feng Lin was filled with guilt and worry and anxiously looking for Su Xianyu,

Su Xianyu had already asked for leave from the hospital and was enjoying a sumptuous meal and binge - watching dramas in her 200 - square - meter penthouse.

She picked up a piece of small cake with a fork and chewed merrily.

The sweetness of the cream perfectly blended with the refreshing taste of matcha, washing away the last bit of unhappiness in her heart.

Although she knew that Feng Lin had always been very guarded and had expected that she might be kicked out, at that moment, her heart still tightened.

Feng Lin was a qualified and kind - hearted elder brother. It seemed that during this period, she had been a bit spoiled, and her psychological endurance had weakened.

This wasn't a good thing!

Getting kicked out now was just the wake - up call she needed, and it was also a good chance for her to take a few days off.

With Feng Lin's ability, if he wanted to, he should have already cleared her of the suspicion to some extent.

She couldn't let this grievance go to waste. Once someone made her sad, Su Xianyu always returned the favor double - fold.

If Feng Lin wanted her forgiveness, then let him show his sincerity!

Moreover, after this incident, she was sure that in the future, no matter what happened, Feng Lin and the netizens in the live - stream comments wouldn't easily suspect her.

Sometimes, trust was even more important than love.

This time, she didn't lose out.

---

Sweat dampened Feng Lin's temples as he rushed to the nurse's station downstairs in a hurry.

He looked around but didn't see Su Xianyu's figure.

Just as he was about to step forward and ask, a nurse stopped him.

"Dr. Feng, why are you down on the first floor? Hurry up and get ready. The afternoon surgery is about to start."

"I'll ask Director Li..."

Feng Lin wanted to find someone to replace him in the surgery.

But then, the bright look in Xiaoyu's eyes when she talked about his surgeries and the expectant looks on the faces of the patients' families flashed through his mind.

"What's wrong, Dr. Feng?"

He hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, and forced himself to calm down.

"Nothing. I'll tidy up and go up right away."

"Okay, okay."

Picking up the scalpel, Feng Lin became the single - minded medical madman he used to be.

After finishing the suture with full concentration, he finally left the operating room.

Feng Lin quickly took off his white coat and drove away from the hospital.

The last rays of the setting sun were fading outside the window. By this time, Xiaoyu must have already gotten off work. Where could she be?

Remembering that Xiaoyu had said she wanted to look at decoration materials, Feng Lin turned the car around and headed for the largest decoration city in the city center.

"Hello, sir. What kind of materials are you interested in? Our tiles are..."

"No, thanks."

He scanned the store but didn't see Xiaoyu, so he turned around and walked into the next store.

Just like this, he searched from store to store. By the time all the stores closed for the night, he still hadn't found her.

Feng Lin sat in the car, looking at the dark night sky outside the window, and let out a bitter laugh.

He was really out of his mind. After what happened during the day, how could Xiaoyu still be in the mood to study decoration?

Feng Lin drove around aimlessly and finally ended up downstairs of Su Xianyu's apartment.

Looking at the dim night - light in the window, he let out a sigh of relief.

It was good that Xiaoyu was home safely. It was good that he could still find her...

Feng Lin opened the car door, and his tall and slender figure leaned against the front of the car. He instinctively reached into his pocket for a cigarette.

But after rummaging in his pocket for a long time, he only took out a pink lollipop in the shape of a little rabbit.

That's right. Besides when he was in a bad mood, Feng Lin rarely smoked. The last time Xiaoyu accidentally found out, she replaced all his cigarettes with all kinds of lollipops.

Feng Lin held the stick of the lollipop between his teeth and looked up at the window again. In the end, he didn't go upstairs.

It was really late now. He shouldn't go up and disturb her. He would go and apologize to Xiaoyu at the hospital tomorrow.

Feng Lin stood downstairs with the lollipop in his mouth, paced around for a while, then got in the car and drove away.

The next day, Feng Lin arrived at the hospital early. But even after all the nurses had changed shifts and started work, he still didn't see Xiaoyu.

"Head nurse, why isn't Nurse Su Xianyu at work today?"

"Oh, Dr. Feng. Nurse Su is not feeling well. I saw her looking so pale yesterday, so I told her to go home and rest."

"When will she be back?"

"I'm not sure. It depends on when that girl recovers. She was injured and hospitalized not long ago. Young people should take better care of their health. Do you need Nurse Su for something, Dr. Feng?"

"I... It's nothing. I'll talk to her when she comes back."

Watching Feng Lin's departing back, the head nurse shook her head.

"They seem like a young couple having a fight. But wasn't Feng Lin chasing Sisi not long ago? I'm getting old. I really don't understand these young people nowadays..."

As for Feng Lin, although he knew Su Xianyu's address, when he learned that she wasn't at the hospital, he realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly sought outside help.

"Chen Shui, yesterday..."

Butler Chen was speechless after hearing him.

He was a personal butler, not a love consultant!

Looking at his young master's clueless state, he sighed silently. It seemed that there was still a long way to go.

"Master, since Miss Su has asked for leave, don't rush to go to her place to apologize. You should make full preparations first."

"Right. Come to Yuanya Hospital right away and make a backup of yesterday's surveillance footage."

Feng Lin's tone was cold: "You must find out who that person in the surveillance is. I want to see who has the guts to do this."

"Yes, master. Don't worry."

---

In the past few days, Lin Jiao had been extremely smug.

Although she didn't succeed that day, since then, Su Xianyu had been on leave and hadn't come to work, and Feng Lin had returned to his routine of occasionally staying at the hospital.

Without any interference this time, she was sure to succeed!

Recalling the strange look Feng Lin had given her that day, Lin Jiao hesitated for a moment.

She took off the gorgeous red dress she was wearing and put on a light - pink dress. It didn't quite match her gorgeous features but bore a faint resemblance to the former Ruan Sisi.

Lin Jiao sized herself up in this outfit and confidently walked upstairs.

Knock, knock, knock~

"Feng Lin, open the door. It's me."

Opening the door and seeing the strange - looking woman in front of him, Feng Lin frowned. There was something vaguely familiar about this outfit.

"I'm Lin Jiao, Ruan Sisi's good friend!"

A sharp pain suddenly shot through Feng Lin's head. "Ruan Sisi..."
