After saying good night to Su Xianyu, Feng Lin calmly went upstairs.
He turned around and closed the bedroom door, then took off his wristwatch with one hand and tossed it onto the bedside table.
Clatter—
Cold water trickled out of the showerhead, running down Feng Lin's body and dripping onto the bathroom tiles.
The conversation he'd just had kept replaying in his mind.
"You're done with your business so soon?" "Why did you change your clothes..."
Xiaoyu, who on earth do you mistake me for?
A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart. He suddenly turned off the shower, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and picked up his phone.
"Chen Shui, go and find out in detail where Xiaoyu went and who she met today."
On the other end of the phone, Steward Chen sensed the sinister tone in Feng Lin's words. Without a moment's delay, he sent people to start investigating the matter.
[Wait, what's going on? The private scene of the surgery has always been pixelated. Did I miss something this afternoon?]
[I get it. No wonder Feng Lin didn't answer just now. Could it be that the person Xiaoyu met this afternoon wasn't him?]
[That makes sense. Feng Lin was clearly wearing this white shirt this morning. I thought I remembered it wrong.]
[How could she mistake someone? I'm speechless.]
[Are you new here? Xiaoyu is a bit face - blind. She couldn't even remember Feng Lin at first. It's not surprising that she mistakes someone.]
[Looking at Feng Lin's gloomy face, it feels like the state he's in when he's about to imprison the female lead in the later stage of the plot.]
[Xiaoyu is just his younger sister. It shouldn't be that serious, right...]
"Sir, we've found out the person who had contact with Miss Su."
The man standing by the window didn't turn around. He slightly raised his finger, indicating for the person to continue.
Seeing this, Chen Shui took out the detailed information he'd investigated overnight from his bag.
"It's the only son of the chairman of the Fengxing Group who just returned to the country. His name is Lu Yunshen."
"What?"
Feng Lin suddenly turned around and snatched the investigation result.
He kept flipping through the clearly printed pictures on the paper, carefully scrutinizing the man in them.
At this moment, besides a sense of absurdity, Feng Lin also felt a sense of finality.
Looking at Lu Yunshen's biography, he used to live in Hongqiao District, City A when he was a child, then immigrated abroad with his parents. He just returned to the country last month. Feng Lin was already certain.
It was really him!
The real "Brother Yunshen" in Xiaoyu's mouth.
And the identity that he, Feng Lin, had inadvertently taken over.
What should he do?
Just as Feng Lin was trying hard to figure out how to make Xiaoyu avoid Lu Yunshen forever in the future.
He never expected that it would be himself who would meet Lu Yunshen first.
The next morning, Feng Lin received a call from Director Wang.
"Doctor Feng, the hospital has received a rather rare case. I think it's more appropriate for you to perform the surgery. Preliminary diagnosis shows that the patient's heart problem was caused by an accidental injury..."
Hearing the director's words, Feng Lin became slightly interested.
What he liked most to study were incurable and difficult cases that others couldn't solve. It would bring him a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.
"Send the patient here. I'll take a look myself before deciding on a treatment plan."
"Okay, I'll lead the patient there right away."
Knock, knock, knock—
Feng Lin got up and opened the door. Director Wang appeared in front of him with a smile.
"Doctor Feng, I've brought the patient here."
Saying that, Director Wang stepped aside, and a face that Feng Lin had just seen on the paper not long ago showed up.
Why is it him?
This is just like a ghost that won't leave!
With prejudice in his heart, seeing the somewhat similar facial features of the man opposite him, Feng Lin only thought about how to make him disappear completely.
But Lu Yunshen didn't have the thought of being a "substitute". The moment he saw Feng Lin, he actually felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"Hello, Doctor Feng. I'm Lu Yunshen."
Looking at the outstretched right hand in front of him, Feng Lin ignored it and turned around to sit back on his chair.
"Hehe," Director Wang was used to this and smiled to smooth things over.
"Xiao Lu, don't mind. Our Doctor Feng has a bit of a cleanliness fetish. It's not targeted at you."
"It's okay," Lu Yunshen naturally retracted his hand and said with a smile.
"Everyone has their own habits. I understand."
"That's good. I've already told Doctor Feng about your basic situation. The specific treatment plan will be notified separately after the hospital's consultation. You two can talk first. I have another surgery, so I'll leave first."
"Okay, Director. Take your time."
After Director Wang left, the atmosphere in Feng Lin's office suddenly became quiet.
Lu Yunshen looked at the cold - faced doctor he'd just met for the first time, feeling a bit confused.
"Doctor Feng, have we met before?"
Actually, what he really wanted to ask was whether he had offended the doctor before.
Why did Doctor Feng show a hint of rejection and disgust from the very beginning of the meeting?
"You're overthinking."
Feng Lin was still thinking about how to make this man leave completely this morning. He never expected that God would send him a big gift, and the man came directly to the hospital.
"Your condition is just relatively rare. Yuanya Hospital has never received such a case before."
Feng Lin directly hinted, "I suggest you go to other hospitals that have treated similar patients, so as not to delay your condition."
It would be best if he left right now, so as to avoid running into Xiaoyu in the hospital later and causing any misunderstandings.
Although he had inadvertently taken over Lu Yunshen's identity after his injury.
But for so many days, it had been him, Feng Lin, who had been getting along with Xiaoyu day and night.
Xiaoyu's feelings and dependence should only be given to him, Feng Lin.
As long as the real Lu Yunshen never showed up again.
Since the words had already been said to this extent, Lu Yunshen simply came straight to the point.
"I checked before I returned to the country. In City A, only Yuanya Hospital has enough qualifications to perform this kind of surgery."
He paused.
"Since Doctor Feng is not willing to operate, I'll talk to Director Wang and ask him to replace another doctor."
"Feel free."
This surgery was extremely difficult. Feng Lin was confident that currently, besides him, there was no other doctor in the hospital capable of taking over.
By then, Lu Yunshen would voluntarily transfer to another hospital.
This time he was prepared. Once Lu Yunshen left City A, it would be a pipe dream for him to come back and meet Xiaoyu.
Facing Feng Lin's tough attitude, Lu Yunshen didn't want to say more and turned around to leave.
But out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the scar on Feng Lin's wrist.
He suddenly froze in place.
He remembered that when he was a child, he once pestered his older brother to carry him.
But his older brother was only two years older than him. After struggling to pick him up, he couldn't hold on for long.
In a panic, the ceramic ornament in his hand fell to the ground and broke.
In order to protect him from getting scratched, his older brother tightly shielded him with his hands, but he himself was cut and bleeding.
Even after he recovered, the deep wound on the inside of his wrist still left a scar, exactly such a crescent - shaped scar.
"What's this?"
Feng Lin looked in the direction of his gaze and said puzzledly, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Doctor Feng, please tell me how you got this injury. It's very important to me."
"I don't remember."
"Please. I really have no ill intentions. I..."
Just as the two were arguing, there was suddenly a knock on the door.
Knock, knock, knock—
"Brother, are you in there?"
