Chapter 388

Absolute Secrecy

"Big Brother Lin, you know how severe your injuries are. Nannan’s medicine is incredibly rare and in short supply—it was prepared by her former master. Every dose used means one less left, so it's best not to draw attention."

The hospital’s full of people, and they all know. If word got out that someone who was on the brink of death yesterday, almost needing funeral wreaths, had bounced back today—and all thanks to Lin Nannan—they'd never hear the end of it. Moreover, this was even more dangerous than the research Lin Nannan had conducted.

Who doesn’t want to stay healthy and safe?

Therefore, Lin Kangnian couldn’t recover too quickly. He’d need to stick around the hospital longer before leaving; otherwise, it’d raise eyebrows.

After taking in Lu Hang’s meaning, Lin Kangnian nodded solemnly. "I understand. Since A-Jian and A-Sheng are both here, we won’t need to trouble the nurses for dressing changes. We’ll take this to the grave."

The two Lin brothers nodded like bobbleheads in agreement. They were well aware of Lin Nannan’s extraordinary nature, and given the Lin family’s stance, they would only cooperate.

Seeing this, Lu Hang let out a relieved breath and turned to Lin Nannan. "Next time you do something like this, let me handle it. Got it?"

Lin Nannan knew he meant well and agreed without hesitation.

Since Lin Kangnian’s condition had improved and his brothers were present, Lin Nannan and Lu Hang decided to head back first.

They had come in a hurry without eating breakfast, so they went straight to the cafeteria after leaving the hospital.

They figured the cafeteria would be empty by now, but to their surprise, the place was still crowded.

The main topic of conversation was Jian Lingzhi. Given the scale of yesterday’s incident and the number of witnesses, the gossip was already out of control with just a bit of exaggeration.

The buzz died down when Lin Nannan and Lu Hang arrived, and the crowd eagerly hounded them for the scoop...

Lu Hang gave a brief explanation and concluded with relief, "Luckily, we got a bad vibe and caught her right away. If we’d let her go, who knows what she’d have pulled?"

"Exactly!" The crowd gasped in unison.

"During the previous check-ups, she was the one assigned to handle them. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. If anyone had accidentally offended her, who knows how they might’ve ended up," someone said fearfully.

"Right? A doctor with such malice—what kind of upbringing did she even have?" another person fumed.

The room practically radiated hate for Jian Lingzhi. It was a good thing she’d been arrested; otherwise, the daggers everyone was staring at her could’ve done the job.

Lin Nannan and Lu Hang both thought that, given the severity of the incident, the Jian family would only take external action—after all, Jian Lingzhi had implicated the person who originally arranged her entry. But unexpectedly, Jian Lingzhi’s sister-in-law still had the gall to track down Lin Nannan.

Lin Nannan had met her once before. Back then, she had stood beside Jian Lingzhi, eyeing everyone like they were dirt. Now, however, she appeared exhausted, her eyes dull, as if she were a completely different person.

When Cui Jie saw Lin Nannan, her face was a mix of emotions.

None of them had expected that a woman from the countryside could ruin the daughter the Jian family had painstakingly groomed.

"Ms. Lin, I came today to discuss something with you..." Cui Jie hurriedly intercepted her.

Lin Nannan’s expression darkened at the sight of her. "Given what Jian Lingzhi has done, I don’t think there’s anything to discuss."

Cui Jie hadn’t anticipated Lin Nannan’s firmness and quickly pleaded, "Lingzhi is still young and foolish. She knows she was wrong—can’t you cut her some slack?"
