843 Eat Dog Food Watching Your Show

After being busy all morning, Lei Hongtao and his assistant placed their luggage in the hotel in a rush, then went to the factory to collect information before going to interview many patients.

It was only at night that Lei Hongtao called Fu Huai'an to update him on the case and consult him on some questions.

Liu Mingchen's case received a lot of public attention, so the trial date was quickly fixed.

Liu Mingchen's parents stuck by Lei Hongtao's side and carefully inquired about the case, whilst on the other hand, Liu Mingchen seemed not to care at all!

Since Liu Mingchen returned home, he had been looking listless. No one knew what he was thinking as he sat at his desk the entire day!

This made Lu Mei more and more worried about her son. She wanted to call Lin Nuan and have her come over and talk to Liu Mingchen, but when she thought of the high-and-mighty attitude she had used when she asked Lin Nuan out previously, she was afraid that Lin Nuan might snub her, so she didn't make the call after all.

…

Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an's episode reached unprecedentedly high TV ratings. The most hotly searched topic on Weibo that entire day was of the married couple of Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an.

Such TV ratings and such a level of attention exceeded everyone's expectations.

Someone even said that because of Lin Nuan's "Talking with Lin Nuan" and the overseas variety shows that Jinjiang TV Station had bought the rights to broadcast, Jinjiang TV Station was about to surpass Jincheng TV Station and Haicheng TV Station to become the top TV station.

There was an increasing number of sponsors who contacted Jinjiang TV Station, offering to sponsor "Talking with Lin Nuan."

The president of Jinjiang TV Station was so pleased that he couldn't stop smiling. Back then, Chu Xun's exploitation of her position for selfish gain had given him the opportunity to pick up such a good deal. If it weren't for that incident, Jinjiang TV Station wouldn't be enjoying the high TV ratings it now enjoyed.

Lin Chen was undergoing his operation today. When the show was broadcast, Lin Chen was still in surgery, so Lin Nuan wasn't in the mood to watch the show. She had originally wanted to go to Jincheng, but Lin Ran talked her out of it. Although she wasn't in Jincheng, Lin Nuan, who was in her bedroom, was feeling even more tormented and was unable to sit still.

On the contrary, it was Lin Ran who sent Lin Nuan a WeChat message, attaching a screenshot of "Talking with Lin Nuan," which she was watching on her phone. The screen was so bombarded with bullet comments that Lin Nuan and Fu Huai'an could hardly be seen.

'Lin Ran: This program of yours… If I turn on the bullet comment section, I can't see you!'

Lin Nuan sat down on the sofa, hugging a pillow to her chest. Because of Lin Ran's message, her anxiety gradually calmed down.

Lin Ran could still find time to watch her show, which must have meant that Lin Chen's operation was going smoothly!

'Lin Nuan: You're bored enough waiting outside the operating room to watch my show?'

'Lin Ran: Otherwise, how would I have nothing better to do than eat dog food watching your show?'

'Lin Nuan: …'

Lin Nuan's heart calmed down even more.

Before she could reply to Lin Ran, another message from Lin Ran came in…

'Lin Ran: Dr. Guan and Dr. Su are in the operating room. Don't you think it's a coincidence? Dr. Su is Brother's junior from Haicheng Medical University. I heard from Dr. Su that although she and Brother never met each other in school, she heard that he used to be a prominent figure in Haicheng Medical University. It's a pity that he never went on to practice medicine.'

Lin Nuan seemed to vaguely recall Xie Jingqian mentioning that Dr. Su graduated from Haicheng Medical University!

Thinking back to the past, the corners of Lin Nuan's lips turned up. Lin Chen was indeed a prominent figure in Haicheng Medical University.

Although Lin Ran didn't call, she said a lot more over texts…

Lin Nuan's acute senses told her that Lin Ran was feeling nervous!

Come to think of it, it did make sense. Lin Chen was lying inside the operating room undergoing major surgery, while Lin Ran was sitting alone outside, not knowing if her older brother was alive or dead. If something happened to Lin Chen, Lin Ran wouldn't know what to tell her parents once she got back to Haicheng!

Lin Nuan calmed herself down…

If Lin Ran sensed that she was feeling nervous, Lin Ran's heart would only feel more burdened.

Lin Nuan guessed correctly. As Lin Ran sat outside the operating room alone, the fingers that she used to type on her phone were trembling slightly.

As she waited all by herself for Lin Chen's operation to be over, the quietness of the surroundings made her flustered and nervous. All kinds of ridiculous thoughts overwhelmed her mind, and the pressure she was feeling was increasing as time went by!

Between her and Lin Nuan, one was on tenterhooks sitting outside the operating room, while another was sitting uneasily at home. The two of them helped soothe each other's nerves by texting each other on WeChat.

Previously, the two of them had a shared secret they were hiding from the rest of the Lin family, which helped pull them closer together!

Now, if something were to happen, since the two of them were in the know, they would need to shoulder the responsibility together. Hence, their relationship… became even closer.

Lin Nuan thought about it, then decided to bring up Gu Shaoting to distract Lin Ran from her worries…

'Lin Nuan: Last time, you mentioned that Gu Shaoting would be at Dad's birthday. Have you been in contact with Gu Shaoting after that?'

'Lin Ran: Can you talk about something else? Why are you bringing up Gu Shaoting out of the blue?'

Lin Nuan thought about it, then guessed that Lin Ran must be feeling shy…

Lin Ran had always been a person who would rather die than admit her embarrassment, always using a tough attitude or feigned rage to conceal her true feelings.

Momentarily, Lin Nuan smiled, the worry in her eyes dissipating as her fingers danced away on the keyboard on her phone screen…

'Lin Nuan: Do you have a boyfriend? If you don't, I can introduce you to one. I know this friend called Gu Shaoting, who's not a bad catch!'

'Lin Ran: …'

Looking at the string of ellipses that Lin Ran sent over, Lin Nuan lightly chuckled, then gazed out at the pitch-black darkness outside the window. However, after she was done with the chuckle, her heart was enveloped once again in darkness, like the dark skies outside the windows.

Lin Ran, who was on the other end of the line, seemed to have sensed Lin Nuan's feelings. Even the text she followed up with had a heavy tone.

'Lin Ran: Say, do you think Brother will be fine?'

Hearing the sound of the wind howling outside the window, Lin Nuan could already feel the chilliness.

Lin Nuan didn't hesitate to reply, fearing that her hesitation would increase the burden in Lin Ran's heart…

'Lin Nuan: Yes, Brother will certainly be fine! Let's wait for him to come out of the operating room!'

Lin Ran didn't reply after that, merely gripping her phone with both hands and quietly praying for Lin Chen's safety with her head lowered and eyes closed!

Lin Nuan leaned against the head of the bed as she quietly waited for news.

…

Inside the dark room of the study.

Fu Huai'an's back faced the room. He had one hand in his pocket and was leaning against his desk. He had a frown on his face, and his large and powerful hand was holding his phone to his ear as he gazed at the darkness outside the window, his eyes looking deep and dark like the night outside.

On the other end of the line was Gu Qingcheng's deep voice. "We haven't found the people that were switched away in America. America has maintained secrecy, and it's a joint operation between several departments, so we only know that America is thinking of giving her a new identity in exchange for some information. Once May Myint Yady gets her freedom and a new identity, never mind how difficult it would be for us to find her. If she wants to avenge her older brother, her acting in the dark would be incredibly disadvantageous to you!"
