Chapter 88 The Mystery Begins to Be Unveiled
Meanwhile, upstairs, Jiang Qin was washing up and taking a walk in the rooftop garden when she suddenly received a phone call.
The accident occurred during the construction of a tourism project in the south. Due to inadequate geological surveying, an employee lost his footing and fell off a cliff. The person in charge immediately dispatched people for search and rescue and contacted rescue teams and ambulances, but the local terrain is complex, and the employee has not been found yet after a day.
The worker who fell off the cliff happened to be a local. His family was very alert. Unable to contact him and living nearby, they immediately called the police and went to the construction area. They also had some connections with the local newspaper, so several reporters arrived with them.
The situation couldn't be contained, and the person in charge was in a terrible predicament. In the end, they decided to report to headquarters first.
Because they only had her contact information, otherwise the person in charge would have reported it directly to Huo Sili.
After all, she was bound to be criticized for what happened. If she were to act as the middleman, wouldn't that be like asking someone to take the blame? But there was no other way; the person in charge simply didn't have Huo Sili's contact information.
Jiang Qin naturally took this matter very seriously, saying, "Okay, I understand. I'll contact President Huo now."
The person in charge on the other end thanked them repeatedly, saying "thank you for your trouble" and "thank you for your hard work."
Since it involved lives, Jiang Qin naturally didn't waste any time. Before she even hung up the phone, she had already entered the elevator.
But when you go down to the first floor, you can't find Horstley anywhere in the dining chairs.
Jiang Qin frowned, then walked outside, looking around, but no one was there.
I called, the call went through, but no one answered.
Jiang Qin's brows furrowed even more instantly. What did he mean by this? What had she done to offend him now?
But why would she call him if it weren't important? Can't he have a little more tact when he's throwing a tantrum?
I called again, but still no answer.
Jiang Qin pursed her lips, dialed again, and this time finally answered.
But the person who spoke was not Huo Sili, but He Xu.
"Madam, is there something you need to discuss with Mr. Huo? He's busy right now. Why don't you tell me, and I'll pass on the message?"
When will Huo Sili's phone end up in He Xu's hands?
Upon hearing He Xu's voice, Jiang Qin subconsciously thought of this question.
Then she remembered that a year ago in the president's office, when Huo Sili wanted to be alone with her and didn't want to be disturbed, he would temporarily hand his phone to He Xu for safekeeping.
So, he is.
Jiang Qin smiled slightly and glanced at the tableware Huo Sili had used not far away.
She came downstairs, and he had already left, presumably without even having eaten.
Without even eating, in such a hurry, who else could they be meeting?
……
Where is the person you mentioned?
Ruikang Hospital, a prestigious private hospital under the Lu family, is located halfway up a mountain.
Huo Sili had just pushed open the door to Lu Xiuyuan's usual consultation room when he asked a question.
After finishing his phone call, Lu Xiuyuan continued studying the ancient medical book in his hand. Hearing the door open, he gently put the book down.
"They're receiving treatment upstairs. Shall I take you there to have a look?"
Huo Sili hummed in agreement. Lu Xiuyuan got up and came out from behind the consultation table, but just as he was about to leave, he looked at Huo Sili with a complicated expression. "But I have to tell you first, I'm not sure if this person really knows you."
"Because he probably has some mental issues, and he's all ragged, maybe he's just after free medical care or free meals, who knows?"
Huo Sili nodded: "Okay, I understand. Take me to see it first."
"Okay." Hearing Huo Sili's response, Lu Xiuyuan didn't say anything more and led him upstairs.
A moment later, the door to a ward upstairs, where two bodyguards were standing guard at the entrance, was pushed open.
Lu Xiuyuan led Huo Sili into the house, and as soon as they entered, Huo Sili's brows furrowed suddenly. He felt as if a group of uncontrollable, fierce factors were drilling out of his bones.
At that moment, the emaciated old man, who was lying on the hospital bed receiving an IV drip and dressed in tattered clothes, seemed to hear the sound, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look over.
"You are... Chi Shen!"
Chi Shen, Chi Shen, Huo Chi Shen.
Huo Sili's eyes suddenly darkened. He glanced at the old man, then looked at Lu Xiuyuan.
Lu Xiuyuan quickly waved his hand, "Don't look at me like that, I didn't say what the old man said!"
Just then, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor.
He Xu's voice rang out, "Mr. Huo, Madam! Madam is on the phone..."
Huo Sili's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked towards the door.
"Qinqin called? What did she say?"
A few minutes later, at Yunhai Huafu, Jiang Qin was about to go into the bathroom to take a shower.
A call came in from someone whose contact was marked as "General Manager Huo".
The call connected, and it was about the tourism project in the south. After Jiang Qin finished speaking seriously, she was about to say goodbye, thinking that she had to contact the person in charge of the project as soon as possible. After so long, the other party must be waiting anxiously.
But before she could finish saying "bye," Huo Sili suddenly interrupted her.
"I'll be right back, in an hour. Don't go to sleep yet, I have something to ask you."
Jiang Qin frowned slightly.
