Chapter 414 Temporary Alliance
"Okay then, if that's the case, you go ahead up. I'll wait here for you. Once you're settled, we can have dinner together tonight."
"Tonight?"
After hearing that, Li Jingwen hesitated for a moment.
She didn't know if the old patriarch had any arrangements, but usually, the old patriarch only needed to explain the specific circumstances to her; he wouldn't get too involved with anything else.
"What's wrong? Do you have plans for tonight? Or is there someone here to welcome you back?"
"No, that's not the case. I've been away from this city for so many years, and those relationships are long gone. So, no one will remember me."
"Well then, if there's no one, it's perfect. I'll treat you well tonight. Also, I'm afraid I'll have to leave the city tomorrow. It'll be for a few days, and I probably won't have the chance to see you then."
"Alright, it has to be tonight then. Okay, wait here for me. We'll catch up properly over dinner later."
After saying that, she turned to look at Lin Yi and then quickly left the place.
The man behind her was closely following her.
Lin Yi felt that he must be doing pretty well.
When she arrived outside the room of the elder, she took a deep breath and then gave an instruction to her assistant.
The assistant quickly left the place because nobody would be with her when meeting this key figure.
She took her suitcase herself and walked to the door, then rang the doorbell.
After a little while, she heard the sound of the door opening, and right after, the door swung open. She saw the elder turn and go straight back into the room.
Li Jingwen, pushing her suitcase, entered the room and closed the door behind her.
"Elder Bai."
After entering the living room, she tossed her things to one side and then stood respectfully in front of Elder Bai.
"Good, not bad. It looks like your sense of timing hasn't changed. You arrived right at the last minute when you came in."
"Hehe, Elder Bai, after cooperating for so many years, I naturally understand how things work. I've brought you the items you wanted and the contract. I'll give them to you now."
While speaking, Li Jingwen stopped her suitcase and prepared to take some things out, but at this moment Elder Bai suddenly pulled her over.
She found herself leaning against Elder Bai's chest.
"Elder Bai, your leg, are you still hurt there?"
"How is it, have you missed me?"
"Elder Bai, look, I've just gotten off the plane and haven't had the chance to tidy up yet. I think I'm all sweaty."
Elder Bai just held her gently and then reached out to caress her face lightly.
"Still so charming. I've truly missed you these past few months."
"Stop joking, Elder Bai. By the way, how's your leg injury?"
Li Jingwen seemed somewhat uneasy and didn't want to get tangled up with such an old man.
"Oh, the leg... it should be pretty good overall. Plus, I encountered something very strange today, and I want to discuss it with you."
"Strange? What strange thing?"
"While I was waiting for you at the café downstairs reading a book, a young man came over and pointed out the cause of my leg injury. Then, just now upstairs, he performed a minor surgery on me. You can say the surgery was quite a success."
"What? He operated on you? In the room?"
"Yes, you wouldn't believe it, but he managed to do the surgery right there in the room. At the time, I hadn't expected it, but this really did happen to me and I witnessed the entire process. You can't help but believe it."
"My goodness, that's really a miracle doctor! How's your leg now? Besides the wound area being a little painful, I can't feel anything else. I believe that in a couple of days, the pain should mostly subside and this leg will be healed."
"Elder Bai, that's really something. And before, so many doctors abroad couldn't do anything, yet here we've found hope."
"Yes, who would have thought that what was hidden there was so profound? If not for him, I wouldn't have had any clue as to what was happening."
"How did he know?"
"I'm not sure, he just looked at me twice and quickly made his judgment. I guess he must have a good understanding of human anatomy."

"Elder Bai, what do you mean by telling me this?"
"This guy is an extraordinary talent, and he will be very useful for our next steps. So, I want to recruit him."
"I see, Elder Bai, you want me to investigate this man, right?"
"Yes, because I can't find any clues right now. The only thing I know is that an assistant following him is a girl named Liu Yao, and she was working at the People's Hospital. Hurry up and inquire at the hospital, find out who this man is, and see if he's a doctor at their hospital."
"Okay, I've got it. This should be simple. I'll take care of this for you tomorrow, how's that?"
"Tomorrow? What, do you have something else tonight?"
"Elder Bai, as you know, my roots are here. I haven't been back for many years and now that I'm here, I'd like to meet some old classmates. I've arranged to see them this afternoon."
At this point, Elder Bai seemed a bit displeased, but he nodded reluctantly.
After all, since she had already made arrangements, it would be somewhat excessive for him to insist she stay.
"Fine then. If it's an old relationship, then at the very least, it should be maintained. After all, in the coming years, we are likely to stay here."
When he finished speaking, Li Jingwen seemed a bit surprised.
