These were exactly the same kinds of medicine that Xia Sanghuan had asked Xiao Song for.
She had already used up all the medicine she got from Old Man Xiao.
Actually, she could have just asked him for more. Xiao Song surely wouldn't have refused her.
However, these medicines were all quite expensive to produce, and even legitimate hospitals had a hard time purchasing them from official channels.
Leaving aside whether the hospital had enough stock for her, she decided not to take any more from the hospital just to avoid giving Old Man Xiao any chance of being gossiped about.
Although Leng Chuanjin himself was not involved in the pharmaceutical industry, the Leng family had numerous pharmaceutical companies under its banner.
So he had a vague idea about these medicines.
He stared at the names of the medicines on his phone screen, thought for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing to get them for her.
Although he had no idea what she needed these dangerous drugs for, he instinctively trusted that she wouldn't do anything out of line.
After watching the girl's back disappear around the corner of the stairs, he turned around and entered his study to start summarizing his work for the week.
To ensure that the gathering between the Leng and Fu families went smoothly the next day, he had piled all his work onto today. He even had Wang Fu bring his lunch in from outside and ate it in the study.
By the time it started to get dark outside, he had finished all his work.
He stretched and rubbed his aching neck.
I wonder what she's up to.
His mind suddenly wandered, and the girl's bright face popped into his mind.
He got up and decided to go look for her.
After all, no one had told her that her family was coming for a gathering the next day.
Before he could even open the door, his phone rang.
He glanced at the name on the screen and answered the call.
"Hey, Chuanjin."
It was Fu Lingshi.
"Lingshi, how's the investigation going?"
"Not very smoothly."
The other person seemed to be driving. He could hear the sound of the steering wheel turning.
"Are you alone right now?"
"Yeah, just got back from the investigation."
"I didn't bring those assistants with me to avoid any more trouble."
Leng Chuanjin hesitated for a moment but still said,
"Lingshi, I trust your abilities.
But it's better to bring more people with you on such operations."
Fu Lingshi let out a soft laugh on the other end.
"Just relax when I'm on the job.
Alright, let's get down to business."
His tone suddenly turned serious.
"I didn't find out anything substantial this time.
But a lot of the details match our previous speculations.
So..."
"So you think the Xie family is behind this."
Leng Chuanjin finished his sentence for him.
"Right."
Then the two of them fell into a moment of silence.
Among the four major families in the world, the Xie family had the worst relationship with the Leng family.
So if anything big happened to the Leng family, the Xie family would surely be involved.
But recently, there had been almost no contact between the Leng and Xie families, let alone any conflicts.
So there was no reason for the Xie family to cause trouble for the Leng family.
... And definitely no reason to kidnap Xia Sanghuan.
Thinking about what happened to the little girl before, Fu Lingshi's eyes darkened.
"Since they dared to go after Huanhuan, they've automatically become enemies of the Fu family.
Chuanjin, although you told me not to tell the Fu family about this.
But if necessary, I'll still tell my father about it.
It's for Huanhuan's safety."
Leng Chuanjin knew he had his concerns and could only agree.
"By the way, Lingshi, did you guys get my mother's invitation?"
Hearing this, Fu Lingshi laughed.
"Of course we did.
Our family plans to visit tomorrow morning.
Moning and Youqing have been excited all day since they heard they'd get to see Huanhuan."
"That's good. You..."
Before Leng Chuanjin could finish his sentence, there was a sudden screeching of brakes on the other end of the phone.
His heart sank.
He was just about to call out Fu Lingshi's name when there was a crashing sound of a car collision and glass shattering, and then the call was abruptly cut off.
Realizing what had happened to his close friend, his mind went blank.
Without a second thought, he rushed out of the study.
Just as he reached the front door, he heard Xia Sanghuan's voice from behind.
"Second brother, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"
The girl was wearing casual clothes and seemed to be about to go out.
The man forced himself to stay calm and looked back at her without answering her question directly.
"What about you? Where are you going?"
"Me?"
"Auntie just called and said Dad, big brother, and the sisters are coming tomorrow, so I wanted to go out and buy them some things.
And I've been cooped up in my room all day. I thought I'd go out and relax."
Looking at the girl's eager face, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
Should he tell her?
Although he didn't know Lingshi's current condition yet, just from the sounds he heard on the phone, he knew.
Lingshi was in great danger.
Noticing the man's strange expression, she took a few steps towards him worriedly.
"Second brother, what's wrong?
Are you not feeling well?
Or is it that poison in your body..."
As she spoke, she reached out to feel his pulse, but the man stopped her halfway.
"I'm fine."
Looking at the girl's face, he struggled internally.
But the current situation didn't allow him to hesitate any longer.
After much thought, he finally managed to speak.
"I'm going to find Lingshi now. Do you want to come with me?"
Although he said so, his face didn't look like he was just going to meet a friend.
He looked anxious and panicked.
Xia Sanghuan looked at him, and her heart started to beat faster involuntarily.
Why does second brother look like this?
Could something have happened to big brother?
She didn't dare to think about it. Her head started to spin.
"Okay."
After getting her answer, Leng Chuanjin didn't hesitate any longer. He grabbed her hand and rushed out of the door.
It was too late to call Yun Ye now, but luckily Leng Chuanjin's car was parked outside.
They got into the car. The man called Yun Ye while starting the engine.
The girl sat in the passenger seat and bit her lower lip, trying to calm her nerves.
After the man hung up the phone, she asked,
"What happened to big brother?"
Leng Chuanjin was silent for a moment and then replied,
"I don't know."
"Is it serious?"
Thinking about the sounds he heard on the phone, his eyes darkened.
But he didn't want to tell the girl.
"... I don't know either."
The car fell into a deathly silence.
"Lingshi will be okay.
We have to trust his abilities."
