Chapter 160 - Bad news
"Did you really think that I will be deceived by you? I was once your manager, Xiao Yao." Shi Enxi leaned back, resting her back against the sofa as she crossed her legs. "Do you think that I won't notice how everyone's acting strange around me?"
Fan Xiao Yao lowered her head, her lips stretched out into a thin line and her fists clenched tightly. "I..."
"Since everyone gave me homework, I don't have a choice but do it, right?" Shi Enxi interrupted. "Don't worry, I did my homework. All you have to do is check them." She said with a smile. Her eyes may be smiling but the coldness in it was enough proof that she was not pleased.
"X-Xiao Xi, I-I can explain." There was no use hiding it now, Fan Xiao Yao was sure that Shi Enxi found out the truth already. The only question bothering was... How? How was she able to find out about the truth?
From what she knew, Shi Enxi has been staying at home and whenever she went out, she was always with the bodyguards that Lu Mello appointed for her so how was Shi Enxi able to find out?
A soft chuckle was heard from the woman sitting across her, "There's no need to explain."
The heaviness in the room was suffocating enough for Fan Xiao Yao. "B-but..."
"I just want you to confirm everything, Xiao Yao. I'm not angry." The smile didn't leave her lips to which it only made her friend become fidgety.
She may be saying that she was not angry but Fan Xiao Yao didn't feel that way! She felt like her friend was really angry!
"Now then, let's get on with the homework I did, shall we?" She lazily leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm. "I know that Yu'er is not my son, am I right?"
"H-How... how did you find out?" Fan Xiao Yao finally asked.
The answer to her question was already seen on her pale face. It was as if a ghost frightened her because of its sudden appearance. "So I'm right. It was actually easy to find it out," she smirked. "I just have to make the doctor speak."
...
"What do you mean Dr. Rui is not here?" Lu Mello asked out of frustration.
The nurse gulped nervously as she saw how dark Lu Mello's expression was. She answered with a stutter, "H-he quitted last month..."
The nurse that Lu Mello was talking with at that moment, she happened to be the doctor, Rui Gao's girlfriend that was why after he found out about it, he went to meet her. She was the one who took the baby out of the operating room and exchanged it with a dead one. She was in cahoot with her boyfriend but she never met Shi Anhao. She was only used by her boyfriend to assist him.
The only reason why the nurse was willing to help Lu Mello was because of the fact that he was willing to help her escape the situation. Aside from that, she felt so guilty after what she did. Her license will be surely revoked because of what she did. She was only forced to partake in it thanks to her boyfriend. Besides, it was better to come clean especially when they were against the Lu family although she would probably keep it a secret if Lu Mello hasn't gone to her.
She was not willing to talk if no one was going to ask her about it.
Lu Mello clenched his fists tightly as he tried his best to control himself from punching the wall. He kept on telling himself to calm down no matter how angry he was that moment. "Last month..."
He was too late... He was planning to use the doctor as someone who can testify against Shi Anhao but now, he was too late. He didn't have any leads anymore. He could use the nurse but it wasn't going to be enough since he can only use her against her boyfriend.
"Do you..." He paused and inhaled deeply as he tried his best to calm down. "Do you know where he is right now?"
The nurse shook her head, "No, I don't. He stopped contacting everyone after he quit. I also tried to contact him but I couldn't reach him."
Lu Mello couldn't help but think that it was possible that Shi Anhao silenced him by the use of other means but he could also have gone out of the country to hide.
"Do you know where he is staying?" He inquired.
"We were staying together, Mr. Lu. He hasn't come home ever since he gave his resignation letter."
"I see." He gave her his business card, "Contact me if he ever reached out to you."
After leaving the hospital, while Lu Mello was sitting at the backseat of his car, his phone began to ring.
When he looked at the called ID, Li Bingbing's name came up.
It has just been a day since he went to ask her help on tracking the phone number. Was she able to track it? If she did then that was fast.
"Hello?" He answered the call.
"Hi cupcake, I have bad news for you." Li Bingbing said from the other line.
Lu Mello sighed heavily. He shouldn't have put his hope up. "You aren't able to track the number?"
"No. In fact, I was able to track it and the bad news is that the number is from a dummy phone so I can't really track the person you want. Whoever that person is, he sure knows how to cover his tracks. I tried to look into the surveillance cameras that were in the place but he chose a street with so many blindspots." She explained.
"It's alright. I'll think of another way to look for him." He knew that it was going to be hard in the first place.
"I know that it's for your case, I'm sorry if I can't help you this time."
