Chapter 2082 - 492: Gilded Outside, Rotten Within
Ruan Songxi came out of the ward, a man in elite attire with gold-rimmed glasses briskly walked over.
"President Ruan."
Ruan Songxi glanced at him and the two walked to a secluded corner.
"We’ve tracked his whereabouts, he’s currently living in Deep Water Bay, relying entirely on Zhu Weier’s money from selling herself to make ends meet. He did come to the hospital yesterday, but ever since leaving the hospital, he hasn’t returned to Deep Water Bay. I’ve already sent people to keep watch, and once he surfaces, he won’t escape."
Deep Water Bay is the most densely packed slum in Hong Kong, gathering a group of the elderly and impoverished, the lowest strata of society. Bedspaces are surrounded by barbed wire, resembling cages, with poverty and narrowness like hell on earth.
Ruan Songxi’s indifferent face revealed a sinister smile, Secretary Zhu Qing involuntarily shivered and immediately lowered his head.
"At all costs, find him for me."
"Yes." Zhu Qing responded respectfully.
"What about Zhu Weier..." Zhu Qing probed.
"Keep an eye on her first, we’ll handle it all together when the time comes."
"Also, assign more staff over, if any dubious people approach her again, they’ll bear the consequences."
With Ruan Songxi’s heavy voice landing, Zhu Qing instinctively shivered, quickly stood straight: "Yes."
Waving his hand, Zhu Qing turned and quickly left.
Ruan Songxi’s tall silhouette flickered uncertainly in the shadows, his eyes icy cold.

The next day Yun Ya’s health improved significantly, but Zhuang Xiyue stubbornly refused to let her get out of bed, having the doctor perform checks repeatedly, ensuring Yun Ya was completely well before finally letting her go.
During this, all sorts of nourishing foods were sent to Yun Ya en masse. Yun Ya didn’t eat them, so Zhuang Xiyue coaxed and cajoled, if nothing worked, she resorted to her cultivation energy of acting cute. Yun Ya sighed in defeat, patting her round belly full of distress.
Just then, there was a sudden knock at the door from outside.
The caregiver, stationed by the door ready to run errands, promptly went to open the door.
"Miss Ji." A young man in a white coat walked in, gazing at Yun Ya with fervent admiration.
Yun Ya recognized him, he was Doctor Zhou’s assistant.
"Hello." Yun Ya smiled and spoke.
The assistant looked flattered, the caregiver took the fruit basket from him, placed it on the bedside table, and swiftly brought over a chair.
"Thank you." The assistant smiled at the caregiver and then nodded politely to Lady Yan, who looked at him with a regal and elegant air, her smile warm and gracious. She seemed somewhat familiar, but the assistant couldn’t recall where he had seen her. However, he didn’t forget the purpose of his visit today, so he simply greeted her politely and looked at Yun Ya.
"Miss Ji, we met previously in Doctor Zhou’s office, do you still have an impression of me?" The assistant tentatively asked, eyes filled with anticipation.
Yun Ya nodded: "Of course, I remember."
The assistant exclaimed in delight: "Really? Miss Ji, you genuinely remember me?"
Zhuang Xiyue wondered if this boy was perhaps a fool.
Yun Ya chuckled warmly.
"My... my name is Xu Xing, everyone calls me Xiao Xu, Miss Ji, you can call me Xiao Xu. I... it’s actually Doctor Zhou who heard you were ill, he originally wanted to visit you himself, but there was an important surgery this morning, so he sent me in his stead, are you feeling better now?"
Xiao Xu stammered excitedly, his face flushed with a suspicious blush.
The girl sitting on the hospital bed bathed in sunlight, angelically beautiful, glanced at him then hurriedly lowered her gaze, her heart racing uncontrollably.
"Thank you Doctor Zhou, and thank you Xiao Xu, I’m much better now, thank you for your concern."
The girl’s gentle clear voice fell upon his ears, like warm jade, soothing.
"Xiao Xu, don’t be formal, have a seat." The elegant lady spoke kindly with a smile, her voice amiable.
"Thank you, Lady." Xiao Xu carefully sat down.
"It’s like this, regarding Lady Ruan’s surgery plan, Doctor Zhou asked me to inquire about your opinion. Only your health isn’t well right now, should the surgery be postponed?" Xiao Xu tentatively asked.
Glancing at the furnishings of the ward, having worked in the hospital for so long, he hadn’t realized there was such a luxurious and sophisticated ward. It was said to be eligible only for national leaders, thinking of the other party’s identity, not only renowned globally as Dr. Nyx, but also a relative of the Hong Kong tycoon Ruan Family, rumored to be arranged personally by Miss Liang.
