To find out the truth as soon as possible, Lu Che pretended to be tricked and personally visited the doctor that diagnosed her.
"Doctor Lin, my madam has stabilized and agreed to cooperate with your treatment. So, President Mo asked me to make arrangements."
"Oh, the tumor needs to be removed as soon as possible. So, I will immediately arrange for her surgery. This is very important to her," the doctor said in a serious tone. The doctor said seriously. In reality, Lu Che was only maintaining basic courtesy. Deep down, he wanted nothing more than to snap the doctor's neck in half.
As a doctor, not only did she not fulfill her duty to save lives, she even disregarded the lives of others. She was not fit to be called a human.
Lu Che wanted so badly to tear off the doctor's mask. But, when he thought about the fact that the truth had yet to be investigated, he held back.
"I've looked at my arrangements. If it's for the surgery, let's schedule it for 3 days from now. Is that OK?"
"OK," Lu Che nodded with a smile. "As you know, President Mo is very concerned about the madam. Her health has always been of utmost importance. As his subordinates, we don't dare to neglect her."
"Of course."
"However, it seems, the hospital has not given Hai Rui an answer as to why my madam's privacy was leaked. I hope the next time we meet, doctor, you can hand over the madam, or at least give us a satisfactory answer," Lu Che deliberately suppressed the smug look on the doctor's face as he pretended to hold him accountable.
The doctor's expression changed. She never expected that, underneath Lu Che's polite expression, he had such a strong side.
"Don't worry, our hospital is currently investigating this matter. Our initial guess is that it was done by the despicable paparazzi," the doctor smiled.
Lu Che scoffed, but he hid his anger in his heart as he watched the doctor's pretense. Even though, he was already used to people like this.
Afterwards, Lu Che left the hospital. However, he placed plenty of spies in the hospital. He was sure, it wouldn't be long before the truth would be revealed.
As soon as the doctor saw Lu Che leave, she pulled out her phone and made a phone call to an unknown number, "I've taken the bait. Everything is going smoothly. But, I need to meet with you. After all, this matter is too dangerous and I can't take on the risk on my own."
The doctor wasn't someone who was blinded by money and didn't know what was important.
Taking advantage of a doctor to harm someone was easy to find out. Worst of all, the person they were offending was Hai Rui and Mo Ting.
Therefore, she needed to know that the other party had shown enough sincerity.
"How can I see you?"
"If you don't want to see me, go find someone else. See if they're willing to take the risk for your little bit of money."
On the other end of the phone, Tang Xuan's face was filled with anger. They had already agreed on the terms, yet the other party had suddenly changed his mind. Yet, she was still in a passive position... They were already on the same boat, how could she turn around and look for someone else?
Although, she hated being threatened.
"Let's meet at a cafe near the hospital tomorrow afternoon." In the end, Tang Xuan could only compromise.
However, she had no idea that her appearance had completely placed her in Mo Ting's hands. If he wanted her to live, she would live; if he wanted her to die, he would kill her.
"How is it?" Mother Zhong asked as she noticed the gloomy expression on her daughter-in-law's face.
"The other party has requested for a cash transaction. In fact, they will only be willing to work with us if they see me. The risk involved is too high," Tang Xuan relayed the doctor's message to Mother Zhong.
"Actually, this is reasonable. Let's get ready." Mother Zhong nodded her head. "Also, go and get changed. The plainer the better. It's about time to meet your grandfather."
"OK, mom..."
It seemed that some wars that had been extinguished in the past would erupt like a volcano sooner or later.
...
After resting for two days, Tangning returned to the set.
However, the staff looked at her with sympathy and respect.
If any other actress was in her position, they would have asked for a day off a long time ago.
In reality, Tangning's body was indeed not in good shape, but...
... not because she was sick, but because she was pregnant.
This time, the staff noticed that Mo Ting stayed by Tangning's side the entire time. He did not say a word as he quietly helped her with every little thing.
"Ning Jie, are you sure you're OK?" The set manager asked. "If you're not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days. After all, you can always film something else if you want to."
"Thank you for your concern, but it's fine. I'm fine," Tangning replied with a smile.
"Don't care about the rumors outside. Everyone supports you. I hope you can understand that we all approve of you. Whether it's your acting or your character, you are the best." The man gave her a thumbs up.
Mo Ting cleared his throat, reminding the manager not to overdo it. Tangning looked at him helplessly.
Did he have to be jealous of someone like this? He was simply concerned.
As soon as Taka found out that Tangning was returning to the set, he specifically went to see her. Of course, after being dealt a blow by Mo Ting, all he felt for Tangning was admiration. This was the advantage of being a foreigner; they were professional and didn't care about trifles. This was also the reason why Tangning tolerated Taka from the beginning. He was simply childish and arrogant, but he wasn't a bad person.
This was the male lead that Mo Ting liked...
Could he really be bad?
"You're all over the news right now. You seem to be very popular."
"Of course, I've always been in the limelight," Tangning replied in fluent English.
Taka was afraid of Mo Ting's gaze, so he scratched his head in annoyance. Perhaps it was because he was a little embarrassed, "Anyway, if you need anything from me, just let me know."
However, before Tangning could respond, Taka's figure disappeared from their sight...
Tangning couldn't help but let out a gentle laugh. Mo Ting also smiled along with her.
"Sit here for a moment. I'm going to go discuss your upcoming scenes with Director Wei," Mo Ting gestured for her to sit down.
Tangning reached out her hand to stop Mo Ting as she shook her head, "I know better than anyone what I'm going to film..."
"Ting, if you acknowledge me as a professional actor, then don't worry and leave everything to me. I know what I'm doing and I won't do anything to make you worry. Trust me, OK?"
"If you're overly protective of me, the entire crew will be nervous. I don't want that to happen."
"Since you're here to accompany me, then you should respect my decision, OK?"
Without his identity as the CEO of Hai Rui, Mo Ting was perhaps so outstanding that no one could compare to him. But, in front of Tangning, he was simply a normal husband that wanted to protect his wife and child.
"I'm just nervous..."
