When Lin Yanming came back, Shi Rui had already packed away his facial expressions.

He smiled at Lin Yanming, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."

Shi Rui put the condolence present on the bedside.

"I hope you can help me convey my greetings to my brother."

"Bye." Lin Yanming replied indifferently, still seemingly paying him no mind.

When Shi Rui reached the door, he seemed to suddenly think of something and turned to look at Lin Yanming.

"By the way, when you were out for dinner just now, I received a call that wanted my brother to call them back."

"Who?" Lin Yanming frowned.

"It seems to be from the Management Bureau," Shi Rui said lightly.

After saying that, he turned to leave.

The door of the hospital room closed behind Shi Rui, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.

He didn't want to give Shi An this news.

However, Shi Rui was not stupid, he had clearly stated his name and identity just now. If the information were not conveyed, it would be easy to pin the blame on him, so he could only choose a relatively compromised method.

Shi Rui's expression twisted slightly.

He didn't know what kind of magic Shi An had, already able to forge a relationship with that official.

And by Mu Heng's tone, Shi An should already have his number.

Why was this happening?

What part went wrong?

Shi Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

It didn't matter, maybe it was just a simple greeting to the people he had saved.

But no matter what, until he found out the closeness of the relationship between Shi An and Mu Heng, all his machinations must be tucked away. Even if he wanted this obstacle to disappear, he can't risk being discovered by anyone, especially not that official.

Shi Rui clenched his icy hands and gritted his teeth.

He knew that their father had high hopes for Shi An and even donated a building to the Academy of the Ability to enroll him. This kind of investment wasn't easily made, but when they found out that Shi An was really, really incapable, Shi Zechun sent someone to find Shi Rui.

He couldn't believe that in the more than ten years of his growth, his father had not heard the slightest news about.

It's just that he gave up on Shi An, so he had to find another heir.

Shi Rui knew very well that everything he had now was based on the premise that "Shi An is trash".

Therefore, he must maintain the status quo.

"...What is going on here?"

Wang Li stared dumbfounded at the magnificent yet cruel spectacle in front of him.

His face was hued blood red by the light of the fire in the sky, and a strong burning smell filled the air. The crows turned into ash while the burning crackled, and little sparks fell down beside them.

With the disappearance of the ash crows, the fire in the air was immediately extinguished, and sprinkled down in the light of the rising sun.

"...S-so strong." Wang Li murmured.
