Huo Jinyao looked at Qiu Yanbo from top to bottom, his penetrating gaze shrouded with indiscernible intent.

However, in only a few seconds, he promptly turned around and continued to look for Qingsang. When he arrived, he got the news that the medical team was doing fine, and had even participated in the rescue mission.

While he was still in the midst of turning away, Qiu Yanbo spoke, seemingly as if he knew what he was going to do. “Qingsang is conducting surgery in there. She probably won’t be out for a while.”

He twitched his mouth, pointing towards one of the tents. Huo Jinyao’s footsteps paused. He turned around casually and looked at Qiu Yanbo.

When their eyes met, the air between them seemed to be laced with explosives.

Huo Jinyao was no longer in haste to look for Su Qingsang. He took a step forward and stood before Qiu Yanbo.

“Director Qiu, can I ask you something — what exactly are you doing here?”

“What do you think?”

Qiu Yanbo didn’t answer his question directly. He had an amused look on his face.

“I don’t know you well enough, Director Qiu, so of course I don’t know the answer to that. However, I think that the Li family and the Su family should be well aware of this, don’t you think so?”

Qiu Yanbo chuckled. He looked unperturbed. “You don’t have to bring up the Su family and the Li family, Director. Although the Qiu family dare not claim that we have the biggest influence in town, when I, Qiu Yanbo, have my mind set on achieving a goal, nobody can stop me.”

“I truly admire your confidence, Director Qiu. However, a word of advice, if I may.”

“What is it?”

Huo Jinyao tucked both his hands into the pockets of his trousers, his handsome face etched with an ominous look.

“In this life, one should be aware of the limits of one’s capabilities. In addition, one has to learn how to appreciate what they’ve got. Those who lust after things that don’t belong to them will never have a pleasant end — that’s all.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Director Huo. However, I’m a rebel at heart — I just love turning things that don’t belong to me into mine, for I find that process extremely exciting. What do you think, Director Huo?”

Huo Jinyao had an ugly look on his face. He was restraining the impulse to aim a punch at Qiu Yanbo.

“Wah, wah—” An infant’s cry broke out from the inside.

The husband from earlier almost dashed inside instantly. A nurse emerged.
