“Have you heard of the famous doctor, Bi Fang?” Wu Mei hesitantly tossed out a name.

Li Nanchen’s gaze shifted slightly and he asked, “What’s your relationship with him?”

“He… is considered half a master to mine. When he was here previously, I picked up a few skills from him by chance.”

Feeling a tad bit guilty, Wu Mei fiddled with her nails out of habit. She stole a glance at Li Nanchen’s expression and could tell that he did not believe her.

Bi Fang was the best disciple of Special Agent M of the Ministry of Defence, and had learnt 80% of her medical skills.

Now, she could only use her own disciple as a replacement. Wu Mei felt that she was losing out.

“Can you get in touch with him?” Li Nanchen asked.

Wu Mei shrugged her shoulders and shook her head as she said, “He should be on some battlefield where there’s no signal. We have to wait for him to contact me.”

This was the truth.

Li Nanchen and Bi Fang could be considered friends. In the early stages of Old Master Li’s grave illness, he had already thought of asking Bi Fang for help. However, Bi Fang was always busy at war, so he could not contact him and could only look for Lin Liguo.

The clock was ticking and the villa was exceptionally quiet.

“Actually, you don’t have to think of ways to stall for time. Even if you don’t know Bi Fang and don’t have any medical skills, I won’t rush to divorce you again,” he said.

Li Nanchen rubbed his temples tiredly and looked at Wu Mei.

Li Nanchen had witnessed all that she had been through in the past few days. It had completely overturned his impression and understanding of her.

However, he still did not believe that she had any medical skills. In his opinion, Wu Mei was only trying to stall for time because she was afraid of being bullied again after the divorce.

“Previously, I didn’t know that Lin Piaopiao and the Wu Family treated you like this…”

“In the final three months, I will keep up our marriage until the three-year deadline ends. Don’t worry.”

Using his hand to prop himself against the wall, he stood up and took a deep look at Wu Mei.

“…Believe it or not, can you take me to the hospital tomorrow to visit Grandpa?”

Wu Mei knew that it was impossible for Li Nanchen to trust her within a short period of time.

That took time, and she also needed to see for herself how far Old Master Li’s health had deteriorated…

“Okay.” Li Nanchen walked around the mess and scattered furniture in the living room. His shoulders were slightly slumped, seemingly due to fatigue.

…

The next day, the sky was clear.
