Chapter 128 The phone suddenly vibrated twice in quick succession.
On the other end of the phone, Nan Tinghe was genuinely surprised.
Of course, it wasn't because Horstley could come up with astronomical figures.
After all, being in this circle, money is just a number to them. Although he wasn't extravagant, he didn't feel bad about spending money, let alone Huo Sili, who was known as Master Jing.
But this couldn't diminish Nan Tinghe's surprise, or even shock—
Five billion! Horstley actually spent five billion to buy a piece of information!
One piece of information: which department his wife went to for treatment!
This is something that Nan Tinghe, who has a happy marriage and children, finds very difficult to understand.
At the same time, I also felt a lot of pressure instantly.
Based solely on Huo Sili's behavior, it's not hard for him to see that there must be a huge conflict, or rather, a huge estrangement or misunderstanding between the other party and his wife.
Otherwise, a perfectly good matter could be resolved with just a phone call, or even without a phone call at all, by simply sending a text message.
Why would he spend a staggering five billion to acquire it?!
They may be rich, but even in the world of the wealthy, 5 billion is no small sum.
Even though he's a big shot in Beijing, he shouldn't spend money like this, right? Or is this some kind of quirk of his?
Are you playing a telepathy game with your wife?
Regardless, at this moment, Nan Tinghe was as confused as a tangled ball of yarn, his face clearly showing his incomprehension and his head filled with question marks.
While struggling with his thoughts, Nan Tinghe heard Huo Sili's calm yet extremely authoritative words on the other end of the phone.
"I am very concerned about my wife and hope that President Nan can grant my request."
Nan Tinghe's face immediately turned even more bitter. Judging from the tone of President Huo on the other end, this matter was not a game.
And it was indeed as he had guessed—Hosley and his wife had a huge misunderstanding.
And why does what Horstley said sound so much like a threat?
Meanwhile, outside the ward, He Xu cautiously observed Huo Sili beside him.
I was so nervous that I even held my breath.
Suddenly, Huo Sili's thin lips curled up slightly, "Then thank you in advance, President Nan."
Half a second later, the call ended with a beep.
At the same time, in the supermarket, Jiang Qin passed by the fruit section and happened to see staff lifting large baskets to load goods.
A basket of plump, round, and beautiful oranges was quickly piled into a small mountain, which was particularly eye-catching under the light.
Smelling the fresh scent of oranges, Jiang Qin wanted to buy some to eat. Just as she was walking over, an orange suddenly jumped out of the stocker's basket, bounced several times, and headed straight for Jiang Qin.
Startled, Su Lejia quickly reached out to pull Jiang Qin back, while simultaneously extending her arm to block her.
The expected pain didn't come—the moment the orange fell, it was firmly caught by the bodyguard standing beside the two sisters.
Su Lejia breathed a sigh of relief.
The staff member turned pale with fright: "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
That orange bounced so high; if it had actually hit, it would most likely have hit Jiang Qin on the head.
However, Jiang Qin herself reflected that she shouldn't have rushed over there just now—she had only seen a few baskets left, and who would have thought there would be a "ball" in there.
"Are you alright?" The bodyguard was also a little shaken.
If they hadn't noticed and had been distracted, resulting in the second young mistress getting injured, they wouldn't have been able to explain it to the old lady when they got back.
They'll probably have to bear the wrath of the second young master.

Thankfully, it caught.
"I'm fine. Thank you so much for everything." Jiang Qin said, sounding quite relaxed, but she was still feeling lingering fear.
It was at this moment that, for some reason, an extremely ominous feeling rose up in her heart again.
Suddenly, thump! thump!
The phone suddenly vibrated twice in quick succession.
