"Don’t rush." Xiao Shulan urged her to calm down, "At this point, we can’t afford to slip up and alert him, which would make it difficult for us to secretly eliminate this vixen."

"You’re right, second sister," Xiao Shuju nodded vigorously and then prompted Lin Yishan, who was prepared in the back, to come forward.

Lin Yishan, holding a group graduation photo of her entire undergraduate class, asked Xiao Shulan to identify someone, "Auntie, do you recognize this person?"

As it was a graduation photo, the faces were extremely small. That night, in the hospital, the lighting was also poor. Xiao Shulan thought hard for a long time but couldn’t link the woman in her memory to any of the female students in the photo.

"Don’t you have her personal photo?" Xiao Shuju hastily asked her stepdaughter.

Lin Yishan found this quite troublesome, mainly because Gu Nuan was an exceedingly low-key person who didn’t like being photographed, nor was she fond of taking selfies like they were.

"No," Lin Yishan said. Of course, she had another option, which was to ask Wa Zicong.

Wa Zicong and Gu Nuan had once been so close; it was unlikely they didn’t have a single photo together. However, that was the last thing she wanted to do. She didn’t want to go down that path and stir her own sentiments. Wan Zicong was hers now, not Gu Nuan’s.

"How about this," Xiao Shulan suggested, "one day you bring her out, and I will take a look at her in person; maybe I’ll be able to see more clearly."

Lin Yishan nodded.

Meanwhile, Zang Xiaolian had arrived downstairs at the apartment complex to pick up Tang Sili, who was coming over for a consultation.

Tang Sili’s Maserati drove into the posh community located in the city center’s prime location.

The Maserati was a new purchase when he was promoted to associate professor; he previously drove a Honda, which was actually not bad either.

The car reached the apartment where Xiao Yebai lived, stopped, and turned off the engine.

Zang Xiaolian went to greet him, and suddenly noticed another person sitting in the back seat of his car, which immediately put him on alert.

As Tang Sili stepped out of the car, seeing the expression on Zang Xiaolian’s face, he explained, "He’s a student who accompanied me to the conference. I mentioned this to Mr. Xiao."

After being promoted to associate professor, Tang Sili could now recruit his own clinical research students. He had recruited just one for the first batch.

Zang Xiaolian, not quite trusting his words, made a call to the higher-ups to discuss it with Xiao Yebai.

Upon receiving the call, Xiao Yebai said, "That’s his assistant. He said he needed an assistant to be more efficient in the future. I’ve allowed it. Tell his assistant not to come up yet."

With this, Zang Xiaolian relayed Xiao Yebai’s message to Tang Sili.

Tang Sili had no choice but to tell the person sitting behind him, "Dr. Ou, please stay in the car while I go up for the consultation."

The person sitting in the back seat seemed puzzled and while handing out Tang Sili’s medical bag through the car window, he stuck his head out to take a look around.

Zang Xiaolian suddenly saw the other’s face, and those facial features strangely made him feel as if he had seen them somewhere before.

After receiving the medical bag, Tang Sili gestured to Zang Xiaolian to lead the way.

Worried about Gu Nuan, Zang Xiaolian, without delay, led him into the apartment building.

Entering the elevator, Zang Xiaolian asked the surgical professor in a low voice, "Professor Tang, where is your student from?"

"His last name is Ou; he’s Mrs. Ou’s son," Tang Sili seemingly thought it was not a secret, spoke outright without any concealment.

Zang Xiaolian pondered his words, the ’Mrs. Ou’s son’ he explicitly named; could it be referring to that famously well-known businesswoman, Ou Chunhua?
