Chapter 416: Chapter 416: The American Tiger Eyeing the Crocodile (7)

He closed the car door for her, as usual, watching her walk away first.

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but turn back, watching his standing by the roadside, still outstanding and attracting countless eyes, as if a ray of starlight.

This man, she almost didn’t know what to say about him anymore.

Since their small apartment was not far, Gu Nuan took extra care on the way and sent a text message to someone first.

After Zang Xiaolian had dropped her off at the apartment, as usual, he didn’t stay but turned and left immediately.

From upstairs, Gu Nuan watched as Zang Xiaolian drove away before sending another message to the same person: "Professor Tang, you can come up now."

Tang Sili took the elevator up and soon arrived at her door.

Gu Nuan opened the door.

Tang Sili asked, "Is it just you here?"

"Why, Professor Tang, worried about being scolded by the boss? Then why did you agree to come up?"

Tang Sili’s expression didn’t change, with a seemingly profound and unfathomable smile, he said, "I was just wondering, is it convenient for you to live alone? There’s no reason he would let you stay alone if he found out."

It seemed like nothing could be hidden from this money-loving professor of surgery. Gu Nuan had long suspected that this man held numerous secrets in his hands.

Tang Sili followed her inside and sat down in the living room. He had been here once before, so it was not unfamiliar to him.

Gu Nuan poured him a cup of water.

Tang Sili picked up the water glass, took a sip, and said, "Mrs. Xiao called me here, saying she wanted to make a deal?"

This money-loving professor, apart from the word "deal," it seemed there was nothing else one could hear from him.

Gu Nuan said, "I heard, Professor Tang, that you have been treating my husband?"

"Do you want to ask about Mr. Xiao’s health?" Tang Sili seemed to have guessed as much; his expression unchanged, he calmly said, "I can’t disclose that, it’s patient confidentiality. Wait for Mr. Xiao to tell you himself. You should ask him directly."

"What if I ask him about something he himself doesn’t know?"

Surprise appeared unmistakably on Tang Sili’s face, causing his hand holding the water glass to pause mid-air.

From the brief flicker of astonishment that crossed his eyes, Gu Nuan could tell that it wasn’t so much the surprise that Xiao Yebai himself didn’t know, but that she had managed to realize it. It was evidently a top-tier secret known by very few people.

Yebai was usually very good at pretending, so people always thought he was just frivolous, never really paying attention to his true inner world.

If it weren’t for this man, who had stepped into her, Gu Nuan’s, inner world, continually making her feel heartache. Moreover, he, just like Ou Yanan, had forgotten—

"Mrs. Xiao, your insight indeed exceeds my expectations," Tang Sili said, seemingly affirming her conjecture.

"Professor Tang should know, a deaf person, besides being adept at observing expressions to fend for themselves, what else can they do?"

Tang Sili didn’t comment on her words.

One could imagine, this man was only thinking about money. Perhaps due to being a doctor, he had seen far more pitiable people in the hospital than she, Gu Nuan, ever could.

"I believe you must have heard, Mr. Xiao was kidnapped once."

"Yes, I heard it from people around him, he was kidnapped once."

"That all happened during his childhood and left him with psychological trauma. However, it seems the things he has forgotten were not forgotten willingly but were deliberately erased by someone else."

Memories deliberately erased? Could something out of a sci-fi movie actually happen? Gu Nuan frowned, "Professor Tang, what you are saying, what evidence do you have?"
