Chapter 576: 539 Great Plan 2 (1 more update)

"When are we leaving?"

"Wait for my notice," Lu Han replied, his lips curving slightly. To get the upper hand over Longyi was never a difficult task for him.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Han went to Lin Jiaojiao’s hospital room. Entering the room, he found the two women still immersed in the joy of Lin Jiaojiao’s pregnancy.

Joy was written all over Lin Jiaojiao’s face, and Tang Su was even happier for her.

Seeing Lu Han come in, Tang Su asked directly, "How did it go? What did Elder Tan say? Is he coming back to take care of Jiaojiao right away?"

In Tang Su’s eyes, Tan Rongrong was indeed sick and needed the care of Elder Tan, but Jiaojiao was pregnant and needed his care as well.

When weighing the importance of the two, it was not certain if Tan Rongrong would be considered more important than Jiaojiao now.

After all, Tan Rongrong was about to come of age, and Elder Tan had not been by her side for years. When sick, surely it was better to have the people who were used to taking care of her nearby.

It was not appropriate for Elder Tan, a grown man, to stay in the same hospital room with Tan Rongrong, a young lady.

Elder Tan might as well come back to take care of Lin Jiaojiao and the child in her womb.

"No, he suggested we take Jiaojiao back to Beijing to secure the pregnancy there, if she is indeed pregnant," said Lu Han.

"Huh? What do you mean by ’if she is indeed pregnant’? The doctor has just said that the test report confirms the pregnancy."

"I know, but this indicator could rise not just because of early pregnancy. There are other factors as well, and I’ve already asked for further tests. Let’s wait for the final results."

Lu Han knew they were anxious, but some things required seeing the results before drawing conclusions.

Sometimes, even when results were out, they still needed to be verified repeatedly.

For now, it was merely a guess, and until it was confirmed, he did not want the two women before him to panic.

However, both Lin Jiaojiao and Tang Su were extremely sensitive women. Their intuition and their understanding of Lu Han made them realize he was hiding something very important from them.

The only question was, who among them was being kept in the dark.

Tang Su tactfully did not ask further. Being smart, she recalled how Elder Tan had never taken the initiative to contact Jiaojiao. When Jiaojiao tried to reach out, he seemed indifferent. Tang Su guessed that whatever Lu Han was hiding must be related to Jiaojiao.

So she decided not to ask.

Jiaojiao was also clever. She was wondering if something had happened to Elder Tan.

If Elder Tan had indeed encountered trouble, then even if she asked now, Lu Han certainly wouldn’t tell her.

As for what Lu Han said, Lin Jiaojiao believed him.

Perhaps she was not pregnant after all. Her own body had been damaged by her neglect.

Even if there was a child who chose her womb for development, she did not believe that her womb was suitable for the child’s growth.

Half an hour later, the final test result from the pathology department came back. There was, in fact, no pregnancy, and the previous increase in the chorionic villus sampling was a false positive.

This discovery shocked everyone in the hospital’s pathology department, some of whom had been practicing medicine for decades and had never come across such an unusual case.

Of course, this was also the first time anyone had questioned the accuracy of the increasing chorionic villus sampling.

Could it be that this test could no longer be considered as one hundred percent reliable in confirming a woman’s pregnancy?

In the past, there were issues with pregnancy tests. Some people tested positive on a pregnancy test strip but didn’t visit the hospital or have an ultrasound done, assuming they were pregnant. Only after three months of not seeing their belly grow did they discover, through an ultrasound at the hospital, that they were not pregnant at all and had missed their period. It turned out they had developed a serious gynecological inflammation.

Lately, with the advancement of medical technology and the addition of blood tests, the certainty of diagnosing a pregnancy had all but reached ninety-nine percent. Yet today was the first day someone raised doubts.

Moreover, his questioning had been successful.

"Hmm, I got it," Lu Han answered the phone and learned that Lin Jiaojiao wasn’t pregnant. Instead of feeling relieved by this news, Lu Han’s frown deepened even further.

If it wasn’t pregnancy, what had caused Lin Jiaojiao’s earlier fainting and the dizziness after she walked out of the emergency room just now?

"Who did you meet before we returned to Hua City?" Lu Han asked Lin Jiaojiao.

"Lin Menmen, she came to the hotel to threaten me," Lin Jiaojiao said. She felt no need to hide anything from Lu Han.

"Lin Menmen? Besides threatening you, did she do anything else strange? Or, did you touch anything she had touched, or eat something she handled?"

"No, we despise each other. It was just threats, and she kept her distance from me. There was no physical contact. With our broken relationship, how would I eat anything she touched?"

"Hmm, I understand. Rest well. The new results just came in—there’s no pregnancy. I’ll get a caretaker for you this evening. For now, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll go buy it for the two of you," Lu Han said.

None of the three of them had eaten lunch.

Since the news of the pregnancy came out, Lin Jiaojiao had been quite happy. In the end, it turned out to be a false joy.

Even though it was the expected outcome, Lin Jiaojiao still couldn’t help feeling a bit of uncontrollable disappointment.

However, she would soon be able to adjust herself.

She’d just treat it as a trivial, inconsequential medical testing incident.

"You two go ahead and eat. Just bring me back some noodles or anything like that," Lin Jiaojiao said.

Lu Han nodded. "Alright, then you’ll be alone for a while. We’ll come back after we’ve eaten."

"Yes."

Tang Su didn’t want to leave but was pulled away by Lu Han.

"Lu Han, what on earth is going on? Are you hiding something from us?"

"Elder Tan has gone missing." Inside the elevator, Lu Han no longer kept it from Tang Su and spoke directly.

"What? Elder Tan has gone missing, how is that possible? Jiaojiao said that they had exchanged messages, it’s just that... Jiaojiao called, and Elder Tan didn’t answer..."

It was already suspicious that Elder Tan hadn’t answered his phone.

Given Elder Tan’s dedication to Jiaojiao, how could he not answer a call from his beloved Jiaojiao?

The only explanation was that Elder Tan had no choice, or he was missing.

"When did this happen?" Tang Su immediately asked.

It had been over ten days since their return from Beijing. If Elder Tan had lost his freedom before they left Beijing, that would mean half a month had already passed.

How had they only discovered this now?

"Not sure, and we don’t know in what condition Elder Tan currently is. After all, the person who sent the voice messages to Jiaojiao before was him, and the one who answered phone calls was him as well."

"It’s just that each time, the person answering the phone for him was Lin Menmen, and I always felt something was off. So, we need to head back to Beijing as quickly as possible."

"Then let’s go back tomorrow. The situation with Elder Tan and Jiaojiao seems urgent."

"No rush. We need to draw the snake out of the hole first."
