"What?" The couple were driven out of the alley and stood on the roadside, looking at each other.
"Ahem, old man, are we late? They're not going to treat me anymore? Ahem," the woman asked, coughing several times in one sentence.
"Don't worry, I'll call Miss Xiaocai to ask," the uncle said, taking out a button-operated mobile phone from his pocket and calling Xiaocai.
The woman beside him was coughing desperately.
The call finally went through on the second try, and Xiaocai's impatient voice came from the other end, "What is it? Haven't you found the place yet?"
The uncle said quickly, "Miss Xiaocai, we found the place, but the clinic said it's closed and moving away?"
"What? So soon? Wait a moment," Xiaocai said, turning back into the house to find Ye Zisu with a hint of joy.
Ye Zisu was practicing the piano. She was preparing to play a piece at the XS Group's new product launch event for Qin Beiting, to show outsiders how close the uncle and nephew were.
But the original piece of music was not going smoothly, and she was getting frustrated. Xiaocai's sudden intrusion completely broke her train of thought, and she was very angry.
"Are you in such a hurry to reincarnate!"
Xiaocai flinched her head and then said, "Third Miss, Yu Xianyi Clinic is closed!"
Ye Zisu: "What?"
"Didn't you ask me to find a special patient to patronize their clinic? They just went, but they said the clinic is closed!" Xiaocai said, "It seems the landlady is really something!"
Ye Zisu's face slightly stiffened. She felt that things couldn't be that simple. It was possible that the two nurses in the clinic were driven out, but Yu He wouldn't be driven out by an old woman so easily.
"Did you have someone confirm it?" she asked.
Xiaocai hesitated for a moment. Ye Zisu knew she hadn't, and said sternly, "You dare to say it if you're not sure?
"Yes, I'll have someone go and see right away," Xiaocai immediately made a call.
After a while, she came back and said, "Third Miss, it's confirmed this time. Although Yu Xianyi Clinic is not officially closed, it's almost there. I just had someone go and ask, and they said they are not accepting patients for the time being and are moving the clinic. It seems they were indeed driven out by that landlady."
Thinking of Yu He being driven out in such a sorry state, Ye Zisu felt a lot more comfortable. "Good!"
"What about that patient now?" Xiaocai asked.
"For now, find a place for them to stay. Wait until they move, then let them find them again, and then give them a devastating blow," Ye Zisu said casually.
"Are we really going to keep them? That old woman is a patient with active sputum, infectious tuberculosis," Xiaocai said with some apprehension.
"Just make sure to isolate them properly. What's with all the nonsense, hurry up and go, don't disturb my practice," Ye Zisu rebuked.
Although Xiaocai was reluctant to deal with it, tuberculosis could be fatal if it was serious!
But she had taken Ye Zisu's money, so she had no choice but to go. In the end, she had to brace herself and have someone handle it.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial One Hotel.
Yueyue and Duoduo got out of the car. It was mealtime, and there were many people coming and going. The two little ones followed the crowd into the hotel.
Then they went straight to the large banquet hall on the fourth floor.
Workers were decorating the venue in the banquet hall. Qi Xifeng and Chen Dong were there, but Qin Beiting was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh? Where's Daddy?" Duoduo asked, confused. "I'll go ask Daddy's assistant."
As she said this, she was about to rush in to find Chen Dong, but Yueyue stopped her.
"Wait. If you rush in like this, you'll definitely be kicked out by the staff," Yueyue said.
"They'll kick me out even if I'm this cute?" Duoduo said, cupping her face.
Yueyue: "..."
Mom wasn't narcissistic, so where did she get this narcissism from?
He beckoned Duoduo to come closer, and then whispered in her ear, "When Assistant Chen comes out later, you..."
Duoduo's eyes lit up after hearing this. "As expected of my brother, this idea is great!"
Yueyue's lips curved into a smile. "Let's go."
"Mm-hmm," Duoduo nodded and left the banquet hall entrance with him.
Chen Dong, who was discussing matters inside, received a message on his phone with a "ding."
[Come to the stairwell.]
The message was from an unknown number, but the tone sounded like someone familiar.
Who is it?
Chen Dong looked confused but decided to go out and see.
After all, this was his private number, and besides very close people, outsiders didn't know it.
He reached the stairwell, but there was no one there. He opened the stairwell door, and there was still no one.
He took out his phone and was about to ask who it was when a little bun rushed over and threw a handful of white powder at him.
"Cough, cough..." Chen Dong coughed, but he still managed to grab the culprit. "Where did you come from, you wild child? How dare you play pranks here!"
Duoduo, wearing a mask and goggles, was completely covered. She didn't run. After the powder dissipated, she took off her mask and goggles and said with a grin, "Uncle Chen, hello, it's me~"
Chen Dong saw it was this child again and suddenly had a headache. He took a step back and was about to turn away when he looked back and saw Yueyue, who looked almost identical to Duoduo, blocking the way behind her.
How could these two children be so elusive?
"Uncle Chen, you've been hit with my specially made itchy powder. There's no antidote. You'll be itchy all the time, so you have to listen to us obediently, or I won't give you the antidote!" Duoduo said threateningly, with her hands on her hips.
But because she was so cute, she was not threatening at all, except for looking incredibly adorable.
If they weren't Esther's children, Chen Dong would have found them very cute. But thinking that he had refused Esther's appointment, and she still pestered him, even sending her children to do this, he found it quite annoying.
"Seventh Master doesn't want to see your mother, so don't waste your energy. If you cause any more trouble, I'll call security to take you away, do you hear me?" Chen Dong said sternly.
Duoduo blinked and looked at him, then asked instead of answering, "Uncle Chen, aren't you itchy?"
Chen Dong inexplicably felt himself. "Not itchy..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he instinctively scratched his neck.
Once he started scratching, he couldn't stop. The more he scratched, the itchier it became, and the itchier it became, the more he wanted to scratch.
"You! What did you do?" Chen Dong was itching all over.
"I told you, it's my specially made itchy powder. Without the antidote, you'll be itchy forever! Moreover, this itch can be contagious! If you find someone else to treat it, you'll only spread it to them," Duoduo said, shaking a small bottle in her hand. "The antidote is here. As long as you listen to us obediently, I'll give you the antidote."
Chen Dong wanted to leave, but Yueyue blocked the stairwell door. "You can't go out, or you'll infect others. You can only be isolated here!"
Chen Dong took out his phone, wanting to contact someone, but found that there was no signal!
"The fourth floor is being decorated for XS Group's new product launch in two days. It's not open to outsiders these days, so no one will come here. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, no one will come."
Yueyue said with a serious expression, "Even if someone notices you're missing and comes looking for you, by then, you'll probably be in shock from the itching, and in severe cases, you might scratch your blood vessels open and die."
Chen Dong couldn't help but shudder. How did this little brat's seriousness resemble the boss so much?!
And dying from scratching blood vessels open, how terrifying would that be!
He couldn't stand the itching anymore. He never thought that his lifetime of fame would end up with him surrendering to two children. "Tell me, what do you really want?"
