Chapter 544: Chapter 544: The Secret of Lan Ruikang
But Qiao Yin was unable to sleep for a long time.
Her inner calm did not match what she outwardly displayed. Her pain and torment were invisible to others.
The blindness and fractures from the car accident, along with the severe pain in her head, were all torturing her.
But the physical pain could not alleviate her emotional pain. From Lu Lingche’s words tonight, she perceived that he likely already knew that the person who had caused her accident was his mother, Madam Lu.
That’s why he had apologized.
It was his own mother, so no matter what Madam Lu had done, he would stand up for her.
Revenge was something she could only count on herself for.
So, today she was especially determined to set boundaries with him. She truly did not want to see him again.
The next time they met, they would be enemies.
Qiao Yin felt like crying and laughing at the same time. Fate was playing tricks on her. She used to yearn to marry Lu Lingche, strived to be close to him, but he was always cold to her.
Now, she was trying hard to get away from him, but he had changed. He became gentle, bowing his head to her, trying to get close to her.
With these thoughts swirling in her head, it took a long while for Qiao Yin to finally fall asleep.
Now since she couldn’t see, she wasn’t aware of the time. She had only slept for a while when she heard the door to her ward open. It seemed like her grandmother and great-grandmother had come to check on her before leaving again, probably to avoid disturbing her and Lu Yanxi’s sleep.
She felt incredibly guilty towards her grandmother. The aged woman had to share in her fear and worry, and also endure the strenuous process of getting her eyes treated.

Nine in the morning.
As soon as Lu Lingche arrived at the corporation, his assistant reported, “President Lu, Director Lan is here.”
Lu Lingche nodded, “Where is he?”
“In the reception room.”
“Let’s go!”
The assistant immediately followed him to the reception room.
As soon as they walked in, Lan Ruikang hastily stood up, “President Lu, any news about the runaway driver?”
Seeing his appearance, Lu Lingche was somewhat surprised.
Lan Ruikang, as the director of Lan’s Hospital, always presented himself as a refined and healthy gentleman. He was always neatly put together, and his spirit was usually upbeat.
But now, he didn’t even shave or change clothes. His eyes were red, and he looked completely exhausted.
Not to mention his disheveled hair, but it had even turned completely white in a matter of a couple of days!
It seemed like he truly loved his female student. When she died, Lan Ruikang collapsed.
Seeing this, it seemed like the “secret” he mentioned was indeed valuable.
“Director Lan, I’ve found the driver you were looking for,” revealed Lu.
Lan Ruikang was invigorated, “Really?!”
“Really.”
“Where’s the driver? I want to meet him now!”
“Director Lan, it seems you’ve forgotten our deal.”
“President Lu, I should see the man first, right? Besides, our deal includes two parts. You also need to help me find the instigator behind the driver. I want to know who exactly killed my student.”
“Director Lan, I’ve fulfilled half of your request based on the terms of our deal. As for the other half, it depends on whether the secret you have is worth my efforts. If you don’t come clean, then our deal is off. I’m not in the business of losing money.”
“This…”
Lan Ruikang hesitated.
He feared that once he revealed the secret, Lu Lingche might not help him.
However, he also knew that if he didn’t say anything, Lu Lingche wouldn’t lift a finger to help him.
After contemplating for a while, his overwhelming urge for revenge for his lover prevailed, “Fine, President Lu, I will tell you the secret first. But, you can’t back out. You must help me fulfill my other request too!”
“Rest assured, Director Lan. As long as your secret has value, I will help you.”
With his teeth clenched, Lan Ruikang said in a low voice, “President Lu, have you ever wondered what’s wrong with my daughter, Yuyi?”
