<h4>Chapter 1382: Nianyao and Mo Xicheng (55)</h4>


    Mo Xicheng’s head snapped up when he heard these words. “What did you say?”


    “I said that the hoteldy told me on the phone that Ms. Shi turned up at noon. But they weren’t sure if something unpleasant happened in the private room, because she left very shortly afterwards and did not eat any of the food that they ordered.”


    Mo Xicheng got up on his feet at once and furrowed his brow.


    Pursing his lips tightly, he suddenly remembered how Shi Nianyao had sounded like she had wanted to say something and then had ended up not doing so.


    So had she been about to tell him something about this matter?


    His cell phone line had been busy all morning, he had not been able to get in touch with Shi Nianyao. So Shi Nianyao had gone to the hotel on her own, and then had entered the private room.


    The person in the private room then...


    Mo Xicheng looked at the floor expressionlessly and said after a long pause, “So who was the person dining in the private room?”


    Xiao Chen reacted immediately andmunicated with the hotel worker. It didn’t take long for the hotel to retrieve the pictures taken from the surveince camera. They forwarded the pictures to Xiao Chen.


    Mo Xicheng had worn his mask and sunsses when he had been at the hotel.


    The person in the picture had none of that so at one nce, they could tell who it was. It was Mo Zhi!


    But how had Mo Zhi ended up in the private room and even known they were having lunch there at noon?


    Mo Xicheng suddenly recalled what Xiao Chen had said, that Yao Lili had asked about his schedule.


    Then he thought about how Yao Lili had been hounding him all day, since she was hospitalized. She had insisted on talking to him so that he had no chance ofmunicating with Shi Nianyao to inform her not to wait for him, or look for him at the hotel.


    He clenched his fists tightly, at once understanding what had happened.


    Yao Lili wasn’t sick at all. She was just muzzling him so that Mo Zhi could have a chance to be alone with Shi Nianyao.


    Once this was clear, all the pieces fell into ce.


    Mo Xicheng spun around as the checkup room door opened. Following this, Yao Lili was pushed out on her trolley bed.


    Mo Xicheng stood rooted to the ground, although Xiao Chen walked up to greet the woman. “Auntie Yao, what happened to you? You were fine before and now you’re suddenly hospitalized?”


    Yao Lili sighed in response and said, “I’m getting old, my body is breaking down! I’m always feeling giddy and light-headed, and it’s getting hard to walk.”


    Upon hearing these words, Xiao Chen looked up anxiously and asked the doctor, “Doctor, what exactly is wrong with Auntie Yao?”


    When the attending doctor was asked this question, he looked slightly embarrassed and cleared his throat. He exined, “We’ve performed aplete check-up of the patient. Her blood pressure is normal and her body is functioning normally. So for now, we don’t really know what’s wrong. We can only conclude that it might be a migraine. She could be suffering from certain deficiencies in her body, but we can’t determine that with western medicine. Alternatively, you could go to a good Chinese physician to have it looked at.”


    Xiao Chen was nervous at once and asked, “How could you not find an answer?”


    Yao Lili immediately said, “I’m getting old. When I delivered my baby years ago, I got a cold and after that I had frequent headaches. Doctor, do you think it might be because of that?”


    “It’s hard for me to say either way.”


    The attending doctor had obviously been put in a difficult position.


    And Mo Xicheng, who had been listening to all of this on the side, was looking intently at Yao Lili as she tried very hard to find excuses for her fake illness. He looked at the woman who was pretending to be frail and unwell, and his heart suddenly grew cold.
