Dou Jingning headed elsewhere with his phone to answer the call.

Dou Zerui looked at him leaving and whispered to Dou Xiangling,
"Say, why did Lu Jungkook call First Uncle at this time?"

How could Dou Xiangling possibly know?

Dou Zerui made a guess.
"Perhaps he had gotten to know of grandfather's situation and specially made a call to check up on him. After all, he's..."

Speaking up to here, he glanced at the people surrounding him and subconsciously lowered his voice.
"He's Lili's boyfriend."

Dou Zerui admired Jungkook's behavior even though he did not wish for his cousin to date him.

Dou Jingning returned very soon with a livid expression.

Everyone was surprised to see his expression.

"Eldest Uncle, what's wrong?"
Dou Xiangling asked in concern.

Dou Jingning said,
"Little Zi is getting attacked all over the net."

"What?!"

Dou Zerui and Dou Xiangling raised their voices.

Even the expressions of Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan sitting beside them had darkened.

They stood up concurrently and Dou Xiaoyong asked,
"What did they write about her?"

Dou Jingning gave them a simple rundown.

Dou Xiaoyong sneered.
"What does our family business have to do with those outsiders? This won't do, I can't watch on and see Little Zi getting attacked."

Ever since last night's incident, their attitude towards Lisa had changed drastically.

When they heard of Lisa getting attacked all over the net, they were also furious.

Someone hastily checked their social media, and everyone finally discovered what had happened.

"Someone must be deliberately trolling her. The netizens were originally discussing that car of hers and later on, someone exposed her past."

"Do they simply have nothing better to do?!"

The more they talked, the angrier they got.

Dou Jingning spoke up.
"All of you, quieten down."

He then said to Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan,
"Reporters have flooded the hospital entrance. The three of us shall go and clarify on Lisa's behalf."

Dou Xiaoyong and Dou Zhiyuan nodded in unison.

Thus, the three of them headed towards the elevator.

In fact, the others had also wanted to tag along but Dou Jingning turned around and said,
"Stay here. Jungkook has already made arrangements down there and it'll cause more trouble than help with too many people."

Having said that, he told Dou Xiangling,
"Xiangling, go upstairs and keep guard. If Little Zi comes out from the office, don't let her leave first."

Dou Xiangling hastily stood up.
"I understand."

...

Regardless of how big of a commotion happened outside, the group of people sitting in the office had a serious expression. Each and every one of them had a notebook and a pen in their hands.

That's right, they were taking notes.

She explained to them the emergency procedures for cerebral hemorrhage and the treatment plan.

The treatment method she revealed to them had overturned what they had known and all of them were flushed with excitement.

After she finally managed to get them to understand, after much difficulty, Deputy Pang excitedly asked,
"Little Zi, that medical equipment you made was able to effectively control the bleeding and... I believe that the equipment does not exist in either our hospital or the whole medical industry. How did you build it?"

Obviously, she would not say that she was from the Interstella era. In the end, she talked rubbish with a serious expression.
"I like reading books related to this field and I am also interested in various medical instruments. Therefore, I had combined various medical cases to come up with it. Also, I would often purchase tools to try building it and that was how the medical equipment came about. It must have been because I was under pressure last night that I was somehow able to create it."

Elder Dou was her grandfather, and that it was normal for Lisa to be anxious upon seeing her grandfather in critical condition. In the end, they believed in her explanation.

However...

"Little Zi is truly talented with medical equipment. If you are interested, you can come to our First Hospital's medical equipment storage room to play around."

In any case, someone would pay for the bill even if it gets damaged.

Deputy Pang recalled the promise Jungkook made and did not feel any pressure when he made the suggestion.

Lisa glanced at Director Pang. Even though she did not know what Kook had said to him, the medical equipment in this hospital was indeed pretty good. She merely pondered for a moment and agreed to it.

After having stayed up all night and skipping dinner last night, she was not intending to speak another additional word after this.

The specialists could do nothing to persuade her and so, they allowed her to leave.

Before she left, Qiao He called out to Lisa,
"Little Zi, are you that student who entered through M.Uni's Independent Enrollment with the top scores?"

Lisa responded with an affirmative.

Qiao He smiled and said,
"Your medical skills are pretty good. I think that you will have a bright future if you study in the Medical School.

She looked at him.

He added,
"I am a specially appointed professor of the M.Uni's Medical School and I usually give lectures there. If you have the inclination in this field, you can come look for me."

"I'm not interested."
She did not intend to beat around the bush and she directly rejected his offer.
"I'm only interested in medical equipment. I'm not at all interested in studying medicine."

Qiao He was somewhat disappointed at her reply, but he could not possibly force her. In the end, he said,
"You can consider it. In fact, having medical skills is beneficial for you, your relatives, and your friends."

"Okay."

Only then did they walk out of the office and Qiao He struck up another conversation.
"You're not interested in medicine but you have a vast knowledge about it. Little Zi, you're a treasure."

Just as Lisa wanted to reply, she saw Dou Xiangling standing in the corridor and she was obviously waiting for her.

She said to Qiao He,
"I'll make a move first."

Qiao He nodded and said,
"Little Zi, come over and play sometime."

She did not feel anything after hearing that. Instead, Dou Xiangling had looked towards Qiao He in surprise.

It had to be known that Qiao He was the gold medal Chief Physician in the First Hospital and he usually had a serious attitude. He would never appear to be so enthusiastic and kind to a person.

She merely faintly responded and came over to Dou Xiangling's side.

Dou Xiangling looked at her with a complicated gaze.

However, Lisa asked,
"Do you have anything to eat?"

In fact, Dou Xiangling indeed had something. She took out two pieces of chocolate from her handbag and passed them to her.
"If you're hungry, we can eat something at the canteen."

"No, I'll go home and eat."

Lisa then tore the wrapping and stuffed one piece of chocolate into her mouth and passed the other back to Dou Xiangling.

Dou Xiangling revealed a smile and took the chocolate and the both of them headed to the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Lisa directly pressed the first story.

Dou Xiangling's eyelids twitched and hastily stopped her.
"Lili, you're not planning to see Grandpa first?"

She blinked her drowsy eyes.
"He's still in the ICU and the Chief Physician said he would update me about his condition. What's there to visit him for?"

Dou Xiangling pursed her lips and kept quiet for a moment as she tried her best to come up with an excuse.
"Even if you can't visit Grandpa right now, you should at least greet the rest of the family?"

"Im not going. I don't know them well."

She was truly unfamiliar with the rest of the Dou Family members. Perhaps she might even be unwelcomed if she went to greet them. She was not a fool to be a scarecrow[1] and be a target of their criticism.

[1] Someone who just stands there.

โ


Dou Xiangling was a little impatient to see Lisa insisting on leaving the hospital and directly grabbed her arm.

She stared at her for three seconds and asked firmly,
"Did something happen?"

"No... huh? Lili, what are you doing?"

Lisa took out her phone.
"Since you are unwilling to say, I'll check it out myself."

Dou Xiangling knew she could no longer hide things from her and could only reveal what had happened.

She had also surfed the net to check the situation. All the negative information about her had been taken down by someone and she went to check the past history of what had happened.

"Lili, there's no need to worry. Eldest Uncle and the rest have already gone out to solve this matter."

"Okay."
Lisa looked calm and there was not the slightest trace of anger on her face.

The elevator reached the first floor and they headed out together.

It was currently dawn and only the emergency entrance of the hospital was open.

The two of them headed towards the emergency entrance.

At that moment, beside Dou Jingtong who was rushing into the hospital, the remaining three stood at the entrance similar to three towering mountains Opposite them was a group of reporters that were blocked by another group of bodyguards and police officers.

The three of them had been engaged in education for numerous years and they naturally exuded a stern aura. Those tabloid reporters who had already typed out a draft of the article dared not ask a single question they had wanted to ask.

Just then, a sharp-eyed reporter saw her walking out and he shouted in excitement,
"Zi Lisa has come out!"

His words were like a switch. Those who dared not utter a single word immediately became excited and were about to rush towards her.

Dou Xiaoyong sternly shouted,
"Be quiet."

The reporters were unable to enter due to the bodyguards and police officers blocking their way. They could only direct their cameras towards Lisa.

Dou Xiangling subconsciously blocked Lisa at the sight of such a situation.

She looked at those reporters that were known as paparazzi and revealed a sneer.

She unhurriedly took out her phone and tapped on it.

Just then, someone among the group of reporters exclaimed.
"Why did my camera go black?"

What followed after was a wave of commotion.

Following that, she put her phone away and patted Dou Xiangling's stiff body.
"Cousin, there's no need to worry."

Having said that, she headed towards the direction of the paparazzi.

Lisa glanced across those reporters who were anxiously fixing their cameras and a chilly glint flashed through her eyes.

Just then, Dou Jingning sternly asked,
"Why did you come out?"

"I'm going home."

After she said that, she took out her car keys and pressed a button.

The car park was located right outside the hospital and her car was parked near the entrance. The headlights flashed when she unlocked her car.

Everyone subconsciously turned to look at it.

Immediately after, their eyes and mouths widened in shock as they saw the racing car flying in their direction and parking beside Lisa,

"Oh heavens!" A reporter shouted all of a sudden and the others also recovered their senses.

All of them looked at her in excitement.

One of them asked,
"Miss Zi, who gave you this car? How is it capable of flying in the sky?"

Lisa gave him a cold stare.
"What do you mean who gave it to me? I'm rich, so why do I need people to give me a car?"

When Zi Yi said that she was rich, that self-confidence of hers inexplicably made them recall the money she had earned from the international racing competition.

Rumor has it, the sum amounted to billions!

"Miss Zi, many netizens suspect that you had used special means during the competition. You..."

"Shut up!"
Lisa sneered. "You bunch of paparazzi. Do you believe I can't make you feel what it's like to get attacked over the net?"

"Miss Zi, how could you say that? We are merely seeking the truth."

"That's right. If you talk nonsense, be careful of us exposing you!"

...

Dou Xiangling was so infuriated that she wanted to stand up and rebut them. However, Lisa stopped her from doing so.

She glanced at the group of reporters and the corner of her lips curled up.
"Expose? If you are so capable, I think you should try to fix your electronic devices first."

At first, everyone was stunned and subsequently, they subconsciously checked the cameras in their hands. Some of them had even taken out their phones.

Their expressions changed immediately after.

"What's going on? Why did my recorder stop?"

"Mine is broken too."

"Ahh! My phone is unresponsive!"

Dou Xiangling asked in a whisper, after she saw the confused reporters,
"Lili, did you do that?"

She tilted her head and gave her a wink.

Gone was her previous fierce expression and what remained was a teasing one.

Dou Xiangling laughed.

Just then, her three Uncles had turned to look at her. Just as they were about to speak, she said with a stern expression,
ย "I haven't slept all night, nor have I eaten. I'm tired and hungry right now."
What she meant was that she refused to talk right now.

The words that came to their lips were forcefully pushed back.

Dou Jingning remained silent for several seconds and said,
"Go and have a good rest. Come and visit your grandfather tomorrow."

Their niece was truly different from before. They had no reason to treat such an outstanding niece with cold attitudes.

Dou Xiangling was delighted to hear that and hastily nudged her arm.
"Lili, quick! Promise Eldest Uncle you'll come."

She glanced at Dou Xiangling who was happier than her and nodded towards Dou Jingning.

Following that, she headed for her car.

"Since you're tired and hungry, you shouldn't drive."
Dou Jingning then said,
"Get the bodyguard to drive you home."

"There's no need."
She had already opened the door when she said that. She then turned around and said,
"My car has an automatic navigation mode and I'll be traveling by air. Nothing will happen."

Having said that, she got in the car and it swiftly flew up in the skies. Under everyone's burning gazes, it flew off.

The reporters returned empty-handed and even all their electronic devices had malfunctioned. It made them feel very uncomfortable and they started hating Lisa as they intended to write articles to attack her.

So, what if she had a few uncles who were professors?

As long as they were fast enough, would they be afraid that they would be unable to attack her?

They did not believe people like the Dou Family members would do anything to them.

However, when these reporters made their way back, they finally understood what it meant by suffering a double loss after trying to trick the enemy. All their tabloid websites had suffered from a breach and at the same time, various illegal activities related to their companies were exposed.

Before 9 a.m in the morning, the disciplinary committee had directly paid them a visit to shut down the companies.

...

As soon as Lisa returned to the courtyard, the housekeeper came forward to welcome her.

"Miss Zi, you're back."

He saw the dark circles under her eyes and said with concern,
"After having breakfast, go and take a nap. Otherwise, your body might not be able to stand it.

She nodded and headed to the backyard.

Just as she went to rest, the housekeeper's phone rang. After taking a look at the caller ID, he hastily answered the call and respectfully called out,
"Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Lu had heard of what happened last night early in the morning. She originally planned to give Lisa a call but was worried that she might be resting. Therefore, she got her housekeeper to check up on the contact number of the housekeeper Jungkook had brought with him.

After she checked up on what Lisa was doing right now, Mrs. Lu was about to prepare soup for her upon hanging up. All of a sudden, she saw Lu Jianlin entering in a hurry and she asked, "Jianlin, what are you doing?"

Lu Jianlin continued walking upstairs as he said,
"I'll be away for a few days. Take good care of yourself during my absence."
