"Why are you here?" Ivy, who was originally accompanying her grandfather, was surprised to see Shawn quietly appear by her side. She quickly led him out of the hospital room. "Where's Assistant Luke?" Perhaps guessing Shawn's identity, Ivy felt a bit uncomfortable. Avoiding eye contact, she felt a bit annoyed inside but didn't express it. "He's handling something. I came on my own." "Then you should have brought someone with you." Ivy said. In the next moment, Shawn's hand had already grabbed hers. He placed her hand on his face, lifting his profile slightly and rubbed against it. "There's been some trouble, and I couldn't wait to come see you." He explained, and the warmth from her palm eased the icy chill in his heart. Feeling the cold emanating from his entire body, Ivy subconsciously touched his other cheek and forehead. "What happened? Are you running a fever?" Following that, her body fell into his embrace. Ivy was startled by the cold fragrance he exuded, feeling both uncomfortable about the matter of his true identity and wanting to push him away. "Don't push me away." Shawn changed the hug into a deep embrace, his voice low and muffled. "Let me hold you for a few minutes." He sounded so pitiful and helpless. After a while of struggling, Ivy sighed softly and stopped pushing him away, instead gently stroking his hair. "Will you leave me?" A muffled voice suddenly came from his arms, causing Ivy's body to tremble. She instinctively tried to push Shawn away, but the hand around her waist tightened even more. After contemplating for a while, Ivy sighed, "As long as you don't lie to me." This was an unsolvable problem. As long as he didn't lie to her. That meant, once she discovered that she had been deceived by him, leaving was inevitable. The thought of this possibility made Shawn's heart ache intensely. He didn't dare to think further and quickly changed the subject, saying, "You should go back and get busy. I still have some other matters to attend to. I'll come to pick you up later." "Uh..." Ivy separated her emotional thoughts and wanted to roll her eyes."So, you came all the way in a wheelchair just for these few minutes of hugging?" she questioned. "Yes!" Shawn's handsome face was determined and sincere. "Your hug, your scent, have a magical power. A few minutes in your arms and all worries disappear." "Are you not happy?" Ivy rubbed his still somewhat furrowed eyebrows and frowned. "I was a moment ago, but not anymore." Shawn smiled, leaned down, and kissed her arm for a long time. Reluctantly, he let go of her. "I'll leave now and be back soon." "Alright." Ivy watched Shawn leave with a smile until his figure disappeared from her sight. The smile on her lips faded, replaced by a complex and indescribable melancholy. "Ivy, what's wrong?" Lilith, who had just finished her check-up, walked out and saw Ivy standing in the corridor in a daze. She curiously waved her hand in front of Ivy, but even after waiting for a long time, Ivy didn't snap out of it. "Ivy?!" Lilith raised her voice. This time, Ivy finally returned to reality. She silently stared at Lilith for a long time before saying, "In a few days, my grandfather is preparing a dinner. You must cancel all your appointments and accompany me. No leave is allowed!" "Alright, alright, no leave is allowed." Lilith laughed as she was teased. "Just hurry up and cure your psychological illness and go back to work. If you continue like this, you'll be bored to death." "Still staring at the air." Seeing that Ivy was still looking straight ahead, Lilith grabbed her arm and pulled her along. Shawn gave an order, and Luke quickly entered the room, whispering, "Mr. Tate, besides the dirty things he did to your mother, Lisa also mentioned that when she secretly plotted against you at the First Hospital years ago, she had seen the financial data in the finance office. She said that there is a suspicion of money laundering..." "Money laundering?" Jasson was both shocked and excited. "This is a crime that will lead to imprisonment. Adding murder, Bob Alter is on the fast track to the death penalty. Luke, did she mention the amount of money involved in the laundering?" "Hundreds of billions." "What?" Jasson's excitement turned into disbelief. He looked at Shawn, and cold sweat formed on his forehead. "Shawn, fortunately, you left the Alter family back then, and fortunately, he didn't like you. If this evidence is really found, your life would have been ruined."Shawn remained silent for a while and then asked his assistant, "Is there any evidence?" Luke shook his head. "No. This is what Lisa brought up to gain favor. She said that if we investigate carefully, we will find loopholes." Shawn said, "Let Charlie investigate thoroughly in the hospital. If he is unwilling, show him videos and photos of his family. He won't dare to refuse." "Understood!" Luke quickly left the study and came back to Lisa. He squatted down, grabbed her chin, and asked, "Three years ago, during a major medical incident at City A First Hospital, what did you and Kevin do that night?" "That night, Kevin and I had a drink. The wine was a bit strong. We had sex five times in the hotel..." "Nonsense! How can a drunk person do that? Don't think I don't know!" Luke interrupted her. "Honestly, or I'll peel your skin!" Lisa was frightened by his threat. Her teeth chattered involuntarily. "That night, that night, we drank drugged wine... We were a bit tipsy and anxious. Later, he suddenly half-woke up and remembered he had a surgery, so he went back to the hospital." In the study, Jasson was confused. "That night's surgery was led by Ivy. How did it become Kevin?” After a moment of silence, Shawn said, "Have Charlie immediately check the records. Tell me if that night, City A First Hospital had two surgeries and if there were any strange incidents in the hospital after the surgery!" Luke quickly conveyed this command to Charlie. Because his family was being held hostage, Charlie didn't dare to resist. "Mr. Tate, Charlie says he needs some time," Luke reported. Shawn's face darkened. "He doesn't have the qualifications to negotiate with me now. I'll give him three hours. If he can do it, fine. If not, I'll disable his child's hand." "Understood!" Luke soon delivered Shawn's words to Charlie. Upon hearing this, Charlie cursed loudly, calling Shawn heartless. Luke scratched his ear, not taking this matter to heart, feeling that Charlie had lost his mind. When he chose to betray them back then, why didn't he think he lacked humanity?Unfortunately, three hours later, Charlie still hadn't brought any good news. "The meeting room where important files are stored in the hospital has a password. Even I don't have the password; I can't get in!" Charlie complained, his voice listless. "Give me some time. The Vice President in charge of the password, Edwin Hart, is in Spain. He needs to open it in person. But without a proper reason, he won't come back." "Edwin Hart..." Luke looked through the roster of City A First Hospital. Seeing Edwin's position listed as Executive Vice President, he already had a plan in mind. "There's more!" Charlie, still in a bad mood, said, "Three years ago, that night, there was no second surgery in the hospital. Kevin and Ivy were in the same surgery. Kevin was responsible for preparing the related drugs and tools. Why are you investigating this?" He felt that this matter had nothing to do with Shawn and DT Investment. He was somewhat surprised that Shawn was investigating this. "Could it be that you guys are trying to bring down the Alter family through this incident? Tell Shawn not to be naive. If such a trivial matter could bring them down, Alter Group would have collapsed three years ago!” "This matter has nothing to do with you. You just need to be ready at any time!" Luke didn't pay attention to Charlie's probing and instead warned him sternly. After hanging up the phone, he entered the study and reported this matter to Shawn. After contemplating for a moment, Shawn made a call to Dom. "I have something I'd like to ask for your help," Shawn said without waiting for Dom to speak. Dom smiled faintly. "Is this the attitude you use when asking for help?" "If you don't agree, I can ask Grandpa instead." Dom: "..." "Consider it a deal!" Shawn didn't give him a chance to refuse. "What's the matter?" "I need you to bring someone back to the country for the rehabilitation banquet hosted by Grandpa." Dom smiled slightly, “Who is this person?" Dom, having spent many years in the business world, quickly sensed the sensitivity of the information. "Is it related to the incident with Ivy three years ago, or is it related to your own affairs?" "It's intertwined, both have implications, and both are critical.""Alright, I'll help you," Dom agreed. After hanging up the phone, Jasson looked at the information on Edwin Hart displayed on the iPad. With his sharp instincts, he quickly noticed that something was amiss. "Shawn, take a look at this. Edwin, apart from being the Executive Vice President of City A First Hospital, his wife's younger brother fully owns a financial investment company overseas. Over the years, they have focused on investing in biomedicine, but what I've found suggests money laundering..." After finishing his words, he handed the iPad to Shawn. After scanning it, Shawn's gaze deepened. "Help me investigate Edwin's influence and network in England and Spain. If I'm not mistaken, this is a bait for a big fish." "Just bait?" Jasson didn't understand. "I thought he was the big fish." "A true big fish wouldn't personally manage the office password. He's just a tool. After the incident, he'll be pulled out to take the blame." "I'll thoroughly investigate Edwin's connections," Jasson assured. Shawn glanced at the sky outside and then at his watch. He rubbed his aching eyes and said, "I should go back. First, control Lisa; don't let her run away." "Understood." ***
