When she saw those words, Zhou Tong's face flushed and even the hand holding her mouse trembled. Then, just when she was about to send something else, the cell phone on the table rang.

She was startled and hastily picked up the phone. The three words: "Editor-in-chief" leapt out at her from the screen.

"Zhou Tong, either start shutting up, or resign."

When she heard the cold voice coming from the phone, Zhou Tong's red face blanched.

"Editor-in-chief! If you don't have the courage, you will be surrounded by public opinion!" she yelled anxiously.

"Public opinion?" The person on the other end laughed coldly, "Take a look on Weibo and then repeat that!"

He hung up the phone and she heard beeping. Zhou Tong blanked out.

Weibo? Wasn't he talking about Lu Xi's post? Was there some other news?

Wondering about this, she hurriedly opened Weibo. After being abuzz with speculations, the Internet had suddenly calmed; it was almost like undercurrents in a lake that were trapped underneath, leaving behind only a tranquil and motionless surface.

And all of this stemmed from one Weibo post.

Su Yue (V): Choose one, resign or shut up.

The accompanying picture was… the acquiral contract of Apple Entertainment.

Su Yue…

Zhou Tong suddenly sobered up.

Before, when Zhou Tong first started this, she had lost her mind due to the ambition she had to make her mark in journalism and the many netizens who agreed with her stance. She had only considered that Lu Xi was someone who was only a part of the entertainment circle. Thus, he would not ignore the pressure of public opinion and show his hand like that. But she had forgotten Su Jin's status.

Compared to the Lu family that was as high as the sky, the Su family – as one of three major clans in Shenhai City – was the true sharp sword suspended above their heads.

Sure enough, the people of the Su family would not watch on pa.s.sively.

What else could she do? With a pale face, she lost herself in a daze before she finally pressed the word "Cancel" shakily.

At the same time as Zhou Tong – who had finally come to her senses with this news – was deciding not to report on this anymore, Su Yue, who was the mastermind behind resolving this matter, was receiving a call from his future brother-in-law.

"Brother Su, you made your move a bit too quickly," Lu Xi said to the man on the other end as he gritted his teeth.

"If I wasn't quick, wouldn't I just be waiting for you to make your own move instead?" Su Yue softly chuckled as he looked at the cancelled account and relaxed against the back of his chair.

"Forget it. I won't bicker with you about this." Lu Xi magnanimously replied, "Did you know Ming Xuan has a little twin brother?"

"Ming Xuan? Twin brother?" Su Yue was shocked and immediately stood up from his genuine leather chair.

"Yep, apparently he was kidnapped by the lover when he was just born. Even now his whereabouts are unknown."

"Unknown whereabouts…" Su Yue's face went through several changes before he sat back down, as if he had undergone some struggle. "From how badly Uncle Ming desires control of the Ming family, he must have realized very quickly that the child had gone missing and had begun to look for the child. Since the Ming family has probably already been searching for so many years, and yet the child still hasn't turned up, what's the use of telling me this now?"

"Aren't you curious how I know this?" Lu Xi then went silent for a while and didn't provide him with an answer, instead asking another question.

His question had Su Yue at a loss.

Right. How did Lu Xi know about this? The Su family has had strong roots in Shenhai City for so many years, but even he had not heard about this. It was enough to show how deeply this matter had been hidden by the Ming family. No matter how powerful the Lu family was, as an outsider, Lu Xi couldn't have found this information easily, right?

"Jin'er told me." Seeing that the other hadn't replied for a long time, Lu Xi had put it out in the open.

"She didn't want to see you sad, so she asked Ming Xuan if there was any way for things to change for the better. Ming Xuan saw her persistence and brought up this old, guarded matter."

"Xiao Jin…" Su Yue softly mumbled.

"She clearly places her hopes on such an uncertain issue, but Jin'er has never given up. Su Yue, don't let Jin'er's kind intentions go to waste."

Lu Xi's voice was a little low. From that time when he had called him elder brother Su rather shamelessly, this was actually the first time he had called his name unrestrainedly.

Su Yue did not mind about this, his unfocused eyes looked out the window as images of his little sister surfaced in his mind. She… was clearly still a child…

His heart was suddenly filled with warmth. Sure enough, she had grown up. The girl whom they had all spoiled had actually developed these thoughts and intentions.

But…

"The last time Xiao Jin visited Ming Xuan was probably a pretty long time ago. Now that you're telling me this, could it be-." Su Yue's eyebrows slightly rose as light flashed through his black pupils, "There's some news?"

When he heard this, Lu Xi was thrown off for a moment before laughing, "You truly deserve to be called big brother Su!"

"He has been identified through facial recognition, but they haven't confirmed it yet. I just wanted to let you know beforehand."

"Really… they have almost identified him?" Su Yue's right hand fiercely grasped the armrest on his chair, his black pupils suffused with shocked happiness.

To be honest, his words from a moment ago had only been said to tease his future brother-in-law. After all, the Ming family had searched for so many years. Even if Lu Xi got involved, this wasn't something that could happen overnight. But no one could have expected that…

"Don't get excited!" Lu Xi was somewhat helpless, "I was afraid you would get too excited, so I gave you a heads up. For now, they still aren't sure of the news. While you are raising your hopes, you're also setting yourself up for disappointment if those hopes end up dashed."

"That's how the saying goes, but…" Su Yue couldn't help himself from chuckling, "According to your personality, if you weren't sure, why would you call me?"

"When will it be confirmed?" His voice was somewhat eager as he continued.

"Probably tomorrow." Lu Xi replied firmly, "Once there's any news, I'll let you know."

"Alright." Su Yue nodded and before Lu Xi hung up, he softly said, "Thank you."

Lu Xi's lips slightly rose and he hung up.

Early morning the next day, a few lead actors from the cast and crew gathered at the hospital.

Even Lu Xi and Su Jin were not exceptions.

The doctor responsible for treating Xue Kai, Dr. Sun, was a little startled at first upon seeing this crowd, then, he recomposed himself.

"Mr. Xue's sickness has already been diagnosed. It is indeed leukemia, but…" He laughed, "I have some good news."

"Have you found a matching bone marrow donor?" Ji Min anxiously asked, her eyes brightening.

"Bone marrow?" Dr. Sun was confused.

"Is that not it?" Ji Min bit her lips, her face becoming a little pale.

For someone with leukemia, besides finding an appropriate bone marrow donor, was there anything else that could be considered good news?

"There is indeed someone who matches his bone marrow." Dr. Sun shook his head, "But the good news I had in mind wasn't this. According to Mr. Xue's bone marrow biopsy, we have finally diagnosed it as M3 leukemia."

M3 leukemia?

Everyone there looked at each other, bewildered. What was so special about… M3?

"M3?" Su Jin's eyes shone, "Can it be cured?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked over to her.

"You know of this?" Dr. Sun laughed as he nodded.

"In the past, my internal medicine doctor had talked about it." Su Jin smiled.

"It seems like you are a medicine major." Dr. Sun chuckled, delicate wrinkles around his eyes. However, he was extremely happy, "The girl is right. M3 leukemia is the only type of leukemia right now that can be cured without having to undergo a bone marrow transplant."

In the end, he still sighed, "Mr. Xue's luck is pretty good."

"How long do you think it will take for him to be cured?" Ji Min asked.

"Theoretically, it could be completely gone in about two years."

When they heard the doctor's response, everyone's expressions slightly relaxed. Even Ji Min's face wore a small smile.

Even though it was still serious, and it would take a longer time to recover, the final sentence surpa.s.sed their original expectations.

"Dr. Sun," Lu Xi finally asked, "Can you tell us who the bone marrow match is?"

"The match?" Dr. Sun was confused for a moment before nodding. "Of course."

"Let me look for it." He took out his cell phone and found his memos, "Now that I've aged, my memory has gotten worse and worse…"

"Oh, I found it." Dr. Sun lifted his head and said, "The name is Ming Xuan."
