Shen Peichuan approached the doctor and asked about Zong Qifeng’s deteriorating condition.

Dr. Jiang nodded grimly. “I’m afraid tonight may be his last. His condition is deteriorating quickly.”

Shen Peichuan maintained his composure as he held onto Sang Yu’s hands. “Once you enter the house, act as if you don’t know about it. Just do whatever that’s expected of you.”

With the gifts in his hands, he asked, “Dr. Jiang, aren’t you going in?”

Dr. Jiang replied, “I’m getting some fresh hair. I’ll return in a while.”

Shen Peichuan nodded before entering together with Sang Yu.
