Han Xinrui was so anxiously rushed for two reasons. First, he worried about his brother, afraid that something might have happened to him; second, he was eagerly awaiting the news his brother was to bring back, hoping that Gong Juechen was indeed their nephew.
Just when Han Xinrui thought his brother would not be back for a while, Han Xinche returned.
Han Xinche had come back, but with a look of defeat.
As soon as he returned, he took off the black mask from his face and threw it on the table, exasperated, "That Gong Juechen truly lives up to his reputation for medical expertise. I had just started to release sleeping smoke into his room when he noticed and called for people, forcing me to retreat the way I came."
Upon hearing this, Han Xinrui understood what his brother meant and immediately his shoulders slumped, drained of strength.
