She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 264 Dr. Li, are you a ghost doctor?
Huo Junyan still had doubts about whether this Dr. Li was a ghost doctor, and even more doubts about her claim that she could cure his leg.

After his legs became disabled, he sought out countless famous doctors, many of whom claimed they could cure his legs but turned out to be swindlers who cheated him out of his money.

He feared that Dr. Li was the same way.

Back then, Huo Junyan received news of the Ghost Doctor and learned that only the Ghost Doctor could cure his legs, so he placed all his hopes on that mysterious Ghost Doctor.

It's unclear whether Dr. Li is a "ghost doctor" at the moment. Just taking his pulse and saying she can cure him doesn't prove she is a ghost doctor.

Huo Junyan grabbed Nan Yu's wrist, pulled her close, and looked her in the eye at a distance of only inches. He then spoke in a deep voice again.

"Dr. Li, are you a ghost doctor?"

Her dark eyes stared intently into those clear eyes.

Ignoring the restraints on her wrists, Nan Yu lifted her eyelids and met Huo Junyan's cold eyes behind his mask, eyes filled with distrust.

She raised an eyebrow, her aura no less imposing than his, and said, "Patriarch Huo, do you mean you only want the Ghost Doctor to treat your leg?"

For a moment, the entire study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

They were so close they could hear each other breathing.

As Chen Li watched this scene, she could almost see the lightning flash between them, a single misstep could leave someone charred black.

She swallowed nervously, carefully choosing her words.

"Master, Doctor Li..."

Just as he finished speaking, the bell in his hand rang, breaking the solemn atmosphere.

Huo Junyan glanced coldly at Chen Li, his eyes filled with displeasure.

Chen Li took out her phone and saw the name "Xia Xing" displayed on it. She quickly turned around and left the study to answer the call.

As Nan Yu watched Chen Li leave, her gaze fell on Huo Junyan's hand, which was gripping her wrist tightly.

Her gaze was shallow. "Patriarch Huo, have you held on long enough?"

Huo Junyan snapped out of his daze, saw the delicate white wrist in his palm, and abruptly released his grip.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Li." Nan Yu twisted her wrist, which had been pinched so hard, and slowly stood up, looking down at Huo Junyan, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Patriarch Huo, if you wanted to find the Ghost Doctor to treat your leg, why did you have Secretary Chen invite me here? Or do you think I am the Ghost Doctor?"

There was no extra emotion in his tone.

Huo Junyan looked up at her, and instead of answering, asked, "So, Dr. Li, are you a ghost doctor?"

This is the third time he has asked her this today.

Nan Yu stood there, silently watching him.

Huo Junyan looked at her intently, waiting for her answer.

After an unknown amount of time, her hoarse voice finally came through.

"I……"

Just as he uttered a single word, the sound of the study door opening came from outside.

Chen Li strode in from outside, her face beaming with joy.

"Master, the Ghost Doctor has agreed to meet and said he'll be here in half an hour."

The atmosphere froze again after these words were spoken.

Overwhelmed with surprise, Chen Li suddenly came to her senses and realized that Nan Yu was still there.

She quickly smiled awkwardly at Nan Yu and said, "Dr. Li, I'm sorry. I always thought you were a ghost doctor, so I specially invited you to come and treat the patriarch's leg ailment."

“Vice President Gu just called us and brought out all the documents proving that she is the Ghost Doctor. We have confirmed that she is indeed the Ghost Doctor. She also said that she would treat the head of the household’s leg.”

"I'm sorry to have troubled you to make this trip today. I'll calculate all the compensation I owe you later. Now I'll take you home."

In just three short paragraphs, Nan Yu's visit was treated as a misunderstanding.

Nan Yu lowered her head and glanced at Huo Junyan's crippled legs, then raised her head, revealing her bright eyes and brows.

"I've always heard of the Ghost Doctor's reputation. She's said to be mysterious and unpredictable, and no one can find her. I'd like to ask, how did you determine that she is the real Ghost Doctor?"
