The sealed invitation arrived at the institute reception desk just after breakfast. Heaven Registrar Yan Wuchen asked Yan to attend a private meeting about the guild rumor, the hospital archive, and the Registry’s response to the medicine case.
Yan read it twice. “He wants to discuss all three at once?”
“Better than pretending they have nothing to do with each other,” Qinghe said.
Ning stayed at the clinic. A new group of workers had come to request their records, and she wanted to help them through the public window herself. Before Yan left, she gave him a list of the next appointments.
“Remind Su about the promised specialist visit,” she said. “The grant is already written. Bring the signed terms back.”
“I will.”
“I’m not asking you to decide what happens here. The network is continuing whether you take the Registry appointment or not.”
“I know.” Yan gave her the spare key to the evidence case. “You should have access if a new record comes in.”
