Qi Liya briefly explained to Xi Xiyan what had happened: Dr. Xia and the nurse who was his accomplice had been murdered.
Previously, when Xu Xiyan first overheard Dr. Xia and the nurse plotting to sabotage Qi Liya, she had deliberately allowed them to carry on with their plan because she wanted to uncover the actual mastermind hiding behind the scenes.
On the day of Qi Liya's surgery, Dr. Xia had been ready to operate on Qi Liya, confident that no one had caught on to his deceit.
Unfortunately for him, Xu Xiyan had secretly arranged for a few men to hide in the operating room and seize both Dr. Xia and the nurse before they could do anything to Qi Liya.
Qi Liya had not undergone surgery of any kind that day. She had fallen asleep after taking a sleeping pill, and was later told that she had been operated on.
