In the hospital...
Elder Lu was resting when Grandma Zhao Shuang was talking to Lu Qiang on a cell phone about finding the file in the safe and telling him about the password. Once she hung up the call, elder Lu, who was sleeping, opened his eyes as he overheard the conversation.
As he was sleepy and under the influence of medicine, he didn’t get what exactly she was talking about so he asked, "What were you talking about? Which safe?"
"Doctors need your old reports when you were unwell in the past, so I asked Lu Qiang to get it from our room. He couldn’t find them out so I thought it must be in the safe with your other files so I gave him a password to open it." Grandma replied calmly not realizing she had done something wrong.
Though elder Lu was sleepy, hearing it, his sleep went away. "What? You gave him access to the safe?" he exclaimed being panicked and pressed his chest as he felt the pain.
Seeing him anxious and in pain, it scared Grandma Zhao Shuang, and she went closer to him. "Are you okay? Let me call the doctor."
"No. First, stop Lu Qiang from opening the safe and looking into the files. Did you forget what is there in those files?" He continued pressing his chest.
Realizing her mistake, she said, "I will stop him. You calm down first. I will do it right away."
"Hmm!" Elder Lu lied down back and close his eyes while taking deep breaths to calm down himself.
Grandma Zhao Shuang grabbed her mobile the next moment and dialed Lu Qiang’s number, but it went unattended. She panicked and looked at elder Lu. "I will call Lu Jinhai, he is at home."
"Hmm! Do it."
She immediately called her son, who was in his bedroom, getting ready to go back to the hospital. As he received the call, his mother spoke. "Listen to me carefully, son."
Sensing the seriousness in his mother’s voice, Lu Jinhai said, "Yes, Mother."
"Lu Qiang is in my room as I asked him to bring your father’s old reports. I gave him access to the safe forgetting what is inside. You need to stop him right away."
"Okay, mother." Lu Jinhai cut the call and stepped out of his room to go downstairs.

In elder Lu’s bedroom...
Jiang Yuyan and Lu Qiang both were going through the files. Checking one or two files, the next file caught Jiang Yuyan’s attention as the documents inside it shocked her. She couldn’t believe what she read and looked at Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang looked at her to know what was in the file that her expressions changed. Taking the file from her hands, he went through the documents inside the file and it shocked him as much as it shocked Jiang Yuyan.
Just then, he got a call from his grandma but he didn’t receive it as it shocked him, not knowing how to react.
Looking at the file, Lu Jinhai understood what it was. He had expressions on his face as if what he came to stop here, finally happened.
Lu Qiang looked at his father with a questioning gaze and his father had helpless expressions on his face while Jiang Yuyan preferred to not react as it was something in the family that was not known to anyone.
"Father!" Lu Qiang called.
Stepping towards them to get the file in his hands, Lu Jinhai spoke. "I will explain it to you later. First, get the file of your grandpa’s old reports and take it to the hospital. Also, don’t let your grandpa know that you saw it."
"Hmm!" His father’s words calmed him down and Lu Qiang looked for the file for which he came to the room.
Jiang Yuyan found it for him. "Here. This is the one."
Lu Qiang took the file from her. "Thank you."
"Let’s go together as I am going to the hospital, too. If they won’t see you there, it will raise the suspicion and it might worry them." Lu Jinhai said, and Lu Qiang nodded.
Lu Jinhai looked at Jiang Yuyan not knowing how to tell her not to talk about it to anyone but before he could say anything, she spoke. "Rest assured, father. It won’t get out from here."
Lu Jinhai patted her head. "Thank you."
Jiang Yuyan kept all the files inside the safe while Lu Qiang and Lu Jinhai left for the hospital. On the way to the hospital, both talked nothing about it as the driver was there. Once they reached the hospital and entered the elevator, Lu Jinhai spoke while looking at the file in Lu Qiang’s hands, "I was the one to open the safe and find this file, not you."
"Hmm!" Lu Qiang understood as it was the only way to not let his grandpa know that he opened the safe and saw what he should not.
Once they entered the room, both elders had serious expressions on their faces while the other two acted as if nothing happened. The elders continued looking at Lu Jinhai, and Lu Jinhai shook his head a little as if saying nothing happened what they thought about.
Elders gave out a sigh of relief and Lu Qiang said, "Who keeps such old reports in the safe. If it was not for a father, I would have lost there."
"It went inside the safe along with other files that your grandpa kept, but it’s good that it was there as we need it now," grandma Zhao Shuang said, pulling out a smile on her lips, trying to suppress the anxiousness inside.
"I will give it to Jiang Yang." Saying, Lu Qiang left the room.
