Chapter 171: Chapter 171

"Is it possible that Gu Shifang wanted to hide the poison on the small island and killed Little Squirrel’s original owner?" Li Tianyao replied.

"It’s possible! I didn’t expect this squirrel to be so loyal!"

An Yan reached out to put it into her bag, but Li Tianyao stopped her.

"It’s filthy. Let Lu Feng hold it."

Lu Feng hurried over and wrapped Little Squirrel in a piece of paper.

An Yan then remembered her own matters. She quickly tried to use her connection with the leaves to communicate with the ring, but it was no use. Gone! Completely lost contact!

An Yan showed the ring on her neck to Li Tianyao, "It’s vanished!"

Li Tianyao took her hand. "The ring is his. With every death, he takes the ring with him! And with every rebirth, the ring appears with him as well. That’s why I’m sure he doesn’t know where the secret realm is. If he did, he would have used death to take the ring long ago!"

An Yan said, "Oh. So you mean, if we want to know where he’s been reborn, we can only find out through the ring?"

"Why did you suddenly kill him? Just because he said you weren’t human?" An Yan glared at Li Tianyao with regret.

She really couldn’t understand. Gu Shifang had cursed him so viciously before, and Li Tianyao had managed to control himself and not kill him. Why this time, just for being called ’not human’...

"It was a mistake. I couldn’t control my strength; I just meant to scare him a bit."

An Yan glanced at him, feeling he was insulting her intelligence. Who scares someone by stabbing them between the eyebrows? If he’d stabbed anywhere else on the body, she might have believed him.

An Yan was speechless. Being with Li Tianyao always gave her the feeling that he was hiding so many things from her!

But now was not the time to discuss this. She looked around and asked, "What should we do? Killing someone inside the police station... Do you want to run, or turn yourself in?"

An Yan was speechless. How could she respond to that? They were both accomplices!

"If we turn ourselves in, how many years will we get? Can your legal team defend us and get an acquittal?"

An Yan didn’t know what was so funny. The man’s chest vibrated with a low chuckle as he picked up Little Squirrel, which was trying to burrow into her bag.

"Follow me, and keep quiet!"

An Yan instantly tensed up. She guessed he was planning to slip out!

Li Tianyao stepped out the door, tossing Little Squirrel to Lu Feng, who was guarding the entrance. An Yan followed closely. As soon as she stepped out, she saw many policemen lined up in perfect order.

The first few seemed quite old, and each had a rank that was downright frightening! An Yan’s nerves immediately tightened further as she glanced subtly at their waists. Were those guns holstered there? If she had known Li Tianyao was so ruthless, she should have bought a bulletproof vest first.

But the next second, she saw them all bow their heads and respectfully call out, "Captain Li!"

An Yan was speechless.

Li Tianyao grunted. "I will personally report this matter to the higher-ups. As for Qin Song, say it was an accident, and give his daughter an education fund to help her graduate from college!"

After a few steps, Li Tianyao stopped again. "Qin Song is the mastermind behind the Ancient Tomb drug case! All those forged antiques came from his hand."

Everyone was shocked, and the officer with the highest rank carefully asked, "Did you manage to get any other information? Did you ask about the address where the fakes are made, and their sales channels?" Get full chapters from novel•fire.net

"He was only responsible for supplying the drug-concealing items; he wasn’t involved in sales!" Li Tianyao said. "As for the address where the fakes are made, he didn’t reveal it before he committed suicide!"

An Yan thought these people definitely wouldn’t believe it. Who commits suicide by making their head explode? Yet, unexpectedly, not a single person questioned it.

Li Tianyao continued to give instructions, "Send people to investigate Qin Song’s whereabouts. Every place he frequented could potentially be hiding the kiln where the fakes are made!"

A group of people escorted Li Tianyao to the entrance of the police station. Standing at the very end of the line, Zhang Xuebin found an opportunity to move next to An Yan.

"Little Master, you promised to operate on that drug dealer. You remember, right?"

Since Qin Song was only responsible for providing items to conceal drugs, Zhang Xuebin figured that the task of uncovering the drug trafficking organization’s sales channels now rested on this drug dealer.

"Hmm. Tomorrow then..."

"Don’t go!" Li Tianyao slightly turned his body, his gaze falling on her. "The only thing you need to do now is to develop the Antidote. I will provide you with a research team! Put off everything else!"

Four years! Even if this young lady possessed outstanding medical skills, four years was still too short a time.

To his surprise, she did not seem to be in a hurry at all. "You should first help me find the Golden Thread Worm from Heimiao Village. Before finding it, all research is unable to proceed. I might as well get this surgery done during this time."

The man looked at her, a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Finally, meeting her determined gaze, he nodded. "Just this once. After this, you’re not allowed to take on any more miscellaneous jobs."

"It depends... Fine! No more!!"

The pressure from his gaze was so intense that An Yan subconsciously felt the consequences would be severe if she didn’t agree.

"Director Zhang, contact Ya Zhuo and have him get the patient ready with checkups and conditioning. As long as all the data is normal, I can go over and perform the surgery at any time!"

Watching them leave, Zhang Xuebin took off his cap. He habitually reached up and patted his now-flourishing hair. Although he didn’t know what kind of Antidote Little Master was trying to develop, he felt certain she would succeed!

Director Xiao from the provincial department, seeing his action, quickly reminded him, "Stop pulling at it, or you’ll pull off the wig!"

This was his subordinate; losing a wig in public would make him a laughingstock!

Zhang Xuebin ignored his advice and stroked his hair even more enthusiastically. "Director Xiao, you just don’t understand, do you? This is real hair! The medicine from Little Master made it grow back in a week!"

Director Xiao looked at him with a grave expression. "I hope her medical skill is really as good as you say it is, to be able to save that drug dealer!"

"Definitely." Zhang Xuebin patted his head again!

"Stop stroking it. It’s hard enough to grow it back; don’t rub it bald again."

"You’re just jealous of me, Director Xiao. Oh, by the way, Director Xiao, if this anti-drug operation is successful, will there be a commendation conference held by several provinces?"

"Then I’d better get my new police uniform looking sharp!" When the time came, with a crisp uniform and a full head of black hair, he would shock all those baldies who used to laugh at him!

Director Xiao looked at the blindly happy Zhang Xuebin, frowning unconsciously. There were some things he hadn’t told this subordinate. But after thinking it over, he decided it was better not to say anything. Too much pressure could lead to mistakes. Besides, the man clearly had a kind of inexplicable admiration for that young lady! He’d just have to take things one step at a time and see how they unfolded!

An Yan leaned back in her seat, looking thoughtfully at Li Tianyao.
