Chapter 264: Chapter 264

After responding, he saw the color drain from the girl’s face and added, "There are just too many damn things going on!"

An Yan frowned at him. Judging solely by his complexion, she couldn’t tell whether his headache stemmed from the poison flaring up or from the sheer number of troubling matters.

"Why don’t you sleep a little longer?"

"I have to go to the hospital soon to perform surgery on Elder Mo. By the way, did we catch Feng Jingnian last night?" An Yan asked.

Li Tianyao pushed a document in front of her.

The document detailed the events of last night’s operation.

The police had followed the secret passage beneath the two-story building for several kilometers, all the way to an underground hospital.

There were even inpatients at the hospital. Some were recovering from recent organ transplant surgeries, while others were awaiting their operations.

The floor beneath the hospital was filled with individual rooms. Each room held a healthy human—men and women, mostly aged between thirteen and thirty. Dedicated staff provided them with three meals a day.

On an even lower level, numerous men and women were penned up together. All of them were missing various organs. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel{f}ire.net

And their guards were the Living Dead!

According to their confessions, they had been tricked into going overseas for fraudulent work. Those unwilling to cooperate or who failed to meet their targets were taken to the hospital. There, they underwent compatibility testing and organ harvesting.

Those who didn’t survive were turned into Living Dead and used as guards. Some who were still alive after unsuccessful compatibility testing and organ harvesting were taken away, never to return; others were subjected to genetic experiments.

Many had been transformed into monsters!

Indeed, the level below that housed all sorts of bizarrely shaped monsters.

An Yan looked at the photos, finding it hard to believe they had once been human.

"This must be Gu Shifang’s doing!" An Yan declared. "I just don’t know what role Feng Jingnian played in all this."

Li Tianyao handed her another document.

In his statement, Feng Jingnian confessed that he merely had a cooperative relationship with the Great Witch Golden Crow. His only task was to find clients for him worldwide; he claimed ignorance about everything else. He was shrewd. Throughout his statement, he stressed that he was unaware of the donor organs’ source and claimed he had never met the Great Witch Golden Crow. After finding clients, he would hand them over to Ajie, who was the one truly in charge.

"Can he get away with it ?"

"Absolutely not. No matter how vehemently he denies it, the very fact he fled to this place proves his involvement."

Li Tianyao stood up and took her hand, leading her to the dining room.

As soon as they sat down, An Yan noticed him raise his hand to press his temple, and her heart tightened.

Li Tianyao lowered his hand and chuckled softly. "So worried I’m in pain? Afraid the poison inside me will act up?"

"Yes." An Yan nodded.

If it hadn’t been to detoxify her, he wouldn’t have contracted it.

"If you feel guilty, then eat more. Hurry up and regain your strength so you can properly repay me."

Her regaining strength to repay him? What kind of logic is that?

The man reached out, rubbed her earlobe, and said discontentedly, "I detoxified you with my own body; isn’t it only right that you satisfy me?"

If he still has the energy to think about such lewd nonsense, then he really isn’t in pain!

Upon receiving word that An Yan was coming to operate on the elder, Mo Shiyan had already arrived with his people.

Today, he was dressed in a formal suit. Compared to his usual self, his aura was much more commanding. The man who typically kept a low profile when out and about had today brought an assistant, four bodyguards, and two lawyers! The entire floor had been cleared; apart from essential medical personnel, not a single unauthorized person was in sight.

Mo Yunkai saw in him the image of his own elder brother as a young man. An inexplicable chill ran down his spine.

He already knew that Mo Shiyan had acquired the forty percent of shares Feng Jingnian held. He also knew this nephew of his had always been a wolf in sheep’s clothing. But now that things had come to this, the one thing he was grateful for was that he hadn’t done anything inappropriate these past few days. Moreover, to maintain the Mo Family’s absolute controlling stake, he had even transferred his own shares to the old man’s name.

His only worry was that Mo Shiyan’s actions were for revenge. Though the old man had promised he would never let Mo Shiyan know about that incident, secrets have a way of getting out. How could this boy, who had played the part of an actor for so many years, not investigate the true cause of his parents’ death?

Mo Shiyu and Mo Shidong, the siblings, trailed beside Mo Yunkai, a new understanding evident in their eyes as they looked at Mo Shiyan. This was especially true for Mo Shiyu. She was still young, and even now, she couldn’t comprehend it. How had her elder brother, who had always treated acting as his career, suddenly become such a master of power and manipulation? He claimed he wanted nothing, yet he turned around and swallowed their cousin’s and aunt’s shares! From what her parents said, it seemed the shares Dad transferred to Grandfather would likely end up in Big Brother’s hands too. It’s terrifying! How could Big Brother be such a schemer?

When Mo Shiyan put down his phone, Mo Yunkai quickly spoke up, "Ayan, Second Uncle..."

Mo Shiyan turned and faced the members of the second branch. "If this is about the shares, let’s wait until Grandfather wakes up. Second Uncle, I currently only hold forty percent of the shares. Grandfather is still the true head of the Mo Group."

Mo Yunkai nodded. "Then we’ll discuss it when your grandfather wakes up."

If Mo Shiyan, that young wolf cub, was willing to give the final decision to the old man, then the second branch might still have a chance to reclaim some shares. They were all grandchildren; surely, the old man wouldn’t stand by and watch Shidong and Ayu be left homeless and destitute?

The atmosphere outside the patient room was unprecedentedly heavy.

The elevator arrived.

An Yan and Li Tianyao walked over, hand in hand.

Mo Shiyu’s eyes lit up. Sister An Yan is here? Why is she holding hands with another man? Who is this man? How can he be even more handsome than Big Brother?

As Mo Shiyu’s mind reeled, Mo Shiyan had already approached them.

His gaze paused on An Yan and Li Tianyao’s clasped hands before shifting to Li Tianyao’s face. "President Li, thank you for your trouble."

Li Tianyao responded with a nonchalant hum.

An Yan picked up the conversation. "How is Elder Mo doing now?"

"Everything’s normal; Professor Song is inside." Mo Shiyan subtly observed An Yan’s expression. "How are you... feeling? Is the poison gone?"

A faint blush appeared on An Yan’s face. "It’s gone."

Mo Shiyan then turned to Li Tianyao. "And, how is Ninth Master feeling?"

A smile touched Li Tianyao’s lips. "Fantastic!"

Mo Shiyan’s eyes darkened.

The mood suddenly became somewhat awkward.
