Chapter 273: Chapter 273

"After he lapsed into a coma, his managed subordinates all developed ulterior motives."

"The four once-loyal lieutenants directly fell out, each taking a group of men to strike out on their own."

"Guarding him now is his fourth wife, a woman just over twenty and a ruthless one at that. After the four men defected, she used forceful measures to control the remaining people. In the name of legitimacy, she seized control of all the businesses."

"She only sent out the call for a doctor to show her subordinates; in reality, she’s probably the one least willing to see the old man wake up."

An Yan nodded, "Got it. Go get my medical kit!"

Wen Ge: "Miss, why do you still want to save someone like that?"

"Because..." An Yan paused.

Because the more evil the person, the more benefits they bring her. As long as she captures them and sends them to prison, that’s tantamount to saving countless ordinary people who might have been harmed by them. The other party is offering a huge sum for medical treatment, and she just happens to be a doctor; isn’t that convenient? Just thinking about it is exciting.

But she couldn’t say this to Wen Ge, so she took a roundabout approach, "It’s because his case is very representative, and I need to gain experience."

"But he’s a bad guy, and his wife is heartless too! Starting half a year ago, seven doctors have gone in to treat him, and not a single one has come out!"

"That’s even more reason to go!"

The more heartless and depraved the villain, the more they increase her ’lifespan’!

"You’re not allowed to go!"

Li Tianyao arrived swiftly upon receiving the news, his handsome face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Does this little girl think she’s an immortal, wanting to venture into every dragon’s den and tiger’s lair?

Hearing his voice, An Yan turned around, her lips curving into a sweet smile, "Hubby~"

The woman in the bright red dress, sitting elegantly on the pure white sofa, looked down upon the girl standing opposite her. The girl was dressed in a white, fitted blazer, holding a medical kit. Even when meeting the woman’s gaze, not an ounce of retreat showed in her eyes, her confidence practically overflowing.

"I know! Cure him, and I’ll be famous worldwide. Fail, and I leave my life here!"

The woman smiled, "Then let’s begin! Are you going to give my husband medicine or perform acupuncture?"

The woman in red lifted her hand, and quickly a medical bed was wheeled out. On it lay a man with age spots on his face.

The young girl tightened her grip on the medical kit, carried it over, and placed it on the nearby operating table. She opened it and reached inside.

She pulled out a scalpel, skillfully spun around, and pressed the blade against the red-dressed woman’s carotid artery. "Zhang Ya, you’re under arrest!"

Scores of bodyguards hurried from all directions, surrounding them completely.

The young girl scoffed and drew her badge with her other hand. "I’m a police officer! Everyone drop your weapons, or I have the right to execute Zhang Ya immediately!"

"Oh my, I’m so scared!" Behind the bodyguards, another woman, also clad in a swaying red dress, full of allure, sauntered over.

"He Chuwei!" she read the name on the officer’s badge. "Not from Yuncheng, are you?"

Officer Xiaohe broke out in a cold sweat. Instinctively, she glanced at the woman she was restraining and then at the woman opposite her.

They looked exactly alike!

No, not the same; the one in her grasp is a fake!

Looking at the white powder on her hand, Officer Xiaohe realized the woman she held only resembled Zhang Ya due to heavy makeup.

It’s over! She’s been tricked!

The staff members waiting outside, ready to provide backup, never received any message from He Chuwei. Realizing something might have gone wrong, they hurriedly drove over to attempt a rescue.

But they hadn’t expected this...

"He Chuwei entered using a fake identity! Zhang Ya’s family outright denied anyone had ever been to their home. Our people were blocked outside, and they even said if we really wanted to enter, we should bring a search warrant!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel-fire.net

The staff relayed the information back to the police station.

Issuing a search warrant followed strict procedures; it couldn’t be obtained in the blink of an eye. But He Chuwei, a beautiful young woman, had fallen into the hands of those ruthless people who devoured others whole—the consequences...

"Inform the Luocheng police!"

After all, He Chuwei was an officer from Luocheng. Even if they had to face inquiries from Luocheng, they dared not conceal the incident. They just hoped that with more people, there would be greater strength, and through collective wisdom, they could rescue Officer Xiaohe.

「Inside Li Tianyao’s villa.」

An Yan sat bored across from Li Tianyao.

The Golden Thread Worm hadn’t been found, and the experiment was forced to cease. The thumb ring was inside the coffin, and she couldn’t retrieve it for now. She wanted to save more people to extend her clairvoyant time, but Li Tianyao said it was too dangerous and wouldn’t allow her to go.

Her phone vibrated. It was a call from Zhang Xuebin.

"Little Master, quick, go save Xiaohe..."

The woman in a red dress, lounging on a white sofa, glanced sideways at An Yan.

As a woman herself, she couldn’t help but silently praise—this woman was indeed beautiful. No wonder she caught the eye of the head of the Li Family in Shangjing City. Unfortunately, there was a kill order on her! No matter how beautiful, she would soon be dead anyway!

That pity-filled glance, laced with schadenfreude, greatly annoyed An Yan.

"Stop looking. Send someone who can actually make decisions! A puppet, and you think you’re the master?"

Zhang Na’s predatory gaze finally receded. She subconsciously sat up straight, puffing out her chest. "You’re calling me a puppet?"

An Yan scoffed, "I’m not treating him."

Bodyguards immediately appeared from all around, blocking her way.

An Yan’s face grew cold. "I am a doctor, here to treat a patient. What do you mean by having a puppet coordinate with me? Is she a family member of the patient? Can she make the decisions?"

Zhang Na became anxious, "How am I not a family member of the patient? No matter how young I am, I’m still Wei Song’s wife!"

"Ha!" An Yan was unapologetically blunt. "You’re Wei Song’s wife? To my knowledge, Wei Song’s wife is a natural beauty! But you... your cheeks are shaved, your nose is augmented, your lips are plumped, your eyebrows are tattooed, you have hair extensions, and even this face is barely covering its flaws with who knows how many layers of makeup! Tell me, you know I’m a doctor, yet you still try to pass yourself off as a natural beauty in front of me. Is there something wrong with your brain?"

So infuriating! She wanted to strangle this woman right then and there! Put an end to it all!

"Nice observation!" From outside the crowd, Wei Song’s wife, Zhang Ya, dressed in a red gown, gracefully approached. The words An Yan had just spoken made her heart bloom with pleasure.

"Beauty, what’s your name?"

"An Yan! You might not have heard of me, but you’ve surely heard of my husband. His name is Li Tianyao!"

Zhang Ya’s smile faltered for a moment. She had thought An Yan would use a fake identity.
