Chapter 282: Chapter 282

The burly man wove through the edge of the crowd, allowing others to move to the front. Shielded by the throng, he continued to inch his way toward An Yan.

"They’re all Li Tianyao’s people! They’re skilled in martial arts, everyone, be careful!!"

Du Shimeng shouted, and even more people rushed forward.

Whether these people knew martial arts or not was irrelevant; their children were still lying unconscious in hospital beds.

For the sake of their children!

The camera focused on An Yan.

Wen Ya and the others couldn’t bring themselves to harm these defenseless ordinary people. They could only form a barrier around An Yan, preventing anyone from touching her.

But they were hopelessly outnumbered; two fists are no match for so many. The tide of people surged, and Wen Ya, Wen Ge, and Luolie were violently pushed aside by the frenzied parents.

The burly man, along with a few others, closed in on An Yan.

Liang Chen stepped forward, using his body to shield An Yan and Mu Enyu. "Stop! Everyone, calm down!"

"Grab them! We’ll use them to negotiate with Li Tianyao! Make him release our children!!"

At this cry, even more parents surged forward. When their children were involved, no one could remain calm. Whether these individuals were truly villains or not, the parents intended to capture them first and sort things out later.

Liang Chen was shoved aside.

Mu Enyu’s eyes widened in terror. She pulled An Yan, trying desperately to back away, but they were already against a wall—there was nowhere left to retreat.

Sister Yan is skilled, I know, but there are so many of them! If things get really bad, I... I...

Mu Enyu turned and threw her arms around An Yan, shielding her with her own back against the oncoming attackers.

Little Squirrel perched on Mu Enyu’s shoulder, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws at the crowd.

Everyone was doing their utmost to protect her!

A slight smile touched An Yan’s lips. She reached out, plucked Little Squirrel from Mu Enyu’s shoulder, and tossed it to Liang Chen. Then, she gently pushed Mu Enyu toward Liang Chen as well. "Protect them."

Having spoken, An Yan acted immediately, striking acupoints on several people in quick succession. Anyone whose acupoints she struck went limp instantly, their strength vanishing as they crumpled to the ground like noodles.

After four or five people collapsed with dull THUDS, the agitated crowd finally sensed that something was amiss. They halted their forward surge, watching An Yan with wariness. They had seen her merely reach out and tap those rushing towards her, and down they went.

What kind of technique was this? The Acupoint Sealing Technique?

While they were still reeling in shock, they saw An Yan bend down and haul up the burly man who had been at the front. A beautiful, slender girl with such delicate arms had actually lifted a burly man well over six feet tall!

An Yan slammed the burly man against the wall. His large head struck the wall, the impact echoing with a sickening sound that made onlookers’ hearts tremble.

"Speak! Who ordered you to use the children’s lives in this setup?"

Pain twisted the burly man’s features. He only snapped back to his senses when he heard her question. He tried to struggle, only to find his body still unresponsive to his commands.

What kind of monstrous strength did this woman possess to lift him with a single hand?

Fear gnawed at the burly man’s heart, but he remained defiant. "I don’t know what you’re talking about! You’re one of Li Tianyao’s people, here to harm our children! I’d rather die than let you succeed!"

"Which one is your child? What’s their name?"

The man’s eyes flickered evasively. "It doesn’t matter which one is my child! You won’t target my son!"

Seeing his stubborn refusal, An Yan took out a gleaming scalpel and pressed it to his throat. "Tell me, what’s your son’s name?"

"I won’t tell you!" the burly man roared. Using all his might and the momentum, he slammed his own neck against An Yan’s scalpel.

The scalpel sliced through instantly. Blood spurted out like a fountain.

Screams erupted from all directions as everyone scrambled backward.

"Murder! She’s committed murder!"

No one had expected such a bloody incident to occur so suddenly.

An Yan, too, was momentarily bewildered. This burly man truly wasn’t afraid of death. But to think he could frame her with this stunt? He was far too naive.

To prove her innocence, An Yan immediately took out silver needles. A few quick applications, and the gushing blood stopped.

The burly man, who had been prepared to meet King Yama, was stunned. Then, a searing pain made it brutally clear: if An Yan didn’t permit his death, not even King Yama could claim him.

Ignoring the blood splattered on her, An Yan then produced a suture needle.

Liang Chen and Mu Enyu’s medical instincts kicked in simultaneously, and they stepped forward to assist.

Right before everyone’s eyes, the three young people began suturing the wound, their teamwork seamless and their roles clearly defined.

Anesthesia? Out of the question. Since he wanted to use his life to frame her, he would have to endure this agony.

Ordinarily, such pain would have made anyone faint, but not this man. An Yan had specifically used a technique on him. So, no matter how excruciating the pain, he couldn’t pass out. He could only lie there, neck rigid, screaming in agony.

His screams sent a chilling tingle through everyone present. A chill ran down their spines! Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel·fıre·net

This woman is terrifying! But her terrifying nature only made her seem more suspicious.

Although the parents had retreated, they formed a human barricade, trapping An Yan and her companions in the center. The police force stationed in the hospital also rushed to the scene, their guns aimed at An Yan and her group.

The man in the leather jacket had slipped away to the periphery the moment the incident began. Leaning against a wall, he observed the unfolding drama. He was no ordinary citizen. He was a citizen of D Country. Since his wife was from Z Country, he often traveled between the two nations. He had never expected such an incident to occur in the kindergarten. Having weathered many violent conflicts, he instantly recognized that the burly man and that Teacher Du Shimeng were deliberately manipulating the crowd. And the beautiful female doctor appeared remarkably skilled and composed. She hadn’t panicked once, even when the chaos erupted. Faced with a bloody attempt to frame her, she had actually managed to thwart it!

A woman like that... truly captivating!

The scenes from inside the hospital were transmitted via satellite to Yuncheng.

Li Tianyao watched the chaotic images on the screen.

He knew this was his tribulation. If the young lady hadn’t intervened, he would be the one facing public condemnation now. And he... if his condition flared up, forget these people—the entire hospital staff likely wouldn’t be enough for him to slaughter! He’d never imagined his enemies would be willing to pay such a steep price just to eliminate him! If he were to kill someone in front of the media, before countless ordinary citizens, he would be finished—utterly ruined, even if he survived. What a venomous plot!

Just watching the chaotic scenes made the blood rush to his head, an uncontrollable surge. His head throbbed as if it would split. The steel ball in his hand was clenched so tightly that it continuously deformed under his crushing grip!

"Master, calm down! The Young Miss surely has a plan!"

Li Tianyao suddenly cracked a wry smile. "I never thought the day would come when I, Li Tianyao, would be protected by a woman!"

Lu Feng bowed his head, not daring to respond.

Just then, his phone rang—
