Chapter 291: Chapter 291
Having risen to freshen up, she opened the wardrobe, looking for an outfit that suited her.
As it turned out, everything in the wardrobe was her size!
There had been nothing before she went to bed, and now it was bursting at the seams.
An Yan chose a blue sweater, matched with a pair of white wide-leg pants, and casually tied up her hair with a rubber band before taking the elevator down to the second basement floor.
Unlike the floor where she was staying, the middle of the second basement floor featured a massive conference room with several small rooms sectioned off around it.
At the moment, the conference room was filled with Li Tianyao’s people.
Lu Feng, Lin Ling, Luolie, Wen Ya, Wen Ge, and nearly thirty other members.
Unified in their dress, each person bore the Li Family’s crest on their chest.
A formidable sea of black, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Seeing her approach, Li Tianyao habitually reached out his hand to her and pulled up a chair next to his own.
A few subordinates who had never seen An Yan before flashed a look of surprise in their eyes.
Previously, when they heard about her, they simply thought the Ninth Master was infatuated momentarily.
Now, seeing the Ninth Master personally move a chair for An Yan, they vaguely felt that Miss An Yan must truly have captured the Ninth Master’s attention.
No wonder the adversaries captured Miss An Yan as bait to lure the Ninth Master to Shangjing!
Just as An Yan sat down, Li Tianyao took a plate from Wen Ya’s hand and placed it in front of her,
"Eat while you listen!"
Everyone’s eyes widened once more.
This Miss An Yan wasn’t merely catching the Ninth Master’s eye; she was clearly being pampered to the utmost by him.
An Yan felt a bit embarrassed; eating in front of so many people was somewhat uncomfortable.
"It’s alright, they’re all trusted insiders; they won’t mind."
The tall, thin man sitting to the right of Li Tianyao spoke up with a smile,
"Sister-in-law, hello, my name is Tang Junyi!"
An Yan smiled back at him,
"Hello, my name is An Yan!"
"I know, I know, they’ve told me about you. Sister-in-law’s medical skills are divine, comparable to Hua Tuo reincarnated..."
Li Tianyao gave him a displeased glare,
"Talk about the matter at hand!"
Tang Junyi was the person within Li Tianyao’s team best at handling interpersonal relationships, able to strike up a conversation with anyone.
Li Tianyao hadn’t found him annoying before, but now that he wanted to engage An Yan in conversation, he felt displeased.
The chilly, deadly aura, undisguised, swept over Tang Junyi’s face.
Tang Junyi immediately straightened his demeanor, returning to his elite disposition.
"There is a research base underneath the hospital with many half-complete Living Dead detained, all of which have been thoroughly eliminated."
"From Gu Xiu’s computer, we found his emails with R Country, confirming he’s a citizen of R Country."
"Through the emails, we’ve identified his superior as someone called Buddha Master, but unfortunately, we’ve found no tangible information about this Buddha Master."
"At the moment, all we can do is pin our hopes on Gu Xiu. The message has been sent to all airports, train stations, and relevant transportation departments. As soon as he dares show his face, he’ll be captured on the spot!"
"Do you have Gu Xiu’s complete birth date and time?" An Yan asked Li Tianyao quietly.
Tang Junyi beside them handed her Gu Xiu’s résumé.
An Yan just glanced at it and said,
"It’s all fake. Not a single date of birth is true."
However, the photo was real.
An Yan scrutinized the headshot on the résumé, running through her calculations swiftly,
"Southeast direction! There’s too little information—just from his features, that’s all I can tell."
Li Tianyao nodded, addressing the person who had reported earlier,
Without the slightest hesitation, the other replied, snapping to attention,
"I will arrange it immediately."
After the individual left, Li Tianyao asked An Yan,
"Can you figure out who this Buddha Master is?"
An Yan shook her head, "There’s too little known information; I can’t calculate it." Read full story at n0velfire.net
"It’s fine. The fact that you could predict Gu Xiu’s direction of escape is already a huge help."
Tang Junyi’s gaze suddenly brightened when he looked at An Yan,
"Sister-in-law can also tell fortunes, then..."
Before he could finish, he received a glacial look from Li Tianyao that threatened to freeze him solid.
Tang Junyi, baffled, hurriedly explained,
"I just wanted to ask if Sister-in-law could help us figure out if there are any traitors inside the company!"
Even though he had investigated, what if?
If someone can tell, then we must definitely make use of it. He, Tang Junyi, was best at utilizing people!
Before An Yan could reply, Li Tianyao spoke up,
"If you have others predict everything, what’s the use of you? If you don’t want to do it, give up your position and let An Yan take it!"
He just said one sentence, and now his position was at risk?
An Yan tugged on Li Tianyao’s sleeve.
What a fuss! As if she had time to manage his Li Consortium for him. She even left her own Xinyan Group for Ling Xiao to handle!
Li Tianyao gave Tang Junyi a sidelong glance,
"The next agenda item is regarding those children. Whoever is responsible, give us an update on the current progress."
One of them immediately began to report,
"At present, all the children have been transferred to Beijing Hospital."
"They are still in a coma right now, and their parents have been waiting at the hospital gate since early morning, wanting the police to release the culprit who caused their children to fall into this state, so they could treat their children."
An Yan was extremely surprised.
Did those parents not fear that the other party might use their children to turn the tables?
"The police refused their request, and the Medical Association sent a medical team, but so far, these experts still haven’t figured out how to treat the children’s illnesses. They are hoping we can invite a few foreign..."
An Yan said, "I’m here for this reason anyway."
An Yan then remembered the leaves in her mind, which were already visible yet did not reveal themselves, forcing her to contemplate several possibilities.
One was that Gu Xiu, the chief culprit, had escaped, and the task was uncompleted. The other was that the children’s illness wasn’t cured, which is why the leaves didn’t reveal themselves!
The person giving the report showed a hint of embarrassment on their face and hesitated for a while before speaking,
"Perhaps the parents are unwilling to let Miss An Yan assist."
An Yan didn’t understand.
The other party pushed the laptop in front of her.
She had initially thought that public opinion would surely be on her side after everything that had happened. Unexpectedly, netizens were now cursing her.
They said she and Li Tianyao shouldn’t have been so harsh; they should have first controlled the key figures of the other side, forced them to treat the children, and then cleared out the opponent’s forces...
Heh. Easy for them to say! In yesterday’s situation, Li Tianyao was the only one who could have escaped unscathed. Would anyone else have even stood a chance? Control the enemy? Just saving their own lives had been a blessing from the heavens!
The parents also appealed, wanting the police to allow the culprits to use saving the children’s lives as a merit to lessen their punishment.
Some people even suggested capturing Li Tianyao to negotiate with the other side.
As long as they were willing to save the children, Li Tianyao would be handed over to them for disposal!
Seriously, listen to them! Are those words even human? Your children are human, but Li Tianyao isn’t?
But the parents still had their say,
"Li Tianyao is an adult and, moreover, an adult with strong kung fu skills. Even if handed over, he has the ability to protect himself!"
