Chapter 293: Chapter 293
Ling Xiao felt that empty talk was useless; only tangible money was the most convincing!
No sooner had he finished speaking, Zhao Meng, with his slicked-back hair, raised his hand.
An Yan flashed him a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I won’t let you down."
At this moment, a grandmother who looked to be in her sixties also stood up.
"I’m willing too! Professor An, I would like you to take a look at my granddaughter."
Her son and daughter-in-law had been running around trying to cure their daughter’s illness, exhausting every conceivable method. All she could do was wait at the hospital.
Now that someone was willing to treat her grandchild for free, regardless of the other party’s skill level, she was willing to give it a try.
After the old grandmother finished speaking, a young mother also raised her hand.
Her daughter shared a room with the old woman’s granddaughter.
She was not as blindly trusting as the grandmother; after hearing the statements of Liang Chen and the others, she immediately pulled out her phone and did some research. Not only Liang Chen’s grandfather, but also Ya Zhuo, and Mu Chenyuan, Mu Enyu’s brother—their identities were all verified as genuine! Thus, she believed what they said!
Moreover, their three families’ daughters shared the same hospital room. Setting the grandmother aside, the young mother had observed Zhao Meng over the past few days and surmised he definitely had influential connections. If Zhao Meng and his wife were willing to let An Yan treat the children, it must mean they knew An Yan was capable.
"Okay, which room are your children in? Take me to them."
The young mother quickly led the way, and soon, An Yan arrived at her daughter’s room.
Su Siming followed Liang Chen into the room. Upon entering, he noticed that Mu Enyu had once again habitually positioned herself by Liang Chen’s side. And Liang Chen, too, had habitually let her stand there.
The room was a triple.
There were girls on all three beds, young and delicate. But now, they lay there, unresponsive like dolls devoid of vitality, with IV drips attached. Because it was difficult to insert needles due to their young age, one even had a needle in her head—a pitiful sight.
An Yan, led by the young mother, moved to the bed on the left. "Please take off all your child’s clothes," she said.
The young mother began undressing the little girl.
An Yan activated her X-ray vision immediately. The girl’s brain was fine, and so was her heart. But there was a layer of glowing white aura on the girl’s body. This white aura was now dissipating with each faint breath, forming a thin white line that flowed towards a machine by the head of the bed, which resembled a monitor.
As An Yan frowned, knowledge about this white light entered her mind.
The white aura was the girl’s vitality! And that machine was extracting the vitality from these children!
An Yan turned to look at the other two children, and as she had suspected, they were in the same state as this little girl.
It all made sense now. The reason these children were comatose was because their vitality had been drawn away. And upon recognizing that this substance was vitality, she concurrently acquired the knowledge of how to stop the extraction. She could not only halt it, she could even restore the vitality stored in the machine back to the children.
What she was contemplating now was, who would want to extract the vitality of these children?And how did someone manage to render more than three hundred children unconscious at the same time? The investigation report said that there was nothing wrong with the food provided by the kindergarten, and the blood tests of the children were also normal. There must be some method at play here.What could it be? If the hospital the children were initially sent to was problematic, now, they had been transferred to a different hospital. But these machines were still able to extract vitality, which indicated that the collapse of Gu Xiu and his associates hadn’t affected the other party’s plundering of the children’s vitality. Could it be that the other party is not on the same side as Gu Xiu?
As An Yan was holding the girl’s wrist, lost in thought, Du Shimeng was sitting outside in the hall, happily staring at her phone screen. She pointed the phone’s camera at the glass window of the ward door, live-streaming the situation inside the room to the parents’ group.
Watching An Yan’s solemn expression, an uncontrollable thought surfaced in her mind.
She wanted to spread the news that An Yan couldn’t cure these children!She wanted to smash An Yan’s reputation as a miracle doctor!HAHA!An Yan, oh An Yan, this time you brought this upon yourself!Unable to cure these children, let’s see what face you’ll have to call yourself a miracle doctor then!
"Professor An, have you noticed anything?" the young mother spoke cautiously.
An Yan looked grave and made no response.
The young mother’s mood plummeted to rock bottom in an instant! Zhao Meng and his wife’s faces didn’t look good either; their earlier hope was slowly being replaced by disappointment. Even Ya Zhuo and the others felt An Yan was at a loss.
Ya Zhuo turned and walked to the other side of the bed, taking hold of the little girl’s other hand.
It was a pulse indicating deficiency in both qi and blood. Logically, even though the child was comatose, she had been on a continuous nutritional drip in the hospital. She shouldn’t have such a pulse!
The atmosphere in the ward hit rock bottom.
Du Shimeng was ecstatic.
"Parents, take a look! An Yan simply can’t cure the children’s illnesses. If you ask me, we should join forces and make Li Tianyao agree to negotiate with the other party." Official source ıs noᴠelfire.net
"But the female doctor just said that Li Tianyao won’t compromise!"
"Then we’ll force him to compromise!" Du Shimeng suggested excitedly. "We can restrain An Yan first, demanding Li Tianyao to come and negotiate with us. Hadn’t someone used An Yan to trick Li Tianyao into coming to Shangjing City before? Then they could definitely use An Yan too!"
The parents recalled An Yan’s earlier demeanor, and each of them began to feel a little apprehensive.
After a moment, one parent spoke out, "Besides, An Yan knows martial arts!"
"Exactly! She also knows acupoint techniques. We definitely can’t restrain her. We shouldn’t provoke her and Li Tianyao by failing; that would be counterproductive."
Du Shimeng was getting frustrated with these people. "Those lying in there are your children! Even I, as a teacher, know to think wholeheartedly of the children. How can parents like you drag your feet?"
"So, Teacher Du, what do we do?"
"Fighting? Obviously, we can’t overpower her. But An Yan is inside the ward right now. If we just lock the door, won’t she be unable to come out?" Du Shimeng pitched the idea.
"I think that could work. Lock it up."
Du Shimeng immediately rummaged through her bag and pulled out a lock!
Du Shimeng didn’t know what they were doing outside, but An Yan, with her astonishingly keen hearing, had already heard everything.
Only after Du Shimeng had locked the door did An Yan release the child’s wrist. "I’ve figured out what the problem is! Wen Ge, go and block the window."
