Chapter 294: Chapter 294

During her first visit to the hospital, An Yan had heard Du Shimeng’s voice. However, it was too chaotic at the time, and she hadn’t had the opportunity to settle accounts with her.

Today, she paid special attention.

Knowing that Du Shimeng was among these people, she immediately suspected her.

After all, Du Shimeng had been personally sent away by An Yan’s elder brother. For her to return to Shangjing City so quickly and become a teacher at this kindergarten was, in itself, very odd.

However, An Yan had no evidence, so she could only play along, waiting for the other party to reveal themselves.

And Du Shimeng indeed lived up to her expectations. Follow current novels on nοvelfire.net

Outside, as soon as Du Shimeng saw the windows being covered, she immediately said again, "See? See? An Yan actually covered the windows! She’s afraid we’ll find out she can’t cure the children’s illnesses."

Without sparing any effort, Du Shimeng jumped up and down. "We need to find a way to let more people know about the situation here! Only then can we put pressure on Li Tianyao! Does anyone know someone in the media? Please call them and ask them to come here for interviews."

"If there are any independent content creators here, please don’t hesitate. Use your own accounts to speak out for our children!"

There is strength in numbers, and soon, the incident became a trending topic online.

Feeling like she had won the battle, Du Shimeng sat down on the bench triumphantly. While everyone was busy, she reached into her bag and gripped a Jade Token!

「In the hospital ward.」

Su Siming was the first to discover the information online. "Sister Yan, the internet is saying you’re a fake divine doctor. They claim you can’t cure these children and are just stalling for your brother-in-law. They also say..."

"Don’t worry about it. Let them talk," An Yan said, sitting next to a child’s hospital bed, twirling a disposable Acupuncture Needle in her hand.

As she moved, the little girl’s vitality slowly returned, flowing back into her body.

But An Yan could see that only the portion stored in the machine was returning.

What had been taken away a few days ago could no longer be retrieved.

"Just nourish the child more. Over time, her body will recover."

The young mother nodded earnestly, "Okay, okay, Professor An. Rest assured, I’ll go online to clarify for you right now..."

"No need!" An Yan stopped her. "I suspect the real mastermind is the one stirring up trouble online. So, what you need to do now is not to clarify for me, but..."

While speaking, An Yan’s mind suddenly grew hazy.

It was as if something inside her was being torn by an external force, trying to be pulled out.

The machine had begun to withdraw her vitality!

At the same time, leaves in her mind swayed.

The vitality that was about to be pulled from her body was forcefully dragged back by the leaves.

"Professor An, tell me how I can cooperate!" Zhao Meng said politely.

An Yan answered, "Three parents, I need you to cry!"

What are you talking about? I’m a man who stands six foot three, cry?

"I’ll do it!" Zhao Meng’s wife grabbed his hand, pulling him back. Then, hugging their daughter, she burst into loud, sorrowful sobs.

She had wanted to cry for a long time. For days, every minute and every second had been . Countless times, she had thought that if it were possible to suffer in her daughter’s place, she would willingly endure this hardship for her! Now that the child was awake, she could finally cry to her heart’s content.

The other two parents also started crying loudly.

Zhao Meng hadn’t wanted to cry, but for some reason, tears uncontrollably began to flow.

「Outside the hospital ward.」

After An Yan’s situation gained traction online, opportunistic media reporters immediately rushed over.

They aimed their cameras at the hospital room where An Yan was.

But the door to the room was tightly locked.

They couldn’t capture any valuable content.

They could only hear intermittent crying coming from inside the room—women’s voices, and men’s too!

The women’s crying was one thing, but the men’s...

There was only one male parent inside: Zhao Meng.

A man standing almost six-foot-three, the kind you wouldn’t want to mess with, a true man’s man who would rather bleed or sweat than shed tears.

The sound of crying was like a hook, making their curiosity itch intensely.

"Which parent locked the door? Could you open it, please?"

"Yeah, yeah, if you don’t open the door, we can’t capture the real story. We can’t just make things up and expect netizens to believe us, can we?"

"What if An Yan runs away after we open the door?" a worried parent asked.

"If she runs, she runs. As long as she really can’t cure the children, netizens will surely chase her down with criticism."

"Right, that’s the power of public opinion! But to wield it, we need real photos, real evidence!"

Only then did Du Shimeng unlock the door and push it open.

The media reporters excitedly pointed their cameras in that direction.

An Yan had recently been a frequent fixture on trending topics: Li Tianyao’s wife, skilled in martial arts, and a legendary doctor.

If such a positive figure truly caused a death, that would be huge news! They had already imagined gaining a multitude of followers because of this story.

However, when the door opened, they saw several people gathered around An Yan.

"Professor An, what happened to you?"

Wen Ya was holding An Yan, kneeling on the ground, while Ya Zhuo and several others surrounded her.

They weren’t quite sure what had happened; the moment the door swung open, Miss An Yan had suddenly collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Du Shimeng was beside herself with excitement!

An Yan, you’ve finally fallen into my hands.

"What’s going on? Why has Professor An also fainted?"

The reporters pointed their cameras at the few parents in the room and asked, "Could you tell us what just happened?"

A young mother spoke up, "We’re not really sure either. Professor An fainted suddenly after giving acupuncture to the three children."

An elderly grandmother also said, "I think Professor An traded her own life for the lives of those three children!"

"What do you mean by that, madam?"

Before the reporter could finish asking, the three children on the hospital beds sat up simultaneously.

Though their expressions were somewhat dazed, they were clearly awake now!

Du Shimeng’s smile immediately stiffened. Could An Yan really save people?

Then she felt a wave of relief. What did it matter if An Yan could save people? She had preemptively let the machine extract An Yan’s vitality. With her unconscious, there was no chance for the other children to awaken. She must lay claim to that vitality!

While she was silently calculating, the parents behind her focused their attention on Ya Zhuo, Liang Chen, and the others who had come with An Yan. "Did you see how Professor An saved people? Can’t you wake her up quickly?"

Ya Zhuo shook his head, "We’ve tried. Professor An’s condition is much more serious than that of these children. We are powerless."

"Oh, what do we do now?"

The young mother reached out, picked her daughter up from the hospital bed, and said, "Quick, help Professor An onto the bed to lie down."

Wen Ya lifted An Yan and placed her on the bed.

Ya Zhuo and the others flocked around her again.

Mu Enyu sobbed brokenly, "Sister Yan, please wake up!"
