Chapter 297: Chapter 297

"Throughout this process, the other party was constantly issuing tasks to them via mobile phone. They never met the person face-to-face."

"According to their statements, aside from Yan An, no one else had been in and out of this place."

She had hired bodyguards a month ago, which showed Li Yanluo had been laying out this plan since then. It was normal for the bodyguards to know very little, as she had intended to keep things secret.

Wen Ya had just finished reporting when Luolie returned.

"Miss, I’ve found out. The owner of this body is called Yan An, a Chinese national who returned from abroad. She is also a biologist."

"She had a hand in the gene-editing technology controversy that was all the rage a few years ago..."

An Yan was aware of this. She had also seen reports on the matter at the time.

Reports claimed that gene editing could avoid most genetic diseases and even increase the intelligence of newborns. In short, gene editing could give humans more perfect bodies and superior intelligence.

However, the matter suddenly fizzled out.

It was rumored that the laboratory had exploded unexpectedly, and most of the research staff had died tragic deaths.

The experimental data was completely destroyed.

Subsequently, laws were introduced deeming gene editing unethical and banning any institution or individual from conducting related experiments.

An Yan studied ancient medicine.

Ancient medicine focuses on preventing diseases and regulating the Yin and Yang within the body, with the ultimate goal of preventing and treating illnesses.

Later, she taught herself Western medicine, began to work with pharmaceuticals, and learned to perform surgeries.

She would also combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine to develop drugs for specific diseases, but she wasn’t particularly skilled in these areas.

For instance, she was at a loss when dealing with Golden Thread Worm Poison, having to rely on the most rudimentary methods to experiment bit by bit.

But Yan An was a genius in this field.

It had to be said, Li Yanluo really knew how to choose! Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N()velFire.net

If she could claim Yan An’s memories as her own, she would instantly become an outstanding biologist!

An Yan suddenly felt an urge to take Li Yanluo’s place.

However, she knew it wasn’t possible. She had to suppress the thought and signaled Luolie to continue.

"Yan An’s parents, as well as her grandparents, were also medical geniuses."

"Their Yan Family’s business focused mainly on the medical industry. Decades ago, they were already a well-known major company by the name of Lukang."

"Thirty percent of the fifth-generation antibiotics in the country are imported from their company."

"Lukang is their family’s company?" An Yan asked, surprised.

Luolie nodded. "Yes. The origins of Lukang can be traced back to the last century. Its original name was Merkedo. Later, it was acquired by Old Master Yan and renamed Lukang over seventy years ago."

An Yan nodded. "Oh, continue."

Luolie continued, "The Yan Family was harmonious, and business was booming. If there was anything that troubled the Yan Family, it might have been Yan An’s grandparents having a daughter in their late fifties. But this daughter went missing at the age of two."

"Another misfortune was the explosion of the Yan Family’s biological lab, just as they were making progress in gene editing."

"At the time, there were many rumors. Some felt they had received divine punishment, as the experiment was unthinkable."

"Another theory was that it was an act by the relevant authorities because the experiment, if successful, would have posed a huge challenge to the social system."

"And yet another rumor was that it had been done by one of the Yan Family’s competitors."

"In any case, after this incident, the Yan Family’s business also suffered, and Old Master Yan’s health declined sharply."

"After Old Master Yan passed away, Yan An packed her bags and returned to the country."

"In her first few months back, she delved into the study of feng shui and even enrolled in our I Ching Research Institute. After studying there for half a year, she left and began to travel extensively, visiting many cities."

"I thought perhaps she was looking for her aunt, but a month ago, she suddenly canceled all her travel plans and focused on staying at home."

"The house she lived in was her family’s ancestral home!"

"The trees outside were personally ordered by her and planted strictly according to the principles of feng shui."

"This is the video footage from her time studying at the I Ching Research Institute..."

An Yan reached out and took it.

She had also been to the I Ching Research Institute and had met the masters there; they indeed all possessed real skills.

However, like her, they couldn’t divine anything about Li Tianyao.

They couldn’t divine anything about Gu Shifang, either.

Although An Yan had only stayed there for half a month, she knew that students of the I Ching Research Institute couldn’t leave the school without passing the graduation assessment.

Does that mean this Yan An graduated in just half a year?

An Yan looked at Yan An’s photo in the file, converted her birthday to the lunar calendar, and began to divine Yan An’s fate. Then, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Does that mean the body not only housed Li Yanluo’s consciousness but also Yan An’s?

After pondering for a moment, An Yan said, "Luolie, stay here and personally watch Li Yanluo. Don’t allow her to have contact with any outsiders. Also, remind our people to avoid any physical contact with her."

She wanted to see if Li Yanluo’s consciousness could outlast Yan An’s without the input of vitality.

An excellent biologist, a girl who grew up in a loving family environment, a young woman who could master the feng shui she wanted to learn in just half a year—how could she possibly be a weakling who would willingly accept being bullied?

"Wen Ya, let’s go! To... the Li Family!"

「The Li Family in Shangjing City.」

The number one prestigious family in Country Z, located on Fenghui Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Shangjing City. From a distance, one could see clusters of houses nestled among the green mountains and clear waters.

The closer the car got, the more uneasy An Yan felt.

If she were in Li Tianyao’s position, would he want her to go?

As the car was about to turn onto the road leading to the Li Family, An Yan spoke, "Turn around! Go to the hospital!"

If he didn’t want her to worry, then she could pretend to know nothing about this matter.

There were still over three hundred children in the hospital waiting for her to return and treat them!

As the car was en route, Wen Ge’s call came through.

"Miss, Du Shimeng was brought to Shangjing City by Li Qingqing. Before Li Qingqing went to Yuncheng, she had arranged for Du Shimeng to enter the kindergarten."

"Du Shimeng also put the children in the kindergarten into a coma at Li Qingqing’s request."

An Yan had already guessed this. "Send Du Shimeng to the police station."

Ya Zhuo, Liang Chen, and others tried to examine more children, but their abilities were limited, and they couldn’t identify any problems.

Countless parents and reporters were blocking the entrance.
