Nan Yan put away her phone and casually looked up.

It was the group of thugs who had intercepted her earlier.

The blonde-haired thug looked at Nan Yan with a fawning expression, “Miss, we’re here to report back.”

Nan Yan recalled the incident of An Muyao’s disappearance yesterday and scanned the group of thugs, “Go over there and talk.”

There was an alley nearby.

With so many people passing by here, it wasn’t convenient for a conversation.

They turned into the alley, and the blonde-haired thug quickly offered his “treasure” by handing his phone to Nan Yan, saying, “Miss, we have disciplined that woman as you requested and even took some pictures of it. Look, is this acceptable?”

He paused for a moment and continued, “If it’s not acceptable, we can kidnap her again!”

Nan Yan swiped the photo album on the phone a couple of times. Those unsightly pictures made her feel a bit nauseous, so she turned off the screen and handed the phone back to the blonde-haired thug.

“Besides taking photos, have you done anything else?” Nan Yan asked.

The blonde-haired thug quickly waved his hand, “No, no, we only tied her up and scared her by stripping her clothes. We didn’t do anything else!”

Nan Yan clicked her tongue.

It seemed that they were quite intimidated by her back then, hence their restrained actions.

An Muyao was lucky.

However, there would be other opportunities in the future.

Playing pranks like this had no meaning.

Nan Yan narrowed her eyes, her expression cold and indifferent, “Get lost.

Don’t appear in my sight again.”

“Yes, Miss, we’ll leave right away!”

The blonde-haired thug received the pardon, and they swiftly left.

“Little friend, did you do something bad? Hmm?”

Nan Yan turned her impatient gaze towards the direction of the voice. A man stood there with a calm and refined demeanor.

Even in these somewhat rundown streets, amid all the hustle and bustle, it seemed like he couldn’t be tainted.

To be honest, Nan Yan was genuinely captivated by his appearance.

His facial features perfectly matched her aesthetic preferences, and even his physique made her envious.

But…

This big shot was too dangerous, and she couldn’t win him over.

Her life was more important.

Revenge took priority after her rebirth, and obsession with beauty had to take a back seat.

After silently grumbling for a while, Nan Yan carried her backpack and leisurely walked up to Qin Lu.

“Just a misunderstanding.” Nan Yan pursed her lips and defended herself, “I merely used their own tactics against them.”

An Muyao was provoking trouble and seeking her own demise.

She just used the same method An Muyao wanted to use against her to deal with her and teach her a lesson.

Qin Lu’s lips curved into a faint smile. “Hmm, what would you like to eat tonight?”

Nan Yan paused for a few seconds and obediently replied, “Anything is fine.

Whatever you choose, it will be delicious.”

Qin Lu was quite impressed by Nan Yan’s skill of lying with her eyes wide open.

Some people appeared to be gentle and obedient on the surface, but in reality, they were rebellious and undisciplined little liars.

He had to guide her back onto the right path.

Otherwise, it would be easy for her to go astray…

Back in the car, Nan Yan sat by the car door, planning to play a game.

She wasn’t particularly fond of playing games, but sitting next to Qin Lu, it was too much pressure to sit there idle and do nothing.

Just as she plugged in her Bluetooth earphones and was about to start the game, someone contacted her.

Tao Qingming…

Nan Yan glanced silently at him sitting on the other side, working on his laptop.

She rejected the call and opened Tao Qingming’s chat box on WeChat to send him a message: [Mr. Tao, what’s up? I can’t take calls at the moment.]

Tao Qingming quickly replied: [Little friend, the patient woke up and wants to see you.]

Nan Yan suppressed her emotions and calmly typed on the screen: [Did you reveal my identity?]

Tao Qingming: [No, you said you didn’t want anyone to know that it was you who saved him, so I took the credit on your behalf. But to my embarrassment, the old man immediately recognized that it wasn’t me who saved him and asked me to call the person who truly saved him…]

Nan Yan’s emotions remained unchanged as she typed another line: [Then tell him that you don’t know who saved him and that the person left after saving him.]

After sending this message, Nan Yan immediately followed up with another one: [I can’t personally appear, please handle it for me.]

Tao Qingming replied: [Oh, alright, I’ll tell him that.]

Tao Qingming: [Little friend, would you be willing to handle an emergency case? A patient with nerve pain came in today and wants acupuncture treatment.]

Nan Yan: [Hmm, what time?]

Tao Qingming: [They’re already at the hospital. If you’re free, you can do it now. If not, we can schedule it for your free time.]

Nan Yan: [About half an hour. I’ll come over.]

Tao Qingming: [Alright, I’ll inform the patient and their family.]

After ending the conversation with Tao Qingming, Nan Yan took off her earphones and turned to the man beside her.

“Brother, I have something to do. I need to go to the First Hospital.”

Qin Lu moved his gaze away from the screen and looked at her, “Are you feeling unwell?”

Nan Yan shook her head, “No, it’s to see someone.”

She was in dire need of money right now. Any kind of money would do; she just wanted to earn it.

For the sake of her laboratory, she was willing to work harder.

Qin Lu nodded and gave a direct order, “Wu Yue, go to the First Hospital.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Wu Yue diligently turned the car around at the next intersection, heading towards the First Hospital.

At the First Hospital.

After ending the communication with Nan Yan, Tao Qingming said to Lu Lehua and An Muyao, “Mrs. An, Miss An, please wait for about half an hour. My little friend will be here soon. Her acupuncture skills surpass mine, so she will treat Miss An with better results.”

“Is she really that amazing?” Lu Lehua had some doubts.

She brought An Muyao here, hoping that Tao Qingming would perform acupuncture on her.

Unexpectedly, he passed them off to someone else.

Was he intentionally finding excuses to avoid treating them?

“Absolutely!” Not noticing her expression, Tao Qingming spoke with an even more benevolent tone as he described Nan Yan, “My little friend’s acupuncture skills have reached the pinnacle, far surpassing mine.”

Lu Lehua furrowed her brows. Hearing him say that, she could only wait patiently in the waiting room for the arrival of the person Tao Qingming referred to as his little friend.

Having them wait here, Tao Qingming went to the VIP ward.

Nan Yan didn’t want to expose her identity, so she could only relay what she had told him to the patient.

VIP ward.

He Zhizhou’s condition was very poor, and he was extremely weak.

Sitting up on the bed, he had an obvious sickly appearance. He occasionally coughed, his gaze fixed on the direction of the door.

His son and the accompanying bodyguards stood by his side.

Someone knocked on the door, and his expression instantly became excited, “Quick, let them in!”

He Lifeng was about to open the door, but He Da was faster and quickly approached.

So he had no choice but to stop.

Opening the door, He Zhishou eagerly looked towards the entrance.

To his surprise, he saw Tao Qingming entering, and the look in his eyes immediately dimmed.

“Why is it you…” he lamented weakly.

Tao Qingming???

Why couldn’t it be him?
