Chapter 31: She Hated Bitches The Most

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Situ Jin didn't say anything, but one of the nurses behind him spoke.

"That lady was called over by Doctor Xiang. The one with all his hair combed upwards and glasses is Doctor Xiang."

Xu Yaran looked at the stern-looking middle-aged man standing behind Tang Li and said, "That doctor is very handsome."

"That's right. Doctor Xiang is one of the most handsome doctors in our hospital. Moreover, he's the director. There are many people who like him."

Xu Yaran seemed interested and asked, "Is Doctor Xiang married?"

"He's married, but his wife and son are both out of town. He rarely goes back."

"Is that so? For this doctor to be able to become a chief physician in this hospital, he must be very hardworking and skilled."

While saying that, Xu Yaran sneered, thinking to herself, "I guess that doctor is so happy here surrounded by all these beautiful nurses and patients that he doesn't wanna go back at all."

She felt that there must be something going on between Tang Li and Doctor Xiang.

Tang Li was not a medical student. Other than her good looks, she was useless in the hospital.

At the thought of this, Xu Yaran could not help but smile meaningfully.

She really wanted to take out her phone and take a picture of the scene over there so that she could show it to Qi Yihan.

"Yaran."

When she was lost in thought, Situ Jin called her suddenly.

Xu Yaran came back to her senses and asked, "Yeah?"

"Aren't you looking for earrings? I'll get them to go with you."

Then, he said to the three nurses standing by the side, "Take her to my villa. Other than the second floor, you guys can look anywhere."

Xu Yaran was reluctant to leave because she was planning to confront Tang Li.

However, judging from the situation over there, the discussion wouldn't end anytime soon, so she thought she'd go through the motions of looking for the earring. Then she stood up and left with the nurses.

When they walked out of the park, Xu Yaran asked casually, "Do you know anything about that woman with Doctor Xiang?"

The three nurses looked at each other and shook their heads. One of them said, "I'm not very sure. Our hospital doesn't allow us to gossip about patients' families."

Xu Yaran knew that they would not tell her easily, so she tried a different tack. "The doctors in this hospital are really approachable. In my impression, doctors and the patient's family members would not be so close."

"She is different from the other family members."

"How is she different?"

The three nurses fell silent. There were some things that they did not dare to say.

But Xu Yaran didn't mind and didn't ask further.

Shortly after they set out, they arrived at Situ Jin's villa.

There were bodyguards staying inside the villa.

Xu Yaran was actually not familiar with Situ Jin. She called him on the off chance that Situ Jin would not turn her request down because he was her brother's high schoolmate and friend.

After entering the villa, Xu Yaran showed everyone the picture of the earrings that she had taken earlier and told them where she must have left the earrings, and then everyone split up to look for them.

Actually, the earrings were not lost, but Xu Yaran joined the search nonetheless just to not appear suspicious.

After searching for a while, her phone rang.

It was her good friend, Qin Sang Sangsang, who had returned two months earlier than her from abroad. "Yaran, let's go shopping today."

After going to the corner, she smiled and said, "I'm afraid I can't today. I'm at Hospital X."

"Hospital X!" A raised voice came from the other end of the line. Then Qin Sangsang continued, "How did you get in? I thought they wouldn't let anyone in without the patient's permission."

"I told you that one of my brother's friends is seeking treatments in this hospital, didn't I? I wanted to meet Tang Li today, so I lied to him, saying that I left my earrings here when we came to visit him yesterday. That's how I got in."

"Then don't come out just yet. I want to get in too."

"What are you coming here for?"

"I told you that my fiancé is hiding from me in that hospital. I must make him acknowledge me this time."

"You mean the one who got engaged to you when you were young and you only found out about his existence this year? The one you fell in love with at first sight when you first met him?"

"That's right, that's right. You must ask your friend to let me in later."

Without waiting for a reply, she hung up.

Xu Yaran had no clue who her friend's fiancé was. When she came back from abroad, she met up with her friend who told her about how handsome her fiancé was. However, in Xu Yaran's opinion, no one could be more handsome than Qi Yihan.

After the nurses and bodyguards searched around the villa for a while, they told Xu Yaran that they couldn't find her earrings.

Xu Yaran pretended to be sad and disappointed, saying, "Alright, let's just forget about it. It probably means I'll have to go shopping and buy a new pair, although I like it very much."

With that, she went back to the park.

Seeing her, Situ Jin was surprised. "You found the earring really quickly."

"No, we searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Probably, the cleaner mistook it as rubbish and threw it away. If it's already in the garbage dump, there's no need for me to take it back anymore." After saying that, Xu Yaran looked towards the group of people who were still talking.

She asked Situ Jin, "What are they talking about? Why hasn't the conversation ended yet?"

"I don't know." Situ Jin lowered his eyes and started coughing again. After coughing, he stood up and said, "I'm going for a walk. You can leave when you want."

Xu Yaran didn't intend to leave so soon. Looking at Situ Jin, she replied, "Okay, Brother Situ."

Situ Jin looked at her face for a few seconds and warned all of a sudden, "No matter what you do, you have to know when to stop."

Stunned for a moment, she then smiled and nodded at him. "Got it."

After Situ Jin left, Xu Yaran strode towards Tang Li.

When Tang Li spotted Xu Yaran, she was already pretty close.

Looking at her coming closer, Tang Li wondered if she came so early just to look for her.

At this moment, Xu Yaran, who was still in the distance, suddenly shouted "Sister Tang, I didn't expect you to be here."

The moment Xu Yaran spoke, everyone stopped and looked at her.

Doctor Xiang also asked, "Mrs. Qi, is she your friend?"

"No, I don't know her that well."

Tang Li's reply was so straightforward that the smile on Xu Yaran's face almost disappeared. Her expression changed several times before she finally asked with her watery eyes, "Sister Tang, why did you say we're not familiar. The Qi family is very close to my family."

Looking at her, Tang Li crossed her arms. In her life, she hated bitches the most.

"The Qi family is close to a lot of families. Do I have to know every one of them? But thanks to your reminder, I suddenly recalled something. Yesterday, someone told me that a woman named Xu Yaran went to my husband's company to seduce him. Was it you?"

Xu Yaran went black for a second, and then she shouted at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Why are you getting so worked out?" Tang Li asked calmly. She turned to Butler Zhang and asked, "Butler Zhang, is this Miss Xu?"

Chapter 32: You Are Courting Death

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Butler Zhang did not expect Tang Li to throw this question at him. Being stared at by Xu Yaran, Butler Zhang broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, "Madam, can you not involve me in your drama?"

What Tang Li said not only made Butler Zhang feel awkward but also the people around her.

Judging from the expression on Xu Yaran's face, the answer was clear to everyone.

For a moment, no one spoke. The surroundings were enveloped by dead silence where you could hear a pin drop.

However, at this moment, Tang Li suddenly laughed. She shrugged and said, "Oh, people who like my husband can pack up an entire house. I don't really have a clue who you are, and I doubt if your family is really close to the Qi family. By "close", do you mean meeting once or twice in a lifetime?"

What Tang Li added not only did not alleviate the awkwardness, it made it even worse.

Everyone looked at Xu Yaran and thought that she was just here to be humiliated.

Xu Yaran had never interacted with Tang Li before. She heard one thing or two about Tang Li from other people, but she did not expect her to be so good at humiliating people.

She was so angry that she felt a sharp pain attacking her body, and she was determined that she would not go back home without returning the humiliation today.

"Miss Tang, I think there must be some misunderstandings. Brother Yihan and I have known each other since we were young. When we were young, we were very close. But I went overseas to study after junior high school and only came back recently. After staying abroad for a few years, I am greatly influenced by liberalism, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the way I greeted Brother Yihan, and I certainly don't understand why Miss Tang threw all that nasty accusation at me."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. Those who did not know would think that Tang Li was bullying her.

The corners of Tang Li's lips curled up, and she said magnanimously,. "You don't have to explain to me. Only those who are guilty will explain. Anyway, I don't know you. If you don't show up in front of me, I won't even know who you are."

Hearing that, tears welled up even more in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly, not knowing how to talk back now. In her mind, she wanted to pounce on Tang Li and bite her.

Tang Li threw a look at her before turning to the group of doctors who were watching the show. "The early stages of the Azlink disease are mental, but the later stages will result in split personality…"

"Yes, yes, yes. The patient is exactly the way Miss Tang said, but…"

With Tang Li taking the lead, the few doctors started discussing enthusiastically again, deliberately forgetting about Xu Yaran.

Completely ignored by the group of people, Xu Yaran was embarrassed and angry. She was so angry that she was struggling to breathe and contain the boiling anger.

Butler Zhang, who did not understand what Tang Li and the doctors were talking about, kindly advised her, "Miss Xu, it's almost time for dinner. If you haven't eaten, you can go to the hospital's restaurant. The food there is delicious."

When Xu Yaran heard him, she turned around and glared at him fiercely before turning to leave.

Butler Zhang thought to himself with a straight face, "If I knew you were so ungrateful, I'd just leave you standing there in embarrassment."

Tang Li exchanged a few more words with the doctors and was about to head back with Butler Zhang for breakfast.

Doctor Xiang followed along and asked as they walked, "Madam, you said before that if we want to cure Mr. Qi, we need a few more herbs. How many of the herbs have been found?"

"Just one by now, but in the next few days, we can experiment on the drug for cell rebirth."

"Have you and Dr. Augustine developed this drug?"

"In no time."

Doctor Xiang was excited. "That's great. As long as this drug is proven safe, it will be a blessing for all mankind."

Tang Li nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a loud commotion from the corner not far away.

Then, she heard the doctor say anxiously, "Mrs. Qi, let's hurry up and take the other path. Otherwise, we might get hurt by accident."

Tang Li stopped moving and asked, "What's going on over there?"

"Recently, a patient was sent to the hospital. His brain is injured which makes him treat everyone as an enemy."

"Mental illness? Why wasn't he sent to a mental hospital?"

"No, sometimes he's fine, sometimes he's not. And because of his special identity, he can't be sent to a mental hospital."

As the two of them were talking, they saw two people flying out from the corner.

These two people were wearing ordinary clothes, but their aura was different from ordinary people.

Not only was the doctor anxious, but Butler Zhang was also anxious. "Madam, let's leave this place quickly."

Tang Li still did not move. She only said, "You guys leave first. I'll take a look."

"Mrs. Qi now is not the time to watch the show."

"I know."

Just when Tang Li finished speaking, another group of people came out from the other side and surrounded the patient. Two of them had their arms around the patient's neck while the other had his arms around his waist. However, they could not stop him from going crazy.

"Ah… I will kill you all and avenge my brothers!"

"Hou Yong, look closely. We're not your enemies. Don't go crazy!"

"Quick! Stop him!"

"Don't hurt him!"

With a bang, the two people who were grabbing his body were flung away, and the other person was thrown out.

Doctor Xiang and Butler Zhang were terrified.

"Mrs. Qi, let's go!"

"Madam, it'll be too late if we don't leave now!"

At that moment, one of the people who were constraining the patient looked over. When he saw who it was, he was shocked and immediately shouted, "Tang Li, run!"

Tang Li glanced at Ouyang Yi, who was so anxious that his face had turned red and then looked at the man who was obviously mad.

The man looked to be in his thirties. He was tall and sturdy with a crew cut. His facial features were tough and his eyes were red. There was a scar on his face that went from his right eye to his ear, making him look especially scary.

Even so, one could tell right away that this man was a righteous person.

Probably because Ouyang Yi was too loud, the man attacked him with all his might.

With a bang, a punch landed on Ouyang Yi's face and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

At that moment, Tang Li suddenly asked the doctor, "Doctor Xiang, do you have any silver needles or other sharp objects?"

Doctor Xiang was terrified then. When he heard Tang Li's question, he subconsciously said, "There's a syringe."

"Give it to me."

Doctor Xiang passed the syringe to Tang Li. Just when he was about to ask her what she wanted to do, he saw Tang Li walking toward the man.

Tang Li's actions not only startled Doctor Xiang and Butler Zhang, but also Ouyang Yi and the others.

Everyone shouted at her in unison, "Don't go over!"

"Go away!"

Very quickly, the mad man managed to knock down several more people. He then looked at Tang Li with his bloodshot eyes.

Tang Li flipped her wrist and the copper bell appeared. The ringing sound instantly created an invisible wall around them.

Tang Li walked toward him while ringing the bell. "Look carefully.. The people around you are your comrades, not your enemies."

Chapter 33: What Did You Do To Him?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

By then, Tang Li had already walked up to the man.

A pained expression appeared on the man's face.

Soon, he couldn't take it anymore and hugged his head, letting out a beast-like wail.

Tang Li walked up to him and gently placed her hand on his head. Images appeared in her mind.

The man and his companions were members of the Imperial Secret Service. They discovered a laboratory that was harmful to humans. While trying to get the evidence, everyone in his team got killed except him.

Not only did the bad guys kill all of his teammates, but they also took the bodies for experiments. Although He managed to choke down the anger and hurried back to his country, after handing over the evidence to the higher-ups, he collapsed and became mad.

Tang Li withdrew her hand and sighed. She took out the bracelet that she had gotten last night from her pocket and said with a complicated expression, "This can help you control your inner demons. Please get well… The people who sacrificed themselves need you to avenge them, and you have to personally bring them back."

After saying that, the bracelet turned into a wisp of green smoke and floated into the man's body.

Then, she rang the bell, and the space disappeared. The only thing people saw was Tang Li stabbing the man's head with a syringe.

Then, the man closed his eyes and fainted.

"What did you do to him?" After a deafening roar, someone pushed Tang Li away.

Before Tang Li could react, she staggered and fell backward.

Seeing that she was about to hit the flower pot, Ouyang Yi was shocked and was about to leap over to hold her, only to find someone coming out of nowhere and holding Tang Li in his arms.

The impact of hitting on the hard and broad chest caused Tang Li to see stars. After some time, she raised her head and met the familiar cold gaze.

"What are you doing here?" Qi Yihan's asked, looking cold as usual.

Originally, He planned to leave the hospital directly, but when he heard that Situ Jin was hospitalized here as well, he dropped in on him. Only a while into their walk around the park, they ran into this scene.

When he saw that she almost hit the flowerpot, he skipped a beat for some reason. At the same time, he was very angry, thinking to himself, "Since when did this woman become so fearless?"

Tang Li said innocently and matter-of-factly, "Stop him from going crazy. Otherwise, what do you think I am doing here?"

"You're courting death."

He felt like this woman would die from the trouble she made before he could send her the divorce agreement.

Ouyang Yi, who came over one step slower, looked at Qi Yihan and got instantly aggressive. He shouted, "How can you say that about Tang Li?"

Tang Li and Qi Yihan looked at him at the same time.

Qi Yihan glanced at him and let go of Tang Li. He then said to the stunned Doctor Xiang, "Doctor Xiang, can I trouble you to check on the patient?"

Actually, the man had a doctor with him too. However, everyone was stunned by what Tang Li did at that moment.

When Qi Yihan said that, all the doctors returned to their senses.

Doctor Xiang and the other doctors walked over to check on the patient at the same time.

Ouyang Yi was still glaring at Qi Yihan. Although he already had an answer, he still asked, "Tang Li, who is this person?"

"My husband."

Tang Li answered so quickly that even Situ Jin couldn't help but glance at her.

Then he looked at the other two.

Their expressions formed a sharp contrast.

Qi Yihan looked cold as usual, unmoved by how Tang Li introduced him.

Ouyang Yi, on the contrary, had a complicated expression.

The atmosphere became strange all of a sudden.

In the nick of time, Doctor Xiang interrupted, "He's fine. He just fainted."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Tang Li turned to look at the man lying on the ground and said to Ouyang Yi, "Carry your friend back. He should wake up at night. When he wakes up, tell him to come to me tomorrow if he has any questions. I'll read his fortune for free."

1

Everyone was dumbfounded and thought that Tang Li was some kind of witch.

Soon, a group of people carried the patient away.

Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan, who seemed to have something to say, and said, "I'm going back to eat. Goodbye."

After that, she called Butler Zhang and Doctor Xiang to come along with her.

Looking at Qi Yihan who looked solemn and unapproachable, Butler Zhang decided not to ask anything and left with Tang Li.

Doctor Xiang told Qi Yihan, "Madam Qi just tapped on the patient's meridians and acupoints, also known as the Anmian acupoints. She is very skilled and won't bring any side effects to the patient."

With that, he left.

After they left, Qi Yihan and Situ Jin were the only two who remained.

At that moment, Situ Jin asked curiously, "Has Tang Li studied medicine before?"

Qi Yihan frowned and said, "Her father knows medicine."

Then, he said, "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

With that, he left.

Situ Jin fell into deep thought as he watched the departing figure of Qi Yihan.

For some reason, he felt like the relationship between Qi Yihan and Tang Li wasn't all that bad.

When Qi Yihan reached the office, he called his three brothers to his office.

The three of them thought that he was looking for them because of work matters. When they came in, First Master was saying to the other two in an especially arrogant manner, "After this batch of raw stones is carved, we will be able to focus on the luxury market for the next season, and we will definitely make a fortune."

Second Master and Third Master also heard that he had bought a batch of good quality raw stones. Although they felt jealous, they managed to act indifferent and said, "You are quite lucky."

The three of them came in and looked at their little brother sitting on the office chair. First Master pulled a chair over and sat down. He asked in the tone of a big brother, "What did you call us over for"

Second Master and Third Master also went to pull a chair over and sat down.

A three versus one situation immediately formed.

Qi Yihan looked at them and didn't beat around the bush. He said, "Tang Li gave me a recording this morning. She asked me if I should let Father hear it or make it public immediately."

When they heard this, their expressions changed.

Qi Yihan looked at their expressions and a cold smile appeared on his face. "You guys are really capable of coming up with all sorts of ideas just to deal with me. Say, if I bring this recording to my father and say something in front of him, will you guys suffer a great loss or will Tang Li suffer a great loss?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them were shocked.

Second Master immediately shouted, "It has nothing to do with me!"

At a time like this, who would still consider each other as allies? Their father only wanted to see Qi Yihan and Tang Li. As long as the two of them told the old man about this, he would get really angry and give their shares to Tang Li.

First Master and Third Master's faces turned pale.

Gritting his teeth, First Master asked, "What do you want?"

"It's not what I want but more like what you want."

Qi Yihan looked cold as usual. "Tang Li said that she no longer has anything to do with that person… I'll give you guys one day to deal with this matter.. If we're not satisfied with the result, the recording might reach Father's ears tonight."

Chapter 34: You Can Ask Tang Li About That

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"You…"

The blatant threat made First Master and Second Master want to eat Qi Yihan alive, but they had no choice but to comply.

First Master suddenly stood up from his chair and said in a deep voice, "I will immediately get someone to handle this matter."

After saying that, he kicked the chair angrily before striding out.

Third Master stood up as well. "I will send someone to settle this matter as well."

With that said, he left.

Only Second Master lingered a bit longer and said, "Fourth brother, I don't think it's necessary to tell Father about the petty things that happen between us kids."

Qi Yihan looked at him coldly and replied, "You can ask Tang Li about that."

No matter how angry First Master and Third Master were, they could only get someone to handle this matter immediately after they left.

Just like Zhou Qian had said before, Bai Qingyang was just a small celebrity whose career depended entirely on what the capitalist said. If the capitalist wanted to get rid of him, he would be gone for good.

When the higher-ups of the company said that they were going to ban Bai Qingyang, Zhou Qian knew that this person was done for.

That was not all. Ever since Bai Qingyang entered the entertainment industry, everyone he had offended now came out and accused him of all sorts of wrongdoings.

Additionally, more dirt on him was dug out and put online.

Within a few days, Bai Qingyang became a person everyone hated.

Of course, all this happened in the future.

At around ten am, Qi Yihan and First Master received a phone call at the same time.

The top-grade raw stones that First Master and Qi Ming bought turned out to be plain stones.

Qi Yihan and First Master immediately rushed over to the warehouse.

Looking at the stone chippings, First Master was shocked, unable to believe it at all. "How is that possible? It was obvious that there were rare jades inside these stones, even experts said so. Besides, we drilled a small hole into it and saw jade with our own eyes!"

Qi Ming immediately added, "Yes, we drilled a small hole and saw jade."

"Did someone change this raw stone?" First Master asked as he suddenly looked at Manager Li fiercely. "Manager Li, is it you?"

"It's not me!" Manager Li was so scared that his face turned pale. He did not dare to take the blame for this because he would not be able to afford this stone even if he worked for eight lifetimes.

At this moment, Qi Ming only wanted to push the blame away. When his father questioned Manager Li, he followed suit. "I was wondering why you invited me to drink after they left last night. You must have planned this beforehand."

"No, no, no… It's not like that. I didn't do anything! It wasn't me!" Manager Li was filled with regret now. If he had known that such an incident would happen, he wouldn't have invited Qi Ming to drink just to kiss his ass.

Manager Li quickly looked at Qi Yihan. Knowing that he was the one in charge of the Qi family, he immediately swore to him, "Fourth Master, if I do anything to this raw stone, I'll be struck by lightning. You have to believe me. Last night, Second Master and I only drank a bottle of wine before we went to sleep."

"You must have put something in that bottle!"

"No… I didn't!"

"You're still trying to quibble."

"Enough!" The moment Qi Yihan spoke, his powerful aura made them shut up. "Have you checked the surveillance?"

Manager Li quickly replied, "I've checked. According to the footage, no one else entered the warehouse after we left."

"Where's the surveillance room? Lead the way."

Qi Yihan planned to take a look personally.

"Alright, Fourth Master, please follow me."

Qi Yihan went into the surveillance room to check the warehouse surveillance footage from last night. There was indeed nothing strange.

Then, he checked the surveillance cameras in the entire warehouse area and the surveillance cameras on the other side of the wall. There was still nothing unusual.

"How is that possible? Someone must have changed the surveillance. That raw stone might still be hidden in the warehouse!" Qi Ming shouted.

Qi Yihan took out his phone and made a call. When the phone was answered, he said, "I wanna file a case… Our warehouse has lost a top-grade raw stone worth over 60 million. We need to check the entire warehouse district."

Half an hour later, several police cars and several fully armed vehicles arrived, quickly surrounding the entire warehouse area.

In a matter of seconds, the entire warehouse district was under control, and people started discussing.

"What's going on? Did something happen? Why are there so many police officers? I heard that there are armed men outside."

"I guess some warehouses are robbed, and the items lost must be worth more than ten million."

"Hiss…"

Soon, every warehouse received a search warrant which made people panic.

However, no one dared to not cooperate. Even if they did not know what exactly happened, everyone knew that something must have been lost in the Qi family's warehouse.

A few hours passed.

The police chief said to Qi Yihan, "We've searched the entire warehouse area, but we still haven't found the raw stone that was lost. Are you sure it's gone?"

"Very sure!"

"Definitely lost!"

First Master and Qi Ming spoke at the same time.

Qi Ming said, "My father and I personally went to take a look at the raw stones we bought this time, especially some of the expensive ones. We drilled a small hole into them on our way back and saw rare jades in them with our own eyes."

The police chief fell into deep thought. "That's strange. The raw stone you mentioned is at least seventy to eighty kilograms. It should not be hard to find it."

He turned to Qi Yihan.

Qi Yihan was also deep in thought. After a while, he said to Manager Li, "Immediately get someone to open the other few pieces."

Hearing that, everyone was stunned.

Then, everyone went to the area where raw stones were carved.

This time, First Master and Qi Ming went to the raw stone production site and bought more than ten tons of raw stones, as well as some rare raw stones, which cost them nearly two billion. According to their plan, as long as they turned these rare raw stones into high-end jewelry, they would be able to profit.

When the second piece of rare raw stones turned out to be just stone, First Master shuddered violently and almost fainted. Qi Ming hurriedly supported him. Both of their faces were ashen.

Qi Yihan's expression was frighteningly dark.

The police chief had been accompanying them all this while. When he saw the situation, he asked, "Was it like this when you bought it?"

"Impossible!" First Master retorted loudly. "These aren't the raw stones we bought. Someone must have exchanged it."

Then, he looked at Manager Li. "You are the manager of this warehouse. It must be you, Officer. I want to arrest him and interrogate him."

"I didn't." Manager Li was so anxious that he was about to cry. He quickly looked at Qi Yihan. "Fourth Master, I've been looking after the warehouse for six to seven years. You should know what kind of person I am. I didn't exchange these raw stones. Please believe me."

"Why should we believe you?"

Now, as long as they could push the blame away, First Master and Qi Ming didn't care if there was any evidence.

"You are the one who looks after the warehouse. Only you have the ability to steal it. Who else could it be but you!"

"It must be you. Besides you, everyone in the warehouse could be your accomplice!"

"I didn't! It wasn't me!"

"Enough!" Qi Yihan growled.. After they shut up, he said to the gemcutter, "Cut the other pieces as well."

Chapter 35: This Is Your Family's Internal Conflict, Not an imprisonment

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The result of this incident could be imagined. First Master and Qi Ming especially spent a large sum of money to buy a few pieces of top-grade raw stones, which turned out to be plain stones. This directly caused the Qi family to lose almost one billion yuan (these few pieces were all half-gambling raw stones and were especially expensive).

This time, even if First Master and Qi Ming wanted to push the blame to Manager Li, they couldn't. After all, a few pieces of raw stones added up to several tons. Unless Manager Li was Hercules, it was impossible for him to move such a heavy item.

Qi Yihan looked at them sharply and gave them two choices. "Take out this money from your own pockets to make up for the loss. Or I'll use my status as CEO to fire you."

"How dare you!" First Master was now like an angry beast without a sense of reason. He wanted nothing more than to tear the man in front of him apart. "You must have arranged all of this. I personally went to buy the best raw stones, so it's impossible for every piece to be plain stone. Qi Yihan, in order to obtain all of my father's inheritance, did you not even care about the fact that I am your brother?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yihan's lips curled into a mocking smile. He didn't plan on talking to him at all and told the bodyguards beside him, "Send them back to the Qi Mansion. Before taking out this sum of money, you're grounded at home."

1

"Qi Yihan, what right do you have to ground us? Do you believe I will sue you for imprisonment?"

"Sure, Chief Chen is right here. You can sue me right now."

Chief Chen was definitely on Qi Yihan's side, and his expression immediately turned serious. "This is an internal conflict in your family. It can't be considered imprisonment."

First Master glared at him as though he wanted to eat him alive and was about to curse Qi Yihan.

Qi Yi said coldly, "I'm going to visit Father now. If you say one more word, everything that happened today will reach Father's ears."

"You… you…"

First Master was so furious that he actually fainted.

"Father! Father!"

Qi Ming was terrified. He called his father at the peak of his voice and then carried him away.

When Qi Yihan and Chief Chen were the only two left in the warehouse, Chief Chen asked Qi Yihan, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"

First Master and Qi Ming were not fools. It was impossible for them to spend so much just for some plain stones. Something must have happened.

Qi Yihan pondered for a few seconds before saying, "Something might have happened on their way back."

Otherwise, it would not make sense at all.

Chief Chen thought so. "If that's the case, the Qi family will suffer a huge loss this time."

"Since they're the ones responsible, I'll let them fill up the losses."

Since it was their fault, the Qi family would not bear the loss for them.

Looking at Qi Yihan who looked cold and expressionless, Chief Chen shook his head and made no further comments.

Chief Chen glanced at his watch and said, "It's already past ten. Since we haven't found anything, I'll leave first. You should go back and rest too."

"Yeah. Thanks for today."

"What's there to thank? As a public servant, it's our duty to serve the people."

Chief Chen left after saying that.

After Chief Chen left with his men, Qi Yihan gathered all the warehouse staff and said a few words before leaving.

"Fourth Master, wait."

Manager Li chased after him and stopped him. "Fourth Master, thank you for believing me. There were some things that I couldn't say previously, but I thought I needed to tell you."

Qi Yihan looked at him and said, "You can speak your mind."

"It's just that… there are some things you might not believe if I tell you, but I think it's real."

Intimidated by Qi Yihan's powerful aura, Manager Li stuttered. "It's that… I think the raw stones that First Master brought back are fine, and they weren't swapped."

"After the raw stones arrived, I especially took a closer look. Through the small hole, I indeed saw top-grade jades."

"I heard people from my hometown say that jades have spiritual energy and can attract… I think it might have been stolen by something invisible."

As Qi Yihan listened to him, he frowned but did not deny it. For some reason, the first person that came across his mind was Tang Li.

"Fourth… Fourth Master."

Qi Yihan returned to his senses and looked at him. "I'll get someone to take a look. Take care of the warehouse."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the car.

After the car drove out of the warehouse district, Qi Yihan massaged his throbbing temples and suddenly said to the driver, "Go to the hospital."

Tang Li had been staying in Dr. Augustine's laboratory with the three doctors since the afternoon. She only came out at around midnight.

They all looked tired and excited after coming out of the laboratory.

Augustine was so excited that he waved his arms and said, "The experiment is in progress. I will stay in the laboratory for the next few days. As long as the cells are alive, we can call it a success."

Dr. Xiang was also very excited. He adjusted his glasses and said, "As long as this experiment succeeds, Dr. Augustine and Mrs. Qi will be the leaders of cell rebirth. When the time comes, you guys will be remembered by generations to come."

"Haha, as long as it can bring benefits to humanity."

The four of them walked for a while and arrived at the passageway.

Augustine said, "Miss Tang, let me walk you there."

"No need." Tang Li refused. "The villa I'm staying in is right over there. You don't have to go out of your way."

With that, she left.

Augustine said, looking at Tang Li as she went away, "If only Miss Tang could join my laboratory."

Doctor Xiang and Mr. Yun looked at each other but did not say anything.

Tang Li soon arrived at the door of the villa. Normally, Butler Zhang would stand by the door to wait for her, but she did not see him tonight.

Tang Li was still confused when she heard footsteps coming from behind. Tang Li turned around and saw Butler Zhang walking over from the old man's villa. When he saw Tang Li, he quickly walked over and said to her, "Madam, Master is here, but he's sitting on a nearby chair. He told me not to disturb you."

Tang Li was surprised. "When did he arrive?"

"Half an hour ago."

"Why is he here at this time?" Tang Li asked. Without waiting for Butler Zhang's reply, she walked over.

Butler Zhang wanted to stop her but gave up eventually.

Although Master said that he wouldn't disturb Madam, she just left the laboratory and found it out herself.

Tang Li soon saw Qi Yihan sitting there.

It was the middle of April and the wind was blowing. The man was wearing a suit and leaning against the chair, his eyes closed and his head slightly raised.

The light from the street lamps mixed with the moonlight shone on his extraordinarily handsome face. At this moment, he gave off an unapproachable feeling. His noble aura made him seem like a god.

Tang Li watched for a while before walking over.

Chapter 36: Tang Li Tells Qi Yihan to Believe in Science

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Tang Li walked over, Qi Yihan opened his eyes and looked at her.

His eyes were deep and sharp. When he looked at someone, he gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.

Tang Li, on the other hand, did not feel oppressed at all. She walked up to him and stood in front of him. After studying his face for a while, she said, "You ran into trouble today, and you still haven't solved it, have you?"

Qi Yihan looked at her without saying anything.

Tang Li did not mind and continued, "Let me guess what kind of trouble you encountered."

She rested her chin on her hand and fell into deep thought.

Qi Yihan just looked at her like that.

He found that Tang Li liked to stand in front of him recently.

This was the second time she talked to him standing while he was sitting.

In the past, he had never thought that he would pay close attention to her. Now, he found that she always carried a confidence and calmness that could not be ignored. It was as if there was nothing that she did not know and could not solve.

Qi Yihan suddenly asked her a question. "Do you believe that there are things in this world that we cannot see?"

"No!"

Tang Li answered too quickly, making Qi Yihan feel that she was lying.

Tang Li smiled at him and said, "We need to believe in science."

Qi Yihan was speechless. What she said now was so much different from what she said this morning.

For some reason, Tang Li felt a great urge to explain. She walked to his side and sat down, then started to tell him why he should believe in science.

"Look, there are many things that can be explained by science. For example, the ghost fire older generations are so afraid of is just phosphorescence? Also, the ghost wall that everyone thinks is related to Earth's magnetic field, and…"

Qi Yihan tilted his head and looked at Tang Li, who was sitting beside him. His gaze unconsciously landed on her talking mouth. He didn't realize before that this woman was such a good talker.

But as he listened to her speak, he actually felt very relaxed.

"Also, before the natural disaster comes, people will see many animals fleeing. They will think that it is a sign from the mountain god. In fact, it is just the crustal movement. The animals will sense it faster than humans."

After talking for a while, Tang Li stopped and licked her lips. She suddenly felt thirsty.

Qi Yihan asked, "You seem to know a lot about science?"

"Of course, I'm…"

Tang Li suddenly shut up as she remembered that this was not reality. The Host did not know much about science.

"You are what?"

Qi Yihan narrowed his eyes and deliberately lowered his voice, sounding a little magnetic and husky.

Tang Li could not take it anymore. She raised her hand to cover her ears and tilted her head to look at him. She said, "How can you use such a voice to talk to me? This is irresistible!"

Qi Yihan did not understand what she meant. Noticing that he was acting too close to her, he put on his usual cold expression again.

Tang Li continued, "I finally understand what it's like to have a voice that makes your ears pregnant. Ah, Qi Yihan, how about saying a few more words with that voice? I like it."

"…"

Qi Yihan's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head away and asked in a deep voice, "Tang Li, do you talk so much in front of everyone?"

Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan, who was looking ahead and frowned. "No way. I'm usually too lazy to talk to others."

As a master, she always acted cool and talked little.

"Aren't you my husband? As your wife, I have to be concerned about your mental health."

Tang Li spoke it so naturally that Qi Yihan's heart skipped a beat again.

He tilted his head to look into her eyes and found that they were sparkling like the brightest star in the night sky.

Tang Li actually felt a little embarrassed from being stared at. She asked awkwardly, "Why? You don't believe me?"

Qi Yihan withdrew his gaze and looked at the moon in the sky. His tone was solemn as he said, "It's getting late. Go back and rest."

Tang Li looked at his side face and frowned. She reminded him, "Recently, you'll be having a lot of trouble. Be careful."

She stood up and walked towards the villa.

The next morning, as soon as Tang Li got up and went downstairs, she heard voices coming from outside the door.

She walked to the door and saw Butler Zhang standing in the courtyard, talking to the two people standing outside.

One of them was Ouyang Yi, and the other was the man who went crazy yesterday.

"Madam hasn't woken up yet. If the two of you want to look for her, you can come over later."

Tang Li did not go over. She stood by the door and said to Butler Zhang, "Butler Zhang, they can come in."

The moment Tang Li spoke, the two people outside the door looked over at the same time.

Ouyang Yi waved at her and smiled brightly. "Morning, Tang Li."

Tang Li nodded and turned around to walk into the living room.

Butler Zhang looked at the young man, who was unusually enthusiastic about Madam and felt instantly alarmed, wondering if he was into Madam.

He was ready to protect the marriage between his master and madam.

Butler Zhang took them to the living room.

Tang Li was already sitting on the sofa. She tilted her head to look at the two people who were walking over. She raised her chin and gestured for them to come over and sit.

Ouyang Yi should be 1.85 meters tall. The man was even taller than him. When he was not crazy, his eyes were especially firm, and every step he took carried a powerful iron-blooded aura.

The two of them sat opposite Tang Li.

The man placed his hands on his knees and sat upright. He spoke first, "Hello, my name is Hou Yong."

Probably because his throat had been injured before, his voice sounded especially hoarse and a little harsh.

Tang Li did not mind and nodded at him.

Hou Yong added, "Thank you for stopping me from going crazy yesterday."

These words stunned Ouyang Yi, who was sitting beside him, and Butler Zhang, who had just returned after getting the servants to make tea.

At the next moment, Ouyang Yi asked in disbelief and shock, "Hou Yong, have you recovered from your mania?"

"Right. I am."

Ouyang Yi still did not believe it. "How are you sure that you are fine?"

Hou Yong pointed at his head. "I can feel it."

Ouyang Yi then looked at Tang Li, and the light in his eyes grew brighter. "Tang Li, I didn't expect you to be so powerful to be able to cure Hou Yong's illness. But… When did you learn medicine?"

Tang Li, "When you don't know."

1

Ouyang Yi was speechless.

Tang Li then looked at Hou Yong.

Seeing that Tang Li was looking at him, Hou Yong said seriously, "I remember what Miss Tang said to me yesterday. You're right. I want to avenge my comrades and bring them back."

Ouyang Yi was dumbfounded. "When did Tang Li say that to you?"

Hou Yong didn't answer him but continued, "I want to ask Miss Tang if I can bring them all back."

At this moment, his eyes were filled with pain and confusion. The power behind that laboratory was too strong. He did not want another group of his comrades to die.

"Yes," Tang Li said.. "As long as you want to bring them back, you can definitely bring them back. However…"

Chapter 37: That Is A Secret

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

"However what?"

Tang Li did not answer him. Instead, she told Butler Zhang. "Butler Zhang, get a pen and a piece of paper."

Butler Zhang quickly brought the two items over.

Tang Li split the piece of paper into two and quickly wrote down two lines of words on it. Then, she folded the paper and handed it to him. "When you're in trouble, open one of the papers. When you return to your country, open the other one. Remember, the trouble I'm talking about is when you're about to die."

Hou Yong's body trembled. He quickly stood up and walked to her, took the paper with both hands, and put it away. He bowed deeply to her and actually trusted her words. "After I bring all of them back, my life will belong to Miss Tang!"

After saying that, he strode away.

Ouyang Yi, who came back to his senses after a while, asked, "Hou Yong left just like that?"

Then, he turned to Tang Li and asked curiously, "Tang Li, what did you write on the paper?"

Tang Li glanced at him and said, "That is a secret. Are your teeth okay now?"

"Er…"

Hearing that, Ouyang Yi subconsciously covered his mouth. The punch he received yesterday had indeed knocked out one of his teeth. He was planning to fix it up.

1

However, his teeth were beside the point. He only wanted to know why Tang Li had become a fortune-teller.

"Tang Li, didn't you say that you wanted to be a diplomat when you were in high school? Why didn't you become a diplomat? Instead, you studied medicine and became a fortune-teller?"

When Ouyang Yi asked this question, his emotions became even more complicated. He felt that Tang Li had changed a lot after not seeing her for a few years. She had become someone he did not know.

However, Tang Li let out a chuckle. She now looked especially like that of a great teacher. She leaned her back against the chair and did not answer. Instead, she asked, "How about I read your fortune? If I get it right, you pay me."

Ouyang Yi asked in a daze, "What can you read?"

"I can read your future, your fate, or your marriage."

"You're already married. Who else can I marry?"

3

Tang Li was speechless.

Butler Zhang was speechless, too.

Butler Zhang could not stand it anymore, so he purposely said to Tang Li, "Madam, breakfast is ready."

Tang Li glanced at him before returning her gaze to Ouyang Yi's face. She planned to make this young man, who still had some fantasies about the Host, give up completely. "Ouyang Yi, you really like me, right?"

Butler Zhang was shocked.

At this moment, he heard footsteps approaching from the courtyard.

Upon turning around, he saw Qi Yihan, and then he broke out in cold sweat.

Qi Yihan's expression was calm and his eyes were cold. When Tang Li asked Ouyang Yi this question, he stopped and gave Butler Zhang a look to shut up.

Butler Zhang turned around with difficulty and looked at Tang Li anxiously. He screamed internally, "Madam, stop asking. Master is here!"

Tang Li did not even notice how anxious Butler Zhang was. Her gaze was fixed on Ouyang Yi, who was sitting opposite her.

Ouyang Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at. He turned his head away and said with a hint of disappointment, "What's the use of liking you? You're already married."

Tang Li hummed in agreement. "You're right. I'm already married. Besides… even if I'm not married, it's impossible for me to like you."

Ouyang Yi suddenly turned around and looked at her. He raised his voice subconsciously. "Why? What's wrong with me?"

Tang Li clicked her tongue, thinking that the Host was only into pretty boys. You're a tough man, it would be weird if she took a fancy to you!

However, she still had to make things clear. After all, it was not easy to do business in a time like this. She still wanted to develop Ouyang Yi as a client. "Whether I like him or not doesn't matter. You are not my type, so I don't like you."

Ouyang Yi looked like he had suffered a huge blow.

Tang Li was the crush of his youth and the bride that he had tried so hard to marry after all these years. But she was now telling him that she was married and had never liked him.

Ouyang Yi touched his face and said, "I know. I will disappear in your life forever."

With that, he stood up to leave.

"Wait." Tang Li stopped him. When he turned to look at her with excitement, she asked, "Are you really not going to ask me to read your fortune? I can read anything… Of course, as long as you can afford it."

Hearing that, Ouyang Yi, who had some hope for her, became hopeless.

However, when he saw Tang Li's expectant gaze, he could not reject her. He said casually, "Then if I can join the organization I want."

He wanted to join Mo Xiao, the organization where Hou Yong was also a member.

Tang Li shook her head and said, "That organization is not suitable for you. You can join another organization that you have thought about. That one is where you shine."

Ouyang Yi's body trembled. He widened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief. "How do you know I have two choices?"

"Because I am a fortune-teller." Tang Li extended her hand toward him. "Five hundred thousand."

"What?"

1

"The starting price for my fortune-telling is five hundred thousand. Since we're acquaintances, I'll charge you the starting price."

"…"

Butler Zhang, who was standing next to her, thought to himself, "Madam, why don't you just rob him? Do you think this person in front of you is so foolish as to give you that much money?"

Ouyang Yi suddenly felt that he and Tang Li were not the same kinds of people. She asked for five hundred thousand, but he could not bring himself to fork out that much money. Finally, he thought about it and pulled out a jade pendant from his neck. He handed it to her, saying, "I don't have that much money on me. Can I use this jade pendant to pay for it?"

Butler Zhang was saying internally, "Young man, stop being so silly!"

Tang Li looked at the jade pendant in front of her but did not accept it. She said, "This jade pendant will save your life, so I won't accept it. You can pay in installments."

Then, she added, "If there's a chance in the future, introduce me to a few clients."

Ouyang Yi said with a tense voice, "…Okay, goodbye."

With that, he strode out of the door at a fast pace as if he was chased by a beast.

1

Ouyang Yi walked out of the living room and met Qi Yihan, who was standing in the courtyard.

He suddenly stopped.

The man opposite him was wearing a black suit. He just stood there and looked at him calmly. For some reason, Ouyang Yi felt a strong pressure, the kind of which he would feel in front of his father.

However, at the thought that this man was Tang Li's husband, he felt indignant. He strode toward him and said to him in a domineering tone, "Treat Tang Li well. If I find out that you bully her, I'll bring my men to punish you."

With that said, he lifted his chin and walked towards the door.

Hearing Ouyang Yi's voice, Tang Li knew that Qi Yihan had arrived.

She rushed to the door and saw Qi Yihan.

Tang Li asked in surprise, "You didn't go back last night?"

"Yeah." Qi Yihan walked towards her with a calm expression. "I didn't hear about Father's condition yesterday.. You can tell me now."

Chapter 38: Isn't She Aware That She Is Revealing A Lot?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Last night, Qi Yihan came over and intended to stay for just a while, but after chatting with Tang Li, he changed his mind and decided to stay in the guest room of the old man's villa.

After hearing what he said, Tang Li smiled and narrowed her eyes. "I was going to take a walk first. If you want to hear about Father's condition, we can talk in the living room. We can have breakfast then."

Qi Yihan had no intention of interrupting her plan. "You can go for a walk now. I'll go with you. After you tell me about Father's condition, I'll go to the office."

Tang Li studied his face carefully and suddenly walked up to him. She raised her hand and placed it on his forehead. When she felt that his forehead was a little hot, she said disapprovingly, "You need to rest well. You're having a slight fever. It must be from overwork."

Qi Yihan did not expect Tang Li to suddenly do this. When she placed her cool hand on his forehead, his body trembled. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose, making him feel dizzy.

Tang Li quickly withdrew her hand and pulled on his shirt, leading him into the villa. "This hospital has a kind of medicine that's very good for reducing fever. Take one first, or else you'll feel very uncomfortable today."

Qi Yihan looked down at the hand that was holding onto his shirt. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes, but he moved inside with her.

Butler Zhang, who was standing at the side, was not able to believe what he saw.

How could Madam be so good!

Could it be that she wanted Master to do something again, so she treated him well?

No, no, no. In the past, when she needed Master's help, she never treated Master well. Could it be that she had started to realize that Master was much better than that gigolo and changed her mind?

But was she sincere this time?

When Butler Zhang was trying to figure out her true motive, Tang Li called out to him, "Butler Zhang, go get the medicine."

Butler Zhang was shocked and quickly replied, "Yes, Madam."

Tang Li made Qi Yihan sit on the sofa. When she saw that he was sitting upright, she purposely pressed his shoulders against the back of the chair. "Don't stiffen your body. Relax and lean against me."

Qi Yihan looked at the woman standing in front of him. She hadn't had time to comb her hair just yet. As Tang Li leaned towards him, a few strands of hair fell down and landed on his shoulders.

In addition, she was wearing a V-neck sweater inside and a loose sweater outside.

As she leaned forward, the V-neck revealed most of her body.

There was an inexplicable tension in the air. Qi Yihan thought that he had great self-control and could resist all women. But at a time like this, he felt his heart beating faster than usual, so he looked away, thinking to himself, "Isn't she aware that she is revealing a lot?"

Tang Li indeed was not aware of it. However, after Qi Yihan leaned back in his chair, she stood up straight and said, "People like you are always like this. They don't care about their health when they work. If they die, what's the point of earning so much money?"

Qi Yihan looked at her with his deep eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't you want money?"

Tang Li smiled at him and said honestly, "Of course I do, but money is not everything to me."

These words immediately reminded Qi Yihan of what she had done previously. All his calmness was shattered, and his lips curled into a mocking smile. "Money is definitely not everything to you."

"Because you get money from me!" Qi Yihan thought to himself. He then closed his eyes and remained quiet.

Tang Li looked at his face for a few seconds before walking over to sit opposite him. She told him seriously, "I won't use your money anymore. I can earn my own money."

Qi Yihan did not open his eyes.

At that moment, Butler Zhang brought in the medicine Tang Li requested.

Tang Li took the medicine and said to Qi Yihan, "Take it."

Only then did Qi Yihan open his eyes. He looked at the traditional Chinese medicine that smelt awful in front of him and frowned.

Seeing his reaction, Tang Li asked, "Don't you like Chinese medicine?"

Qi Yihan picked up the medicine and said, "No one likes it." Then, he swallowed the medicine in one go.

Only then did Tang Li start talking about his father. "We haven't started treating your father yet, but I've arranged some food for him these past two days. His body has been dying from various organ failures, so…"

As soon as Tang Li mentioned his father's illness, Qi Yihan started to listen attentively.

When Tang Li was almost done, Butler Zhang brought them breakfast.

The two of them finished their breakfast in silence. Tang Li suddenly said to Qi Yihan, "Supernatural things do exist, but we have a rule that states that we should coexist peacefully with them. If something is lost at home, most likely it is stolen by men."

1

Qi Yihan looked at her, his brows furrowed. He seemed to be pondering over her words and also suspecting her.

But in the end, he left without saying anything.

Tang Li looked at the departing figure and lowered her eyes as she mumbled, "I have to let the male and female leads continue their plot."

1

So she wouldn't tell him anything directly.

At around ten am, two cars suddenly parked outside Tang Li's villa.

Butler Zhang did not know who it was and quickly went over to take a look.

Two middle-aged men in suits got out of the first car and then quickly walked to the car behind them.

Two people who looked like guards alighted from the second car, followed by a person who looked muscular and well-built. Butler Zhang knew instantly that these people weren't coming over for no reason.

At this moment, a group of people had already walked to the door. One of the middle-aged men in a suit asked politely, "Is Miss Tang here?"

Butler Zhang calmed himself down and asked, "Why are you looking for Madam?"

Seeing Butler Zhang's vigilant expression, the middle-aged man comforted him, "Sir, don't be nervous. We came here to thank Miss Tang for treating a patient's mania."

Butler Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the two people in the morning were obviously from the same department with this man, as they all wore the same windbreakers. Knowing that his identity was not simple, Butler Zhang quickly said, "Madam has gone to the laboratory. Why don't you all come in and sit in the living room for a while, I'll go get her immediately."

"Thank you, sir."

Butler Zhang found Tang Li and secretly told her about it.

Hearing that, Tang Li thought they might be clients Ouyang Yi introduced to her, so she said to the other three doctors, "Someone is looking for me. I need to go back first. You guys continue with the experiment."

The three of them did not object.

When Tang Li and Butler Zhang walked into the living room of the villa, the three people sitting there looked over at the same time, and surprise flashed across their eyes.

One of them asked in surprise, "Are you Miss Tang?"

Chapter 39: Brother Yang, I Feel Like Madam's Soul Has Been Possessed By Someone!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tang Li walked over with a powerful aura and sat down. She asked directly, "Why are you looking for me?"

The two men in suits were initially surprised at Tang Li's young age, but after she walked in, their expressions turned serious.

The woman opposite him was not to be underestimated.

At this moment, one of the middle-aged men in a suit spoke first. "Miss Tang, hello. I'm the general manager of this hospital, Li Zepeng."

The other person introduced himself, "I'm the assistant manager of this hospital, Chang Jili."

"This is…" Li Zepeng and Chang Jili looked at each other before saying," This is Mr. Meng. "

"Mr. Meng came to ask you a few questions. You… don't need to be afraid."

Li Zepeng felt that the last four words he said were superfluous.

Tang Li nodded and looked at Mr. Meng. "What do you want to know?"

Mr. Meng glanced at the men in a suit beside him.

The two men in suits immediately stood up.

"We won't disturb your conversation then. Mr. Meng, if you need anything, you can send someone to call us."

It was obvious that the two of them were just here to show the way. After Li Zepeng finished speaking, the two of them left immediately.

After they left, Tang Li asked Butler Zhang to leave as well.

After everyone had left, Mr. Meng said, "I'm Hou Yong's superior. Ever since he came back, there was something wrong with him psychologically. He's not mentally ill. He just couldn't get over his comrades' deaths and had a mental breakdown."

Tang Li looked at Mr. Meng but did not reply.

Mr. Meng continued, "Before we sent him to this hospital, we found many doctors to treat him. There are all kinds of doctors, including doctors who treat mental illnesses and… people who study supernatural things."

At this point, Mr. Meng suddenly stopped. He sized Tang Li up with his sharp gaze as if he wanted to see through her heart.

Tang Li met his gaze without fear.

Mr. Meng was a little surprised but did not show it.

He continued to ask, "We tried everything we could but to no avail. I heard Miss Tang only spoke a few words to Hou Yong and he recovered?"

"There were a lot of people watching yesterday." Tang Li's lips curled up slightly, and her face was calm. "Mr. Meng, what exactly do you want to say? You can just say it, but before you say anything, let me say something first."

Under Mr. Meng's even harsher gaze, the smile on Tang Li's lips deepened. "I'm a fortune-teller, so you'll have to pay for it. If you want me to read your fortune, you'll have to give me what I want."

Mr. Meng was taken aback. He seemed to be in disbelief at Tang Li's words. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly smiled. This smile was not as stern as before, but rather, more amiable.

He went straight to the point. "The main reason I came today was to confirm that you really treated Hou Yong. After all, having that illness, he isn't suitable to go on a mission. But early this morning, I received a call from him saying that he wants to go on a mission again. To be honest, I was really shocked at that time."

"People in our department were all the best of the best, although we don't have many people. Those who went on the mission with him didn't come back. I don't want him to end up the same."

At this point, Mr. Meng sighed. There was an unconcealable sadness in his voice. "But I can't stop him, and we can't leave the bodies of teammates in that place forever."

Tang Li pursed her lips slightly as she listened to him, but she did not comment.

Mr. Meng looked at Tang Li and suddenly asked, "Other than fortune-telling, what else can Miss Tang do?"

Tang Li explained the scope of her business. "I know how to read fortunes, practice geomancy, treat illnesses…"

Mr. Meng nodded and asked, "Does that mean Miss Tang believes that there are ghosts in this world?"

Tang Li stared into Mr. Meng's eyes for a few seconds. Instead of answering, she asked, "Mr. Meng, do you believe in unnatural science?"

She thought that higher-ups like him only believed in science.

Mr. Meng seemed to have noticed Tang Li's confusion and replied, "Our department is different from other departments. We not only believe in science, but we also believe in unnatural science."

Tang Li smiled and nodded. "What a coincidence. I have the same idea as you."

These words amused Mr. Meng. The atmosphere between the two suddenly became relaxed.

The two of them were chatting happily in the living room. Butler Zhang, who was standing in the corner of the courtyard, was burning with anxiety.

He decided to give Butler Yang a call. However, he was afraid that Mr. Meng's subordinates would hear him, so he covered his mouth and lowered his voice. "I can confirm that that person must be someone important. Why would such a person suddenly come to look for Madam? Why do I feel so uneasy?"

After hearing him, Butler Yang asked him, "During the time Madam was chatting with that person, did you hear any loud scolding or raised voices from inside?"

"Nope."

"Then just wait. Waiting is the best strategy for now. If anything really happens, call me immediately."

"Alright!"

In the living room.

Tang Li and Mr. Meng talked for nearly half an hour before the conversation ended.

In the end, Mr. Meng asked for Tang Li's phone number. "I think I might look for Miss Tang to do business in the future. Why don't you give me your phone number so that I can contact you?"

Tang Li told him her number without hesitation and added, "I have a wide range of business. As long as Mr. Meng can afford it, feel free to contact me at any time."

Mr. Meng smiled and nodded. After jotting down her number, he stood up and said, "I won't disturb Miss Tang then."

Tang Li stood up and walked him out.

After the car drove away, Butler Zhang was even more confused. If he wasn't wrong, Dadam and that middle-aged man just walked out, chatting and laughing.

2

So, it wasn't that Madam got into trouble and the higher-ups came to arrest her?

If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't believe in demons and monsters, he would have thought that Madam had been possessed.

Tang Li glanced at Butler Zhang, who was standing there in a daze and then headed toward the laboratory.

Butler Zhang was really curious about why that person was looking for her, so he asked, "Madam, why was that person looking for you just now…"

At this point, he suddenly realized that he had overstepped his boundaries and quickly stopped.

Of course, Tang Li could guess what he wanted to ask. She smiled and said, "I think I have another big client."

Then, she looked up at Butler Zhang and asked, "Butler Zhang, are you really not going to look for me to read your fortune? The price is quite cheap now but when I get famous, it's gonna be unaffordable for you."

Hearing that, he said with a straight face, "No need, I believe in science."

Tang Li narrowed her eyes and nodded in agreement. "It's right to believe in science."

With that, she left.

Butler Zhang was left standing there in confusion.

After Tang Li walked out of his sight, Butler Zhang gave Butler Yang a call and said in fear, "Brother Yang, I feel like Madam's soul has been possessed by someone!"

Chapter 40: The Incense Burner of the Qi Family Ancestral Hall Has Been Lost

The doctors in the hospital soon found out that Tang Li had cured Hou Yong.

Throughout the day, Doctor Xiang had been receiving several calls from his colleagues.

When he answered the call, he would smile and say to Tang Li, "Mrs. Qi, this is the fifth person who called me to find you. They invited you to lunch at the medical staff cafeteria."

"I think they're aiming at something different from having a lunch with Miss tang." Augustine joked, "Miss Tang if you treat two more patients, the Boss of this hospital will beg you to stay."

Tang Li was calm. She looked at the data that Augustine recorded and said, "I don't want to be a doctor. I don't even have time for my personal life if I become one."

She only wanted to keep an eye on Qi Yihan and prevent him from having any thoughts of divorcing her. As for the rest, as long as she wanted to, she could easily do it by helping a rich person, so she wouldn't bother to become a doctor.

Tang Li's words made the three of them fall silent for a while. Augustine said, "Miss Tang, why don't you join my laboratory? All you need to do is come over once in a while, and you can do whatever you want with the rest of your time."

"I can't."

Tang Li refused directly. "I don't like staying in the lab either."

Augustine was extremely disappointed. "With Miss Tang's capabilities, as long as we work together to develop treatments for the terminal illnesses in the world, we will be able to obtain the highest honor in the medical field. By then, we will have both fame and fortune."

"No need."

She would have her island in half a month. When that time came, she would build a herbal garden and a pharmaceutical lab. Not to mention all kinds of terminal illnesses, she could even create elixirs.

When Doctor Xiang and Mr. Yun saw Tang Li's straightforward rejection, they both abandoned the thought of asking her to join their labs.

Due to what happened yesterday, Tang Li became a celebrity in the hospital. Many doctors wanted to see her and discuss medicine with her.

On Qi Yihan's side.

As soon as he left the hospital, he made a call and sent someone to secretly look for a master to go to the warehouse. At the same time, he also sent people to look for clues everywhere. After a day, there was actually no progress at all.

But at this moment, news of the missing incense burner came from the Qi Mansion.

Qi Yihan rushed back to the Qi Mansion.

When he got back, the family of First Master was present, as well as Second Madam and Third Madam were also present. The others were either working or had yet to rush back from school.

Qi Yihan asked, "What exactly happened?"

As soon as First Master and First Madam saw Qi Yihan, they were so angry that they wanted to rip him apart and eat him alive. The juniors were also angry and didn't want to talk to him.

It was Second Madam who said, "Today is the fifteenth. When First Madam, Third Madam, and I went to the ancestral hall to offer incense, we found that the Song Dynasty incense burner was missing. We searched the entire mansion but still couldn't find it."

Qi Yihan's sharp gaze turned to First Master.

First Master's face turned red as he roared at him, "Qi Yihan, what's with that look in your eyes? Do you think I took the incense burner? Let me tell you, if you really suspect us, you have to show us the evidence today. Otherwise, we'll go to our father and tell him. We're both our father's sons. Do you really think you're the only one who can visit him but I can't?"

It was their father who said First Master mustn't go to the hospital, but if he insisted on going, then the hospital wouldn't dare to stop him.

Qi Yihan's gaze turned even sharper. He asked the Second Madam, "When did you find the incense burner missing?"

The Qi family had a lot of antiques, and the incense burner was only one of them. However, rich families valued the things in the ancestral hall very much. If the incense burner was lost, there would always be an ominous feeling. That was why everyone reacted so strongly.

Second Madam replied, "I don't know. We've checked the surveillance camera footage at the ancestral hall for the past few days. Other than the servants who went in to clean, no one else went in."

"Have you interrogated the servants who cleaned the ancestral hall?"

"Yes, but nothing came out of them."

Qi Yihan frowned and walked towards the ancestral hall.

The Qi family was an aristocratic family that could be traced back to hundreds of years ago. There were hundreds of Spirit tablets in the ancestral hall, and the various ornaments inside were all priceless antiques that had been blessed by eminent monks.

Especially the incense burner, which was taken back from a temple by their ancestor.

Third Madam, who was following behind Qi Yihan, was so frightened that she started crying. "Does the loss of the incense burner mean that something bad is about to happen… When I think of Father in the hospital, I get worried and scared. If he really leaves just like that, will our Qi family disappear like this incense burner?"

"Third Madam, what nonsense are you spouting!"

First Madam and Second Madam's hearts skipped a beat when they heard that. At the point where people were already anxious over the loss of the incense burner, Third Madam said something that further worsened their anxiety.

Everyone was panicking except for Qi Yihan.

He looked around the ancestral hall and said in a low voice, "I'll get someone to bring an incense burner back immediately. I'll also invite Master Huiqing from Qingyuan Temple over to recite the scriptures. Father is doing very well now. If anyone dares to spout nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."

Then, he walked out.

They hurried after him.

Outside, Qi Yihan took out his phone and dialed a number. When the other party picked up, he said, "Search the entire mansion. If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately."

When he hung up, First Master quickly walked up to his side and warned him with a fierce face, "You can't tell father about this."

Qi Yihan looked ahead. "I know."

First Master was not happy with his attitude. He snorted and rebuked him directly. "You were the one who picked all the guards in the Qi Mansion. Aren't those guards you sent very capable? Why can't they even guard an incense burner?"

Qi Yihan finally turned to look at him with a piercing gaze.

First Master was even more displeased. He glared at him. "Did I say something wrong? If you don't have the ability, then let me handle it. Otherwise, when the word goes out that our family loses the incense burner, we will become the laughing stock of the entire upper class."

Qi Yihan replied casually, "If you want to take over my place, you have to make up for that one billion first."

"Nearly a billion!" The moment First Master heard that he shouted, stomping his feet, and he wanted nothing more than pouncing on Qi Yihan and biting him to death.

"What difference does it make?" Qi Yihan's expression turned even colder. "Do you think there is no due date? You have only a month. If you can't make up for it, then you'll have to use your shares."

"Don't you dare!" This time, First Master finally lost control and threw a punch at him.

As Second Madam and Third Madam screamed in fear, Qi Yihan caught his fist with one hand, turned it around, and exerted force. With the sound of bones dislocating, Uncle Qi's face contorted in pain as he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ouch…"
