Chapter 91: Tang Li Is Famous Again in the Upper-Class Circle
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The old man was lying in a special ward. His body was filled with tubes and there were several instruments beside him. When the three masters saw this scene, they thought their father was about to die so they instantly started crying loudly.
First Master asked Qi Yihan with trembling lips, "Fourth brother, tell me honestly. How much time does father have?"
Looking at the scene inside, Second Master and Third Master were in great pain both physically and mentally.
Only then did they realize that they did not wanna lose their father just like that.
The more they thought about it, the more sad they became. The three of them started crying and blaming Qi Yihan.
"Aren't you very capable? Why has father become like this now?"
"And Tang Li, didn't she promise that father's illness could be cured?"
"It's all because you stopped us from seeing father that we didn't have a chance to take care of father and fulfill our responsibility as a son. Now are you happy to see us living the rest of our life in guilt?"
…
Qi Yihan looked at the three of them coldly as if he was looking at an idiot. He was not in the mood to tell them what actually was going on in the ward.
Tang Li, who came out of the conference room a while ago with the three doctors, looked at the four men standing there. After hearing the accusations the three masters threw at Qi Yihan, she walked over, saying, "Why are you guys crying here? Father is fine now."
The four of them looked at Tang Li at the same time.
They looked at Tang Li, who was wearing a doctor's gown, in wide-eyed amazement.
One of them asked, "Tang Li, why are you wearing a doctor's gown?"
"Weren't you told that you aren't supposed to enter this room? Why are you wearing the same clothes as the other doctors?"
The corners of Tang Li's lips curled up as she said, "I'm also one of the doctors who treat father. Of course I have to go in."
After saying that, she walked toward the operating door.
The three masters were in disbelief at first and then became furious. They felt that Tang Li did not take their father's life seriously and that she was probably the reason why their father suddenly became like this.
"Tang Li, stop. You're not allowed to go in."
First Master shouted at Tang Li and then looked at Qi Yihan. His eyes were red as he shouted at him, "Fourth brother, are you blind? How can you just watch Tang Li mess around? She is killing our father!"
Second Master was so furious that his veins started to pop out. "That's right. I don't believe Tang Li knows anything about medicine? She is just messing around with our father's life? I bet she is the cause of father lying there like that."
Third Master said fiercely, "Fourth brother, what exactly is going on? If you don't give us a reasonable explanation today, we won't let you off."
The three of them were so excited that they could not even care about the pain on their bodies. They walked toward Tang Li at the same time, wanting to pull her back and not let her in.
Qi Yihan stood between them as they walked towards Tang Li and said, "Father is in the midst of surgery. All of you, be quiet. Otherwise, leave the hospital."
"On what basis?" First Master shouted at him. "We're also Father's sons. He's already in this state, so what right do you have to ask us to leave? I think you just want Father to die. Qi Yihan, don't make me use my right as your brother and the eldest son of the family."
He raised his fist and threw it at Qi Yihan's face.
Qi Yihan didn't move at all. When the fist was very close to his face, he caught it with his bare hands. His eyes were filled with strong hostility as he twisted his fist.
"Ah… Qi Yihan, let go of me!"
The sound of bones dislocating from being twisted frightened Second Master and Third Master. The two people who were about to help First Master froze on the spot.
Only then did Qi Yihan let go of First Master and said in a low voice, "I've said it before. I'll do my best to cure our father. If you cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude."
"What do you mean by causing trouble?" While rubbing his fist, First Master glared at Qi Yihan, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Qi Yihan snorted and said to Tang Li, "Don't worry. Go in."
Tang Li nodded at him and walked toward the door.
The three masters were anxious and wanted to stop her, but Qi Yihan said, "Let's talk."
With that, he walked to the side.
At that moment, Tang Li was already in the special ward. The three of them looked at each other before following Qi Yihan.
When Tang Li and the three doctors came out after checking the old man's medical analysis today, Qi Yihan was the only one waiting outside. She asked, "Where are they?"
"They went back."
The two of them walked out together. Qi Yihan said, "They'll take turns coming over from now on."
Tang Li nodded. She knew that although Qi Yihan was ruthless most of the time, he still couldn't really bring himself to stop his brothers from visiting their father.
"I'll stay in the hospital and be with Father just to prevent them from causing you trouble."
"I'm not afraid of them." Tang Li mumbled but did not say anything else.
…
On the other hand, after the three masters returned from the hospital, they didn't return to their own courtyards. Instead, they went straight to First Master's study.
The three of them stayed in the study and chatted for a long time before coming out.
The next day, news leaked out that Fourth Master of the Qi family put his father's life at danger by letting Tang Li treat him.
In an instant, Tang Li became famous in the upper-class circle again.
Everyone was talking and criticizing her.
"Isn't Tang Li a foreign language student? Is she planning to use languages to treat her father-in-law?"
"I think she's either crazy or Fourth Master is crazy. Without his permission, Tang Li wouldn't dare to treat the old man."
"I can't believe such a rigorous person as Fourth Master would make such a stupid mistake. I bet Tang Li used some tricks to make him believe that she can cure illnesses."
"That must be it. I heard something about Tang Li before. It's said that she has been acting weirdly recently and she even claimed that she can read fortunes for people."
"No way. She must be suffering from some kind of brain damage. Some time ago, she dumped her gigolo and now she is treating her father-in-law. Is her next target Fourth Master?"
"Pfft… She will die even more miserably if she does that."
"That's hard to say, haven't you heard of a witch doctor in the Southern Border who can bring dead people back to life?"
"I heard even if dead people are brought back to life, they are basically a container without internal organs. It's like they are soulless puppets that will do whatever the witcher tells them to do."
"Wow… That sounds scary. Is that what Tang Li is planning to do? To turn his father-in-law into a puppet?"
"And Fourth Master as well. I guess she is ultimately aiming at the inheritance. If she can control her father-in-law, the inheritance will all be hers."
"Will the other three masters of the Qi family allow her to do that?"
"That's why I think the Qi family is in for a good show."
All kinds of ridiculous speculations that were going on made the members of the Qi family anxious.. They came together and demanded to see the old man.
Chapter 92: A Face Certificate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Qi family elders wanted to see the old man together. Even if Qi Yihan was the head of the Qi family, he couldn't stop them.
However, before these people arrived, Qi Yihan told Tang Li about it.
"These are all uncles of mine. Recently, there have been many rumors about Father's illness. They're also worried that Father will really be gone soon, so they came to visit him."
Tang Li nodded in understanding and asked, "Should I let them in to see father?"
"Yes, but don't let them know about Father's condition."
Tang Li thought for a moment before saying, "I can wake father up."
Anyway, he already knew what she was capable of, so it was fine if she woke his father up early.
Qi Yihan frowned. "No, it's not a good time to wake up Father."
"Why?"
"Some people are taking the opportunity to deal with the Qi family. I haven't found all these people yet. If father wakes up now, he'll be in greater danger. And I believe someone in the family wants Father to die."
Tang Li understood what he meant and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
Qi Yihan leaned closer to her and whispered something into her ear.
Qi Yihan actually didn't plan to do much. He just got someone to send a message to his three brothers, saying that someone wanted to use the news of their father's illness to cause chaos inside the Qi Corporation. Many people were waiting for their father to die so that they could split up. Furthermore, there were also people in the family who wanted to get a bigger piece of the inheritance when he died.
What Tang Li needed to do was to make them unable to tell if the old man's condition was serious or not.
When Tang Li heard that, she nodded. "That's a good idea."
Qi Yihan smiled. "Yes."
He said, "Get ready. I'll bring them over this afternoon."
"Alright."
…
The news that Qi Yihan had agreed to the elders' request quickly spread, and the few masters were the first to arrive.
They were the ones who spread the news earlier to make the elders in the family suspect Tang Li and stop her from treating their father.
They didn't expect things to go out of control, and they didn't know that so many people were lusting over the Qi Cooperation.
The Qi Cooperation belonged to the Qi family. Internal strife was fine, but if outsiders wanted to meddle, they would deal with them in unison.
Now, they didn't really want those people to visit their father.
First Master accused Qi Yihan, "Father is already in such a state, and you're still letting the elders visit him. What if they go back and spread false news about our father?"
Even though they hated Tang Li and Qi Yihan, they knew that if the elders were involved, things would be more complicated.
"Fourth brother, didn't you see that recently, Qi Corp's shares have been fluctuating greatly because of Father?"
This was what the three of them were most concerned about.
Tang Li stood beside Qi Yihan. Seeing that Qi Yihan wouldn't bother to talk to the three of them, she sneered, "If you can stop those uncles from visiting, then stop them. What is the point of complaining about it to us?"
Being lectured by Tang Li again, they were infuriated instantly.
Just when First Master was about to lose his temper, Tang Li crossed her arms and reminded him coldly, "First Master, think carefully before you speak. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what might happen to you."
The memory of what happened last time was still fresh in their minds. Hearing that, First Master froze.
In the end, they decided not to challenge Tang Li.
First Master's face tensed up, and he said, looking like he was the boss, "Since all the uncles are coming to visit Father this afternoon, it must be us brothers who go to receive them. Also, I hope everyone can refrain from telling them about our father's condition just in case they spread bad news when they go back."
At this moment, the three brothers were abnormally united in an effort to deal with the group of uncles.
…
Since it was at the hospital, Qi Yihan only agreed to let his uncles come over. At two pm, several cars were parked outside.
The Qi family was a large family. Including the old man, there were seven or eight seniors from his generation. They were either his siblings or cousins.
"Uncles, welcome. Doctors are now giving Father a checkup. Take a seat first. When Father's checkup is done, we'll bring you over to see him."
At that moment, First Master put on the airs of being the eldest son and invited the few old men to the living room of the villa where Tang Li and the others were staying.
After they went in and sat down, the old men sized up the four brothers and first asked them how their father was doing and the rumors outside.
First Master, Second Master, and Third Master answered flawlessly.
Tang Li stood next to Qi Yihan, They both chose to blend in the background, trying to be invisible.
After chatting with the three brothers for a while, the uncles turned their attention to them.
The oldest-looking old man asked with a straight face, "I heard that Yihan's wife is treating Third Brother's illness. When did Yihan's wife learn medicine? Did she get a doctor's certificate?"
Upon hearing this, the three masters sneered in their hearts. This was what they had been waiting for.
Before Tang Li could speak, Qi Yihan calmly replied, "She has been learning medicine from her father since she was young. She studied traditional Chinese medicine and obtained a Traditional Chinese Medicine certificate a long time ago."
Tang Li and the three masters were stunned.
Even Tang Li had no clue since when she had a certificate in Medicine.
After saying that, Qi Yihan patted Tang Li on the shoulder and said, "Take out your medical certificate and show it to your uncles."
Tang Li looked into his eyes that shone with confidence as if he had everything under control. She immediately understood what was going on and quickly walked upstairs.
As expected, when she entered the bedroom, she saw the doctor's certificate placed in a conspicuous place.
She walked over and took the certificate. When she flipped it open, she saw that it was a medical practitioner license that was issued six years ago.
She recalled what the Host did six years ago when she was only 17 years old. At that time, her grandfather was still alive and the Host was still a carefree young girl.
After plunging in thought for a while, Tang Li went down with the certificate.
When Qi Yihan passed Tang Li's certificate to the uncles, the elders put on their glasses and scrutinized it.
The three masters standing at the side widened their eyes in shock.
"Tang Li, did you really learn medicine before?"
Tang Li glanced at the three of them. Instead of answering, she asked, "Why? Do I have to tell you everything I did?"
Qi Yihan wasn't the only one who had looked into Tang Li's past. The three masters had also looked into her, but they didn't find anything about her having ever studied medicine.
The three of them turned to Qi Yihan and instantly knew what was going on. It must be their fourth brother who made her a fake certificate.
The three of them really wanted to expose her, but they knew that they couldn't now.
At that moment, the few old men had already finished looking at the doctor's certificate.. One of the old men looked sharply at Tang Li and said, "Since you've studied medicine and are taking part in the treatment for your father-in-law with a few doctors, tell us about his current situation."
Chapter 93: The Old Man Is Not Gonna Die This Month
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
These people obviously still did not believe in Tang Li. Even if she took out her medical certificate, they did not plan to let her off easily.
However, Tang Li disappointed them.
"Father's condition is very stable now. The three doctors and I are looking for the best treatment for him, especially recently…"
The moment Tang Li spoke, medical terms were thrown out one after another. The group of people present did not understand at all. When someone interrupted her and asked her to say something that they could understand, Tang Li stopped and looked at the person with an expression that said, "If you can't even understand this, what else do you want me to say?"
Qi Yihan added, "Father's illness is very complicated. What Li said is relatively easy to understand. If I call the other three doctors over, you probably won't understand a single word they say."
These words shut those people up.
Tang Li talked for half an hour without stopping.
After saying this, she asked, "Do you understand?"
The entire living room fell into pin-drop silence.
After a while, Tang Li smiled and said, "In short, Father's condition has been stabilized. We're researching ways to treat him now, and we've found some results. As long as we continue our research, Father's illness will definitely be cured."
The old men looked at each other. Then, an old man asked, "Didn't they say that Third Brother's illness is caused by the failure of various internal organs? How can this be cured?"
Another person immediately added, "I heard that one of you found a witch doctor from the southern border to manipulate Third Brother's body with witchcraft. As a matter of fact, he is just an empty body without organs now."
"Uncle, who did you hear that from?" Qi Yihan narrowed his eyes and said, his aura scary. "I will not allow anyone to use such wicked witchcraft on our father as long as I am alive."
The old man who spoke was stunned by his aura and said unhappily, "It's just a rumor. People also say that it's you and Tang Li who hired a witch doctor…"
"Really? Why should I hire a witch doctor? For the shares?"
Everyone was stunned by Qi Yihan's question. Although everyone thought so, no one dared to say it out loud.
They were all intimidated by Qi Yihan even though he was just about the same age as their grandchildren.
"It seems like uncles forgot how much wealth I've created for the Qi family over the years. The world financial magazine just reported it not long ago. If you guys forgot, go and take a look."
At this point, Qi Yihan's gaze turned sharp. "Uncles, you're all seniors of the family. Don't come and question me because of some rumors. Being old is not your fault, but being stupid is."
Hearing that, the few old men flushed with embarrassment,
If it were any other junior who said this, they would immediately reproach the junior for being impudent. However, because it was Qi Yihan who was known for being ruthless and cruel, they dared not to utter a word afterwards.
After intimidating the uncles, Qi Yihan shut his mouth.
Since they couldn't question Qi Yihan further, they turned their attention to Tang Li.
Tang Li shrugged and said calmly, "Do you think I have the ability to hire a witch doctor to perform witchcraft without Qi Yihan and the other three doctors' noticing?"
After saying that, she looked at the three masters. Just as the three of them felt that something bad was going to come out of her mouth, she said, "I think it's more convincing to suspect that one of the three masters hired a witch doctor, or maybe they hired a witch doctor together."
The three masters frowned and said angrily,
"Tang Li, stop spouting nonsense!"
"Tang Li, are you crazy? How can we possibly do that to harm our father?"
"That's right. Tang Li, if you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame us for being rude to you."
Looking at them, Tang Li was amused. She teased, "Look at you all, I am just making a hypothesis. Why do you get so pissed off whenever I involve you. If you're innocent, you shouldn't be worried about it, right?"
"Tang Li, how dare you!"
"Tang Li, you…"
…
Tang Li's words stirred up a hornet's nest. At this point, they were extremely mad.
Qi Yihan looked at the woman who was deliberately provoking the three masters and smiled imperceptibly.
In the end, before Tang Li drove them crazy, he said, "I thought you were here to see our father. The doctors should have finished his checkup already, but if you want to see him, you can only see him from the outside. He is undergoing treatment now. Other than the doctor, no one is allowed to enter the room."
Being reminded by Qi Yihan, the group of elders remembered what they were here for and calmed themselves.
Then, the brothers brought them to see the old man.
The old man was lying on the bed with a few tubes inserted into his body. The treatment equipment beside him looked tall and intricate.
Two doctors stood by the bed and were discussing something while another one was filling up the health analysis.
At that moment, the three of them stopped. One of the doctors walked towards the door.
Everyone knew this person. He was the chief physician of this hospital as well as the vice president of the Empire Medical Association, Xiang Heping.
After Doctor Xiang walked out, he first glanced at the group of people. Then, he pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and said to Tang Li, "The patient's data is out. His indicator today…"
He spoke in a professional language that no one understood.
When Doctor Xiang finished speaking, one of the old men asked anxiously, "Doctor Xiang, what's the situation with our third brother now? Can you tell us briefly?"
Doctor Xiang nodded. "The patient's condition is very stable now. We are currently researching the best treatment plan for him."
"This… Doctor Xiang, can you say it more simply?"
Doctor Xiang looked at him in confusion. He already tried to put it in the simplest manner.
Tang Li said to the group of old men, "What Uncle means is that the outside world is saying that Father is dying, and they want to know if it's true."
When Doctor Xiang heard this, his expression immediately turned serious. "Who told you that the patient is dying? His condition is very stable now. As long as we find a suitable treatment plan, we can treat him at any time."
The group of people automatically interpreted it as they had temporarily controlled his illness, but they had not found a suitable treatment plan.
In short, he was not gonna die this month. However, there was still a possibility that he might die after this month.
Hence, they were disappointed and soon left.
After they left, the masters asked Tang Li eagerly, "Tang Li, where did you get your medical certificate?"
Chapter 94: Qi Yihan and His Three Brothers Come to Pick Tang Li Up
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li did not bother answering them. She turned around and went to the ward.
The three masters were a little unhappy with her attitude, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Qi Yihan said coldly, "Since Uncle and the rest have left, there's no need for all of you to stay in the hospital."
It was obvious that he was asking them to leave, making them even more displeased.
"Why should we leave? How did Tang Li get her medical certificate? You can fool the uncles, but you can't fool us. Fourth brother, how can we be at ease if you let someone without a medical certificate treat our father?"
"That's right. Since you're staying here, why can't we stay here? Are we not his sons?"
Facing outsiders, they could work together to deal with them, but the three of them did not believe in Tang Li at all. Ever since Tang Li said that they would be unlucky that day, the three of them felt that Tang Li might have learned something evil or already cooperated with someone evil.
That was why they wanted to keep an eye on Tang Li. If she dared to do anything to their father, they would definitely not let her off.
Qi Yihan looked at the three of them and pondered.
During this period of time, there would definitely be people who wanted to deal with their father in the hospital. It was not a bad idea to have a few more people around.
He agreed. "Alright."
The fact that Qi Yihan agreed so quickly made the three of them think that he was up to no good.
However, Qi Yihan didn't give them a chance to suspect anything. He added, "You guys can't stay in Father's villa. He needs peace and quiet. As for the villa that Tang Li and I are staying in… If you guys don't mind, you can stay there."
The three of them were speechless and embarrassed.
First Master cleared his throat and said, "You don't have to worry about where we stay. We can figure it out ourselves."
With that, the three of them went to book a villa.
As soon as the three masters left, Qi Yihan's phone rang.
He took out his phone and answered the call. The other party said, "Young Master Lingxuan went missing on the way."
Qi Yihan's expression turned cold. "Where did he go missing?"
At this moment, Qi Lingxuan was on his way back hiding in the truck that carried the raw stones.
"In Pan Mountain."
Pan Mountain was at the border between Province Q and Province S. Surrounded by mountains, the terrain there was quite steep and dangerous. To cross the border, the car had to either drive through the tunnel or across the mountains. On rainy days, the mountains would be covered in a thick layer of mist, making it hard to see what was ahead.
It was really easy for Qi Lingxuan to disappear there without being noticed by his people.
Qi Yihan thought for a moment before saying, "Watch the raw stone and send someone to look for him."
"Yes."
After hanging up, Qi Yihan went to the study upstairs.
…
The day passed quickly.
The moment Tang Li walked out of the laboratory, she saw four men from the Qi family standing there at the same time.
Doctor Xiang and Mr. Yun, who were walking beside Tang Li, looked at each other.
Mr. Yun asked curiously, "Little Tang, are they here to pick you up?"
Tang Li nodded calmly. "Probably."
While two of them were talking, Qi Yihan walked over.
Tang Li looked at him. "Why are you here?"
Qi Yihan, "To pick you up."
Then, he nodded at Mr. Yun and Doctor Xiang. "Excuse us."
"Sure thing."
Tang Li and Qi Yihan walked towards their three brothers.
The weather was neither cold nor hot. Qi Yihan was only wearing suit pants and a shirt. His straight legs were wrapped in the suit pants, making him look especially tall.
Tang Li was not wearing high heels today and was just a little below his chin.
As the two of them walked side by side, there was actually an indescribable sense of harmony.
When the two of them walked up to the three masters, Tang Li deliberately said happily, "Brothers, I didn't know I was so important to you that you even came to pick me up."
The three of them snorted. "If not for the sake of watching you, we wouldn't waste our precious time waiting for you here."
The temperature at night was quite chilly. Qi Yihan was young, so naturally, he wasn't afraid of the chilliness. However, the three brothers were all shuddering in the chilly night. To them, the night seemed colder than it was broadcasted to be under Qi Yihan's cold gaze.
First Master said with a straight face, "We can't enter the laboratory, but we want to know what the experiment is about."
"Do you really want to hear it?"
"Of course, we do."
"I'm afraid you won't understand what I'm about to say."
"That is not for you to worry!"
"Alright."
Tang Li started to tell them about their experiment today.
The three of them felt dizzy when they heard the profound medical terms. They even had to pretend to be listening attentively, which almost made Tang Li laugh.
When Tang Li finished speaking, they were near her villa. Tang Li asked, "That's about it. Brothers, would you like to come over to our place for a cup of tea?"
The three of them glared at her angrily.
"No need."
Then, he threatened, "You'd hope that we can't find out anything bad about you. Otherwise…"
"Otherwise what?" Tang Li stared at the faces of the three of them for a few seconds before suggesting kindly, "I think you'd better worry about yourself. From your appearances, I can tell that you guys will suffer tonight. Let me give you a piece of advice, don't sleep too deeply."
The three of them were so angry that they wanted to give her two slaps.
"Tang Li, shut up if you don't have anything nice to say."
"If something really happens to us tonight. We'll come to find you tomorrow and get even with you."
"What has this got to do with me?" Tang Li snorted and turned around to walk into the villa. As she walked, she said, "I'm not the one that brings you bad luck. If I were you, I would go back and prepare for the evening."
With that, she went in.
The three of them were infuriated to the point that they lost their breath.
First Master glared at Qi Yihan. "Fourth Brother, aren't you gonna teach her how to properly talk to a senior?"
Qi Yihan glanced at him and turned to walk in as well, looking like he couldn't be bothered to talk to him.
First Master was so angry that he was panting.
When Qi Yihan arrived upstairs, Tang Li had already gone to the bathroom to wash up.
Tang Li came out after showering and wiped her hair. When she saw Qi Yihan standing there, she stopped and asked instinctively, "Aren't you working overtime tonight?"
Ever since that morning, Qi Yihan had been working overtime until late every night for the past few days. He then slept in the study, which made Tang Li feel relieved.
Qi Yihan looked at the woman in front of him, who looked especially charming because she had just finished showering. His Adam's apple moved slightly, and his gaze was deep. "I'm just here to remind you don't sleep too deeply tonight."
If not for the fact that he was too busy these few days and was worried that his sleep might be disrupted by her, he would not have slept in the study.
Tang Li had just told her three brothers this, and when she heard Qi Yihan tell her this, she couldn't help but smile. "I know, but I think you won't let those people into our house, right?"
"Yeah."
Chapter 95: They Look Really Miserable
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qi Yihan left after saying that.
Tang Li walked to the balcony and looked in one direction for a while. Then, she cast a spell with her finger in the air. After the faint golden light flashed and quickly merged with the street lamps in the villa, she turned around and returned to the bedroom to sleep.
2 am.
All was quiet. Suddenly, a faintly discernible flute sound was heard. The sound of the flute was mellow and carried a sadness that made people's hearts tighten.
Even so, the bodyguards who were patrolling at night and the doctors and nurses who were on night duty did not seem to hear them. They were still busy with their own things.
First Master, who had been turning about on the bed, suddenly got up from the bed and quickly put on his clothes before walking out.
Just as he opened the bedroom door, he saw Second Brother and Third Brother walk out at the same time. He quickly asked, "Did you hear anything?"
"I did. Is someone playing the flute?"
After Second Master answered, he said with a twisted expression, "I keep feeling that there is something wrong with this flute. It sounds especially scary."
He would definitely not admit that it was because of Tang Li's words that made him especially sensitive tonight.
Not only him, First Master and Third Master were obviously the same.
Third Master said, "Better be careful, especially at a time like this when there are definitely people who want to deal with Father. Why don't we go straight to Father's villa?"
Qi Yihan sent a large number of elite bodyguards to guard their father's villa. He felt that it was safer there than in this villa.
"I think so. If someone dares to sneak in and harm Father, we can protect him."
The three of them found an excuse and walked out together.
However, just as they walked into the courtyard of the villa, the flute sound was a little closer to them.
They also brought bodyguards along with them.
As soon as the three of them walked out, the bodyguards surrounded them. Third Master was still worried and said to them, "Everyone, be vigilant and pay attention to where the sound of the flute comes from."
The bodyguards around them immediately raised their guard and looked around.
The three masters walked out at the same time.
After they walked out of the villa, the sound of the flute got closer and faster. On this quiet night, it sounded especially creepy and made people's hair stand on end.
At this moment, he suddenly said to a bodyguard in the west, "There's a figure flashing over."
The three masters' expressions changed. First Master said, "Go after the figure immediately."
Second Master disagreed. "It might be a trap to separate us. Don't chase after the figure. Let's go to Father's place first. Perhaps Fourth Brother is there now."
First Master agreed and said to the bodyguards, "Escort us."
The group of people quickly walked over.
However, as soon as they walked out of the courtyard, two rustling sounds were heard in the air. Then, two bodyguards fell to the ground.
The three masters were shocked and quickly got the bodyguards to protect them. At the same time, they got one of the bodyguards to check on the two people.
"They were shot with anesthetic."
"What should we do? Do they have an anesthetic gun?" Second Master took out his gun at this moment. "F*ck, they dare to ambush us. Let's see whose gun is faster."
After saying that, he looked around sharply.
However, at this moment, the surroundings returned to silence. Even the sound of the flute had disappeared.
This made him feel even more uneasy.
As expected, in less than a minute, there were countless rustling sounds coming from all directions.
"Dodge!"
Everyone dodged in all directions.
Once they split up, they saw some people suddenly show up at the intersections. They all had a gun in their hands and were aiming at them.
Second Master also fired at them.
Amidst the gunshots, the flute sound rang again.
Soon, the three masters realized that something was wrong.
"How come the gunshots didn't startle Fourth Brother and his bodyguards."
"There must be something wrong with this flute."
At this thought, their expressions changed.
At this moment, they saw the flute player appear in the corner on the left.
There were no street lamps there, and there was a villa fence beside it. The shadow happened to envelop the person playing the flute, so his face could not be seen at all.
The three masters stared at that person for a while and then called their bodyguards to catch him.
Only then did they realize that the bodyguards beside them were all unconscious on the ground.
Their hearts tightened.
"What should we do? This person's flute music must have a hypnotic effect."
"Wait, but why aren't we hypnotized?"
When the three of them were at a loss, the person playing the flute walked towards them.
The three of them subconsciously retreated. First Master got panicky and shouted hysterically, "Who are you? If you come a step closer, we'll shout and wake up everyone in the hospital."
That person then walked out of the shadows, revealing a face covered in terrifying tattoos. At the sight of his face, their hearts palpitate.
"Come with me, the three of you." He said without opening his mouth. His voice seemed to be coming from a recording. It was accompanied by static sound, making it especially scary.
The three of them were so scared that their legs turned weak. If there were still bodyguards around, they definitely wouldn't be afraid. However, the fact that the bodyguards were all on the ground unconscious proved that he must be very powerful.
"What do you want to do to us?" First Master asked with a straight face, trying his best to stay calm.
"If I tell you to come, come. Do you want me to make you come?"
After saying that, he lost his patience. He took out a whip that was shining with a dim light and dealt a blow to his feet.
Second Master suddenly took out the gun that he had been hiding behind his back and shot at the man.
Just when the bullet was about to hit the man, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
In the next second, he appeared behind them and whipped each of them.
"Ouch…"
"Ah…"
The three of them screamed as they got down on their knees. Just when they felt that they were gonna be dead, a reassuring and annoying voice was heard, saying, "Hubby, should we go over to help them? They look quite miserable."
These words made the three people, who were grimacing in pain on the ground, burn with anger for some reason.
So they had been watching the show here all along.
Qi Yihan said in an extremely cold voice, "Capture them all."
When he spoke, the person with the tattooed face said, "Just perfect. I was about to look for you."
Then he was gone.
Meanwhile, Tang Li took out something from her pocket and threw it into the air.
In the next second, the person who disappeared popped out from nowhere two meters away. Then, he widened his eyes in disbelief and fell straight down.
The three masters did not know what happened. They looked at the person lying on the ground and then at Tang Li and Qi Yihan.
Tang Li walked up to the person and touched his clothes. She turned to Qi Yihan and said, "He is indeed wearing an Invisibility Cloak. That is why he can disappear all of a sudden."
The three masters lying there were dumbfounded.
Chapter 96: The Old Lady Who Adopted Young Master Lingxuan Is Dead
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The three masters were yet to recover from their old wounds, and now they were wounded again.
They looked at Tang Li as if she was the god of plague. Especially when Tang Li was casually telling Qi Yihan what the person who killed them wore. They now firmly believed that Tang Li was no longer the person they used to know and she was very mysterious.
After saying that, Tang Li stood up. Looking at the three who seemed to have escaped from death just now, she clicked her tongue and said, gloatingly, "What did I tell you? I told you you'd suffer tonight, but you didn't believe me. Remember to believe me next time."
As the three of them tensed up subconsciously, they clicked their tongues and said gloatingly, "Three brothers, I told you that you would be unlucky tonight, but you didn't believe me. Remember to believe me next time."
The three masters glared at her, gritting, with their bulging eyes.
Qi Yihan looked at the three of them and said to the bodyguards beside him, "Send them back. The other bodyguards…"
At this point, he looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li walked to one of the bodyguards lying on the ground and said, "They're poisoned. I'll go make an antidote later. Otherwise, when the sun rises, they'll die."
The three masters were shocked that the poison was actually lethal.
Soon, the bodyguards that Qi Yihan brought carried the three masters and the poisoned bodyguards back.
The people who came to attack them were thrown into confinement.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan went to the pharmaceutical lab.
Someone was already waiting by the door of the pharmaceutical lab. It was Doctor Xiang, who had been woken up.
Xiang Heping was not wearing a doctor's uniform at night. He was wearing casual clothes and glasses, looking very gentlemanly. He walked over and said to the two of them, "I've already opened the door. Miss Tang, if you need my help, just tell me."
"It's alright. I'm sorry to have woken you up in the middle of the night. We can handle it."
"I'm fine." Xiang Heping pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and said, "I also want to see what medicine Miss Tang will prepare to detoxify those people later."
Since Doctor Xiang said so, Tang Li did not insist.
The three of them walked in together.
The pharmaceutical lab was very large. There were places to stir-fry herbs, places to boil herbs, and a huge storeroom where various herbs were stored.
The three of them went to the storeroom where the herbs were stored. Tang Li went to get the prescription first and said to Doctor Xiang, "Help me find these herbs first."
"Okay." Doctor Xiang went to look for the herbs. As he searched, he asked Tang Li, "How does Miss Tang know what poison they are poisoned with? Is there any evidence?"
"Yes, according to the book…"
Tang Li's deep medical knowledge surprised Qi Yihan and Doctor Xiang.
While Tang Li was boiling the medicine, Doctor Xiang, who was standing at the side, could not help but say to Qi Yihan with a hint of admiration, "Among the people I've interacted with in the medical field, Miss Tang's knowledge is the most comprehensive. Even elite doctors don't know half of what she does. I really don't know where Miss Tang learned all this knowledge and how she learned it."
Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li, who was completely engrossed in making the antidote, and was curious too.
Tang Li boiled the medicine for a few hours. When it was already bright outside, she asked Qi Yihan to get someone to send the medicine to the bodyguards and said, "After they drink it, tell them don't go to the place where there is sun."
Qi Yihan nodded and passed down her instructions.
After they finished it, the three of them walked out of the pharmaceutical lab.
Tang Li yawned. Qi Yihan turned to look at her and said, "If you're tired, go and sleep for a few hours."
Tang Li nodded and said to Doctor Xiang, "I'll go to the ward later today."
"Alright," Doctor Xiang said. "I'll head straight to the ward after having my breakfast."
With that, he left.
Tang Li and Qi Yihan returned to the villa.
Tang Li went to sleep after returning. When she woke up, it was already noon.
She took out her phone and looked at the time. It was half past 12.
There were actually a few missed calls and messages.
The calls were from her two uncles, and the messages were from her cousin sister.
Tang Li called her first uncle.
First Uncle called to ask about her father-in-law's condition. He obviously heard a lot of rumors recently.
When she was about to hang up, First Uncle suddenly asked Tang Li, "Li, did your Second Uncle tell you last time that your father brought something back for you?"
Tang Li had already forgotten about that. "Yes."
First Uncle asked, "When do you plan to come back and get it?"
Tang Li said to him, "I don't have time to go pick it up. Just send it to me."
First Uncle thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll get Zitong to send it to you. Do you want it to be sent to your house or the hospital?"
"To my house."
"Alright then."
After saying that, they hung up.
Tang Li first called Butler Yang to tell him about this, then she looked at the message.
Su Ziqing, "Sis, people have been saying terrible things about you out there. What is happening?"
Su Ziqing, "Sis, the Qi family is obviously at a critical juncture. Take care of yourself."
Su Ziqing, "Cousin, you said you will let me see Fourth Master. Did you ask him what he thinks?"
At this point, Tang Li, who was still feeling touched by the first two messages, immediately turned serious. She put away her phone and planned to reply to her messages when she came back at night.
After washing up, she walked out of the bedroom. When she reached the stairs, she saw Qi Yihan standing by the French windows in the living room.
"Master, the old lady who adopted and raised Master Lingxuan is dead."
"Who killed her?"
"Someone First Madam sent."
A powerful aura emanated from Qi Yihan. After a while, he said, "Send someone to look for him over there. Qi Lingxuan should have returned already. Tell him who killed her."
With that, he hung up the phone and turned around. His cold and unapproachable aura made people not dare to look at him directly.
However, in the next moment, he put away most of the coldness and the sharpness in his eyes when he raised his head to look at Tang Li, who was standing on the stairs.
Tang Li went downstairs and asked as she walked, "Did anything happen to Qi Lingxuan?"
Qi Lingxuan was the chosen one of this book, so nothing bad would happen to him. Actually, Tang Li was not worried. She was just finding a topic to talk about with him.
Qi Yihan did not think so. He felt that Tang Li was very concerned about Qi Lingxuan. In the past, she would never mention any man in front of him.
Seeing that Qi Yihan had turned cold again, Tang Li walked up to him and looked into his eyes. "Look at you. You're frowning again. I told you not to get angry, or else it won't be good for your health."
Qi Yihan suddenly pulled her into his arms and asked with a dangerous tone, "Tang Li, you seem to be very concerned about Qi Lingxuan?"
"Is it because he's younger than me that you take a fancy to him?" He thought to himself but couldn't bring himself to ask her.
Chapter 97: I Will Lock You Up Too
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Tang Li looked at him in a daze. She placed a hand on his shoulder and wanted to push him away.
However, Qi Yihan was hugging her so tightly that she couldn't make him budge at all.
She looked at him in confusion and said, "I just… heard you made a call and asked casually… Besides, why should I care about him? If I should care about anyone, it should be you."
Tang Li found that the cold aura around Qi Yihan suddenly disappeared and he let go of her.
Tang Li looked at him and felt that it was best to make things clear first. She asked, "Why do you think I care about Qi Lingxuan?"
Qi Yihan pursed his lips and looked at her. After a while, he asked, "Isn't that the case?"
"Definitely not."
Tang Li thought for a moment and planned to tell him in a way that he could accept. "When I saw Qi Lingxuan, I read his fortune. His early life was very bumpy but as he gets older, his life will get better and he will eventually become a powerful person. Also, I read his fortune too. It just so happened that he and a girl I know are fated. That's why I ask you about him."
Qi Yihan looked at her with his deep eyes. "That's it?"
"Yes, that's it? I've told you many times that I won't divorce you and I will spend the rest of my life with you."
Then, she said to him threateningly, "If you dare to mention divorce again, I'll lock you up and punish you until you dare not mention it."
Tang Li was generally a good-tempered person, but there were still times when good-tempered people got angry.
However, after Tang Li said that, she realized the way Qi Yihan looked at her was drastically different.
Two flames seemed to have suddenly risen in his eyes, as if they were going to burn her.
For some reason, Tang Li's heart started racing, and she subconsciously retreated.
However, in the next second, her waist was grabbed and she was thrown into his arms again.
Her body bumped into his chest. Qi Yihan then tilted his head and whispered in her ear in a low and hoarse voice, "Remember what you said just now. If I find out that you're thinking about other men, I'll do the same thing…"
"Er…" Tang Li could not stand the heat that he blew into her ear. She wanted to move her head away, but in the next second, she felt a warmth brush past her ear. An electric current ran through her entire body. Just as she was wailing internally about how this man was tempting her again, she heard his domineering voice. "I'll lock you up too."
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Her heart suddenly started racing so fast that it felt like it was going to pop out of her chest at any moment.
She then turned to look at him.
Only then did she realize that the two of them were very close. So close that if anyone moved, their lips would touch.
The two of them did not speak, but there was a tension in the air.
Qi Yihan swallowed and his gaze landed on her lips.
Tang Li's eyes flickered and she bit her lips in embarrassment.
Their lips were getting closer and closer.
Closer… and closer.
"Fourth brother!"
The sudden voice broke the charming and intimate atmosphere in the living room.
Qi Yihan let go of Tang Li and turned to look at the door coldly.
Tang Li narrowed her eyes and looked out of the door unhappily.
"First Master, First Master…" Soon, First Master limped in, followed by Butler Zhang who was trying to stop him from entering.
The moment he saw Tang Li, he was reminded of this woman's predictive power. Terrified, he looked away and said to Qi Yihan, "I called Lingxuan just now, but I couldn't get through. What's going on?"
"He went missing at Pan Mountain."
"What?"
First Master panicked. "Didn't he leave with the trucks? His leg is injured. How come he's gone missing? Did someone kidnap him?"
At this point, First Master became even more anxious. "Did you send anyone to look for him? And who exactly is the person who kidnapped him? Fourth Brother, aren't you very capable? Why, after so many days, you still haven't found out what happened over."
Hearing the accusations that were thrown at her husband, Tang Li could not stand it anymore. She snorted and said, "Don't shift the blame to Yihan all the time. Are you a baby? Why do you have to bother him whenever something happens?"
"You…" First Master wanted to curse Tang Li, but when he thought about how this woman jinxed him, he sucked it up.
He looked at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan said coldly, "My men found something."
"What?" First Master had a fierce look on his face. "Tell me, who is it that attacked our family this time? Tell me, I will make them shed blood."
"Someone who hates Lingxuan the most."
…
First Master obviously already had someone in mind, and his face showed disbelief.
"How is that possible!" First Master was stunned. He couldn't believe it was his wife who did it because he thought he had talked everything out with her and convinced her.
"Fourth brother, do you have evidence to back up your assumption?"
He wouldn't believe it without evidence.
Qi Yihan said coldly, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Then, he said to Butler Zhang, "Bring some food to Li."
Only then did Tang Li remember that she had not eaten breakfast.
First Master looked at the two of them and stormed out.
It was obvious that he was going to question his wife.
Looking at the departing figure, Tang Li asked Qi Yihan, "Do you think he will fall out with First Madam because of Qi Lingxuan?"
"No," Qi Yihan said firmly. "Lingxuan is just a tool for him to get more shares out of our father. He won't fall out with his wife who can still help him."
Tang Li found that Qi Yihan was very good at reading people's minds. No wonder he was so cold.
After dinner, Tang Li went to the ward.
Qi Yihan did not follow her but went somewhere else.
At noon, the doctors asked Tang Li to go to the medical staff cafeteria for lunch.
While having their lunch, they discussed various illnesses.
Some doctors invited Tang Li to treat the patient with them.
Tang Li suddenly recalled the fake certificate Qi Yihan gave her and shook her head. "No, I don't treat normal patients."
"Why?"
"Because I don't have a medical certificate. I don't want to get involved in a medical dispute."
Everyone was silent for a moment. Then, one of the doctors smiled and said, "Hey! I thought you were going to say something more surprising than that. Doctor Xiang is the Vice-President of the Medical Association. He can easily make one for you."
Another doctor immediately added, "That's right. To get a doctor's certification, you need recommendation letters. When the time comes, we can just get a few people to write recommendation letters for you. Anyway, I don't think it's necessary for you to have a doctor's certificate."
Unexpectedly, everyone was very eager to help her. When the lunch was over, every step of getting a doctor's certificate was taken care of, and all she needed to do now was go back and take an ID Photo.
When they were to go back, Doctor Xiang said to Tang Li, "Although I also think that Miss Tang can easily get a doctor's certificate, if you have time, I think you should sit for the exam just so you won't get into trouble in the future."
Tang Li nodded. "I'll find some time to sit for the exam."
"Alright, I'll get my assistant to send you the procedure and criteria of the exam later. Take a look when we get back. If you think it's okay, we can start right away."
"Alright."
Chapter 98: It's Raining, I Came to Pick You Up
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The day ended quickly. When Tang Li walked out of the laboratory, she saw Qi Yihan standing under the streetlamp.
At this moment, it was drizzling. He was holding a black umbrella and wearing a black suit. Even if he was alone, he stood straight like a tree, not slouching at all. He looked cold and his face gave people an impression that he didn't care about anything in this world.
At that moment, he walked over with the umbrella. Tang Li noticed that the aura around him had changed. It was no longer as cold as before. There was even a hint of gentleness on his handsome face.
"Why are you here?" Tang Li was surprised to see him alone tonight, not accompanied by his three brothers.
"It's raining. I came to pick you up." Qi Yihan held the umbrella over her head.
Tang Li looked at the drizzle outside and could not help but smile.
She didn't know why she felt a little happy for some reason,
At a rather slow pace, the two of them walked back to their villa while Tang Li was reporting to him the condition of the old man.
Butler Zhang saw the two of them from afar and could not help but feel touched.
Master and Madam looked so compatible.
When the two of them got closer, Butler Zhang told Tang Li, "Madam, Butler Yang said that Miss Zitong sent your things to your house this morning. He put them in your room."
"Alright." Tang Li nodded and went upstairs with Qi Yihan.
Upstairs, Qi Yihan was about to walk towards the study when Tang Li stopped him. "Yihan."
Qi Yihan turned to look at her.
For some reason, Tang Li felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.
She pursed her lips and said, "Why don't you… sleep in the bedroom?"
There was only a temporary bed in the study and it definitely wouldn't feel good sleeping on it.
Qi Yihan looked at her calmly, but his eyes were unfathomable.
"I've been… kind of on fire lately. As long as you're near me, I can't control myself. If you can make sure not to come near me, then I'll come."
Tang Li was speechless.
She couldn't make sure of that at all.
"Well then… you can stay in the study."
Qi Yihan's face tensed up and he said calmly, "Alright."
With that, he walked towards the study.
Tang Li looked at his back and mumbled, "I'm kind of on fire too."
In order not to cause a flame, it was indeed a wise choice to sleep in separate beds.
She was worried that he might regret it and say that it was her who deliberately seduced him.
What she didn't know was that after Qi Yihan entered the study, the first thing he did was turn on his computer to look at a thread he had posted anonymously.
The title of the thread was: How do you make the person you like fall in love with you?
The thread was posted the day before yesterday.
There were already many replies below.
He had already read most of the replies and was now looking at the replies at the bottom.
One of them said, "If the woman you like is capable, maybe you leave her to take the lead."
…
Tang Li returned to the bedroom and took out her phone to check the information sent by Doctor Xiang's assistant.
At the same time, she replied to her cousin's message, "Someone deliberately leaked the news. It's been solved."
Tang Li then started reading the information.
The next morning, as soon as Tang Li woke up, she received a call from her Second Aunt.
She was a little surprised. When she picked up the call, Second Aunt asked anxiously, "Li, is Zitong with you?"
Tang Li, "No, I'm in the hospital. She is not here."
Then, she asked, "First Aunt, what happened?"
First Aunt told her, "Zitong hasn't returned since she went out to send you something yesterday morning. I couldn't get through to her on the phone either. The friends who called said that they haven't seen her either. She has never spent the night outside without calling."
The Tang family was strict with the girls' upbringing and usually did not let them spend the night outside.
Tang Li asked, "Did you go look for her?"
"Your First Uncle and First Cousin went out to look for her early in the morning." First Aunt suddenly said to her in a pleading tone, "Li, I feel quite uneasy. She didn't come back last night and her phone was switched off, can she be in danger? Can you get Yihan to help look for her?"
It was obvious that First Aunt called Tang Li to ask Qi Yihan for help.
Tang Li answered. "Alright." She didn't plan to bother Qi Yihan and intended to look for Zitong herself.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Li walked to the balcony to check the weather.
It was gray and looked like it was going to rain again.
She calculated with her finger and thought about Tang Zitong's Four Pillars of Destiny. She took out a piece of talisman from the bag and quickly drew a spell on it. Then, she folded the talisman into a paper crane and threw it out.
The paper crane seemed to have come alive and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from behind.
Tang Li turned around and saw Qi Yihan walking around the bedroom. Lately, he always took a shower downstairs and then came up to get changed into his pajamas without worrying about being seen by her.
"Wow, what a body. Why did I forget to touch it last time." Tang Li couldn't help but show approval.
At this moment, Qi Yihan spotted her and walked out wearing a shirt.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just now, my first aunt called and said that Second Cousin didn't go back for the whole night. She couldn't get through to her on the phone either. I drew a talisman to look for her." Tang Li did not want to conceal anything from him anymore.
Qi Yihan walked up to her and asked, "When can you find her?"
"Probably after breakfast."
After saying that, Tang Li sniffed and suddenly moved closer to him to smell him like a puppy.
Then, she asked curiously, "You smell good. Is it perfume?"
"No, I always drop some essential oil on them after they are washed. I think the smell today is particularly strong… Do you like it?"
"I like it. This fragrance is quite refreshing. Looks like the person who made the essential oil put in a lot of effort."
"Yeah, the Qi family hired a professional essential oil expert. If you like it, I'll get him to bring some of it to you."
"Nope, that's not necessary, I'll just smell it from you."
Seeing that Qi Yihan was silent, Tang Li thought she said something inappropriate and asked, "What's wrong?".
He suddenly raised his hand and tapped her lips. "Tang Li, are you that sweet to everyone?"
"Definitely not!"
Apparently, it wasn't intended to be a question. After saying that, he withdrew his hand and turned to walk towards the bedroom.
Tang Li followed him, wanting to explain.
Qi Yihan spoke first. "I heard you want to take the exam for a doctor's certificate."
"Yes." Tang Li suddenly remembered something and said, "Can I use your computer to print some information out later?"
"Sure."
The two of them went to the study.
Looking at the files, Qi Yihan was a little surprised. "Do you have to remember that much?"
"No, it just so happens that Doctor Xiang and the others can help, so I figured I might get a few more certificates just in case of emergency."
"A few more?"
"That's right. I'll take both traditional and western medicine exams. This way, if anyone questions me, I can just throw my certificate at their face."
After saying that, she smiled at him. "The most important thing is that I can deal with those uncles. Who knows if they will probe into my background in the future."
Qi Yihan didn't expect her to think that way.. He lost in thought for a second before saying, "The doctor's certificate I asked someone to make for you is not fake."
Chapter 99: Sui Yang Road
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
"What?" Tang Li suddenly widened her eyes in shock.
Looking at her shocked face, Qi Yihan couldn't help but chuckle. "The moment you started treating my father, I got someone to fake a doctor's certificate for you just in case something like what happened yesterday happens."
Tang Li looked at him with a complicated expression and sighed. "Now it makes sense that you are so rich because you are meticulous. I don't think there are many people in this world who can compare to you!"
Qi Yihan suddenly looked pleased.
After they finished eating breakfast, Tang Li indeed knew where Tang Zitong was.
"18th Sui Yang Road?"
Qi Yihan knew where it was, so he told her, "Sui Yang Road is a new type of entertainment cluster. There are many scenes and stories that are based on games. Those who go there are all people in their teens or twenties… If you go to play simulated games or LARP, you're not allowed to bring your phone in."
Tang Li felt like she was outdated. She had no clue about the games that Qi Yihan mentioned.
She asked, "Does playing such games take a long time?"
"It depends on the length of the LARP script, but it won't take more than a day."
Tang Li understood and went upstairs to take out her phone to call First Aunt to tell her where Tang Zitong was.
Over an hour later, Qi Yihan received a call from Tang Li's first uncle.
Her first uncle thought that it was Qi Yihan who sent people to look for his daughter, so he asked, "Yihan, are your people sure that Zitong is on 18th Sui Yang Road? I came over to look for her, but she is nowhere to be found."
Qi Yihan glanced at Tang Li, who was in the ward, and walked out with his phone. "Did you look carefully enough?"
"I did. I also asked the staff here but no one saw her."
"Check the ticket records from yesterday."
"What? Oh, I see." First Uncle hung up.
Qi Yihan stood there and considered for a while before making a call. He said to the other party, "Send someone to 18th Sui Yang Road to find out Tang Zitong's whereabouts. If you can find her there, check the entire district."
With that, he hung up and walked into the ward.
The rate at which the active cells in the old man's body grew was faster than Mr. Augustine had expected. Every time he saw this situation, he would be extremely excited.
After reading the record of the growth of the active cells today, he said to Tang Li, "Miss Tang, I think it's about time we publish our paper now."
Tang Li had read Augustine's paper before, so she did not mind.
Augustine left the ward to prepare the publication as soon as he got her permission.
Mr. Yun smiled and said, "I can imagine how famous you and Mr. Augustine will be when the thesis is published."
Tang Li nodded. She happened to see Qi Yihan signaling for her to come out.
She walked out and Qi Yihan said to her, "There's no trace of your cousin in the entire Sui Yang Road. The people I sent over have found that many girls have gone missing over there recently, but they couldn't find anything, nor did the criminal investigation department that intervened a week ago,
"No way. My cousin is right there."
Tang Li said firmly and started to take off her doctor's gown. "I'll go over and take a look."
After taking off her clothes, she walked to the door and told Mr. Yun and Doctor Xiang before walking out with Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan called a car as he walked. When Tang Li saw that he was still following her, she asked him, "Are you going with me?"
"Yeah." He wanted to witness how capable she was.
Tang Li didn't say anything else. After getting in the car, she shifted inside. When Qi Yihan got in too, the car drove off.
Sui Yang Road was especially long, taking up a thousand acres of land. On both sides were different styles of buildings from all around the world. As one entered, one felt as if he had entered a dream.
Of course, there were many people here too. After the car drove in, it had to slow down.
There were young people everywhere, even children.
Tang Li asked, "Is there a LARP script here suitable for kids?"
"Yes, in the anime castle." Qi Yihan raised his chin and gestured for Tang Li to look ahead.
Tang Li looked over and exclaimed, "Castle! This is too realistic."
In particular, there were many large anime figures on the city wall of the castle. There were also many people dressed in anime costumes distributing balloon candy by the door. Though the entrance door was very large, it was crowded with people fighting their way into it.
Tang Li could not help but sigh. "Who came up with this idea? There is actually such a place in the world. Unbelievable! I guess taking money out of kids' pockets is the easiest thing to do."
Qi Yihan tilted his head and looked at her in surprise. His fingers twitched and he said casually, "The Qi Corporation holds 60% of the shares of that castle."
Tang Li was speechless.
The car quickly drove over. Not only was it easy to earn money from children, but there was also a long line outside every gate. When Tang Li's car finally reached the 18th, a while had passed.
On the 18th, this place was also crowded with people. In the front, there was an ancient door on top of which a plaque was attached—Ningguo Mansion.
Tang Li looked at Qi Yihan in surprise. "Is this script based on four classic novels of Chinese literature?"
"Right."
The moment their car stopped, a man in a suit and a man in uniform walked over.
Qi Yihan got out of the car and shook hands with the man in uniform.
Then, he introduced Tang Li to the man. "This is my wife, Tang Li."
"This is Officer Yang."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Qi Yihan looked at the man in a suit.
The man in a suit quickly said respectfully to him, "Fourth Master, I'm Manager Wu from the 18th."
Qi Yihan nodded and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Officer Yang replied, "During this period of time, we received several reports from parents claiming that their children went missing here, but we checked the surveillance cameras and ticket records of every place where the missing girls went and we can't find any of them."
Manager Wu continued, "When Mr. Tang came over to look for his daughter this morning, we checked all the scenes but couldn't find any trace of her."
Tang Li asked, "Did all those people disappear here?"
"We're not sure about that. The reports say the girls are gone missing on this street. No one knows exactly where."
Tang Li nodded and raised her head to look at the building before her.
There was a faint layer of Yin Spirit floating above the building, indicating that there was something unclean inside.
Tang Li thought for a moment before saying to Qi Yihan, "Hubby, I want to go in and give the script a try."
Under Officer Yang and Manager Wu's surprised gazes, Qi Yihan nodded. "I'll go with you."
When he was about to ask Manager Wu to give them two tickets, she said first, "I'll go buy the tickets."
With that, she walked to the ticket booth.
Qi Yihan was surprised.
For some reason, he was delighted to see that his wife was not willing to spend his money.

As soon as she bought the tickets, they went in through the gate.
Tang Li walked over. There were only a few men and women who looked like high school students in the queue.
It was not the weekend today, and the boys and girls were dressed trendy. It was obvious that they had skipped class.
They were discussing enthusiastically which scene to enter.
"I heard that the scene where Jia Yuanchun goes back to visit her parents is very realistic. Other than the realistic buildings, 5D simulation and IA impersonation techniques are also used. I've always wanted to see how luxurious Grandview Garden is," a girl suggested.
"Isn't that scene at night? What's so fun about us trying that scene in the day?"
"I only dared to come here during the day. I read many reviews about this scene. They all said that Jia Yuanchun is dead, so she goes back to visit her parents in the middle of the night. Just thinking about it makes me shudder."
"What's there to be afraid of? This is more exciting. I've always wanted to act as Jia Yuanchun when she goes back to visit her parents."
"I want to act as Lin Daiyu."
"I want to act as Jia Baoyu."
…
Before they could buy the tickets, they had already planned what role they wanted to play.
The boy at the front of the line had already walked to the ticket booth. He craned his neck and asked the ticket seller, "Pretty sis, is there a daytime scene of Jia Yuanchun visiting her parents?"
"Yes." The seller replied as she knocked on the computer. "To get the story going, you need at least fifteen people. If you can find that many people, you can start right away."
"Are there any people who chose this scene as well and are now waiting for more people?"
"There are already seven people."
Hearing that, the boy turned around and told everyone.
"We only have five people, so we're still short of three. Why don't we buy tickets and wait for some people to join us?"
"Alright."
Everyone agreed. Just then, they saw Tang Li standing behind them.
All the boys goggled at her.
The girls were also exclaiming in a low voice, "Wow, she is so beautiful."
"She suddenly reminds me of a passage in Dream of the Red Chamber. 'Suddenly, Xue Baochai comes. Although she isn't much older than me, she has a sound personality and a beautiful face. She is so beautiful that Daiyu can't compare to her in any aspect.' I feel that she comes straight out of Dream of the Red Chamber!"
"Why don't we ask her to join us in this scene?"
Tang Li brought her phone with her when she came out. Because she needed to contact someone and use it to pay.
Just as she was looking for her payment code, she heard someone shout, "Miss, what kind of scene do you want to play?"
Tang Li raised her head to look at the boys and girls who were looking at her and replied, "I'm not sure yet. I'm going in to take a look first."
If the players were not sure about the scene they wanted to play, they could buy a ticket and enter before deciding.
When the boys and girls heard that, their eyes lit up.
"Why don't you come with us? We chose the scene of Jia Yuanchun visiting her parents, and it just so happened that our teacher assigned us homework to write an essay on one of the scenes in Dream of the Red Chamber. Please, we're still short of three people. You can join us."
Seeing how expectant they were, Tang Li thought for a moment and nodded. However, she said, "My husband is with me."
"Ah! sis, you are already married?" A boy was extremely disappointed.
Tang Li smiled. "Of course."
Then she turned to look at Qi Yihan.
She met his gaze and waved at him.
Qi Yihan and the other two walked over.
When the girls saw Qi Yihan, they were so smitten that they covered her mouth and screamed. "Ah… what a handsome man!"
"I'm gonna faint!"
As Qi Yihan threw a cold glance at the girls, they got even more excited.
"Oh my god, he is so cool!"
Tang Li said to Qi Yihan, "They invited us to participate in the scene of Jia Yuanchun visiting her parents. To start the scene, they need three more people, so I agreed to join them. Now, we need one more."
Qi Yihan nodded. "Sure."
Officer Yang, who was standing beside Qi Yihan, said, "If you guys don't mind, I'll join too. I want to give it a try to see why young people are so addicted to it nowadays."
Although he didn't know why Fourth Master and Fourth Madam suddenly said that they wanted to play a scene, his intuition told him that he would definitely gain something by following them.
The students agreed.
Tang Li was about to go over and buy the tickets.
Qi Yihan glanced at Manager Wu.
Manager Wu understood immediately. He walked over and said to the ticket seller through the window, "Three tickets."
When the ticket seller saw that it was the manager, he quickly gave him three tickets.
The manager took the tickets and handed them to Tang Li and the others.
Before Tang Li took the ticket, she said, "I'll give you the money for our tickets."
She had no habit of taking advantage of others.
"No need, no need." Manager Wu stole a look at Qi Yihan and quickly waved his hand. "I'm the manager here. It doesn't cost me anything to get some tickets."
Tang Li put away her phone and nodded. "Thank you."
Manager Wu felt a little clumsy after being thanked.
At this moment, Qi Yihan took the ticket from him and said to Tang Li, "There are many people here. Let's go in first."
A group of people walked in.
After walking through the door, they first entered a hall. On both sides of the hall were endless aisles.
The aisles were filled with entrances, and every entrance was a gate to a particular scene.
"It's so big in here!" The moment the students entered, they exclaimed.
Even Officer Yang couldn't help but say, "No wonder many kids around me want to come here and play. They talk about the plot all the time. It does look good."
Only Qi Yihan looked calm and indifferent.
He swept his gaze across the entire hall and said to the few people who were looking around, "The people with us are waiting over there."
They looked over and saw a few men and women standing beside a sign saying "Jia Yuanchun visiting her parents".
They looked like college students.
They also looked over when Tang Li and the others walked towards them.
When Qi Yihan was in their sight, the students got excited.
"Hello, are you guys also playing in this scene?"
A high school girl immediately replied, "Yes."
The college student was even more excited. Everyone made a brief self-introduction.
Tang Li asked, "Which entrance is Jia Yuanchun visiting her parents?"
A university student immediately replied, "The fourth one."
"Let's go then."
The group of people walked to the fourth entrance. There was an automatic ticketing door. As long as one scanned the ticket or electronic ticket on the entrance, a number card would pop out.
Then, everyone walked in. There was another room where phones and electronics were stored.
At the same time, the script and rules of this scene came from the radio. "Someone wants to frame the Jia Mansion, so they found someone to fake as a Concubine. You have to find the real Concubine before she returns to the palace. Only then will the mission be considered complete. If you can't find her, you will lose."
"The number card in your hand will be the corresponding changing room number later. In the changing room, there are roles and costumes for everyone.. After changing your clothes, you can press the red button in the changing room to enter your place."
