Chapter 495: Chapter 495: Li Xia Wants to Escape

Nan Qiao wielded the knife she brought with her skillfully, as if she was trimming trees instead of conducting an autopsy.

Cut away what’s unnecessary, keep what’s needed, and for what can’t be kept, carve it out and take it away.

Qin Rong was not new to autopsies, yet she still felt like throwing up.

Director Li’s eyes sparkled with surprise and admiration.

"Nan Qiao, your technique is quite proficient. Where did you work before?"

"Director Li, I haven’t worked in a hospital; I just have various certifications."

Qin Rong nearly rolled her eyes in disbelief; medical certifications are not easy to obtain.

Others sacrifice their sleep, and yet she has various certifications?

Qin Rong: "Some people, they talk like getting certified is as easy as eating."

Nan Qiao continued her actions: "Of course, getting certified isn’t easy, but if you work hard, good results aren’t impossible."

After speaking, Nan Qiao grasped the mother poisonous insect that had been hidden inside Jiang Linyu’s body.

Qin Rong and Director Li gasped, "What is that!"

Nan Qiao responded, "Poisonous insect."

Director Li and Qin Rong stood frozen in shock, never imagining such a thing inside Jiang Linyu.

Nan Qiao placed the insect into a jar and continued working with Director Li and Qin Rong.

Nan Qiao came over with the intention of seeing if, after Jiang Linyu’s death, the insect would die as well.

The people above Jiang Linyu were closely watching the case. If Li Yehan sheltered several individuals and the matter was widely reported, it would have adverse effects.

Now, these things could be done openly.

...

Li Yehan waited outside for a long time before Nan Qiao finally came out.

Li Yehan immediately approached, noticing the fatigued look on Nan Qiao’s face, gently saying, "I’ll take you home first."

Nan Qiao uttered an "hmm" in response.

Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Qin Rong.

"Nan Qiao, shouldn’t you return what you’ve taken?"

Director Li: "..."

"Qin Rong, come with me." Director Li spoke sternly.

Qin Rong ignored Director Li, approached Nan Qiao, and said seriously, "We are responsible for the autopsy; shouldn’t you return what you obtained as well?"

Li Yehan stood before Nan Qiao, protecting her, "Do you have the authority to ask my fiancée for anything?"

"Mr. Li, I understand your status and position. But this matter isn’t related to you, right? Even if you want to protect your fiancée, you shouldn’t obstruct our work."

Facing Qin Rong’s righteous declaration, Director Li rubbed his temples angrily.

"Qin Rong, I am responsible for the autopsy. You must follow my orders, and yet you dare to question Mr. Li?"

Director Li tugged Qin Rong away, but Qin Rong with a steady stance and a lot of strength, pushed Director Li away instead.

"Director Li, you can’t fear authority! We must defend our dignity and the order of the world!"

Li Yehan sneered, "You protected the world’s order?"

Nan Qiao laughed as well, "Director Li has the title, yet it seems you are the true authority! Besides, I indeed have the qualification to take the items away."

Qin Rong scoffed, "What qualification?"

"The qualification I provide!"

At this point, an elderly professor arrived, looking coldly at Qin Rong, "Is the qualification I provide sufficient?"

Qin Rong jumped in surprise, "Professor Han, why are you here?"

"Do I need to report to you before I come here?"

"N-No need." Qin Rong stammered.

Professor Han approached Nan Qiao, his demeanor changed abruptly, "Nan Qiao, you’ve finally arrived."

"Professor Han, it’s been a long time."

"Indeed, it has been a long time. The last time I saw you was three years ago. I didn’t expect you’d actually come to Jing City."

Li Yehan’s presence was imposing, "Professor Han, with her emotional swings so significant, is she suited for this work?"

Professor Han quickly explained, "Mr. Li, Qin Rong is here just for an internship. She isn’t performing well and certainly can’t complete her internship period."

Qin Rong was pale with shock, "Professor Han!"

Professor Han ignored Qin Rong and instead turned to speak to Nan Qiao.

"Nan Qiao, do you have time tomorrow? Can you visit my laboratory? Our experiment is stalled, and if you can come and guide us, surely our experiment will be completed ahead of schedule."

"Sure." Nan Qiao agreed.

Professor Han was overjoyed, "Nan Qiao, thank you."

"You’re welcome, Professor Han. I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be off now."

"I would love to treat you to a meal; since you have things to do, go ahead with them. When you have time, I’ll treat you to a meal."

Nan Qiao nodded with a smile, then left with Li Yehan.

Professor Han looked at Qin Rong with a cold attitude, "Did Director Li not inform you? I call the shots in this matter. What I say is what stands! And you, you ended up offending Nan Qiao!"

Qin Rong was somewhat shocked, asking softly, "Professor Han, she’s just an ordinary girl..."

"She’s an ordinary girl, and what are you?" Professor Han questioned.

Qin Rong was rendered speechless by his question.

Professor Han glanced at Director Li, then walked away.

Director Li shook his head, "Qin Rong, your way of doing things isn’t suitable for our department. Go back to where you belong."

Qin Rong was dumbfounded.

"Director Li, what on earth is Nan Qiao’s background!"

"Don’t bother with her background; you should be considering if you can stay here any longer."

With one sentence, Qin Rong was stunned.

...

Mo Shaolin went to see Li Xia again.

This time, Li Xia was willing to talk.

"Brother Shaolin, did you get me the best lawyer? If not, can you at least let me make a phone call?"

Mo Shaolin gently comforted her anxious emotions, "I did hire a lawyer for you. I’ve consulted, and you still need to be a witness."

Li Xia, pondering over this, seemed to have made a decision.

"Brother Shaolin, I can disclose some things if you can ensure I get out."

"Xiaxia, we’ve known each other for years. When have I lied to you? If you don’t believe me, I can bail you out right now."

Li Xia’s eyes brightened, "Can you really do that?"

"You can only be out for one day, but you must return by evening. You’re currently an important witness, you can’t be away for long."

"Alright, that’ll do. Brother Shaolin, I’ll do whatever you say."

Mo Shaolin smiled and took Li Xia out.

Once outside, as Li Xia breathed the fresh air, the sunlight felt starkly bright to her.

"I didn’t expect I’d really get out. Brother Shaolin, can you first take me for a shower and a change of clothes?"

"Sure, there’s a hotel nearby, I’ll take you there."

"Thank you, Brother Shaolin; you’re so good to me."

Mo Shaolin led Li Xia away, and Li Xia’s eyes sparkled with excitement — she was ready to escape!

Mo Shaolin booked a room and told Li Xia, "Xiaxia, go in and shower first, I’ll wait outside."

Mo Shaolin sat in the living room, his back to the bathroom door.

Li Xia displayed a shy expression, softly laughing, "Brother Shaolin, you’ve prepared everything so thoroughly; I knew you still care for me. Wait for me a bit, alright?"

Li Xia walked into the bathroom, her gaze fixed on the window.
