Chapter 87: 087 Kicked the iron plate! Time to kill [1 update]

Fifth floor, the director’s office.

"Miss Ye, I deeply apologize for the offense yesterday. Please don’t take it to heart." The director apologized profusely, "I didn’t expect Mr. Shen to also want to..."

"Don’t mention it," Ye Wanlan was indifferent, "In matters of life and death, no one can remain calm."

The director was at a loss for words. How could Miss Ye remain so calm?

Could there be nothing in this world that could cause her to lose control of her emotions?

"Miss Ye, you really mustn’t let Tingfeng know that I’ve been squatting here for you, or he will definitely beat me up," Shen Que rubbed his hands together, "If you’ve got time now, maybe we could—"

"Knock, knock, knock."

His words were interrupted by a knocking on the door.

Shen Que was visibly displeased, "Who is it? Can’t you see I’m busy here?"

"Is Mr. Shen here?"

"Yes, I am here. What do you want? If it’s nothing, then leave now."

Seeing as Shen Que had no intention of letting them in, Madam Qin was not annoyed.

It was normal for a national medical sage like Shen Que to have his own temper.

"Mr. Shen, the Jiangcheng Qin Family has come to ask for your help treating my youngest son," Madam Qin pleaded with rare urgency, "The fee for the consultation is not a problem, just name your price; as long as it’s within our capabilities, we’ll manage."

Shen Que thought to outright refuse without a second thought.

But Ye Wanlan lifted her hand and silently mouthed, "Agree to it."

Shen Que didn’t understand but followed her directive anyway, "Fine, I’ll come by in a bit."

His simple affirmation brought tears of joy to Madam Qin, "Thank you, Mr. Shen!"

She was considerate enough not to overstay and went back downstairs to the outside of Patriarch Qin’s ward.

"Why are you still treating him?" Shen Que didn’t understand, "He has committed terrible crimes!"

If Ye Wanlan had not been there, the thirty or more workers of Yuandao Chemical Plant would have died. How many families would be destroyed by Patriarch Qin’s hands?

The director was equally confused and mostly angered, "The Qin Family is really going too far. The hospital has already received too many patients who were injured because of them and didn’t make it."

He saw it with his own eyes, yet felt powerless in his heart.

"Because with the Qin Family’s methods, if Patriarch Qin suffers from a serious illness, it might lead to a prison sentence outside," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "Why should I let him be free outside? So I need him to wake up, stay conscious, and be able to move."

Though Shen Que thought hard, he hadn’t considered this aspect and shuddered, "You, you know the law this well?"

"A little," Ye Wanlan replied casually.

Shen Que: "..."

He didn’t quite believe her.

She was already adept at it!

"Additionally, continue charging for your services as you did before," Ye Wanlan said, "We’ll split it fifty-fifty."

"No need, no need, I don’t lack that bit of money," Shen Que waved his hand generously, "You can have it all. I have no problem giving you my entire treasury, just teach me the rest of the Taiyi Divine Needle techniques, and I’ll do anything you ask."

The director abruptly stood up, exclaiming, "What? The later parts of the Taiyi Divine Needle?"

As the director of Jiangcheng First Hospital, he knew all too well how important the ten Taiyi Divine Needle techniques were throughout the history of Shenzhou, a crystallization of the Shenzhou healers’ wisdom.

With their loss, everyone lamented and was in pain.

Could this young Miss Ye be an even more formidable figure than the Yunjing Su Family?

Even as descendants of Taiyi Palace, the Yunjing Su Family didn’t possess the latter arts of the Taiyi Divine Needle!

Ye Wanlan glanced at the two, "Keep your mouths shut."

"Absolutely, absolutely," Shen Que covered his mouth at once, "I just got too excited. Really, look, my hands are shaking."

The director dared not speak anymore, but he understood the gravity of keeping the secret.

"Go treat Patriarch Qin," Ye Wanlan unscrewed her thermos and took a sip of her tea, "I won’t be joining you. His hands can be healed by you, but his legs cannot."

Shen Que didn’t say a word, just stared at the cup in her hands, "That cup..."

"Yes, Young Master Yan gave it to me," Ye Wanlan looked down at it, "Is there a problem?"

Shen Que was speechless.

Was Yan Tingfeng a child? Why would he do something as juvenile as inscribing "Gifted by Yan Tingfeng" on a cup?

He hadn’t done such a thing since he was five.

"He’s too stingy!" grumbled Shen Que, "Only a cup worth just over ten thousand for you. If it were me, even the dog bowl I’d give would be worth fifty thousand!"

Ye Wanlan paused for a moment, "Are you saying this cup is worth ten thousand?"

"Yes," Shen Que nodded, "Yunjing limited edition, I have one too."

Ye Wanlan looked up at him, "You can go now."

Shen Que promptly dusted off his pants and went downstairs.

As Ye Wanlan said, Patriarch Qin’s legs were completely ruined, but his hands still had a chance for recovery.

Such injuries were indeed a walk in the park for Shen Que.

An hour later, he came out of the ward.

"Mr. Shen!" Madam Qin approached eagerly, "How is my son doing?"

Shen Que was very warm-hearted, "Don’t worry, he’ll wake up soon, and it won’t be a big deal."

"Thank you so much, thank you very much," Madam Qin thanked him repeatedly, "Without you, we wouldn’t know what to do."

Shen Que thought to himself that they’d better not thank him, because once Qin Xian truly woke up, that would be when the Qin Family’s misfortune began!

If it weren’t for Ye Wanlan asking him to come, he would not be willing to dirty his hands.

Madam Qin then asked, "May I know how much Mr. Shen’s consultation fee is...?"

"My fee for house calls isn’t high, seventy million per visit," Shen Que said with a smile, "You can just transfer it to my card when the time comes."

Madam Qin’s expression froze.

"What’s wrong?" Shen Que asked deliberately, "Rest assured, I’m a law-abiding good citizen, I guarantee I’ll pay taxes!"

Madam Qin’s smile was strained, "Nothing, I will make sure to pay the seventy million to Mr. Shen as soon as possible."

In just a month’s time, the Qin Family had lost over one hundred million in cash flow, how could she not feel the pinch?

And the whole cause of it was all because of Ye Wanlan; without Ye Wanlan, there would be no losses for the Qin Family.

Madam Qin’s gaze turned dark, adding another layer of hatred for Ye Wanlan in her heart.

Four in the afternoon.

When Ye Wanlan returned home, Lin Huaijin, Khor Peiqing, and Lin Wenli were also back.

"Ah Lan!" Lin Huaijin hurried forward, "You’re alright, aren’t you? I heard you fainted from exhaustion, it’s my fault for always dragging you down."

"Uncle, if that’s the case, it should be me who has dragged you down," Ye Wanlan consoled him in return, "I’m just glad you’re okay."

"The notion of victim-blaming is wrong," Lin Wenli frowned, "Instead of apologizing to each other, why don’t you condemn the real culprit?"

"The Qin Family is the instigator," Khor Peiqing added indifferently.

"Right, right, right, I was foolish," Lin Huaijin slapped his forehead, highly concerned, "Ah Lan, has the Qin Family been... to you...?"

"No," Ye Wanlan brushed it off lightly, "While you were in the interrogation room, I had already disabled Qin Xian for good. I expect he’ll wake up by tomorrow morning and by then, he will be arrested and brought to justice."

Lin Wenli nodded, his eyes also cold, "I just fear the Qin Family might still have some means to protect him."

"Not this time," Ye Wanlan laughed lightly, "Once he’s in, he shouldn’t think of getting out."

Last time, Qin Xian’s crimes couldn’t be ended once and for all, so she decided to reconcile with the Qin Family and took fifty million as the startup fund for Pulling the Sky Company.

But this time she could eradicate the problem, so of course she would send Qin Xian on his way.

Strike when it’s time to strike!

"Now that this is resolved, but uncle, I want to find you a new job, this side..." Ye Wanlan was speaking when her eyelids drooped and her head slanted, and she fell asleep again.

"Ah Lan!" Lin Huaijin was startled.

Running around continuously, she really was too tired.

Lin Huaijin felt a twinge of sorrow.

So young, yet she bore so many burdens.

If his elder brother saw this, he would feel comforted, but at the same time, heartbroken.

"Wenli, let’s take your sister to the bedroom so she can rest well," Lin Huaijin sighed, "Help her ask for leave for next week’s final exams. Anyway, those questions are a piece of cake for her."

Lin Wenli nodded, but as he stepped forward, Khor Peiqing brushed him aside with her hand.

"You two big men, get out of the way!" Khor Peiqing said irritably, "Don’t you know men and women shouldn’t touch? I’ve got this."

She bent down and effortlessly hoisted Ye Wanlan across her waist and strode into the bedroom with agile steps.

Lin Huaijin turned his head in surprise, "Oh, your mom, she’s really strong too, I never realized before."

Lin Wenli: "..."

He started to suspect that his dad was lowering the IQ his mom provided him.

The next day, when the sun was high on its chariot, Qin Xian finally woke up faintly.

"Ah Xian!" Patriarch Qin had also rushed back from out of town, anxious, "How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

Qin Xian’s voice was extremely hoarse, "No, just that..."

Why couldn’t he feel his feet at all?!

"Ah Xian, Mr. Shen has saved your life, and your hands can recover," Madam Qin felt awful, "It’s just that from now on... you may have to sit in a wheelchair forever!"

"Ye Wanlan!" Qin Xian was furious, "Dad, Mom, it was her. She ambushed me on the way home, and without a word, she attacked me. This time, she must die!"

A glint of cold light flashed in Madam Qin’s eyes, "It was indeed her, acting all innocent in front of me."

"The same one who extorted fifty million from us last time and was Hechen’s body double, that lowly vase?" Patriarch Qin frowned.

"That’s her, the one with ruthless tactics," Madam Qin sneered, "Now that Ah Xian is awake, we can call the police. I want to see how she gets out of this unscathed."

Patriarch Qin’s gaze was heavy, but he didn’t speak.

"Sir, Madam!" Just then, Steward Qin ran over again, panicked, "They’re here, they, they want Third Young Master..."

"Ah Xian has just woken up and needs to recover, we won’t see anyone now, not even Zhou Hechen or Sheng Yunyi," said Madam Qin with a cold wave of her hand, "Tell them to leave."

"It’s not them, Madam, it’s... it’s the police!" Steward Qin’s voice trembled terribly, "They say the Third Young Master is involved in a major criminal case that endangers society, he’s to be arrested and brought to justice, I’m afraid..."

Criminal?!
