The stern voice of Qian Zimo came from the other end of the phone: "What did you lose?"
"It looks like the medical equipment that Boss Qin He left here before," Qi Zhen said, gazing at the large missing section. "Boss Mo, since the drug research was successful, Miss Qin and those three medical experts have already left this villa. How could someone come here to steal things? Could it be related to them?"
Qian Zimo's voice was heavy: "Investigate now, where are the three people who were researching the drugs with Qin He?!"
Since the other party took Qin He's medical equipment, then the other party's objective—
Qian Zimo suddenly had an idea.
Perhaps that was why the other party didn't exchange Qin He for the book. They needed Qin He's medical skills.
Qi Zhen immediately agreed and went to investigate.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Qian Zimo received a message from Qi Zhen.
The three medical experts who had previously researched drugs with Qin He had all disappeared.
His vague suspicion seemed to be confirmed. Qian Zimo immediately initiated a video conference with Qin Yun and Gu Qichen.
His expression was grim: "Those three people have vanished without a trace, and even Qi Zhen couldn't find them for a while. The methods and secrecy are similar to Qin He's disappearance. Moreover, the other party also stole the medical equipment, which might indicate they have other motives. I suspect that there is a very important person in their organization who needs Qin He to help treat an illness, which is why they haven't handed Qin He over yet."
Gu Qichen narrowed his eyes: "This is a very important clue."
"Indeed," Qin Yun pondered for a moment. "If the other party has a very important patient, then they might have sought treatment in major hospitals. We can retrieve all hospital medical records."
Qian Zimo nodded in agreement: "This is much better than us searching the entire world."
The three of them marked out the investigation areas and ended the video communication.
The next day.
At seven in the morning, after Qin He got up and washed, she opened her door and saw Shen Yizong leaning against the wall opposite her door.
"Mr. Shen, is there something you need?" Qin He asked coldly.
Shen Yizong, with his hands in his pockets, stood up straight when he saw Qin He emerge.
"The medical equipment you wanted has been retrieved. I'll take you to see it. You can also direct them on where to place it."
Qin He felt a bit wary and looked at Shen Yizong critically: "So fast."
"Isn't it good that it's fast?"
Qin He followed Shen Yizong downstairs and saw the familiar medical equipment in the villa's courtyard.
Shen Yizong stood beside Qin He, stroking his stubble with his hand, looking at the medical equipment and operating table, which were over two meters tall, with amusement.
"What is this used for? It doesn't look like it's for a physical examination."
Qin He said coldly: "Drug research. Now Yi Lin needs to take targeted therapy drugs. With this machine, I can research targeted drugs that are of higher quality and purity than those on the market."
Shen Yizong frowned: "Didn't you say you had a new treatment plan? Is it just for making drugs?"
Qin He pursed her lips, glanced at Shen Yizong, and said, "Can you understand what I'm telling you, Mr. Shen?"
Her dismissive attitude displeased Shen Yizong, and it interrupted his thoughts.
Shen Yizong let out a cold laugh and looked at Qin He: "You're right. I just need to see my brother get better. Qin He, you don't have much time left."
Qin He directed people to move the medical equipment to beside the office.
Shen Yizong followed her the entire time.
After Qin He directed the placement of the machine, Shen Yizong finally spoke: "I went to see Yi Lin this morning. He seems to have lost more weight."
Qin He glanced at Shen Yizong and sneered: "Patients with stomach cancer have poor absorption. You're keeping him unconscious, and he's only receiving nutrient drips or liquid food all day. It's impossible for him not to lose weight."
Shen Yizong narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming somewhat dangerous.
"So, according to you, it's best to stop injecting Yi Lin with those drugs that make him unconscious? Let him wake up?"
Qin He nodded.
A dangerous aura suddenly appeared.
Shen Yizong grabbed her by the neck, pushing her entire body against the cold medical equipment.
He smiled sinisterly and looked at Qin He: "Qin He, don't think I don't know what you're plotting. You know my brother is infatuated with you, so you want to make him wake up to oppose me, so you can leave here, right?"
Qin He's throat was constricted, and she felt the hand around her neck tighten. She couldn't even cough and had to rasp, "Shen Yizong, you might as well just strangle me to death!"
Shen Yizong's eyes narrowed: "Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Qin He gasped for air, clenched her fists tightly, and softly closed her eyes. She stopped struggling, seemingly ready to accept death.
Shen Yizong's chest burned with anger. He had never met anyone who wasn't afraid of death!
He tightened his grip, lifting Qin He's entire body by her neck.
Seeing that the person in his hand was turning red in the face, seemingly on the verge of death, Shen Yizong's anger surged. Qin He was clearly counting on him needing her to treat Yi Lin, and that he wouldn't dare to kill her.
This woman was truly audacious!
Shen Yizong released his hand. Qin He slid from his grasp and fell to the ground beside the medical equipment. She gasped for air, coughing continuously.
"Qin He, provoking me won't do you any good," Shen Yizong walked in front of Qin He and gazed down at her.
"From today onwards, you have only one month left, which is four weeks. If I don't see any improvement in my brother next week, I'll kill that useless Wang Jiming first."
Shen Yizong crouched down and lifted Qin He's face, which was still coughing violently. "The first week it's Wang Jiming, the second week it's Gao Lang and Li Fengrui, you can pick one. Then in the third week, I'll kill another one. And by the end of the last week, your one-month deadline will also be up. What do you think of my plan?"
Qin He's throat was hoarse, and she couldn't speak. She could only glare at Shen Yizong.
"Shen Yizong, I want Yi Lin to get better even more than you do!"
Shen Yizong narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Even if you want me to create a miracle, you should at least provide me with the necessary conditions. Shen Yilin is unconscious all day, and you don't even give him a chance to eat normally. No matter how I treat him, it will be in vain!"
Qin He met Shen Yizong's gaze and said firmly, "Since my life is in your hands now, aren't you going to trust me just once? Let Shen Yilin wake up, and I absolutely won't tell him that you kidnapped us. I'll just say that we discovered he had an illness, so we specifically found a villa for him to rest and for me to treat him."
Seeing Shen Yizong still hesitating, Qin He continued, "Don't worry, I absolutely won't put him at risk."
Shen Yizong chuckled: "Naturally, I believe Miss Qin."
Qin He knew Shen Yizong had agreed and cursed him inwardly. Believe my ass, his eyes just now were practically wanting to kill her.
