Lan Yuxi sneered, "Dr. An, quite a trick!"
An Qian's body stiffened slightly. When she turned around, a proper smile reappeared on her face. "You two, I have patients here. Isn't it inappropriate for you to barge in like this?"
Lan Yuxi said coldly, "I don't see any patients, but I do see an unscrupulous doctor! An Qian, you have quite a nerve!"
As soon as Lan Yuxi finished speaking, Nan Xiangdong sat up.
An Qian's eyes widened in shock. "You..."
Nan Xiangdong shot her a cold glance, walked to the storage cabinet, took out his phone, and opened the back cover in front of her.
An Qian instinctively took a step back. "Impossible! This is impossible! How could you possibly be awake!?"
Nan Xiangdong looked at her coldly. "I wasn't asleep at all!"
An Qian opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but Nan Yi didn't give her the chance. He raised his large hand and placed it on the back of her neck.
An Qian immediately went limp.
Nan Yi placed the unconscious An Qian on the examination bed.
Lan Yuxi pinched her jaw and forced a pill into her mouth. However, An Qian's subsequent reaction left Lan Yuxi feeling somewhat defeated.
Her medicine couldn't control An Qian at all.
Seeing Nan Er bring the young girl from the front desk in, Nan Xiao tugged Lan Yuxi's hand.
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow slightly and took out a pill, feeding it to the girl.
Lan Yuxi waited for a moment. Seeing the girl's gaze becoming hazy, she asked in a cold voice, "How long have you been here?"
"Six days."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly. Knowing she wouldn't get much information, she still asked a few more questions out of desperation. As expected, the girl had been there for too short a time and knew nothing. However, she didn't know *absolutely* nothing. She did recognize Nan Xiangnan and said that Nan Xiangnan had come five days in a row this week.
Lan Yuxi sighed softly. "It seems I need to take a good look at Xiangnan."
Nan Xiao frowned and nodded. "Then I'll trouble you."
Lan Yuxi glared at him playfully. "We're family, why are you being so polite with me!"
As she spoke, Lan Yuxi flicked a golden needle. As the needle landed, An Qian let out a soft moan and woke up.
An Qian slowly recovered and finally remembered what had happened. Her almond-shaped eyes glared furiously at the approaching Lan Yuxi.
Lan Yuxi curved her lips. "Hate me? You have no right! Someone who schemes against her own brother, what right do you have to hate me!"
An Qian closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes were full of moisture. "When I agreed to extract information for him, I didn't know he was my brother."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly. "Even if he were a stranger, what you did was illegal. No matter who you are, I will send you to court to seek justice for those you betrayed!"
"No!" An Qian struggled to sit up but found herself completely devoid of strength. An Qian asked in terror, "What did you do to me?!"
"You looked too tired, so I let you rest," Lan Yuxi said, looking down at her. "Who instructed you to do this?"
Tears streamed down An Qian's face. "I don't know who he is. I agreed to work for him because if I didn't, he would kill my little brother's family and my father. Please, don't sue me. If he finds out something happened to me, he'll definitely kill my little brother's family and my father."
Lan Yuxi raised an eyebrow, and the tear mole at the corner of her eye twitched. "Even if nothing had happened, if you didn't provide him with information, he would still have taken action against An Cheng and the others."
Despair appeared in An Qian's eyes. "Then what can we do?"
"Cooperate with us, help us catch that person, and we'll help protect your father and brother."
A flicker of hope flashed in An Qian's eyes. "He's too powerful, omniscient. You can't protect my father and brother."
"You extracted so much information from Xiangnan, and that person couldn't do anything to Nan Xiao. Tell me, do we have that capability?"
An Qian's forehead was covered in sweat. After a long while, she seemed to make a great decision, and finally uttered a word, "Okay!"
Lan Yuxi pulled out the golden needle and helped her up.
An Qian glanced at the girl sleeping on the sofa. "Don't hurt her, she doesn't know anything. I'm afraid my business will involve innocent people. They change people every month."
Lan Yuxi exchanged a look with Nan Xiao. It seemed An Qian wasn't entirely bad.
An Qian pursed her lips tightly and led everyone to her office. She pointed to the computer on the desk.
"That person always contacts me through this. I'll give you the book to decipher the password now. You can do as you wish, but you must promise me that you will protect my father and my three brothers and their families."
Seeing Lan Yuxi nod, An Qian pulled a Compendium of Materia Medica from the bookshelf. "The first three numbers are the page number. If it's less than one hundred, use zero. The middle two characters are the line number. If it's less than ten, also use zero. The last two numbers are the count of that word. If it's less than ten, also use zero."
Lan Yuxi took the book and flipped through it. It was just an ordinary Compendium of Materia Medica. If one didn't know the secret, it would be impossible to decipher their code.
An Qian opened the computer and clicked on the chat software. The chat history contained only a photo sent one second ago.
An Qian's eyes widened in terror as she looked at the photo.
Seeing this, Lan Yuxi quickly looked at the screen.
The photo showed an old man holding a little boy, while the barrel of a sniper rifle was pointed at them.
"No—!" An Qian cried out heartbrokenly and then fainted.
Lan Yuxi held her and pressed her philtrum.
Nan Xiangdong looked around cautiously. "This place is being monitored."
Nan Xiao quickly took out his phone and dialed. "An Cheng, where are you?"
"I'm at the company..."
"Contact your father immediately. Once you find him, give me his precise location."
"...What happened?"
"Your father and child might be in danger. Contact them immediately!"
As soon as Nan Xiao finished speaking, the line went dead.
An Qian slowly opened her eyes, grabbed Lan Yuxi's collar, and pleaded, "Please, hurry and save my father and my nephew."
Lan Yuxi nodded. "Give me your father's phone number."
An Qian nodded gratefully, then recited a string of numbers.
Instead of calling An Qian's father, Lan Yuxi used An Qian's computer to find her father's exact address.
Lan Yuxi quickly sent out the address, then added a message.
[Be sure to protect the elder and the child!]
Nan Xiao was also gathering his forces.
An Qian, beside them, clutched her head in regret.
