After returning from the hospital, Nan Yan took a nap.
When she woke up, it was already 11:30 at night.
She had slept for about three hours, and as she opened her eyes to the darkness in the room, her mind took a moment to clear.
Reaching for her phone on the bedside table, she turned on the screen and found several messages. She read through them one by one, replied to a few, and ignored the rest.
Just after replying to Shen Junqing, he called her.
âYanyan, the person you wanted is at the Lantis Hotel, being watched by Tang Cheng. When are you planning to go over?â he asked. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nan Yan yawned and replied, âTomorrow, itâs too late now.â
âAlright, but what do you plan to do with that woman?â Shen Junqing chuckled wickedly. âIf you want to kill her, donât do it yourself. Tang Cheng will handle it. After all, China is a country governed by law, and murder carries heavy penalties.â
Nan Yan retorted, â Third Brother, which ear of yours heard me say I want to kill someone?â
After her rebirth, except for the incident on the racetrack, where she used legitimate means to make Titan fall off a cliff resulting in his death, she had not killed anyone. She abided by the law.
Shen Junqing let out a low laugh, his voice both charming and magnetic. âAlright, Third Brother knows you have boundaries. Thatâs settled then. Itâs getting late; I wonât keep you from resting. Goodnight.â
âOkay, get some rest too.â
Nan Yan didnât tell him that she had just woken up and couldnât sleep for a while.
At this late hour, Qin Lu was also awake. After Shen Junqing hung up, he called her.
âYanyan, did your Third Senior Brotherâs surgery go well?â
His deep and pleasing voice resonated in her ears.
His voice had the power to allure, even through the phone, it had an effect on her.
Nan Yan moved the phone slightly away from her ear and replied, âYes, the surgery went smoothly. Barring any unforeseen complications, as long as he takes good care of himself, he will make a full recovery.â âThatâs good,â Qin Luâs tone changed. âSo when are you coming to the capital?â
âIn a day or two. I have some matters to attend to in Jin City.â âWhen you come, let me know, and Iâll send someone to pick you up.â
âOkay.â
âShen Junqing mentioned that you asked him for someone. What do you need them for?â
Qin Lu didnât inquire further about Shen Junqingâs involvement, and Shen Junqing wasnât inclined to share any more.
The reason Qin Lu knew about it was because Shen Junqing deliberately used a bragging tone to pique his curiosity.
âSomebody impersonated me and caused a ruckus, and I found out about it,â
Nan Yan explained, recounting the incident of Ji Yunmiao pretending to be her. Qin Lu chuckled softly, âSo, Yanyan, youâre actually a disciple of the Divine
Doctor Huaâ¦â
Nan Yan remarked slyly, âBig brother, you donât sound surprised at all.â Qin Lu calmly replied, âIâm not surprised because I had already guessed.â
âWhen did you figure it out?â
âAt the hospital, when I saw Dr. Taoâs attitude toward you.â
see.â
Nan Yan had to admit that Qin Lu was incredibly perceptive and attentive to detail.
Qin Lu couldnât help but sigh, âLittle one, youâre becoming more mysterious.â
âBig brother, I can give you a chance to uncover my secrets.â âOh?â Qin Lu raised an eyebrow. âWhat are the conditions?â
Nan Yan smiled cunningly, âIâm not ready to tell you yet.â
Only when she was a hundred percent sure she could trust him would she reveal her past completely.
âThatâs fine, big brother will wait for the day youâre ready to tell me.â
âOkay. â
After a casual chat, Qin Lu had to attend a video conference, so he ended the call.
Before hanging up, Nan Yan reminded him to get some rest. He was still recovering from his injuries, and even with her special medicine, not getting enough rest would slow down his recovery. Qin Lu agreed and said, âGoodnight, Yanyan.â
âGoodnight.â
The next morning, after having breakfast, Nan Yan went to the Lantis Hotel to meet Ji Yunmiao.
Ji Yunmiao had considered leaving Jin City and returning to her home country overnight.
Nan Yanâs unexpected appearance had triggered a sense of crisis in her.
This was their first meeting, and she immediately doubted her identity, even wanting her to produce evidence to prove that she was the disciple of the divine doctor.
To avoid getting exposed, she didnât want to meet Nan Yan for the second time.
When she left the hospital, Ling Yingchu kept following her, speaking kindly and begging her to save her boyfriend, to examine him.
In her presence, she transferred the 20 million consultation fee that Ling
Yingchu had given her just to get rid of her before taking a taxi to the airport.
However, as soon as she arrived at the airport, she was intercepted by someone and taken to the Lantis Hotel.
She was locked in a room, and no matter what she asked, the people outside refused to say a word. They even took her phone, making it impossible for her to contact the outside world.
Throughout the night, she didnât dare to close her eyes, fearing that someone would suddenly barge in and do something to her.
So, she anxiously waited for daybreak.
Her mind was racing, wondering who these people were and why they had kidnapped her.
Was it for money or something else?
People who could afford to stay at such a high-end hotel probably werenât lacking money.
She thought back to the events of yesterday when they captured her, and their attitude didnât seem like they were interested in her bodyâ¦
After a sleepless night, Ji Yunmiaoâs nerves were extremely tense.
When she heard movement at the tightly closed room door, she was immediately startled, her eyes filled with panic as she looked toward the entrance.
âMiss Nan, the person is inside. Third Young Master said to let you decide how to deal with her, and weâll handle it.â
Tang Chengâs attitude towards Nan Yan was very respectful, not only because Shen Junqing cared about her but also because he was impressed by her capabilities.
Nan Yan nodded. âAlright.â
It just so happened that she didnât feel like getting her hands dirty this time.
When Ji Yunmiao saw Nan Yan entering from outside, she was startled and her disguise as a delicate fairy-like person was completely forgotten. Angrily, she said, âWho are you? What do you want? Iâll have you know that illegally detaining me is a crime, and Iâll call the police to have you arrested!â
Nan Yan walked up to her, her beautiful face exuding a cold and distant air. She spoke with a hint of chilliness, âJi Yunmiao, you pretended to be me and profited from it. Youâve obtained everything you have now. It must feel quite comfortable, doesnât it?â
Ji Yunmiaoâs heart trembled.
She suddenly widened her eyes and stared at the girl in front of her.
What did she say?
Pretending to be herâ¦
Could she be the one and only true disciple of the divine doctor?
No⦠it couldnât be!
Ji Yunmiao couldnât believe it.
She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen, but according to the information she had gathered, the divine doctorâs disciple should be around twenty-four or twenty-five!
It couldnât possibly be her at such a young age.
Ji Yunmiao forcefully bit her tongue and continued to hold on.
âWhat are you talking about? How did I pretend to be you? Miss, why are you so certain that Iâm a fake? Have you encountered someone using my identity to contact you?â
