CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196 LI TIANYAO ARRIVES

In a sterile environment, this poison will attach itself to any object it can. As long as it doesn’t come into contact with blood, it won’t cause any harm. But once exposed to a non-sterile environment, the poison will immediately take effect, and the person it has attached to will succumb to the poison instantly! Even if An Yan was as cautious as can be, she had no way to deal with this poison! All she could do now was to quietly wait, wait for the moment An Yan walked out of the operating room!

"Miss Qingqing, it’s time to depart."

Someone came over to open the door.

Li Qingqing shut down her computer, got up, took her luggage, and walked out. Once An Yan was dead, Jiuge might not stay in this city any longer; she could just go back to Shangjing City and wait for him. As for the matter of gouging out An Yan’s eyes, someone could be sent to do that when the time came!

Li Qingqing boarded the plane full of joy.

「Inside the conference room.」

Suppressing his excitement, Tian Zhongren quickly organized his students, preparing to head to the operating room. Taking over was impossible; he just wanted his students to get inside. All it took was to bring the bacteria in. To achieve this goal, he specifically brought a careless student along and tampered with him as well. As long as he went in, then...

Just as he was getting excited, he saw An Yan on the screen suddenly say, "Lin Ling, guard the door. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave this operating room."

"Understood, Miss!"

In the conference room, Zhang Xuebin immediately stopped Tian Zhongren’s students. "Please return to your seats."

If the little master didn’t allow entry or exit, there must be a reason!

Tian Zhongren narrowed his eyes at An Yan on the screen, a sense of unease creeping into him. Could it be that An Yan knows about this poison?

「In the operating room.」

Lin Ling also voiced a similar doubt, "Miss, do you recognize this poison?"

"Yes. And this poison targets not only the patient!" An Yan said while rapidly inserting needles into the patient. "This poison will attach itself to all objects it can adhere to. This means it’s possible that every one of us has already been contaminated with this poison."

Tian Zhongren was speechless for a moment, then frowned deeply. "What is she talking about? How can there be such a poison?"

Professor Song shook his head. "I’ve never heard of the kind of poison she’s describing! But if it’s true, we really shouldn’t send more people in now!"

Worry was written all over Tian Zhongren’s face. "So we’re just going to leave them be? Professor Song, I don’t care what you think, but I can’t stand by and watch people die!"

With that, Tian Zhongren stood up and, ignoring Zhang Xuebin’s attempt to stop him, went straight for the door.

「In the operating room.」

An Yan called out to Mu Enyu, "There’s a bottle of medicine inside my clothes. Distribute one pill to everyone!"

Mu Enyu, without hesitation, reached into An Yan’s surgical gown. Sure enough, he found a bottle.

"Give me one first!" An Yan instructed.

After taking her pill, An Yan paid no further mind to the others, continuing to resuscitate the patient without a moment’s pause.

A few silver needles were inserted, and the poison could no longer spread!

Afterward, An Yan extended her finger. A mass of transparent gas, like wind and mist, formed around her fingertip. It enveloped the poison, effortlessly extracting the toxic substance from the patient’s body and collecting it into a glass bottle!

The readings on the monitoring equipment quickly returned to normal!

How was this accomplished?

「In the conference room.」

Professor Song was shocked. "She’s an ancient medicine practitioner? How is that possible? How can there be such a young ancient medicine practitioner in this world?"

The reason ancient medicine was lost to time was that the treatment process always required the use of Inner Strength! And Inner Strength could only be cultivated by practicing Ancient Martial Arts from a young age! He had always thought that this method of treatment had long been lost to the world. Never had he imagined that this young girl named An Yan would know it. And although she was young, her mentality was even better than his, a man who had been immersed in the medical community for decades! This girl indeed had what it takes to be arrogant! A genius!

Tian Zhongren was also stunned by the scene before him! The person who had sold him the poison said that as soon as it came into contact with blood, it would immediately spread, regardless of whether the environment was sterile or not. But what was happening now? Why could An Yan extract the poison! That was poison, poison that had come into contact with blood! With blood flowing so quickly, how could that be possible?

Tian Zhongren was completely panicked. He had spent so much effort to find this poison. To extricate himself from the incident, he had gone to great lengths. He had thought that all he needed to do was to arbitrarily place the poison in the hair of any medical staff member. He thought he just had to wait outside, wait until the surgery was over, wait until those medical staff entered a non-sterile environment, and his task would be more than complete. Even if the police investigated, they wouldn’t find any evidence. But he never expected that An Yan would be able to remove the poison from the patient’s brain. How could An Yan be an ancient medicine practitioner?

The look on Tian Zhongren’s face was as ugly as if he had eaten shit. If she could extract the poison, does that mean she knew about this kind of poison? Would she have a method to detoxify it? The medicine she administered to the medical staff, was that the nemesis of this poison?

The more Tian Zhongren thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

No, he absolutely would not allow anything to go wrong with this matter! This Xiao Xiaojun must not live!

"Please prepare a set of protective gear for me!" Tian Zhongren stood up. "I’m going to take a look inside."

Zhang Xuebin stepped forward to stop him again. "Professor Tian, the situation is still under Professor An’s control. It’s best if you stay put."

Tian Zhongren said sternly, "I know you trust her, but isn’t there an unexpected situation now? Don’t worry, I will just take a look inside. I won’t interfere. Is that alright now?"

Tian Zhongren’s concession was quite substantial this time. He was no longer putting on his professorial airs.

Zhang Xuebin still wanted to refuse, but Professor Song also spoke up. "Let Professor Tian go in. Better safe than sorry! Although we all hope there’s no need to worry, an extra layer of protection is never a bad thing."

To tell the truth, if it weren’t for his physical condition, he would have wanted to go in and stand guard himself. This young girl is a rare and valuable talent!

"If you’re really worried, I can put on the protective gear and stand guard outside the operating room!" Tian Zhongren conceded again.

As long as he got to the door of the operating room, he had plenty of ways to turn a sterile environment into a contaminated one!

With the discussion having reached this point, Director Xiao was moved and said, "President, please prepare protective gear for Professor Tian and the others. Everyone, stand by the entrance of the operating room for now. If support is needed inside, provide it immediately."

It’s settled. Tian Zhongren let out a long sigh of relief inwardly.

However, just as he was about to reach for the door, it was pushed open from the outside.

A few black-suited bodyguards quickly ran in and stood on either side of the door. Through the pathway they created, a tall figure entered with confident strides.

The simple black attire he wore exuded an imperial aura, and his every movement carried an intimidating presence.

Tian Zhongren, who had just puffed up his chest as if ready to make a heroic sacrifice, instantly deflated. He instinctively took a step back.
