Chapter 167: Posing as a Doctor
On the way.
Yan Mingyu glanced at Tang Xiaotian and still voiced the doubt in her heart, "How did you know I was kidnapped?"
"When you got out of the car, you seemed a bit dazed, and I was worried it wouldn't be safe for you to drive alone, so I followed you.
But I had to pull over to take a call, and by the time I caught up, all that was left was your empty car, and there was a strong smell of gasoline at the scene. I guessed you were probably in trouble.
I'm not from East Sea and I'm not familiar with the roads. I took a few wrong turns, otherwise, I should have been able to get there sooner to save you!"
Tang Xiaotian gripped the steering wheel with both hands, eyes fixed ahead, and calmly explained.
"Then... where are you from? Why did you come to East Sea?"
Although this man had made a good impression on her and had rescued her at a critical moment, Yan Mingyu's upbringing still made her wary of Tang Xiaotian.
"Hehe, from Jinling. I have my own security company. Pei Luoyan hired my company for her concert in East Sea, so I came along!"
Tang Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Are you from the provincial capital, a member of the Tang Family?"
Yan Mingyu surely knew that the few big families in the provincial capital were more powerful and wealthier by more than just a bit compared to those in East Sea.
Otherwise, the muscular man who claimed to be from the Liu Family wouldn't have elicited such a disdainful expression from Tang Xiaotian.
"Yes, Tang Xiaotian is my father!"
Tang Xiaotian nodded and openly admitted his identity as a member of the Tang Family.
"The young master of the Tang Family has always been quite mysterious, I didn't expect to meet the person himself today!"
Yan Mingyu cocked her head, staring unblinkingly at Tang Xiaotian.
It wasn't because she was infatuated, but the rumors about the young master of the Tang Family were simply too many: about him attending university at twelve, starting his own company at fifteen, topping the list of dream lovers for southern women...
Wait and so on...
The halo around him was simply too bright, he was really the pinnacle among men.
"Hehe, actually, it's not that I'm trying to be obscure, but I'm rarely in Jinling. Most of the time, I'm in the military camp; I just retired last year."
Tang Xiaotian said with a laugh.
"Oh, no wonder... you give me a familiar feeling!"
Yan Mingyu suddenly realized.
When Tang Xiaotian burst through the door, she had mistaken him for Qin Yu. It turned out both men were retired soldiers.
This fact made Yan Mingyu's favorable impression of Tang Xiaotian increase yet again.
In her view, soldiers were trustworthy people.
"Hehe..."
Tang Xiaotian chuckled, his cheeks revealing two shallow dimples, paired with a stubble of aquamarine, giving off a mature, steady yet gentle, and considerate vibe.
After looking at Yan Mingyu, he changed the subject, "Right, you must have also come to see Pei Luoyan's concert, why did you leave so early?"
"Something came up!"
Yan Mingyu did not want to mention that "husband" who had angered her. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been in danger tonight, and if not for Tang Xiaotian, she might have already been humiliated.
"Oh... then rest for a while, I'll put on some music."
Tang Xiaotian could tell that Yan Mingyu didn't want to talk about this topic and ended the chat thoughtfully, starting the car's music.
"Thank you!"
Yan Mingyu said, biting her lip.

Perhaps she was really too tired, as she slowly closed her eyes without realizing it.
At this time.
In Yang City.
After Qin Yu sneaked into the private hospital, he discovered that the security inside was even tighter than outside.
Almost every few meters, there stood a man in black.
This made him even more certain that this was not a regular hospital; it resembled a territory operated by the mafia.
If he wanted to find his father and take him out, there were only two ways: the first was to become invisible and pass under the watchful eyes of these men in black.
Second, it was to knock them all out.
Qin Yu felt that neither of these methods was realistic. Was there no third option?
"Aha... Got it!"
Qin Yu, hiding behind a door of an empty hospital room, saw a figure in a white coat with a face mask, passing by the black-clad figures without any hindrance.
He instantly had an idea, climbed out the window, stepped on the external unit of the air conditioner, and reached the outside of the white-coated person's office.
Seeing him with his legs crossed, scrolling on his smartphone, Qin Yu pushed with both hands and jumped in.
"Who?"
The white coat put down his phone, slightly stunned.
"Bang!"
Qin Yu had already flashed in front of him and struck his neck with a chop of his hand.
Waiting for the white coat to slump over unconscious, he began to strip off his white coat, sized it up, and found it more or less fit his own figure.
After putting it on, he also unbuckled the man's belt, tied him up securely, and pocketed his cell phone.
Last, he stuffed the man under the bed he rested on and donned a brand-new mask.
Then, from the drawer, he found sedatives and syringes, drew two doses into the syringes, and grabbed a handful of scalpels to hide in his sleeve for self-defense.
Only after everything was ready did he push the door open and step out of the office.
On the corridor, the two black-clad figures only glanced at Qin Yu before looking away.
This trick really worked!
Qin Yu felt a bit more relaxed, hands in his pockets, as he walked into the elevator.
He checked the sign above; the operation room was actually on the negative first floor, completely opposite to that of a regular hospital. Presumably, it was to stay hidden and to do things that couldn't stand the light of day.
Quickly.
Qin Yu arrived at the negative first floor. The door of the operating room was wide open, indicating that the surgery hadn't started yet.
However, nurses occasionally passed by him.
But no one spoke.
Qin Yu guessed that this black hospital inherently had its issues, so there must be very strict rules and regulations in place, and even doctors and nurses didn't recognize each other.
This also made things easier for him. Dressed in a white coat, impersonating a doctor and walking around confidently, no one came to interrogate him.
After passing several rooms, he finally saw his father and Zhou Cuiping.
Now, impersonating a doctor here and taking his father out wasn't hard, but that would let Zhou Cuiping off too easily, this vile woman.
How could he make her pay for her wickedness?
As Qin Yu pondered, a nurse came by, glanced at him slightly, opened the door and entered the room, "Change into the sterile suit, surgery in ten minutes!"
After speaking, she left a set of green sterile garments and hurriedly walked out.
"Old Qin, I represent our Zhou Family, thank you so much!"
Zhou Cuiping held Qin Jianjun's hand, insincerely speaking.
"Thank you for what? I'm a dead man anyway. Living an extra day or one less, doesn't make any difference to me!"
Qin Jianjun waved his hand, his attitude towards life and death was quite indifferent.
"Then let me change your clothes for you!"
Zhou Cuiping unfolded the sterile suit, ready to help Qin Jianjun into it.
Squeak...
At that moment, they saw a tall doctor push the door and walk in.
"Doctor..."
Zhou Cuiping looked puzzled.
However, the stranger said nothing, instead taking a syringe from the pocket of his white coat and inserted it into her neck.
"You....."
Zhou Cuiping felt her body go limp and collapsed to the floor.
