Taishu Yuanxiang nodded. "Rest assured, I will not allow anyone to harm my wife and children. Since she had the guts to do this, don't blame me for being ruthless." Thinking of the pain her wife suffered, Taishu Yuanxiang had no intention of letting this person go.
Taishu Yuanxiang was never a good man. To be called "Seventh Master" by people in the underworld, he could never be considered good. However, over the years, he had cleaned up his act and lived in the open. With a happy family, he had almost cut ties with the underworld. This did not mean Taishu Yuanxiang had lost his abilities; otherwise, Taishu Industries would not have developed so well.
"If you need any help, just tell me," Yan Aohan said, patting Taishu Yuanxiang’s shoulder.
"Alright. If I need help, I won’t be polite with you," Taishu Yuanxiang said seriously.
Zhu Shunyo sighed nearby. "It seems our family has bad luck this year. First, Doumiao was injured. Then someone tried to assassinate Ani. Now An’nan almost got into trouble. I think in a few days, you three siblings should go to a temple or Taoist shrine outside the city to pray."
Zhu Yanyi gave a dry laugh. "Dad, when did you catch Mom’s personality? Besides, it’s normal for me to be assassinated. As long as I hold this position, people will always try to kill me. I’m used to it. Fame brings trouble. Just get used to it."
"Can you get used to this?" Zhu Shunyo looked at Zhu Yanyi with dissatisfaction and tapped her head with a finger to show her displeasure.
Zhu Yanyi stuck out her tongue. "Dad, I was just saying. Besides, Aohan is by my side. Even if Aohan is on a business trip, Brother Luo and the others are here. If anyone wants to assassinate me, they need to figure out if they can succeed first."
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly as she spoke. This wasn’t just talk. Killing her really required some skill.
Zhu Shunyo glared at Zhu Yanyi. "Remember, don’t be willful. You have us, your family. Don’t let yourself get hurt." Her daughter’s current status naturally came with a price.
Zhu Yanyi nodded directly. "Rest assured, I remember."
When Xie Xinlian arrived, Zhu Yanli was still sleeping. Seeing that Zhu Yanli was fine, everyone relaxed. Xie Xinlian began to think about how to nourish Zhu Yanli’s body during her confinement, while Zhu Yanyi still had to treat her patients.
After Zhu Yanyi finished diagnosing all her patients and returned, she sat for a moment and drank some water. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said only to Yan Aohan, "The Red Wolf people are here." Then she smiled. "Although Red Wolf has a bad reputation, their actions are surprising. I thought they would appear at night or when no one was around. Who knew they would show up in broad daylight?"
Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "They are here, but they know they cannot assassinate you right now because you must have many people protecting you. So they need time to probe your background. I think the best way for them is to have a patient and create an inside-outside cooperation."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "You’re right. They really brought a patient. And this patient was specifically bribed by them. It’s a hepatitis patient."
"An acute hepatitis patient. Is it not difficult to treat?" Yan Aohan asked with a smile.
"Hepatitis is contagious. Chronic hepatitis is more troublesome to treat, but acute hepatitis is not difficult. I don’t even need to handle it. Many doctors at the Capital Hospital can cure this disease," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "And today is Friday. My next regular outpatient clinic with limited numbers is next Wednesday. They can’t send the patient here and wait until next Wednesday."
Yan Aohan nodded slightly after hearing this. "I think that might be their idea."
Zhu Yanyi laughed lightly. "But if a patient comes to the hospital and isn’t treated, that’s improper. Even if they don’t want to, once they are in the hospital, the doctors are in charge, not the patients. Unless they refuse treatment and go home."
If they came to the hospital without seeking treatment, wouldn’t that be like shopping? Such behavior would easily arouse suspicion.
"Who knows what they are thinking. Anyway, you don’t need to worry about this. Basically, these people can’t make much of a splash."
For Yan Aohan, a group like the Red Wolf Mercenary Group was not a significant role. At most, they were just for Zhu Yanyi to play with or practice on. There was nothing else to say.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "That’s true, but I feel things won’t be this simple. The Red Wolf Mercenary Group, no matter how notorious, is an old-established mercenary group. Would they really do something with such a big flaw as bringing a patient to impersonate in broad daylight?"
Yan Aohan tilted his head and thought, agreeing with Zhu Yanyi. "Better safe than sorry. Just pretend you don’t know. Since other doctors in the hospital can treat her illness, they naturally can’t trace it back to you."
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "But you still need to keep an eye on the Red Wolf Mercenary Group."
Yan Aohan hummed in reply. "But what is this Silver Fox thinking? He got the news about Red Wolf and specifically passed it to us? When did he start doing things without expecting a return?"
Silver Fox always had a purpose for his actions. This was obvious to both Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, especially Yan Aohan, who understood Silver Fox better. Silver Fox was a standard example of helping friends rather than justice. For the people he cared about, he could directly destroy his own parents if they harmed those he cared about most. In Silver Fox’s eyes, there was no distinction between good and evil, only whether to do it or not, and whether he cared or not.
Of course, Yan Aohan knew Silver Fox’s ultimate goal. But even for that ultimate goal, he wouldn’t pass the news to Zhu Yanyi without compensation unless he had a purpose.
"Could it be that the Red Wolf Mercenary Group was originally Silver Fox’s target? Now that they are targeting me, he is using me to strike?" Zhu Yanyi said casually, not realizing she had actually guessed the truth.
Yan Aohan raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You know what, this possibility is quite high. I think it is very likely indeed."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan. "Really? But how did the Red Wolf Mercenary Group offend Silver Fox?"
Yan Aohan spread his hands. "That’s a question for Silver Fox. We don’t know for now. Fortunately, regardless of his purpose, the Red Wolf Mercenary Group targeting you is a fact. So even if we are being used, we cannot refuse this favor."
