Chapter 170: Wang Anguo Is Leaving
Old Man Yun nodded slightly. "I understand. I will review the documents first. You may leave."
She dismissed Luo Tao. It was indeed inappropriate for Luo Tao to remain while Old Man Yun worked, so she exited the room.
In the shadows, the hidden figures had already received the news.
"Are you certain that Old Man Yun has fully recovered?"
"Not only has he recovered, but his body is regressing to a younger state. I am deeply curious about what kind of divine physician possesses such skill." The voice was gloomy. They harbored hostility toward whoever had healed Old Man Yun.
"Now that Old Man Yun’s health has improved, trouble will likely arise in the capital. Instruct Cobra to remain hidden. Under no circumstances must his existence be discovered. He is a crucial piece on the board; we cannot afford to lose him."
"I know this without you telling me. My current concern is Viper. Now that Old Man Yun has recovered, Viper faces far greater pressure than any of us."
"We must find a way to move Viper away temporarily to consolidate our strength. We cannot allow Old Man Yun to discover him. We cannot afford further losses." The man fell silent for a moment, recalling the raid from several years ago. Most of the talents he had cultivated had been eliminated. The remaining elites were few. If Old Man Yun discovered them, there would be no hope of his resurgence.
"Viper’s current position is difficult to alter. Moreover, the Yan family is watching closely." There was worry and heaviness in his tone.
The man pondered for a moment. "Let us take a step back. I recall that Viper suffers from frequent headaches. I also know that some of the old masters have returned, including Hua Tianyao. I suspect Old Man Yun was healed by him. Let Viper use the excuse of seeking treatment for his headaches to retreat temporarily. We will use this opportunity to probe Hua Tianyao’s background."
"If it is indeed Hua Tianyao, should we kill him first?"
"If you have the courage, go ahead. Hua Tianyao is the savior of the next head of state. Next year is the election year, and the next head of state will officially take practice chamber. If you have the nerve, go and cause trouble for Hua Tianyao." The man glanced at the speaker. "However, you are right on one point. If we confirm that Hua Tianyao healed Old Man Yun, we should at least cause him some trouble as a warning."
At the Yan residence, Yan Aohan finished processing some documents when he heard a knock on the study door.
"Come in."
It was Old Man Yan. Yan Aohan looked up briefly, then lowered his head to continue his work. "Father, what brings you to see me at this hour?"
"I heard that Old Man Yun’s injuries have healed?" Old Man Yan asked.
Yan Aohan did not even lift his head, merely nodding once. "Correct. My previous trip outside was to seek medical help for Old Man Yun."
"Was it the divine physician who treated you?" Upon hearing this, Old Man Yan understood the situation. Yan Aohan’s health had worried him greatly in the past. Many doctors in the capital had failed to cure him. Unexpectedly, a trip outside had resulted in a cure.
Yan Aohan hummed in affirmation. "It was her who treated her."
Old Man Yan nodded slightly, then sighed. "Now that Old Man Yun has recovered, he will likely become a target for certain individuals."
"Even if Old Man Yun’s health were poor, he would still be a target for those people." Yan Aohan had not forgotten what Zhu Yanyi had said about the formations within their bodies. It seemed they had long been regarded as thorns in the side of their enemies.
