Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The doctors in the hospital soon found out that Tang Li had cured Hou Yong.
Throughout the day, Doctor Xiang had been receiving several calls from his colleagues.
When he answered the call, he would smile and say to Tang Li, “Mrs. Qi, this is the fifth person who called me to find you. They invited you to lunch at the medical staff cafeteria.”
“I think they’re aiming at something different from having a lunch with Miss tang.” Augustine joked, “Miss Tang if you treat two more patients, the Boss of this hospital will beg you to stay.”
Tang Li was calm. She looked at the data that Augustine recorded and said, “I don’t want to be a doctor. I don’t even have time for my personal life if I become one.”
She only wanted to keep an eye on Qi Yihan and prevent him from having any thoughts of divorcing her. As for the rest, as long as she wanted to, she could easily do it by helping a rich person, so she wouldn’t bother to become a doctor.
Tang Li’s words made the three of them fall silent for a while. Augustine said, “Miss Tang, why don’t you join my laboratory? All you need to do is come over once in a while, and you can do whatever you want with the rest of your time.”
“I can’t.”
Tang Li refused directly. “I don’t like staying in the lab either.”
Augustine was extremely disappointed. “With Miss Tang’s capabilities, as long as we work together to develop treatments for the terminal illnesses in the world, we will be able to obtain the highest honor in the medical field. By then, we will have both fame and fortune.”
“No need.”
She would have her island in half a month. When that time came, she would build a herbal garden and a pharmaceutical lab. Not to mention all kinds of terminal illnesses, she could even create elixirs.
When Doctor Xiang and Mr. Yun saw Tang Li’s straightforward rejection, they both abandoned the thought of asking her to join their labs.
…
Due to what happened yesterday, Tang Li became a celebrity in the hospital. Many doctors wanted to see her and discuss medicine with her.
On Qi Yihan’s side.
As soon as he left the hospital, he made a call and sent someone to secretly look for a master to go to the warehouse. At the same time, he also sent people to look for clues everywhere. After a day, there was actually no progress at all.
But at this moment, news of the missing incense burner came from the Qi Mansion.
Qi Yihan rushed back to the Qi Mansion.
When he got back, the family of First Master was present, as well as Second Madam and Third Madam were also present. The others were either working or had yet to rush back from school.
Qi Yihan asked, “What exactly happened?”
As soon as First Master and First Madam saw Qi Yihan, they were so angry that they wanted to rip him apart and eat him alive. The juniors were also angry and didn’t want to talk to him.
It was Second Madam who said, “Today is the fifteenth. When First Madam, Third Madam, and I went to the ancestral hall to offer incense, we found that the Song Dynasty incense burner was missing. We searched the entire mansion but still couldn’t find it.”
Qi Yihan’s sharp gaze turned to First Master.
First Master’s face turned red as he roared at him, “Qi Yihan, what’s with that look in your eyes? Do you think I took the incense burner? Let me tell you, if you really suspect us, you have to show us the evidence today. Otherwise, we’ll go to our father and tell him. We’re both our father’s sons. Do you really think you’re the only one who can visit him but I can’t?”
It was their father who said First Master mustn’t go to the hospital, but if he insisted on going, then the hospital wouldn’t dare to stop him.
Qi Yihan’s gaze turned even sharper. He asked the Second Madam, “When did you find the incense burner missing?”
The Qi family had a lot of antiques, and the incense burner was only one of them. However, rich families valued the things in the ancestral hall very much. If the incense burner was lost, there would always be an ominous feeling. That was why everyone reacted so strongly.
Second Madam replied, “I don’t know. We’ve checked the surveillance camera footage at the ancestral hall for the past few days. Other than the servants who went in to clean, no one else went in.”
“Have you interrogated the servants who cleaned the ancestral hall?”
“Yes, but nothing came out of them.”
Qi Yihan frowned and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The Qi family was an aristocratic family that could be traced back to hundreds of years ago. There were hundreds of Spirit tablets in the ancestral hall, and the various ornaments inside were all priceless antiques that had been blessed by eminent monks.
Especially the incense burner, which was taken back from a temple by their ancestor.
Third Madam, who was following behind Qi Yihan, was so frightened that she started crying. “Does the loss of the incense burner mean that something bad is about to happen… When I think of Father in the hospital, I get worried and scared. If he really leaves just like that, will our Qi family disappear like this incense burner?”
“Third Madam, what nonsense are you spouting!”
First Madam and Second Madam’s hearts skipped a beat when they heard that. At the point where people were already anxious over the loss of the incense burner, Third Madam said something that further worsened their anxiety.
Everyone was panicking except for Qi Yihan.
He looked around the ancestral hall and said in a low voice, “I’ll get someone to bring an incense burner back immediately. I’ll also invite Master Huiqing from Qingyuan Temple over to recite the scriptures. Father is doing very well now. If anyone dares to spout nonsense, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Then, he walked out.
They hurried after him.
Outside, Qi Yihan took out his phone and dialed a number. When the other party picked up, he said, “Search the entire mansion. If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately.”
When he hung up, First Master quickly walked up to his side and warned him with a fierce face, “You can’t tell father about this.”
Qi Yihan looked ahead. “I know.”
First Master was not happy with his attitude. He snorted and rebuked him directly. “You were the one who picked all the guards in the Qi Mansion. Aren’t those guards you sent very capable? Why can’t they even guard an incense burner?”
Qi Yihan finally turned to look at him with a piercing gaze.
First Master was even more displeased. He glared at him. “Did I say something wrong? If you don’t have the ability, then let me handle it. Otherwise, when the word goes out that our family loses the incense burner, we will become the laughing stock of the entire upper class.”
Qi Yihan replied casually, “If you want to take over my place, you have to make up for that one billion first.”
“Nearly a billion!” The moment First Master heard that he shouted, stomping his feet, and he wanted nothing more than pouncing on Qi Yihan and biting him to death.
“What difference does it make?” Qi Yihan’s expression turned even colder. “Do you think there is no due date? You have only a month. If you can’t make up for it, then you’ll have to use your shares.”
“Don’t you dare!” This time, First Master finally lost control and threw a punch at him.
As Second Madam and Third Madam screamed in fear, Qi Yihan caught his fist with one hand, turned it around, and exerted force. With the sound of bones dislocating, Uncle Qi’s face contorted in pain as he screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
“Ouch…”
