After Nan Yan finished reading the report, she transferred it to her account and handed the milk tea to the inspector.
“Extract the drugs from it.”
“Of course, Miss Nan.
The laboratory inspector had been informed by Tao Qingming about Nan Yan’s identity and was very respectful toward her.
When she came out of the laboratory, Nan Yan immediately spotted the tall and imposing man waiting outside.
“Brother.”
The somberness in Nan Yan’s eyes dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on her lips as she walked briskly toward him.
Qin Lu placed a large hand on her head and rubbed it, his gaze gentle as he asked, “What happened?”
Nan Yan blinked and looked up at Qin Lu’s captivating face. She sighed and said, “Someone tried to use my Fourth Brother to harm me.”
“Your Fourth Brother?”
Qin Lu’s eyes grew slightly deeper. “Was he deceived by someone?”
He had been absent earlier and had no idea what had happened in the hospital room. However, he also knew that with Fu Yubai and Nolan there, along with Nan Yan’s abilities, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
“No, it’s more serious than being deceived. My Fourth Brother isn’t a fool; he wouldn’t be easily deceived.”
Nan Yan’s expression darkened slightly. “He should have been controlled by someone.”
“I might have to go there later. Brother, will you accompany me?”
“Of course,” Qin Lu said with a slight curve of his lips.
Nan Yan knew that asking him to accompany her made him quite happy. She was gradually learning to share her burdens with him.
In fact, he hoped that Nan Yan would rely on him more, but he also knew that with her personality, she wouldn’t depend on him for everything.
She would handle things herself if she could, often forgetting that she had him to rely on.
As for Tang Cheng, who was still in the emergency room, Qin Lu didn’t even consider going back to check on him.
This was a hospital with doctors and nurses, and his safety didn’t require others to worry about it.
As for Old Master An, Nolan was temporarily taking care of him.
So, Nan Yan and Qin Lu didn’t return but drove directly to the An family’s residence.
Fu Yubai followed An Xiran all the way to the An family’s residence and eavesdropped on his conversation with An Muyao.
After Nan Yan and Qin Lu arrived, Fu Yubai quietly approached them.
“Yanyan, your guess was correct. Your Fourth Brother is indeed being controlled,” Fu Yubai’s tone was somewhat serious.
This situation was something he had never encountered before. It wasn’t the result of hypnotic control. If it were, there would be traces, something to detect. But An Xiran’s condition clearly didn’t fit the profile of someone under hypnosis.
Nan Yan nodded. “Yes, Third Brother. Do you have a recording of their conversation?”
“I do.” Fu Yubai took out his phone and opened the video he had discreetly recorded. In order to capture the audio, he had already placed his Bluetooth earpiece in An Xiran’s pocket before he left. So, the video he recorded had sound.
Nan Yan clicked play.
The video started with An Xiran entering the An family’s residence after leaving the hospital. As he returned home directly from the hospital, he found An Muyao waiting for him in the living room.
Upon entering, An Xiran respectfully approached her, knelt on one knee, and addressed her as “Master.”
Watching his pious demeanor, An Muyao grinned and said, “An Xiran, back when you ignored me for that despicable Nan Yan, did you ever think it would come to this?”
She clenched her teeth and raised her hand, slapping An Xiran’s face.
An Xiran remained motionless, his face turned from the force of the blow, but he immediately straightened it and began apologizing meekly.
“Master, I was wrong.”
“Feel free to punish me, Master. Being struck by you is an honor.”
“You brought this upon yourself.”
An Muyao showed a cruel smile on her face as she raised her hands, repeatedly striking An Xiran’s face until it swelled. She continued until her palms stung from the blows, relishing in the sense of revenge.
Despite his swollen face, An Xiran remained on his knees before An Muyao without any signs of retreat. His expression even contained a hint of remorse. “It’s all my fault for having such thick skin, causing Master’s hands to hurt. I deserve to die!”
“You indeed deserve to die, but not yet. Tomorrow, you’ll find a way to bring that wretched Nan Yan to me. If you can accomplish this, I’ll spare your life and let you stay by my side forever.”
An Xiran’s face was swollen, making his speech somewhat unclear, but he continued to express his respect and eagerness. “Master, rest assured, I will definitely fulfill your task!”
