An Yan said, "Why should I tell you!"
An Yan was not one to flatter those she disliked. When she disliked someone, she made it known directly.
Li Qingqing choked and silently cast her eyes down. Don’t get angry, don’t get angry. The resentment An Yan is causing her now, she will one day claim back.
Li Tianyao rubbed An Yan’s head and said, "How much do these medicines cost? I’ll have Lu Feng transfer the money to you later!"
"It takes ten Qingling Grasses to make one Qingling Pill. If I remember correctly, wasn’t the price you charged the Lin Family ten million for one Qingling Grass?"
"Then give me that price?"
Shameless! This woman, An Yan, is really too shameless. Not only does she enjoy Tianyao’s exclusive affection, but she also wants his money! One Qingling Grass for ten million, one Qingling Pill made from ten Qingling Grasses—that’s one hundred million. Ten Qingling Pills would be one billion! Yet Tianyao, as if bewitched by her, nods along to whatever she says. Duped out of so much money, he still looks at An Yan tenderly.
"Go wash your hands and let’s eat," Li Tianyao said to An Yan.
"But I want to see the Living Dead!"
An Yan strongly suspected that the Living Dead were just zombies from the movies!
But Li Tianyao disagreed. "Eat first, then you can look at those things after the meal!"
He feared that his little girl would lose her appetite if she saw them beforehand.
Li Qingqing watched them walk hand in hand into the dining room, her head drooping even lower to conceal the flash of jealousy in her eyes.
She hadn’t eaten either! She had been dealing with these matters since early morning! But in Tianyao’s eyes, there was only An Yan! Why?
An Yan was preoccupied and had no interest in eating. She merely nibbled a few bites before putting her chopsticks down.
Five bodies were neatly laid out, four of which were headless. These four must be the so-called Living Dead.
The staff helped to pull back the white cloths covering the bodies.
The skin of the corpses was dark and rigid with cyanosis, and their muscles were atrophied. If it weren’t for their clothes, they would seem like mere skeletons.
An Yan took out a silver needle, intending to take some samples, but when she poked it into a body, the tip bent.
It was ultimately Wen Ya who brought over a knife to cut some samples.
"Where are their heads?"
An Yan thought, considering the skin is hard, perhaps the inside of the heads—like saliva or perhaps even brain stem cells—could be sampled.
But Li Tianyao said, "They’re shattered. The only way to kill them is to blow their heads off!"
Lin Ling, who had come along with her, quickly said, "Madam, I’ve already taken samples of the Living Dead."
As he spoke, he handed over a bottle containing brains...
A chorus of vomiting filled the room!
Only An Yan was unfazed and even gave Lin Ling a thumbs-up.
Li Tianyao averted his gaze and pulled An Yan to the side. "Gu Shifang has also been caught. Do you want to see him?"
She had so many questions she wanted to ask. After getting into the car, An Yan hesitated before asking, "Is Gu Shifang Qin Song?"
An Yan thought that Li Tianyao would keep Qin Song locked up in a hidden place that normally no one would notice, just like the island he had used to imprison Ling Xiao and the others. Unexpectedly, Li Tianyao actually brought her to the police station.
Gu Shifang, wearing Qin Song’s skin, was handcuffed to a chair. He still looked as usual, without even the slightest hint of haggardness.
When Gu Shifang saw Li Tianyao and her come in, he suddenly laughed. "Li Tianyao, you like her a lot, don’t you? So much that even though you coerced her, you still took her to get married! Thinking that little red book could tie her to you forever, eh?"
"Then do you know that you will never truly possess her?"
Gu Shifang said with joyful laughter, "Li Tianyao, if you want the Antidote, just agree to my terms! You know what I want!"
An Yan was confused. Shouldn’t Gu Shifang be a prisoner at this point? But it felt as if he still held some leverage over Li Tianyao.
"You don’t know what I mean? He didn’t tell you?"
Gu Shifang said, even happier, "Then let me tell you. You received the Bell, didn’t you? Do you know the function of the Bell? Do you understand why he, despite being uncontrollable at times, still stubbornly refrained from touching you?"
What did he mean, ’he couldn’t control himself but still restrained himself’? Could it be that the drugs in the Bell didn’t just affect her? Was Li Tianyao also affected?
"Because he guessed my intention, knowing that if he touched you, the consequence would be unimaginable to him."
"What on earth are you talking about?"
An Yan’s rage flared uncontrollably when faced with Qin Song’s face. At first, she really hadn’t regarded him as a bad guy! She had even sympathized with him more than once, feeling sorry for the single father with a gravely ill daughter. She had even wanted to help him! But it turned out he was a boss-level villain! Despite his exceptional medical skills, he watched Qin Yaya suffer under Bai Xiaoyun’s drugs! After all, Qin Yaya was the biological daughter of the body he was currently using!

"The substance in the Bell affects everyone who sniffed it. The reason he was affected yet didn’t touch you is that..."
"He guessed correctly, there’s something inside you that targets him!"
"And he was right, you were specifically cultivated as a poison designed to target him!"
"If you two have intercourse, both of you will go BANG and burst into pieces!"
Gu Shifang’s face was filled with glee as he continued, "I started planning this more than twenty years ago. How about it, Li Tianyao, do you dare to move against me now?"
"Think carefully. If I die, then you can forget about finding me forever!"
"But without the Antidote, she will, at most, only live until she’s twenty-four!"
An Yan was shaken to her core. She had never imagined that Gu Shifang had targeted her more than twenty years ago. Her encounter with Li Tianyao was also meticulously schemed by him. That thumb ring was the bait to hook Li Tianyao.
Li Tianyao’s hand shot out and seized Gu Shifang’s throat, his voice laced with dense murderous intent. "Where is the Antidote? Hand it over!"
"Of course, I can give you the Antidote, but you need to trade something I want for it!" Gu Shifang declared with fearless assurance.
Li Tianyao’s hand around Gu Shifang’s neck froze, his handsome face taut. Upon closer inspection, one could see his fingers trembling slightly from exerting too much force.
"What exactly do you want?" An Yan asked, frowning.
Gu Shifang glanced at her smugly. "Li Tianyao knows! The real question is whether he’s willing to save you! After all, if he gives me what I want, he won’t die! But if he refuses, you will!"
An Yan pulled back the corners of her mouth, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Whether I live or die, what does that have to do with Li Tianyao? You’re using me to threaten him? Are you out of your mind!"
