The Rejected Heiress's Possesive Tycoon Husband-Chapter 18 This is more like it

The Dean met her gaze coldly.

"Dr. Sun, when I recruited you, I believed you were a specialist of good character and skilled expertise. But today, you first denied your diagnostic error, and then you incited the patient’s family to cause a disturbance in the operating room! Someone like you, who disregards patient safety and prioritizes only your own career, is unfit to be a doctor! I will report this matter fully to the Medical Association. I hope you have other means of earning a living!"

Sun Li panicked.

"No, Dean, I was wrong! I’ll never do it again! Please, give me another chance, Dean!"

If the Medical Association found out, her medical license would be revoked!

The Dean’s face remained stern.

"Giving you a chance would be irresponsible towards the patients. Security, take her away."

Having said that, the Dean turned and bowed respectfully.

"Ninth Master, are you satisfied with how this was handled?"

Li Tianyao looked at An Yan.

An Yan performed another divination. Sun Li’s reading was still the Death Hexagram!

"Wait." An Yan spoke up. "I can save your career, but you have to agree to one condition."

Li Tianyao frowned.

"Such misplaced compassion is a liability."

An Yan said, "It’s not about misplaced compassion. I just feel that such an error isn’t severe enough to cost someone their entire career."

Li Tianyao was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Alright!"

Hope flashed in Sun Li’s eyes. "What condition?"

"Let me slap you a few times!"

Sun Li closed her eyes. "Okay, go ahead!"

Just a few slaps. She could endure it. As long as she could still practice medicine, she could just move to another city, another hospital.

An Yan flexed her fingers.

SLAP!

Sun Li’s face turned to one side, and she spat out three teeth.

Meanwhile, in An Yan’s mind, another Yezi materialized on the branch representing the Divination Technique, though its outline was faint. Even so, she felt her abilities had improved.

An Yan, inwardly pleased, swung her hand for another slap. Then she discovered that, just as with Lin Shang, this slap had no effect.

It seemed one could only ’harvest’ from a scoundrel once!

An Yan withdrew her hand.

"Alright. You can go now."

Sun Li, with a swollen face, left quickly. An Yan performed another divination; the result was still the Death Hexagram!

Could the Divination Technique actually be inaccurate?

Sun Li left quickly, afraid that if she stayed any longer, these people might change their minds. Just as she reached the elevator, she saw a tall, burly man in a black suit with a fierce expression emerge, dragging a young man whose face was swollen like a steamed bun. The young man looked like the son of a business partner who had given her a red envelope bribe.

His name seemed to be Lin Shang!

Almost subconsciously, Sun Li quickened her pace and hurried into another elevator.

She was terrified Lin Shang would reveal that she had accepted the bribe.

「Behind her.」

Li Han forced Lin Shang to his knees.

"Ninth Master, this person orchestrated everything that happened today!"

An Yan understood almost instantly.

"Just because I refused to reconcile with you, you plotted to have someone else kill me?"

"No, I didn’t want to kill you! I never, ever thought of killing you!" At that moment, Lin Shang bore no resemblance to a wealthy young master. He was kneeling on the ground, sobbing and begging, "I’m sorry, An Yan, I’m so sorry! I was wrong! I’ll never dare to do it again!"

"How did you manage it?" An Yan asked, somewhat curious. Tan Yanzhe didn’t seem like someone Lin Shang could manipulate.

Li Han kicked Lin Shang in the lower back.

"Confess your scheme!"

"Alright, alright, I’ll confess." In front of Li Han, Lin Shang didn’t dare to harbor the slightest thought of resistance.

If he hadn’t experienced it himself, he would never have believed it. There truly was a method in this world that could make a person, while fully conscious, endure the agony of every bone in their body being crushed—a pain so intense that every cell seemed to tremble. Pain so excruciating that unconsciousness would be a mercy.

He was truly terrified!

Lin Shang recounted his scheme. He explained how he discovered Tan Wu’s medical condition and bribed Tan Wu’s driver to ram An Yan’s car. He further detailed his plot for Sun Li to be the attending doctor, planning to wait until Tan Yanzhe killed An Yan... No, he quickly corrected himself, not daring to admit his true aim was An Yan’s death. He altered his story, claiming he intended to wait until An Yan was in a desperate situation so he could swoop in as the hero and save the damsel in distress.

An Yan listened, her expression one of surprise.

"I only thought you were a good actor. I never imagined you were also skilled in plotting, managing every detail with such finesse. Too bad for you, you ran into my fiancé!"

A soft chuckle escaped Li Tianyao’s throat; he rather enjoyed the feeling of the young woman’s admiration.

Lin Shang was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood!

An Yan frowned.

"Lin Shang, your body can’t handle anger. It’s easy to relapse into your previous condition, don’t you know? Crucially, if you relapse this time, no one will be there to treat you. Can’t you control yourself even a little?"

Lin Shang: "..."

Was it that he didn’t want to control himself? Couldn’t An Yan see how severe his internal injuries were now? In the past, if he felt even the slightest discomfort, An Yan would do everything possible to alleviate it. But now, she... And this all started because he wanted the Lin Family to climb the social ladder by associating with the Bai Family! Who would have thought the An Family was on par with the Bai Family! What on earth had he done!

The more he thought, the more he regretted, and he couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

An Yan frowned again.

"Lin Shang, you’re really going too far. You don’t pay the hospital cleaners’ salaries, so what right do you have to create more work for them?"

Lin Shang: "..."

In her eyes, was he now worth less than a cleaner?

A wave of fury and blood surged through him. He fainted.

An Yan took out a needle and pricked him awake.

"Lin Shang, even though our engagement is off, you can’t go around tarnishing my reputation, can you? Fainting at the slightest provocation. If others saw this, they might think I hadn’t treated you properly before. But that won’t happen anymore. With this one needle, no matter how provoked you are in the future, you’ll remain perfectly clear-headed! No need to thank me. We’ve known each other for a while, after all. Consider it my parting gift to you!"

"You..." Lin Shang’s face turned ashen with rage, but with the silver needle embedded in him, he couldn’t faint no matter how furious he became. In that moment, he suddenly felt that An Yan and Li Tianyao were two of a kind.

Both ruthless and domineering!

"Alright, now you can be handed over to the police station!"

As soon as An Yan finished speaking, Tan Yanzhe quickly interjected, "Professor An, could you hand him over to me?" He had been suppressing his anger so much his stomach almost ached. He had already dispatched someone to find that driver. They were to confirm the driver had accepted Lin Shang’s bribe. He had thought his father was fated to suffer this calamity, never imagining it was man-made! How could he tolerate this? Some things are indeed difficult to deal with in a public setting like a hospital.

An Yan turned to Li Tianyao; after all, he was the one who had captured Lin Shang.

Li Tianyao waved his hand, and Li Han pushed Lin Shang towards Tan Yanzhe’s men.

Just as they were about to leave, An Yan spoke again.

"Wait."

Tan Yanzhe immediately stopped.

"Does Professor An have any further instructions? Please, tell me."

An Yan looked at him.

"Because of your actions just now, a surgery that was nearly complete was delayed by more than half an hour. More importantly, because of you, all the doctors and nurses in the entire surgical area were adversely affected. Therefore, this gentleman will need to compensate everyone for their emotional distress. It doesn’t need to be too much. One hundred thousand per person should suffice."

Did he think he could get off lightly after nearly harming her in the operating room? Impossible.

A slight smile touched Li Tianyao’s lips.

This felt more like it. Simply slapping that doctor twice earlier was far too lenient. He had no idea what the young woman was thinking at that moment!

The doctors and nurses behind An Yan all wore expressions of utter shock.
