Chapter 572: Chapter 571: Kill with One Strike

At nearly 4:00 in the afternoon, Yan Feifan received a transfer of 1.42 million from Zeng Ni.

He learned from Zeng Ni’s phone call that the money for the imperial green bracelet had been fronted by the second-largest shareholder of Yu Yuan Workshop—the workshop’s original owner.

This person also stated that Feng Shuxin had used threats and strong-arm tactics to seize control of Yu Yuan Workshop.

Taking advantage of Feng Shuxin’s arrest, he had already filed a police report and submitted the relevant evidence, hoping to reclaim Yu Yuan Workshop and reopen it as quickly as possible.

After work that evening, Yan Feifan and Wang Chuan went to the neurosurgery lab together to undergo an audio hypnosis test administered by Dr. Qiu Ge.

After nearly an hour of testing, the results showed that Yan Feifan’s optimal hypnosis frequency was 20,265 hertz, while Wang Chuan’s was 20,275 hertz.

The three of them then conferred and decided to begin large-scale testing on more subjects. They hoped to uncover some patterns from the resulting big data.

Yan Feifan magnanimously told Dr. Qiu that money was no object.

The Extraordinary Fund would soon have fifty million in capital, so they should acquire whatever equipment, instruments, and personnel were needed for the research and experiments.

At 7:30 PM, Yan Feifan and Wang Chuan left the neurosurgery department and headed back to Zuimo Court together in a Cayenne.

Partway there, however, Wang Chuan suddenly had Feng Jian pull over.

Seeing Wang Chuan walk toward a fruit stand on the side of the road, Yan Feifan said, "Director, we have plenty of fruit at home. There’s no need to buy more."

Wang Chuan insisted, "I can’t show up at your house empty-handed and freeload. I’ll just go buy something."

Yan Feifan thought about it. ’That’s true, I guess.’

Previously, whenever Wang Chuan came for dinner, he’d bring a bottle of red wine, fruit, or snacks. Sometimes he even brought expensive seafood. He truly never arrived empty-handed.

’I’m a bit lacking in that department,’ he thought. ’I usually show up empty-handed when I’m a guest at someone else’s house.’

He then remembered that he rarely visited other people’s homes anyway.

"Director, just get a watermelon or something," Yan Feifan suggested.

After making the suggestion, Yan Feifan waited by the car for a moment, only to see Wang Chuan emerge from the fruit stand carrying a large durian that must have weighed ten or twenty pounds.

"Director, why did you buy one of these? I can’t stand the foul smell of durian."

Wang Chuan chuckled. "The other fruit in the shop didn’t look very fresh. The durian was the only thing that still looked good."

"If you don’t like the smell, just put up with it. Your sister and Yu Suye love it, don’t they?"

"As a doctor, what foul odor haven’t you smelled before?"

Yan Feifan couldn’t help but correct him. "Director, I’m a surgeon, not a forensic pathologist."

But since the durian was already bought, it would be awkward to ask Wang Chuan to take it back. Yan Feifan had no choice but to pinch his nose and endure it.

When he got back to his apartment at Zuimo Court, Yan Feifan found that his sister and Su Ye had already prepared dinner.

Du Qiu was still on leave and wouldn’t be back to work until the day after tomorrow, so the meal had been delivered from Lotus Fragrance Restaurant on University Road.

Yan Ziruo was delighted with the durian Wang Chuan brought, lamenting that she hadn’t eaten it in a long time to accommodate Feifan’s preferences.

This made Yan Feifan roll his eyes. He couldn’t be bothered to expose his sister’s blatant lie; she had clearly eaten some in June.

After Yan Ziruo showed off her jadeite ring to Wang Chuan, the group sat down in the dining room to eat.

As they ate, Wang Chuan listened to Yan Ziruo vividly describe Yan Feifan’s adventure in Jingcheng the previous Saturday.

After hearing the whole story, Wang Chuan said with some concern, "Feifan, I think you might have overreacted."

"It wasn’t a big deal to begin with. I doubt that man would have ever dared to actually do anything to you. But you came down hard and were relentless, all because of some threatening words from his underling."

"Now you’ve made a real enemy."

Wang Chuan sighed softly. "I’m just worried you didn’t finish him off for good."

At these words, Yan Ziruo and Yu Suye couldn’t help but look worried too.

But Yan Feifan just snorted. "So what if I didn’t? You think he’d dare retaliate? I’m under special military protection now."

As he said this, he glanced at Duan Yu, who was sitting beside him with his head down, eating his food.

Duan Yu sensed his gaze and looked up. "That blow finished him completely. You don’t need to worry about that man anymore."

Meeting their concerned gazes, Duan Yu elaborated, "This afternoon, I got word from Jingcheng..."

"One of Feng Shuxin’s key subordinates turned him in, revealing that Feng Shuxin was the true mastermind behind a vicious felony case from ten years ago."

"The man also implicated Feng Shuxin in other illegal affairs."

"If these accusations are verified, he’s very likely facing the death penalty. At the very least, he’ll get two or three life sentences."

This news immediately perked Yan Feifan up.

"Director, it seems my ’overreaction’ was useful after all."

"You can judge a leopard by its spots. If his underlings are that brazen, Feng Shuxin himself must be completely unscrupulous in his daily affairs."

"My decisive action was the right call. I suppose you could say I did the people of Jingcheng a favor by digging out a very well-hidden cancer."

Yan Feifan added with a hint of smugness, "It’s as they say: the arm of the law is long. It’s not that retribution won’t come, it’s just a matter of time."

"And I was merely an instrument of fate."

Wang Chuan couldn’t help but smile. "Feifan, you just got lucky, running into someone with major crimes in his past."

"Besides, his cronies saw that the investigation was digging deep, and someone cracked under the pressure, hoping to earn leniency by reporting him."

"But if you’d picked a fight with someone who only had minor misdeeds to their name and no major crimes, you’d have truly made a lasting enemy."

Yan Feifan said nonchalantly, "If I make an enemy, I make an enemy. It’s not like I’m afraid of him, am I?"

"Besides, I didn’t start it, he did. I never go looking for trouble."

"But I’m not afraid of it, either."

Yan Ziruo scoffed, calling his bluff. "Feifan, when you were little, didn’t you run away as fast as your legs could carry you the moment a bully so much as looked at you funny?"

"Now that you’re so capable, you’ve become so confident. You do things without holding back at all."

"Like last time with those four youths, you single-handedly took them all down without a second thought..."

As she spoke, Yan Ziruo realized that her younger brother’s way of handling things had become somewhat dangerous.

Her tone grew serious.

"Yan Feifan, you’ve risen so quickly these past few months, and you’ve become more and more audacious. Has it gone to your head? Are you losing sight of yourself?"

"Feifan, you have to understand..."

Just then, Wang Chuan interrupted. "Ziruo, don’t be so hard on him. Feifan has a point, actually. It’s always others who provoke him first."

"Given Feifan’s current status, he’s earned the right to have a bit of a temper."

"A famous doctor can’t be a pushover!"

Yan Ziruo couldn’t help but laugh. "Director, a moment ago you were scolding him, and now you’re defending him. Why do you keep flip-flopping?"

Wang Chuan chuckled. "Did I?"

After a pause, he added wistfully, "Feifan has grown up so quickly, right under my nose."

"Now he’s more skilled and famous than I am. I’m not even sure how to act around him anymore."

Yan Feifan said with a sincere expression, "Director, I’ve always regarded you as a teacher and an elder."

"You should always say what’s on your mind and criticize me when I deserve it. If I’m in the wrong, I’ll correct it. If not, I’ll take your words as encouragement."

Wang Chuan laughed. "Doesn’t that just mean you’ll listen to what you want to hear and ignore what you don’t?"

"That’s not..."

Just as Yan Feifan was about to defend himself, he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of his phone.

The call was from the vice dean of Binhai University Medical College.

On the phone, the man invited him to give a speech that Saturday evening to the new medical students who were undergoing their military training...
