Chapter 445: Chapter 445: This Symposium is Very Important

"That An Zhiqian is a vicious, backstabbing coward. He’s probably involved in this." Su Qing recalled meeting An Zhiqian at the An Family’s old residence. That was when she’d officially burned her bridges with him.

An Zhiqian blamed Su Qing for An Zhiwei’s imprisonment and naturally held a grudge. If he found out she was helping An Zhihan find medicine, he would hate her even more. After all, An Lizheng and An Likang had teamed up to harm An Zhihan’s family back then. They were practically sworn enemies.

"So, I was thinking you should be careful for a while. The An Family might come after you too." Mr. Gong was worried about Su Qing’s safety.

Su Qing smiled. "Mr. Gong, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m pretty good at taking care of myself. Besides, you’ve already reported this to the police. It’s a vicious assault, so the police will definitely investigate it thoroughly. They probably won’t make any rash moves for a while."

An Zhihan said to Su Qing guiltily, "Su Qing, I’m afraid this has dragged you into it. I’m sorry."

Su Qing waved her hand. "Even without this incident, I already had a feud with the An Family. Never mind An Zhiwei hiring people to kidnap Beilin; after we clashed, she secretly sent people to follow me and try to kill me. Even if the incident with Beilin hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have let her off. She got off easy just by going to prison."

If it hadn’t been for what happened to Cheng Beilin, Su Qing would have found the time to deal with An Zhiwei sooner or later anyway.

"What!" Mr. Gong and An Zhihan were both shocked. "An Zhiwei actually sent people to kill you? When?"

"It was a long time ago. Besides, with An Zhiwei in prison, I’ve already gotten my revenge." ’Of course, she wasn’t about to tell them she’d left those men who followed her into the mountains there for good. In their eyes, she had some Combat Power and dared to venture into the mountains alone, but none of them would ever guess she also dared to kill!’

"If you ever run into something like this again, you must report it to the police. You’re a young woman; don’t ever confront those people head-on." Mr. Gong could see Su Qing didn’t want to talk about it, so he just gave her some earnest advice.

Su Qing nodded. "You guys don’t worry about me. The most important thing for you right now is to focus on recovering. You can figure out the rest later."

As she spoke, Su Qing secretly sent some of her green mist into the bodies of An Zhihan and the others, helping their wounds heal faster.

Mr. Gong, feeling he had recovered, said, "Speaking of which, I feel perfectly fine now."

"No, Grand-uncle," An Zhihan said at once. "You hit your head. No matter what, even if you feel fine, you need to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation."

An Zhihan was worried. Although Mr. Gong hadn’t bled when he hit his head, his condition at the time had been terrible. Even though he seemed fine now that he was awake, An Zhihan still felt he should stay in the hospital for observation.

Mr. Gong felt the spot on the back of his head where he’d been hit. There was only a slight bump, and it didn’t hurt at all. He said, "I was probably just scared at the time. The doctor already said there’s nothing wrong. Besides, I’m a doctor myself. You think I don’t know my own condition?"

Mr. Gong had just taken his own pulse. There was nothing wrong with his body at all. In fact, he didn’t know if he was just imagining it, but the minor ailments he used to have seemed to be gone. It was safe to say he was in even better shape than before.

"Mr. Gong, you can’t be careless about this," Fang Lutian also advised.

Mr. Gong frowned. "I have a conference to attend the day after tomorrow. It’s very important."

Attending this conference was one of the reasons Mr. Gong had come to Beijing in the first place. He just hadn’t expected to be attacked on the way and end up in the hospital.

"Mr. Gong, your health is more important. You should skip the conference," Fang Lutian said quickly. "You just injured your head. What if something happens?"

"That’s right, Grand-uncle. Your health is more important," An Zhihan chimed in.

Mr. Gong waved his hand dismissively. "No. I can stay in the hospital, but I must go to this conference. Zhi Han, go talk to the doctor. Tell him I need to leave the hospital for a while on the evening of the day after tomorrow to attend it."

"Grand-uncle, you..."

"Don’t try to talk me out of it. I’m definitely going to that conference." Mr. Gong’s tone was resolute.

Seeing this, Su Qing said, "How about this: when you talk to the doctor, tell them I can go with Mr. Gong to the conference. That way, I can look after him."

’Su Qing, of course, knew Mr. Gong’s condition perfectly well. There was absolutely nothing wrong with him anymore.’

An Zhihan was about to protest again, but seeing how insistent Mr. Gong was, he could only say, "Even if you insist, the doctor will never agree."

As expected, when the doctor heard that Mr. Gong wanted to leave the hospital for a while in two days to attend a conference, he immediately objected. "Absolutely not. You’ve had a head injury. What if something happens while you’re away from the hospital? I cannot approve this."

Although the doctor was firmly against it, he couldn’t win against Mr. Gong’s stubbornness. In the end, the doctor said helplessly, "Alright, how about this: we’ll give you a full check-up the day after tomorrow. If everything looks fine, you’ll need to sign a liability waiver, and then you can leave the hospital for a short time."

Mr. Gong knew he was making things difficult, but the conference was too important. He didn’t want to put the doctor in a tough spot, so he said, "Fine, it’s settled. Don’t worry, I’m a doctor too. I know what I’m doing. If anything happens to my health while I’m out, I’ll take full responsibility."

Since Mr. Gong had put it that way, the doctor had no choice but to agree.

Even though the doctor had agreed, An Zhihan was still worried. Su Qing reassured him, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Mr. Gong."

"Exactly. With Su by my side, you have nothing to worry about." Mr. Gong settled the matter, then added, "By the way, you said three of them escaped. I wonder if they’ve returned to Xiangcheng or are still hiding somewhere near Beijing."

"Whether they went back or not, I’m sure they’ll find a way to contact their people in Xiangcheng," An Zhihan said, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Just as An Zhihan had predicted, the three men, seeing they were at a disadvantage, had fled and immediately sent a coded message back to Xiangcheng.

In the study of An Lizheng’s villa in Xiangcheng, An Likang slammed his fist on the table in frustration. "That little bastard is damn lucky to be alive."
