She gave Cen Shen a look, and he immediately understood. He was about to drag Jiang Song straight to the police station when Duan Zimo called out to stop them. "Wait! The Dr. Li who was supposed to perform the life - saving tumor surgery on my father has been taken away by him!"
"Stop."
Cen Shen halted in his tracks, still holding Jiang Song tightly.
Zhu Ning asked, "Where is Dr. Li?"
Jiang Song, with blood foaming from his mouth and his vision blurred from the beating, still stubbornly insisted that he didn't know and had no idea who this Dr. Li they were talking about was.
Duan Zimo strode forward and grabbed Jiang Song by the collar. "Jiang Song, do you know how many years you'll get for kidnapping?"
He was truly desperate. But his outburst only made Jiang Song even more reluctant to admit.
Jiang Song retorted, "I don't know what you're talking about, Young Master Duan. Who is this Dr. Li? Why would I kidnap him?"
"You're still pretending to be stupid!"
Duan Zimo tightened his grip on Jiang Song's collar. "My family never announced that we'd invited Dr. Li for the surgery. But you knew it right away. As soon as you threatened me, Dr. Li was taken away. Who else could it be but you?"
Jiang Song was seething with frustration. But seeing Duan Zimo on the verge of a breakdown over his father, he deliberately goaded, "I don't understand what you mean, Young Master Duan. I don't have a crazy father at home. Why would I have Dr. Li taken away?"
A malicious smile spread across his bruised and swollen face. "I told you, Young Master Duan, it's not good to just pin the blame on others."
"Jiang Song!"
Duan Zimo was furious and raised his hand to strike. But Zhu Ning snapped, "Duan Zimo!"
He looked over at her with red - rimmed eyes.
Zhu Ning walked towards him with a cold expression. Despite her average height, she exuded an overwhelming aura. She reached out and gently lowered his hand, then said coldly:
"Jiang Song."
"I'll give you one more chance."
"Where is Dr. Li?"
Jiang Song dared to provoke Duan Zimo but was intimidated by Zhu Ning. All the information about this mysterious Miss Zhu was too terrifying for him. He didn't dare to offend her. But...
He stole a nervous glance at Wen Zhongping behind Zhu Ning. If he admitted, would Wen Zhongping spare his life? He mustn't admit!
"I... I don't know!"
Duan Zimo gritted his teeth so hard that they made a clicking sound. The anger in his eyes was about to consume him. His father was lying in the hospital, waiting for the surgery, but the culprit refused to reveal the whereabouts of the life - saving doctor! His veins bulged, and he was on the verge of a complete breakdown. If it weren't for Zhu Ning holding him back, he really would have killed someone!
Zhu Ning's eyes turned completely cold. "Fine."
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Elder Wen!"
Wen Zhongping stepped forward. "Miss."
Just this simple address made Jiang Song suck in a breath of cold air.
What did he call her? Miss?
Wasn't he just a one - time lawyer hired by her?
Jiang Song didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Zhu Ning asked coldly, "Elder Wen, you're highly respected and well - connected. Do you know any tumor doctors who can come to the rescue?"
Duan Zimo turned his head suddenly, his eyes full of hope.
Wen Zhongping thought for a moment, then asked for more details about Duan Zimo's father's condition. After that, he smiled.
"There actually is one."
"Did you invite Dr. Li Quanzhen, the deputy director of the Tumor Hospital of the Kyoto Medical Academy, Young Master Duan?"
Duan Zimo's breathing quickened involuntarily. "Yes, that's Dr. Li Quanzhen."
Wen Zhongping smiled. "Well, it's a good thing. I'm quite familiar with Professor Li's mentor, Academician Cheng. I'm sure if I go and ask, the old man will give me some face."
"Elder Wen, where is Academician Cheng now?"
"Don't be nervous, son. Academician Cheng isn't far from us. He retired to Haicheng a few years ago. If we go to pick him up now, he'll be here soon to perform the surgery on your father."
After saying that, the old man immediately made a phone call.
The tears that Duan Zimo had been holding back welled up instantly. "Thank you, Elder Wen. Thank you, Miss Zhu. No, thank you, Miss!"
If Miss hadn't spoken up, Elder Wen might not have helped. He knew exactly who he owed this favor to!
Seeing that he had suddenly lost his usefulness, Jiang Song panicked.
Cheng Minqiu, Academician Cheng?!
He was a renowned figure in national surgical medicine, who had created the "Minqiu Surgical Technique" that had helped countless tumor patients remove tumors from dangerous areas and saved over a million lives. He was a legend who was written into textbooks while still alive.
People often said that Li Quanzhen was at the peak of his field. But what they didn't know was that there was an even higher realm above.
A chill ran through Jiang Song's body like an electric shock.
The poor were afraid of the rich, and the rich were afraid of those with connections. And this young girl in front of him...
She was both rich and well - connected!
What was her relationship with Wen Zhongping? A single word from her could make Wen Zhongping invite an academician - level doctor!
Who on earth was she?
Jiang Song was extremely shocked, but Zhu Ning didn't have the time to care about his panic.
Wen Zhongping said, "Miss, although the surgery issue is resolved, my friend's disciple..."
Duan Zimo chimed in, "Yes, Miss. Professor Li was innocently involved in this mess."
Just thinking that the doctor was involved because of him and was now missing made Duan Zimo feel extremely guilty!
[Ding! The system detects that the host is facing obstacles in claiming the reward. The reimbursement reward is now activated. All expenses incurred in resolving the current dilemma will be reimbursed by the system. Please actively handle the current crisis!]
It came just in time!
A glint of light flashed in Zhu Ning's eyes. She was going to handle this matter even without their reminders. Now, with the help of the system, she was even more confident!
"Don't worry. I'll take care of Dr. Li."
After saying that, she directly ordered, "Cen Shen."
"Yes!"
"Jiang Song is useless. Take him to the police station."
Realizing what was happening, Jiang Song struggled to get up. "I'm useful! I'm useful!"
Zhu Ning sneered. "No, you're not."
"Take him away!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Song continued to struggle, but Zhu Ning completely ignored him as if he were air.
Red - eyed and gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Miss Zhu, Haicheng is a big place! Are you sure you can find him on your own?"
Come on. If it were that easy to find a missing person, there would be no human traffickers in the world!
Zhu Ning twirled her long hair with her fingers. "What, does President Jiang want to make a bet with me or just watch me make a fool of myself?"
President Jiang didn't dare to say a word.
Zhu Ning scoffed. "I guess you want to watch me make a fool of myself."
"Cen Shen."
The man simply threw Jiang Song to the ground. Jiang Song landed awkwardly, his face hitting the ground, and he let out a painful cry.
Zhu Ning said, "If you want to watch me, then open your eyes wide and watch carefully."
"Today, I'll show you that there's always someone better and something greater out there!"
Jiang Song stared at her in disbelief.
Duan Zimo said worriedly, "Miss, that old bastard Jiang Song is right. Haicheng is a big place. Where and how are you going to find Dr. Li in this vast sea of people?"
"All I need is one thing to solve this problem."
One thing?
What thing could have such magic?
Everyone looked at her in confusion.
The next second, a black bank card appeared between the young girl's two fingers. The card reflected the confident and in - control look in her eyes.
A smile played on her red lips as she uttered the well - known answer.
"Money."
