Chapter 18 - The Temptation of a Banquet
The roadster turned out of an expressway and arrived in Hanzhou's county-level city. It's located between the prime locations of Hanzhou and Huainan Providence. Su Tao glimpsed at the rearview mirror and saw that there were several Volkswagen Pa.s.sat closely following behind the red roadster. They had to be Yan Jing's underlings.
This was a banquet set up with the aim of murdering the guest.
With Su Tao's character, he would definitely not be fooled by Yan Jing's appearance to follow her after some flowery words.
Yan Jing had come prepared. If she couldn't invite Su Tao with her, her underlings would definitely cause trouble at the doors of Jianghuai Hospital, which would definitely affect Su Tao.
She acted well with a close att.i.tude and flirtatious words. But deep in her bones, she was vicious and ruthless. Su Tao could sense that if he didn't follow her, G.o.d-knows what she might have done.
The roadster exited the freeway ramp, heading towards the west. However, it wasn't heading towards the urban area, but a village. After driving around for ten-odd minutes, it arrived in an abandoned building. Su Tao followed Yan Jing in and saw two Tibetan Mastiffs barking with their saliva dripping on the floor.
Yan Jing walked over and placed her hand on one of the Mastiffs, before she slapped it. "Foolish dog, don't you even recognize your mother?"
The Mastiff whimpered before it obediently laid down on the floor and stretched its paws, then it scratched in excitement.
"Had it for three years now, but I'm intending on selling it off. A confined Mastiff doesn't have any ferocity, it can only be used to scare ordinary people." Yan Jing glanced at Su Tao and saw how calm he remained; she knew that he must have been used to big scenes.
Su Tao followed Yan Jing to the second floor. In contrast to the outside, this place was quite well renovated with a soft carpet on the ground. It was so soft that his feet could sink into the carpet. The walls were decorated with oil paintings, the roof hung a chandelier and a liquor cabinet was behind the office table.
Yan Jing spun and smiled. "What do you think of my office?"
Su Tao nodded his head. "It's layering, just like you."
Yan Jing burst into laughter. "Boy, you're amusing."
But inwardly, Su Tao corrected her words. My mouth not only knows how to amuse people but also eats others.
Yan Jing entered a chamber and she changed clothes while making a call before raising her head to Su Tao. "Come, I'll have you take a look at my bed."
Su Tao was left stunned before he helplessly shook his head. He followed Yan Jing into an open lift, similar to the ones in the past, and saw a s.p.a.cious bed. A middle-aged man with a wrinkled face laid on the bed.
An azure-clothed old man stood beside him, holding onto silver needles and carefully place them into the acupoints of that man.
The middle-aged man did not have any reaction from the treatment; his eyes remained cold. The old man sighed before he turned around to Yan Jing and bitterly smiled while shaking his head. "There's nothing I can do about this!"
Yan Jing annoyingly waved her hand. "You can get lost now."
"What about my granddaughter?" The old man pursued.
Yan Jing sneered, "Relax, I will send her back after a month."
The old man looked at Yan Jing with a complicated gaze before he was escorted out by bodyguards.
Yan Jing swept a glance at Su Tao and her face immediately changed with a bewitching smile hanging on the corner of her lips. "Even Sichuan's Divine Physician, Qiao Shouchun, is only this capable. Looks like you have to be the one to do it, since you're the one who put him in this condition, so you must have a method to save him."
