Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Liu Jinnian stared at the two people's faces, trying to see a look of jealousy on their faces.

After all, Dr. X's name in the medical field is enough to make any medical student's heart race.

However, the two people's reactions greatly disappointed him.

Qin Shi merely raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, and his gaze fell upon Yan Lan.

Yan Lan's face showed a hint of speechlessness, and her gaze towards Liu Jinnian became very subtle.

Are you sure Dr. X will agree to cooperate with you?

Yan Lan paused, her voice steady but with a hint of barely perceptible teasing, "If I remember correctly, she only invited Senior Sister Sun to have dinner here, right?"

A pang of guilt swept through Yan Lan's heart. Over the years, she had deliberately concealed her identity as Dr. X from Senior Sister Sun.

But then she realized that the time she had agreed upon with Senior Sister Sun had passed, and Senior Sister Sun had not yet shown up. She was always punctual; could something have happened to her?

However, Liu Jinnian completely failed to notice the unusual tone in Yan Lan's voice, and even less did he notice Qin Shi's intriguing expression.

He puffed out his chest slightly, his smugness almost overflowing.

"of course it's true!"

He glanced at Yan Lan, as if he had confirmed her thoughts, "We are both medical students, and we both have an almost god-like worship of Dr. X. I know you must also want to meet him, right?"

He didn't notice at all that the two people opposite him exchanged a glance. Qin Shi couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, while Yan Lan sighed softly.

Qin Shi understood Yan Lan's worries and turned to leave.

"Yan Lan, you and Qin Shi should get a divorce as soon as possible!"

As Liu Jinnian watched Qin Shi's hurried departure, his eyes gleamed with even greater smugness.

"Qin Shi is a complete scoundrel. He keeps saying he doesn't want to divorce you, but he's still entangled with Bai Xiaoyu outside."

They also have a son!

You'll only suffer if you stay with him, and what about your son...?

At this moment, Liu Jinnian was filled with the ecstasy of seeing Dr. X and did not think deeply about the reason for Qin Shi's sudden departure.

If they can persuade Dr. X to cooperate with the Qin family, the company's stock price will definitely turn around, and his assets will also increase accordingly.

If they could also take this opportunity to win back Yan Lan and gain the support of the governor, it would be killing three birds with one stone.

"Lanlan! Don't believe his nonsense!"

A sharp shout suddenly shattered the restaurant's tranquility. Senior Sister Sun rushed in, panting, her face still showing signs of shock.

Just as Qin Shi walked out of the restaurant, he quickly found Senior Sister Sun who had been tied up. He dealt with the "Prison Network" henchmen in a few moves, and she was able to escape.

As she spoke, Senior Sister Sun looked around anxiously: "He kidnapped me to threaten Dr. X into cooperating with him! Where's Teacher? He's not here, is he? Don't fall for his tricks!"

Liu Jinnian's face instantly darkened, and he cursed inwardly for Bai Lin's people's incompetence in letting Senior Sister Sun get away!

"Senior Sister Sun, don't worry, Dr. X won't cooperate with him."

Yan Lan looked at Senior Sister Sun's disheveled appearance, and when she turned to Liu Jinnian, her eyes were filled with coldness.

She had thought that even if Liu Jinnian was extremely pragmatic, he would at least still retain a shred of his former conscience. But now it seemed that he was no different from Si Chu.

Yan Lan looked at him, her voice cold: "Because I am Dr. X."

"impossible!"

Liu Jinnian's face flushed red as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "Dr. X's medical expertise is unparalleled in the industry, and you are nothing but..."

"You're just a college graduate, right?" Yan Lan interrupted him, her lips curled in endless sarcasm. "Liu Jinnian, all these years, you've never truly understood me."

Her gaze swept over the astonished faces of the crowd, and she said in a deep voice, "Education has never represented everything."

I failed my college entrance exam because I encountered the dean's car accident on the way, and my eagerness to save him delayed my exam.

Besides, I didn't care about the college entrance exam at all. I had already completed my master's and doctoral studies during high school. The only reason I stayed by your side to study was because I wanted to be with you.

She paused, looked at Liu Jinnian's suddenly pale face, and added, "And that paper you sent to Dr. X before, I helped you revise it from beginning to end."

Liu Jinnian was struck dumb, standing frozen in place. Countless images flashed through his mind.

Yan Lan handled all the emails sent to Dr. X back then.

The PhD not only patiently revised the paper, but also helped him publish it successfully.

If they were not close relatives or trusted confidants, who would go to such lengths to help?

The details and past that he had overlooked were now overwhelming him like a tidal wave.

The idol he had always revered as a god turned out to be the woman he had personally abandoned.

They met when they were both struggling, and walked hand in hand into university. They should have gotten married, but he was too eager to make things happen and pushed her away...

Liu Jinnian's throat bobbed violently, his eyes bloodshot, like a wild beast trapped in a desperate situation. Finally, he let out a heart-wrenching roar: "No—!"

The sharp sound of police sirens shattered the silence of the room as police cars pulled up at the door.

When Qin Shi rescued Senior Sister Sun, he had already called the police. Liu Jinnian and Bai Lin were suspected of kidnapping and would be arrested according to law.

Liu Jinnian's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with resentment. He stared at Yan Lan and then glanced at everyone present.

Realizing that all was lost, he turned and ran towards the nearby emergency exit.

With a loud bang, he slammed the fire door of the emergency exit.

Upon seeing this, the agents who had just entered immediately took off after them, their footsteps echoing rapidly down the corridor.

Qin Shi stood still and said in a deep voice, "Ignore him, he has nowhere else to go."

Police had already laid a trap based on clues, retrieved all the surrounding surveillance footage, investigated the residences of his relatives and friends who might be hiding, and even entered his information into the national fugitive system.

His escape was nothing more than a desperate struggle, and he would ultimately not escape the punishment of the law.

Yan Lan's feelings were complicated. She sighed and turned to look at Senior Sister Sun, who was still somewhat shaken.

Yan Lan comforted her, "Senior sister, it's alright, it's all over."

Senior Sister Sun's face was still very pale, but when she heard Yan Lan say "It's all over," she suddenly raised her head and looked at Yan Lan with a complex expression that included lingering fear, relief, and an unconcealable mix of laughter and tears.

She stared at Yan Lan for a long while, then suddenly reached out and punched her shoulder with a hint of annoyance: "You brat! You kept everyone in the dark, you're Dr. X!"

As she spoke, she shook her head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile: "Oh dear, now the generations are all messed up! I've been addressing her respectfully as 'teacher' all the time, and only now do I realize she's actually my junior sister! You're really something!"

The tense atmosphere was largely dispelled by her punch, and even Qin Shi, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but smile.

Yan Lan's head tilted slightly from the punch. She apologized repeatedly, her tone tinged with remorse: "I was afraid of scaring you. Besides, if I told you my identity, would you be willing to be my student? As for seniority, you are my mother's disciple. I wouldn't dare to compete with my mother for a disciple, or she'd be turning in her grave!"

Yan Lan smiled and took Senior Sister Sun's hand, her eyes full of laughter, "From now on, I'll still obediently call you Senior Sister."

The two little ones standing to the side were beaming with joy. Their parents hadn't divorced and had even gotten rid of the bad guys—this was fantastic news!

Xiaoxi rubbed her round little belly and whined, "Mommy, I'm starving! When are we going to have lunch?"

"Eat! Eat now!" Yan Lan patted her daughter's head tenderly and turned to order food.

Qin Shi quickly stepped forward, his tone carrying a barely perceptible tenderness: "I've already ordered the dishes; they're all your and the children's favorites."

"What business is it of yours if we're just having a family meal?"

Yan Lan was annoyed when she saw Qin Shi's face pressed close to hers.

"That bastard Qin Shi actually tricked me with a fake divorce!"

Yan Lan cursed inwardly.

While Liu Jinnian is certainly not a good person, what he just mentioned—the ambiguous entanglement between Qin Shi and Bai Xiaoyu—is the truth.

She looked up at Qin Shi, who was comforting the two little ones not far away, and her eyes turned cold.

Regardless of his initial intentions in faking the divorce, and regardless of how sincere he was towards her, she could never let go of the ambiguous entanglement between Qin Shi and Bai Xiaoyu.

Yan Lan took a deep breath, her mind made up: she would never forgive him easily!
