The Physician Tycoon

The next day, Ah Hong prepared breakfast and called Ye Kai to come eat.

Ye Kai and Yang Ziwei arrived at the restaurant on the first floor. Meng Lan was already there and waiting for Ye Kai.

Seeing Yang Ziwei and Ye Kai come in together, Menglan's expression was somewhat complicated.

Seeing Yang Ziwei's radiant appearance is especially enviable.

Ye Kai introduced both parties.

"Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Yang Ziwei. This is Menglan, who came from Shou'er. And this is Ah Hong."

Yang Ziwei, Menglan, and Ah Hong nodded in greeting, "Welcome to Kyoto."

She looked at Ah Hong, "Ah Hong, if I remember correctly, you're from northern Beijing, right?"

"Yes."

"What made you decide to go to Han Kingdom?"

"The cold wave was quite intense at that time, and I like performing. I heard that the agency, Shouer, is very good at training artists, so I went to Shouer."

"And then you were captured and taken to Bird Island?"

"Yes, I was singing in a bar when those guys targeted me. They drugged my drink, knocked me out, and sent me to Bird Island. Luckily, I ran into Miss's father, who took me to her house."

"And then Ye Kai saved you?"

"Yes, thank you so much, Mr. Ye. Otherwise, I might never have been able to come back in this lifetime."

Yang Ziwei then looked at Menglan, "Miss Menglan is from Jiangzhou."

Menglan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

Yang Ziwei smiled slightly, "There's nothing I can't find out. Your real name is Luo Menglan, and your father's name is Luo Jun. After practicing Taoism at Qingfeng Temple in Nanshan, his Taoist name is Master Tianluo."

Ten years ago, your father committed a crime and fled from Jiangzhou to Flying Bird Island in Han Kingdom, where he has lived in hiding ever since.

Menglan exclaimed excitedly, "My dad didn't do anything wrong! He was being chased by bad guys and that's why he fled to Han Kingdom!"

Yang Ziwei waved her hand, "Don't get excited, let's eat and chat."

She ate a steamed bun and drank a few sips of porridge. After Yang Ziwei calmed down, she continued,

"Miss Menglan, what I just said is what I found in the case file, that's how it's recorded."

Menglan said indignantly, "That's them distorting the facts and framing my dad!"

"That's why I need to find you to understand the situation. Can you tell me the truth as you know it?"

"Yes, of course." Menglan was lost in painful memories. "I remember my dad saying there was a heartless, no, devil, named Night Emperor."

"Night Emperor?" Yang Ziwei repeated this peculiar name.

"Yes, it's the Night Emperor. He's obsessed with killing and developed a very powerful virus that caused genetic mutations in humans, leading to a pandemic and the deaths of many people."

Why would he do that?

"He's a madman. He thinks most people in the world are worthless and that living is a waste of resources. Every ten years, he creates a pandemic to wipe out humanity."

"That's incredibly cruel. How did your father find out?"

"Once, the Night Emperor sent someone to kill a female doctor. This doctor was an expert in virus research. The Night Emperor was worried that this doctor would develop an antidote, so he wanted to kill her."

"It was a coincidence. One of my dad's old friends was hospitalized. My dad went to visit him and happened to run into the killer, who was pretending to be a patient and trying to attack the doctor."

My father killed the assassin, then took me and fled Jiangzhou, heading far away to another place.

"Do you know what happened to that doctor afterward, and where he is now?"

Menglan's voice choked with sobs, "I don't know, my father was murdered before he could explain in detail."

Yang Ziwei handed over a tissue and comforted him, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. What we need to do is find the mastermind behind this and avenge your father."

Menglan rallied, her gaze resolute. "Yes, I must avenge my father!"

"Which hospital did your dad go to?"

Menglan thought for a moment, "Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital."

Are you sure?

Menglan said definitively, "I'm sure, Dad told me that day that he went to Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital to visit a friend who was hospitalized."

Did your dad mention that friend's name? Or was he hospitalized for some illness?

"They didn't say."

"What else do you know about that female doctor?"

Menglan shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that she is a female doctor."

Yang Ziwei fell into deep thought. The female doctor from ten years ago was also an expert. Now she must be at least in her forties, or even over fifty.

A thorough screening of middle-aged and elderly female specialists at Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital should narrow down the scope.

She immediately called Lan Bing, "Bing'er, help me investigate someone."

"Who is it?"

"A middle-aged or elderly female expert at Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital, who studies viruses."

"What's your name? Which department do you work in?"

"have no idea."

"How old are you exactly?"

"have no idea."

"How can you not know anything? How am I supposed to investigate?"

"This matter is extremely important; it concerns Ye Kai's life or death!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Bing immediately tensed up, "What? This person is related to Ye Kai?"

"Yes, this female doctor was assassinated ten years ago. The person who killed her was called Night Emperor, a murderous demon. He will soon make his move against Ye Kai."

"Okay, I'll check right away."

Yang Ziwei put down her phone and said to Ye Kai, "I've already asked Lan Bing to investigate, but we know too little about that female doctor, so it'll probably be quite difficult. Besides, she's probably no longer at Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital."

Ye Kai agreed with Yang Ziwei's analysis, "Yes, she won't wait for the Night Emperor's people to kill her anymore. I think we can check if there were any female experts who left Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital ten years ago, and then we'll know which one it is."

Yang Ziwei praised, "Ye Kai, you're so smart. I'll tell Lan Bing right away."

Yang Ziwei immediately called Lan Bing again, asking her to focus on investigating the female expert who left Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital ten years ago, especially the one from the past ten years.

After making the call, Yang Ziwei was in a great mood. She ate a few steamed buns and drank a glass of milk.

Lan Bing quickly got the results: ten years ago, a female expert named Fang Lin did indeed leave Jiangzhou Municipal Hospital, but her whereabouts were unknown.

This result is disappointing; just when we had a lead, it was cut off again.

Lan Bing also sent Fang Lin's detailed information. Fang Lin is a graduate of Dijing Medical University. She returned to Jiangzhou to work after graduating from the university 31 years ago.

Ye Kai immediately contacted Inada Rinko and asked her to investigate whether Fang Lin worked at a hospital in Japan or taught at a university.

"It seems the situation is not optimistic. This Fang Lin may have changed her identity, changed her name, and gone far away."

"That's all we can do for now; we have no other leads."

Ye Kai recalled Master Tianluo's words, and a flash of inspiration struck him: "Yes, there are other clues!"
