Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

"You idiot brother, you don't need to give me my share. You can give the Doctor 80,000 Lungmen Dollars. That's the fee I paid him for his help." She opened a new bag of chocolates and gave half to Machider.

"Huh? I can understand you siding with outsiders to some extent, but this kind of operation that swindles money from outsiders... is it because I've been away from Laterano for too long that you guys came up with this new trick?" Machidir asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s the doctor’s medical expenses…it might even be his life savings. Oh well, it’s nothing. Just remember to transfer the money to the doctor.” Ambriel said vaguely, while making the sign of the cross on her chest.

I wish the doctor good luck, and let him have one last moment of happiness before that happens.

How do you think Xiao Qin will turn the tables this time?

Chapter 78, Section 269: Doctor, the car is ready.

After the simulated combat ended, Qin Duanyu suddenly fell silent.

The Imperial Guard officers, who had been watching the spectacle, returned to their posts arm in arm when the fun was over. Chen, who had been standing next to Qin Duanyu watching the battle, disappeared halfway through and could not be found anywhere.

After politely declining Ash and the others' suggestion to return to Rhodes Island, he casually dialed Chen's number while the girls watched him go with ambiguous looks.

"Doctor, I'm at the orphanage. One of the children seems to be having a nightmare and keeps calling my name. The staff couldn't control the situation and had to call me... I'm sorry, I might have to stay here a little longer." On the other end of the line, amidst the children's laughter, Chen said apologetically.

"Oh, it's alright then. There's just been so much commotion lately that I haven't had a chance to go over there. Remember to give my regards to the children." Qin Duanyu was very understanding.

The children Chen mentioned were the group of orphans that Misha relied on each other for survival in the slums. Due to the pursuit by the Reunion Movement at the time, they had to separate in order not to implicate innocent people. Afterwards, Misha faked her death, changed her identity, and joined Rhodes Island. Naturally, she could not show her face in public and could only make excuses that she had gone to a faraway place, occasionally sending some money and goods and making phone calls.

At that time, in order to find Misha's whereabouts, Chen often went in and out of the slums alone and helped these children. So before the problems of the Reunion Movement were completely resolved, Chen was the only one who could take care of them.

"Thank you, Doctor. If you hadn't made that request to Commander Wei, that orphanage wouldn't have been built. The children are very grateful to you. How about we go to that Western restaurant we went to before tomorrow night... and have dinner together?" Chen paused, then said somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, the location doesn't matter, as long as there's Longjing tea."

"You scoundrel! I'm not talking anymore, the kids are calling me!"

Imagining Chen Sir's face turning red on the other end, Qin Duanyu couldn't help but smile. She then dialed Swire's number: "Beatlex, are you free tonight? I made a small profit on my investments today. Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me?"

"I'm sorry, Doctor, I already have an appointment today," Swire said helplessly. Seemingly afraid that Qin Duanyu would misunderstand, she added, "It's just a business matter. The eldest daughter of the Rothschild family seems to be very interested in my development plan and sent me a message specifically."

"Do you need me to come over and give you some advice? I'm the best at getting LMD from rich people's pockets." Qin Duanyu became interested as soon as he heard about making money. If he could help him close this deal, the income would definitely be much more than bullying Xiao Ma.

"No, no, no, I can handle it all by myself. According to intelligence, although that young lady has been training outside for a long time, she is still very shy. She might feel nervous if there are too many outsiders around, so... once I've settled this deal, I'll treat you to a big meal!" Swire refused without even thinking and then hung up the phone.

Commander Wei, who is known for his accurate judgment of people, once said, "It's always right to leave women to a PhD to handle." If we bring him along, we might be able to win them over effortlessly. But what if this creates another competitor?

The rice noodle roll dragon alone is troublesome enough. If another rich young lady comes along, the pressure will be even greater. So, Little Tiger decided to work harder and conduct a purely business negotiation with the other party.

Although we are both heirs to the same family and both have main businesses that are completely unrelated to business, that lady rarely gets involved in business matters because she works at Black Steel International and is probably not as experienced as me.

Thinking this to herself, Swire put on a standard fake smile and gently pushed open the door to the luxury hotel room: "Hello, Miss Jessica, I am Beatrice Swire. I have been invited by you to conduct business negotiations. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, I've often heard my father mention your name. He says you're a rare business genius and hold an important position in the Guard Bureau. You're a role model for me." The cat-headed girl across from me seemed a little nervous, as if she was about to cry. "It's afternoon tea time now. Could you tell me a little about your story?"

"I remember you work for Blacksteel, right? Actually, it's not much different from the Guard Bureau. You just need to..." Swire was secretly delighted. Before even starting to talk business, her confidence had already dropped significantly. It seemed she could get a good deal.

Well, let's just consider it tuition for teaching Miss Jessica; the Rothschild family doesn't care about that little bit of money anyway. Little Tiger, unsuspecting, happily immersed himself in his work of getting close to the cat headgear.

……

"Hiss, why do I suddenly feel a little cold?" In the corridor, Qin Duanyu shivered and subconsciously tightened her coat.

"Think about what you just did, scheming against your most beloved disciple like this, doesn't your conscience hurt at all?" A resentful voice sounded from behind. Turning around, I saw Machidir, whose halo had dimmed.

“Thank you, 8 Lungmen Dollars. If you want to transfer the money, there’s an ATM over there.” Qin Duanyu stretched out his hand without any shame, while glancing behind him. “By the way, where are Ferdinand and Joel? Haven’t they washed off the smell yet? I’ll treat everyone tonight, let’s get together.”

"You're treating? It's clearly my money, you bastard!" Machider's eyes reddened upon hearing this, but she still gritted her teeth and explained, "Joel has to accompany his daughter to parent-teacher meetings and family activities, and Ferdinand has to be with his wife. They don't have time to bother with us single folks."

"Then eat more tonight. If you can finish all 8 Lungmen Dollars, it's yours," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, his tone incredibly irritating.

"No, I just received a message from my older sister. They're having a big party tonight. If we can get it done right away, we'll never have to worry about not having enough money again." Machider spread her hands, pretending to be nonchalant. "Hmph, 80,000 Lungmen Dollars is nothing to me."

After saying that, Machidir hurriedly left, and Qin Duanyu was once again all alone.

"Forget it, I'll just hail a taxi and order takeout home." He shrugged helplessly; this was the first time he'd wanted to treat someone but couldn't find anyone.

As they walked to the entrance of the Guard Bureau building, several men in sunglasses and black suits suddenly approached them.

"Doctor, we are subordinates of Lord Wei. He hopes to discuss the establishment of a special tactics team with you in detail." The middle-aged man at the head of the group bowed first, and then spoke respectfully.

"Huh? This kind of thing can be solved with just one phone call, why do we need to send someone over?" Qin Duanyu felt something was wrong and took out her phone to call Wei Yanwu.

"No, Lord Wei is... a little inconvenient right now." The man stopped Qin Duanyu and leaned closer to whisper, "He's at the same place as yesterday. He said that if you don't go, it'll be a lot less fun. We can talk about anything while we're having fun."

"Sorry, I'm a little tired today and want to go back and rest." Qin Duanyu was somewhat tempted, but a premonition made him shake his head.

"This is a token that Lord Wei specifically asked us to give to you. Please take a look." The middle-aged man seemed to have anticipated Qin Duanyu's reaction. He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and carefully handed it to him, while also taking off his sunglasses.

"Oh, it's you." Qin Duanyu looked at the item in her hand. The warm and smooth texture and the shimmering luster indicated that it was no ordinary item. This thing was indeed a treasure that Lao Wei always carried with him. In addition, the other person's appearance was also very familiar, so she finally dispelled her suspicions.

As the highest leader of Longmen, if anyone had actually obtained Lao Wei's personal belongings and bribed his bodyguards, then this leader would be dead long ago. It's safe to say that these people are innocent.

Speaking of which, Lao Wei is a true brother; he never forgets to invite him along when he's looking for fun.

"Doctor, the car is ready." Upon seeing this, the man quickly gestured for the car to proceed.

Chapter 79, Section 270, is finished. The Doctor is doomed.

A luxury car drove along the road and soon arrived at Longmen's most famous red-light district.

"Ah, the streets are so quiet during the day, not nearly as noisy as at night." Qin Duanyu, sitting in the back row, stretched and pondered whether to continue chatting with those interesting girls from last time, or try chatting with some new ones for a fresh experience.

But to his surprise, even though they had arrived at the club, the car showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it sped up and got further and further away from its destination.

"Stop! This isn't the car to Lao Wei's place!" Qin Duanyu's unease finally erupted. He prepared to open the car door and jump out, but looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside and thinking about his small stature, he had no choice but to give up.

"Doctor, we are only following Lord Wei's orders to take you to the designated place. We have no intention of harming you or causing you any harm." Seeing Qin Duanyu preparing to make a phone call for help, the middle-aged man sitting next to her still spoke respectfully, seemingly trying to reassure her, but it was clearly a threat to make Qin Duanyu stop what she was doing.

Of course, what those people do after they arrive is none of his business.

Those below him had no right to participate in the games played by these big shots, and he knew perfectly well what he should and shouldn't ask, having followed Wei Yanwu for many years.

"What? He... he betrayed our friendship?" Qin Duanyu asked, her eyes wide with disbelief.

All his acquaintances were sent away under various pretexts. Even if he managed to get through to Chen and the others by phone, it would have taken them hundreds of times longer to get there. This situation would normally have raised serious concerns, but he never expected that the other party would have such immense power that it could influence Wei Yanwu.

As the saying goes, loyalty is only because the price of betrayal is not high enough, but what kind of benefits could make Wei Yanwu abandon his good brother?

"No, Lord Wei is actually in dire straits himself right now. This morning, several Rhodes Island operators..." The middle-aged man swallowed hard and said with difficulty.

"Cough cough cough!" The driver in the front seat coughed a few times to interrupt the man, and surprisingly it was a woman.

However, judging from the horn faintly peeking out from under the other party's hat, they were undoubtedly ghosts from the Eastern Kingdom, and Qin Duanyu seemed to understand something.

Meanwhile, inside the Longmen official residence.

Wei Yanwu, the supreme leader of Longmen, was covered in sweat and trembling. He would occasionally look up at the woman in front of him, then quickly look away, adopting a humble and submissive demeanor.

"Now that the evidence is out in the open, do you have anything else to say?" A woman in a kimono with a single horn on her head slowly approached, looking down at Wei Yanwu, and asked in a very slow voice.

Her voice was melodious and graceful, each word containing an inexplicable rhythm, exuding the air of an elegant noblewoman, but even those without ears could hear the suppressed anger within it.

"Honey, this is the third washboard already. I can't feel my knees anymore. It would be terrible if reporters found out. Could you please pay for it later?" Wei Yanwu asked with a fawning smile.

Even without counting the dragon horns on his head, Wei Yanwu was still taller than Qin Duanyu. The fact that the noblewoman could easily look down at him was not due to her height, but because Old Wei had been kneeling the entire time.

"You owe me? Fine, you can leave once you break this washboard while you're kneeling." The wealthy woman curled her lip and took out a washboard made of alloy. According to the researcher who developed it, this thing is sturdy and durable, and can be passed down as a family heirloom for several generations.

"Well... forget it then, I'll keep trying." Wei Yanwu gritted his teeth and gave up his fantasies.

"Stop thinking about it, just accept the punishment honestly. The ladies from Rhodes Island are determined to win, and that Doctor is in dire straits himself, he has no energy left to save you." The lady continued, she knew very well what Wei Yanwu was thinking, and with just one sentence, she broke down his mental defenses.

Oh no, this is a case of being outmaneuvered by someone with information; the PhD student is doomed!

Having lost all hope, Wei Yanwu couldn't help but lower his head in anguish.

……

Several tens of minutes later, the car arrived at a remote suburb, slowly drove into an abandoned factory, dropped Qin Duanyu off, and drove away.

They weren't worried about Qin Duanyu escaping. It would be almost impossible for her to get to the city for help without a means of transportation. Besides, those angry girls were still guarding the area. Unless the doctor was some kind of peerless expert who was deliberately hiding his strength, there was no way she could escape.

"After all this scheming, it's time to reap the rewards." Qin Duanyu sighed softly, looking at the strangely colored specks of light around her. "Or are you planning to take care of me from the shadows?"

"Doctor, after serving as your assistant for so long, I wonder how much I've learned?" Lappland, whom we hadn't seen for a long time, emerged from the shadows, her kind smile as warm as the first time we met.

Chilling.

"Very good. The design is meticulous. Using Lungmen coins as bait, you completely grasped my habits. Even if there were some flaws, they were concealed. Most importantly, you actually managed to win over Madam Wen Yue's support." Qin Duanyu nodded and exclaimed sincerely.

"When it comes to dealing with scumbags, women always share the same goal. We only briefly explained our purpose, and we gained Lady Fumizuki's support," Texas said coldly, biting off a piece of POCKY from her mouth.

"Although everyone was angry and embarrassed after failing to steal the food, if we calm down and think about it carefully, the culprit should definitely be punished the most." Bai Jin tightened the bowstring and took out a thumb-thick arrow from the quiver and nocked it.

Dare to run? I'll break your legs!

Even if they really ran for their lives, the path they came from was blocked by Melantha, and on the high platform not far away, Blue Poison's crossbow reflected a deep light in the sunlight, and another halo that could not be hidden was obviously from someone else.

"Since you have the audacity to deceive a lady's feelings, you must be prepared to die a horrible death, right?" The genius sorcerer from Victoria, Miss Skyfire, raised her staff, and her Originium Arts made the air scorching hot.

From feigning to search for Qin Duanyu to lower her guard, to secretly colluding and using every available resource to eliminate any external support Qin Duanyu could call upon, and through the intelligence provided by Exusiai, rescuing Bai Xue who had been sent to Rhodes Island, gaining leverage over Wei Yanwu, and thus securing Lady Wen Yue's support.

Then, by distracting Qin Duanyu and making him focus his perception entirely on the training ground, and subtly getting rid of Chen and Shi Huaiya, the two troublesome guys, the whole plan was flawless. Finally, by using Wei Yanwu's token as bait, they tricked him into coming to this remote area.

Lappland alone could not have devised such a meticulous plan that even Qin Duanyu was tricked into. Tianhuo was also involved throughout the entire process and, driven by anger, they jointly devised this doomed killing scheme.

This scum of humanity must die today; no one can save him!

"Actually, I'm very glad about one thing." Even though all her escape routes were blocked, Qin Duanyu remained calm and resigned, spreading her hands as if they were the ones who needed to be eliminated.

"Hmm?" Lappland raised an eyebrow in confusion. At this point, this scumbag doctor wouldn't still expect to deceive everyone with sweet talk, would he? He already said those "thank you for meeting us" words back in Siesta. There's no way he'd fall for it this time!

"Ever since that frantic escape, I haven't replenished my sanity potion. I used up the last few vials yesterday when I was catching Bai Xue," Qin Duanyu said with a smile, silently counting down, while maintaining his omniscient perspective.

[Warning! Host's sanity has dropped to a dangerous level and will be depleted in 1 minute.]

The system notifications that were usually a pain in the neck were now like heavenly music. Qin Duanyu felt her thoughts becoming increasingly blurred, and her consciousness began to change towards boldness and madness. All sorts of strange ideas surged into her mind, and she almost laughed out loud.

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

If we can't let Bo out, what else can we do? Turn on the suppression mode and tear them apart?

"Doctor, you have no chance of escaping this time..." Lappland frowned. The so-called sanity potion could make the doctor's thinking clearer. Taking advantage of the time when the drug could not be replenished, exhausting the doctor's energy was also part of the operation.

Judging from his tone, not taking the medicine is actually a good thing.
