Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 400 The Si Family

The next morning, before the morning mist had completely dissipated, Yan Lan stood outside the gate of the prefecture again. Just as she was about to step inside, she saw a long queue forming at the entrance.

The guards were checking the work permits of each person entering the premises, explaining in a serious tone: "Yesterday, Director Yan reported a theft in his office and suspected that a thief had infiltrated the prefectural government. Now, everyone entering the prefectural government must have their identity documented."

A knowing glint flashed in Yan Lan's eyes. It seemed that Yan Feng was determined not to hand over the prescription he kept close to his body.

She wasn't impatient and didn't linger. She turned around and went back to her clinic, waiting for Yan Feng to back down on his own.

Just around noon, Yan Lan's phone rang, and an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen.

Yan Lan answered the phone, and Yan Feng's anxious, trembling voice immediately came from the other end: "Yan Lan! It's me, Dad! Please remove me from the blacklist, I need to talk to you urgently!"

It turned out that after hanging up the phone yesterday, Yan Feng had been feeling uneasy and anxious, so he took some time to go to the hospital for a check-up.

When the test results came out, he was completely shocked to find that he had early-stage liver cancer. The doctor specifically instructed him to start conservative treatment as soon as possible to stabilize his condition.

In a panic, his first thought was to contact Yan Lan, only to find that he had already been blacklisted by her. It took him a while to find another number and dial the number.

Hearing Yan Feng's hurried tone, Yan Lan didn't waste any words and simply said, "Bring the prescription and come to my clinic to find me."

An hour later, the clinic door was suddenly pushed open, and Yan Feng rushed in, covered in sweat. Before he could even catch his breath, he pulled a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Yan Lan with both hands.

"The prescription is here. Please take a look and see if it can save Dad."

Yan Lan reached out and took it, but after only one glance, the paper was torn to shreds, the scraps falling to the ground, glaringly bright.

"Yan Lan! Are you crazy?!"

Yan Feng instantly exploded, about to erupt in anger, but was interrupted by Yan Lan's cold gaze, "You don't think I can't even recognize my mother's handwriting, do you?"

One sentence instantly froze Yan Feng's anger on his face: there was something wrong with the handwriting on this prescription?

He stubbornly tried to defend himself, saying, "What do you mean, fake? This is what your mother left me. Why would I lie to you with something fake?"

Yan Lan didn't waste any more time with him. She pointed to the door and said in a cold tone, "Since you won't tell the truth, then leave now. My clinic doesn't serve people like you."

Seeing that Yan Lan was serious, Yan Feng's arrogance vanished instantly, and the anxiety on his face turned into a mournful cry. He stepped forward, grabbed Yan Lan's arm, and his voice softened: "Lanlan, Daddy didn't lie to you. This is really the one your mother left me! If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning!"

Yan Lan looked at the panic and earnestness in his eyes, which didn't seem feigned. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her tone softened: "Besides preparing this prescription for me, have you shown it to anyone else before?"

Yan Feng was taken aback, his eyes unconsciously drifting to the side. He hesitated for a full half minute before stammering, "No."

"You'd better tell the truth." Yan Lan's tone turned serious again. "I might as well tell you that for your early-stage liver cancer, there is no other way to completely eradicate it except by using the medicine I prescribed."

I can also guarantee that it won't affect your work.

If you go to the hospital for treatment, it's not as safe.

These words struck a nerve with Yan Feng. His face paled, and he dared not hide anything any longer. He quickly nodded and said, "I'll talk! I'll talk! I did show that prescription to someone before!"

"Is it the middle-aged woman I met at the gate of your prefecture yesterday?" Yan Lan immediately asked.

Yan Feng nodded heavily, and then realized what had happened. His expression grew even more grim: "Could it be that she switched the prescription?"

"Who is she? I'm going to find her."

“Her name is Siqin…” Before Yan Feng could finish speaking, Yan Lan stopped asking questions, took off her white coat, and strode towards the door: “You wait for me at the clinic, I’ll go find her.”

"No! You can't go to her!" Yan Feng's heart tightened at the sight, and he almost instinctively rushed forward, blocking Yan Lan's path with his hand. His tone even carried a hint of pleading, "That woman is not someone to be trifled with. You can't afford to offend her!"

Yan Lan stopped and looked at Yan Feng's tense face. A hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she spoke calmly but precisely, hitting the nail on the head: "Her surname is Si. She is a relative of Si Chu, right? If I'm not mistaken, she should be the governor's wife."

In the entire Singaporean continent, the only family with the surname Si that Yan Feng, now the director, would avoid mentioning so much and even speak of with such apprehension is the Si family.

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng's face paled even further.

"You know she's from the Si family, and you still dare to offend her? Do you even know what kind of family the Si family is!"

Yan Feng was still unwilling to give up, tugging at Yan Lan's clothes and muttering, his tone full of evasiveness.

The Si family in Singapore is far more prestigious than any ordinary family; they are a truly long-established and influential clan with nearly a thousand years of history.

The Si family and the Qin family are completely different. The Qin family is a newly rich family that rose to prominence only two years before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although they are currently not weak, their foundation is still shallow and they are easily shaken by the wind.

But the Si family is different. Tracing back to the ancient feudal dynasties, they already had a prominent background. Generations of family members held important positions and quietly grasped the lifeline of Singapore, becoming the "stabilizing force" of this land.

It's clear to everyone that the current governor's stable position is largely due to the support of the Si family.

The rumor that "Si Chu will be the next successor to the governor of the continent" has never been unfounded. In the end, it is because everyone is wary of the Si family's power and has tacitly accepted this "natural right".

“The prescription was switched after passing through her hands, so naturally I had to go find her.”

Yan Lan spoke calmly, without yielding an inch.

"She is the governor's wife, and she cannot steal other people's things at will."

Yan Lan felt neither liking nor disliking the madam playing the zither. She only believed in one principle: to take back what belonged to her mother, and no one could stop her.

"What do you mean by stealing? How dare you talk like that!"

Yan Feng was startled when he heard this.

"What kind of status does Madam have that she would care about a small prescription from you? Besides, in the entire Xingzhou, if Madam Si wants something, is there anything she can't get?"

She asked for it herself, and you were so busy handing it to her that you actually went to her door to question her. You're so ungrateful!

His words were full of flattery towards Siqin and dissatisfaction with Yan Lan's "lack of manners," as if the one who was wrong was never the one who switched the prescription, but Yan Lan who wanted her things back.

But Yan Lan seemed not to have heard him at all. Her fingertips just touched the clinic doorknob, and she pushed the door open and walked out.

"Yan Lan! Come back here!"

Yan Feng was both angry and anxious, and without saying anything more, he turned around and tried to chase after her to stop her.

The two had just rushed to the elevator entrance when, with a soft "ding," the elevator doors suddenly slid open to the sides, and a sharp scream instantly pierced the silence of the corridor.

Yan Lan stopped abruptly, her nose the first to detect something amiss.

A strong smell of blood wafted from the elevator, making one's heart skip a beat.
