Inside the Yan family’s private sanatorium.
Yan Han lay on the hospital bed. He was Yan Liang’s biological older brother after all—only Yan Liang dared to torment him in the Yan family, but he still held absolute authority within and outside of the family.
But now he was unbearably humiliated.
Once the first-ranked heir in his prime who commanded much respect, he could now only play second fiddle to Yan Liang, unable even to stand—how could he accept that reality?
“Eldest Young Master, are you sure you felt a sharp pain in your legs while in the icy lake? But haven’t you had no sensation for two years?”
“This… what we’ve detected now is that the nerves in your legs have completely died.“
The doctor held the chart cautiously, not daring to tell the Eldest Young Master that previously, his legs weren’t truly beyond hope of treatment.
Because the nerves in his legs had not completely died.
But… the Young Mistress was an absolute power in the capital city and even across the entire nation.
Even though the Eldest Young Master was also noble, they both knew clearly who held power and whose order had to be followed.
Moreover, this was the Yan family’s exclusive top-tier sanatorium. It was supposed to be just a sanatorium, but in reality it was equipped with the world’s highest-standard medical instruments, major medical experts, and resources.
In such a highly specialized, high-intensity hospital.
Yan Han had already lost absolute control over first-hand information and could only receive what Yan Liang wanted him to see.
“No… no… this is absolutely impossible.”
“I clearly felt it, my legs cannot be completely dead!”
“I order you, give me a satisfactory test result, or I’ll level this entire hospital to the ground!”
“Don’t forget, this is the Yan family’s property, and I… am the Yan family’s most…”
Yan Han pulled out his identity as the heir of the most influential financial clan of the country. He was actually badly injured, and this time Yan Liang had clearly gone all out, showing no scruples toward her own brother.
Even when he was in the water, he remembered tilting his head back to look up at Yan Liang’s domineering posture and the cold, ice-like stare she gave him.
For a moment he felt that the Yan Liang who supposedly fought back from the Middle East organization was no longer his sister.
She was clearly a… killing instrument!!
“Most what?”
Yan Liang clicked her high heels. A form-fitting professional suit amplified her entire aura and temperament, and the sharp heels sounded with murderous intent.
Only the timid Zhou Ning, who followed Ms. Liang, understood.
The Young Mistress seemed calm now, but in fact she had lost control of herself for quite some time.
Originally he intended to drive Ms. Liang back to Liangyue Manor for hypnosis treatment first.
But he was refused by Ms. Liang.
Although Dr. Manke had been the only doctor over the years capable of hypnotizing the Young Mistress into therapeutic sleep.
But recently the Young Mistress’s sleep had actually been good.
Her illness still required more professional treatment, however.
The old Yan Liang hadn’t wanted to live long. To her, if she really had to die, she would die together with Qin Jiang!!
That would have made her happy enough.
But now she greedily longed to be with Qin Jiang for a much longer time, for forever…
Therefore, she had to personally root out the source of that supposed “curse” causing her to die before twenty-five.
Why?
Why must the women of the Yan family not live past twenty-five??
Her life—she would control it herself!
Yan Liang hated the feeling of her life being controlled invisibly, as if the heavens had set a countdown on her life.
But she refused to submit!
Jiang liked this world, so she wanted to live longer to stay with him.
So she chose to come to the hospital for a brand-new examination.
She had undergone full-body checks before.
But like Yan Han now, when the financial family’s authority wasn’t in her hands, perhaps she had been deceived?
She just happened to come to the hospital.
And learned that Yan Han was making a scene!
Just when she was itching to do something nasty…
Yan Han sat up in his wheelchair. Moments ago he had been fierce and arrogant, but now he cowered.
“Li… Little Liang, why have you come?”
“Did you come to the hospital especially to see me? I’m so moved…”
But Yan Han didn’t dare to even flinch, afraid that if he displeased her… she’d ruin him!!
But he didn’t dare speak his true thoughts.
“Yan Han, I ask you… did the man behind the curse of the Yan family’s women dying before twenty-five ever tell you the reason?”
How could Yan Liang not know? Yan Han was only clinging to life because he hoped for her death at twenty-five so he could seize back control of the Yan financial empire.
But unfortunately… he seemed to have underestimated how dark his insane sister’s heart truly was.
If she truly died, the entire Yan family… would be buried with her.
“I… I don’t know.”
“Before you returned home, Father was still in his prime and only gave me a branch to manage. The core of the Yan financial empire remained in his own hands.”
“As for Aunt, didn’t you know? She did die suddenly at twenty-five…”
This was the truth they knew, but the ‘curse’ had existed even before that.
Rather than call it a ‘curse’, as Mr. Yan said, it was a hereditary family disease—no cure, no medicine!
Aunt’s death was obscure, but it was the first time the young Yan Liang witnessed a life passing away with her own eyes!
“You didn’t know?”
Yan Liang’s eyes darkened. She stepped closer in her high heels, sending a chilling aura that made Yan Han in his wheelchair shudder.
This woman was really insane!!
Yan Han had always known this, so he had been dedicated to finding her weakness.
He had finally devised a plan using Qin Jiang as bait.
But the plan unexpectedly failed.
And he himself almost paid with his life.
He nearly lost everything!
Worse, he began to suspect that his legs had clearly been savable before…
The more Yan Han thought, the more terrified and panicked he became!
“Tsk, my big brother… what were you asking the doctor just now?”
“If you have any questions, you can ask your sister~”
Yan Liang’s voice was hoarse, tinged with a strange amusement. Excitement colored her pale, delicate face as she tilted her head, her gaze cold, yet the corners of her lips curved into a smile.
Yan Han felt a chill run down his spine.
What kind of illness was Yan Liang displaying now?
Zhou Ning’s best guess was…an illness that could very well get Yan Han killed.
“My big brother, think again—do you really know nothing at all?”
Yan Liang adopted a pose of magnanimously giving him a chance.
She leaned in slightly, yet radiated an oppressive pressure.
“I, I don’t know anything.”
“Father has already had a stroke and become a vegetable—are you still going to…”
Yan Han was certain—since Yan Liang didn’t kill him two years ago.
Then she absolutely wouldn’t kill him now either…
“Since big brother is of no use to me anymore.”
“You might as well accompany your sister in a game.”
“You know, you liked getting me to play games with you when we were children… now it’s your turn to play with me~”
The murderous intent in Yan Liang’s voice terrified Yan Han.
He… he really didn’t know!
But he knew even better that deceiving Yan Liang would end in something worse—merely playing her game now should… not result in death!
“Oh, right… your legs were indeed treatable two years ago. It was I who told the doctors to conceal it from you~”
“After all… rather than taking my big brother’s life, I prefer to make you live a life worse than being dead~~”
With one look from Yan Liang, the attending doctors who were scolded by Yan Han earlier quickly fled the scene.
Zhou Ning, after handing the Young Mistress’s weapon to her, dutifully closed the ward door.
Yan Han swallowed and felt as if the sky was collapsing.
At this moment, Yan Liang was clearly a demon!!
“Yan Liang, you monster, what are you going to do?”
“I was in the wrong… Your brother knows he’s wrong… whatever game you want me to play, I will play it with you.”
“It’s just, it’s just that it’s hard for me to move right now…”
“What game does Little Liang want to play with me?”
Yan Han’s voice was hoarse, and he knew all too well that he was now just a trapped turtle in a jar for this insane yandere sister!
He couldn’t escape at all.
He could only obey.
“Then let’s play… the dissection game.”
“Didn’t big brother once personally dissect my favorite pet bunny that I raised as a child? You remember Alice?”
“Today, you will also be Alice in Little Liang’s hands…”
“Ah! Big brother, don’t be nervous.”
“Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal…”
