Chapter 203 Open Stratagem
Chapter 203 Open Stratagem
```
Pei Luoyan, oh Pei Luoyan, you better not fall into my hands!
Qin Yu was seething with rage, yet he couldn't vent it.
Because Pei Luoyan was hiding in the shadows, and with East Sea being so vast, to find her in a short period of time was simply unrealistic.
The only option was to wait, wait for her to show herself.
However, this feeling of being constantly on the defensive was frustrating for anyone.
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes before forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart and drove towards the hospital.
Before long.
Qin Yu hurried to the emergency room corridor.
Two uniformed police officers were talking in low voices.
Seeing Qin Yu step out of the elevator, they sized him up, "Qin Jianjun's son?"
"Yes, thank you for your efforts, officers. How's my dad doing now?"
Qin Yu nodded politely to the two policemen. Enjoy new tales from empire
"Not sure, we need to wait for the doctor to come out. However, we've got pretty much everything from the nurse. Someone gave her a sum of money to increase your father's medication dosage by three times today. That's why he suffered from drug poisoning. You just need to sign here, and as soon as we find out who instigated the nurse, we will notify you!"
After saying this, one of the officers took out a police receipt form for Qin Yu to sign.
"All right, thank you!"
Qin Yu signed, and the officer asked him to leave a phone number.
After that, the two officers stepped into the elevator.
Damn it!
Qin Yu frowned tightly and slammed down into a chair. He didn't trust the police to find Pei Luoyan at all, and at the same time, he was worried about Yan Mingyu. But his father was still in critical care, and he couldn't leave.
Another hour passed.
Finally, the door to the emergency room opened.
A doctor, wiping sweat from his face and looking exhausted, emerged.
"Doctor, how's my dad?"
Qin Yu sprang up to ask.
"He's clinging to life, but the next few hours are critical. You'd better stay in the hospital and not go anywhere so that we can notify you if there's an emergency," the doctor said gravely, before adding, "Qin Jianjun's account is running low on medical funds, you need to deposit fifty thousand first!"
"OK, I'll go right away!"
Qin Yu nodded and turned to enter the elevator.
Thankfully, he was earning a decent salary every month. Otherwise, just his father's medical expenses could drive him to despair.
By the time Qin Yu returned after paying the medical fees, Qin Jianjun had already been moved to the intensive care unit.
Qin Yu could only continue to sit in the corridor and wait, not knowing when his father would get through the critical period.
Before he knew it, evening had arrived.
Qin Yu realized he had been sitting in the corridor for four or five hours already.
But the nurses coming and going said his father was still not out of danger, which made him extremely anxious and agitated.
Pei Luoyan's people might target Li Xiaozu tonight.
She said Li Xiaozu would be dead in three days. One day had already passed last night; if they didn't make their move tonight, with only one night left, Mingyu would be on higher alert, making it harder for them to succeed.
Yet there he was, trapped in the hospital.
What's called a stratagem of openness? This was it. He knew Pei Luoyan's move against his father was a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, yet he could only comply helplessly.
Compared to schemes of secrecy, an overt stratagem was more frightening. They didn't just aim to kill; they aimed to crush the spirit.
Damn it all!
At that moment.
At Haikang Hospital.
Yan Mingyu, having dealt with the matters at hand in the company, rushed over directly.
Tang Black Tortoise thoughtfully ordered food from the hotel opposite.

"Miss Yan, we've known each other for quite some time, may I call you Mingyu?"
Under the light, Tang Black Tortoise's handsome face was as if it had been meticulously sculpted, definitely capable of eclipsing the so-called fresh meat of the entertainment industry.
A slight stubble, a robust physique, he exuded a sense of complete security.
"Why?"
Yan Mingyu gently arched an eyebrow.
As the heir of the provincial Tang Family, Tang Black Tortoise stayed by her side and helped her, for which she was grateful. But right now, troubles were looming over her, and her "husband" had not annulled their marriage; it was impossible for her to have more than a friendship with him.
"Uh... Miss Yan is beautiful, intelligent, and has an independent personality, I think any man would develop a fondness for her!"
Tang Black Tortoise said rather tactfully.
"Mr. Tang, sorry, I think my husband wouldn't allow me to be close with other men!"
Yan Mingyu could not outright reject Tang Black Tortoise, so she had to use her nominal husband as a shield.
"Ah? Miss Yan, you're married...?"
Tang Black Tortoise was incredibly surprised.
"Married, for over a year now."
Yan Mingyu nodded.
"Oh... my apologies, then I've overstepped. But, these days, how come I've never seen your husband? Is he not in East Sea?"
Tang Black Tortoise was a bit persistent.
What if Yan Mingyu and her husband were not getting along?
"He..."
Yan Mingyu wasn't in the habit of lying, and with Tang Black Tortoise asking such a question, she really didn't know how to explain the relationship she had with her husband.
Could she say that she had forgotten what he even looked like, and that she was already prepared to divorce?
"Hehe... Miss Yan, here, have some soup!"
Tang Black Tortoise could tell from Yan Mingyu's expression that her relationship with her husband was definitely distant. This sort of thing was all too common in wealthy families.
Many were marriages of convenience; after getting the marriage certificate, the husband and wife hardly lived together, each doing their own thing, and only appeared in the public eye when needed to display affection.
"Hmm, thank you!"
Yan Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Tang Black Tortoise would keep digging into the matter.
"By the way, Miss Yan, I think there's a good chance that Pei Luoyan will make her move tonight!"
Tang Black Tortoise changed the subject.
He knew that women like Yan Mingyu, successful and lofty, were not easy to woo. He could only influence her subtly, bit by bit.
On the other hand, women who would throw themselves at him with just a beckoning finger, Tang Black Tortoise also despised.
Such is human nature, always a bit... despicable!
"I think so too!"
Yan Mingyu, also sharp, felt tonight was most likely when Pei Luoyan would act.
"Miss Yan, rest assured, I've arranged everything. If Pei Luoyan dares to come, she won't return."
Tang Black Tortoise said with a slight smile.
Not only was he skilled in combat, but the men he'd selected for Hai Kang Hospital were elites from his security company.
No matter how formidable Pei Luoyan was, she was at most two or three people.
Even deploying a sea of men, they could handle her.
"Mr. Tang, then I'm counting on you!"
Yan Mingyu, at this moment, placed all her hopes on Tang Black Tortoise. Normally, her greatest support would be Qin Yu, but since Pei Luoyan had threatened to target Qin Yu's family, she didn't want Qin Yu to get involved.
Tang Black Tortoise was different; he had the provincial Tang Family behind him, a force Pei Luoyan and her group certainly wouldn't dare to mess with.
"Hehe, I will do my utmost!"
Tang Black Tortoise smiled happily.
He knew that tonight was his chance to shine.
Pei Luoyan was just a stepping stoneāif he could catch her, there was definitely a chance to unlock the heart of the exquisite woman, Yan Mingyu!
