Bai Yue smiled lightly twice and looked at An Li innocently.
"Professor An, what ill intentions could I have? I'm just an ordinary patient here."
An Li glanced at his immobile legs and asked, "Are you afraid that Gu Yu and I will refuse to treat you?"
"It's easier to chat with smart people. Now that Professor An knows my purpose, it's easy. I guess you and Lu Anning must have a deep connection! Otherwise, I can't think of any reason why you would be so close to a young person. You and she are not even in the same field."
If An Li and Gu Yu became close because of academic exchanges between colleagues, then her kindness towards Lu An Ning was completely unreasonable.
An Li chuckled softly: "I just simply like a junior, feel that we have a connection, and want to treat her well. Is there anything wrong with that?"
It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I can talk to Mr. Gu, he will definitely be willing to tell me the answer. In fact, my request is very simple, just cure my leg, and Professor An's secrets will naturally not be known to anyone else. You don't want to ruin your reputation for a lifetime because of this little thing, right! "
An Li pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her.
"You are so brave, you dare to threaten me."
"You are the most famous doctor. It's not worth it to ruin your reputation because of me. I just need you to help me stand up. It won't be difficult for you."
An Li curled her lips: "Of course I can cure you, and I can also make you walk freely next month."
Bai Yue's pupils suddenly dilated, and he grabbed the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with an urgent look in his eyes.
"Is everything you said true?"
He knew that if An Li said yes, then it must be yes.
"certainly."
An Li leaned over and approached Bai Yue. When they were so close, she suddenly pinched Bai Yue's neck. In the palm of her hand, she could clearly feel the beating of Bai Yue's carotid artery. The slender silver needle was so close that it flashed coldly in the sunlight.
"I can also make you shut up forever."
Bai Yue didn't move, met An Li's cold gaze, and laughed out loud.
"It's not worth it for Professor An to dirty his hands for a nobody like me. If that's the case, I wouldn't be at a loss if a famous professor took the blame for me."
"You are not afraid of death."
The silver needle was pressed against Bai Yue's neck, and it would pierce his skin if he moved slightly.
He believed that An Li had such ability, but he was also certain that she would not do so.
"Because I crawled out of hell."
The hideous face became even more terrifying as he laughed. As his muscles stretched, the reptile-like scars on his face seemed to come alive.
An Li smiled and finally let go of her hand.
"I can get you back on your feet in the shortest possible time, but I have one condition."
Bai Yue lowered his eyes and looked at An Li warily.
"Professor An, if you put forward any more conditions, it will be unfair."
An Li smiled indifferently: "I don't care about the conditions you mentioned at all. Do you want me to help you arrange a press conference?"
"You don't care?"
"I'm not the one who did anything wrong, so why should I be afraid? Only the weak are afraid of gossip. My children are all excellent. If we make our relationship public, they will only be my pride. Unlike you, who can only live in the dark."
An Li hit Bai Yue's sore spot, and he clenched his fists, his bones crackling.
"Do you think I want to live in the dark? No one knows how I have survived all these years. Even I feel like a stink bug in a sewer. What have I done wrong? I just want to live. Even if everyone gives up on me, I can't give up on myself."
"There's nothing wrong with living. What's wrong is the way you choose to live. Originally, you were standing in the sunshine."
Bai Yue smiled bitterly: "What's the point of saying this now! You are not me, no one will understand."
"Then tell me, who made that thing?"
"What?"
"That thing, you call it a Smurf. I'd like to know who developed it."
Bai Yue wanted to deny it, but An Li stopped him again: "Don't pretend you don't know. I'm not a police officer, I'm just a doctor. I'm just curious about what kind of person such a great chemical genius is. If possible, I'd like to meet him."
"I have no idea."
"You know exactly what I'm talking about. Think it over carefully. I have no ill intentions, I just value talent. If someone like this comes to my lab, they'll create greater value. Wouldn't that be better than doing this on your own? So what if they make money? You'll be living in fear every day."
Bai Yue remained silent, and An Li smiled.
"Don't think you can get away with it for long just because you've exploited loopholes in the rules. These things are updated very quickly. Once they're proven to be harmful to the human body, they'll be listed as banned drugs. Your sister has been taken away twice. When do you think it will be your turn?"
Seeing Bai Yue's expression change, An Li smiled with satisfaction. Then, she changed the subject and inserted a silver needle into his acupuncture point while he was not paying attention. Bai Yue subconsciously frowned and looked at An Li.
An Li looked normal, and her kind expression almost made people mistakenly believe that the woman who had just negotiated with him and was holding his lifeline was not her.
A tingling sensation gradually spread across Bai Yue's legs, and he could hardly suppress his inner excitement.
After so many years, he actually started to feel something.
An Li noticed Bai Yue's reaction and raised the corner of her mouth.
"You know what? If I move my needle just a little bit, I can turn you into a complete vegetable."
She smiled gently, but there was a cold light in her eyes. Bai Yue held his breath and stared at her.
"The cost is too great, you won't do it."
"As long as An Ning is well, I know any price." She smiled, and after one injection, the numbness became more obvious, but Bai Yue didn't dare to relax anymore.
