Rebirth of 1985’s Best Doctor

Song Yiren propped her chin up and stared at the food on the table in front of her in a daze.

When she heard footsteps, she turned her head around to take a look. Seeing that it was Su Jinyue, she flashed her a small smile and said, “I’ve scooped the rice already.” Anyway, Su Jinyue was going to die tonight. She could be a bit nice to her, just take it as a send-off.

Su Jinyue glanced at the food on the table and saw that there was a lavish spread today. A tinge of cold derision flashed across her eyes. Looks like Song Yiren has specially prepared my last meal for me.

“Are you in a bad mood? It’s because of Big Brother Zhan, isn’t it?” Song Yiren asked when Su Jinyue did not say anything. Su Jinyue probably never expected that it would be farewell forever, after parting with Zhan Yihan this time round. From now on, Zhan Yihan would be hers. Even if she had to ruin the man she wanted, she would never give him to others. She would not be polite to anyone who stood in her way.

“Does that have anything to do with you?” Su Jinyue looked at Song Yiren mockingly. She could not put on an amiable demeanour to someone who was out to kill her. Furthermore, the two of them had already had an acrimonious falling-out, so why should she bother pretending.

Suppressing her anger, Song Yiren said, “I asked you because I care about you.” She seriously doesn’t know what’s good for her. I’m nice to her but she doesn’t want that and still gives me attitude. She deserves to die.

“That’s not necessary, I dare not accept your concern…” Seeing Xu Tiansheng walk in, Su Jinyue swallowed the rest of her sentence. She did not want to make Teacher feel sad because of the affairs between her and Song Yiren.

Xu Tiansheng walked to the table and sat down. He then picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and said, “Let’s eat!” These past few days, although he did not say anything about it, he knew in his heart that the relationship between Jinyue and Yiren was no longer as close as it used to be.

“Okay!” Su Jinyue and Song Yiren nodded, before picking up their bowls and chopsticks from the table and digging in. Even if they were going to quarrel, they would not quarrel in front of their Teacher.

Song Yiren quickly finished her meal. She put down the bowl and chopsticks and looked at Xu Tiansheng as she said, “Teacher, I’ll go for a walk outside.” As long as she thought about how she would never have to see Su Jinyue again from tomorrow onwards, her mood was especially great.

After walking out of the house, Song Yiren hid under the cloak of night and came to the place where she had met with the man in black yesterday. She looked around before taking out the bamboo flute and blew on it.

Not long after, a dark shadow walked out from behind a tree.

Seeing the man in black, Song Yiren raised a smile and said, “Take action tonight. This time, you must not fail again.” She had already used up two opportunities just to kill Song Yiren. Now that she thought about it, it was really not worth the while.

“Okay!” The man in black nodded in response.

“I want to see Su Jinyue’s corpse tomorrow morning. If she’s not dead, you’ll be the dead one,” Song Yiren threatened coldly. If he could not kill a weak woman with two chances, how could she count on him to help her with the third matter? She might as well say that the third thing was for him to go and die.

The man in black suddenly took a step forward. He grabbed Song Yiren’s hand and held them behind her, firmly restraining her.

Song Yiren was shocked and struggled in fear. “What are you doing? Let go of me.” Had she known, she would not have threatened him.

The man in black pulled down the black mask on his face, revealing a clean squarish face. “I am a policeman, and I have conclusive evidence of you hiring a contract killer. I will now take you to the police station for further investigation.”

Song Yiren’s face suddenly turned pale, and her body trembled involuntarily as she denied, “I-I didn’t hire a contract killer. I was kidding just now. Please let me go, I beg you.” How did the policeman know that I wanted to kill Su Jinyue? How did he know about the man in black?

“We will definitely investigate this thoroughly when we get to the police station.” The policeman restrained Song Yiren and walked forward. Chief Yang had sent him to impersonate the man in black, for the purpose of arresting Song Yiren.

The policeman forced Song Yiren onto a three-wheeled motorbike. Even until she reached the police station, she still did not understand how the man in black could be a policeman.

When she got to the interrogation room, and saw the two policemen with solemn expressions sitting in front of her, Song Yiren felt even more terrified. Up till now, she didn’t even know where the police station was, let alone entered one. What should I do now?

“Come clean with us, why did you hire a contract killer?” One of the policemen asked in a cold voice.

“I-I didn’t…” Song Yiren answered in a quivering voice. Had she known that this would be the outcome, she would definitely not have gotten the man in black to kill Su Jinyue. She really regretted it now!

The other policeman pulled out a small tape recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button on it. Immediately, the conversation between Song Yiren and the policeman could be heard.

“Take action tonight. This time, you must not fail again.”

“Okay!”

“I want to see Su Jinyue’s corpse tomorrow morning. If she’s not dead, you’ll be the dead one.”

Song Yiren’s face was as pale as a sheet and she slumped limply on the chair. The other party actually recorded what she said. In that case, there was no point in her trying to defend herself. It seemed that she was on a road that only led to death.

Yang Tao was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching the television. When he heard the phone on the table ring, he reached out to answer the phone, “This is Yang Tao.”

“Chief! This is Zhang Jie. We’ve already arrested that person.”

“Well done!” Yang Tao said in satisfaction. After understanding Song Yiren’s situation, he hung up the phone.

He took a sip of the tea on the table, and started singing Peking Opera in a good mood, “The cold wind penetrates to the very bone at night, and the sky is full of stars with no clouds in sight; At this place, the heroes are filled with unlimited hatred and sorrow, even if they have no worries.”

“Why are you singing Peking Opera all of a sudden?” Lin Suyun walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of fruit.

Yang Tao took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, “I ran into an old friend today, and he asked me to do something. I just received the news that the matter has been settled.”

“Old friend? Who is it?” Lin Suyun placed the fruit plate in her hand on the table and sat down beside Yang Tao. She knew almost all of her husband’s friends.

“It’s that person I told you about, Zhan Yi…” Just then, the phone on the desk rang again.

Yang Tao shrugged helplessly and reached out to pick up the phone, “This is Yang Tao.” Even when he was home, he rarely had any free time. Sometimes, when a phone call came in, he would have to go to the police station even in the middle of the night. Hence, he was already used to it.

“Brother Yang, this is Zhan Yihan.” Zhan Yihan’s voice came through from the other end of the line.

“Aren’t you on the train? Where did you get a phone?” Yang Tao asked in surprise.

“I borrowed a cellphone from someone. What’s happening with that matter?” Zhan Yihan asked. What he cared the most about, right now, was whether Song Yiren was arrested. Originally, he wanted his friend who bred curses to put a curse on Song Yiren. However, it would take at least three to four days for the other party to get there.

He was worried that if Song Yiren saw that Jinyue was perfectly fine tomorrow, she would take other measures to deal with Jinyue. Although Jinyue had the ability to protect herself, he still did not know what the force behind the man in black was.. Hence, only by controlling Song Yiren could he rest assured.
