o Yu. And as a ghost, he would definitely be no match for him. As a practitioner of the Mystic Arts, he understood their methods of dealing with ghosts. Therefore, when he saw Xiao Yu standing up and...Chapter 276: Joint Clinic Visit

"Captain, over here! The stench is coming from this spot!" Daba pointed to below that peculiar rock and said.

He then squatted down to search around the rock.

"Here, Captain! There's a hole right here!" Suddenly, Daba turned his head excitedly and shouted.

"Oh!" Zhang Dahan, who was originally walking slowly, rushed over with the rest of them upon hearing Daba’s words.

"Where Over there, Daba! Where exactly is it" The other soldiers gathered around and asked Daba.

"Right here! Right here!" After speaking, Daba reached his hand into the hole.

“Hmm… Captain, this hole doesn’t lead underground but rather to behind the rock!” Daba said with a surprised expression after inserting his hand inside.

"Oh Move aside, Daba. Everyone else, help me move the stone!" Zhang Dahan instructed.

Upon hearing Zhang Dahan’s words, Daba pulled his hand out of the small hole and together with the rest of the soldiers, they pushed away the peculiar rock above the hole.

Xiao Yu hid in a tree branch and saw that they had found the stone cave. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief; if they hadn’t been able to find it, Xiao Yu truly didn't know how to give them that material.

"Ugh... It’s so stinky!" As soon as the rock was pushed aside, a foul smell burst out from behind the stone. Xiaosan and Wang Fusheng covered their mouths upon smelling the stench and quickly stepped back.

Zhang Dahan's brows furrowed immediately when he smelt that pungent odor; others might not know what it was, but Zhang Dahan knew very well. Back then at the border, this kind of smell wasn't uncommon to him.

The rest of the soldiers frowned too upon smelling the stench, but no one said anything. This bit of stink didn’t matter much to them; during their training they had even stayed in manure pits before, so what’s a little stench

"Captain! There's a stone cave here!" One of the soldiers shouted at Zhang Dahan as soon as the rock was pushed aside.

“Mm!” Upon hearing that, Zhang Dahan nodded in response. He had already seen the hole earlier too.

Once the peculiar rock was moved away, all these soldiers turned their attention to within the cave; since they were carrying flashlight lamps, it instantly illuminated as bright as day inside the cave.

"Captain, there seems to be a dead body inside!" Da Bao said to Zhang Dahan.

"Hmm, you guys step aside. I'll go in and take a look!" Zhang Dahan replied and spoke to the soldiers blocking the entrance.

"Captain, let me go instead!" Da Bao and the other soldiers said together.

"No need, I'll handle it." After saying that, Zhang Dahan crawled into the cave.

After entering the cave, Zhang Dahan looked at the decomposed corpse with a frown. The body was so rotten that its features were unrecognizable. Suddenly, he noticed a leather bag next to the corpse.

Zhang Dahan picked up the bag and opened it, finding a stack of paper inside. He pulled them out and took a look. When he saw the contents on the papers, his expression immediately changed drastically.

Without any hesitation after reading the contents clearly, Zhang Dahan hurriedly came out holding the leather bag with those documents.

"Find something to carry that body back!" Zhang Dahan anxiously instructed the soldiers. As he spoke, he tightly gripped the documents in his hand.

"Captain, what's wrong What is this about Who could be inside" The soldiers asked upon seeing Zhang Dahan's expression.

Zhang Dahan glanced at these soldiers; he trusted them and didn't blame them for asking because it was related to a secret. Furthermore, they were the most reliable people who would never betray him, or else they wouldn’t have been part of the Thirteenth Unit, which itself symbolized secrecy. Not to mention that their missions were also top-secret.

In addition, with the intelligence network of the Thirteenth Unit, some secrets weren't actually classified anymore for them. Besides, this matter had a significant connection to them.

"The things inside are what your former captain couldn’t retrieve, and that corpse in there might be responsible for killing your former captain and those fellow soldiers."

Zhang Dahan waved the papers he was holding at the soldiers as he spoke.

“What”

"Is it true Captain…"

………………

The soldiers were stunned for a moment upon hearing Zhang Dahan's words, then all of them looked at him with disbelief and asked in shock.

Zhang Dahan also nodded solemnly, glancing at the materials in his hand. The former captain and several soldiers from Deep Sea Thirteen had lost their lives for these materials; he never expected to find them so easily.

The soldiers confirmed this and fell silent, silently returning to the car to retrieve items needed to transport the rotting corpse. However, as they looked at the corpse, their faces were filled with resentment, wishing to dismember it utterly.

Xiao Yu watched all of this from a tree branch and even clearly heard their conversation. He sighed softly, seeing that everyone was focused on the corpse. He then leaped down from the tree quietly under the cover of night and ran towards his car.

When Xiao Yu returned to the clinic, he let out a deep sigh. He never expected such a coincidence but thought it best; at least the deceased soldiers could rest in peace now.

Xiao Yu pushed all these disordered thoughts from his mind and sat cross-legged on the floor with calmness. He deeply felt the inadequacy of his current strength, hardly sleeping at night, instead choosing to meditate.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu's meditation could replace sleep; after a night of meditation, he was even more energetic than if he had slept.

Xiao Yu’s days passed by treating patients during the day and meditating at night.

"Who among you is a doctor"

One day, while Xiao Yu sat in Wan Sheng Hall discussing medical insights with Xiao Hongyang, a rather arrogant voice sounded from outside.

"Please sit down. We are all doctors! Where do you feel discomfort" said Xiao Hongyang with a smile.

The man scanned both Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang before walking up to Xiao Hongyang: "You’ll come with me, see a patient."

Seeing the man’s demeanor, both Xiao Yu and Xiao Hongyang frowned but remained silent; they had seen all kinds of people in their clinic, so despite frowning, neither said anything.

Furthermore, it was irrelevant to them how he acted; they treated patients regardless.

Xiao Hongyang stood up upon being called and packed his medical supplies: "Master, I’ll be back shortly."

"Alright," nodded Xiao Yu.

The man chose the older Xiao Hongyang for seeking traditional Chinese medicine. In fact, regardless of what kind of medicine was needed, people first approached Xiao Hongyang after entering.

But upon hearing Xiao Hongyang’s response and seeing his attitude towards Xiao Yu, he looked at Xiao Yu in puzzlement: "All of you will come; I’ll pay double!

"Actually, there's no need for two people to go; just one person is enough. It would be a waste of money if more people went!" Although Xiao Yu didn't like this person's attitude, he still said kindly.

The man glanced at Xiao Yu with a bad mood and said, "If our boss tells you to go, then you must go! Our boss is not short on money!

When Xiao Yu heard the words of this person, he was stunned. He thought to himself, 'Alright, my kindness has been treated like stinky liver.' However, who could know that they were his clients Thinking about it, Xiao Yu stood up and put his things back into the medical bag. "Our consultation fee is 1,000 yuan per person; any other fees will be discussed after we have seen the patient."

The man frowned slightly when he heard what Xiao Yu said and looked at him. "A consultation fee of 1,000 yuan Okay, but your medical skills need to match up with this amount!"

"You're mistaken. This isn't about the quality of my medical skills! It's just the consultation fee; we can discuss other fees after seeing the patient."

Xiao Yu put the medical bag on the table and said, "For this person, I currently have no goodwill towards him at all, but since I run a clinic, it wouldn't be proper for me to say anything. I'm just raising my consultation fee."

When he heard Xiao Yu's words, the man’s eyebrows twitched. Their boss had invited experts from every major hospital in the deep sea area. Many hospitals charged higher consultation fees than this one here, but those were all famous doctors from big hospitals, whereas this was just a small clinic asking for such a high consultation fee.

"Hmm... Okay then. Let's go!" The man looked at Xiao Yu with amazement and said.

These days he had visited many clinics like Xiao Yu’s, but everyone there would look up to him in awe or even waive the consultation fee just to see him. Only Xiao Yu dared to ask for such a high fee. He wanted to turn around and leave, but after thinking about it, he agreed to go along. In his heart, he thought, 'If you can't treat my boss's illness properly, you'll know this money isn't easy to get!'

In fact, he had no choice. They had invited every expert from the major hospitals in the deep sea area, but none of them could cure their boss's illness. These days, he had visited all the famous clinics in the deep sea area; each doctor talked a good game, but not one of them could help.

That was why today his boss sent him out again to look for doctors, and upon seeing Xiao Yu’s clinic, he came inside to take a look.

He would be polite towards those famous doctors from the deep sea area, but with these ordinary clinics’ doctors, he showed off his arrogance. He thought it was an honor to let such small-time doctors see his boss; therefore, he always acted like he was superior to everyone else.

"Follow me; my car is over there!" The man led Xiao Yu and the others towards the parking lot. When they stopped, he said to them, "Get in my car."

Xiao Yu replied, "No need, you lead the way! We have our own car."

The man didn't say anything more when he heard Xiao Yu's words and got into his car. His car was a Passat provided by his company. When driving past Xiao Yu’s group, he saw that their car was a Q7. He was momentarily stunned; 'When did doctors from small clinics start driving such good cars'

"Hmph..."

The man glanced at the driver of Xiao Yu's car and sneered coldly before speeding away in his own vehicle.everyone was too scared by Cao Er's appearance and dared not move. Even the attendants retreated a few steps.The faces of both attendants turned deathly pale; anyone could see what Cao Er was planning...
