nt, they all forgot about their pain and showed a trace of fear on their faces as they stared blankly at everything happening around them."You! State your name!" Xiao Yu pointed at Liu Changfu who was...Chapter 461: Detoxifying Pill

The old man Dai had been watching Xiao Yu all along. Upon hearing his response, he wore a surprised expression and then gave Xiao Yu a thumbs up, admiration evident on his face.

To know that one could identify the cause of food poisoning by taste was not something that could be decided by talent or hard work; it relied heavily on experience, and lots of practical experience at that. So even he had never thought that someone as young as Xiao Yu could possess such rich experience, which was why he was surprised.

He believed that Xiao Yu was talented and diligent with a high level of understanding. If not for these qualities, Xiao Yu wouldn’t have achieved so much before reaching the age of thirty to earn the title of Master; such talent would be one in a thousand years.

But to say that Xiao Yu had rich experience made him highly skeptical. How old was Xiao Yu Even if he started practicing medicine from the age of twenty, it wouldn’t result in such extensive experience!

However, after hearing what Xiao Yu said just now, he couldn't help but believe it. Indeed, 'prodigies and normal people are incomparable; no matter what Xiao Yu claims to be able to cure in the future, I won't be surprised!' Looking at Xiao Yu, that's what the old man thought.

The old man retracted his gaze and started writing a prescription on paper. As he was accustomed to using calligraphy brushes like Xiao Yu, after letting the ink dry a bit, he handed it to Xiao Hongyang since Erxi and Yuan Chao were cleaning the toilet at the moment so only Xiao Hongyang could fetch the medicine.

Xiao Yu thought for a while then walked up to his consultation desk from where he took out a small porcelain bottle and came back.

"Eat this!" Xiao Yu took out a black pill about the size of peanut and handed it to the patient, saying.

This black pill was one of Xiao Yu’s homemade detoxifying pills. It consisted of ordinary herbs made using Judge Black's secret formula which had great effects in eliminating common poisons.

Recently, Xiao Yu planned on making a batch of these pills to be used for emergencies by the general public. Otherwise, it would be impossible for some emergency patients to wait until their medicine was boiled before they received treatment. Therefore, having such finished products was necessary.

The patient looked at the pill that Xiao Yu handed over with suspicion. Xiao Yu being too young made him feel uneasy, so he didn't take the pill but instead looked towards the old man since in his heart, only the old man could be trusted now and his companion as well.

The old man, Dai, noticed the patient looking at him and waiting for his response. He then took the pills from Xiao Yu's hand and smelled them.

"Here, take this! This can remove the toxins that your body has already absorbed!" After smelling the pills and recognizing most of the ingredients as detoxifying herbs, Old Man Dai explained their function to the patient.

Upon hearing Old Man Dai's words, without any hesitation, the patient quickly took the pills from Old Man Dai's hand and repeatedly thanked him. Xiao Yu, who had initially given the patient the pills, was long forgotten by then.

In his mind, because of Xiao Yu's young age, he probably just helped out at the clinic with minor tasks. Therefore, Xiao Yu received hardly any attention from him.

The patient swallowed the crushed pill and immediately felt a warm sensation rise in his stomach.

Suddenly, the heat in his stomach moved downward. The patient cried out and rushed to the bathroom while holding his stomach. Although he had initially been in so much pain that he could barely walk, after vomiting everything up, he was already feeling much better and now had enough strength to walk.

The patient stumbled towards the toilet. Erxi and Yuan Chao sighed inwardly as they saw this person run into the bathroom; they had just finished cleaning it thoroughly despite its nauseating smell.

Inside the bathroom, there was a series of loud sounds followed by another wave of foul odor coming out from under the closed door.

After more than ten minutes, someone opened the bathroom door from inside. As soon as the door opened, an overwhelming stench filled the air again, and Erxi and his companions instantly sprayed fresheners all around.

The patient leaned against the wall to come out of the toilet, crying out in pain upon exiting and closing the door behind him. It wasn't until more than half an hour later that he finally left the bathroom.

By this time, the patient was so weak his legs could barely hold him up, causing Erxi to rush over immediately to support him.

After only a few steps, the patient's companion came over and took over from Erxi, supporting the patient as they walked towards Old Man Dai.

Dai Laoye and Xiao Yu saw the patient's condition and couldn't help nodding; although the patient had already been vomiting, diarrheaing to the point of being unable to walk, their spirit seemed much better than before.

After seeing the patient's state, Dai Laoye glanced at Xiao Yu. He had smelled the medicine pills Xiao Yu gave him earlier and roughly knew it was for clearing residual toxins; however, he did not expect such a good effect. Within a short time, the patient’s condition significantly improved.

Dai Laoye noticed that Xiao Yu hadn’t been displaying these medicines openly but had taken them from his medical bag, leading Dai Laoye to instantly think this might be made according to a secret recipe of the Xiao family rather than ordinary detoxifying pills.

Then, Xiao Hongyang came over with medicine and placed it on Dai Laoye’s desk. Dai Laoye picked up the medicine from his desk and gave it to the patient: "There are instructions for usage and dosage written on this paper; after returning home, eat some liquid food or have some porridge to nourish your intestines!"

Due to both vomiting and diarrheaing, not only was the body depleted but even the intestines seemed injured.

The patient and his companion knew from Dai Laoye's words that he would be fine now; thus they left Wan Sheng Tang, expressing their gratitude profusely.

After sending off this patient, there was a temporary lull at Wan Sheng Tang. Xiao Yu didn’t say much more and returned to his consultation table.

When Erxi and Yuan Chao came back after cleaning the toilet, they looked at Dai Laoye with admiration; such severe food poisoning had been solved by him with just one needle.

In the afternoon, while Xiao Yu and others were seeing patients at Wan Sheng Tang, a police car stopped in front of Xiao Yu's clinic. A few policemen got out of the vehicle and headed towards Wan Sheng Tang.

"Excuse me, what can we do for you" As soon as these policemen entered the room, cashier Li Qing asked them.

"Heh heh, little girl, we're here to see Dr. Xiao!" After hearing the young lady's question, the leading policeman didn't get angry at all but smiled and said to Li Qing.

Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yu and others looked towards the entrance; when they recognized who was standing there, Xiao Yu stood up and asked: "Chief Wu, what is it Is anything the matter"

The leading police officer was in fact the Vice Party Secretary of the Public Security Bureau, Wu Shouye. The other individuals, although Xiao Yu couldn’t recall their specific names, were very familiar to him and clearly loyal followers of Wu Shouye.

Xiao Yu looked at Wu Shouye with a puzzled expression; it was clear that these people had something important on their minds, or else they wouldn't have arrived in police cars dressed in full uniforms. However, Xiao Yu didn’t know what exactly this matter could be about.

"Doctor Xiao…", the moment Wu Shouye started speaking, he suddenly stopped and looked around cautiously.

Seeing Wu Shouye’s demeanor, Xiao Yu knew there must have been something important going on, and it seemed to involve him. Otherwise, Wu Shouye wouldn’t act like this. But what could be his involvement

Xiao Yu couldn't figure out how he might be involved, but since there were no patients around at the moment, he didn't have anything to hide from others. He thus said, "Director Wu, just tell me what’s going on! It's fine!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Wu Shouye paused for a moment and then said, “Doctor Xiao, could you have offended someone”

It turned out that this morning, the Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs and the Director of Public Security, Zhang Enning, came to the bureau to gather his close confidants in order to apprehend Xiao Yu at Wansheng Hall. This was overheard by a policeman who had secretly aligned himself with Wu Shouye. Although this officer didn't know much about Wansheng Hall’s background, Wu Shouye had instructed him to look after it properly. Upon hearing Zhang Enning's words, the police officer quickly got in touch with Wu Shouye.

Upon receiving the news, Wu Shouye immediately summoned a few confidants and drove over without delay. He didn’t know Xiao Yu’s specific background, but he knew that the network of people backing Xiao Yu was extensive. Thus, when he came, he brought his closest aides along to ensure no one could take Xiao Yu away.

Seeing how Zhu Guoqing personally attended Wansheng Hall's opening ceremony for Xiao Yu’s sake, and noticing Zhu Guoqing’s subtle overtures towards the middle-aged man who seemed friendly with Xiao Yu—whom Zhu Guoqing seemed to treat with deference—he knew that this person was no ordinary figure. Also, there were those from Beijing with a distinctive accent, as well as Song Hushan of the Armed Police Force.

Given how these people treated Xiao Yu, Wu Shouye felt it worthwhile to take on Zhang Enning for his sake. Although there might be some risks involved, this could also serve as an opportunity to consolidate his control over the Public Security Bureau.

Hearing Wu Shouye’s words made Xiao Yu rather confused; he hadn’t offended anyone! He had just returned from Beijing and hadn't done anything these past few days!

"Hmm Wait, could it be because of him" Suddenly, Xiao Yu recalled Liang Shang from Dingtian Group. This Liang Shang had been beaten by him for five million yuan, leaving him disabled for life; furthermore, he seemed to be the brother-in-law of the Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs. On that day, when the middle-aged woman introduced herself as his sister, it implied... The more Xiao Yu thought about this possibility, the more likely it seemed. However, Xiao Yu didn’t care at all. Back then, while dealing with those small-time hooligans causing trouble here, he remembered Zhang Dahan had already gathered some evidence against that Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs; however, such matters were common in coastal regions where accepting gifts was considered normal.ng and others who came to attend the gathering were considered middle-ranking in the cultivation world, while the old man belonged to the top tier. If Xiao Yu didn't reveal his cultivation level, it w...
