be resolved quickly; otherwise, the incident might become nationally notorious.At that time, no one could guarantee their safety, but if Xiao Yu went to the police station with him, things would be d...Miao Shou Tian Shi sodu
After drinking Xiao Yu's medicine, within a few minutes, the expressions of the injured twisted in agony, with black blood continuously oozing from their mouths.
The doctors, seeing this condition of the patients, turned to look at Xiao Yu. From the looks of it, instead of detoxifying them, they seemed to have been poisoned further. Thus, all the doctors stared doubtfully at him.
Xiao Yu did not answer their gazes but kept his eyes fixed on these patients, watching closely for any changes in their conditions.
After a while, the expressions of those injured gradually eased and the black hue on their faces faded away. The wounds that Xiao Yu had slashed showed more black blood seeping out; as this dark blood continued to flow, the black mist around them started dissipating.
Xiao Yu stared at these wounds until they began bleeding red again before he finally relaxed his expression.
Seeing their wounds now bleeding red, Xiao Yu pulled out the golden needles from near the wounds and retrieved more needles to pierce nearby. Afterward, the blood flowing from those deep gashes gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.
"Alright, bandage them up!" Upon seeing that these people had stopped bleeding, he turned towards the doctors and said.
Xiao Yu knew that these people needed to be hospitalized. All he could do was help clear out their toxins; after all, they were customers of the antique shop, whose families hadn’t arrived yet. If the patients' relatives saw them in such a state but without hospitalization, just treated by an outpatient clinic doctor, those families wouldn't be happy about it either. After all, ordinary folks trusted hospitals more.
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, these doctors looked at the condition of the patients and realized that their lives had been saved. Knowing what he meant, they quickly got to work bandaging them up.
"Doctor Xiao, how are they" Fangyuan’s voice sounded from behind when Xiao Yu was watching the doctors treat the injured.
"President Fang, you've come They're fine now; just need some rest and recovery time," said Xiao Yu upon seeing Fangyuan at the door.
“Oh, that's great!” Upon hearing what Xiao Yu had to say, Fangyuan looked delightedly relieved. If these people died in the antique shop, it would severely affect its reputation; besides financial compensation, they could lose a lot of business due to this incident. Hence, he was very pleased with the situation and realized just needed some minor compensations for everything.
"Alright, I'll be going back now," Xiao Yu said to Fangyuan before leaving as these people's toxins had been completely cleared out and all they required was time to recuperate.
Fangyuan nodded upon hearing this; he knew that Xiao Yu wouldn’t stay here indefinitely anyway. Who could control him when he decided to leave Furthermore, the patients were saved by Xiao Yu.
Seeing Fangyuan’s nod, Xiao Yu left and hailed a cab to head towards Wansheng Hall.
The area of the antique shop had returned to normal; traffic was restored and onlookers dispersed.
Those who gathered here hoped for some entertainment but only saw Xiao Yu jumping off the building. They didn’t know what exactly happened.
Even the police officers were clueless about the situation until now. Only those armed forces personnel and security guards understood it better.
The gate of Wan Sheng Tang was now closed, and Xiao Yu had taken what he needed and left as well, driving towards his villa.
"Ring... Ring..." Halfway through his journey, Xiao Yu's phone rang. Checking the caller ID, it showed a call from Zhou Cheng.
"Hello, Captain Zhou, do you have something to tell me" Xiao Yu asked after picking up the phone.
"Sir, we've found those mole rats; however, one of them is already dead. It looks like he was bitten by that venomous insect!"
Hearing Xiao Yu's inquiry, Zhou Cheng informed him about this.
After learning that everything stemmed from these mole rats, Zhou Cheng had started searching for them everywhere. What does the Thirteenth Division do Finding people is effortless for them, so Zhou Cheng had just found those mole rats in a small hospital.
Given the magnitude of this incident and how it has caused quite a stir here, they needed to locate these mole rats.
When they rushed there, one of the mole rats bitten by the corpse insect was already dead and had been taken to the morgue. As such, Zhou Cheng and his team also went to inspect the body in the morgue. They noticed that the person was covered in black-purple bruises; although his face was unrecognizable, the way he died confirmed their suspicions. Earlier at the antique city, when they carried out those injured patients, Xiao Yu had seen them too—similarly covered in a pale layer of blue-black discoloration.
Upon hearing Zhou Cheng's report, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "You can handle it however you see fit."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu sighed inwardly. He couldn't do anything about this situation; if this person had merely committed other crimes, Xiao Yu might have saved him. But since they were involved in tomb raiding, which is highly damaging to one's karma and could cause drastic changes in feng shui if graves are desecrated, countless descendants of the grave owners would suffer.
For this reason, Xiao Yu chose not to intervene to save them; apart from tomb raiders deserving death for their actions, the karmic retribution brought upon himself by saving these mole rats deterred him.
To make matters worse, due to those mole rats' meddling at the antique city, a major incident would have erupted if Xiao Yu hadn't intervened. If that had happened, they would all face severe consequences for their actions.
Despite this, Xiao Yu could not help but sigh over another life lost before his eyes. However, he didn't regret his decision; it was merely due to the lamentation of a life's demise.
A few minutes later, Xiao Yu rallied himself and continued driving home. He had no interest in dealing with the other mole rats who would receive legal punishment anyway—no need for him to take action.
Regarding such matters, unless they involved extraordinary circumstances or truly heinous individuals, Xiao Yu wouldn't intervene. Therefore, these mole rats were left to Zhou Cheng's handling.
"Doctor Xiao, come over and have dinner with us! Mr. Jin is waiting for you inside!" When Xiao Yu returned to the villa complex and passed by Jin Xianglin’s house, he saw Xiao Jingru standing at the villa entrance waiting for him.
After settling matters at the antique city today, Jin Xianglin and his wife left the top floor of the antique city and returned home. Given what happened today, they felt uneasy staying there and decided to stay in their villa instead. Fortunately, Xiao Yu had already returned from his hometown, so there was no major issue with them residing in their house.
"Alright, Miss Xiao, I'll head over after dropping off the car!" Upon hearing Xiao Jingru's words, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and replied.
In the past, because Jin Xiu Zhu was around, Xiao Yu didn't want to come to Jin Xianglin's house. Jin Xianglin also guessed that Xiao Yu disliked her presence; it was evident in his demeanor towards her. Moreover, they couldn't disclose any of the miracles Jin Xiu Zhu had experienced and were afraid she might offend Xiao Yu. With Xiao Yu’s capabilities… they dared not imagine what consequences would follow if something went wrong. Hence, a month ago, they sent Jin Xiu Zhu to Europe for studies.
Xiao Yu was also aware of this situation; after learning that Jin Xiu Zhu had gone abroad, he finally let out a long sigh. He had been thoroughly annoyed by her antics but couldn't vent his frustration due to their consideration and thus deliberately avoided her.
However, since Jin Xiuzhu is no longer around, Xiao Jingru's invitation was accepted. If Jin Xiuzhu were still there, he would have declined.
Xiao Yu parked the car and went home to tell Dai Yuxin before heading over to Jin Xianglin’s place for a dinner that lasted until ten o'clock at night.
After returning home, Xiao Yu also meditated in the underground crypt as his yin soul was very weak. He couldn't even leave his body normally now; if he did try to do so, it might disperse due to his weakened condition. Those mysterious patterns could have saved him once, but who knew if they would help again Since saving Zhu Simiao, Xiao Yu’s yin soul had never left his body.
In the ancient tomb, in the Three Yin Converging Evil Energy place, the evil energy was relatively pure and easier to refine. This environment greatly benefited his yin soul's recovery.
Xiao Yu sat quietly inside the ancient tomb, meditating and recovering his yin soul.
The next day, after eating breakfast made by Dai Yuxin, Xiao Yu left home and drove towards Wan Sheng Hall.
These days, there weren't many patients at Wan Sheng Hall possibly due to it being right after the New Year. As a result, Xiao Yu and his team had some free time but they didn’t waste it. Whenever they were free, Xiao Yu would discuss Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) issues with Elder Dai.
These discussions did not involve their family's core secret recipes; they only discussed case studies. Xiao Hongyang found these discussions very interesting to listen to.
Although Xiao Hongyang was skilled in medicine, he was far behind Xiao Yu and his team in terms of knowledge about TCM, so he benefited greatly from listening to the discussions.
The discussions between Xiao Yu and his team were too profound for Yuan Chao and Er Xi to comprehend; they found it hard to follow. Fortunately, Xiao Hongyang would take some time each day to teach them basic knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Xiao Yu's days passed quietly like this. Although Wan Sheng Hall saw many patients every day, with the addition of Elder Dai, there were three doctors in total, so they didn't seem overly busy.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..." On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, while Xiao Yu was reading medical books at Wan Sheng Hall, a loud shout sounded from outside.
Hearing this voice, a smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face. He recognized it as Wei Jun's; he hadn't come for quite some time. Since Wei Jun went to their family company, he had been busy getting familiar with the business and was always very busy day and night. Xiao Yu invited him twice to have dinner but both times were unsuccessful.
"Haha, Brother Jun, you're free today" As soon as Wei Jun finished talking, he walked in. Seeing Wei Jun, Xiao Yu smiled lightly and said.
"Hehe, insulting me again I happened to be passing by here so I thought I'd drop by! By the way, Xiao Yu, I received a call from our school's student union two days ago; it’s our sixtieth anniversary in three days. They asked me to notify our class of students to attend if they could!"
Hearing this, Wei Jun laughed and said.
"Oh, the anniversary I don't think I'll go then," Xiao Yu replied after a moment of hesitation upon hearing Wei Jun's words. Xiao Yu had no interest in school events; back when he was a student, apart from his basketball buddies, he didn’t have many friends.
"Come on! Brother Two, Three, and Five are all coming!" Knowing Xiao Yu would refuse, as soon as the words were out of Xiao Yu's mouth, Wei Jun said to him.
"They're also coming Hmm... Then I'll go for a visit," After hearing that their basketball team brothers would be there, Xiao Yu thought about it and agreed.
"Great! Brother Two will probably return tomorrow. I’ll contact you then!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's agreement, Wei Jun laughed heartily.
Wei Jun knew Xiao Yu would agree because they hadn’t seen each other for over half a year. It was the perfect opportunity to catch up.
When Wei Jun finished speaking, he left Wan Sheng Tang. Now he understood the difficulty of running a company; in the past, he saw his father handling everything effortlessly with professional managers taking care of business affairs. He never expected that once he joined in, he would realize how challenging it was to manage such a large corporation.
Moreover, his family's company had officially started cooperating with Hu Shan Group, making him busier than ever without any personal time. He hadn't seen his girlfriend for many days as well. During these initial days of cooperation with Hu Shan Group, he stayed at the office to make a good impression.
A day passed quickly. On the second day, around 2 PM, Wei Jun went to Wan Sheng Tang and left with Xiao Yu to pick up their brothers from the airport.
When Xiao Yu and his friends arrived at the airport, it was already past three in the afternoon, but their flight wouldn't land until four. Thus, they waited there.
After the announcement that the plane had landed, both of them headed to the arrival gate.
Among these basketball buddies—number two Wang Chengzhi, number three Zhang Qiuzhan, and number five Guo Liang—plus Wei Jun as number one, they were considered Xiao Yu's closest friends from school days.
All of them were Zhejiang natives where people never lacked money. Moreover, these brothers had good family backgrounds; hence, after graduation, all three returned to their hometowns in Zhejiang.
Out of the trio, except for number two who became a doctor, the others didn't secure steady jobs and indulged in leisurely activities. Fortunately, they came from wealthy families that could support them.
Motherly and fatherly love spoiled number three and five, allowing them to continue their carefree lifestyle.
"Number two, number three, number five over here!" Suddenly, three figures appeared in the distance. Wei Jun's face lit up with a smile as he waved at his friends.
Upon hearing Wei Jun’s call and spotting him, all three laughed loudly and rushed towards them.
"Haha! Boss, number four!" After hugging Xiao Yu and Wei Jun one by one, the trio greeted them with a question.
The five of them chatted warmly at the airport before heading out together.
"Hey, has number four bought a car It's even a Q7! I only recently got my parents to buy me one. Originally, I thought I could show off mine with you guys, but it seems like number four already owns one."
Once outside the airport, Xiao Yu showed his friends his car and told them to get in. When they saw Xiao Yu's vehicle, all three were surprised since they knew about his family situation and didn't expect him to quietly purchase such a good car.
"Yeah, I've had it for a few months," Xiao Yu nodded when he heard the remark.
"You guys don't know! Number four’s medical skills are simply unparalleled. Buying a car is nothing difficult for him now and he even opened his own clinic which has been booming."
Hearing this, Wei Jun smiled broadly and informed them.
“Um… look, look, I told you guys, third brother truly hides his talent! At the beginning of school, when the teacher asked who could recite 'The Song of Decoctions', that's when I knew fourth brother’s family background in traditional Chinese medicine. He just didn’t show it off before. It turns out I was right all along!”
Upon hearing Wei Jun's words, everyone was stunned because they were aware of Xiao Yu's outstanding academic performance at the time. One man wearing a brown jacket and a pair of golden-rimmed glasses spoke up.
The speaker was number five Guo Liang among their group. He entered school in the same year as Xiao Yu but wasn't in the same class, though sometimes they had joint lectures together. RSed more reliable than the two of them.In the afternoon, while chatting with Dai Lao, a few people suddenly walked in—looking like construction workers. They were supporting someone else who also looke...
