e twice since he arrived, and apart from appearing slightly weaker, there was no sign that it was about to lose its soul."I don't intend to cause trouble with you; I just want to take her away!" Xiao...Chapter 93: Anger
Seeing Xiao Yu carefully and reluctantly take out a jade box, Director Hu and the first-class cabin passengers as well as those around Xiao Yu in the aircraft cabin all looked at the jade box in his hand, wondering what could be inside Could it possibly be some kind of miraculous medicine often seen on TV Didn’t those things always come in jade boxes
Xiao Yu slowly opened the jade box. Inside were over ten slices resembling ginger slices, unremarkable and ordinary-looking, causing a wave of disappointment among people who had expected something miraculous, only to find it was just some ginger slices.
Director Hu also showed a puzzled look as he looked at what was in the jade box. Although this item wasn’t eye-catching, he knew from Xiao Yu’s attitude towards it that it must be extraordinary.
Despite everyone's disappointment and confusion, a forty-something man sitting in first class had his eyes light up with excitement upon seeing the item in Xiao Yu’s hand.
Xiao Yu took out one slice and gently closed the box. At this moment, the middle-aged man pushed past those blocking him to get to Xiao Yu, his face filled with enthusiasm as he asked, "Young man, may I see what you have in your hands"
Xiao Yu glanced at the man and handed over the item. The man examined it closely and sniffed it, immediately inhaling a faint fragrance that left him entranced: "Ah! This is something good indeed! Your ginseng must be from an ancient root, right Will you sell it to me I'll buy them all at twenty thousand per slice!"
Xiao Yu shook his head and took the ginseng slice back from the man before handing it to the heavily made-up girl: "Chew it up and feed him."
Upon hearing that a single piece of what they had thought was ginger, but in fact ginseng, could be worth twenty thousand, everyone inside the cabin stared with wide eyes. Considering these people from economy class only earned around ten or twenty thousand per year, such a small slice being worth twenty thousand was unbelievable. Yet this young man casually gave it away to a stranger.
"Ah..." Seeing Xiao Yu give away something so valuable for someone he didn't even know, the man tried to stop him but stopped himself when realizing that wasn’t his property to control. However, a look of regret couldn't be withheld from his face.
Even Director Hu showed an expression of surprise. Twenty thousand was no small amount; it was equivalent to his annual income. Could he really give away such a sum for a stranger After pondering this question, the answer remained negative for Director Hu.
Moreover, Xiao Yu was just an intern doctor at a small clinic, earning no more than 3,000 yuan per month. Yet he could regard 200,000 yuan as nothing, which immediately earned him admiration. To put it into perspective, this amount would be equal to his earnings over five or six years.
Seeing that Xiao Yu had initially shown some reluctance but later remained calm and composed, even when instructing the girl to chew up the ginseng without changing his expression.
Clap clap clap... Clap clap...
Someone started clapping first, followed by enthusiastic applause from everyone in the cabin. Even those in first-class joined in. Regardless of whether Xiao Yu could cure the middle-aged man on the ground, his spirit was worthy of such admiration.
In today's materialistic society, cases of people killing over a few thousand yuan are countless. But Xiao Yu’s broad-mindedness is truly admirable and respectable.
The passengers in first-class might all be wealthy individuals who donate millions annually to charity, but those donations only account for one percent or less of their annual income. However, looking at Xiao Yu's attire and the fact that he was seated in economy class suggests that he isn't a wealthy individual. Therefore, his actions are even more admirable.
The heavily made-up girl put the ginseng slice into her mouth and chewed it up; the fragrance filled her mouth. She wished she could swallow all of it but seeing so many people watching her, she gave up and instead secretly swallowed a small amount before passing on the rest to the middle-aged man lying on the ground.
Xiao Yu then took a cup from the flight attendant’s hand and helped the man drink it down.
Ginseng is especially effective in replenishing deficiencies caused by yin deficiency. Furthermore, Xiao Yu's ginseng was at least three hundred years old, wild mountain ginseng. Nowadays, finding a single piece of such ancient wild ginseng would be as difficult as climbing to the sky; even pieces decades-old are hard to come by, perhaps only available in some老字號傳承了幾百年的店鋪。
"Young man, my name is Liu Benchang. Here's my business card. If you're willing to sell it, please contact me! The price I offer for each slice of ginseng will be higher than 200,000 yuan!" Liu Benchang handed a business card to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu looked at the card; it read: Liu Benchang, General Manager of Renhe Hall Group Corporation. Phone number: 138.
Renhe Hall's Xiao Yu had also heard of it; its headquarters is located in the capital city. As an old brand with over a century of history, there are more than thirty to forty branches across the country, making Renhe Hall one of the most renowned pharmaceutical chain institutions nationwide.
Although under current circumstances, Renhe Hall mainly sells Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine still accounts for a significant portion. At least in the deep sea area, Renhe Hall has the most complete range of Chinese herbs, and its principle is to never sell counterfeit drugs, especially not when it comes to medicinal herbs. This alone made Xiao Yu feel positively inclined towards Renhe Hall.
Upon seeing that this man was the general manager of Renhe Hall, Xiao Yu looked at him in surprise before putting away his business card. It seems that Renhe Hall still has a good reputation among the public.
"Um..." After about ten minutes, the man lying on the ground took a deep breath and slowly came to.
The heavily made-up girl looked at Xiao Yu hesitantly when she saw the middle-aged man wake up. Upon nodding in agreement, Xiao Yu said: "Help him sit up."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, the heavily made-up girl acted as if receiving an imperial decree and quickly helped the middle-aged man to a seat. As people noticed that he had regained consciousness, they dispersed, and Director Hu left Xiao Yu with his contact details before returning to the first-class cabin.
Although the middle-aged man was now awake, his body still felt quite weak as he sat motionless in his seat. Soon enough, the ginseng's medicinal effects began to take effect, gradually restoring his spirits.
The heavily made-up girl whispered something into the middle-aged man's ear once she saw him regain consciousness and occasionally glanced at Xiao Yu.
"Thank you! Thank you very much, young brother!" The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yu with astonishment upon hearing his words. Knowing that Xiao Yu had spent 200,000 yuan to save him, he expressed his gratitude repeatedly to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu shrugged indifferently and did not respond but instead turned to look out the window.
Seeing how accommodating Xiao Yu was, the middle-aged man felt that it would be easy to talk with him. He rolled his eyes around before smiling triumphantly as he poked Xiao Yu, speaking in a low tone: "Young brother, you have spent 200,000 yuan saving me. How about this then I can't repay your life-saving favor, but how about I prevent you from spending your own money"
When Xiao Yu suddenly felt that the middle-aged man's words were very strange, he couldn't help but say, "Just tell me what you want to say!"
"Hehe, little brother is smart; one hint and it all makes sense. It's like this: right now I don't have any money on me, the money is in my wife's hands. That yellow-faced woman treasures her money more than her life and won't give me a cent. Later on you can come with me back home, we'll talk to her and tell her that you saved me by using a ginseng worth 500,000 yuan. Once she gives us the money, I’ll give you half of it, which is 250,000 yuan, so will I. This means that this time you earn 50,000 yuan saving me! You should know that a young person like you might not be able to make 50,000 yuan in a year!"
After listening to what the middle-aged man said, Xiao Yu's anger was about to explode. Although their behavior at the time wasn't proper, it didn’t justify death. Moreover, if that man had not acted immediately and saved him, he wouldn't have made it back. So without hesitation, Xiao Yu took action and even used a slice of ginseng left by his maternal grandfather without feeling any regret. This kind of thing cannot be measured in money. To know that such precious ginseng is almost extinct nowadays and can save lives at critical moments.
He never expected to save someone like this person. Not only did he violate his principles, although it was unintentional, he still violated them, but he even used a life-saving medicine and saved a scumbag in the end. The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. Since he hadn't fully recovered when searching for Wan Jiayi's soul, now he couldn't hold back the blood rising to his throat any longer. Xiao Yu quickly found a handkerchief and covered his mouth as he coughed.
After finishing his coughing fit, Xiao Yu carefully opened the handkerchief, revealing a fresh red stain of blood on it.
The middle-aged man and heavily made-up girl immediately moved away from Xiao Yu when they saw him cough up blood. The middle-aged man whispered to the heavily made-up girl, "Let's stay far away from him; he might have tuberculosis! That thing is contagious!"
"Yeah, godfather, I said so in the beginning! He had iron wire tied to his head, which must mean something is wrong with him. You think he won't die on the plane" The girl looked at Xiao Yu cautiously after hearing the middle-aged man's words and let out a sigh of relief when she saw that he was looking out the window.
The man shook his head and said, "No way, if what you say is true, this person is a doctor with valuable ginseng on him! I don't think he'll die on the plane, at least not before getting off it."
After thinking for a moment, the girl nodded in agreement after some time and said, "Godfather really is amazing!"
The man smiled smugly upon hearing the heavily made-up girl's compliment.
Although their voices were low, Xiao Yu's senses had become much sharper since he practiced the righteous qi technique. He heard every single word they said without missing a thing.undoubtedly complex.They could ignore Dr. Xiao's background if they wanted to, but the call from Ms. Xiao Jingru left them feeling uneasy because their company relied on her company for support in ord...
