906 You Don't Know What You Have Missed Out On

Even at those highly regarded places, the experts did not have any good ideas. Yet, the young man said that the problem was not major, and it would be fine after just a few doses of medicine. It would be weird if they were not surprised.

"You will know after taking the medicine," Wang Yao said with a smile. He saw the doubt in the couple's eyes and smiled.

"Dr. Wang, we did not mean it that way," the woman hurriedly said.

"Would you please prescribe the medicine?"

"Sure."

After giving the child a consultation, two prescriptions had already formed in Wang Yao's mind. The would cool the blood and regulate the child's Yin and Yang. It would be especially effective after adding in a little antidote powder.

"Just a moment," he said.

After getting the medicinal materials, Wang Yao went into the next room to brew the medicines.

"Do you think Dr. Wang is reliable?" the man asked. "He is so young."

"Shush, keep your voice down. Do not let him hear you." The woman gave her husband a light slap.

"Well, I'm just worried," the man said. "He does not look reliable. He had better not treat our son's illness but create some other form of illness." As soon as he had seen Wang Yao's young face at the door, he had felt that the young man was not very reliable. He could not help it. He was too young. Even if he had learned medical skills from his mother when he was still in her womb, he would still only have about a dozen years of experience. In reality, that could not be that case. He thought that his wife must have been fooled.

"Since we are already here, let's give it a go," the woman said.

"It is not that I am not willing to pay the fees," the man said. "I am simply afraid that if his treatment doesn't have any effect and causes other problems four our son, the loss will outweigh the gain then."

"We should go to Jing, where the best hospitals in the country are," the man added.

"Instead of wasting time here."

"Wasting time? Oh my, what did I just hear?"

Just as they were talking, a man wearing jeans and a jacket came into the room. He seemed to be a little cynical.

"I am sorry," Jia Zizai said. "I did not mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. Since I heard something that I should not have heard, or should I say, something that I did not want to hear, I have to say a little more."

Just now, he had knocked on the door. He could Wang Yao's words ringing in his ear as if he were standing beside him. That did not surprise him at all. He pushed the door open and went inside. As he got closer to the room, he heard the conversation between the couple inside. He was not very happy.

"You are lucky to be here and receive treatment from Sir. Let me have a look. Ah, is the patient your son? Are you from Dao?"

"Who are you?" The man was a little upset with the unfolding situation. The man who came in, who they did not know, kept chattering away. The words he was spouting made no sense. He could not understand what the man was talking about.

"Well, I am Sir's disciple," Jia Zizai said.

"Sir? What Sir? Is someone teaching the doctor?"

"No, of course not," Jia Zizai said. "The one you just saw."

"What? The young man?" the couple asked in surprise.

"That is right. It is him," Jia Zizai said with a smile.

"Are you kidding? You must be at least 30 this year!"

"Ah, I have to say, your vision is not good. I am 32 this year," Jia Zizai said.

"You are already 32 years old. He can be barely 30 this year, yet you say you are his disciple. What do you learn from him?"

"Kung fu," Jia Zizai said with a smile, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"What the f*ck? Is this man crazy?" The man frowned. "Did he hire someone to increase sales?"

With a creak, the door of the room opened. Wang Yao came in with two bottles of medicine.

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing Wang Yao come in, Jia Zizai got up in a hurry. "Sir."

"Sit down. Here is the medicine." Wang Yao placed the medicine on the table.

"Ah, Dr. Wang, right? Actually, we just discussed it among ourselves. Sorry, but we do not want to seek treatment here anymore." The man did not care about his wife's actions and gaze, which called for him to stop. He went ahead and said what he thought.

"Are you sure?" Wang Yao was not angry, but he still asked them just the same.

"Yes."

"Alright, you can go." Wang Yao said.

"Wait, we can compensate you for your loss," the woman said. She thought her husband's words had been a little too abrupt.

"No need." Wang Yao waved his hand. "Come back when you have thought it through."

"Let's go." The man tugged on his wife, who was holding their child, and walked out.

"You take it easy." The woman seemed a little unhappy.

"I said this morning that we should not have come here, but you just would not listen," the man said. He was rather annoyed.

"It is purely a waste of time."

"Am I not doing this because of our child's illness?"

"Ah, he is too grumpy." Jia Zizai shook his head when he saw the situation.

"They have no idea what they have missed out on."

"Sir, there isn't a major problem with that child's illness, right?"

"There is no big problem for now, but it is hard to say after dragging it out for a long time," Wang Yao replied. It was easy for all small problems to turn into big problems after a long time.

"Ah, what a poor child."

"If it was me, I would think that way as well," Wang Yao said. After all, his age would indeed cause people who did not know the truth to overthink.

"What can I do for you?"

"Ah, I got some information regarding the place you asked me to inquire about last time."

"Tell me about it."

"Recently, there have been homicides in He County in southern Yunnan. There have been three cases and 19 people killed in less than half a month. According to the investigation, the murderer is likely someone from the Valley of Thousands of Medicine."

"Has he been caught?"

"He has escaped."

"Escaped?"

"Yes," Jia Zizai replied. "The suspect was found. He also caused another murder case in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. As two police officers were about to arrest him, they were put down by him with poison. The suspect ran off into the mountains and forests."

"What a coincidence!"

Jia Zizai thought, It is indeed a coincidence. I wonder how they felt watching the meat that was by their mouths fly away.

"Did those people all from being poisoned?"

"Yes, they were all poisoned," Jia Zizai said. "So far, the channel from which they had been poisoned has not been found. In the beginning, the toxin was not detected in their bodies. It was subjected to the leisurely local testing conditions."

"Whoever did it should be punished," Wang Yao said.

As a pharmacist, he harbored an extraordinary dislike for a villain who would kill people with poison. Although, in a sense, poison was also a kind of medicine.

"Yes, that young secretary has enough to worry about now. He is a county party secretary under the age of 30!"

"Is that so? Is he really that young?" Wang Yao asked. He knew the young man was probably quite worried about encountering more of these poisoning situations.

"His name is Guo Zhenghe," Jia Zizai said.

"Wait, what did you say his name was?"

"Guo Zhenghe."

"Does your friend have any information about him?"

"Yes, he just did a simple check. He was transferred from Jing less than two years ago. He had been a mayor before that. His father works in Qi Province. He is the governor."

"It is him?" Wang Yao was surprised upon hearing the information.

"Why, Sir? Do you know Guo Zhenghe?"

"Yes, in fact, I saved his life," Wang Yao said. That had been his first time using spirit grass to save someone.

"Is that so?" Jia Zizai was also surprised. "What a coincidence! So, does that mean that you guys are considered to be friends?"

"Friends? No, we can only be regarded as acquaintances. That kind of person is not suitable to be a friend."

"Huh?"

"His mind is too scheming."

"Ah, understood." Jia Zizai nodded.

"Tell your friends over there to pay more attention to their movements."

"OK."

In southern Yunnan, thousands of miles away…

In the dense jungle, a cross-country Jeep was moving forward across the bumpy road. It was a dirt road, and there were a lot of potholes.

Yang Guanfeng and his new partner, Lu Xiufeng, had received instructions. They were sitting in the car at the entrance to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine.

"Damn it, what kind of sh*tty road is this? How much longer do we have to go on?" Lu Xiufeng, who was driving, asked.

"Well, we've only traveled less than a third of the way. It's estimated that it will take us nearly two hours."

"Ah, I have had had enough. We should have gotten a helicopter to fly in directly."
