Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 842 - The Truth Reveals

Translator: Thyaeria

Wang Rui entered the courtyard to see his wife sobbing. He felt his heart aching to look at his wife and immediately walked over, “Su Tao came.”

“What has he come?” Dong Yun knitted her brows together. “Even if the death note was fake, it was undeniable that he and Guofeng were enemies! The Wang Family doesn’t welcome him!”

“I thought that he came to cause trouble, but I was surprised. He gave us a difficult problem.” Wang Rui sighed.

“What problem?” Dong Yun became alert in the next second.

Placing the bottle on the desk, Wang Rui explained, “The child’s hair is in the bottle. He called us to conduct a DNA test. You previously mentioned that the child might belong to Wang Guofeng, and Su Tao sounded pretty confident about it.”

“WHAT?!” Dong Yun exclaimed out. She immediately held onto the bottle and asked, “Did he really send it over? Why are you still standing here for?! Get the DNA test done immediately!”

A grandfather and grandson can get their verification done by looking at their Y chromosome. The Y chromosome came from the paternal lineage. It was something that could only be passed down from the father to the child. It held the characteristics of the father. It also meant that between a grandfather and grandson or even brothers, they would share similar Y chromosomes.

Dong Yun then plucked a strand of hair from Wang Rui before the latter could even respond. Wang Rui yelled out in pain as he was speechless when he looked at his wife. He wanted to flare up, but he couldn’t find a reason.

“Why are you still standing here for? Call someone you know to get it done!” Dong Yun urged. “Find a reliable friend. I want the results tomorrow!”

Wang Rui was speechless when he heard that. “Can you have some common sense? The process will take at least a week! The first test requires two days, and more tests are required to make the test more accurate. The procedure requires another laboratory staff to conduct the test once more. That’s only two rounds, and not to mention that the third might be required if there are any mistakes done. At the very least, two tests are required to get a conclusion.”

“I don’t care! Get someone you know to conduct the test immediately! There’s no need for a second round of tests either. If there’s no issue on the first test, we can practically determine that he’s my grandson!” Dong Yun replied emotionally. “He has the same birthmark as Guofeng, and there can’t be so many coincidences in the world!”

In the end, Wang Rui could only nod his head. He already had a candidate in mind — an authority in this field. He then made the phonecall before Dong Yun.

Dong Yun knew that her husband was very concerned about this matter. Otherwise, Wang Rui would never make the call personally with his temperament as it would mean that he might have to owe a favor.

Half an hour later after Wang Rui had sorted out the connections, Dong Yun left with the bottle and a strand of Wang Rui’s hair for the laboratory.

Wang Rui sighed out in relief. At this moment, he was looking at Su Tao in a new light. It was no wonder that Wang Guofeng couldn’t be comparable to Su Tao. Based on his breadth of mind alone, Wang Guofeng was pale compared to Su Tao.

In actual fact, the reason why Su Tao wasn’t disgusted by the Wang Family’s Pharmacy was because of his admiration for Wang Rui and Wang Xi.

Wang Guofeng had violated medical ethics, but Wang Rui and Wang Xi did not cover up for him. On the contrary, they barred him from the medical industry!

Medical ethics was of utmost importance in TCM. If your medical ethics was poor, it was impossible for you to become a reputable physician regardless of your grades.

As for Dong Yun, she was a poor woman who had her eyes blinded by Wang Guofeng’s death. From how she sent over the compensation the next day meant that the Wang Family was still reasonable.

Aside from that, the Wang Family’s Pharmacy did not take revenge for Ling Yu’s refusal to join their pharmacy. From that alone, Su Tao could see the breadth of mind that the Wang Family’s Pharmacy had.

Su Tao returned to the Three Flavour Hall for consultations. The popularity of the Three Flavour Hall wasn’t affected despite the incident yesterday. They still received an endless flow of patients. As Su Tao didn’t have anything better to do, he joined in on the consultation as well.

Many patients came when they heard that Su Tao was around today. So even if Su Tao had been trying to process each patient as quickly as he could, the queue wasn’t decreasing. As a result, Su Tao only felt relieved of the pressure once he stopped the appointment in the afternoon.

After Su Tao received his last patient, Chen Rui came in with a smile, “Boss, you broke the records today and received 92 patients!”

“There’s nothing great about that. I was mainly focusing on treating the patients. Being fast doesn’t equate to being efficient. Ling Yu has a sturdy foundation, and he’s more patient than me when it comes to treating patients.” Su Tao smiled as he waved his hand.

Chen Rui shook her head, “You don’t have to be humble. All the patients who were treated by you were all filled with praises for you.”

Su Tao replied with a bitter smile, “We have to limit that in the future. Oh, I won’t take a dime from the consultations today. Split them with all the employees.”

Although there weren’t any difficult illnesses to treat today, Su Tao saw a total of 92 patients! He took 5 minutes on average for each patient, which equate to a total of 7 hours! Su Tao was ultimately a human despite his medical skills. It was still a challenging 7 hours for him!

Chen Rui left the room with a smile. As she calculated, each employee would receive ¥300-400 on average. It was a considerable bonus!

When Su Tao stretched himself, Chen Rui suddenly returned, “Someone is looking for you. She claimed to be your acquaintance.”

“Bring her in then!” Su Tao nodded.

Su Tao didn’t wait long before he saw Su Mu coming in. She wore light makeup and dressed in a black chiffon long sleeve dress today. It was absolutely stunning when paired with her tall figure.

“Physician Su, I’m here to invite you to meet the author.” Su Mu chuckled.

Su Tao knew that the TCM Cultural Project had already been activated in Newlight Media. It was an attempt to promote TCM. In this project, he was used as a model for novels, literature, animation, films, and dramas.

After cleaning up the desk, Su Tao followed Su Mu to a books cafe.

The cafe wasn’t large. It was barely even a hundred square meters. However, the cafe was decorated with lots of bookshelves, each filled with books. They were even split into categories. As Su Tao glanced through the cafe, most of the books were novels.

Su Tao saw a delicate woman sitting by the window. She seems to be around the same age as him, dressed like a virtuous woman with her linen dress. At the same time, she seemed like an undergrad with her white canvas.

“This is the author, and she goes by Drizzling Snow as her penname. She’s an outstanding author for online novels.” Su Mu introduced with a smile.

The author, Drizzling Snow, blushed as she greeted Su Tao, “Hello, Divine Physician Su. I never expected that you would be so young.”

“You don’t look old yourself either.” Su Tao smiled.

Drizzling Snow took out her notebook and replied, “Let us begin!”

Su Tao was briefly stunned by how serious Drizzling Snow was. He nodded his head, “Alright. You can start asking and I’ll answer!”

Drizzling Snow came prepared. She had over a dozen questions ready for Su Tao, which Su Tao responded to them seriously. Based on those questions, Drizzling Snow gained an understanding of Su Tao’s character.

Roughly two hours later, Drizzling Snow smiled, “I’m done with my questions. There might be some conflicts in the process, and it might be somewhat exaggerated. So you can let me know if you have any suggestions.”

“I might be the model for the protagonist, but it doesn’t have to be me. In my opinion, the protagonist should be more outstanding and charming than me.” Su Tao shook his head with a smile.

Drizzling Snow was briefly stunned before she nodded in agreement, “I will do my best to write the novel!”

“Can we order something now? Otherwise, I’m afraid that we will be asked to leave by the waitress soon.” Su Tao joked.

They only ordered some beverages during the interview. Su Mu smiled as she waved her hand at the waitress and ordered dinner. The three of them had their dinner in a lively atmosphere before the meeting came to an end.

Su Mu first sent Drizzling Rain back home before she sent Su Tao back. But just when they were about to arrive at the district, Su Mu couldn’t help making her request, “Can you help me?”

“Sure!” Su Tao smiled.

“I have a relative who’s seriously ill. Do you think you can help me out by taking a look?” Su Mu knew that it wasn’t appropriate, but she still mustered her courage to ask the question.

“Sure!” Su Tao had no problem accepting her request. She had a good impression of Su Mu. “You can make the arrangement.”

Su Mu felt relieved when she saw that Su Tao was friendly without any airs around him. Su Mu could see why would he be treated with such importance by Ni Jingqiu.

Su Tao gave a call to Jiang Qinghan after taking a shower. He wanted to enquire about the progress of Wang Guofeng’s case.

Jiang Qinghan smiled, “It was just as you had analyzed. We found the person who forged Wang Guofeng’s handwriting. The death note was written by the Vice-President of Huaibei Province’s Calligraphy Association, Liu En. He had no idea that this death note was for Wang Guofeng when he wrote it. It was a stranger who found him with a pile of medical cases. And he only agreed to do the job because of the high payment. But due to the fact that the death note was written in a hurry, the content was rather crude.”

“At the very least, it proves my innocence now.” Su Tao sighed out in relief.

“Our utmost priority was to find the person who looked for Liu En.” Jiang Qinghan knitted her brows.

“You won’t have any chance if the other party is cautious enough. I feel that we should make the first move by alarming them.” Su Tao smiled bitterly.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Qinghan was surprised by Su Tao’s suggestion.

“Let out the news that you guys are currently investigating Wang Guofeng’s suicide case. Furthermore, Wang Guofeng’s death was suspected to be a murder. It will make the culprit anxious. The moment they start panicking, they will try to cover up whatever tracks they left behind.” Su Tao patiently analyzed.

“I know what to do now!” Jiang Qinghan nodded her head as she soon understood Su Tao’s intention.
