Physician's Odyssey

Chapter 844 - Old Divine Physician Wang

Translator: Thyaeria

Su Tao did not have any favorable impression of Wang Guofeng. He had his thoughts about investigating this matter. Wang Guofeng’s sudden death was too fishy. He couldn’t possibly sit and watch Rangure framing him by causing a conflict between him and the Wang Family. If he fell out with the Wang Family, not only would it mean that Rangure had gotten away with her scheme, but Su Tao’s reputation would also be affected.

The Wang Family’s Pharmacy had two divine physicians, and they held more reputation than Su Tao.

Furthermore, Wang Xi and Wang Rui were both respectable physicians for their medical ethics.

That means that if the conflict between Su Tao and the Wang Family intensified, Su Tao would have to bid farewell from the Ten Best National Healers.

Wang Rui had already contacted everyone in his network. Based on his reputation in the National Healer Team, the Central Healthcare Committee would consider his opinion.

Now that Dong Yun had received Zhang Ailian and her child, Su Tao did not need to keep the two of them around. He helped out in packing the diapers, feeding bottles, and toys.

Zhang Ailian was grateful for Su Tao. Over the past few days, Su Tao was sincere about helping her. Although Su Tao had his motives, he was still a good man.

Dong Yun watched everything by the side quietly. She could see how detailed Su Tao was when he helped packing. Looking at Su Tao, she was ridden with guilt. She realized that she had misjudged Su Tao. Su Tao was a compassionate person. Him being in conflict with Wang Guofeng didn’t mean that he was a bad person.

Dong Yun had also met Ling Yu. At this moment, she finally understood why Ling Yu would stand in Su Tao’s faction. Su Tao was more outstanding compared to her son.

On the next morning, Dong Yun personally came to pick up Zhang Ailian and her son. In the process, Su Tao helped to put the luggage into the vehicle. Meanwhile, Zhang Ailian entered the backseat with the baby and closed the door.

Watching as the vehicle disappeared into the horizon, Su Tao knitted his brows. He felt relieved in his heart. His conflict with the Wang Family had finally been resolved, and he had also given an account to Ling Yu.

As Zhang Ailian sat in the vehicle, she couldn’t help feeling uneasy. After drifting outside for so long, she was finally entering the Wang Family. Most importantly, her son could receive excellent protection and education.

Wang Rui was already outside by the doorstep when the vehicle arrived. When he saw Zhang Ailian coming down with the baby, he immediately walked up to her. Seeing the baby in her embrace, Wang Rui cried tears of emotion, “He does look like Guofeng when he was young!”

“Let’s bring them to see your father.” Dong Yun wiped her tears.

Zhang Ailian felt unreal as she entered the residence. It felt as if she was walking a Ming Dynasty aristocratic courtyard. Under the dusky sunlight, the Wang Family’s Residence’s courtyard was covered in a long shadow. When they walked in, the servants came to greet them.

Wang Xi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard his son’s voice, he responded, “Come in!”

Wang Rui took the baby from Zhang Ailian and entered the room alone by himself. When he entered, he called out, “Dad, I brought someone to see you.”

Opening his eyes, Wang Xi was surprised when he saw the baby that Wang Rui was carrying, “Whose child is this?”

“Dad, this is Guofeng’s son. He’s also your great-grandson.” Wang Rui became emotional as tears rolled down his cheeks.

“What?!” Wang Xi suddenly became energetic. Since ancient times, whenever there was an ill elderly in the family, they would try to wash it off with something joyful.

Most importantly, Wang Xi’s condition was caused by the psychological blow caused by Wang Guofeng’s death. When he heard from his son that Wang Guofeng left a child behind, he suddenly became energetic. It was as if he had gotten a whole new life.

“Come, let me take a look at him! “Wang Xi waved his hand. When Wang Rui approached, his eyes flickered with devotion.

“This child belongs to Guofeng. We have already done the DNA test.” Wang Rui explained to dispel Wang Xi’s doubts.

“Sigh... This can be considered our fortune out of the misfortunes.” Wang Xi replied hoarsely. “Where’s the mother of the child?”

“The mother of the child is outside. But there’s something special about her identity... she was married...” Wang Rui sighed.

Wang Xi was briefly stunned. Based on how he was in the past, he would not allow something so humiliating in the family. He would punish Wang Guofeng for it. But right now, he was conflicted with a bitter smile, “This is the son taught by you!”

“Dad, please calm down.” Wang Rui lowered his head. As the saying goes, the father was at fault if the child did not learn. Thinking about it now, Wang Rui was truly wrong when it came to teaching Wang Guofeng. Wang Guofeng had been pampered since young. Whenever he did something wrong, Dong Yun would always stand out to protect him. In the end, Wang Rui couldn’t be the strict father that he was supposed to, which led Wang Guofeng down the wrong path.

“Sigh! Since he’s the bloodline of the Wang Family, we naturally have to be responsible for him. As for his mother, what do you intend to do with her?” Wang Xi felt less resentment about this matter when he saw the baby staring at him.

“His mother already has no affection left for her husband, and she’s preparing for divorce. Dong Yun and I intend to let her stay in the Wang Family. The child is still too young, and he needs breastfeeding. When the child becomes bigger, we’ll support her if she wants to go back to her husband or marry someone else.” Wang Rui had already made up his mind.

“We’ll go with that!” Wang Xi loosened his brows. This was a piece of good news for the Wang Family.

“Furthermore, there is progress in Guofeng’s case. His death note was forged by someone by the name of Liu En, and we’ve misunderstood Su Tao. This time, it was all thanks to Su Tao that the child and the mother could be safe.” Wang Rui smiled bitterly. “I never expected that we would make an error of judgment.”

Handing the baby over to Wang Rui, Wang Xi’s eyes flickered, “Since Guofeng’s death is a case or murder, then we have to get the truth investigated! Make preparations. I’ll pay a visit to a few friends tonight.”

“But dad, your body!” Wang Rui knew that his father was going to ask help from someone influential. However, Wang Rui was concerned about his father’s health at the same time.

“I’m fine!” Wang Xi smiled. “Seeing this little fellow made me feel so much better. On the contrary, I would feel uneasy if I couldn’t get a conclusion out of Guofeng’s case.”

“I’ll make arrangements right away.” Wang Rui nodded his head.

Half an hour later, Wang Xi wore his cap as he held onto his cane and walked on the small pathway. He was going into the depth of General Street. Wang Rui wasn’t reassured about leaving his father alone and came along as well. Roughly half an hour later, Wang Xi shook his head towards his son as he stepped forth and knocked on the door. Shortly after, a middle-aged man came out to open the door. When the middle-aged man saw Wang Xi, he immediately spoke out, “Old Divine Physician Wang, what brings you here?”

“I’m here to meet the old man. I would like to request for his help!” Wang Xi smiled bitterly.

“It’s cold outside. Come in quickly.” The middle-aged man immediately welcomed Wang Xi into the residence.

Wang Xi was the old man’s savior. If it weren’t for Wang Xi back then, the old bureaucrat would’ve lost his life.

As the saying went, having an elderly home was the same as having a treasure at home. The old man was once an influential figure in the government system. Even now, that old man still wielded colossal influence. Having him alive in the country was the same as a pillar.

Wang Rui stood beneath the old willow tree as he watched his father entering the courtyard and sighed. His father had saved countless lives in his lifetime, but he had never seen his father lowering his head. He had never seen his father used his medical skill to seek anything. But this time, his father dropped head willingly for his deceased grandson.

Su Tao had no idea of this entire incident. He had no idea that the network, an old physician wields, could even shake the whole country.

Wang Xi was in the residence for half an hour. When he came out, the respective departments were informed to establish an investigation team to investigate the death of Wang Guofeng. As an old leader instructed this matter, no one dared to take it lightly.

Worried that someone might cover up this matter in He City, the investigation team headed down at night. On the second day, everyone in Huaibei Province was shocked. All of them had misunderstood if something happened to someone important.

The investigation team soon controlled everyone among the management level in the Medicine Deity Corporation. Even Luo Ran, who was just released from prison, was arrested once more and was brought into an interrogation room.

Through a night of interrogation, Luo Ran was utterly exhausted. He wanted to sleep, but the interrogation went on, and he wasn’t allowed to rest. His willpower was starting to wane down, and he could no longer endure the pressure.

“You were once Wang Guofeng’s assistant. So you should understand him well. Did he have any enemy who would murder him? Did you murder him?” The interrogation staff asked.

“You guys have already asked this question a lot of times. I had already told you that I was in prison when it happened, and I had no idea what happened outside. Although I was Wang Guofeng’s assistant, my job scope was to assist him. As for any personal grudges, I have no idea about that.” Luo Ran smiled bitterly.

“You replaced him as the Chairman soon after Wang Guofeng died. So shouldn’t you know anything about this matter?” The interrogation staff snickered.

“You should be asking the directors about why they picked me as the Chairman. I also have no idea why Wang Guofeng transferred his shares before his death.” Luo Ran shook his head bitterly.

When the interrogation staff saw that Luo Ran was so tight-lipped, he took out a photo and placed it before Luo Ran, “Do you know this woman?”

The woman in the photo was naturally Rangure.

“She’s the investor of our corporation. I met her several times, but I’m not close to her.” Luo Ran remained calm.

“We have a video showing that you once met her in a private clubhouse after coming out of prison. The two of you even spoke privately for two hours.” The interrogation staff slammed the desk. “We have also sent someone to question your senior brother, Bai Fan, who’s currently in prison. He told us that this woman wasn’t just the investor but also the Medicine Deity Corporation’s mastermind. Is she related to Wang Guofeng’s death? If you confess everything now, we can reconsider your punishment!”
