Chapter 770: Talking to a Wall

“It is estimated that you will find out nothing,” the King Pharmacist said.

“Do you know who he is?” the woman asked.

“That is ridiculous,” the King Pharmacist said. “How could I know? It must have been a martial artist. He released his neixi to invade the meridians… Forget it. I am talking to a wall. Come back in two days.”

Without finishing what he was going to say, the King Pharmacist became impatient and waved his hands, telling them to leave.

“Thank you.” The woman once again expressed her gratitude and asked a few people to carry out her son, who was in a deep coma.

From the bamboo building to the car, from beginning to end, her expression never changed. She completely hid her emotions. In terms of restraint, she was a master.

A few cars left and went to the nearest county. They chose the best hotel to stay in for two days.

In the best private room in the hotel, the woman said with a very cold expression, “Xiao Luo, come on in.”

“Lady,” he said.

“Have you found anything?” she asked.

“No,” the young man in his 30s said.

“If I remember correctly, you started practicing martial arts at the age of 8, right?” she asked.

“My lady, I was 7-and-a-half years old,” he said.

“So, you have had 20 years of practicing martial arts,” she said.

“It is more than 25 years,” he replied.

“In the bamboo building just now, in regards to what the King Pharmacist said, what is the so-called neixi? Is it as what is described in the movies and novels?” she asked.

“My lady, it is the realm that martial artists achieve after they have practiced to a certain degree,” the young man replied. “It is different from what is said in the movie and novels. I don’t know how to describe it because I have never been there. Not even my master has.”

“Is it difficult?” she asked.

“It’s extremely difficult,” the young man said. “To achieve that level, you don’t just need to work hard. The talent of being the best of the best is also necessary. It can only be achieved with arduous work and hard-won opportunities. You fail if you lack any of them.”

“Do you know anyone like that?” she asked.

“I have heard that there is such a person in the south, but I am not sure whether he is still alive,” the young man said.

“How could Shida offend such a person?” the woman asked.

“I can’t figure that out,” the young man said. “Such people generally practice in mountain forests and are rarely seen in big cities. I have made some inquiries. There is no such person in Dao. Even Sun Zhengrong, who has such a grand family industry, does not know any people like that.”

“This matter should continue to be investigated,” the woman said. “No matter how long it takes and how much it costs, it must be clear who hurt Shida.”

“Yes, Ma’am,” the young man said.

“Go and ask Dr. Xu to come in,” the woman said.

Not long after he left, a man in the 40s entered the living room. “Lady.”

“How is Shida?” the woman asked.

“He has recovered very well,” the doctor replied. “He is now stable. According to the current situation, he will heal completely from the condition. The King Pharmacist’s method was extraordinary.”

“Is it possible to invite him to Jing?” the woman asked. Although she was disgusted with the old man’s temper, she had to admit that he had very talented skills.

“Madam, with all due respect, it is impossible,” the doctor said. “He has been famous in the Miao Territory for decades, and his fame has never waned. There have been countless dignitaries eager to invite him to join them as a respected guest. Everyone who invited him was refused by him.”

“What an arrogant old man!” The woman snorted.

These days in this remote country, she had suffered enough, especially every time she went into the bamboo building. She was always annoyed with him but could not get the anger out. Like what the King Pharmacist said in the bamboo building, she was annoyed. She wanted to be verbally abusive and punish the stubborn old man, but she could only think about it. None of that could be revealed or admitted.

“Oh, I see,” she said. “I’ll leave Shida to you.”

“I see, Ma’am.” The doctor left and gently shut the door.

“A stubborn but talented old man in such a small county!” She was staring out the window. She had no feelings for this place. She only wanted to get away as soon as possible.

…

In Dao, thousands of miles away…

“Dad, it is a bit strange!” In Sun Zhengrong’s study, Sun Yunsheng was somewhat puzzled.

“Well, he hid everything. What does that mean?” Sun Zhengrong was also bemused by Hou’s attitude. He was about to have a falling out with the Sun family, but he did not take that step.

“Is it an empty threat?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“It is unlikely to be that since that family has always done things in a direct and practical way,” Sun Zhengrong said.

He was quite a piece of work himself since he had many connections from all of the years he ran the business. He also had many winning cards.

“I am most worried about Guo’s attitude now,” Sun Zhengrong said.

“Do they work together?” Sun Yunsheng asked.

“If that is the case, we would be in big trouble. The boss of this province is probably surnamed Guo,” Sun Zhengrong said.

Although the Hou family held authority, it was in Jing. It might be blocked at the local level. In the end, he may not be satisfied with anything. The Guo family was different. They were in a position with real power and in charge of the province. His influence in Qi Province would be too enormous for the Suns. If he had any idea of causing trouble to him, it would be his biggest trouble.

“Can you stop him?” Sun Yunsheng asked

“Stop him? How could I stop him?” Sun Zhengrong asked as he lit a cigarette. “The personnel appointment at that level can only be made by the staff at the central level.”

The relationship between the two families was not bad. Sun Zhengrong had gone to the funeral of Guo’s old man. But, after all, he was a businessman. The Hou family was different. It was an old and well-known family that knew about exchanging interests.

“Su family,” Sun Yunsheng whispered.

“They have the ability, but they would not do it,” Sun Zhengrong shook his head. “It would add a strong energy to them but without any profits. They definitely won’t do it.”

“Guo’s son is still angry with Mr. Wang,” Sun Yunsheng said.

“Why is that?” Sun Zhengrong asked.

“Guo’s son likes the princess of the Su family, but she likes Mr. Wang,” Sun Yunsheng replied.

“What do you mean?” his father asked.

“I have heard something about the Childe Guo,” Sun Yunsheng said. “He has many thoughts hidden deep in his heart. Mr. Wang is in Qi Province, under the jurisdiction of that person. Is it likely that Childe Guo caused troubles for Mr. Wang via his father?”

“Nothing’s happened yet,” Sun Zhengrong said. “Everything is just what we guess, but we have to make plans for the worst. Our foreign investment plans can be stepped up.”

…

In Lianshan County, the Nanshan Pharmaceutical’s project was advancing rapidly. Zheng had arranged a group to coordinate the related matters on site. Lianshan County and even Haiqu also cared about the project. Biopharmaceuticals was a high-tech industry, so they also paid more attention to the industry to ensure they met the requirements.

In the morning, Jia Zizai, who had been away from the village for two days, returned. He brought a bottle of good wine and some news.

“Mr. Wang, the company’s chairman has already found some things,” Jia Zizai said. “He has cooperation with Dongying people, and it is something to be ashamed of.”

“What are the dealings?” Wang Yao asked.

“They are trafficking human organs,” Jia Zizai said.

“What?” Wang Yao was very surprised. “Your company is always engaged in mopping up the troubles while charging some fees, isn’t that right? How can you do this kind of thing?”

“He is the chairman of the board,” Jia Zizai said. “He has the final decision for most of the company’s affairs. Even on the board of directors, he also holds the vast majority of votes. In time, he has done a lot of hidden things. We would not know it if we had not done any preparation this time. He has done such business without telling any us.”

“Is there any evidence?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes but not enough,” Jia Zizai said.

“Enough evidence is a must,” Wang Yao said.
