Chapter 45: The Mysterious Car Accident

  Ning Yuan chuckled and smiled, saying: "Tan Lao, don't blame me. Just now I also had no choice, the Xu family obviously couldn't accept taking rhubarb, but Madam Xu's illness can only be cured with rhubarb, so I had to resort to this inferior plan."

  "It's not your fault." Tan Donglin let out a sigh, his face filled with bitter smile: "But just now I was really scared stiff, if you weren't the kid I dragged over, I would have turned around and left immediately."

  Looking at Tan Donglin's still somewhat pale face, Ningyuan also sighed slightly. This old Chinese doctor, although occasionally likes to pretend to be a quack, has good medical ethics after all. If this matter were placed on him, he would absolutely not go see it again for the second time. It's really unbearable to avoid illness and fear doctors.

  This doctor treats patients, especially rich people, and sometimes it's not an easy task. Even with very simple illnesses, due to the patient or their family members' arrogance and self-righteousness, the condition becomes severe and uncontrollable, and in the end, they still blame the doctor.

  Ningyuan and Tan Donglin walked side by side, discussing countermeasures. Ningyuan had just opened up about the situation, so Tan Donglin naturally felt a sense of relief, even couldn't help but feel some admiration for Ningyuan's quick thinking, and was grateful that he hadn't misjudged him.

  It has to be said that people's mentality is really strange. Just now in the ward, Tan Donglin was still regretful in his heart, regretting that he had misjudged someone and almost cursed him as "unfilial". In just a blink of an eye, he had forgotten his complaints about Ningyuan and began to praise him instead.

  The pharmacy of the city hospital naturally has longan, this time for treating Mrs. Xu's illness, secretly using Chen Cang is actually not difficult, just apply some rhubarb powder on the skin of longan.

  The outer shell of the longan is coated with rhubarb powder, and when decocting, the shell is not removed, but directly put into the water for decoction. The shell does not rot, so the pulp of the longan will not be exposed, and the well-cooked medicinal soup will not contain any ingredients from the longan. It looks like a longan soup, but it's actually rhubarb soup. This little trick is absolutely invisible to outsiders.

  Tan Donglin was very famous in the city hospital, and the doctors and nurses in the pharmacy also knew him. The two of them naturally entered the pharmacy, selected some longans with intact shells, processed them briefly, and handed them over to the nurse to decoct. At the same time, they instructed the nurse that after decoction, she should bring the longans together with the medicinal liquid to the ward.

  After finishing the handover, Ning Yuan and Tan Donglin didn't stay for long either, and returned to the ward together. As they were about to enter the ward, Ning Yuan reminded Tan Donglin: "Tan Lao, in order to make it more realistic, you still need to put on a show, go inside and keep making that stinky face of yours, don't blow your cover."

  "You're the one with a stinky face." Tan Donglin glared at Ning Yuan with annoyance, the relaxed look on his face instantly disappearing, replaced by deep worry. As he walked, he sighed and muttered to himself in a low voice, it was unclear what he was grumbling about. It had to be said, this old man really had a talent for acting.

  Two people entered the ward, and Xu Qifeng and others in the ward hurried to greet them. They politely greeted Ning Yuan and Tan Donglin. Tan Donglin sighed deeply and advised: "Director Xu, I still insist on my original plan. If you don't listen and something happens, don't look for me."

  Xu Qifah's heart was also somewhat hesitant, and upon hearing Tan Donglin's words, he smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively: "Tan Lao, this Longan is just a medicinal herb that supplements Qi and blood. Even if it doesn't have any effect after taking it, it shouldn't pose too much danger, right?"

  Tan Donglin naturally knew what Xu Qifeng meant by asking this question. With his tacit understanding with Ningyuan, he naturally knew what to say at this time. He smiled wryly and said, "It's not that dangerous, but the old lady's condition really can't be delayed any longer."

  Xu Qifah heard that there was no danger, and his heart was also put at ease. He casually said to Tan Donglin: "Since it's not dangerous, we can give it a try. If it still doesn't work, we'll use the prescription you mentioned."

  A few people chatted in the ward for a while, and after about twenty minutes or so, a nurse came in with a bowl of medicine. The medicine was served in a large bowl, with several round longans floating inside.

  Ning carefully carried the medicinal soup to the bedside, leaned in and took a sniff, confirming everything was fine. Then, smiling at Xue Qifeng, she said: "Mr. Xue, it's ready for the old lady to drink now. The temperature is just right, drinking it while it's hot will have an even better effect."

  Xu Qifahad no idea that Ningyuan and Tan Donglin would tamper with the medicine, not suspecting a thing. He held the bowl of medicine and spoon in hand, sat down beside Xu's bed and began to feed her the medicine.

  In fact, if you really want to secretly administer medicine, it's not necessary to go through so much trouble. Just open the prescription for Longyan and directly serve a dose of Da Huang decoction. The reason why Ningyuan and Tan Donglin specially handled Longyan was just in case.

  A large bowl of medicinal soup, Xu Qifeng fed more than half a bowl to Old Lady Xu, and only then put the remaining medicinal soup on the table beside her.

  Ning Yu saw that the old lady had taken the medicine and didn't stay long, so he bid farewell to Xu Qifang. The medicinal soup needed a considerable amount of time to take effect, and naturally, he didn't have the leisure to wait in the sickroom.

  Tan Guanglin also bid farewell with Ningyuan, and Xu Qifah personally escorted the two out of the ward. With a courteous gaze, he watched as Ningyuan and Tan Donglin entered Jiang Shihao's ward.

  In Jiang Shi Hao's ward, Gu Feng Lin was chatting with Jiang Shi Hao when they saw Ning Yuan and Tan Donglin return. Both of them greeted him, and only then did Jiang Shi Hao smile and ask: "Mr. Ning, Old Tan, how is the situation with Madam Xu now?"

  "It's good that Ningyuan is here, this time the Xu family has really lucked out." Tan Donglin said with a smile before Ningyuan could even speak.

  Jiang Shihao's eyes lit up at the words, and he couldn't help but take another look at Ning Yuan. In his heart, he secretly warned himself that this young man must not be offended in the future.

  On the first day Ningyuan arrived in Shangjiang City, Jiang Shihao had heard Ningyuan say that he was a doctor. At that time, Jiang Shihao didn't pay much attention to it. Later, he treated Ningyuan with courtesy and respect, first because of his knowledge of antiques, and later because of his skills. As for Ningyuan's medical skills, he had never paid much attention to them. Now it seemed that Ningyuan was not only proficient in Feng Shui and antiques, but also excelled in medicine.

  Looking at Ning Yuan's face, Jiang Shi Hao couldn't help but shiver. This young man was only in his early twenties, yet he had such abilities. He would definitely be unstoppable in the future.

  Ning Yuan smiled slightly and pulled over a stool to sit down beside Jiang Shihao, then asked after a moment of contemplation: "Mr. Jiang, do you still remember the car accident? Can you tell me about it in detail?"

  Originally, Ning didn't want to ask Tan Donglin about this matter, but the old man showed no intention of leaving, so Ning had to ask him directly. If Jiang Shihao's car accident was intentional this time, it means that someone is getting impatient and there may be further actions in the future, so we must be prepared.

  Jiang Shihao thought carefully before speaking, "It's a bit strange to say, but this morning I was driving to the company and just as I was turning onto the road near the office building, I somehow collided with someone else."

  "What does it mean?" Ning Yuan asked with furrowed brows.

  "How should I put it?" Jiang Shihao was somewhat at a loss for words, and after hesitating again, he said: "At the time, I was driving my car, and I didn't see any cars coming from the front. There weren't many vehicles on the side either. That car seemed to appear out of thin air. It wasn't until my car shook violently that my whole body was flung forward, hitting the windshield in front of me. Only then did I see that there were one or two cars facing me, and my car had already driven onto the left side of the road, with at least half of it over the line, and the front of the car was still tilted."

  Jiang Shihao said, seeing the strange expressions on the faces of Ning Yuan and the other two, hastily added: "I didn't drink any wine, I was absolutely sober at the time, it's really like seeing a ghost. Luckily, we were almost at the intersection, so the car wasn't going fast, otherwise I think it wouldn't have been just a dislocated arm."

  After listening to Jiang Shihao's account, Ning Yuan and Gu Fenglin exchanged a glance, and indeed, someone was secretly manipulating things behind the scenes. They were able to make Jiang Shihao unknowingly collide with others without leaving any clues, which must be the work of a Xuanmen practitioner.

  Yearning for dream tickets.
