“Hello, May I speak to Wang Yao?” asked Fang Zhengyuan softly.

“Hello, I am Wang Yao. Please come in,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

This doctor is so young! He doesn’t look much older than me, thought the girl. Is such a young doctor able to treat my illness?

Wang Yao had been watching them since they entered the room.

Fang Zhengyuan and his wife didn’t look well. Wang Yao presumed that it was because they were tired. They should be better after resting for a while. As for the teenage girl, she looked extremely pale, with rash on her face and neck. She was also quite weak and short of breath. It was clear she was ill.

“This is my daughter. She has a weird illness. Could you please take a look at her?” asked Fang Zhengyuan.

“Okay, please sit down,” said Wang Yao.

The girl was wearing a long sleeve shirt. She also had rashes on her hands. It looked like her hands had been pin pricked by needles but didn’t bleed.

“Let me check your pulse,” said Wang Yao.

It’s a toxin!

The girl was affected some sort of toxin, which was stuck in her blood, and travelled to different part of her body and damaged it.

Her liver and kidney were damaged severely.

“Do you feel nauseated, weak, and you don’t feel like eating, and you often vomit?” Wang Yao recited a few symptoms off the top of his head.

“Yes,” said Fang Zhengyuan.

What Wang Yao said were exactly his daughter’s symptoms once she had gotten worse.

“How long have you been ill?” asked Wang Yao.

“Just over a year,” said Fang Zhengyuan’s daughter.

Over a year was a long time.

Wang Yao needed to cleanse the toxin in her body and enhance her immune system.

The toxin had gone into her organs, so common herbs wouldn’t work very well. Wang Yao needed to use licorice roots.

But licorice roots…

Wang Yao looked up at Fang Zhengyuan and his family.

“She has toxin in her blood, and as the blood circulated, it carried the toxin all over her body. It will take a long while to treat her, and it will cost a lot,” said Wang Yao.

“Can you cure her?” asked Fang Zhengyuan.

He got what Wang Yao tried to say. He was surprised and doubtful that he would be able to.

After all, they had been to many hospitals and seen many experts. None of them could treat their daughter. He didn’t expect this young doctor, who looked like in his 20’s, would say that he could cure her. Wang Yao’s subsequent words surprised Fang Zhengyuan.

“Yes, I can,” said Wang Yao calmly and confidently.

Even Su Xiaoxue could be cured by Wang Yao. Su Xiaoxue’s toxin had, similarly, invaded into all her organs. If Wang Yao could cleanse out such severe toxins in Su Xiaoxue’s body, he should be able to remove the toxin from Fang Zhengyuan’s daughter’s body. Su Xiaoxue’s condition was much worse than hers. Wang Yao couldn’t guarantee that he could cure Fang Zhengyuan’s daughter, but he was pretty sure he could at least make the girl much better.

“Well, how much will the treatment cost?” asked Fang Zhengyuan after some hesitation.

He was a bit worried that the young doctor was a fraud, and he would take this chance to overcharge him.

“How about you let me prescribe your daughter an herbal formula first? Get her to take the herbs and see how it goes. As for the cost of the herbs…” said Wang Yao.

He quickly listed the herbs in his mind.

Angelica, Glossy Ganoderma, wild ginseng…

He had used all these herbs on Wei Hai and Su Xiaoxue to consolidate their vitality. Although this herbal formula was not as effective as Regathering soup, it would alleviate Fang Zhengyuan’s daughter’s symptoms.

Wang Yao weighed each herb and wrote down the way to brew the herbal decoction.

“The herbal formula will consolidate her vitality. If you see a noticeable improvement, come back in three days,” said Wang Yao.

“The herbal formula costs a few hundred yuan,” added Wang Yao. He wouldn’t make any money out of selling the herbs, and he didn’t want to.

“Thank you,” said Fang Zhengyuan.

They left with the herbs.

Wang Yao said no more. He could tell Fang Zhengyuan and his family doubted his ability and experience, like most of Wang Yao’s patients. When they first met Wang Yao, they never took him seriously and never thought he could actually cure them.

The treatment for the girl shouldn’t be delayed; any delay will make her condition incurable.

“Zhengyuan, that doctor looks so young. Do you think he is reliable?” asked Fang Zhengyuan’s wife after they had left the clinic.

“Let’s try the herbs first,” said Fang Zhengyuan.

He hadn’t contacted Wei Hai for a long time, but he couldn’t think of any reason for Wei Hai to trick him.

It just cost him several hundred yuan to see Wang Yao.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Ji City, something was happening in Li Shaoyang’s home.

“What? You are in a police station?” Li Yaosheng was shocked by the news.

“Which police station?” asked Li Yaosheng.

“Haiqu,” said Li Shaoyang at the other end of the phone.

Phhh! Li Yaosheng hanged up the phone.

“Hello, Dad…” Li Shaoyang heard the dial tone before he could finish what he wanted to say.

Well, Dad must be mad.

He had been in the police station for a whole day and was already interrogated three times.

He had been spoiled by his family since childhood. He had never been treated like this. After being threatened and frightened by the police officer, Li Shaoyang said a lot of things he shouldn’t have said.

Eventually, the police officer allowed him to make a phone call. However, his dad seemed to be very upset. He knew his dad wouldn’t leave him alone. He would probably get sprung from the police station very soon. To him, this was no big deal.

At the moment, Li Shaoyang still didn’t think he had done anything wrong. His hatred of Wang Yao had only become stronger.

Wang Yao! I’m not done with you! I’ll make you pay when I’m out of here!

“Li Shaoyang, come out!” said a police officer.

“Are you kidding me? You’re going to interrogate me again?” said Li Shaoyang.

…

It was nice and cool in the village late afternoon.

“What happened to you? Two groups of people came to look for you. Have you made any trouble somewhere?” Wang Mingbao came back from Lianshan town center for Wang Yao.

“They were actually just one group of people,” said Wang Yao.

He told Wang Mingbao what happened between him and Li Shaoyang in Ji City.

“What a scumbag!” said Wang Mingbao.

“Exactly,” said Wang Yao.

“You did the right thing. I think you were too nice to him. I would have castrated him,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Castrating him would be illegal,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

“Poisoning him was legal too, though?” joked Wang Mingbao.

“Well, in theory, it was also illegal to poison him, but I couldn’t help doing it,” said Wang Yao.

Almost every man had thought about fighting against evil. However, not many people would take action.

Wang Mingbao’s phone started to ring when they were talking.

“Hello… What? Try to keep him a bit longer. Okay…thanks mate,” said Wang Mingbao.

“That Li Shaoyang seems to know a lot of people. Someone just called to plead for mercy,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Really? He does seem to know a lot of people. I just never expected him to know people in Haiqu,” said Wang Yao with a smile.

However, Wang Yao wasn’t done with Li Shaoyang, who had invaded his life and even bothered him at his home. Wang Yao decided to give Li Shaoyang a lesson, one that he would remember the rest of this life, just like what he did in Ji City the other day.

When coming across a scumbag, the best thing to do was to torture him: torture him hard and make him wish for death.

“Can you think about a way to keep him in the police station? I believe he must have done other bad things,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, I’ll put some pressure on the police officer in charge, but Li Shaoyang is from Ji, which is a big city. If he manages to get help from the police station in Ji City, the police officers here won’t be able to do too much; they’ll have to release him,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Okay, let me know when they release him. I won’t let him go back to Ji City in one piece,” said Wang Yao.

“I will let you know, don’t worry,” said Wang Mingbao.

Wang Yao had a few drinks with Wang Mingbao that night.

“Are you going back to Lianshan town center tonight?” asked Wang Yao.

“No, I’ve had too much to drink, can’t drive,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Great, we can drink some more,” said Wang Yao.

“Sounds good,” said Wang Mingbao.

Wang Mingbao didn’t leave Wang Yao’s home until 10 pm. Wang Yao’s father was with them. He also enjoyed drinking.

“I have to go,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Take it easy, I’ll walk you back,” said Wang Yao as Wang Mingbao seemed to have drunk too much.

“Don’t worry about me. My place is just a few steps away, I’ll be fine.” Wang Mingbao shook his hand.

Want Yao watched Wang Mingbao cross the river before returning home.

Wang Mingbao received a call from his friend working in the police station the next morning.

“What? They acted so fast!” said Wang Mingbao.

“Yes, they have a strong connection with people in the local government of Ji City. My supervisor got a call from there,” said Wang Mingbao’s friend.

“Okay, I see,” said Wang Mingbao.

He immediately told Wang Yao about it.

“Well…” Wang Yao rubbed his forehead with a smile. “This scumbag, he can just come out of the police station like this, but I won’t let him go back home in one piece.”

“Okay, let’s go and see him out of Lianshan,” said Wang Mingbao.

“Sounds good,” said Wang Yao.

Wang Mingbao drove Wang Yao to the police station in town. When they had arrived, they just saw Li Shaoyang come out of the police station.

“The air outside is so fresh,” said Li Shaoyang.

He saw Wang Yao as soon as he walked out of the door.

“Shit! Why is he here?!” said Li Shaoyang with surprise.

As he was staring at Wang Yao, a car came to the police station of Lianshan. The car had a number plate from Ji City. A middle-aged man came out of the car after it parked along the road. The man was slightly overweight and he looked like a vulture.

“Uncle Sun!” Li Shaoyang felt relaxed as soon as he saw the middle-aged man.
