Chapter 341 The Last Straw
âYes, I did it in order to hide something!â Wang Dacheng stated, casting a glance at Nalan Wuxia.
âYou see, I originally wanted to build a big business in traditional Chinese medicine. If this matter comes out, but a Chinese medicine practitioner failed to take care of his body and died of a heart attack. If this matter comes out, our Huaxia Hall of Medical Fame will definitely be affected negatively. So I want to finish Zhang Tianheâs funeral as soon as possible, to minimize the impact. Thatâs why I promised Li Lizhen five million yuan.â
Speaking of this, he gave a self-deprecating smile. âI didnât expect to make a loss the second time. No sooner had his body been cremated than word came that one of his patients died. If I had known he was a quack, why would I have spent five million yuan to preserve his reputation? Itâs not necessary.â
âItâŠâ
From the bottom of her heart, Wang Dachengâs answer didnât dispel Nalan Wuxiaâs suspicions about him, but she couldnât find the flaw in his words for a moment.
âLet me ask!â Qin Haodong directly used his Mind-manipulating and asked, âDid you have anything to do with Zhang Tianheâs death?â
âCertainly not. How could I want him dead? You know, if he dies, Iâll lose a lot of money!â
âDid Zhang Tianhe prescribe the three prescriptions at your command?â
Wang Dacheng replied, âHow could that be? First of all, I donât know traditional Chinese medicine at all. Second, if he prescribes the wrong prescription, my brand will be affected. I canât do that stupid thing.â
Qin Haodong asked, âThere was a disturbance at Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company this morning. Are you the mastermind of this?â
Wang Dacheng replied, âI didnât know that. It has nothing to do with me.â
âYou made Che Xiaoxiao a legal representative of Huaxia Hall of Medical Fame from the day it was registered. Is there some conspiracy?â
Wang Dacheng shook his head in denial. âNo. If the business of Huaxia Hall of Medical Fame goes well, I plan to marry Xiaoxiao later. So I thought of putting the estate in her name ahead of time.â
Qin Haodong asked, âAre you with Che Xiaoxiao because you love her or for some other reason?â
âBecause I love her, of course. She is the woman who treats me best in the world. Iâll marry her!â
Qin Haodong turned to Nalan Wuxia and said, âCome on, letâs go back.â
Although confused by Qin Haodongâs question and decision, Nalan Wuxia said nothing and left Wang Dachengâs office with him.
After getting in the car, Qin Haodong asked, âDo you think Wang Dachengâs story is believable?â
Nalan Wuxia thought for a moment and then replied, âOut of a womanâs instinct, I think he didnât tell the truth. But out of trust in your interrogation ability, I donât think he could have lied.â
Qin Haodong shook his head and said, âHe fooled us all. What he said today is completely untrue!â
Nalan Wuxia asked in surprise, âWhy? How is that possible? Drug dealers canât lie under your interrogation. How could he lie?â
âI donât know exactly why, but he must have had a special way to avoid my Mind-manipulating,â Qin Haodong said. âI asked him if he loved Che Xiaoxiao to test that. It turns out he lied.â
âOh? You know he doesnât love Che Xiaoxiao?â
âDo you think itâs true?â Qin Haodong asked.
âItâs easy for a man to sleep with a woman, but itâs hard for him to fall in love with a woman. Wang Dacheng left Che Xiaoxiao alone in Huaxia for five years, and the first thing he did after coming back was to propose to Momo. After the proposal failed, he went to Che Xiaoxiao again the next day. Do you think this is true love?â
Nalan Wuxia thought for a moment and said, âI wouldnât be able to do that.â
âNot only did he not love Che Xiaoxiao, but he made her a legal representative. It may well be a conspiracy. He used Che Xiaoxiao as a shield for him to shoulder all legal responsibilities.â
Nalan Wuxia said, âItâs⊠Che Xiaoxiao is so pathetic.â
âYou canât help it. She really loves Wang Dacheng, and nothing can stop it.â
After a pause, Qin Haodong continued, âLast time because of blind faith in the results from Mind-manipulating, I thought there were other people who had genetic toxins besides Wang Dacheng. It now appears there is no second person. Wang Dacheng alone is responsible for all the genetic toxins in the Jiangnan City.â
Then he concluded, âSo Iâm sure Wang Dacheng had something to do with Zhang Tianheâs death and a group of people rioting at Tangmen Company today. Heâs probably behind it.â
Nalan Wuxia asked, âSo what should we do? Shall we go back and arrest him and interrogate him?â
âDonât worry. Now we donât know how he dealt with my Mind-manipulating, but one thingâs for sure. He was prepared,â Qin Haodong replied.
âTomorrow, at the right moment, Iâll give him a sudden attack. The truth will come out.â Said Nalan Wuxia eagerly.
Nalan Wuxia hurriedly added, âArenât we sneak back now and surprise him?â
Qin Haodong explained, âFrom what I know about him, he probably dodged the Mind-manipulating by some special drug. The effect of that medicine is probably still alive. If we go back now, we will not only fail to achieve the desired effect, but will frighten others.â
Nalan Wuxia said, âWell, weâll wait another day.â
Soon after they left, Wang Dacheng left the Hall of Medical Fame. He hurried back to his house, locked the door, took out the separate cell phone and dialed a number.
As the telephone just connect, a deep voice said, âWang, I hear you today send a group of people to Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company, and you failed. Isnât right?â
Wang Dacheng was stunned. It appeared that the boss had other sources of information in Huaxia, and maybe he was watching him.
âYes, boss. I wanted to smear the Blood Revival Elixir, but Qin Haodong saw it through. And he saved the people who had been poisoned.â
The person on the line said, âI already said youâd better not mess with Qin Haodong. You just need to follow the organizationâs plan to destroy traditional Chinese medicine. Donât Huaxia have a saying âteeth are exposed when lips are lostâ? If traditional Chinese medicine falls down, Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company will fall down naturally. No matter how capable Qin Haodong is, he canât change it.â
Knowing that his boss was not satisfied with him, Wang Dacheng quickly explained, âBoss, I thought, most of the traditional Chinese medicine is supported by the Blood Revival Elixir. If there is something wrong with the Blood Revival Elixir, traditional Chinese medicine will certainly suffer fatal injury. Thatâs why I took the risk, but I didnât expect it would fail.â
âLetâs forget about it,â the person on the line said. âHow is your plan going? You know, our company is losing a lot of money every day. You must destroy traditional Chinese medicine and the Blood Revival Elixir as soon as possible.â
âBoss, weâre halfway through the plan. Now itâs finally time to cross hairs. Many people in Huaxia have been clamoring to cancel traditional Chinese medicine!â Wang Dacheng said.
âAccording to my calculation, those who take the Treasure Tablet for Kidney of Hall of Medical Fame will get sick quickly tomorrow. They will be the last straw that breaks the camelâs back. Then I will strike the last blow and traditional Chinese medicine will be finished!â
âGood, finish it as soon as you can. Iâve got the wine ready for you to celebrate.â
âDonât worry, boss, wait for my good news tomorrow!â
After hanging up, Wang Dacheng poured a glass of wine and drained it. âQin Haodong, I know youâre suspecting me, but so what? You canât stop me. Tomorrow you will be buried with traditional Chinese medicine!â He murmured.
The next morning, Qin Haodong and Lin Momo dropped the little fellow off at kindergarten. He was sitting in his office thinking about how to launch an impetuous attack to Wang Dacheng and get to the bottom of it when he got a call from Pan Gaofeng.
âHaodong, come to Jiangnan Hospital at once. Somethingâs wrong!â Pan Gaofengâs voice was full of unprecedented panic.
âWhatâs the matter? Director Pan?â
Qin Haodongâs heart sank. He had a premonition that it must have something to do with traditional Chinese medicine.
âSince last night, the whole Jiangnan City has received dozens of liver disease patients. They all had mild fever, vomiting, poisoning and now they have slipped into a hepatic coma.â
âWhat causes it?â
Pan Gaofeng replied, âThese are all patients taking the Treasure Tablet for Kidney of the Hall of Medical Fame. They all had different degrees of kidney disease before. Now we suspect that the Treasure Tablet for Kidney caused serious liver damage.â
The Treasure Tablet for Kidney? Liver damage? Qin Haodong immediately remembered the Eight Treasures Kidney-nourishing Pills Xie Tian had sent him. The Hall of Medical Fame probably used that prescription to make the Treasure Tablet for Kidney.
âIâm coming now!â
Then Qin Haodong hung up the phone and hurried to the Jiangnan Hospital.
When Qin Haodong arrived at the Director Wenâs office, Pan Gaofeng was having a discussion with Wen Changjiang.
Qin Haodong asked, âDirector Pan, whatâs going on?â
Pan Gaofeng looked grim, replying, âFrom last night to now the whole Jiangnan City is in an outbreak of liver disease. The Jiangnan Hospital alone has received more than 10 patients!â
Qin Haodong said, âTake me over to see the patient.â
Well aware of Qin Haodongâs medical skills, Wen Changjiang took him directly to the ward for a patient with severe liver disease. The man was in his 50s and had fallen into a hepatic coma.
Qin Haodong felt the patientâs pulse first, and then asked the middle-aged woman at the bedside, âDid the patient take Treasure Tablet for Kidney from the Hall of Medical Fame before?â
The middle-aged woman replied, âYes, my husband had some chronic nephritis before, so he bought the Treasure Tablet for Kidney from the Hall of Medical Fame. After he took it, he felt the medicine was good, but we did not expect that he suddenly got the disease. Is it because of the Treasure Tablet for Kidney?â
Qin Haodong said, âDo you take the Treasure Tablet for Kidney with you? Show me.â
âYes, yes! I take it!â
The woman hurriedly took out a box of Treasure Tablet for Kidney brought from the Hall of Medical Fame from the bedside drawer and handed it to Qin Haodong.
Qin Haodong first looked at the formula. Sure enough, the formula was exactly the same as that of the Eight Treasures Kidney-nourishing Pill that Xie Tian took.
He then took out a pill of the Treasure Tablet for Kidney, gently broke off a piece with his fingers and put it in his mouth. He was sure that the Treasure Tablet for Kidney and the Eight Treasures Kidney-nourishing Pill were the same medicine. No wonder it caused serious liver damage.
âWhat about it, Doctor Qin? Is it the drug?â Pan Gaofeng asked with concern.
âYes. This medicine can cause serious liver damage. Someone had come to me with this prescription and wanted the Tangmen Traditional Chinese Medicine Company to mass-produce it, but I refused. I didnât think the Huaxia Hall of Medical Fame would mass-produce it and change its name.â
Qin Haodong said to Pan Gaofeng, âDirector Pan, we must immediately issue a notice for the Hall of Medical Fame to stop selling the Treasure Tablet for Kidney and for patients to stop taking it. Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.â
âAll right, Iâll do it now!â
Pan Gaofeng then left the ward in a hurry. Given the seriousness of the matter, he needed to report to different superiors and act quickly.
Qin Haodong took out the needle bag and went to the patientâs bed.
The middle-aged woman still hadnât figured out what Qin Haodong did. âWhat are you going to do, young man?â She asked nervously.
