Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Divine Doctor Hou_1
Yoshida Takuma immediately made several phone calls and finally learned some news.
Last night, a headless female body appeared in the Dynasty Grand Hotel, and the murderer had escaped. The Patrol Team had not found his tracks and was issuing a citywide manhunt.
A headless female corpse, the killer fled?
Combining these two pieces of information, Yoshida Takuma immediately concluded that it must have been his second brother’s doing. Therefore, his second brother was unreachable because he was probably hiding due to this incident.
After all, with the headless female corpse causing a commotion throughout the city, one should indeed lay low for a while and wait for the uproar to subside.
As for Lu Hongxia, although she had been married to Yoshida Takuma for several years, she was unaware that the Yoshida family belonged to a lineage of wizards, let alone that her father-in-law was the number one wizard in Sakura Country!
...
At Haiyun Group, Xue Xiaochan had gone to a meeting, while Qin Feng had bought a bunch of stewed chicken feet, which he was gnawing on in her office, leaving the desk littered with chicken bones and the room smelling of marinade.
Knock, knock, knock.
With the sound of high heels striking the floor like a chord, Xue Xiaochan returned.
Seeing her neatly kept office turned into a complete mess by Qin Feng, her eyebrows shot up, and she roared, "Look at the mess you’ve made! Clean it up right now!"
"Clean up what? You?" Qin Feng said cheekily and then, with a bear hug, wrapped his arms around Xue Xiaochan’s slender waist.
"Get lost! Your hands are greasy, don’t touch me randomly."
"The greasier the better, makes it slick!"
"Get out!" Xue Xiaochan pushed Qin Feng gently and said, "If you’re not busy, run an errand for me. Our company has an account at Zhonghai Bank that hasn’t been used in a while. I want to reactivate it, you go handle the paperwork."
"Isn’t that something the finance department should do?"
"Ran Jie used to do it before, but now she’s busy with Shencao Ji, and you are my assistant, so from now on, such matters will be left to you."
...
Half an hour later, Qin Feng, armed with a stack of documents, arrived at the business hall of Zhonghai Bank.
He took a number from the machine, and the display showed that there were 16 people ahead of him. With only four service counters open, and by estimate, each person would take at least twenty minutes, he wouldn’t be able to get to his business for at least another hour.
Just as Qin Feng was about to die of boredom, a crowd suddenly gathered outside, as if something exciting was happening.
Qin Feng hurried over to look and discovered a middle-aged man lying unconscious on the ground.
His name was Yang Jun, the manager of Zhonghai Bank. His assistant, Wang Juan, quickly pulled out her phone and dialed for an ambulance.
Before Wang Juan could finish her call, a balding middle-aged man stood out from the crowd and shouted, "Make way, everyone! I’m Hou Jiangbao from Apricot Grove Hall, known as Hou Sanzhen, and I can save him."
Apricot Grove Hall! Hou Sanzhen!
These six words sent a shockwave through the crowd. All the onlookers couldn’t help but start discussing.
"Apricot Grove Hall is the top pharmacy in Zhonghai, decked with honor flags. There’s a saying here in Zhonghai: ’If Yama prescribes your death at the third watch, Apricot Grove Hall can keep you alive till the fifth watch.’"
"The Hou Family is a traditional medicine family; Hou Jiangbao is the only one of the three sons to have inherited the true teachings of the family head. Hou Sanzhen is a thousand-year-old family secret passed down through the generations, each time only to the most exceptional son."
"With Hou Jiangbao stepping in, the man lying on the ground will surely turn misfortune into a blessing and be saved."
...
After hearing the crowd’s discussion, Wang Juan realized the weight behind the name Hou Jiangbao, so she quickly pleaded, "Divine Doctor Hou, please, you must save our Manager Yang! As long as you can bring him back, there will be a great reward!"
"When the Hou Family treats someone, it is to cure illnesses and save lives, to benefit all beings, not for some great reward. It doesn’t matter whether he is the bank manager or a beggar; in my eyes, Hou Jiangbao, they are the same—all are precious lives. Miss, rest assured, if he can be saved, I’ll spare no effort in doing so!"
Despite his righteous words, Hou Jiangbao was actually motivated to help because he recognized the man as Yang Jun, the manager of Zhonghai Bank.
If it had been a beggar lying on the ground, he wouldn’t have even bothered to glance. Saving a beggar would bring no reward, only dirty his hands.
Qin Feng had intended to step in, but since Hou Jiangbao took the initiative, he naturally chose to stand by and watch! Qin Feng didn’t care to steal the limelight because he prefered to keep a low profile, not to become the center of attention.
"Let’s give a hand here, help move him to that bench, please."
Hou Jiangbao directed the crowd to lift Yang Jun onto a bench.
Then, he squatted down and began to take Yang Jun’s pulse. After examining, he asked Wang Juan, "Does Manager Yang have a heart condition?"
"Yes!" Wang Juan recalled and said, "He had a check-up last month, and a problem with his heart was indeed found. The doctor recommended a heart bypass surgery, but Manager Yang was too busy to undergo the operation, so it was postponed."
"Not undergoing the heart bypass surgery was the right decision. Even after such surgery, his heart condition could only be temporarily alleviated. To truly cure it, you have to rely on the traditional medicine of Dragon Country! Western medicine with its clever tricks can only treat symptoms, but our traditional medicine can cure the root cause."
