Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison
Chapter 223 Don't Ask What You Shouldn't Ask
"That's right, this is the list of medicinal herbs Chen Huo gave me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
The middle-aged man let out a cold shout, and his aura suddenly exploded.
Liu Guocheng felt as if a hurricane was crushing him head-on. He stumbled back three steps, his heart feeling as if it were being squeezed by a giant hand, as if the other party could crush it with a single thought.
The middle-aged man's face was full of anger.
"Do you think I know nothing? The combination of these herbs is very problematic. Several of them have conflicting properties and cannot be neutralized at all. This is clearly a fake prescription!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guocheng, his face deathly pale, cautiously replied, "I didn't say what kind of prescription it was. This is just a purchasing list Chen Huo gave me. Isn't it normal to have some herbs to cover up the truth?"
Although Liu Guocheng's strength is mediocre.
But as a seasoned veteran, he's still quite sharp-witted.
He could tell that the middle-aged man was very interested in the pills that Chen Huo was going to refine and wanted to get Chen Huo's pill formula. But Chen Huo wasn't stupid. How could he just give him the pill formula and let him buy it?
This list has definitely been tampered with.
You didn't even think of that? What an idiot!
The middle-aged man was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then withdrew his imposing manner.
He said bitterly, "That Chen Huo is truly as cunning as a fox!"
You're so stupid!
Liu Guocheng cursed under his breath.
He then cautiously said, "Sir, I've given you the list of medicinal herbs. May I now go about my business?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened: "We haven't even gotten the important business done yet, and you're already trying to slip away? Bring me the medicinal herbs you've already purchased for Chen Huo; I want to inspect them one by one."
Liu Guocheng's heart skipped a beat: "You're going to tamper with the medicinal herbs?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
……
Chen Huo gained quite a bit from his battle with Wu Shuo.
According to Gu Yingxue, her brother would arrive this afternoon.
Therefore, Chen Huo did not go out, but meditated and cultivated in his hotel suite.
Yu Ji, on the other hand, went out and drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class that Lü Shengcai had given her. She went to an outdoor equipment store with great enthusiasm and bought a lot of outdoor gear to prepare for the upcoming trip.
It will take Liu Guocheng time to gather all the medicinal herbs.
Even after obtaining the medicinal herbs, they couldn't refine them in Jinzhou.
I have to go back to Jiangcheng.
As for Gu Yingxue's brother Luo Yunxi's illness, in her opinion, it was just a minor problem for Chen Huo. As long as he saw the patient, he could resolve it on the same day.
So she still had time to travel with Chen Huo.
At lunchtime, Yu Ji returned, bringing Chen Huo a pack of Jinzhou specialties. While eating, she excitedly talked about what equipment she had bought that day and her upcoming itinerary.
Just as the two were finishing their meal, Chen Huo's phone rang.
It was Gu Yingxue calling.
"Dr. Chen, my brother has arrived earlier than expected. I'm here to pick you up from the hotel now. Is this a convenient time for you?" Gu Yingxue spoke cautiously.
"No need, just give me an address, I'll drive there myself," Chen Huo said casually.
"That's fine then, thank you for your trouble."
I still prefer the way you used to talk.
Now Gu Yingxue speaks too cautiously, and Chen Huo doesn't like this way of communicating. But Gu Yingxue, who needs something from him, doesn't dare to speak to Chen Huo as casually as before.
"Understood, Dr. Chen. I'll send you the address right away. Please drive carefully on the road."
"All right."
Helpless, Chen Huo hung up the phone.
A few seconds later, Chen Huo received the address information.
Luo Yunxi was at a private sanatorium in the north of the city. The two drove for about forty minutes to get there. Gu Yingxue was already waiting at the gate. When she saw the car arrive, she quickly came over to greet them.
"Mr. Chen, Ms. Yu, you've finally arrived."
Gu Yingxue opened the car door and said very politely.
Chen Huo cut straight to the point: "Where is the patient?"
"Mr. Chen, please come with me!"
Led by Gu Yingxue, Chen Huo and Yu Ji arrived at a separate small building in the sanatorium. Several young men, who were clearly martial arts masters, were guarding the building. Judging from their aura, they were all experts at the King Realm.
It's clear that Luo Yunxi isn't entirely without influence within the Luo family.
Gu Yingxue explained in a low voice, "These are all people sent by the head of the Luo family."
Chen Huo didn't want to ask about these things.
But since she had brought it up, she casually asked, "Given these people's strength, if someone were to actually harm Luo Yunxi, they probably wouldn't be able to do much, would they?"
Gu Yingxue stated simply and clearly: "The patriarch has given an order that no member of the clan at the Emperor Realm is allowed to leave the clan during this period, and those who violate this order will be severely punished."
Chen Huo suddenly realized what was happening.
This is a way of protecting Luo Yunxi. The head of the Luo family obviously knows that someone is targeting Luo Yunxi. However, Chen Huo is a little curious. Since he knows, why doesn't he deal with the person who is trying to harm Luo Yunxi?
Is the wife of the Luo family patriarch really that terrifying?
Gu Yingxue's words reminded Chen Huo of something else.
"By the way, someone called me yesterday threatening me not to let me treat your brother's illness."
"Who?"
A murderous glint suddenly flashed in Gu Yingxue's eyes, and she asked in a deep voice.
Chen Huo shook his head: "I don't know him, and his voice is unfamiliar. He didn't say who he was and denied being a member of the Luo family."
"snort!"
Gu Yingxue gritted her teeth and said, "It must have been that old woman who arranged this! She doesn't want my brother to live, and she's afraid that my brother's potential will pose a threat to her son in the future."
At this point, Gu Yingxue paused for a moment, then said very solemnly:
"Thank you, Chen Huo!"
She knew that since Chen Huo had told her about this directly and had already come, it meant that he hadn't changed his mind because of the other party's threats. This was undoubtedly a risky move, so she was very grateful to Chen Huo.
Chen Huo nodded without saying anything.
Yu Ji warned, "The problem now is that vicious woman. Besides the Emperor Realm expert from the Luo family, she can also command other Emperor Realm experts. Your brother is still in danger."
Gu Yingxue snorted coldly, "I, Gu Yingxue, am not one to be trifled with! Anyone who wants to harm my brother will have to step over my dead body first! Once Chen Huo heals my brother, we siblings will be even less afraid when we join forces!"
As they were talking, the group arrived at a room.
"Brother, Dr. Chen is here."
Gu Yingxue called out and pushed open the door to the room.
Chen Huo had expected to see a young man lying in bed with a face full of pain and resentment, but what he saw was a young man wearing a white training uniform, sitting cross-legged with a smile on his face.
This young man had striking features, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He possessed a calm and composed demeanor. If it weren't for his deathly pale face and disordered breathing, no one would have guessed that he was in a dangerous situation where he was seriously injured and his cultivation was in danger of being lost.
"You silly girl, you didn't even tell me in advance so I could have gone to greet Doctor Chen."
Luo Yunxi stood up, gave Gu Yingxue a slightly helpless scolding, then extended his hand to Chen Huo, bowed slightly and smiled, "I was somewhat impolite for not being able to come out to greet you, please forgive me, Doctor Chen."
