Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

Liu Guocheng didn't really like Chen Huo.

Before Chen Huo came to Jinzhou, he lived a very comfortable life.

Women who eat well, drink spicy food, and enjoy fine wine live a very comfortable life.

Since Chen Huo arrived in Jinzhou, he has not had a single day of peace. After revealing the Yamamoto family's acquisition of medicinal herbs to Chen Huo a few days ago, he has been living in constant fear.

Yu Ji had asked him to collect medicinal herbs, and if he didn't explain the situation and couldn't get the herbs, he was afraid that Chen Huo wouldn't let him off easily, so he revealed everything that the Yamamoto family had done.

He thought the matter was over and that the fight between Chen Huo and the Yamamoto family was none of his business. But soon he heard something that made his scalp tingle.

Chen Huo actually looted the Yamamoto family's warehouse!

Yamamoto Juichiro died shortly afterward.

Then a man he had never heard of, named Yamamoto Kyono, came to power.

Chen Huo was completely unharmed.

He was completely unaware of Yamamoto Kyono's situation and was afraid that this Japanese pirate would investigate the past thoroughly. If his actions were exposed, he would surely be punished.

Surely Chen Huo wouldn't send anyone to protect him?

Therefore, Liu Guocheng has been restless these past few days.

He hired several bodyguards to guard his large apartment, and there were surveillance cameras all around the house, for fear that someone would come to kill him. He couldn't even sleep well at night.

It was noon that day.

After drinking a few cups of the medicinal wine, Liu Guocheng finally felt a little sleepy. He lay on the sofa and was just drifting off to sleep when he was suddenly awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

"Damn it, I should have muted it!"

Liu Guocheng cursed under his breath, but he was secretly afraid that the call was from someone he feared, such as Yu Ji, who was by Chen Huo's side, or the manager of the Yamamoto family's company in Jinzhou.

These are all troublesome.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the caller ID.

The call was from an old friend of his, who was also a Chinese herbal medicine dealer, but his business was several levels smaller and less powerful than his; he was a small-scale individual.

However, this person often managed to obtain high-quality medicinal herbs from the mountain people, and the two maintained regular contact. Despite the difference in their social status and wealth, their connection was not severed.

Liu Guocheng was under a lot of pressure and needed to talk to a friend, so he answered the phone.

"Old Du, what made you think of calling me? It's been a while since we had a drink together. Come over to my place, let's have a drink," Liu Guocheng invited warmly.

The other person's next sentence startled him.

"Old Liu, I think I've managed to get my hands on a Crimson Heart Sunflower."

"You old geezer, what are you telling me about getting the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower?"

Liu Guocheng was so angry he was about to curse. Chen Huo was searching everywhere for the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower, having once used it as leverage to force the Wu family head, who was desperate to save his daughter, to find the medicine.

He was aware of the series of changes that followed.

He knew a little about the Yamamoto family's claim that they possessed the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower and were using it as leverage to entangle with Chen Huo. He understood that this thing was a hot potato, something an ordinary person like him shouldn't touch.

Any one of the people here could take him down.

"Hey Liu, what's gotten into you? I thought of you first when I got my hands on some good medicinal herbs, and you think that's wrong? You won't take them? Then I'll go find someone else!" Old Du said angrily on the other end of the phone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guocheng knew that Lao Du was completely unaware of the cause and effect involved in the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower. This was to be expected, since Lao Du was just an insignificant individual medicine dealer.

Having heard the news, Liu Guocheng knew that if he pretended nothing had happened, he would be in big trouble if Chen Huo found out later. So he gritted his teeth and quickly tried to smooth things over.

"It's not that I'm on fire, it's just that you, Lao Du, went too far. I kindly invited you over for drinks, and you tried to fool me with some 'Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower,' a medicinal herb that's been extinct for who knows how many years. How can I not be angry?"

Liu Guocheng, that old fox, successfully changed the subject.

Old Du wasn't as angry after hearing this. He snorted and said, "Did I say for sure that what I got was definitely the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower? I made this call to let you see for yourself, you bastard, can't you tell?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Guocheng recalled that Lao Du had indeed said "I'm afraid he got his hands on a Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower," not "I got my hands on a Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower."

"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong, alright? Let me see it."

"I'm currently in a small town deep in the Bashan Mountains, and I can't get there anytime soon. I'll send you a video call, and you can take a look for me?"

"OK."

Liu Guocheng hung up the phone, and before he could think about what to do if the medicinal materials were genuine, Lao Du made a video call. After answering and exchanging greetings, Lao Du pointed the camera at the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower.

Upon closer inspection, Liu Guocheng's eyes widened even further.

A thought struck him, and he quickly turned on the screen recording function.

"Turn the light around... shine it on a brighter spot... look at the roots... break it open and look at the cross-section... Holy crap, it might really be a Crimson Heart Sunflower, Lao Du, you're rich now!" Liu Guocheng exclaimed.

Flameheart sunflower is a perennial herbaceous medicinal plant. The whole plant is covered with fine hairs, and the rhizome is short and thick, flattened and spherical, with a brownish-red surface and irregular longitudinal stripes.

These are the external characteristics of the Crimson Heart Sunflower.

However, it is not the most important determining factor.

The true Crimson Heart Sunflower has a light orange-red cross-section of its rhizome, with a small, pale yellow pith in the center, surrounded by fine red veins resembling flame patterns.

This is the origin of its name "Xin Kui".

Liu Guocheng had never seen the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower before. He had only learned these judgments from ancient pharmacopoeias, and that was about all he could remember. Of course, none of this mattered.

The important thing is how to handle this news.

"Haha... Great! I'll bring it to you, you can see it in person and then give me a good price!" Old Du said with a big laugh.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guocheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "I've never seen this thing before either. How about I introduce you to a super rich patron so he can talk to you?"

"Alright!"

"Then wait a moment."

Liu Guocheng hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then called Chen Huo.

He couldn't help but get involved.

Since that's the case, it's better to act as a messenger rather than directly participate in the transaction. That way, the forces that don't want Chen Huo to obtain the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower will be less angry with him in the future.

The reason he chose to tell Chen Huo was because, according to the information he had, Chen Huo had always had the upper hand in the struggle with various forces, which was a choice he had no other choice but to make.

Chen Huo answered the phone very quickly.

"What is it?"

"Dr. Chen, I think I've found the Crimson Flame Heart Sunflower."

"...Where?"

"It's in the hands of a small-time herbal medicine dealer friend of mine. I've never seen this before, so I can't confirm its authenticity. You'll have to examine it yourself, Dr. Chen."

Liu Guocheng said cautiously.
