The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

This person possesses ancient medical books and is also proficient in treating various difficult and complicated diseases; his medical skills are superb.

I just don't know if this person is from China or simply wants to take revenge on China.

If it's the former, as any Chinese person knows, a traitor is someone who deserves to be killed by everyone; if it's the latter, a treacherous scheme also deserves to die.

I just don't know if Ling Wenchen can find any clues at the Southern District border.

As she pondered, Jiang Yuyan slowly drifted off to sleep, unaware that she had fallen asleep.

Lately, I don't know if it's because of pregnancy, but besides having strange and unusual tastes, I've been extremely sleepy.

The next day.

Jiang Yuyan went to Ling Wenchen's office, but did not see him.

Two soldiers were assigned to protect her. They let her sit down, poured her a cup of hot tea, and, fearing she might be bored, gave her some newspapers to read.

Jiang Yuyan had just taken a sip of water when Ling Wenchen came in, his eyes dark and swollen, clearly indicating he hadn't slept the previous night.

"Let's go back and pack our things first. I'll take you to the southern border. The situation there is very chaotic right now. We might need to go and see for ourselves what we're investigating."

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yuyan panicked, "My master, is my master alright? He's been in the Southern District for several days now. If something goes wrong there—"

Ling Wenchen knew what she wanted to ask, and shook his head slightly at her.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qi is an important pharmacist in our country. His security is absolutely tight and leaves no room for error. We will not allow him to suffer even the slightest loss. You don't need to worry."

Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, went back to pack her luggage, and then followed Ling Wenchen and a small squad of soldiers to the southern border.

Beyond the eastern border, the landscape became increasingly desolate.

Just from the geographical environment alone, it is clear that the difference between the East District and the South District is not even a tiny bit.

At least the soil in the eastern district can still grow green plants and be self-sufficient.

The southern border stretches as far as the eye can see, with endless sand and a scorching climate, a stark contrast to the eastern region.

Meanwhile, on Jiang Yuyan's way to the southern border, Master Qi was also working hard to study the corpses sent over from the base.

Looking at the documents in my hand, a bunch of data still didn't match up. I've been working on it for days and nights and still haven't gotten anywhere. It's really frustrating.

"Mr. Qi, news has come from the East District that your apprentice has found the location of the new drug, but its drawback lies in the lumbar spine."

Anyone who has taken the new drug has had their lumbar spine shattered; through this lumbar spine, we can greatly suppress that rampant flame.

Mr. Qi licked his dry lips. "Has the news been confirmed? Is it true?"

Although Jiang Yuyan is his apprentice, he still has to ask the questions and follow the proper procedures.

"It's true. We specifically examined their bodies today, and their lumbar vertebrae were indeed shattered."

However, aside from a few cases of lumbar vertebrae being shattered, most were cervical vertebrae shattered. I'm not sure if this situation is the same as lumbar vertebrae shattering.

Having learned that the bodies had severe joint defects, the soldiers on the southern border paid special attention to which parts of the bodies were not intentionally crushed when collecting the corpses.

"Show me the data reported by the East District. Also, keep the shattered lumbar and cervical spine bodies we brought back today separate and don't mix them together."

The assistant nodded, seeing that the old gentleman intended to continue working, he hesitated for a moment, then still advised against it.

"Mr. Qi, it's already noon. You haven't had a drop of water since yesterday afternoon. If you don't eat soon, you might not be able to hold on until your apprentice arrives."

Master Qi paused in his flipping through the documents. "What did you say?"

"Huh? Did I just say I wanted you to have dinner?"

"Next sentence!"

"I'm saying if you don't eat soon, you might not make it until your apprentice arrives?"

"Why didn't you tell me my apprentice was coming? Go, go, go eat quickly. After you eat, I need to get a good night's sleep, otherwise, if that girl sees me like this, she'll laugh herself to death!"

As he spoke, he casually tossed the documents to his assistant, tidied himself up, and finally left the morgue.

This girl is really efficient. He thought he would find out the results before her, but unexpectedly, she found out first.

Hehe, as expected of my disciple Qi Ming!

Just as Master Qi was happily thinking about this, he was walking towards the cafeteria when he encountered two people on the way, talking about something with dissatisfaction and disdain on their faces.

"...Impossible. I'd believe it more if you said it was Old Master Qi who found out. I heard his apprentice is not even twenty yet. How could someone so young be found out so quickly?"

"I don't believe it either. Listen to the information reported from the East District base. Although there is some, there isn't much. It must have been a coincidence for her. Humph, what good is a little girl?"

"Yes, a woman who goes out in public and goes to a military base that is mostly men must be a restless woman."

"If you ask me, these restless women should be kept at home and taught a lesson so they'll know what women are supposed to do."

The two got more and more carried away with their conversation, and their ramblings became increasingly outrageous, spilling out all sorts of vulgar and brutal nonsense, completely unaware that the person in question was being overheard nearby by their master.

The assistant trembled, glancing cautiously at Mr. Qi, whose beard was already bristling with anger, and then at the two clueless fools in front of him.

"Mr. Qi—"

"Go investigate those two and find out where they got the information they mentioned." Master Qi's eyes were icy cold, as if he were looking at a dead man.

The assistant immediately understood what he meant.

The biggest difference between the South and East zones is that the South zone is sparsely populated, with fewer habitable areas.

As a result, when the South Base often needs to urgently collect bodies or other items, it will look for a group of volunteers to help.

These volunteers are mostly farmers who have come from the countryside to try and earn a living, and most of them are honest and hardworking, but there are still some who try to cheat and shirk their duties.

Master Qi stopped paying attention to those two people; he knew his assistant would give him a satisfactory result regarding the rest.

After eating and washing up, he fell into a deep sleep. Before falling asleep, he was still thinking that when Jiang Yuyan came over, he would have to take a good look at her recent health condition.

I wonder if she told Ling Wenchen about her pregnancy?

With these questions in mind, Master Qi fell asleep instantly and started snoring loudly.

...

Around noon, Ling Wenchen signaled to the cars behind him to stop for a rest and lunch.

It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry to get going, but Jiang Yuyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was deathly pale, covered in cold sweat, and even touching her hand felt icy cold, without a trace of warmth.

Ling Wenchen parked the car, helped Jiang Yuyan out to get some fresh air, and handed her a water bottle to drink.

"Is something wrong with your health? Otherwise, why would your face be so pale just from sitting in a car?"

He knew that Jiang Yuyan was neither a pretentious woman nor a fragile person.

Otherwise, if Lin Shiping had told her about her time on the farm, she would have been buried somewhere long ago, and how could she have survived until the Lin family returned to the city?

Jiang Yuyan gulped down more than half of the water before she finally felt alive again.

Hearing his question, she felt helpless. She didn't want to be so fragile, but her body wasn't what it used to be. Otherwise, she would never want to suffer like this, even just sitting in a car.

"I'm fine. It's just that I might be having some trouble adjusting to the new environment. I'll be fine in a few days."

Meeting his suspicious gaze, Jiang Yuyan opened her mouth. If she told him now that she was pregnant with his child, would it scare him to death?
