"Uncle Chu, if there's nothing else, I'll head to school first?" Lin Yi had said what he needed to say, and the rest was up to Chu Pengzhan to handle.

"Alright," Chu Pengzhan nodded, "don't tell Yaoyao about today's events. I don't want her to be too troubled."

"Don't worry, Uncle Chu, I won't say anything." Lin Yi stood up, ready to leave.

"Li Fu, you take Xiao Yi to school." Chu Pengzhan instructed the old butler.

"Sure, Mr. Chu." The old butler nodded in agreement.

"No need, I can just hail a taxi downstairs." Lin Yi quickly said, planning to go to a pharmacy and not wanting Li Fu to follow him. There were some things he didn't want others to know too much about.

"Alright then." Seeing Lin Yi's insistence, Chu Pengzhan didn't push further, "Before I resolve the company's issues, please take care of Yaoyao's safety."

"Heh—" Lin Yi waved his hand, "Uncle Chu, since my mission is related to Miss Chu, I naturally won't let anything happen to her before the mission starts."

Chu Pengzhan nodded, then sighed slightly. He originally thought this task would be a good deal for Lin Yi, but now it seemed Lin Yi wasn't particularly interested in Chu Mengya? He didn't know how his father had arranged it, but he decided to follow the plan.

"Li Fu, go and inform the administrative department to prepare the meeting room. I need to hold a board meeting this afternoon!" Chu Pengzhan didn't insist on Li Fu accompanying Lin Yi because he had other tasks for him.

"Sure, Mr. Chu." The old butler nodded and quickly left Chu Pengzhan's office. Although Chu Pengzhan had a dedicated secretary, there were many things he couldn't let the secretary know, only Li Fu, his trusted confidant, could handle them. So in many situations, Li Fu also acted as a secretary.

Leaving Pengzhan Building, Lin Yi casually hailed a taxi.

"Where are you headed, young man?" The driver asked after Lin Yi got in, pressing the meter.

"Driver, do you know where I can buy wholesale traditional Chinese medicine?" Lin Yi wasn't familiar with Songshan City, but some old taxi drivers were like living maps, knowing everything about the city's various industries.

"Oh, you mean traditional Chinese medicine. Do you want the loose herbs or the prepared medicines?" The driver wasn't sure what Lin Yi needed.

"Heh—" Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh at the driver's description. To many ordinary people, traditional Chinese medicine was just like twigs and branches: "The loose herbs!"

Lin Yi didn't correct the driver, as long as they understood each other, it was fine.

"For wholesale, you need to go to the Qiaonan Village Chinese Medicine Wholesale Market," the driver said, "but it's not in the city, and it takes half a day to get there. If you only need a small amount, you can go to a larger pharmacy, which has a wider selection."

Hearing the driver's words, Lin Yi decided not to go to the wholesale market for now. He could buy what he needed at a pharmacy, so he said, "Then please take me to a larger pharmacy."

"That's easy." The driver started the car.

After a few turns, the car stopped in front of a large pharmacy. The driver hadn't taken a detour, and the meter only showed the initial fare.

Lin Yi paid the fare, thanked the driver, and got out, heading into the pharmacy.

Entering the pharmacy, Lin Yi marveled at how profitable the medical industry was. Even in broad daylight, the pharmacy was crowded with people buying medicine, and many common drug counters were already surrounded.

However, Lin Yi was buying traditional Chinese herbs, which fewer people bought. He handed the list he had prepared to the salesperson, who gave him a receipt and directed him to pay. The list of herbs Lin Yi needed was extensive, and weighing them would take some time. Fortunately, there were no other customers, so Lin Yi took the opportunity to wander around the pharmacy while the salesperson weighed the herbs.

"Golden Wound Medicine." A voice caught Lin Yi's attention.

Golden Wound Medicine? Lin Yi was taken aback. There was such a medicine?

Golden Wound Medicine, the term "golden" refers to metal objects like knives. In ancient times, the most common injuries were from weapons, so "golden" also referred to weapons. "Wound" means injury. Therefore, Golden Wound Medicine is specifically used to treat injuries from knives and other metal weapons, with effects like stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and reducing inflammation.

However, Golden Wound Medicine is an ancient term. There doesn't seem to be any medicine called Golden Wound Medicine nowadays.

"None left, sold out." The salesperson answered the person without any expression.

Lin Yi glanced over and saw a girl in black, wearing a navy cap with the brim pulled low, making it impossible to see her face. After hearing the salesperson's response, the girl didn't say anything and turned to leave, but her steps were somewhat unsteady...

Suddenly, Lin Yi's gaze fixed on the girl's feet. As she walked, a trail of fresh blood dragged along the ground, clearly flowing down her pant leg. In the bustling pharmacy, no one noticed the blood trail, which was quickly trampled by the passing crowd.

Lin Yi noticed the girl for two reasons: one, her mention of Golden Wound Medicine piqued his curiosity, and two, he sensed a faint aura of killing intent from her.

Killing intent is a mysterious thing. It is a signal emitted by animals when they attack, which requires a "sixth sense" to detect!

Someone once conducted an experiment, placing a wild cat from the forest and a mouse in a box, separated by two soundproof thin boards. The boards were not far apart, and the smell was eliminated, and they couldn't see each other. The cat seemed to sense something, trying to break through the board, constantly scratching it with its claws, while the mouse curled up on the other side, clearly sensing the cat's presence. The cat and the mouse both sensed each other, but how did they do it?

Scientists explained that this might be the sixth sense of animals, which is not detected through the ears, nose, or eyes. Animals can sense the signals emitted by predators or other animals that want to attack them through their sixth sense. This signal can be interpreted as "killing intent."

Humans also have a sixth sense, but it has weakened over time as humans have distanced themselves from nature. However, some people with stronger perception still retain this sixth sense, such as veterans who can sense whether there are hidden enemies, or hunters who live in the forest all their lives. These people, who have long faced life and death, can gradually develop this sense.
