Chapter 100

Ouyang Hui and her son took a taxi and hurriedly rushed to the Health Bureau.

After finding Secretary Wang's office, they walked in with a fawning expression, the pride they had shown in front of Ye Bufe's mother and son long gone.

"Hello, Secretary Wang, we are from Wufeng County..."

Ouyang Hui said, handing over the premium West Lake Longjing tea in her hand. Seeing that Secretary Wang did not take it, she placed it on the nearby table herself.

Secretary Wang raised his head and said, "Oh, I am an old classmate of Old Kang, there's no need to be so formal."

Ouyang Hui said, "Secretary Wang, Old Kang has already told you about Little Jun's illness. This time, we want to have Old Cao take a look."

"Old Cao is a famous traditional Chinese medicine expert here, his skills are no less than those of the national masters. There are very few diseases he can't cure."

Secretary Wang paused for a moment, "However, Old Cao has a very stubborn personality. I can only try to bring you to him, but I can't guarantee anything."

Ouyang Hui said with a flattering smile, "Secretary Wang, you are the chief secretary of the bureau, which doctor wouldn't give you face?"

Secretary Wang said, "Old Cao is the top medical expert in Jiangnan City, both in terms of seniority and status. Even if the bureau chief came in person, whether he would give face depends on his mood. In the entire Huaxia, the only person who can command Old Cao to do as he says is that one person."

Ouyang Hui and her son's eyes were full of envy, but they did not have the courage to ask who that person was. In their view, anyone with a higher status than the bureau chief must be a high-ranking official or a wealthy tycoon.

"Alright, since you're here, let's go and try our luck."

Secretary Wang said, leading the two out and heading towards the Bai Cao Tang clinic.

At the Luo family, Luo Wentao stood respectfully in the reception hall. Opposite him stood two Taoist priests and a Taoist nun in Taoist robes.

Over the years, the Luo family had been working with Xuan Ji, and they knew very well about his background.

After killing Xuan Ji, they immediately sent his body back to his sect, Qingyun Dao Guan. The two people in front of him were Xuan Ji's senior brother Xuan Huo and senior sister Xuan Ying.

They looked to be only in their forties or fifties, but they were actually over eighty years old, especially Xuan Ying, whose cultivation had reached the early Xuan stage.

Xuan Ying asked, "Luo Wentao, explain clearly how my junior brother died."

At that moment, her face was full of ferocity, lacking the kindness and benevolence that a Taoist should have.

"Seniors, it happened like this..."

Luo Wentao began to speak with a sorrowful expression.

The reason he killed Xuan Ji was to frame someone, so he had already prepared his story, shifting all the blame onto Ye Bufan.

"Seniors, it happened like this. That Ye Bufan used despicable means, not only stealing the treasure from Master Xuan Ji but also killing him. By the time I arrived, Master Xuan Ji was already dead. I am powerless and unable to avenge Master Xuan Ji, so I could only send his body back. I beg the two of you to avenge Master Xuan Ji; his death was truly tragic."

As he spoke, he shed a few tears.

Xuan Huo said angrily, "Damn it, someone actually dared to attack a member of our Qingyun Sect. They must be tired of living."

Xuan Ying asked, "Do you know where that Ye boy is now?"

Luo Wentao said, "I know. I am sure that the Qingyun Sect will avenge Master Xuan Ji, so I have been sending people to keep an eye on him these days."

Xuan Ying said, "Find his exact location immediately, and we will go and kill him now."

Secretary Wang brought Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun to the Bai Cao Tang clinic. As the secretary of the Health Bureau chief, he was very familiar with the people here. After entering, he said to the receptionist at the front desk, "I would like to see Old Cao."

The receptionist politely said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Wang, Old Cao has instructed that he will not see any patients or visitors recently."

Kang Zhijun said, "Not even Secretary Wang? This is the secretary of the bureau chief."

"No, there are no exceptions with Old Cao."

The receptionist looked at Kang Zhijun as if he were an idiot. This is Bai Cao Tang, and with Old Cao's status, even Zhou Yongliang could not force him to do anything, let alone a secretary of the bureau chief.

Secretary Wang also glared at Kang Zhijun, blaming him for his lack of understanding.

Feeling Secretary Wang's dissatisfaction, Kang Zhijun closed his mouth sheepishly.

Secretary Wang turned back and said to the receptionist, "When will Old Cao see patients again?"

The receptionist said, "I'm not sure. I heard that Old Cao is researching a new acupuncture technique and won't see patients until he finishes his research."

"Thank you, I understand."

Secretary Wang then led Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun to the side and said, "There's nothing I can do. I've done my best. If you want to see Old Cao, you'll have to wait for some time."

(To be continued, please turn the page)

Kang Zhijun said, "We can't wait. My head hurts so badly at night, I'll die in a few days."

Ouyang Hui pleaded, "Yes, Secretary Wang, please help us think of a way."

Secretary Wang said, "If you want to see other traditional Chinese medicine doctors, I can help, but I can't help with Old Cao."

Ouyang Hui said, "We've seen many other doctors, but none of them have any solutions."

Kang Zhijun said, "Uncle Wang, you are a big leader, and he is just a small doctor. Can't you make him listen? Send some people to shut down his clinic, and I bet he won't act so high and mighty then."

"Shut up, can you just say such things?"

Secretary Wang glared at him and looked around, fortunately, no one had heard what he said.

He then said sternly, "What do you know? Old Cao has an extremely high status in Jiangnan City, even the top leaders have to give him face. You want to shut down his clinic? Are you out of your mind?"

"He's just a child, he doesn't know any better. Don't take it to heart," Ouyang Hui said, "Secretary Wang, is there really no other way?"

"There isn't. I can't help with this. You'll have to find someone else."

Secretary Wang clearly was very dissatisfied with Kang Zhijun and turned to leave. At that moment, Ye Bufan walked in from the door.

Ouyang Hui said in surprise, "Why is he here?"

Kang Zhijun said, "Do we even need to ask? He must have heard we came to Bai Cao Tang and wants to take advantage of us to see Old Cao. What a shameless person."

Ouyang Hui said, "Yes, he's too devious."

The two spoke confidently, thinking Ye Bufan would come to them, but he didn't even look their way and walked straight to Cao Xinghua's room.

"Hey? What's going on? Didn't they say Old Cao won't see anyone? How did he get in?"

Ouyang Hui called out to the receptionist at the door, "What's the meaning of this? Why can't we go in, but he can?"

Kang Zhijun followed, "Yes, why can he go in and we can't?"

The receptionist looked at the mother and son and said sarcastically, "Are you both out of your minds? How dare you compare yourselves to Doctor Ye?"

"Doctor Ye? What Doctor Ye?"

Ouyang Hui and Kang Zhijun were completely baffled.
