Physician’s Odyssey

Although Su Tao did not see Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei, he knew that the two of them weren't doing much better than him at this moment. He was treated like a sandbag and was beaten up. But fortunately, he practised the Pulse Art, and his physique was stronger than an ordinary person's Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to get up after the beating.

As for Deng Feng, seeing how tough Su Tao was in keeping his mouth shut despite the beating, he couldn't help cursing, "What a tough bone!"

Right now, the identity that Deng Feng gave Su Tao was a terrorist who harmed China's international friends. The thirty-odd Africans were all illegal immigrants, so he could only arrange for a fake identity for them to allow them to be under the protection of China's law.

After entering the room again, Deng Feng gave Su Tao a cup of water.

Su Tao was a little thirsty, and he wasn't afraid of anything added to the water. Hence, he gulped it down. "Well, I have to say that I was getting a little thirsty."

Looking at Su Tao with a smile, Deng Feng replied, "Truth be told, I have no idea why you are persisting. We have already investigated the matter and due to the fact that you've committed an act of terror that harms our international friends, you will probably be in prison for about thirty years according to my expectations. At the same time, we're still investigating if you have any connections with the terrorists in Middle East."

"I believe that your words weren't recorded in audio, right?" Su Tao felt a little dizzy, which meant that there must be an issue with the water that Deng Feng fed him. It could weaken someone's willpower, and it's commonly used by spies and secret agents.

Nodding his head, Deng Feng replied, "That's right. So if you have anything you want to say, you can tell me right now. You don't have to worry that I will leave any evidence behind."

"Do you need me to give you a reminder about of my professionalism?" Su Tao smiled.

"What?" Deng Feng was baffled as he looked at Su Tao.

"I'm a physician, and I can tell many things about a person with my eyes." Su Tao smiled and continued, "Your kidney function isn't good, and it should be kidney stones. Although you've undergone surgery, they weren't cleaned up well, so there are still some fragments left. If you continue to indulge in debauchery, I'm afraid that you only have three to four years left."

"You!" Deng Feng bounced up as he stared at Su Tao in rage. He felt that Su Tao was humiliating and cursing him.

All of a sudden, Su Tao's muddied eyes became clear as he said, "I'm a doctor, and I have my own principles. My principles aren't something that people like you can understand."

Coldly looking at Su Tao, Deng Feng felt that the medicine he fed Su Tao wasn't effective. Instantly, he felt a chill down his spine and he did not continue to converse with Su Tao. He then stood up. "Let me tell you something. The lady that you hurt has already been released by us. She's only an ordinary citizen."

When Deng Feng walked to the entrance, Su Tao sighed, "Take care of your kidneys!"

Deng Feng's figure suddenly trembled as he felt a chill in his waist. He had investigated Su Tao's identity, and the latter was a National Healer. At the same time, Su Tao also managed to tell that he had kidney stones in the past that left him somewhat worried. Su Tao's words made him feel uneasy and he wondered if his kidney stones came back.

After all, Su Tao wouldn't use his medical skills to bluff others. Deng Feng's kidney stones were pretty serious, and as for his remaining lifespan, Su Tao wasn't bluffing him either.

His reminder for Deng Feng wasn't to save him, but it's to strike fear in Deng Feng.

If someone knew that he had a terminal illness, his psychology would take a hit and start to suspect.

Su Tao's first revenge for Deng Feng was to make the latter feel fear and uneasiness.

As for whether he could get out, Su Tao wasn't confident. He only hoped that the Shui Family could receive the information quickly. With his trust for Sire Shui, he knew that the latter would definitely help him, and this was also the reason why he could maintain his calm.

Qiongjin City, the Shui Family's Residence

Ah Jun was a little anxious as he reported the situation to Sire Shui. Hearing the report, Sire Shui frowned. "Nanyue Province as one of the frontlines for the reformation, and it's really getting more and more out of hand. Not only is it in chaos, but they even fail to recognise good and evil? Are they blind?"

"This matter involves Shao Jing, one of the Young Masters from the south of the capital!" Ah Jun continued.

"Shao Jin?" Sire Shui wasn't familiar with the name since it had been several generations.

"Shao Weidong's son!" Ah Jun reminded.

"That famous developer?" Sire Shui had some recollection and coldly continued, "Getting him to Nanyue Province was to clear up the chaotic economy structure. But from his son, I can tell that he did not manage to change the situation with his ability and even fell into it."

The local businessmen in Nanyue Province were too united, which received a wide range of attention. The Vice Premier, Mr. Xiao that had a good relationship with Su Tao managed to get the economy on the right track with his investment, but after he left, the situation became bad once more. All the factions who went into hiding emerged. The ambitious Shao Weidong, who went to Nanyue Province, could be considered as the successor of the Vice Premier, Mr. Xiao. But now, not only did he achieve nothing, he even showed signs of being corrupted.

"Shao Jing is known as the Second Heavenly King in Nanyue Province. Anyone that wishes to get rich only has to build a good connection with him." Ah Jun sighed.

After a brief moment, Sire Shui bounced up from his seat. Although he had been reading the Golden Vajra Sutra, he failed to contain his temper at this moment and solemnly said, "Make a call to that number!"

Food was the necessity of everyone, and even the richest tycoon had to eat.

The Vice Premier ate the wontons and felt comfortable in his stomach. Seeing that Mr. Xue came in, he praised, "The wontons are delicious."

Nodding his head, Mr. Xue smiled. "Do you need another bowl of it?"

Waving his hand, the Vice Premier declined, "I'm full."

When he looked at his subordinate's face, he could notice that something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chen Guang sent a letter, which was entrusted to Xu Yonggang to be handed to you!" Mr. Xue sighed.

The Vice Premier frowned his brows. Mr. Xue was someone that he trusted, and normally speaking, the latter shouldn't have done something like this that crossed his boundaries. Letting out a sigh, he said, "Where's the letter? Let me take a look at it!"

Mr. Xue handed his phone over and explained, "It was just sent over, and I haven't taken a look at it yet."

Since it was an email that Xu Yonggang wanted to send to the Vice Premier, Mr. Xue hesitated for a long time and in the end, he did not look at it. Regardless of what Chen Guang wrote, he's just a middleman.

Mr. Xue examined his superior's countenance, to which he noticed that his superior's countenance was turning darker as if he wanted to gobble someone up. It's rare for him to see his superior with such an expression, which left Mr. Xue uneasy. He wondered what Chen Guang wrote, and at the same time, he regretted promising Xu Yonggang.

For a secretary, not doing anything meant no mistake, and doing lesser meant a lesser mistake. This was a logic that worked everywhere.

"Are you alright?" Mr. Xue asked in concern.

The Vice Premier contained his anger well as he swept a glance at Mr. Xue and replied, "Take a look at it yourself!"

As Mr. Xue bowed and received the phone, he swiftly read through it and exclaimed out in shock, "What's going on? Mr. Su is being imprisoned in private?!"

Letting out a sigh, the Vice Premier heavily knocked his finger on the table and said, "I never expected that Nanyue Province would be in such a situation. What a disappointment."

Mr. Xue knew the disappointment that his superior was feeling right now. His superior started out from Nanyue Province, and he was filled with feelings for it. Even if he no longer bothered with Nanyue Province, he would occasionally pay attention to it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have read Nanyue's City News every day, especially the articles that were written by Chen Guang.

"Why don't I make a call right now and get someone to fetch Mr. Su out?" Mr. Xue probed.

Shaking his head, Mr. Xiao sighed, "It's no longer that simple now. The situation isn't good in Nanyue Province, and it's time for a change."

Seeing that his superior was pondering, Mr. Xue kept his mouth shut. Instantly, the entire office went into silence. At this moment, the red phone on his superior's desk rang out. In the entirety of China, not many people were worthy of calling this phone.

"It's me!" Sire Shui's voice resounded and he continued, "I'm not disturbing you for calling you so late, right?"

Vice Premier Xiao was instantly stunned. Sire Shui was his benefactor, and if it wasn't for Sire Shui supporting him back then and helping him, he wouldn't be able to come this far. Hence, he's extremely grateful to Sire Shui.

"Is there anything for you to call me so late at night?" Vice Premier Xiao asked in a humble tone.

"I have something that I would like to ask for your help with!" Sire Shui's voice sounded with might as he continued, "A young friend of mine got into trouble in Nanyue Province and is currently arrested. Can you help me to get him out? Furthermore, investigate and pay attention to what's going on!"

"You're being too polite. To be able to help you is my honor! Who is he? Can I have his name? I will immediately make arrangements." Vice Premier Xiao was shocked. Someone who could be called a 'young friend' by Sire Shui was definitely someone extraordinary.

"His name is Su Tao, and he is a talented young physician. Speaking of which, even my life was saved by him." Sire Shui sighed.

It's actually Su Tao!

Vice Premier Xiao inwardly sighed. Back in Russia, Su Tao was also the one that saved him. He had a good impression of Su Tao, and in addition to the fact that Sire Shui called him a 'young friend,' his impression of Su Tao instantly rose. He immediately replied, "I also just received the news and I am preparing to deal with this matter. Please be reassured, I will immediately get him out. At the same time, I will get someone to investigate the matter and give him an explanation."

Not only was he giving an explanation to Su Tao, but he's also giving an explanation to the one that wrote the email to him, the Conscience of China's Media, Chen Guang!
