Physician’s Odyssey

Chapter 703 - Farewell Party



Chapter 703 - Farewell Party

Amaki Hamasaki personally drove his master back, and at the same time, he had also received the notice from the royal clan that his opportunity to enter the Imperial Physician Institute had gone down the drain.

The moment when Crown Prince Tomohito showed up, Amaki Hamasaki had already guessed that he will lose many things if he loses the competition.

Seeing that Amaki Hamasaki was staring blanking at his phone, he sighed, “Amaki, do you still remember the reminder that I gave you on the day you took me as your master?”

Amaki Hamasaki recovered from his state and answered, “Master, I will never forget your teachings. You told me to always be cautious, not to undervalue myself, and not to be arrogant.”

“I finally understood the meaning of your words today.” Amaki Hamasaki sighed.

Nodding his head, Mamoru Onizuka replied, “It’s not frightening to lose, but you must know how to get back up on your feet. At the same time, you need to be humble and have patience. Only then, will you become a true man.”

“Yes! I will definitely do my best!” Amaki Hamasaki gave a kowtow to Mamoru Onizuka.

“Stay here for a period of time, it will be beneficial to you.” Mamori Onizuka stood up as he spoke to Amaki Hamasaki.

It’s impossible for him to disobey his master’s instructions. Even if he had a brilliant life outside, he still heeded my master’s instructions.

At this moment, Amaki Hamasaki received a call from Wang Guofeng.

Picking up the phone in annoyance, Wang Guofeng’s unhappy tone sounded out, “Hamasaki, why did you lose?”

“Didn’t you lose to him as well?” Amaki Hamasaki rebuked without any hesitation.

“Hamasaki… I’m here to comfort you. A loss means nothing.” Wang Guofeng immediately changed his tone as he tried to get on Amaki Hamasaki’s good side.

“I will be going into seclusion for a period of time. As for your order with Iwata Chinese Medicine Research Facility, let someone else handle it.” At this moment, Amaki Hamasaki was still feeling dejected about his loss. He did not want to take any calls, especially from Wang Guofeng.

“How can you possibly do this?” Wang Guofeng grumbled as he continued, “I only know you and no one else! Hello? Hello?”

Wang Guofeng had the call hung up on him as he flared into anger and started cursing Amaki Hamasaki for being so heartless.

At the same time, Wang Guofeng never expected that his plot to deal with Su Tao was so easily resolved by the latter. Furthermore, he even failed to get discounts from the Iwata Chinese Medicine Research Facility, which nearly drove him insane.

Furthermore, he was now placed in an awkward situation as he could no longer face Rangure.

After hesitating for a long time, Wang Guofeng ultimately gave a call to Rangure and spoke in dejection, “The plan in Japan has failed. I never expected that even Amaki Hamasaki couldn’t pose any threat to Su Tao and lost completely. This fellow had decided to go into seclusion from his dejection.”

“It was within my expectation. I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve lost to Su Tao.” Rangure replied with a cold voice.

“Many things are beyond my control!” Wang Guofeng spoke nervously.

“There’s a limit to the chances given to someone. If I lose my hope in you one day, your outcome will be much more miserable compared to Hans.” Rangure’s grim voice sounded as if it came from hell.

“I will definitely not disappoint you again!” Wang Guofeng emphasised.

When the call was hung up on him, Wang Guofeng knew that he had already lost his worth. He sighed inwardly as he pondered on ways to get out of this predicament. He had already done so many things that went against his conscience and morals for Rangure, and it’s impossible for him to clean himself anymore. His only option was to close his eyes to continue on this path.

After Rangure made a rough preparation, she gave a call to Qin Jingyu. Before she could even speak, Qin Jingyu’s mockery sounded out, “Is there a need to keep that Wang Guofeng? He’s total trash.”

“I believe it’s not of your concern, is it?” Rangure replied faintly.

“To have such an incapable person to work under you, I’m starting to reconsider if you guys still have any worth to me!” Qin Jingyu’s rebuked.

Listening to those words, Rangure was stunned. Qin Jingyu’s words might sound nasty, but there were some logic behind it. Wearing a smile on her lips, she suppressed all the negative emotions in her heart and replied, “He might be useless, but he still has some worth in disgusting your opponent!”

“My opponent? He’s not qualified!” Qin Jingyu roared.

“He will grow up soon enough.” Rangure sighed as she continued, “I have been observing the situation in Huainan Province for you. Su Tao’s relation with the Fire Beacon is getting closer, and the day will come for him to take on the mantle as the new Fire Deity. Since you will become the new Dragon Emperor, the two of you are bound to be enemies. Wang Guofeng might not be strong, but he can become your bargaining chip!”

Qin Jingyu sighed as Rangure was too smart and understood him well. Even he would feel the urge to get rid of her. If a woman like her becomes her enemy one day, it will definitely be trouble.

After ending his call with Rangure, Qin Jingyu gave a call to Tong Zuoqing, “Su Tao had defeated Amaki Hamasaki in Japan, so let’s use Plan B!”

“Plan B will have an ordinary effect. After all, he had won the competition. So it’s too implausible to frame him for colluding with the Seto Clan and became a traitor.” Tong Zuoqing smiled bitterly.

“Even if it’s useless, we can still use it to create some negative news. I don’t wish that he could have it easy!” Qin Jingyu spoke coldly as flames practically shot from his eyes.

Returning to the hotel, rainbow strings flew into the sky the moment he entered the room, covering his entire body. When he suddenly sensed a ‘killing intent’ coming from his right, he immediately squatted down. In the end, a cake flew past his head and smashed on Kim Jung-ho’s face, who was following behind Su Tao.

“Oppa, I’m sorry!” When Kim Jung-yeon realised that the cake she meant to use on Su Tao had landed on her brother instead, she immediately covered her mouth and apologised before she started chuckling out.

Dodging to the side, Su Tao looked at Kim Jung-ho in sympathy and smiled, “Sorry to make you take the bullet for me.”

Kim Jung-ho wiped his face helplessly as he scooped up a piece of cream and placed it in his mouth before he smiled humorously, “It tastes pretty good. How do you guys know that I like to eat cream cake?”

The awkward atmosphere was instantly replaced with excitement as Su Tao swept his glance around the room. He saw Ni Jingqiu, Gu Li, Xiao Yao, Gu Yin, and even Mu Jingchen. They were all here to celebrate his victory.

“We couldn’t cheer for you in the venue since we do not have any invitation, but we immediately prepared a celebration party the moment we received the news that you’ve won. At the same time, we know that you will be leaving Kyoto tomorrow, so this can be considered a farewell party.” Gu Yin smiled.

Although they did not interact for a long time, Gu Yin still left a deep impression in Su Tao. This is a person who likes to make friends, much like the character, Song Jiang, from one of the four classics of Chinese literature, Water Margin.

Su Tao went over and gave Gu Yin and Mu Jingchen a hug. But it wasn’t appropriate for him to hug the rest as they were females, so he could only wear a smile and expressed his gratitude.

“Actually, it wasn’t Mr. Gu who gathered us over, but Mr. Mu. He has a piece of good news that he would like to announce.” Ni Jingqiu suddenly winked at Su Tao.

Su Tao was briefly stunned before he immediately figured it out. However, it did not expose it as he allowed Mu Jingchen to deliver the news. Feigning to be at a loss, he asked, “Oh? Mr. Mu, tell us immediately so that we can share the happiness with you!”

Despite being a mature and steady gentleman, Mu Jingchen still couldn’t hide the excitement on his face as he pushed his spectacles and spoke with his voice trembling, “I just received the news this morning that my wife seems to be pregnant!”

“Has it been verified by the hospital?” Su Tao immediately asked.

“It has, but it’s still too early and it hasn’t stabilised. I shouldn’t be announcing it so early, and I only did because you’re leaving tomorrow. I would also like you to take a look at my wife. The doctors in the hospital all consider my wife advanced pregnancy.” Mu Jingchen spoke in a worried tone.

Su Tao could see the true emotions in Mu Jingchen. After all, he couldn’t reproduce previously due to his kidney, so he naturally rejoiced when he knew about it. As Su Tao swept his glance at an unfamiliar woman sitting by the corner with a smile on her face, he nodded his head and asked, “This must be your wife, right? If you don’t mind, may I take her pulse?”

“Please.” Mu Jingchen smiled as he sighed at Su Tao’s keen sight.

Su Tao smiled in response. He managed to deduce that this woman is Mu Jingchen’s wife because she’s the only unfamiliar face around. Furthermore, she even showed signs of pregnancy judging from her complexion and walking posture.

Generally speaking, women in early-stage pregnancy would have rosy lips, somewhat haggard complexion, eye bags, and even addicted to sleeping. Furthermore, there’s a slight change to her center of gravity when she walks. She must be someone who often wears heels, so she naturally couldn’t get used to suddenly wearing sandals.

After taking her pulse, Su Tao smiled, “It’s indeed a joyful pulse. I’ll give you a prescription, and there won’t be any problem. The two of you only have to wait for nine months to enjoy the fruit of your life.”

There’s some danger in advanced pregnancy, but it was common back in ancient times. Those women could successfully deliver their babies back then, and with the current development of science, the danger is still within control.

Searching through the Imperial Physician Scripture in his mind for a prescription, Su Tao wrote it down for Mu Jingchen. Mu Jingchen instantly treated it as a treasure and thanked him, “You will definitely be the first to know about the birth of my child. After all, his life was given by you.”

However, Su Tao waved his hand immediately and smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Mu, that can’t do. Others might misunderstand your words!”

Mu Jingchen was in a good mood, so he missed the possible meaning behind his words.

His wife blushed as she gave him a pinch on his arm and snapped, “Look at yourself spouting nonsense!”
