Chapter 1117: Chapter 1144: Resurrection from the Brink 3
The Second Elder trembled, "The Third Elder is locked in the security room."
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail now." Nianyang demanded.
"Here’s the situation: seven days ago, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family received a request for medical help. The call came from the Ouyang Family, an esteemed scholarly family in Pingjing, with a strong background, seemingly having some familial relations with the Leader and quite well-known. The mother of the Ouyang family matriarch was unwell, not knowing the exact illness.
It’s been a long time since the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family has been quiet, and it was rare for someone to seek our assistance, which made us all happy. Among the elders, the Third Elder is the most experienced in treating elderly patients, so we sent him for the visit. Who would have thought that after just one treatment, the elderly lady suddenly stopped breathing yesterday.
As a result, the Ouyang Family filed a report today, and people came over to detain the Third Elder for questioning. The Ouyang Family just mentioned that they want to shut down our Traditional Chinese Medicine Family and publicize our misdeeds in the media, effectively blocking our future path!"
"You’re saying the Third Elder killed someone with his treatment?" Nianyang’s clear brow clouded over with an ominous shadow.
Although she had never witnessed the medical skills of the various elders in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, they were chosen by her revered Master and were all celebrated experts in traditional Chinese medicine.
Nianyang was also aware of the Third Elder, being a patient elder with medical ethics and a cautious Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Such responsible doctors are very careful, would not recklessly use medicine, and would ensure the patient’s vitality is safe before administering treatment. Otherwise, how could they let the patient consume it?
Furthermore, traditional Chinese medicine has always been gentle; unless the medicines are mixed improperly or not administered accordingly, how could they possibly cause harm to life?
This is too unrealistic!
"Eldest Elder, could there be some misunderstanding involved?" Nianyang found it hard to believe such a thing could occur.
The Eldest Elder deeply sighed, his face clouded with gloom, "It’s not a misunderstanding. The Third Elder indeed caused the death, but I still believe there might be hidden circumstances unknown to us when those people came to apprehend the Third Elder.
The Third Elder also appeared incredulous, stating that his medicine couldn’t possibly kill someone, yet the other party presented a test report. It clearly stated that the elderly lady died from his medicine. Surely the Doctor wouldn’t deceive us."
Nianyang’s eyes were bright and she pondered slightly, "The Third Elder is a prudent person; he surely isn’t reckless. This matter still requires investigation, and we shouldn’t just accept the blame."
The Second Elder said, "All the evidence is there, how can we investigate further? The Ouyang Family is holding the memorial service this afternoon, and the elderly lady is already in the coffin. Regardless of any hidden circumstances, you can’t deny that she died from the Third Elder’s medicine; it’s already determined as a medical issue."
The Eldest Elder said, "The Third Elder doesn’t even know how this happened, to cause such a catastrophe out of nowhere. He will not only face lifelong imprisonment but our Traditional Chinese Medicine Family is now at an end. The Ouyang Family has already contacted reporters, and everything will be announced tomorrow. The Third Elder is an elder under my tutelage; him killing someone signifies our end. This Traditional Chinese Medicine Family ultimately cannot be preserved after all."
"Who says it can’t be preserved?" Nianyang murmured,
"The full extent of this matter hasn’t been clarified yet. Based on just one test, our Traditional Chinese Medicine Family does not accept this guilt. I want to personally see where the issue lies."
