Physician's Odyssey Chapter 819 - Different Reactions All-Around

Chapter 819 - Different Reactions All-Around

In the end, Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei had completed their mission under Su Tao’s a.s.sistance. When the news got back to China, it had instantly caused a commotion.

It was especially so for those special organizations as they had to reevaluate Su Tao once more.

Not only was he a physician, but he also had the potential of executing the task of a secret agent.

Hanzhou City, the Yan Residence.

As the summer morning s.h.i.+ne lit up the garden, Yan Wujin received the news while seated in his rocking chair inside the house and spoke out, “Ying Xiong has been killed. Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei had completed their mission, and Su Tao was the key to that.”

There was a detailed report on the entire situation of how Su Tao rescued Yuan Lan.

Yan Wujin felt gratified at this news as he had guessed that there was a high chance that Su Tao might run into Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei in his trip to Slovakia. However, he had never expected that Su Tao would play such an important role in the entire process.

Through this event, wouldn’t everyone in the Fire Beacon had a better understanding of Su Tao?

“What do you think of him? Do you think that he’s suitable to be your leader?” Yan Wujin asked a middle-aged man who was standing before him.

“I feel that he’s a little too young. There are so many people in the Fire Beacon, and it won’t be easy for them to accept someone so young.” The middle-aged man replied.

“Then again, he had changed my evaluation on him through this incident.” The middle-aged man then added after a brief pause.

“Youth represents potential. You were once young, and I know that you’re unhappy that he became the Fire Deity instead. In terms of contributions, you have contributed the most to the organization. But you lacked a necessary requirement of a leader.” Yan Wujin did not beat around the bush with the middle-aged man. He was straightforward as he knew that the middle-aged man could take honest remarks.

“What requirement?” The middle-aged man wasn’t furious. In his heart, Yan Wujin wasn’t just purely his leader, but also his mentor.

If it wasn’t for Yan Wujin, he wouldn’t be living in the world right now.

“Courage!” Yan Wujin replied.

“I have never been a deserter!” The man was surprised. He might agree with Yan Wujin if the latter had said something else. But how could he accept being called a coward?

“I don’t mean courage on the battlefield, but also in daily lives. Su Tao has the courage to change and break the norms, but you don’t.” Yan Wujin explained and continued, “Let’s make an example. Are you confident in changing the current structure of the Fire Beacon?”

The middle-aged man was suddenly placed in a difficult position by Yan Wujin’s question. In his view, the current Fire Beacon was perfect, and only some adjustments were needed.

“I’m not satisfied with the current Fire Beacon, and I hope that someone can step in to change it.” Yan Wujin sighed as he added, “You’re capable, but you don’t have the courage to develop.”

“I understand.” The middle-aged man left in disappointment.

Looking at the middle-aged man’s sank shoulders as he left, Yan Wujin sighed inwardly as he knew that it wouldn’t be easy for Su Tao to take over the Fire Beacon.

However, his trip to Slovakia this time had pulled a great opening. As a smile rose on Yan Wujin’s lips, he was satisfied as there was finally an answer to the previous mistake.

After all, they wanted to release Ying Xiong in exchange for Hei Jin, so they had a burden on their shoulders.

In the 33 Bureau.

Hei Jin was lying on the sickbed weakly. Although he managed to return to China, he still had not recovered from his injuries.

When he heard the news from Tang s.h.i.+, his eyes lit up, “What a pity that I wasn’t in such an earth-shaking battle.”

Even from those descriptions alone, Hei Jin could sense the struggle between life and death.

Yuan Lan, Liu Jianwei, and Su Tao had done this for him, and as a man, he had already considered Liu Jianwei and Su Tao as his brothers in his heart.

As for Yuan Lan, he had owed her so much that he could not repay her.

“You will get your chance when you recover!” Tang s.h.i.+ smiled.

“I have to thank Su Tao. After all, I owed him a life.” Hei Jin smiled bitterly.

If it wasn’t Su Tao that requested for the exchange, he would still be in the hands of those mercenaries. And now that he was back with Ying Xiong a.s.sa.s.sinated, Hei Jin finally no longer felt so guilty.

“Big Brother Su won’t be interested in your life.” Tang s.h.i.+ wore an infatuated expression as she asked, “How can someone so handsome exist in the world?”

But as Hei Jin opened his mouth, he was speechless.

In Vice Premier Xiao’s office, Secretary Xue spoke out as he placed a doc.u.ment beside Premier Xiao, “There’s news from Slovakia!”

Judging from Secretary Xue’s expression, Vice Premier Xiao could tell that it was a piece of good news as he took a look at the report and sighed, “The Fire Beacon had it tough.”

He knew how much danger the Fire Beacon had to go through in order to complete this mission.

“Su Tao played an important role in this matter.” Secretary Xue smiled as he continued, “If it wasn’t for him, Yuan Lan and Liu Jianwei would’ve failed their mission.

“As if everything is within his control. It has been a long time since I had seen someone so outstanding. Oh, set up an appointment for us to meet when he returns back.” Vice Premier Xiao smiled.

“You want him in the government system?” Secretary Xue probed.

Nodding his head, Vice Premier Xiao replied, “Such a talent like him has to be used for the country. It would be a pity if he was not in the government system.”

Vice Premier Xiao had seen it thoroughly. If Su Tao wanted to revive TCM, he would have to enter the government system. In China, it was tough to achieve anything without authority.

“He’s already the successor of the Fire Deity.” Secretary Xue reminded.

“Was there a rule that the successor of the Fire Deity could not join the government system?” Vice Premier Xiao asked with a smile.

“I’ll make preparations immediately!” Secretary Xue smiled.

Vice Premier Xiao sighed after Secretary Xue left his office. Even if he hoped that Su Tao could join the government and give up on medicine, he knew that it wasn’t viable.

He could see that Su Tao was a stubborn fellow, and chances of him giving up his career for the government wasn’t high.

Qin Jingyu wore a grave expression as he sat in the teahouse, with the two crosstalk actors that Tong Zuoqing had hired on the stage. Their appearance fees along were at least ¥100,000, and not everyone could hire them. Tong Zuoqing only managed to do it by relying on his reputation to create some popularity for his teahouse today.

“What’s the matter? Young Master Qin, you’re unhappy today?” Tong Zuoqing sighed. Everyone had their emotions brought out by the crosstalk, with Qin Jingyu being an exception as he wore a grim expression.

“Ying Xiong died.” Qin Jingyu had also just received the news of it.

“Isn’t that a piece of good news?” Tong Zuoqing smiled as he added, “After all, he was also your enemy.”

“The mission was done by the Fire Beacon.” Qin Jingyu replied unhappily.

Tong Zuoqing naturally knew that there were sparks between the Dragon Group and the Fire Beacon as he smiled, “You feel that you’re humiliated?”

“He broke a fortune path of mine in Slovakia.” Qin Jingyu shook his head.

Tong Zuoqing was briefly stunned when he heard those words. He also knew that Qin Jingyu has been relying on firearms for his business, and he relies on firearm businessmen.

Like Rangure, Stein was also one of his fortune path in helping him to sell firearms.

Although Stein’s order wasn’t great, Qin Jingyu knew that the former would soon be taking over his father and gain full control of the business. At that time, Stein would bring him more profits.

However, he had just received news from Slovakia that Stein’s mercenary group had suffered a heavy blow. He had a great loss to his numbers, and he could no longer push for a higher demand of firearms.

Putting it in a nutsh.e.l.l, the Fire Beacon had ruined his fortune path, not to mention that he had Su Tao was also involved in the mission and played an important role according to his news.

As the saying those, those who break one’s fortune path was akin to the killer of one’s parents.

So how could Qin Jingyu take this lying down? Hence, he had decided to suppress Su Tao.

Firstly, he would start with Su Tao’s women.

After Yuan Lan, Liu Jianwei, and Su Tao returned to the Lin Manor, they rested for a few days before they headed for the capital’s international airport to return to Hanzhou City.

Liu Jianwei and Yuan Lan had to report their mission in Qiongjin City, while Su Tao had to return to the Three Flavour Hall to heal his injuries.

Xia Yu has been calling him for the past few days to report the status of the Three Flavour Medicine. Due to the funds in place, the progress was swift as it could all be ready in half a year.

“Oh, there’s something that I would like to remind you.” Xia Yu frowned as he continued, “I have already gotten someone to investigate Hua Ling just as you had requested. This fellow has been pestering Hua Yan daily, and I’m sure that his motives weren’t pure.”

“Hua Yan was Hua Ling’s niece, and there shouldn’t be a problem. But this fellow’s heart wasn’t pure, so we had to be careful.” Su Tao sighed inwardly. He was concerned about Yan Jing and Hua Yan as his sixth premonition told him that Hua Ling was a calamity.

However, he had no authority from forbidding Hua Ling to interact with Hua Yan.

“Hua Long took ¥1,000,000 from Ms. Yan, and he had spent all of them generously over the past few days. I guess that he will still continue to pester them.” Xia Yu grumbled as he hated someone like Hua Ling the most.

“Give her a reminder then if there’s an opportunity.” Su Tao sighed before he asked, “How’s the Medicine Deity Corporation doing?”

“w.a.n.g Guofeng wasn’t bad. Luo Ran, who had been promoted to the CEO for only a few days was sent to the prison by him for embezzlement of ¥30,000,000.” Xia Yu smiled as he continued, “Luo Ran was Rangure’s spy, and w.a.n.g Guofeng had started to show signs of breaking off Rangure’s control.”

“Rangure isn’t a simple woman, and it won’t be easy for w.a.n.g Guofeng to break free from her control. w.a.n.g Guofeng knew many dark secrets about Rangure, and it’s impossible for him to break free from her in his lifetime. Pay attention to the medicine factory that the Medicine Deity Corporation is focusing on. For some reason, I could feel that something was wrong.” Su Tao smiled bitterly as he wasn’t optimistic about that.
