Physician's Odyssey Chapter 833 - Investigating Wang Guofeng’s Death

Chapter 833 - Investigating w.a.n.g Guofeng’s Death

As Su Tao and Yue Zun chatted, Sun Changle suddenly stormed in in fury. Yue Zun knew that Sun Changle did not have a pleasant chat with Yu Youqing and smiled, “What’s the matter?”

Slamming his palm on the desk, Sun Changle roared, “What’s the matter? He’s actually taking some doubtful reports and slammed it in my face, telling me good luck!”

Yue Zun and Su Tao exchanged a glance. Yue Zun had a report on Shao Wentao, but they never expected that Yu Youqing would use the same move to suppress Sun Changle However, it was also a common tactic when it came to internal strive. Judging from Sun Changle’s reaction, Yu Youqing’s tactic must have worked well. After all, Sun Changle would be so furious if it wasn’t true.

Letting out a sigh, Sun Changle explained helplessly, “I was dragged down by my brother-in-law. A few years ago, he sold medical equipment to several hospitals using my name, and the quality of those equipment was terrible. In the end, I had to cover up this matter with my connection, but I never expected that Yu Youqing would bring out such old news.”

“Since it has already pa.s.sed, then his motive is clear for bringing it up now. He wants you to take a step back for Shao Wentao.” Yue Zun comforted.

“It’s still all my fault for not having any confidence.” Sun Changle had already decided to back down from the candidacy. “Old Yue, the National Healer Team will be depending on you. Otherwise, we will all have a difficult life waiting for us.”

“There are so many candidates, and I’m just an extra.” Yue Zun smiled humbly.

Shaking his head, Sun Changle knitted his brows, “Just a moment ago, Old Wen and Old Zheng were both called up.”

Yue Zun was stunned upon hearing those words before he smiled bitterly, “Did they have anything in Old Yu’s too?”

“Who doesn’t have some humiliating history? But Shao Wentao was the worst!” Sun Changle smiled bitterly.

Yue Zun sighed inwardly as a genuine n.o.ble person with unquestionable integrity wouldn’t get involved with this voting. Sun Changle was an upright person, but he was just conned by his brother-in-law.

“I never expected that things would turn out this way.” Yue Zun knitted his brows as he muttered to himself.

Patting on Yue Zun’s shoulders, Sun Changle replied, “You’re upright and firm, so I don’t think that Yu Youqing has anything on you. So I will support you as the new leader.”

“You’re putting me on the fire pit.” Yue Zun smiled bitterly as he shook his head.

“You have to fight, even if it’s for me!” Sun Changle replied seriously.

Sun Changle had a decent connection in the National Healer Team, and with his support, the odds of Yue Zun becoming the leader would be higher.

However, Su Tao was still concerned as he knew that Yu Youqing must have other moves set aside for Shao Wentao and Yue Zun.

But Yue Zun wasn’t a pushover, and he definitely had his own plans.

When it was time for lunch, Sun Changle was a foodie, and he got his a.s.sistant to drive as the three of them headed to a restaurant together.

Although Beijing was always foggy, it was rare that the sunlight today was bright, basking the buildings in warmth. The three of them arrived at a unique pavilion, with carp in the pool, maple trees that decorated the surrounding, and floral fragrance covering the air.

Taking a few steps forth, they could hear Buddhism music and sounds of mokugyo, with “Full Moon Vegan” written on the signboard.

“So this is the famous vegan restaurant?” Yue Zun smiled.

Nodding his head, Sun Changle replied, “Fish and meat are oily, and it’s good eating vegan food occasionally. Don’t look down on this restaurant. Although they only serve vegan food, their menu is extremely expensive. The food is all made similarly to the imperial court in the past, and you have to admit that they taste really good. For people like us who are getting our our age, it’s beneficial for us to eat vegan once a month with our high sugar and high cholesterol.”

Shortly after, he teased Su Tao, “But for youngsters like you, you might not be able to get used to it, but just treat it as you’re accompanying us today.”

But as Su Tao had always been eating lightly, he smiled, “Logically speaking, it’s unsuitable for us to be eating vegan food now.”

“Oh? Why is that?” Sun Changle asked curiously.

“When it comes to vegan food, there’s a rule that you’re not allowed to consume in the afternoon, and it’s already 11.30 p.m. now.” Su Tao smiled.

“I never expect you to have knowledge about these matters.” Sun Changle recalled that Su Tao was a physician, and his research when it came to food was naturally higher than western medicine.

There was a difference between vegan and vegetarian. Someone who ate vegetarian would avoid fish and meat, while a vegan would avoid fish and meat along with scallion, onion, garlic, and leek. Furthermore, a vegan shouldn’t eat in the afternoon.

However, the three of them were only here to taste the food, so they weren’t too strict with their viet.

Vegan food was mostly vegetables, beancurd, and mushrooms. Just that some secret recipes might be involved during cooking so that the food would taste much better than ordinary vegan food.

In the process, Su Tao received a call from Liu Ruochen. Although it had been some time since they last met, the two of them had been maintaining their contact.

“I’m calling to apply leave for Sui’er.” Liu Ruochen sighed.

Su Tao naturally understood the reason as he smiled bitterly, “It looks like Sui’er has still not given up on w.a.n.g Guofeng. What about you? Are you doing alright?”

Liu Ruochen was once w.a.n.g Guofeng’s fiancee. Although the two of them had already cancelled their engagement, they still shared a relations.h.i.+p at a point of time. Not that w.a.n.g Guofeng had pa.s.sed away, even Mo Sui’er was so affected, so what about Liu Ruochen?

“I only found it rather regretful. After all, he was once so outstanding.” Liu Ruochen paused briefly before he continued, “The Medical Dao Sect also feels that you’re the reason why w.a.n.g Guofeng killed himself, so Ling Yu’s side might not be doing well. After all, w.a.n.g Guofeng was once the successor of the Medical Dao Sect, and Ling Yu was his junior brother. Now that w.a.n.g Guofeng died, he will definitely have to suffer controversy by staying in the Three Flavour Hall.”

“I will take the time to pacify Ling Yu, and I will respect his choice.” Su Tao nodded his head.

After hanging up the call with Liu Ruochen, Su Tao finally knew how serious this matter was. Evidently, the w.a.n.g Family had found the Medical Dao Sect to pressure Ling Yu.

The Three Flavour Hall had just gained a footing in Beijing, and it was all thanks to Ling Yu. If Ling Yu left, it would be equivalent to breaking one of Su Tao’s arms.

Thus, Su Tao had to deal with the w.a.n.g Family as soon as possible.

After hanging his call with Liu Ruochen, Su Tao pondered for a long time before he gave Jiang Qinghan a call.

Jiang Qinghan knew that Su Tao wouldn’t call her if there was nothing important as she asked, “What’s the matter?”

As Su Tao told Jiang Qinghan about w.a.n.g Guofeng’s matters, he asked, “Master, you’ve been in the criminal investigation team for so long, do you have any friends that can investigate this case?”

“It’s related to the underground research facilities again?” Jiang Qinghan knitted her brows and sighed. Back then, it was the Cambell Pharmaceutical Company. It was mainly because Jiang Qinghan felt that her husband’s death was connected to it. Now that she knew that Yan Sun was living well, her focus of attention was s.h.i.+fted.

“After the death of Hans, the Cambell Pharmaceutical Company no longer continued with their underground research facility to avoid any unwanted attention. But since the Neuer Pharmaceutical Conglomerate controls the Medicine Deity Corporation, they used it to continue with their underground research facilities.”

“I’ll handle this matter.” Jiang Qinghan replied coldly.

Su Tao initially wanted Jiang Qinghan’s opinion from a professional point of view as there was a possibility that w.a.n.g Guofeng was murdered. However, he did not expect that Jiang Qinghan would want to get involved.

“It took place in He City, and you will have to cross to another city for your investigation. Will that be alright?” Su Tao knitted his brows.

“You don’t have to worry about that. In the criminal investigation department, we can make our investigations in another city. Furthermore, this matter concerns the underground research facility. The underground research facility was once investigated in Hanzhou City, and since it was related, Hanzhou City’s police department was naturally qualified to make their investigations.” Jiang Qinghan smiled.

“You’re worried that He City’s criminal investigation department was not serious about their investigation?” Su Tao immediately guessed Jiang Qinghan’s thoughts.

“That’s right. If they were serious about it, they definitely wouldn’t pa.s.s it off as suicide. For this case, I believed that the local police had already shelved it away.” Jiang Qinghan replied. “I will get Zhang Zhen to form a capable group to investigate this matter.”

“This is a dangerous case.” Su Tao warned with a sigh.

“Why would the criminal investigation department be needed if it wasn’t dangerous?” Jiang Qinghan smiled. “I’ll update you if there’s any news.”

When Jiang Qinghan hung up the call, Su Tao immediately regretted it. He felt that he shouldn’t have told Jiang Qinghan about this matter as Rangure’s figure came into his mind. If he had guessed it correctly, w.a.n.g Guofeng’s death might be related to this secret agent from Germany.

Returning to the room, Su Tao could hear a burst of laughter that sounded pretty lively. When Sun Changle saw Su Tao coming back, he smiled, “Little Su, come and take a look at my friend. His tooth is aching for some reason. Oh, don’t look down on this young man because of his age. He’s the youngest physician in our National Healer Team.”

As a physician, Su Tao naturally had his own diagnostics method, so he could tell the cause of the toothache with a glance.

“Sorry for my lack of manners.” Sun Changle’s friend immediately gave a humble smile.

As Su Tao smiled, he knew that Sun Changle met a friend. Even after a few drinks, Sun Changle still wanted his friend to drink. Despite the fact that they weren’t drinking alcohol but tea, his friend came up with an excuse for a toothache when he felt bloated.

Although it was just a joke, Su Tao still examined Sun Changle’s friend carefully and sighed inwardly. He was 5’5”, and he looked to be in his fifties. His five features were delicate, and now that he was getting old, he could be considered an old lady-killer.

“There’s nothing wrong with his tooth, but he can’t drink anymore.” Su Tao smiled.

Sun Changle was stunned as he never expected that Su Tao would speak for his friend. But very quickly, he smiled, “Fine. You’re not even willing to drink tea with me, and it looks like our friends.h.i.+p isn’t deep enough. I’ll let you off now.”

“If we’re drinking alcohol next time, I’ll definitely accompany you to the end.” That friend smiled.

After that friend left, Sun Changle noticed that there was something unusual about Su Tao’s expression as he asked, “Does my friend have any issue?”

Nodding his head, Su Tao smiled, “If Senior Sun gets that friend of yours to drink a little more, I’m afraid that something serious will happen.”

Just when Sun Changle had disbelief on his face, a commotion suddenly rang out from outside.
