"Sorry, Chief, I didn't mean to involve family," Lin Hai said.

The Chief was not angry. "This principle, Lin Dapao held it the same back in the day."

He could tell Lin Hai did not really hit in earnest, just a normal slap, so he was not upset.

"Chief, shall we proceed with the medical examination?"

Lin Hai asked, internally admiring the elder's magnanimity and open-mindedness; had it been someone else, seeing their own getting hit, they would not be pleased. Yet, he always maintained a polite smile, never seeming contrived.

"If possible, I would still like to trouble Lin to first help my Doctor Wang recover from his illness," the Chief said.

Not just Lin Hai, but everyone there was taken aback by the Chief's words.

Immediately afterward, there was a touch of emotion in the eyes of Doctor Wang, who had been slapped.

Lin Hai's respect grew even more. Perhaps this was just the Chief's genuine personality, not an attempt to charm others, but it achieved the effect of inspiring genuine respect and willingness to follow.

The personal bodyguard was deeply shocked in his heart.

He himself was a King of Soldiers.

Yet this man before him, with just two moves, or rather, what could hardly be counted as techniques, had easily defeated him.

How strong must his strength be?

Who on earth was he?

With such strength, even among those in Zhongnanhe, only the Supreme Experts could do it, but even they might not manage as effortlessly, at least they would have to exchange three or four moves.

"Doctor Wang, I apologize for earlier. No one can insult my family, although I've never seen them," said Lin Hai while reaching out his hand to Doctor Wang on the ground.

The Chief nodded again in appreciation. He liked to watch the details when assessing people.

Doctor Wang hesitated. The guy who had just looked fierce now treated him kindly?

Yet, Doctor Wang was no fool. To defeat the Chief's personal bodyguard, such strength was indeed unfathomable. He had seen with his own eyes that bodyguard punch through a wall.

"Ahem, no worries, I was the one who was careless with my words. I should be the one apologizing," Doctor Wang said.

Maybe it was because he had been by the Chief's side for so long that Doctor Wang too had developed a measure of patience.

If it had been before, with his high and mighty attitude, he definitely wouldn't have apologized after being struck.

"Don't call me Doctor Wang anymore, just Wang will do. I'm also very interested to witness your Medical Skill," Doctor Wang said with a pause, still he reached for Lin Hai's hand and got up.

"Uh, Old-Wang-Eight..."

Lin Hai secretly sneered to himself, the title was too ambiguous.

"Chief, your ailment should be located around the lower abdomen, am I right?"

"How did you know?" the Chief asked.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine values the four diagnoses of inspection, listening and smelling, inquiring, and pulse-taking. From the moment you walked in, I observed that there was a discord in your vital energy, causing deficiency. Your steps appeared sturdy but actually floated slightly, and such disruption in vital energy can only mean injury to the Lower Dantian."

Doctor Wang was stunned yet again. That was a conclusion many experts and Imperial Physicians in Zhongnanhe had taken nearly half a year to reach.

Yet, this young man before them had, through mere visual observation, determined the root of the ailment in such a short time.

He really was no ordinary figure.

The Chief also showed a hint of surprise, then nodded. "Indeed, my injury is in the lower abdomen. When I was skirmishing with bayonets against the enemies, I accidentally got stabbed a few times. Luckily, we won that battle."

After finishing, he seemed to reminisce, revealing a happy smile.

His casual words conveyed the perilous nature of fighting for the country in his youth.

For most people, being stabbed multiple times in the lower abdomen would hardly be mentioned so lightly.

"Since it was just an ordinary knife wound, those Imperial Physicians should have been able to cure it."

Chief Wang shook his head: "That was during the war; our military didn't have good medical conditions, and the treatment was delayed. Later, I caught a chill, and the illness became increasingly severe."

"Chief Wang, let me take your pulse first to see if there's any other problem."

"Alright."

Lin Hai went over to take Chief Wang's pulse, and this time, his personal bodyguard didn't dare to stop him; he knew that with Lin Hai's abilities, he couldn't be stopped.

Lin Hai breathed steadily, carefully discerning the pulse.

A few minutes later, he opened his eyes and slowly said: "Chief Wang, there must be something you're still hiding."

"Oh? Then tell me, what am I hiding?"

Chief Wang asked with a smile, but the surprise at the bottom of his eyes couldn't be completely concealed.

"Colorless, odorless, invisible, and traceless, you must have been poisoned with some kind of poison!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Brother Lin, while I admire your strength, this matter... I'm with Chief Wang every day, and I check everything. For you to say this..."

Lin Hai shook his head: "Doctor Wang, I'm not questioning you. From your attitude of remaining fearless in the face of danger and still caring for Chief Wang, I can tell you are sincere."

"However, this poison is quite peculiar, and most people would not be able to detect it, so it's not your fault."

Doctor Wang's face turned awkward, and he closed his mouth.

"Chief Wang, tell me about this poison; I think you should know."

"Back then, ah, that was before I joined Zhongnanhe. I led people to suppress bandits, and the bandit leader launched a sneak attack when he was dying. Little did I expect that his dagger was smeared with a colorless and odorless poison."

Chief Wang sighed.

Lin Hai furrowed his brows and asked again: "Which era did this happen?"

"Probably just after the country was founded."

After hearing Chief Wang's response, Lin Hai found it incredibly hard to accept.

Just after Huaxia was founded...

How could there be a poison with a similarity close to 80% to Heaven's RX at that time!

The poison in Chief Wang was simply a simplified version of Heaven's RX, mixed with some other minor poisons.

Could it be that the RX organization already existed at that time?

Or had someone already developed a similar poison to Heaven?

Whichever conjecture proved true, it was deeply shocking to Lin Hai.

He had originally thought that the RX organization was just a major organization that had sprung up over the past decade or so.

But now, according to what Chief Wang said, this kind of poison existed around the time Huaxia was founded...

Lin Hai suddenly felt that his understanding of the RX organization was still superficial.

He even felt a bit terrified; if this organization had been lying dormant in the world for over a hundred years, how far could its influence spread? How much potential power could it possess?

"Brother Lin, what's wrong? Is Chief Wang's illness curable?"

Du Shancheng saw Lin Hai sinking into thought and not speaking for a long time, and asked anxiously.

Lin Hai was pulled back from his thoughts and answered: "Yes, it's curable. Others might not be able to cure him, but I can."

With this statement, Du Shancheng breathed a sigh of relief. In his view, Lin Hai was not one to make empty boasts; if he said it was curable, then that settled it.

Doctor Wang and the personal bodyguard were shocked again.

Really curable? Seeing Lin Hai's confident expression, they were eager to see how exactly Lin Hai would treat Chief Wang's illness, and whether he could truly be successful?!
