Chapter 757: Never Take Promises Too Seriously

“Southern Yunnan?” Wang Yao murmured.

He documented the man’s case in detail. The worms inside his body were rare. They were different than the worms inside Wei Hai’s body. Wei Hai became infected because he used to eat a lot of raw seafood. The worms inside this man’s body might well and truly be poisonous.

“It looks like the so-called poisonous worms do exist over there,” Wang Yao said.

After leaving the clinic, the man went to Lianshan’s town center. He checked into a hotel and hesitantly poured out part of the decoction. He found a bottle to put part of the decoction in and drank the rest.

“I hope it works,” the man said.

He had come with hope. Soon, he started to feel stomach pain, which was quite bad.

“What’s going on? The pain is back!” The man groaned.

He rushed to the toilet but didn’t pass out anything. He only felt pain, bad pain. He thought about Wang Yao’s words. He had told him he might feel stomach pain after taking the decoction.

Is this it? It’s too painful!

He clenched his teeth. His body was shaking, and he was profusely sweating. After a while, the pain reached its peak. He curled up in the bed like a shrimp.

Should I go to the hospital? Why didn’t I grab the doctor’s contact number? No! I need to find the doctor!

He tried to put up with the pain and got out of bed. As soon as he was about to leave the room, he had the urge to go to the bathroom. He stopped and ran to the toilet.

As soon as he took off his pants, he started to have diarrhea. It was so bad that he couldn’t stop it. He almost soiled his pants. Suddenly, the whole bathroom was full of an unpleasant odor.

This is awful!

He tried to put up with the pain. At last, he was passing water.

“Dear me!” He felt weak when he walked out of the bathroom.

He had passed out a large number of dead worms. He checked the worms as he held his breath. The worms looked different from the ones he passed out before because they were all dead.

The miasma grass could get rid of any poisonous insects or worms. It wouldn’t leave any worms alive.

“I feel much better now,” the man murmured.

The pain in his stomach was significantly reduced since passing out all the worms. He smelled awful, but he didn’t care. He went to lie down on the bed. He needed a rest. The anxiety, fear, and long trip had exhausted him.

He soon fell asleep and didn’t wake up until later that night. He woke up because of the pain in his stomach. He rushed to the bathroom again. He had another episode of diarrhea. It was 10 p.m. when he came out of the bathroom.

He ate something, waited for a while, and had some more of the decoction. Afterward, he laid down again and slept until the next morning.

He was awoken by bright sunshine. He pushed himself up with his arms. He was still tired and felt heavy, which was common after bad diarrhea. He had also vomited.

Since he hadn’t eaten properly in the past few days and had been living in panic due to the poisonous worms, he felt exhausted. I should get something to eat.

He went into the bathroom to wash his face. He looked pale in the mirror. He told himself, “Hold on!”

Breakfast was provided by the hotel. He felt much better after eating something, so he ate more. He hadn’t had a proper meal for many days. He had vomited whatever he ate. He hadn’t had an appetite at all on his way to Lianshan.

He felt stronger after breakfast. He went back to his room and sat in front of the window. He looked through the window at the unfamiliar city in the north.

I’m not sure what’s happening at my house, the man thought.

Meanwhile, in the village, Zhong Liuchuan was talking to Jia Zizai.

“How are you doing?” Zhong Liuchuan asked with a smile.

Jia Zizai was tied up. “I don’t want to talk to you.”

“You sound well,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Why don’t you continue to pretend?”

He had a notebook in his hand. He had been documenting Jia Zizai’s progress for the past 20 hours, from initial weakness to gradual recovery, in detail.

“What’s the name of the decoction your Dr. Wang made?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Muscle Softening Powder,” Zhong Liuchuan replied.

“Hmm, nice name,” Jia Zizai said. “Can you pass me a cigarette?”

Zhong Liuchuan gave him a lit cigarette.

“Thank you,” Jia Zizai said.

“You are welcome,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Can we have a chat?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Spit it out, but don’t ask me to let you go,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“I’m not asking you to release me,” Jia Zizai said. “Can you talk to Dr. Wang and tell him I also want him to teach me kung fu?”

“What?” Zhong Liuchuan was shocked and thought, Are you kidding me?

“I’m not joking. I mean it,” Jia Zizai said. “I like this village and want to settle down here.”

“Alright, wait, let me ask you something,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

Jia Zizai didn’t say anything. He was just quietly smoking.

“Are you one of the board members?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Yes,” Jia Zizai answered.

Their company was strange. The core of the company was formed by a few board members in charge of different things. When they needed to decide on something important, they would meet together and vote. They did it formally. Therefore, all the board members had high authority in the company.

“Well, I don’t have the power you think I have, and not everyone gets along with everyone,” Jia Zizai said. “Look, I’ve been missing for days, and no one from the company came to look for me. Maybe they all wanted me to disappear so they can appoint a new board member.”

“Nonsense,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Do you think I know nothing about the company? You know too much. I got myself into this trouble because I saw something I was not supposed to see by accident. You know way more than I do. Do you think they will allow you to retire unless you are dead?”

“I’m sick and tired of my job,” Jia Zizai said “I’m sick of killing people. I think it would be nice to sit in a courtyard and enjoy the sunrise and sunset every day, just like what I’m doing now.”

“Well, on to the second point. I heard you have at least eight mistresses,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“That’s not true! Absolutely not true,” Jia Zizai said.

“Isn’t one of them another board member?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Well, unfortunately, you are right,” Jia Zizai said with a sigh.

Zhong Liuchuan continued, “My third point…”

“How many more points do you have?” Jia Zizai asked.

“This is the most important point. I don’t think Dr. Wang will accept you as a student,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“How come I didn’t consider you an interesting person before?” Jia Zizai asked as he took a puff off his cigarette. He looked dispirited.

Wang Yao suddenly came in.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Hi, Liuchuan, you are here too,” Wang Yao said. “Mr. Jia, how are you feeling?”

He had dropped by several times in the past few days to observe the effect of the Muscle Softening Powder.

“Not too bad. I still have some strength,” said Jia Zizai, who was very cooperative.

“Are you still happy with your life here?” Wang Yao asked.

“Are you mocking me?” Jia Zizai turned his head to look at him.

“I’m still thinking about how to sort you out,” Wang Yao said. “If I let you go, you will be big trouble for me. I heard it from Liuchuan that people from your company tend to bear grudges toward people who offend them. However, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to keep you here for too long. I think the best way is to get rid of you without anyone knowing.”

“Have you ever killed anyone?” Jia Zizai calmly asked.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“Can I ask what made you kill?” Jia Zizai asked.

“They threatened my family,” Wang Yao replied.

“I see,” Jia Zizai said. “I know you probably won’t take my words seriously, however, I still want to tell you that if you let me go, people from my company will not come to take revenge on you. I will kill anyone who causes you trouble.”

“Let me think about it,” Wang Yao said as he stood up.

He and Zhong Liuchuan left the room.

“Dr. Wang, I think the effect of the Muscle Softening Powder is fading,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“You are right,” Wang Yao replied. “It’s almost gone.”

“I’m afraid the rope won’t stop him from getting out.” Zhong Liuchuan knew Jia Zizai well. Let alone a rope, people like him could escape from jail with strong security.
