"How about it, Doctor Hu! You're done taking the pulse, right? Have you now grasped everything? Tell us about it, so we can learn something too!"

Hearing Zhang Batian's mocking words, many people burst into laughter!

Hu Xiaobei lifted his head and gave Zhang Batian a cold glance.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei turned to Su Guo and described, "I already know the condition of the patient. Now, I need to find the Green Beauty Fruit. I will go personally to Miaojiang to search for it. Before I leave, I'll write you a prescription. Until I return, use it to stabilize the patient's condition!"

"Sure, Master Xiaobei!"

As Su Guo agreed, mocking laughter once again reached everyone's ears.

"Green Beauty Fruit? What kind of nonsense is that?"

"Yeah! Are you saying you can't cure him so you're coming up with an excuse to run off looking for medicine?"

"Haha, that's exactly what I thought!"

Heard amid the clamorous mocking, Hu Xiaobei scoffed and said, "I can't cure him?"

With that said, Hu Xiaobei brought out the silver needles used for acupuncture.

After twirling them gently, Hu Xiaobei spoke coldly, "Open your damned eyes and watch closely!"

Having said that, Hu Xiaobei swiftly inserted four silver needles into four acupuncture points in front of the patient.

"What are we looking at? Are you showing us how to perform acupuncture?"

"Yeah, exactly, idiot!"

"Performing acupuncture in front of us? You're really like playing the lute before a cow, this..."

Before they could finish, they were struck speechless.

Because at that moment, Zhu Liwei, who had been in a deep coma, opened his eyes...

"What the..."

While they stood dumbfounded, the now-awake Zhu Liwei coughed violently.

Quickly, he spat out a mouthful of dark black pus and blood...

In an instant, a pungent odor filled the entire room.

Everyone who smelled it felt slightly light-headed!

Noticing this, Hu Xiaobei quickly commanded, "Open the windows!"

"Yes!"

Several servants hurriedly opened the windows upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words.

As the windows were opened, the air in the room began to circulate swiftly.

This made everyone feel a bit better...

Exchanging horrified glances, they looked at the pool of pus and blood on the floor.

They knew it was obviously poisonous...

As they were in shock, Hu Xiaobei instructed, "Su Guo, use some cotton swabs dipped in alcohol to clean it up!"

"Yes!"

Su Guo agreed and quickly set to work, and within a minute, the poisoned blood was completely wiped clean...

...

"What's happened to me?"

After the poisoned blood was cleaned up, the weak Zhu Liwei spoke from the sickbed.

Hearing his puzzled words, Su Guo hurried over to explain...

While Su Guo was explaining, Hu Xiaobei faced Zhang Batian, "Vice Chairman Zhang, now, do you believe in my abilities?"

"This..."

Zhang Batian's mouth twitched violently!

Soon, Zhang Batian spoke, "What is going on here, you... you really revived him?"

Feeling Zhang Batian's nervousness, Hu Xiaobei looked at him deeply and said, "No, I've only temporarily forced out some of the poison in his body. However, there's still a lot of toxins inside him, so he will lose consciousness again soon. To fully recover, he still needs a special medicine!"

"I see!"

Zhang Batian let out a slight sigh of relief.

But the look he gave Hu Xiaobei was tinged with a trace of wariness and resentment.

Hu Xiaobei noticed his gaze and gained a bit of understanding about who the poisoner might be.

Of course, Hu Xiaobei had no intention of exposing the truth, for he knew the time was not yet ripe...

...

Half an hour later, when Zhu Liwei fell unconscious again due to the poison attacking his heart, Hu Xiaobei scanned the room and said, "Earlier, I mentioned I need to go to Miaojiang to search for a medicinal herb, and some were doubtful. Having seen my abilities, you should believe me now, right?"

Zhang Batian's mouth twitched fiercely, knowing Hu Xiaobei was referring to him, he said, "Earlier, I spoke out of concern for the patient, so I made some careless remarks. Your strength is indeed very strong, so I apologize to you. But I still want to ask, how long will your trip take? If it's too long, the patient can't wait."

Hu Xiaobei glanced at Zhang Batian and replied directly, "No more than half a month! Before I depart, I will leave a prescription, so the patient's condition will certainly not worsen."

"What if you take longer than half a month to return?"

"Then consider it my loss!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, Zhang Batian addressed everyone present, "You all heard Hu Xiaobei, right?"

"We did!"

With others' confirmation, Zhang Batian spoke up, "I hereby wish you a triumphant return!"

"Good!"

After giving Zhang Batian a deep look, Hu Xiaobei turned away with a light chuckle...

...

Twenty minutes later, Hu Xiaobei and Su Guo parted ways, heading straight for the airport...

Holding the prescription in her hand, Su Guo took a deep breath, "I hope Master Xiaobei can find the Green Beauty Fruit quickly and return promptly! Otherwise, it's unthinkable!"

Having lived this long, Su Guo hadn't been too concerned about power and influence, having already let go.

But he still couldn't give up his position as Chairman, because he knew what kind of person Zhang Batian was.

Knowing that the Chinese Medicine Association would only be ruined if it fell into his hands...

"Chairman, I believe Master Xiaobei will definitely succeed!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

"I believe so too!"

Seeing Su Guo's solemn expression, several Chinese Medicine practitioners quickly approached...

Su Guo nodded slightly upon hearing their words.

As Su Guo still worried, Zhang Kuang urgently addressed his grandfather Zhang Batian, "Grandfather, Hu Xiaobei just managed to awaken Zhu Liwei. If he truly goes to Miaojiang and finds the Green Beauty Fruit he needs, revitalizing Zhu Liwei, then what shall we do?"

Hearing the urgency in Zhang Kuang's voice, Zhang Batian sneered, "Hu Xiaobei is certainly formidable, I admit I underestimated him before! But even so, I definitely cannot let him spoil my plan!"

Zhang Batian had been nurturing his plan to take Su Guo's place as chairman his whole life and was absolutely unable to accept failure.

Feeling Zhang Batian's anger and resentment, Zhang Kuang quickly asked, "Grandfather, what's your plan?"

"Of course, to make sure Hu Xiaobei cannot return within the set time!"

"How will that be done?"

"Kill him!"

"But... is that really okay? Now, if something happens to him, everyone will immediately suspect us!"

Zhang Kuang had thought of a murder plan before, but he felt they truly couldn't act that way, especially at such a critical time.

After giving Zhang Kuang a look, Zhang Batian said with a cold laugh, "Idiot, we won't lay a hand on him here. We wait until he goes to Miaojiang, then have someone kill him there. Then, who can know it was us who did it? Even if they do find out, there will be no evidence, right?"

"This... Yes!"

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Kuang nodded vigorously.

He knew Miaojiang was fraught with danger, so if Hu Xiaobei truly died there, it would seem normal, and there'd be no worries of the investigation tracing back to them...

With an excited smile, Zhang Kuang eagerly flattered, "Grandfather, your foresight is unmatched! But Hu Xiaobei is quite tricky, you must send more people to deal with him! If he manages to escape, things will become troublesome."

"Don't worry! I won't let him slip through my fingers," Zhang Batian replied coldly.

Hearing this, Zhang Kuang laughed!

He knew Hu Xiaobei was doomed to be torn asunder this time.

"What a pity, I won't get to torment you properly!"

With a sigh of regret, Zhang Kuang looked out of the window with a certain remorse.

He knew from now on, he could completely forget about Hu Xiaobei, for the latter would no longer be an obstacle to him...
