Chapter 360: Establishing Power in Qingshui (9) Immortal Physician’s Benevolent Heart

One in the morning, at the intersection of Qingxi Road and Gufeng Road.

Ling Yun’s hands were behind his back as he stood still and stared at his unfortunate clinic. When he looked inside the clinic, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

“They really wrecked my clinic. It seems like I really have to renovate this place again…”

In fact, there was no need to look inside the clinic at all. From the outside, one could see that all the glass windows and doors were smashed into pieces. The glass fragments were all over the clinic floor, and the newly purchased furniture was all over the place, scattered and destroyed. None of them were still in their original shapes.

At the staircase to the second level, there were a few blood stains that had already solidified. Some house flies were flying around the stains, which made the entire scene extremely disgusting.

Evidently, Yao Rou came down from the second level when she heard the commotion on the day of the incident. She came down to stop them from coming up and was badly injured.

Tsk! I’m really letting them off easy this time! After Ling Yun saw the horrendous state of the clinic, he cursed in his heart.

“They have already received their fair share of retribution. I think you should forget about this incident…” When Cui Lao saw that Ling Yun was getting angrier, he hurriedly advised him against doing anything more.

“Ordinary People’s Clinic… Ling Yun, the name of your clinic is really interesting! Just that it doesn’t really correspond to your style…” Dugu Mo commented when he lifted his head to see the signboard of the clinic.

Ling Yun thought to himself that this clinic wasn’t named by him. Instead, his mother gave the clinic its name.

Ling Yun walked to the corner of the intersection and looked across to the Qingxi Cuiyuan International Garden. He was convinced that Zhang Ling must have been worried sick after his long disappearance.

At the thought of Zhang Ling, Ling Yun naturally thought of Cao Shanshan too. He started to wonder why he hadn’t heard any news of Cao Shanshan after such a long time back? This wasn’t logical, so he had to return to ask Tang Meng about it.

“Let’s go, I need to find out where the workers are currently at so I can take a look at their condition.”

Looking at the shattered glass, Ling Yun knew that the second level of the clinic was probably not in any better a state than the first level. Therefore, he didn’t even bother going in to take a look.

Ling Yun extended his hand to stop a passing taxi. The three of them entered the car and returned swiftly to Mansion Number One.

Tang Meng didn’t have the key to Mansion Number One, so he was naturally unable to enter. Therefore, he could only wait in his car for Ling Yun to finish what he had to do.

After Ling Yun returned, he asked Tang Meng, “Tang Meng, where is the key to Mansion Number One now?”

Tang Meng rolled his eyes as he replied, “Brother Yun, the mansion has been sealed, so the key is naturally with the Public Security Bureau. The keys to both the mansions were confiscated!”

Ling Yun clenched his teeth as he cursed at Luo Zhong for daring to do something like that to him. Since he dared to do so, Ling Yun vowed to punish him tomorrow!

Even so, now wasn’t the time to find Luo Zhong. Ling Yun got Tang Meng to give Xue Meining a call to find out where the workers were at before heading there to find them.

Before leaving, Ling Yun told Cui Lao and Dugu Mo to return to their own places and said that they would meet up again tomorrow. However, the two of them rejected in unison and had no intention of leaving.

To Cui Lao, Ling Yun was his young master who had been wandering outside for over eighteen years. In Cui Lao’s eyes, Ling Yun was already the future successor of the Ling Family. He could forget about it if he hadn’t found Ling Yun after so long. However, now that he had found Ling Yun, how could he let him go so easily?

No matter how impressive Ling Yun looked thus far, Cui Lao needed to play his part. He had to do his best to protect Ling Yun and ensure he wouldn’t suffer in one way or another!

If something happened to Ling Yun after Cui Lao found him, how was Cui Lao going to answer to Grandpa Ling and Third Master Ling Xiao?

Therefore, Cui Lao had already made his decision from the instant they met. He would never let Ling Yun leave the range of his protection.

As for Dugu Mo, it was solely because he was bored. Since there was nothing to do back at his hotel except watching some shows or practicing his kung fu, he would rather follow Ling Yun around to have some fun!

From how Dugu Mo sneaked out of the Hengduan Mountain Range by himself, one could tell that he was a person who couldn’t stand being bored. It was almost impossible for Ling Yun to get him to go back to his hotel room at this point in time.

Seeing that the two of them indicated that they didn’t wish to leave, Ling Yun had no other choice but to bring them along with him.

The seven workers were currently staying in the city’s western suburbs. Since they were working in Qingshui City throughout the year, they found an apartment to rent. They weren’t very particular about the apartment and simply rented a two-room apartment. The place they were staying was even more torn down than Liu Li’s apartment.

Even with Xue Meining and Yao Rou’s directions over the phone, Tang Meng spent quite some time just to find the place they were staying at. He stopped the Ferrari in front of the shed that looked like it was about to be demolished.

The four of them got out of the car and found the place immediately. Without much hesitation, Ling Yun went to knock on the door.

Within the apartment, there was a noisy echo as the people inside asked who was outside. Ling Yun immediately recognized the voice of the foreman, and he smiled as he replied, “It’s me! I’m the boss of the clinic that you guys were renovating!”

“Aiyo! Why are you here at this time? Give me a moment, I’ll open the door for you now!”

The door was opened very quickly, and a simple and honest-looking man stood behind the door. It was the foreman, and he looked at Ling Yun and the three weird-looking people behind him. He was so shocked that he almost shut the door immediately.

How could he not be frightened? Cui Lao was wearing black clothing while Dugu Mo was dressed in a green robe. Tang Meng was a baldie, and there was even a snow-white fox beside them!

Seeing the expression of the foreman, Ling Yun knew that he had frightened him. He smiled awkwardly as he said, “Don’t be scared, they are all my friends! See, this is Tang Meng…”

The foreman looked closely and realized that the big baldie was really Tang Meng. He replied in a rather shocked tone, “It’s really Mister Tang, I haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re bald now?”

Before the incident, Tang Meng visited the clinic almost every day to check on the progress of the renovation. Therefore, he was very close to the foreman.

Tang Meng scratched his bald head helplessly and gave an awkward smile. “Heh, Worker Xu, the weather is pretty hot recently, so I shaved my head to make it more cooling for me…”

Tang Meng’s hatred for Xie Junyan increased by yet another level as he recalled his own long and graceful hair. He couldn’t wait to pluck Xie Junyan’s hairs out one by one!

“Come in, come in… Why are you here in the middle of the night?” Worker Xu knew that Ling Yun and Tang Meng must be here for matters regarding the clinic since it was already 1am. Hence, he hurriedly invited them into the house.

The other workers also put on their clothes as they got out of bed to give a warm welcome to Ling Yun and the others. They invited the four of them to sit as all of them looked at Little White in astonishment.

Ling Yun looked carefully at everyone under the light, and he realized that there was still a dark green mark on their forehead. Indeed, they were all poisoned.

However, the workers were still able to move freely and do whatever they needed to do on a daily basis. Moreover, the poison expert’s purpose in placing the worms into their bodies was so that the worms could suck all their blood. The workers were meant to nurture the worms. Therefore, they wouldn’t feel any pain in their bodies. However, their health would deteriorate over time.

“Ai… Lady Yao is really pitiful to suffer the wrath of those Xiangxi people. We tried to help but were of no help, and they wrecked the clinic that we took so much time to renovate…”

After Worker Xu sat down, he looked extremely apologetic as he turned to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun glanced at these men before smiling. “Worker Xu, don’t feel bad about it! We can always renovate again even after they wreck it! No worries!”

“In fact, my purpose here today is to save you guys!” Without wasting any more time, Ling Yun expressed his intentions.

“What! Save us?” After the workers heard that, they were all taken aback. Worker Xu replied, “Didn’t that old Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor heal us already? I don’t feel any problem with my body so far!”

When Ling Yun heard that, he knew that Miracle Doctor Xue must have helped them suppress the worms in their bodies despite not being able to force them out. However, something like that would be too shocking to tell them, which was why Miracle Doctor Xue didn’t tell them more.

He smiled faintly. “Worker Xu, have you guys realized that after the incident you have been eating much more than usual but your bodies are getting weaker and weaker?”

After Worker Xu and the other workers heard that, they exchanged glances of astonishment at how accurate Ling Yun was. No wonder Ling Yun opened a clinic!

Ling Yun continued with a light smile, “That is because you guys suffered the sorcery of the Xiangxi people. You might not be able to feel a difference in the short run, but over time, you will lose your life!”

“Ah!”

“What!”

“How!”

Everyone turned pale as they started worrying about their own health. Worker Xu asked Ling Yun in an anxious tone, “Ling Yun, what should we do now?”

Ling Yun’s chest was out as he smiled to console everyone. “Everyone, don’t worry! The reason why I rushed over at this time is so that I can help you guys!”

After saying that, he secretly took out nine needles and held them in his hands. He smiled at Worker Xu and said, “If Worker Xu trusts me, take off your clothes and let me help you poke some needles on your body. I guarantee that you will be fine immediately after that!”

Worker Xu looked at the shining needles in Ling Yun’s hand and felt a little worried and hesitant. He looked back at his own brothers anxiously.

Tang Meng chuckled as he commented, “Worker Xu, don’t hesitate! Big Brother Yun has already healed Sister Rou, so there is nothing for you to worry about!”

“What! Lady Yao is alright! Then…”

Everyone vividly remembered the horrific state that Yao Rou was in a few days ago. They were, of course, shocked to hear that Yao Rou recovered.

“Worker Xu, don’t worry. I’ll at most take three minutes!” Ling Yun smiled brightly as he continued to convince Worker Xu.

Indeed, Worker Xu was no longer worried, and he took off his clothes.

Ling Yun aimed at different positions before executing his Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. Within less than a minute, the dark green young Gu worm was forced out!

“Tsk!” Ling Yun sneered coldly as he grabbed the worm before showing it to everyone. “Look! This is the thing that is living in your body and feeding off you! Worker Xu is alright now!”

When everyone saw the small Gu worm that was still moving around in Ling Yun’s hand, they all cried out in surprise!
