Chapter 292: Chapter 293: He Zinan Invites Li Yang

Li Yang was stunned the moment he saw her.

He Zinan!

’It’s her!’

’This was the woman who once claimed she needed a giant snake’s gallbladder to cure her illness. I ended up treating her, and in return, she helped me by finding Wu Juan’s hiding place. We haven’t seen each other since then. I can’t believe she’s actually come looking for me now.’

"Miss He!" Li Yang said with some surprise as he greeted her.

He Zinan wore a purple outfit, giving her a sharp and valiant air.

"Hello, Divine Doctor Li!" He Zinan smiled, speaking to Li Yang in a friendly tone.

Li Yang felt a bit embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Please, don’t call me Divine Doctor. I’m no such thing. Come on in, have a seat!"

Li Yang was a bit puzzled by her visit.

But he wasn’t surprised at all that she was able to find him.

’She’s clearly not an ordinary person. Otherwise, there’s no way she could have found Wu Juan so quickly.’

"Aren’t you curious why I’ve come to find you?" He Zinan couldn’t help but ask, a little surprised by Li Yang’s calm expression.

Li Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "Not at all. You’re probably just here to thank me."

He Zinan let out a laugh, her interest in Li Yang growing.

After a short while, she sat down and said with a smile, "Your medical skills are truly astonishing. I never thought you could cure a poison I’ve had for three years in an instant. Speaking of which, I haven’t even properly thanked you yet."

Li Yang shook his head. "That’s not necessary. There’s no need to thank me again. You already have."

He Zinan smiled, then shook her head and said, "That was different. That was just a small favor. It’s nothing compared to you saving my life."

Li Yang simply fell silent.

"This place of yours is nice!" He Zinan said. "The scenery is beautiful!"

Li Yang kept his mouth shut.

"By the way, I actually do have a favor to ask you this time!" He Zinan said, finally getting to the point. "I’d like to ask for your help in saving someone."

Li Yang raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "Miss He, if you have something to say, please be direct."

Li Yang could tell this woman was far from simple. Truth be told, he had no desire to get involved in her business, but since she was here seeking medical help, he had little choice in the matter.

’A doctor must have a benevolent heart.’

"My father has been poisoned, too!" He Zinan said with a bitter smile, her expression turning very serious. "This poison is different from mine. I don’t know how he was poisoned, but it’s very troublesome... I’m at my wit’s end. I’ve hired many people, but none of them could cure it, so my only choice was to come to you. I hope you can help!"

Li Yang didn’t agree immediately, nor did he refuse. He simply asked slowly, "Who poisoned you two? It must be related to when you were poisoned, right?"

He Zinan thought for a moment before saying, "It might be related, but we haven’t been able to find out for sure. So, as of now, we have to say we don’t know."

Li Yang hummed in acknowledgment. He didn’t seem surprised, as if he had expected that answer.

"Can you help?" He Zinan asked with a serious expression.

Li Yang thought for a moment and said, "I can certainly save a life. But I don’t want to get involved in anything else."

"I know!" He Zinan said earnestly. "You just want to be a businessman, right?"

Li Yang laughed. "Can’t be helped. I’m just a simple farmer with no grand ambitions. I’m content with just being a small-time businessman."

"When can you do it?" He Zinan asked.

"Is it urgent?"

"Yes, very urgent!" He Zinan said seriously. "Extremely urgent."

"Then let’s go now," Li Yang said after a moment’s thought. He didn’t have anything else pressing at the moment, so he might as well make the trip with He Zinan.

"Thank you!" He Zinan was overjoyed. "I’ll take you there."

Li Yang nodded, got into He Zinan’s car, and they headed straight for the city.

After arriving in the city, He Zinan promptly led Li Yang to a villa.

Inside and outside the villa, numerous people stood guard. Clearly, the owner was no ordinary person.

Li Yang didn’t ask any questions and just followed her inside.

Along the way, several burly men in black cast questioning glances his way, but with He Zinan present, none of them spoke up to question or block his path.

He followed her all the way inside.

Inside the villa, the atmosphere was grim.

"Is there no hope?" one of the middle-aged men asked.

"There’s nothing to be done!" an old man who looked like a doctor said, shaking his head. "This poison... I can’t find any weakness in it at all. We don’t even know its name. How can we cure it? It’s impossible."

The others sighed.

"So you’re saying Master He is doomed to die?" another person said, unable to accept it. "No, that can’t happen. Master He can’t die."

"Right!" the others all echoed.

"Is it because your medical skills are no good?" someone shot back at the doctor.

The doctor was furious. "My skills are no good? If my skills were no good, your Master He would have been dead long ago! Would you even have the chance to stand here and question me? This poison... even if the best doctor in the world came, they still wouldn’t be able to cure it!"
