《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 687 - The Highest Realm of Investment
Advertisement
It took a great effort for Naoto Ohshima and Shin Nomura to reach the shore. The two of them were wet. Naoto Ohshima fiddled around his pockets and realised that he had lost his wallet and his phone was soaked, it was fried.
As for Shin Nomura, he still had his wallet, so he comforted Naoto Ohshima, “Let us leave immediately. It won’t be good if that Chinese physician catches up to us.”
The two of them had long recognised Su Tao. It was the young physician who had once broken the rules of the hospital to treat Chiaki Sakamoto, but they never expected that he could fight so well.
As two of them walked on a small path, a bunch of men wearing suits came in their direction. The one leading wore a golden chain, a buzzcut, and had a scar across his brow. When the two of them saw them, they exchanged a look and instantly rejoiced. They wondered if this group before them was the backup of the Hayakawa-gumi. With backup, wouldn’t they be able to repay all their suffering?
“What should we do? Should we go?” Naoto Ohshima was indecisive.
“Let us leave. The Yakuza isn’t someone that we can provoke!” Shin Nomura was a little timid.
“What about my 2,000,000 yen!” Naoto Ohshima was still feeling reluctant.
Inwardly sighing, Shin Nomura could only go along with him. “Then, let’s follow them back. If the situation isn’t optimistic, we’ll leave immediately!”
Just when Naoto Ohshima was about to nod his head, his lips suddenly trembled as if he had seen something terrifying. When Shin Nomura followed his gaze over, he was also terrified. Another group came in this direction, as well. This group wasn't wearing the same style as the men of the other group, and all of them had an oppressive air around them.
“Hey, friend!” The one leading the group waved his hand at Naoto Ohshima and asked, “What are you guys doing here? Why are you guys all drenched?”
Naoto Ohshima’s legs instantly trembled. This fellow was the one that instructed him to frame Oida Yoshikawa and Yu Omuri. After that incident, Naoto Ohshima had investigated them, and they were Chinese from Minnan Province.
There was an incident in the past, which caused a group of people from Minnan Province to migrate to Japan, using their connections to change their nationality. Henceforth, the Japanese were dreadful of this group of Chinese, and they were the only organisation that the Hayakawa-gumi did not dare to recklessly touch.
In Japan, aside from Yakuzas, there were also the Minqing Gang and Penglai Gang.
Furthermore, the one leading the group was one of the leaders in the Minqing Gang, Yang Xiong.
Naoto Ohshima immediately lowered his head as he shivered. “We’re here to relax.”
Sweeping a glance at Naoto Ohshima, Yang Xiong smiled as he warned, “Remember, keep your mouth shut about what happened.”
Nodding his head like a robot, Naoto Ohshima replied, “Please be reassured, we will definitely bring it to our graves.”

“Then, leave!” Yang Xiong patted Naoto Ohshima, which nearly caused the latter’s knees to give in.
After Yang Xiong left with the group, Naoto Ohshima recovered with beads of sweat covering his forehead.
“Are we still going over?” Shin Nomura probed.
“Are you courting death?” Naoto Ohshima rolled his eyes at Shin Nomura. Spending 2,000,000 yen to keep his life safe wasn’t expensive.
When Yasushi Ishimaru saw one of the leaders of the Hayakawa-gumi, Yoshida Kotani, standing on shore with a dark expression, he instantly rejoiced. He knew that his reinforcements came, and the flame in his heart blazed once more. Wiping the traces of blood off the corner of his lips, he laughed, “You guys are so doomed! I know that you can fight well, but can you fight against a few hundred people?”
Su Tao locked his brows together as his heart became cloudy. He wasn’t afraid of these people, and it’s easy for him to escape. However, he was with Yu Omuri and Natsuki Sakamoto, which he wasn’t confident to flee with the two of them around.
However, that group did not move but just stood on the shore. At this moment, another group came over and they’re clearly not from the same organisation with a gap separated between them. The man wearing a suit, gold chain, and had a scar stood with Yang Xiong in the middle of the two groups. The one with the scar handed a cigarette to Yang Xiong, which the latter took and lit it up for himself and the scarred man as well. Roughly ten-odd minutes later, the two of them returned to their groups.
Another few minutes later, a young and skinny man stepped out beside Yang Xiong as he walked over and smiled. “You must be Physician Su, right? I’m Ole Five; my boss has already communicated with them. You guys can leave now. As for Natsuki Sakamoto’s matter, they will give you an explanation on it.”
At this moment, a person walked out of the Hayakawa-gumi and grabbed Yasushi Ishimaru by the collar, giving him two slaps before throwing him out.
Although Su Tao had no idea what was going on, he could figure out that the Chinese group must have helped him out.
When Su Tao came ashore, Yang Xiong smiled as he walked over and introduced himself, “My name is Yang Xiong, and I’m under orders to escort you. I heard that you’ve treated Vice-President Mu? I wonder if you can take a look at some of my brothers’ ailments as well?”
“Thank you for your timely help.” Su Tao smiled as he asked, “But what about them?”
“Boss Gu has already greeted Hayakawa-gumi’s Oyabun, and we’ve discussed this matter between them. Natsuki Sakamoto has already ended her contract with them, and this matter was done privately by Yasushi Ishimaru. He has violated the Hayakawa-gumi’s rules, and he will be dealt with accordingly.” Yang Xiong replied before he continued, “For someone like him, he will definitely be expelled.”

Letting out a sigh, Su Tao looked at Yu Omuri and smiled. “Now you guys can finally feel relieved.”
“It has already been resolved!” Yu Omuri immediately explained to Natsuki Sakamoto.
Natsuki Sakamoto’s eyes flashed with gratitude as she said, “Help me thank Mr. Su. He helped me numerous times, and I can never repay him in this lifetime.”
“Don’t worry about it. I will repay him for you.” Yu Omuri smiled with a flicker of warmth appeared in his eyes.
After that, Yu Omuri immediately returned the case to Su Tao and thanked, “Since it has already been resolved, then we do not need this sum of money anymore. You can have it back!”
However, Su Tao shook his head and replied, “Consider it your pre-payment. Your income, it will be linked to the income of the medicine factory. In a nutshell, you will not have any income if the medicine factory does not earn any profit. You can take this money to get a home in China and use it for your daily activities.”
When Yu Omuri heard Su Tao’s words, he was so touched that he started to tear up. He had treated Su Tao as the second Chinese whom he felt greatly indebted towards, aside from his master, Qian Honghu.
Su Tao had his own reasons why he spent so much on Yu Omuri; he was a Japanese. Hence, it was unavoidable for Su Tao to be on guard with him. Only by obtaining his trust from the bottom of his heart could Su Tao win his loyalty.
Yu Omuri wasn’t the same as Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei in Su Tao’s heart. Even if Su Tao had some understanding of Yu Omuri and knew that he wasn’t someone who would kick his benefactor in the teeth, he still had his guard up.
“Thank you for your trust. May I know when I can officially start working?” Yu Omuri asked with a grave and expectant expression.
“I’ll help the two of you with your procedures to leave the country first, in which someone will come and contact the two of you in two days.” Su Tao had already asked Yan Jing to deal with this matter, but since it involved some procedures, it would take some time.
“I will be on standby!” Yu Omuri nodded his gravely head.
Yang Xiong got someone to send Yu Omuri and Natsuki Sakamoto home, while Su Tao followed them to their base. Their base was located in a warehouse on the outskirts. Yang Xiong had already called ten-odd brothers over. Su Tao took a glance at them, but they were mostly suffering from superficial injuries, so he immediately conducted his treatments.
“Brother, there’s nothing serious with the injury on your right arm. I just have to dress it again, which involves cutting open your wound to remove the rotten flesh. But there’s nothing to be worried about, and I guarantee that it will be a pain-free procedure. When you’ve recovered, it won’t even leave a scar.”
“Lad, did your girlfriend scratch you on the face? It’s a little infected. You just have to watch your hygiene and apply some medicine.”
“Brother, how many people were you chased by? You’ve injured your ligament, and the treatment will be slightly complicated.”
“What? You’re not here for treatment but for your girlfriend? It’s fine. Tell me about it!”
Roughly two hours later, Su Tao finally treated everyone and he had exhaustion written on his face.
Yang Xiong had been standing to the side, watching all of the treatments. He felt grateful from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of Su Tao. It was no wonder that Boss Gu would have such a high evaluation of Su Tao, so this person turned out to be an unparalleled genius.
All sorts of illnesses were nothing to him. Regardless of acupuncture or massage, he could treat any condition.
“You’re truly well deserving of your reputation as a Divine Physician!” Everyone who was treated by Su Tao involuntarily sighed from the bottom of their hearts.
When Su Tao finished, Gu Yin arrived and smiled. “It has been tough on you. Come, let’s eat!”
“It’s not tough. On the contrary, it felt fulfilling that I can help everyone.” Su Tao gave a humble reply.
After following Gu Yin into the vehicle, Su Tao sat beside him. When he saw Gu Yin’s expression, he asked, “Mr. Gu, what are you thinking about?”
He wasn’t gossipy, but he knew that Gu Yin had something to ask him.
“I heard that you’re going to open a pharmacy branch in Kyoto?” Gu Yin smiled.
“Yeah!” Su Tao nodded his head.
“What do you think about opening it in Chinatown? I’ll pick a location for you, and I guarantee that it will be prosperous.” Gu Yin gently tapped on his thigh.
“Mr. Gu, I believe you have other thoughts, right?” Su Tao smiled.
Listening to Su Tao’s words, Gu Yin was briefly stunned before he laughed, “That’s right. I would like to invest, but that lass from the Ni Family is unwilling, so I came to ask you.”
If he was to lay a foot in Kyoto, he would definitely have to rely on someone like Gu Yin, and cooperating together might be a pretty good choice.
Hence, Su Tao straightforwardly agreed to it, “Sure, I’ll talk to Jingqiu about it.”
Seeing that Su Tao agreed to his investment, Gu Yin smiled. The reason why the Gu Family could grow so powerful was due to their insight. He was the same as Mu Jingchen, and he’s someone who evaluates the risk in investments.
The Gu Family’s investment method was at the highest realm of investment since they were investing on the person itself.
