《Physician’s Odyssey》Chapter 843 - Enemy to Benefactor
Advertisement
The forums were swept by a piece of news on the second day that attracted the attention of the. The Chairman of the Medicine Deity Corporation did not commit suicide, but he was murdered.
The reason why this piece of news became so popular due to the novelty. After all, a murder case didn’t happen every day. Right now, there were different versions of analysis on Wang Guofeng’s murder.
Among all the analyses, Luo Ran had the biggest suspicion. He was released from the prison after Wang Guofeng’s death and replaced Wang Guofeng as the chairman.
Luo Ran paced around his office, anxiously. The internet was terrifying. Aside from being filled with imagination, it could also be used as a tool for investigation. Luo Ran had just received a call from a stranger in his office line to ask if he was related to Wang Guofeng’s death.
He knew nothing about Wang Guofeng’s death. He was still imprisoned when Wang Guofeng died. And Wang Guofeng’s corpse was already cremated when he came out. However, he knew that Rangure was behind Wang Guofeng’s death.
Rangure suddenly came into the office and sat down on the couch. She retrieved a cigarette from her pocket and lit it up. She looked composed on the surface, albeit to the pressure that she was feeling.
Wang Guofeng’s death had already been determined as a case of suicide. But she never expected that someone would reopen the case. This made Rangure felt that there was an invisible hand stretching towards her from the dark.
“Right now, everyone is saying that I’m the murderer for Wang Guofeng’s death. Furthermore, they even pointed out that the death note was forged. This news is causing the corporation’s stocks to fall. We have already applied to suspend trading. What should we do now?” Luo Ran asked helplessly.
“Do you know why you’re in that position?” Rangure puffed out in annoyance. “The Chairman of the Medicine Deity Corporation isn’t for everyone. Both Bai Fan and Wang Guofeng had to assume responsibility to be in that position. Do you know what I’m saying right now?”
“You’re asking me to plead guilty?” Luo Ran was at a loss with sorrow on his face. He was just promoted for a chairman for days, and he had barely gotten his seat warm. But he had to become a scapegoat now?
“We’re not at that point yet.” Rangure took in a deep puff as she continued, “The controversy caught us by surprise, but you don’t have to be too worried about it. They’re only yapping around without any evidence.”
Luo Ran felt relieved after seeing how composed Rangure was. “The Three Flavour Hall received good praises for their first batch of medicine for the hospitals under the military system. It caused a huge loss of orders for the medicine factory that we’d acquired.”
Sweeping a glance at Luo Ran, Rangure replied, “Pay attention to the layout. There are 7 billion people in the world. China only occupies 20% of the world’s population. We will have more rooms to expand if we can expand out of China.”

Luo Ran went along with Rangure’s words despite the disagreement in his heart. China is the root of Chinese medicine. How would they be competitive in the international market if they couldn’t find a market for themselves in China?
“You don’t have to worry about it. Just stay seated in the Chairman position. Wang Guofeng’s case won’t affect you.” Rangure comforted Luo Ran before she left in a hurry. When she took the lift down and entered the vehicle, she suddenly received a call.
“Bad news! We wanted to get rid of Liu En, but we fell for a trap instead. Five of us were injured, and we even have one captured!” Her assistant, Mike, reported with a bitter smile. “This is a trap waiting for us.”
“Damn it!” Rangure let out a heavy breath. “Stay calm for now. Hide those who are injured. As for that injured one, we can only give up on him.”
“Roger that!” Mike ended the call. He understood Rangure’s personality well. The moment she abandoned a chess piece, she would do so without any hesitation.
The news online about Wang Guofeng’s death caused Rangure to notice that the situation was getting out of hand. At the same time, Su Tao set up a trap knowing that Rangure would try to eliminate Liu En.
In the end, it was just as Su Tao had expected. Under Jiang Qinghan’s meticulous planning, they managed to injure five of the assassins while capturing one.
Then again, it wasn’t as simple as it looked. Zhang Zhen and his team had also suffered some casualties. Furthermore, the captured assassin had undergone professional training and wasn’t cooperative with the investigation.
Now that the matter had blown up, Huaibei Province’s police department had no choice but to reopen the case for investigation.
It was all going well, according to Su Tao’s plan.
Su Tao was going to clip off Qin Jingyu’s wings since he would launch an assault. Getting rid of Rangure would be a massive blow to Qin Jingyu.
Roughly at 4 p.m. the next day, Dong Yun came to the Three Flavour Hall once more. But she did not bring anyone with him this time. Furthermore, she even came with a flower basket.
Chen Rui was terrified when she saw Dong Yun. But she was shocked when Dong Yun talked to her amicably.
“Can I ask the whereabouts of your boss?” Dong Yun had just gotten the results for the DNA test. It was only an initial verification, but it could already prove that the baby was related to her husband, Wang Rui.
“He’s around. May I ask what is it about?” Chen Rui asked cautiously.
“I’m here to apologize for my rash actions.” Dong Yun embarrassedly said. “I was at fault during my previous visit for being too impulsive. I’m really ashamed about it.”
Chen Rui suddenly felt as if the sun had risen on the other side. “He had just finished for the day. He should be in the consultation room right now. Please come with me!”

Dong Yun sighed out in relief. At the same time, she was vexed with how impulsive she had acted during her previous visit. It had already been proven that she had wronged Su Tao. She had no idea what she would do if Su Tao held a grudge and kept her grandson’s whereabouts from her.
She was already prepared to take whatever Su Tao throws at her. Whatever Su Tao throws at her, she would keep her attitude lowered and seek his forgiveness.
Su Tao was surprised when he saw Chen Rui coming in with Dong Yun. He guessed that Dong Yun must have received the results for the DNA test. Su Tao smiled as he looked at Chen Rui, “Get a cup of tea for Aunt Dong.”
Chen Rui left with an acknowledgment and left the room. She was getting a kick after seeing how Dong Yun had lowered herself. It felt simply too satisfying!
When Chen Rui returned with tea, she was shocked to see Dong Yun kneeling before Su Tao. She never expected Dong Yun’s attitude would change so drastically. She wasn’t only apologizing, but even begging?
Chen Rui was sensible as she did not enter the room immediately. Otherwise, wouldn’t she make the situation awkward?
“Aunt Dong, what are you doing?” Su Tao immediately helped Dong Yun on her feet.
“Please let my grandson off!” Dong Yun had already staked it all. She had abandoned her dignity to beg Su Tao. She was the one who caused trouble in the Three Flavour Hall arrogantly. And now, her grandson was in Su Tao’s hand. She wasn’t worried that Su Tao would do anything to harm her grandson, but she was worried that Su Tao might keep her grandson away from her. If that was the case, it would be painful.
“Please, get up!” Su Tao’s anger disappeared after seeing how an elderly woman went as far as kneeling before him. “Don’t worry about it. The mother and child are both safe. They’re now in Beijing, and I’ve also assigned someone to ensure their safety.”
“Thank you! T-thank you!” Dong Yun said as she wiped her tears.
She never expected that Su Tao would suddenly turn from an enemy to a benefactor. “Can I see them?”
“Sure!” Su Tao replied. He also decided to throw her a disclaimer beforehand. “But there’s something that I will like to tell you beforehand. The child might be your biological grandson, but the mother… is a married woman.”
“AH?” Su Tao’s revelation dumbfounded Dong Yun. She heard rumors that her son was having an affair with married women, but she did not believe them. Now that she heard it from Su Tao personally, her heart shattered.
“What sins…” Dong Yun felt terrible. But then again, so what if she was a married woman? It was fortunate enough that the Wang Family still had a heir.
“I can bring you to them if you don’t mind.” Su Tao smiled.
“Don’t worry about it. I will try to understand her. She might not be my daughter-in-law, but she will still be a member of the Wang Family. No matter what she does in the future, she will still be my grandson’s mother.” Dong Yun gnashed her teeth.
Su Tao then left the Three Flavour Hall with Dong Yun to Zhang Ailian’s residence.
When Zhang Ailian opened the door, her face suddenly turned red when she saw Dong Yun. Although they hadn’t met before, Zhang Ailian had seen photos of Dong Yun in Wang Guofeng’s office.
“Hello!” Zhang Ailian greeted.
Dong Yun began to examine Zhang Ailian. She knew that Zhang Ailian’s relationship with her son couldn’t be disclosed. However, Su Tao had already given her a disclaimer beforehand. Letting out a sigh, Dong Yun squeezed out a smile, “I’m here to look at the child!”
“He’s currently sleeping after drinking milk.” Zhang Ailian immediately replied.
“Alright. We’ll just have to be softer.” Dong Yun quietly walked on her toes as she followed Zhang Ailian.
Tears started to roll down Dong Yun’s cheeks when she looked at her grandson. The child shared an uncanny resemblance to Wang Guofeng.
The two of them didn’t stay long. They were afraid of waking the child.
“The child is still young. It’s inconvenient for you to be staying alone with a child. You can come live with us tomorrow.” Dong Yun came out straight.
Zhang Ailian was shocked by Dong Yun’s words. She knew that the Wang Family was a prestigious household in Beijing. It’s not a place that anyone could come and go easily, not to mention that she was still married. “Why don’t I…”
“You’re the mother of the child. Breastfeeding is the best for the child right now. Hiring a nanny won’t be as attentive as the mother. Furthermore, the child still has to adapt to the environment. Just agree to my request for the sake of the child.” Dong Yun disrupted Zhang Ailian’s words.
Dong Yun sounded as if she was begging Zhang Ailian to agree to her request.
Listening to Dong Yun’s words, the brim of Zhang Ailian’s eyes began to turn red.
Su Tao sighed as he stood by the side. He wondered if Wang Guofeng’s spirit would thank him. After all, he had investigated Wang Guofeng’s death and even helped sort out Wang Guofeng’s family matters.
