Chapter 272: A Place Full of Trouble

They ordered six main dishes, two cold dishes, and one set of soup.

It was a bit too much for two people to have nine courses; they finished only half of the dishes, and then the servers took away the rest.

“There is a rule here: you have to take the food you can not finish,” said Guo Sirou with a smile.

“That is a good rule,” said Wang Yao, returning the smile as he put food into the take away boxes.

“Do you want to take some?” asked Guo Sirou.

“Sure, thank you,” said Wang Yao.

Guo Sirou drove Wang Yao back to the cottage, then stayed for a while before leaving.

The next morning, Wang Yao and Chen Ying went to the mental health rehabilitation facility where Chen Ying’s brother stayed.

Chen Ying’s brother was alert and normal at the beginning of the visit. He talked and behaved the same way as a normal person. But his eyes changed after five minutes.

Here we go!

Wang Yao took Chen Ying’s brother’s wrist immediately to check his pulse.

“Who are you guys? Where is this place?” asked Chen Ying’s brother.

He was starting a psychotic episode.

“Let me go!” shouted Chen Ying’s brother.

He tried his best to get rid of Wang Yao’s hand with blue veins showing on his face. However, he couldn’t.

“There have been consistent troubles for two hundred years. When you look back, winning or losing no longer matters. The nameless sword no longer exists in the world!” murmured Chen Ying’s brother.

This is so weird!

Wang Yao let Chen Ying’s brother go.

He couldn’t figure out Chen Ying’s brother’s condition at this point. It had always been hard to treat mental illnesses.

Wang Yao didn’t know how to treat Chen Ying’s brother.

He and Chen Ying had to leave as visiting time ended.

“You said he had a head injury when he was a little boy. When exactly was the injury?” asked Wang Yao.

“He had the injury when he was six years old. However, he only had his first psychotic episode a few years ago,” said Chen Ying.

“Did anything trigger the episode?” asked Wang Yao.

“I don’t think so as far as I am aware of,” said Chen Ying.

“I see. Don’t worry too much about it. Let me think about it,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, thanks,” said Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying was already very appreciative that Wang Yao would go to see her brother in person. She knew her brother’s condition was very hard to treat.

Wang Yao went to visit his aunt again in the afternoon.

His cousin had been transferred to a better high school, but Zhang Xiufang was still worried about her daughter. It made Zhang Xiufang’s chest ache to see her daughter sad and unhappy.

“Auntie, she will eventually get over that boy. Don’t worry too much,” said Wang Yao.

“I know,” said Zhang Xiufang.

“I plan to return to Lianshan tomorrow. Do you want me to do anything before I leave?” asked Wang Yao.

“No, thank you, Yao. You’ve done a lot for us,” said Zhang Xiufang.

Thanks to Wang Yao, Li Na was able to transfer to a different high school smoothly, and Zhang Xiufang could swap jobs. Wang Yao had done her family two big favors.

“You are welcome. This is the least I can do for my family,” said Wang Yao.

“Stay here for dinner tonight,” said Zhang Xiufang.

“No, thanks, I still have some errands to run. I won’t have time to come here to say goodbye to you tomorrow,” said Wang Yao.

“That’s fine. I wish you a safe trip, and say hello to your parents for me,” said Zhang Xiufang.

“Sure,” said Wang Yao.

He then said goodbye to Sun Zhengrong, who asked him about the future treatment plans anxiously.

It was gloomy with a sticky heat in the morning. Wang Yao went to do the last treatment for Su Xiaoxue before he left.

He continued to focus on removing the toxins in her body, unblocking the meridians, nourishing her tendons, and activating her blood.

“Take care,” said Wang Yao with a smile after the treatment.

“Thank you, Dr. Wang.” Su Xiaoxue’s voice was no longer as hoarse. Her eyes were still bright.

“Have a safe trip,” said Su Xiaoxue softly, knowing that Wang Yao was going to leave Beijing.

“Thank you, take care of yourself,” said Wang Yao.

Suddenly, Wang Yao wanted to see what Su Xiaoxue would look like once she had fully recovered.

“Let’s work together to make you better,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Su Xiaoxue with her mouth curved up slightly.

She should be smiling.

“Ms. Song, can I talk to you?” asked Wang Yao.

Song Ruiping led Wang Yao out of the room.

“It’s okay for her to take the decoctions I gave you,” said Wang Yao.

As a clever woman, Song Ruiping surely knew what Wang Yao meant.

“Of course,” said Song Ruiping.

She walked Wang Yao out of the house and watched him getting into the car. Then, she turned around and returned to the house. She put the two decoctions Wang Yao left for Su Xiaoxue in a safe place.

She had shown the decoctions Wang Yao had given her after the last two treatment sessions to Dr. Chen, and she asked Dr. Chen to take a small portion of each decoction to the laboratory. She tried to extrapolate the ingredients using advanced equipment. However, the results were not as well done as she had expected. The decoctions worked on her daughter due to the combination of herbs, not due to one single herb.

Wang Yao’s flight was at two pm. Chen Ying made lunch and drove Wang Yao to the airport afterward.

When they had arrived at the airport, Wang Yao found Guo Sirou and Sun Zhengrong were waiting for him. It was surprising that both of them came to see Wang Yao off.

“Hi, you guys don’t need to come,” said Wang Yao.

“I just want to thank you for treating my son,” said Sun Zhengrong.

“I first need to thank Chen Ying for taking good care of me. But thank you and Miss Guo for coming, from the bottom of my heart!” said Wang Yao with a smile.

“You are most welcome,” said Chen Ying.

“We welcome you to Beijing anytime,” said Guo Sirou.

“Dr. Wang, I also welcome you to Dao City anytime,” said Sun Zhengrong with a smile.

“Thank you,” said Wang Yao.

After the officers in the airport had reminded people of boarding, Wang Yao said goodbye to each of them, then boarded the plane.

The plane took off into the sky not long after.

Song Ruiping had booked first class for Wang Yao. Wang Yao could see the clouds through the window.

Beijing was a place full of troubles.

I’m not sure when I will come back here.

Song Ruiping had actually asked Wang Yao when he would visit Beijing again. However, Wang Yao didn’t give her a clear answer.

Given his current ability, he could only continue to use Blood Deblocking power and Antidote decoction to remove toxins and unlock the meridians. A number of treatment sessions would be required to make a big difference if he continued to use the same decoctions.

Then he would have to visit Beijing frequently over the next few months, if he did go along with it, and would have to stay in Beijing for at least a week at a time. Wang Yao didn’t want to make such a commitment.

Therefore, he didn’t make any promise to Song Ruiping. He only said something vague.

“I’ll see what I can do.” This is what Wang Yao said to Song Ruiping.

The plane landed in Haiqu airport late in the afternoon.

Wang Yao found Chen Boyuan waiting for him when he walked out of the airport.

“Hello, Dr. Wang,” said Chen Boyuan.

“Hello, When did you get here?” asked Wang Yao.

“I’ve just arrived. The car is waiting for you outside. Please follow me,” said Chen Boyuan politely. He had become increasingly polite to Wang Yao.

“Thank you,” said Wang Yao.

Chen Boyuan had already arranged a car to pick up Wang Yao. He drove very fast back to Haiqu.

“Dr. Wang, I’ve booked dinner, would you like to join me?” asked Chen Boyuan.

“No, thank you. I want to go home,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay,” said Chen Boyuan.

They arrived at the village an hour later. It was already dark outside.

Both of Wang Yao’s parents were at home.

Chen Boyuan took a lot of stuff out of the trunk of the car. There was local food from Beijing, expensive health supplements, along with other stuff.

“What are these?” asked Wang Yao.

“Oh, Ms. Song asked me to buy some presents for you. I hope you’ll accept them,” said Chen Boyuan.

Since he had already brought the stuff to Wang Yao’s house, Wang Yao just accepted them.

Wang Yao had a bitter smile on his face.

“No more presents. I’m serious,” said Wang Yao seriously.

“Okay.” Chen Boyuan nodded immediately.

Zhang Xiuying and Wang Fenghua were surprised to see Chen Boyuan and the driver bringing so much stuff to their house.

“Please come in and have a seat,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“No, thank you. Let me know if you need me to do anything. I’ve purchased all the herbs you requested. Would you like me to bring them tomorrow?” asked Chen Boyuan carefully.

“Yes,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, I’ll bring them tomorrow morning,” said Chen Boyuan.

He and the driver left after saying goodbye to Wang Yao’s parents.

“The two of them are too kind,” said Wang Yao.

“Why did they buy so much stuff from Beijing? It all looks quite expensive,” said Zhang Xiuying.

She didn’t know most of the stuff Chen Boyuan brought for her family. However, she presumed that all of it was quite expensive by their exquisite packaging.

“You are right,” said Wang Yao.

He didn’t tell Zhang Xiuying why Chen Boyuan brought so many stuff for his family, because he didn’t want his parents to worry.

“Have you had dinner?” asked Zhang Xiuying.

“Not yet,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, just wait for a moment, I’ll cook you something,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Okay,” said Wang Yao.

Zhang Xiuying soon came back from the kitchen with a bowl of warm noodles and two free-range eggs.

“Mmm. Mom’s noodles is the best in the world!” said Wang Yao as he ate.

“There are still some left in the wok,” said Zhang Xiuying.

“Dad, you can stay here tonight. I’ll go back to Nanshan Hill,” said Wang Yao.

“Okay, is everything alright in Beijing?” asked Wang Fenghua.

“Yes, and auntie’s family is all good,” said Wang Yao. He didn’t mention Li Na’s school transfer as he didn’t want Zhang Xiuying to worry.
