Chapter 890: A Storm Was Coming

“How many people came out of the valley?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“A total of seven people,” Xu Xinyuan said. “As far as I know, he might not be telling me the truth.”

“Are those seven people also good at using poisons and drugs?” Guo Zhenghe took a sip of tea.

“They should understand a little.”

“Uncle Xu, do you think there is a possibility that they have taken revenge against Miao Xihe, the current patriarch of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine, but they have no ability to deal directly with him so they thought of another way?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“Another way? What do you mean? Are you saying they are framing him?” Xu Xinyuan asked.

“Yes, they framed him to get him into trouble,” Guo Zhenghe said with half-shut eyes.

Xu Xinyuan began to seriously think about it.

It was possible, and the possibility was extremely great. He had been to the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. On the surface, it seemed to be just a small village like a paradise, but the layout inside was very sophisticated. There were also masters there, including kung fu masters and poison masters. These were tricky people. It was easy for people outside to get in, but it was difficult to get out. Even if those who escaped were from the village and familiar with the contents, they were only a handful of people. There were more than a hundred people in the village, so they didn’t have enough people to handle it.

“Yes, you are right. It’s possible, and the possibility is very high,” Xu Xinyuan said.

“This is… Why did that happen in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine?”

“I don’t know. It’s just a guess,” Guo Zhenghe said after taking a sip of tea.

“What should we do now?”

“We should do nothing for now. We will just wait and see what happens.”

“OK, we will wait and see,” Guo Zhenghe said. Xu Xinyuan also felt that this matter was not as simple as what he imagined, especially after he came into contact with those who had escaped from the valley. Those people were not as “simple” as they looked.

That’s all we can do!

“Uncle Xu, I am afraid you have to wait if you still want to revenge,” Guo Zhenghe said.

“Ah, I can wait.” He was ruthless, but he was able to calm down. Once when he wanted to kill a person for revenge, he watched the enemy going about their daily business every day with a cheerful and happy look on his face. After about a year, he ensured the person died very painfully. He cut him into pieces while he was alive.

That’s good! That’s good! Guo Zhenghe thought.

He was afraid that if Uncle Xu couldn’t resist his bad mood and had a bad temper, he would have to avenge himself. That would provoke the anger of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. By then, he would not get any profit. Instead, he would suffer a lot of loss. It would also cause endless annoyance, which was extremely irrational and stupid behavior.

“Gather as much information about those people as possible during this time,” Guo Zhenghe said. “You may be able to use it in the future.”

“Oh, OK, Childe.”

Guo Zhenghe originally thought that this matter had come to an end. Very soon, something else happened.

Three people died. The inexplicable deaths were again caused by poison, which was similar to the previous poisonings.

Damn it!

After hearing this news, Guo Zhenghe broke the teacup in his hand.

“Damn those bastards!” Yang Guanfeng smoked five cigarettes after hearing the news.

“Who is it?”

More than one person was asking that question.

This case had aroused significant attention from county leaders.

In a small county, 19 people had abnormally died in less than a month, which was already a major case.

“I am very concerned about this matter!”

The secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the mayor specifically talked to Guo Zhenghe.

This was in part because of his background. If it happened to another person, he would have likely been fired straight away. What kind of leadership was considered a qualified leader? It was not how great the economic data was. First, it was based on stability and maintain that stability. If he could not even achieve the most basic stability in the place, the management was incompetent and unqualified. The leader would consider replacing him, which was also a stain on a person’s political career.

What was unstable? It was simple. It was considered frequent incidents, such as environmental pollution, safety production accidents, vicious accidents, and what was happening in He County. In less than a month, many abnormal deaths happened, which was considered frequent.

He needed to explain to his leaders, which was urgent.

People in this small county town were all worried about it. There had been many versions of the story.

“Boss, what did the leader say?”

“What else can they say?” Yang Guanfeng replied. “They asked us to continue our investigation and demanded that the case must be resolved within a month.”

“Isn’t it already solved?”

“If the suspect isn’t caught, the case won’t be solved,” Yang Guanfeng said. “I have told you that more than once.”

“How do we investigate it in such a vast mountain? It is like seeking a needle in the ocean if we want to look for a person there.”

“Well, I don’t know what to do either,” Yang Guanfeng said.

He thought, The wanted order has been issued, and the reward is very high. As my colleague said just now, in such a place with dense mountains and forests like southern Yunnan, as long as he did not want to be found, he could hide all his life.

How do we solve this?

“We don’t appreciate our difficulties!”

“OK, don’t say anything useless,” Yang Guanfeng said. “Think of a way quickly.”

“I can’t think of a way. It’s up to you, Boss!”

Yang Guanfeng lit another cigarette. Now he had nothing to do, and he couldn’t do anything.

Somewhere in He County…

“Childe?”

“Have you hear about anything?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“I have heard something about it,” Xu Xinyuan said. He was very surprised that those people were so distraught.

“What are they trying to do?”

“I don’t care what they want to do now. I want to know who they are,” Guo Zhenghe said. He was furious.

“We have to arrest them at all costs!”

“Childe, I immediately activated all the forces I can activate,” Xu Xinyuan hurriedly said.

“No matter what you need, tell me, even if you want to use the power of my family!”

“I understand.”

Xu Xinyuan left. The whole county, and even beyond to the city and province, started a massive undertaking to find the criminal.

Hundreds of miles away in the Valley of Thousands of Medicine…

“More deaths?”

“Yes, the way of death is the same as the previous two people. Three people died, and it happened just today.”

Miao Xihe closed the eyes and remained silent for a while.

“Who on earth is it?” he asked.

“Master?”

“What about taking advantage of the outside forces?” Miao Xihe asked. “I want to know who is so eager to cause trouble for the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. Was it caused by those who defected and escaped from the valley?”

“OK, I’ll go immediately,” Miao Qingfeng said.

“Wait, find those people and bring them all back,” Miao Xihe said.

“I understand.”

People at every level were suddenly taking action.

This small county seemed to be particularly lively.

In a mountain village thousands of miles away…

Inside the clinic, Wang Yao was giving an injection to an old man.

“Uncle, how have you been feeling lately?” Wang Yao asked.

“I feel much better. It doesn’t hurt anymore, and I feel more energetic. My appetite has been boosted. I can eat now, so it is much better than before.”
