Chapter 974: Keep A Respectful Distance

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After saying a few words to Elder Wu, Zheng Ren took his leave and went to the ward to see the patients.

The six patients were diagnosed correctly and in good condition. They were very suitable for surgery.

Zheng Ren estimated the time of the surgery and asked Mu Tao to book a plane ticket back to the Imperial Capital the next afternoon. He then informed Elder Wu and prepared to return to the hotel to rest.

When he arrived downstairs, Zheng Ren saw the person he had just seen in Elder Wu’s office, the girl who was about twenty years, waiting at the entrance of the Inpatient Department.

Zheng Ren pretended not to see them and chatted and laughed with Su Yun as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, a few black shadows appeared in front of him. One of them used his arm to block Zheng Ren’s path.

Su Yun’s straight eyebrows shot up. He looked at the person from the corner of his eyes and said to Zheng Ren, “I think I can only fight one person. I’ve practiced before.”

Zheng Ren smiled. Su Yun’s way of thinking was really strange. He wanted to fight to solve everything. He was really a hot-blooded young man.

“Mr. Zheng, right?” The girl immediately came to Zheng Ren’s side and asked with a frown, “My name is Zou Yu. Please advise me.”

“What’s the matter?” Zheng Ren asked.

“My father will be here soon. I need to trouble you to take a look.”

“Me?” Zheng Ren was surprised.

“Dr. Smith of the Mayo Clinic recommended you...” Zou Yu was not sure herself. She paused for a moment.

“Oh, I don’t know anyone from the Mayo Clinic.” Zheng Ren smiled. “I have something to do here. Please excuse me.”

A look of disbelief appeared on Zou Yu’s face. She looked at Zheng Ren in confusion, as if she did not hear what Zheng Ren was saying.

“Are you sure you are talking to me?” Zou Yu looked at Zheng Ren and said proudly.

“Hmm? Are you trying to restrict my personal freedom?” Zheng Ren was also a little puzzled and asked.

“You...” Zou Yu’s pretty face turned cold. Just as she was about to flare up, her assistant gently nudged Zou Yu from behind and whispered a few words into her ear.

Zou Yu’s expression kept changing. She frowned slightly and looked at Zheng Ren in disbelief.

Zheng Ren did not know what had happened, but Zheng Ren really did not want to touch anything related to voodoo. Although the System mission reminded him that voodoo was in quotation marks, in the mission description, the words that could not be explained by the current technology. It only served to remind Zheng Ren of the complexity of the disease.

Moreover, from a certain point of view, the Mr. Zou that he had not met was not his patient, so Zheng Ren naturally would not rush to cause trouble.

“Mr. Zheng, please forgive me for my words earlier.” Zou Yu’s expression was very ugly, but she still spoke patiently.

Her fair neck was slightly flushed, as if when she was angry, her blood pressure rose, causing her capillaries to fill up.

“It’s okay. I’m going back to rest.” Zheng Ren smiled slightly, bypassing the group and leaving with Su Yun and the Professor.

Mu Tao said apologetically, “Boss Zheng, sorry to trouble you.”

“It has nothing to do with you,” Zheng Ren said.

“Sigh.” Mu Tao thought about it, but still felt that it was troublesome. He started the car and left with Zheng Ren.

“Boss, have you encountered voodoo before?” Su Yun asked.

“No. I’ve read it in a book. The clearest record is from the records of calligrapher Chen Guojun in 1916 at the end of the Qing Dynasty. His servant was poisoned by voodoo, but the symptoms described are different from Mr. Zou’s symptoms,” Zheng Ren said.

“I think it’s nonsense too,” Su Yun said. “The Gu characters in the oracle bone inscriptions are like a container with many insects. According to the hieroglyph, it is indeed so.”

“The ‘Zuo Zhuan’ says that the dish insect is a Gu, so it should be the same,” Mu Tao added.

Su Yun felt that it was more pleasant to talk to Mu Tao. Smart people say that it was simple and easy to be concerned about.

“Old Mu, do you believe it?”

“I don’t believe it,” Mu Tao said seriously. “Although I don’t believe it, I stay away from it.”

“Then why are you taking money?”

“There isn’t much money in that card. It belongs to the professor’s consultation fee,” Mu Tao said. “You have to take the money that should be taken. Otherwise, that side will have other ideas.”

“I do believe in the existence of Gu poison,” Zheng Ren looked out of the window and said faintly.

“Boss, why are you still superstitious? It’s very rare.” Su Yun said, “In the future, shouldn’t we find an auspicious day before the surgery, like the family members of the woman who gave birth yesterday did?”

“Since ancient times, the prohibition of Gu poison has been in all kinds of laws.” Zheng Ren looked at Su Yun as if he was looking at a human problem, which made Su Yun feel a little uncomfortable.

“Han law, Tang law, Ming law, and Qing law all have them. I guess Gu poison was prevalent at that time. However, after the continuous suppression of the prohibition, they all went to the wilderness on the other side of the Nanyang. Therefore, now everyone only knows about Nanyang Gu poison.”

“Yes, in the ‘Shennong’s Book of Materia Medica’, there are 42 kinds of herbal formulas for Gu poison detoxification,” Mu Tao added.

“Who knows?” It was rare for Su Yun to not refute him. He was only fiddling with his phone, probably thinking about the comic-con tomorrow.

“Boss Zheng, this kind of thing is usually evil. We would rather believe it than not, so I think it’s better not to touch it,” Mu Tao said cautiously. “You are different from the teacher. The teacher is a doctor, and patients come, so it can’t be pushed out. But you are here for TIPS surgery, which has nothing to do with this.”

Zheng Ren nodded. Zheng Ren did not even think about the System mission.

Zheng Ren felt that it was not reliable to treat the voodoo poison for the sake of +1 reputation.

The patient’s test results were all fine. If it were not for the hint given by the System interface, Zheng Ren would have felt that he was hysterical or that a family ghost was causing trouble that had assassinated Mr. Zou for of the family property.

Soon, Mu Tao drove to the hotel.

Zheng Ren got out of the car and saw three cars parked at the entrance of the hotel. A man in his fifties looked honest. His hands were placed in front of him as if he was waiting for something.

Seeing Mu Tao drive in, he checked the license plate number. After Zheng Ren got out of the car, he came to the front and asked politely, “Are you Mr. Zheng?”

“I am.” Zheng Ren felt that this trip to Shenzhen City was really terrible. The more he wanted to stay away from trouble, the more this trouble would keep a close eye on him.

“Master Bu wants to see you. Please follow me, Mr. Zheng,” the man said.

It had to be one of the drivers for the Zou family. This was what Zheng Ren guessed.

“Sorry, I need to rest,” Zheng Ren said lightly. “If there’s anything, we can talk about it tomorrow morning.”

Therefore, Zheng Ren straightforwardly rejected the invitation of the driver.

Medical science as it was in the current era could not explain this disease. How would they treat it? It was more serious to reject it from the very beginning. Otherwise, Zheng Ren would feel that it would be very troublesome.

Holding his bag of toiletries, Zheng Ren bypassed the few luxury cars that looked especially luxurious, but he heard a hearty laughter behind him.

“Mr. Zheng, my daughter has offended you previously. Please forgive me.”

This was the right person. Zheng Ren felt a little helpless. He thought to himself that he should quickly reject him and then go upstairs to rest.

He turned around,

Zheng Ren was stunned.
