The Rolls-Royce sped, taking Lin Xiao Tian to Jiang City.
Lin Xiao Tian first went to the Fang Corporation with Steward Xu and handed over one hundred pills to Fang Wen Hua.
Looking at Fang Wen Hua again, Lin Xiao Tian could clearly feel that his complexion had improved significantly, indicating he had been taking the Gu Yuan Dan diligently.
"Xiao Tian, I've received the pills, and the company has already prepared the promotion. I believe we will sell very well this time," Fang Wen Hua said with full confidence.
As someone who had personally experienced the Gu Yuan Dan, he understood the value of this medicine too well. Once it entered the market, it would be in extremely high demand.
Fang Wen Hua also showed Lin Xiao Tian the advertisement designed by the company.
When Lin Xiao Tian saw the advertising slogan, he was stunned.
It read in bold characters:
"I... Can't Come Up With It!"
Initially, Lin Xiao Tian didn't quite grasp it, but after Fang Wen Hua's explanation, he suddenly understood.
As expected of a professional company, even the advertisement for an aphrodisiac was designed so subtly.
The two chatted further about the promotion of the pills, and then Fang Wen Hua suddenly asked about the treatment of Lin Li Wen last time.
"Xiao Tian, you mentioned last time that my wife was poisoned by Gu. How much do you know about this Gu poison?"
"This Gu poison is actually a form of witchcraft that uses poisonous insects to harm people. It's an ancient, mysterious, and terrifying form of witchcraft, primarily prevalent in the southern regions of China."
"The Compendium of Materia Medica records that a person creating Gu catches a hundred insects and puts them into a vessel. The larger insects eat the smaller ones, and the one large insect that survives in the vessel is called Gu."
"Gu was originally a medicine specifically for treating toxic sores, but later it was used to harm people—'Take a hundred insects into a jar. After a year, open it, and there will surely be one insect that has eaten all the others; this is called Gu.'"
Lin Xiao Tian spoke fluently.
Fang Wen Hua, listening before him, grew increasingly alarmed.
"So, this witchcraft is not natural. There must be someone who cast the Gu?"
Lin Xiao Tian nodded, neither confirming nor denying.
Fang Wen Hua pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, what is your confidence in treating Gu poison?"
"There are many types of Gu poison. If it's just like the one last time, as long as it's discovered in time, I am confident I can cure it easily. But I fear the case where the other party uses a 'dark Gu'."
"Dark Gu? What's special about it?"
"The biggest difference between dark Gu and ordinary Gu is that dark Gu is much harder to detect. Take the last case, for example, Mrs. Lin showed symptoms of high fever and unconsciousness. But if it's dark Gu, there are basically no major symptoms in the early stages. However, once the incubation period passes, the infected person will die instantly without any chance to react!"
Fang Wen Hua gasped in shock after hearing this.
"Xiao Tian, you seem to know a lot about Gu poison. Which organization do you think would employ such methods?"
"It's hard to say. The medium-level Gu poison that Mrs. Lin suffered from can be accomplished by any experienced Gu master. However, generally speaking, for a Gu master to cast Gu, the closer they are to the target, the better." Lin Xiao Tian looked into Fang Wen Hua's eyes.
Fang Wen Hua immediately understood after hearing this.
"Xiao Tian, you must keep this a secret for me. I must thoroughly investigate the person who harmed my wife." Fang Wen Hua's gaze turned sinister, like a furious lion.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded, then said to Fang Wen Hua, "Mr. Fang, when you find the Gu master, don't act rashly. Gu masters have many self-destructive methods. You must subdue him. If you need my help, you can contact me anytime."
"Xiao Tian, thank you!" Fang Wen Hua looked at Lin Xiao Tian.
"Don't mention it." Lin Xiao Tian smiled.
They chatted for a while longer, and then Lin Xiao Tian, seeing that it was getting late, bid farewell to Fang Wen Hua.
After leaving Fang Corporation, Steward Xu drove Lin Xiao Tian to the National Medical Center.
Lin Xiao Tian felt a bit embarrassed about being chauffeured by Steward Xu every time and offered to walk, but Steward Xu decisively refused, citing that Lin Xiao Tian didn't have a car.
Thus, when the limited edition Rolls-Royce arrived at the National Medical Center, Lin Xiao Tian once again attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Xiao Tian had already informed Guo Lin Qing before coming, so as soon as he alighted, Guo Lin Qing came to greet him.
"Xiao Tian, I'll take you to the HR department for registration," Guo Lin Qing said with a smile, looking at Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian nodded and followed her.
Guo Lin Qing was very enthusiastic, introducing him to the clinic's operations along the way. Whenever they encountered doctors, she would introduce Lin Xiao Tian to them, which further deepened Lin Xiao Tian's good impression of her.
After Lin Xiao Tian signed the contract, Guo Lin Qing led him to the director's office.
Director Xu Qing He, upon learning of Lin Xiao Tian's arrival, rushed to his office as soon as he finished surgery. He then engaged in casual conversation with Lin Xiao Tian and also introduced him to the clinic's operations.
Lin Xiao Tian wanted to say that Guo Lin Qing had already explained everything, but seeing Xu Qing He's enthusiasm, he didn't say much. Guo Lin Qing, on the other hand, couldn't help but chuckle at Lin Xiao Tian's reaction, which left Xu Qing He puzzled.
After another period of conversation, Xu Qing He took Lin Xiao Tian to a consultation room and asked him to familiarize himself with the environment before starting work.
According to the contract, Lin Xiao Tian was required to work today, but for the following few days, he could choose whether to work or not.
Guo Lin Qing and Lin Xiao Tian were in the same Traditional Chinese Medicine department, so she also came to help Lin Xiao Tian learn how to use the clinic's computer system and how to call patients.
Once Lin Xiao Tian had learned enough, he decided to start working.
"I'll leave you to your work then, don't let me disturb you," Guo Lin Qing said to Lin Xiao Tian with a sweet smile.
However, she was stopped by Lin Xiao Tian just as she took a step.
"Wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?" Guo Lin Qing asked him.
"I'm starting work now, and aren't you also my patient? Please have a seat!" Lin Xiao Tian said in the tone Guo Lin Qing had taught him.
Guo Lin Qing was taken aback, "Now?"
"Why not?" Lin Xiao Tian retorted.
Guo Lin Qing hesitated for a moment. She wasn't ready yet! After all, Lin Xiao Tian's acupuncture treatment required disrobing!
"Do you have any concerns?" Lin Xiao Tian asked.
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's calm expression, Guo Lin Qing stamped her foot in frustration. Was this guy genuinely oblivious or pretending?
"Alright, if you're not ready, then we'll do it next time! However, I advise you to seek treatment as soon as possible. This condition cannot be delayed." Lin Xiao Tian said earnestly.
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian's seriousness, Guo Lin Qing thought that since she had already decided to let him treat her, what difference did it make whether it was now or later.
"Okay... then... let's begin!" Guo Lin Qing took a deep breath.
"Mm!" Lin Xiao Tian nodded, "Take off your top, I need to start needling."
Guo Lin Qing's cheeks flushed crimson, but in the end, she obediently took off her top.
"You need to take off your bra too," Lin Xiao Tian reminded.
"Okay..." Guo Lin Qing's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
She was wearing a red dress today. After taking off her bra, she had to hold onto her dress, otherwise, if the dress fell to the floor, it would be equivalent to Lin Xiao Tian seeing her completely.
Looking at Guo Lin Qing, who was like a partially peeled lychee, any ordinary person would have gone crazy by now.
Guo Lin Qing's ample assets, paired with her willow-like slender waist and a beauty rating of over ninety percent, would have been irresistible if Lin Xiao Tian wasn't treating her at that moment.
The two sat facing each other. Lin Xiao Tian's technique was skilled, always hitting the acupoints accurately, and his expression remained calm. In contrast, Guo Lin Qing appeared particularly nervous.
If this scene were known, the embarrassment would be beyond words.
Guo Lin Qing just wanted it to end quickly and then return to her office without anyone knowing.
But what she feared most was what happened next.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the doorway:
"Lin Xiao Tian, are you inside?"
Guo Lin Qing froze.
She recognized this voice, of course. It was her good best friend—Xia Qing Ling!
