Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 674 - Poison Recipe

"That's great, that's really a great news!" Pengzhan couldn't hold back his excitement when he heard Lin Yi and wanted to charge right into the surgery room but was immediately stopped by Lin Yi. Although, Pengzhan was Mengyao's father, she was a grown up now. It wasn't so appropriate for him to see his daughter naked! And most importantly, if Pengzhan went in now, then Lin Yi's secret would be exposed as well- seeing his daughter in the nude.

"Uncle Chu, please slow down first. Yaoyao is in a poor condition, why don't we wait for her here?" Lin Yi said.

"My apologies, excuse me for being inconsiderate!" Pengzhan nodded and stopped his movement.

"Miracle doctor, have you treated Chu Mengyao? Can you please come and visit our child over here?"

"Yeah, Miracle doctor, I beg of you, can you please save our children now?"

The parents were delighted to hear the news after eavesdropping on Lin Yi's conversation with Pengzhan. They didn't dare to interrupt their conversation earlier, afraid that it might piss off Lin Yi and make him reject their requests. They finally had the courage to open their mouths as soon as Lin Yi was done with Pengzhan.

Lin Yi looked into the eyes of the parents, he could understand their feelings, but he really didn't have the time to do acupuncture for them one by one. First of all, he was exhausted. Second, they were female students as well. They weren't even acquaintances, asking each of them to take off their clothes was too much, wasn't it?

Besides, Lin Yi didn't want to shower in pee again! He didn't have any ill feelings towards the Miss' pee but it was hard to say for the others.

"I'll definitely save them, but I've just used up all the antidote, will discuss this with Grandpa Guan in making the new ones," Lin Yi turned to Xuemin after talking to the parents. "Grandpa Guan, let's go to a place with fewer people."

Lin Yi's words were half false half true, this made the parents doubt him a little. The parents were over the moon when Lin Yi said that he was willing to lend a hand but when he said that the antidote was used up, they couldn't help but get worried over the situation. However, since Lin Yi had promised to make the antidote, hopefully, it wasn't a lie!

"Fantastic!" Xuemin was on cloud nine- it seemed like Lin Yi must have learnt of a way to counter this problem but saying it out here wasn't too fitting.

Lin Yi and Xuemin returned to the isolation room where Mengyao was, he locked the door and said to Xuemin, "Indeed, it is a type of thousand year poison called "The Deadly Seven Herbs Poison." The making of this antidote was lost since the Ming Dynasty, but during the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Tangs recollected the data and remade a brand new antidote. Although the new antidote isn't as effective as the old one, by using a larger dose, it can remove the toxin completely within three days. After the detoxification and with a month of resting and adjusting, anyone can get back to full recovery."

Lin Yi didn't care to bullshit and went straight to the point.

"Oh? Deadly Seven Herbs Poison!" Xuemin eyes widened, flabbergasted at what he heard, "There are still people in the world who know how to make this poison?"

As far as Xuemin was concerned, the Deadly Seven Herbs Poison was a legendary existence, not only did the antidote lost its way to the modern era, the recipe of the poison was long gone as well, it wasn't recorded at all! But how did Lin Yi know this poison recipe and even the antidote?

"Ke, common people are clueless but not those ancient medical noble houses, they would definitely have at least a clue or so," Lin Yi replied lightly. "At least for the antidote, I'm certain that they are ignorant of it.

Xuemin was moved after listening to Lin Yi. "We, are we hand-making the antidote now?"

"En, I'll write down the poison and antidote recipe for you later," Lin Yi continued, "Hand the poison recipe to the police but let's not spread the antidote recipe anymore! You've to go pick up the herbs personally and go to Fatty Lai's drug manufacturing factory for refinement. If it's possible, try to have the antidote created before tomorrow morning, the students can at least endure until tomorrow night, but if it's any further than that, it's unpredictable!"

Xuemin couldn't believe that Lin Yi just passed the poison and antidote recipe to him just like this- he was overwhelmed by this unexpected favour! How much trust did he have in him! Having the Deadly Seven Herbs Poison recipe alone was considered rare already, but Lin Yi had the whole set of both the poison and antidote- this was a priceless gem in the medical world!

"Okay, I'll make sure everything goes well!" Xuemin nodded earnestly.

"This is a golden opportunity to publicize the company, can you talk to Fatty Lai about this, see if he has any brilliant ideas!" Lin Yi wanted to use this sensationalism to publicize Miracle Doctor Guan Medicine Company's name, but he was not an expert in this field.

"Hehe, I'm pretty sure Fatty Lai will do an excellent job with that, I'll talk to him later!" Miracle Doctor Guan nodded.

Lin Yi didn't continue and started scribbling down the recipe, passed it to Xuemin and immediately left the room. Mengyao and Yushu, on the other hand, were out of the surgery room already, and talking to Pengzhan. Mengyao seemed to be in a good shape, she was perfectly fine.

When Mengyao saw Lin Yi, she gave him the cold shoulder and ignored him completely.

Mengyao was feeling rather guilty inside- she'd wanted to show her gratitude by saying "thank you" properly, but the words just couldn't come out! She could overlook Lin Yi seeing her naked and touching her but she couldn't ignore the fact that she made Lin Yi drenched in her pee, how could she just act like nothing happened between them?

She was pretty conflicted inside- she couldn't accept herself for doing that.

Lin Yi was able to tell what was in the Miss' mind, so he avoided interacting with her to save her from the awkwardness. Yushu, on the other hand, was hyped as usual, complimenting how incredible Lin Yi was and how Mengyao had toughed things out.

However, Yushu wasn't a person who would show her other side to everyone- she didn't even mention a word about Mengyao being naked and Lin Yi who was soaked in her pee.

"Lil' Yi, thank goodness we have you this time!" Pengzhan was slightly overactive when he saw Lin Yi walking towards their direction, he patted his shoulder emotionally, "If it wasn't you…. Mengyao wouldn't have…."

"Ke, Uncle Chu, this is what I should do," Lin Yi smiled humbly- he wasn't trying to claim any credits out of this, "Besides, I never thought of Yaoyao as an outsider."

"Nice!" Pengzhan nodded, "That being the case, Lil' Yi, you are officially part of the House Chu now, half of my business is now yours!"

The crowd was flabbergasted by the statement! They couldn't believe what Pengzhan had just said! They thought that Pengzhan must have taken an immediate liking to Lin Yi after he saved his precious daughter's life.

Mengyao was stunned as she looked at her father- she never saw this coming. She did not know that her dad would just give half of his property just like that! Mengyao however, did not feel that irritated by the idea, perhaps because the person was Lin Yi. She knew that he was worthy of the reward... but why, why was her dad being so nice to him?
