“No, but her eyes can’t lie,” Su Xiaoxue said. “Sir, didn’t you say they are people with stories?”

“It’s not just a simple story,” Wang Yao replied. “It’s quite an interesting story. If it were to be written into a novel or made into a movie, it would probably be a big hit.”

“Is that so?” Su Xiaoxue asked. “Tell me about it.”

“The two of them are actually killers,” Wang Yao said.

“What?” Su Xiaoxue was stunned. “Are you serious, Sir?”

“Of course I am,” Wang Yao said with a smile. “I guessed that you would not believe it. Listen to me carefully.”

He told Su Xiaoxue all about them and the special company they had worked for.

“My god!” Su Xiaoxue’s eyes were open wide. She had not expected such things or an organization like that to exist in the world. She thought those things only existed in novels and movies and were just fictional stories.

“Isn’t the world interesting?” Wang Yao asked.

“Did they really kill people?” she asked.

“Yes, and probably more than one person,” Wang Yao replied.

He knew about the composition of that company from Zhong Liuchuan. The so-called directors were the ones with the most capabilities. How could the others determine their capabilities? An important standard would probably be their once brilliant “performance” of killing people.

“So, they are criminals,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“They are indeed,” Wang Yao said. “They committed grave crimes where just shooting them to death once would not be enough.”

No one could guarantee that the people they had killed were villains who needed to be killed. They would certainly injure the innocent, such as Su Xiaoxue. Therefore, what they had done was strictly inexcusable.

“They don’t look like it,” Su Xiaoxue said after remaining silent for a long time.

To be honest, her first impressions of Jia Zizai and Hu Mei were that they were good people. She hadn’t expected that their hands would be covered with blood.

“Villains never mark their evilness on their faces,” Wang Yao said. “On the contrary, most of them either look normal or gentle. It is easy for them to confuse people.”

“Sir, did you hear it from them?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“Sir, have you thought of calling the police?” Su Xiaoxue asked

She had been a flower in a greenhouse since she was a child. She was the apple of everyone’s eye at home, protected and loved. An ivory tower was a relatively pure place. Most of the dark side of society had not infiltrated it. It was the same for her mind. She had never been exposed to the dark things in the world until now.

“Call the police to expose them?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yes,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Ha-ha, to be honest, I thought about it, but I decided not to,” Wang Yao said.

“Why?” she asked

“What do you think of Liuchuan?” Wang Yao asked.

“Good, he’s pretty nice,” Su Xiaoxue said.

She had talked to the man, who was about 30 years old, twice. He was very gentle. He was like the big brother next door and had a kind of refined temperament. She also knew that he had accepted Wang Yao as his teacher and studied kung fu with him. He was considered Wang Yao’s second disciple.

“Is he one too?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Are you surprised?” Wang Yao asked.

“Extremely surprised,” Su Xiaoxue said. “Has he killed people before too?”

“Yes, he admitted it himself, but he is different from Jia Zizai and Hu Mei in nature,” Wang Yao said.

“Shall we just let this matter go, Sir?” Su Xiaoxue suggested.

“Let it go without pursuing it?” Wang Yao asked.

“Let’s not pursue it anymore,” Su Xiaoxue said. “I’m very happy now. I don’t want to think about those unhappy things anymore.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Wang Yao replied.

Although that was what she said, he knew Su Xiaoxue still cared about that matter. She just did not want to affect his life because of it. He could still let Hu Mei off temporarily, but the man nicknamed Poison Master could never be let off.

“Sir?” A man’s voice came from outside.

“Come in, please,” Wang Yao said.

Zhou Xiong came in from outside.

“I’m here to get the medicine, Sir,” he said.

“Oh, I forgot about that matter,” Wang Yao said.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxue had not come out of the clinic after going in, Zhong Xiong waited for quite some time before going in.

“The usage of this medicine is the same as the regathering soup, which can be continued as well,” Wang Yao said.

“I have remembered it, Sir,” Zhong Xiong said.

It was October. The autumn wind was cool.

It was a big day. It was the day Wang Yao’s sister got married.

The family got up early in the morning. They were all ready. Many people in the village had come to help. When it came to such occasions, the villagers were willing to come, have fun, and get some good luck. Wang Fenghua and Zhang Xiuying both had a good reputation in the village, so people were willing to come help. Most people in the village had gone to find Wang Yao for treatments. He basically had not accepted their money, so their reputation was extremely good.

It was bright and sunny, an auspicious day and time.

Crackling firecrackers sounded.

The bridal procession came to the village.

Words of happiness were shared. The bride was to be married off.

Du Mingyang was elated.

Several glasses of alcohol were toasted to the two elders to thank them for nurturing and bringing up the bride.

Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue were standing at the side, holding their hands tightly together.

Su Xiaoxue gave Wang Ru a present.

It was a beautiful sapphire necklace. It was very valuable.

It was planned to marry the bride off in the morning and have a wedding banquet at noon.

Wang Yao didn’t tell his friends about it, but they had somehow gotten news of it and came.

Wang Mingbao, Wei Hai, Tian Yuantu, Pan Jun, Li Maoshuang, and Sun Yunsheng were all there. There had never been so many cars in this village, and they were all good cars. The village was busy.

“Ah, Fenghua’s family is marrying off their daughter in style!”

The village cared about face a lot.

“Yes, I wonder how much it will cost!”

“They only have that one daughter, so they’ll be willing to spend no matter the amount!”

“Let’s go and have some of the wedding banquet food.”

At noon, the family went to Lianshan county to attend the wedding banquet. Wang Yao’s friends followed along. It was hard for everyone to get together. Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue were busy rushing around helping out. They did not have time to sit down with them.

“Are you getting married soon as well, Sir?” Wei Hai asked.

“Yes, it should be soon,” Wang Yao replied.

“No matter who gets the news, we must inform everyone in time,” Wei Hai said.

“Yes, don’t forget about it,” another friend said.

Some of them exchanged contact information with each other. Those who already had the contact information confirmed it.

This wedding was lively and festive. Everyone was very happy.

That was enough.

In the afternoon, after Wang Yao had finished helping his family, he finally had the time to get together with friends. They gathered in Wang Yao’s clinic under the acacia tree with a pot of tea.

“Da Hong Pao!” Sun Yunsheng was a man who knew the good stuff because he once drank that kind of tea.

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

“The few trees on Wuyi Mountain?” Tian Yuantu asked.

“Yes, it is from Xiaoxue’s older brother,” Wang Yao said.

“Oh, it’s good,” Wei Hai said. “You can’t necessarily buy it even if you have the money.”

There were only a few camellia trees, so they did not produce much tea in a year. That was certain no matter who tried to get them.

“Sir’s house is filled with treasures indeed!”

“When are you preparing to get married, Sir?”

“I have already promised Xiaoxue that we will get married after she finishes college,” Wang Yao said.

“Which year is she in now?”

“She’s in her third year this year,” Wang Yao said. “She got delayed because of her illness.”

“So, will she graduate the year after next year?”

“Yes,” Wang Yao replied.

“Do remember to let us know.”

“Yes,” Wang Yao said.

…

Su family residence, thousands of miles away…

“Auntie,” a woman said. She had a good face, but it was a little pale. She had a graceful figure with a slightly bulging abdomen that showed she was pregnant.

“How far along are you?” Song Ruiping asked.

“Four months,” the woman said.

“Why don’t you listen to advice?” Song Ruiping sullenly asked.

“Auntie, I want to try again. I want a child.” The woman’s voice was gentle like the wind in May.

“You want to try again? Don’t you know your own body’s situation?” Song Ruiping looked at the woman with sympathy.

“I have come to beg you,” the woman said.

“What do you want?” Song Ruiping asked. “Just say it.”

“Auntie, I heard that you know a doctor who is very skilled in medicine and can cure an illness as serious as Xiaoxue’s,” the woman said. “In your opinion, do you think you can introduce me to him?”

“Alright, I’ll ask him for you.” Song Ruiping already knew the woman’s intentions.

“Thank you so much,” the woman said.

“I’ll ask him for you, but whether he agrees or not is another matter,” Song Ruiping said. “His medical skills are really excellent, but he has a strange temperament.”

“I know,” the woman said. “It doesn’t matter. As long as he agrees, I can even go there.”
