Chapter 382 - 381: Deadly Poison
"Associate Professor Zhang has been dodging the issue, is there really no way to save General Zhou?" Beisitian wouldn’t be swayed.Zhang Man sneered coldly.
"I agree. If it can’t be cured, then why take up space? On this point, I share the same opinion as Associate Professor Zhang," Beisitian said with a smile.
Zhang Man looked slightly surprised, raising her eyebrows, not understanding what Beisitian was up to.
Tian Qinghui and Tian Qingyao’s expressions remained unchanged, but Tian Hezhen, on the other hand, looked slightly altered. Could this mysterious Mystic Doctor be on the same side as Zhang Man?
"If Associate Professor Zhang can’t do anything, then please leave. You’re hindering my diagnosis," Beisitian suddenly said coldly.
Du Kai Bo sighed. If anyone else had said this, it would have been ignored. But since Beisitian said it, it couldn’t be dismissed lightly. Zhang Man’s presence was of no real use, and if it indeed affected Beisitian’s diagnosis, the consequences would outweigh the benefits.
This kind of decision didn’t need upper management approval; Du Kai Bo knew what to do.
Zhang Man seemed to have heard a great joke and couldn’t help but laugh, "You want to drive me away? Who do you think you are? Can anyone from the Tian Family be so arrogant now?"
Beisitian smirked, "Tian Family, Tian Family, Associate Professor Zhang has no real abilities and isn’t very smart. What made you think I’m part of the Tian Family?"
This time, Tian Qingyao’s expression changed. Why did Beibei say that? Could it be she’s unwilling to acknowledge any connection with the Tian Family?
Tian Qinghui, beside him, nonchalantly nudged him with an elbow. Tian Qingyao quickly composed himself, realizing there had been a change.
Du Kai Bo knew that if this continued, Zhang Man would only be in more trouble. Even if trouble happened, it shouldn’t happen in front of him, as it would be embarrassing for him too. So, he stepped forward and said, "Associate Professor Zhang, surely the high frequency of your work has been tiring. Why not take some time off and rest?"
Zhang Man looked at Du Kai Bo incredulously, knowing that despite his polite words, he was essentially asking her to leave!
She couldn’t help but glance at Beisitian, wondering who exactly this yellow-haired girl was!
Afraid she might speak out of turn again, Du Kai Bo quickly added, "This lady is a doctor I spent considerable effort in finding, one of the personnel for this consultation."
He dared not reveal her as the Mystic Doctor, and that "one of the consultation personnel" was to mislead Zhang Man to avoid her spreading rumors or overthinking.
He and Beisitian were in the same boat; protecting Beisitian also meant safeguarding himself. Should he ever find himself in General Zhou’s position, he didn’t want it to last for two years, nor did he want to be doomed!
Du Kai Bo understood this well, so no one cared more about Beisitian’s safety and confidentiality than he did.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Man frowned. She wasn’t very clear about the existence of the Mystic Doctor but vaguely knew something, so Du Kai Bo’s words made her uneasy.
She felt both regretful and unwilling; this young girl was surely here to trap her. If she had been clear from the start, there would have been no confrontation. Instead, she had led her to believe she was just a small Chinese doctor from the Tian Family.
Zhang Man felt some regret, but her face remained proud. She looked at Du Kai Bo and asked, "Has Dean Du already made the decision?"
Du Kai Bo was also irritated by her arrogant question and responded coldly, "I’ve already taken full responsibility for General Zhou. Who stays and who leaves, I have it all figured out. Associate Professor Zhang, you should rest well."
Who did she think she was, thinking she still had a say?
As a genius, Zhang Man was unused to being humiliated like this, causing her face to flush red. She glanced angrily at Du Kai Bo and Beisitian before storming off.
Letting her leave now would make it hard for her to return later!
Zhang Man secretly vowed that one day they’d be the ones seeking her out.
With the nuisance Zhang Man gone, Beisitian sneakily winked at Tian Qinghui and Tian Qingyao before following Du Kai Bo to General Zhou’s ward.
Du Kai Bo didn’t notice Beisitian’s small gesture, but Tian Hezhen saw it clearly. He grabbed Tian Qinghui and asked quietly, "Does our Tian Family know that Mystic Doctor?"
Tian Qinghui slowly nodded. It wasn’t convenient to speak here, so he didn’t say much to Tian Hezhen, but just acknowledging it made Tian Hezhen very pleased—they knew a Mystic Doctor!
Everyone else was in the living room, only Du Kai Bo and Beisitian went inside.
Beisitian took out several small jars and placed them on the medicine table beside General Zhou’s bed.
Seeing these small jars, Du Kai Bo knew they contained talismanic water made by Beisitian. Not daring to interrupt, he watched silently from the side.
He had regretted not witnessing this the last time; he didn’t expect another opportunity to come so soon!
Beisitian poured the talismanic water from the small jars into the glass cups, then took a first drop of blood and placed it into the first cup. After ten minutes, the blood began to change.
The blood mixed with the talismanic water, yielding the same results as before, indicating the talismanic water had no effect.
Beisitian took another drop of blood for the second cup, waiting another ten minutes. The blood in the cup remained unchanged.
Beisitian continued testing each sample. Du Kai Bo carefully observed the changes in the talismanic water, his mind processing and analyzing through his own knowledge.
By the fourth cup, the sampled blood finally exhibited changes, but judging by Beisitian’s expression, she wasn’t satisfied and continued taking blood samples.
Mei Siyuan watched in confusion, having many questions but not knowing where to start.
It was the sixth cup where the blood underwent significant changes. Instead of dispersing, the blood coagulated into a ball, floating in the talismanic water while it slowly self-dissolved.
After twenty minutes, the blood had dissolved to the point that it was barely recognizable at the bottom of the talismanic water.
Du Kai Bo felt a rush of joy—this was a success!
However, when he looked at Beisitian, her face was initially joyful but then turned pensive.
"Doctor Bei, is this not usable?" Du Kai couldn’t resist asking.
Beisitian shook her head, "This talismanic water can counter the bad water, but as you saw, not a trace of the blood was left. If I were to give this talismanic water to General Zhou, it would dissolve the poisoned area, including his vital organs."
Du Kai Bo was stunned. Isn’t this more deadly than the bad water, reminiscent of the ’Bone Dissolving Powder’ from martial arts novels!
The Mystic Doctor was truly terrifying. The thought of such a comprehensive dissolving death method was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
