I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 888 - 887: Only Regret Not Being Born at the Right Time

Beisitian obtained the Shi Family’s blood, specifically Shi Jianbin’s. Why his alone? Because he was influenced by two kinds of bad water, making it more valuable for reference.If they can treat Shi Jianbin in passing, it will be a great advantage for any upcoming battles, as the ’Jian’ generation of the Shi Family is quite skilled with the fighting talismans.

Although there wasn’t direct communication between both parties, Beisitian felt that a basic trust could be established. If it were other families or sects, such trust might not be so easily formed.

The next day at noon, Beisitian suddenly felt that the dosage of bad water in the food had nearly doubled. She was startled but continued to discreetly blend the food into liquid and pour it away.

In the afternoon, around three o’clock, just as Beisitian had begun to make some progress in her research on the two kinds of bad water, she heard a loud noise outside, like the sound of an engine.

She stepped out of the house and saw two Jeeps parked in the middle of the village road. Six or seven men got out, all wearing black T-shirts with a teal flame embroidered on the left chest. Paired with black vests, they projected an overwhelming and stifling sense of oppression.

The symbol of the teal flame wasn’t unfamiliar; Beisitian looked at the two vehicles with curiosity.

After the seven or eight men got out, several women immediately led five children over. Although the distance wasn’t too far, they spoke in hushed tones, so nothing could be overheard.

There was no need for Beisitian to listen. Upon seeing the scene and the complex emotions of indignation and sadness on the Shi Family members’ faces, it wasn’t hard to guess what these children’s departure meant.

Among the crowd, Shi Jiantong’s gaze remained fixed on Beisitian, likely because he now knew she was no ordinary person. This time, he clearly noticed the cold anger flashing in her eyes.

Shi Jiantong felt somewhat reassured, thinking that if Beisitian had no reaction to the scene, that would be the truly frightening scenario, prompting the Shi Family to make plans for a second option quickly.

Beisitian noticed that once she came out and scanned the area, five discreet gazes were on her. Among them were certainly members of the Shi Family as well as some of the seven or eight men.

The women, seeing Beisitian’s curious expression but neither approaching rashly nor showing other emotions, nodded naturally.

Among the seven or eight men, a crew-cut man in his thirties stared at Beisitian for a while, his gaze being the most direct.

"Not bad, keep her around. We’ll probably need her next time. They’ve needed a lot of goods over there recently, and new goods have just been delivered too. Prepare five rooms," the crew-cut man told the women.

This time, because there was no deliberate lowering of his voice, both Beisitian and Shi Jianbin, who were nearby, heard it clearly. It was evident the other party no longer considered Beisitian a threat.

Beisitian blinked with a look of mere curiosity on her face, though inside, she felt cold. Goods?

The cars drove away quickly. Beisitian, following her usual habit, went into the forest, and no one stopped her. She had consumed so much bad water that even if a king arrived, its effects would be unavoidable, ensuring she would return.

This time, Beisitian carried a satellite phone into the mountains. Since she had been ’assimilated,’ it would be suspicious to test the windows or leave anything open, so she could only call from the mountains.

After Cheng Shuwei received the news, he immediately dispatched Hawkeye’s men to track them.

"Is everything okay?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Beisitian, giving her a fright. Turning back, she saw Wei Zhongyuan emerge from behind a tree.

"Why are you here?" Beisitian asked, looking around.

Wei Zhongyuan glanced at the lunch box in her hand, and Beisitian immediately understood; it was he who delivered the meals. But why hadn’t he left today?

"Nothing significant, things are going smoothly so far. Try not to approach this area; those people are very vigilant." Beisitian stuffed the remaining food into her mouth, smiled, and prepared to leave.

As Beisitian took a step, she felt a sudden tightness on her wrist. Turning back, she saw Wei Zhongyuan holding her wrist.

"Be careful; I’m nearby. If anything happens, remember to signal!"

It was rare to hear so many words from Wei Zhongyuan, causing Beisitian to smile. "Don’t worry, I’m very cautious about my life." Feeling the grip on her wrist loosen, she walked away without looking back.

Wei Zhongyuan watched her slender figure disappear into the forest and looked down at his hand, recalling the soft touch he felt, so real.

He was truly worried about Beisitian. Originally, no one agreed she should go on this task, but she insisted, and she was the only one who could find a solution to the bad water issue in the shortest time. She was the best choice.

Even though Wei Zhongyuan knew his presence was risky, he couldn’t sleep until he saw Beisitian safe.

Perhaps she didn’t need his protection because others were watching over her, but he was still willing to watch over silently from the side, to fill in when others couldn’t be there. No matter what, he couldn’t let her come to any harm.

He understood that this guardianship, this waiting, was destined to have no result, but he was willing, without regret.

"Just unfortunate timing," murmured Wei Zhongyuan, turning away.

After passing the information, Beisitian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Hopefully, Hawkeye’s men could find the source; if not... would they save those children?

Beisitian closed her eyes; she could only hope for the best.

The matter left her feeling rather uneasy.

As Beisitian passed by Shi Jianbin’s door, Shi Jianbin fell again for the Nth time, trying to give her a chance to take blood, but today it seemed Beisitian didn’t notice him and walked straight back to her room.

Shi Jianbin relied on listening, only standing up after hearing the door of the adjacent room close, realizing Beisitian really didn’t come to take blood. The feeling of being helped up by a goddess was quite delightful, making him fall especially hard.

Didn’t usually feel pain, so why does it hurt so much today?

"Hey, are you alright? Let me help you up."

Shi Jianbin twitched the corner of his mouth, "I can get up myself."

It was Shi Jianhua.

"Did you just step on the stool?"

"...I was practicing my balance."

Shi Jianhua glanced at Beisitian’s room and then followed Shi Jianbin inside. The women weren’t interested in the comings and goings of these two.

Perhaps stimulated by the sight of the children, Beisitian remained focused on researching the components of the bad water and remedies, finally making a breakthrough at around three in the morning.
