I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 907 - 906: Launching the Counterattack

On the third day after Shi Jianwen and the others had left, the matter was finally exposed when one of the women noticed their disappearance and immediately reported it to the woman responsible in the village.This woman didn’t report it immediately, as she had witnessed Qing Yan’s ruthlessness, fearing that Qing Yan’s people would blame her for inefficiency, not wanting to take responsibility. She thought it would be best if people could be quietly found without fuss.

The woman didn’t understand what the Shi Family members were up to by leaving the village when they needed weekly medicine to alleviate the pain of the rotten water, or perhaps those three would return within a week?

The organization sends people twice a week to patrol, so it’s impossible that it wouldn’t be noticed.

The woman’s surname was Su, with Mrs. Zhou and Ms. Feng as her right-hand women. The three of them led a group of women vigorously towards Shi Zhongli’s house, giving off an aura of righteous anger.

The Shi Family members immediately came out to check upon hearing the commotion and quickly walked towards the direction they were headed.

The reason these women dared not be messed with was because Qing Yan’s people would distribute the medication to alleviate the rotten water’s effects to them. These women would give it on time when happy, or delay a day or two when not.

Those who had experienced the excruciating pain of rotten water knew how terrifying it was and absolutely did not want a second encounter, hence they dared not provoke these women, often frustrated but not daring to express it.

Su arrived at the Third Elder’s door, and the Third Elder had leisurely walked out, with Shi Jiantong standing beside him.

Seeing the situation, Shi Jiantong knew today wouldn’t be easily resolved, but the other side hadn’t evidently reported the matter to higher-ups, giving them a sliver of opportunity.

Shi Jiantong sighed; if things didn’t go well today, they might have to tie up all these women. Their numbers and strength didn’t favor them, and even the medication to alleviate the rotten water would be ineffective.

However, the Shi Family had never thought of proactively controlling them because they had to send signals daily through special means to report village conditions. If everything is fine, there’s no problem, but missing a day or sending a strange signal, Qing Yan would immediately send people.

The consequences ranged from regaining control lightly to exterminating the entire village’s blood bank heavily. They preferred to spend resources to capture rather than reveal secrets.

The Shi Family had observed the signal-sending method for over a month but couldn’t discern anything, hence didn’t dare easily control these women, but today’s matter might cause a change.

"Have those three return, and we’ll all be fine. Everyone gets along; once tonight is over, I’ll risk it all and report up top, but delaying isn’t an option for anyone!" Su stated, standing at the door, a shrewish demeanor, speaking bluntly and determinedly.

Shi Zhongli in the courtyard sighed, saying: "My three kids are quite wild. How about we send someone searching for them? Maybe they got lost in the mountains."

Su wouldn’t listen to such fabrications, one hand on her waist, the other finger pointing at Shi Zhongli, cursing: "If the old bugger keeps babbling, I’ll find someone to slap you. At your age, getting slapped in front of youngsters, how would you live, huh? Speak, where did they go!"

Shi Zhongli deeply inhaled; he didn’t want to bicker with this village shrew but honestly felt like smacking her with his cane!

The Shi Family saw this wild woman insulting the Third Elder, their faces grim, fists clenched, eyes on Shi Jiantong, waiting for his command to apprehend these damned wild women.

Some had patience, while others didn’t, with a foot stepping forward only to be pulled back by nearby people.

Su asked no questions, but leading the women in the village, she was perceptive enough, observing how these Shi Family members usually behaved meekly. A bad suspicion formed in her heart but seemed improbable.

Su sneered, "Oh, daring to resist, huh? Remember those stepping out earlier, especially those few young ones over there. Next medicine distribution, delay by two days!"

Su spoke authoritatively, sneaking a glance at the third generation Shi Family members she pointed out, seeing disdain and mockery flashing across their faces, knowing things were going south.

Her thoughts raced, maintaining a proud demeanor while pointing at the Shi Family members, saying: "Don’t think I can’t find them if you don’t speak! Just wait and see, when found, you’ll pay! This time’s medicine won’t be easy to attain! You few, stay here and keep an eye on them!"

Finished speaking, Su led Mrs. Zhou and Ms. Feng back, accelerating her pace, needing to report quickly.

After several steps, Su halted, followed by the women behind her, seeing a youth standing coldly in the middle of the road.

"All gathered here, convenient indeed." Xing Jun looked at the women, his expression extremely cold.

His words made Su’s face change.

Shi Jiantong seeing Xing Jun, his eyes subtly shifting, knowing Xing Jun was the informant last time, but rarely having direct dealings with the youth, who acted aloof in encounters, a difficult child to interact with.

Su’s face was sinister, "Brat, what are you saying!"

Xing Jun calmly replied: "Are you deaf? Although Sister Bei said you’re coerced, there’s really no way to feel even a hint of sympathy for you."

Shi Jiantong stepped forward, asking, "The Sister Bei you referred to, is she Beisitian?!"

Xing Jun glanced at him, nodding, "Qingyu’s people and Hawkeye’s people are arriving soon; these women should be captured."

He uttered Qingyu and Hawkeye terms, convincing Shi Jiantong substantially, having already planned to do so; those wild women had seen through them.

"Capture them all!" Shi Jiantong commanded, leaving no hesitation, nearly twenty men swarmed, against ten women easily subdued.

Amidst successive screams and curses, Shi Family members retaliated harshly, beating the women black and blue, sparing their lives.

Soon all the women were controlled, left to bask in the midday sun on the road.

Shi Jianbin’s eyes had recovered, having stayed low to avoid detection; now opening them, his clear gaze surprised many Shi Family members, though mostly delighted.

Just as Shi Jiantong was about to approach Xing Jun for inquiries, rumbling sounds suddenly emerged from outside, indicating something was approaching.
