Chapter 73: Investigating the Source

"What's wrong? What happened? Just tell me. Is there something wrong with this special medicine?"

Brother Hui shook his head. It wasn't because of that. "Your special medicine has no problems at all. No one has come to cause trouble. Plus, your special medicine is really effective and has saved many poor patients. Everyone can't thank you enough."

"It's just that a few days ago, someone from the military district suddenly came to me and found out that I was selling these special medicines."

"I didn't dare say you gave me these drugs, so I just made up an excuse to get away with it. But the new district should have noticed this. Do you think we should continue to sell these drugs? If the military district finds out, we might be fined."

Brother Hui certainly knew that Su Jinhui did this for the people, but it was precisely because of this that he did not want Su Jinhui to put herself in danger.

Su Jinhui fell silent, looking at the many people in the fishing boat coming to buy these special medicines. She also knew that if she continued to hide it like this, it would be of no benefit to her.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will resolve this matter."

After she left, at the same time, the superiors in the military region also contacted Yan Li'an as soon as possible.

"Li'an, there are some special medicines being sold on the black market recently, and many people are buying them there. I don't know the origins of these medicines. You should investigate them and make sure to find out the source, otherwise it would be bad for these people to take fake medicines."

This matter was serious, and Yan Li'an knew how much of an impact it would have on ordinary people if they took fake medicine. "I understand. When I go back today, I'll ask Su Jinhui if she knows anything about this matter."

In the evening, when Su Jinhui was getting off work from the hospital, she saw a familiar figure downstairs.

As she went downstairs, Yan Li'an turned around and met her eyes.

"Are you off work?"

Su Jinhui was the first to say hello. Yan Li'an nodded and walked side by side with her. "It's rare that I get off work early today, so I thought I'd try my luck at the hospital. I heard from your colleagues that you haven't left yet, so I'll wait for you downstairs. Do you mind?"

"Of course I don't mind."

The two of them were walking on the road, the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, making people envious.

"Today, my boss told me that there's a mysterious new supply of special-effect drugs on the black market. He's not sure where they came from, and he asked me to investigate. You're a doctor, so I wonder if you have any information about this matter?"

After hearing this, Su Jinhui's heart skipped a beat.

"Indeed, I have heard that I gave them these special medicines."

Yan Li'an looked surprised and stopped walking unconsciously. He looked at Su Jinhui cautiously, "Are you saying that you developed these special medicines and then sold them to Brother Hui and the others?"

Su Jinhui nodded, but she felt that Yan Li'an's reaction seemed a little strange, as if he was angry.

"I've personally tested these special medicines, and there shouldn't be any problems. Each special medicine treats a specific disease. I've written down the instructions and put them there. Patients can just buy them according to their needs. They're not expensive, only ten cents a pill, so I think most people can afford them."

But this is not what Yan Li'an cares about.

"Then have you ever thought about what you should do if these special medicines really go wrong?"

"If the military finds out that you are the source of these special medicines, have you ever considered that this matter might also involve me? When you do this, shouldn't you think carefully about it, or discuss it with me?"

"I don't know anything. If I hadn't asked you today, you wouldn't have told me this at all."

Su Jinhui pursed her lips, her face was stunned for a moment, indeed...

She seemed to have never thought about talking about this with Yan Li'an.

Silence is the best answer.

Yan Li'an put his hands on her shoulders and said, "Since we are husband and wife, we should share the same honor and disgrace. You should know this principle, right?"

"I hope you really treat me like one of your own. No matter what you decide to do in the future, you can discuss it with me. I won't refuse you everything. I also know that you are researching these special medicines for the local people. If you are doing good things, why don't you dare let me know?"

Su Jinhui met his eyes simply because she didn't think too much about it and was used to doing her own thing in her previous life.

Maybe she still can't get used to the fact that she is already married.

"I never thought about it that way. I did this without discussing it with you. It was wrong of me, but I never said I wanted to harm you."

"If you're worried about problems with these special medicines, or if you're worried that I might implicate you, even if something does happen, I'll take the full responsibility. I definitely won't implicate you."

Su Jinhui shook off his hand and returned home first.

Yan Li'an, who was standing behind her, stared at her departing figure and pursed his lips.

Did she misunderstand what she said?

After the two returned home, Su Jinhui began to prepare dinner.

During this time, she didn't have much to say to Yan Li'an. It was not until she finished cooking dinner that she said to Yan Li'an, "You eat first. I'll go to my room to write some things. Tomorrow I will go to your leader and confess everything."

"I won't get you into trouble."

Yan Li'an frowned and quickly grabbed her wrist, "Don't you want to eat?"

"You eat first, I'll eat after I'm done."

But Yan Li'an deliberately exerted too much strength, and no matter how hard Su Jinhui tried to shake him, she couldn't move him. Helplessly, she looked at Yan Li'an and asked, "Deputy Captain, what do you mean by this?"

Deputy head of the group?

What a great deputy leader.

"You want to cut off ties with me so quickly? If I'm really implicated, will you report to your superiors and file for divorce? Only then can you cut off ties with me?"

Yan Li'an was a little angry and pulled her in front of him. Their eyes met. Yan Li'an stared into her eyes and spoke word by word.

"Unfortunately, you already knew before you married me that military marriages cannot be divorced, only widowed!"

Su Jinhui was so angry that she laughed, "When did I ever say I wanted to apply for a divorce? Isn't all this just something you imagined?"

"I'll go find you tomorrow. Of course, the leader must tell them the truth and give them a perfect explanation so that it won't implicate you or me. Do you think I want to implicate you?"

"You're wrong. I'm not as great as you think. I'm also afraid of death. Besides, I've worked so hard to get to this point. How can I possibly give up?"

"I'm going to write a modified version of the ancient recipe and submit it to my superiors, who will then take it to the hospital for testing. As long as there are absolutely no problems with my recipe, they'll naturally be able to give me a break. Who knows, once the superiors see how effective these special medicines are, they might even want to work with me."

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm going to the room to write this divorce report?"
