Chapter 148 is no ordinary person.
"When we go to the pharmacy later, can you pretend to be mute?"
Du Ruoxia didn't scold him or even reprimand him, but she successfully shut him up.
When Du Ruoxia went in, Xia Zuming had already organized all the medicinal herbs according to the list.
"The medicinal herbs I need are all here. Please help me carry them away."
Zhao Jiajun stared in shock at the pile of medicinal herbs on the ground. Although they weren't very heavy, the quantity was indeed quite large.
The medicinal herbs were all packed in black bags, so you couldn't see what was inside.
Zhao Jiajun sniffed, but could only smell the fragrance of medicinal herbs.
He originally wanted to continue asking questions, indulging his talkative nature, but Du Ruoxia gave him a faint look.
Zhao Jiajun immediately shut his mouth and obediently picked up the heaviest bags.
It was quite heavy to carry; he was a little unsteady on his feet when he first picked it up.
However, he quickly straightened his back, as if he couldn't feel the weight at all, and carried the things out.
Zhao Jiajun walked very fast, while Du Ruoxia carried two bags of light but valuable medicinal herbs and followed slowly behind him.
There are still a few bags of medicinal herbs left, and Du Ruoxia plans to come and pick them up later.
Unexpectedly, Xia Zuming directly helped carry them and followed behind them.
"Aren't you going to take care of your shop? Aren't you afraid someone will break in and steal things?"
"It's alright, the security here is very good, and all the valuable medicinal herbs are locked up. Even if someone comes to steal something, there's nothing of value in the shop."
Xia Zuming's words were so logical that Du Ruoxia was unable to refute them for a moment.
Zhao Jiajun opened the trunk of the car and put bags of medicinal herbs inside.
Some of the dried herbs were very fluffy, and the entire trunk was filled with them.
Zhao Jiajun got into the car, and Du Ruoxia opened the car door to get in, then gave Xia Zuming a word of advice.
"After that person wakes up, remember to make him pay you for the surgery. When I come back next time, I'll ask you for the money directly."
Xia Zuming had already walked quite a distance when he heard these words and immediately stumbled.
If he hadn't seen her perform surgery with his own eyes, and if he hadn't known that she was a highly skilled doctor, he would have really thought she was a money-grubber.
Xia Zuming turned around and gave her a deep look, then left with a resolute expression.
Du Ruoxia was a little confused by him, and couldn't help but give him a few more instructions.
"Remember to do what I told you to do. If that person doesn't pay, I'll come after you later!"
Du Ruoxia raised her voice, and Xia Zuming's steps became even more disordered as he walked back.
When he arrived at the store entrance, he touched his slightly aching forehead and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"He's still too young; he doesn't look like a miracle doctor at all."
After Du Ruoxia closed the car door, Zhao Jiajun turned around with a grin and asked.
"Sister-in-law, from what you're saying, does someone owe you money?"
Zhao Jiajun's eyes gleamed with gossip as he stared at her excitedly.
“Someone covered in blood just burst into the pharmacy, and I saved his life.”
Du Ruoxia spoke casually, but Zhao Jiajun's eyes widened in surprise.
"The troops are stationed nearby, and someone actually dares to kill someone in broad daylight. They're incredibly audacious!"
Zhao Jiajun's expression hardened, and his face showed anger.
"Does your sister-in-law know why that person was injured, and who injured them?"
It is clear that Zhao Jiajun is very interested in this matter.
"The man was still asleep when I left, so I didn't know his specific condition."
As soon as Du Ruoxia finished speaking, Zhao Jiajun slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.
"Why don't we go and check it out?"
"Leave the case-handling to the police. Why are you, a soldier, so interested in these things?"
The car stopped so abruptly that Du Ruoxia's head almost hit the seat in front of her.
"Maybe after I retire from the military I'll go work in the police station to handle cases, so I can still gain some experience now."
Zhao Jiajun parked the car where he was, looking as if he couldn't move.
He persisted in his pleading, and Du Ruoxia herself was also somewhat curious about the matter.
Despite his insistence, he finally relented.
"Then let's go take a look."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiajun was overjoyed. He immediately turned his car around on the road, stepped on the gas, and sped off back the way he came.
They first went to the Public Security Bureau and borrowed a police dog named Baca.
Then Zhao Jiajun parked the car at the intersection again. Before Du Ruoxia could get out of the car, Zhao Jiajun had already opened the car door for her.
"Sister-in-law, I'm a little nervous. This is my first time handling a case alone. I'm sure I'll succeed."
"You think too much."
It wasn't that Du Ruoxia was discouraging him, but rather that Zhao Jiajun's idea of success without any clues was simply wishful thinking.
The patient is still unconscious, so there's no way to provide them with any useful information.
Du Ruoxia originally thought that Zhao Jiajun would be helpless.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the location, he did not go to Xia Zuming's pharmacy immediately, but instead followed the bloodstains left by the patients.
"You stay here and continue your research. I'll go in and check if the patient has woken up."
"Alright! Okay!"
Zhao Jiajun was engrossed in his research and didn't want to be disturbed.
Du Ruoxia stepped into the pharmacy again, and Xia Zuming was quite surprised to see her return.
"Why are you back again? Did you feel the amount of medicinal herbs wasn't enough? Or did the car break down on the way?"
"No, I just want to see when my patient wakes up and pays back the money."
Xia Zuming, who was carefully taking stock of the medicinal herbs, almost collapsed to the ground upon hearing her words.
Can't you be serious for once?
"I'm very serious."
Du Ruoxia said in a serious tone, and then led Baka to the backyard with practiced ease.
Xia Zuming was speechless when he saw her enter the backyard once and now act as if it were her own home.
Even though it was their first meeting, he felt that this person was sensible and wouldn't lose anything even if he went into the backyard.
Du Ruoxia accurately located the patient from before and let Baka smell his scent.
"Baka, remember this smell. Find someone with this smell in the crowd later."
The patient's clothes were very appropriate and tasteful upon closer inspection.
This shows that this person is no ordinary person.
He was so young and dressed so elegantly, yet he was suddenly seriously injured. What was the other party's purpose?
The entire process, from the patient's arrival to the completion of the surgery, is not long.
Even though transporting the medicinal herbs took some time and involved driving the vehicle around, she trusted Baka's sense of smell.
Du Ruoxia guessed that the man was likely a medicinal herb merchant.
If she can get in touch with this person, she won't have to worry about her future career development.
Within a minute, Du Ruoxia's mind was racing.
Her move can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
It not only fulfilled Zhao Jiajun's dream of becoming a police officer, but also helped the patient lying in the hospital bed.
He already owes her a favor; if she finds the person who hurt him, he will owe her another favor.
With two favors combined, he could never repay them in his lifetime.
Baka circled the man a few times, gently sniffing his scent.
After a while, it nodded at Du Ruoxia.
“Very good, Baka, let’s set off now.”
Du Ruoxia led the way, while Baka wagged his little tail and followed behind her like a little follower.
