Chapter 83: Big Crisis of Encircling Xiao Chen
Although Xiao Chen had worked with a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a period of time, he mostly did logistical work and had never seen any scenes. He was frightened by those figures and screamed.
If Ye Xing was present, he would definitely recognize at a glance those people who deliberately wore masks and were dressed in black. They were some "old friends" from the Linshi Research Institute.
He would probably even complain a few words, wondering if these people had followed the wrong script and thought they were killers in night clothes.
Old Xu was naturally the first to speak. He looked up, not wanting to even glance at the other person: "Hey, kid, are you working under that young Chinese medicine doctor?"
The tone was very contemptuous.
At this time, Xiao Chen's mind also came to his senses. He realized who the person who suddenly appeared and blocked his way was, and he had a clear idea in his mind.
He heard from his boss that these people had a grudge against the boss, so it was best not to provoke them easily to avoid getting into trouble.
He didn't have the skills of his boss, nor the force of Qin, nor the equipment of the captain and his men, so the best option was to run away.
Xiao Chen turned around and tried to run without saying a word, but was blocked by several burly men.
Although the guards in the hospital were no match for acupuncture, they were more than capable of surrounding a powerless pharmacist.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xiao Chen quietly pressed the distress button in his pocket that the captain had given them, hoping that rescue would arrive.
This is the middle of nowhere, and there are no residential areas at the entrances to the city's highways. If something happens to him, there won't even be a witness.
"Answer my question!" Old Xu glared at Xiao Chen fiercely.
My neck feels a little sore from looking up for so long.
In fact, the people in Lin City had already used their own network to check everyone around the traditional Chinese medicine doctor. They knew Xiao Chen's identity and position, otherwise they would not have been able to locate him so accurately.
Old Xu just wanted to show off his power, after all, he would not get any good results in front of Ye Xing.
"I'm just a pharmacist," Xiao Chen said helplessly, "I can't do anything except prescribing medicine, and I only know a little about Chinese medicinal materials. I can't say anything in front of Chinese medicine practitioners."
He showed a somewhat innocent expression, trying to make the other party believe that he joined Chinese medicine because of the situation.
Besides, everyone knows who the only Chinese medicine practitioner currently "in business" is.
"Oh, do you think we are easy to fool?" Old Xu received the signal from the old dean and continued to put pressure on him. "I know very well that Qin entrusted you with the task of selecting important instruments. Who would believe you if you said you were just a marginal figure?"
He glanced at Xiao Ma, who read out the lines that had been rehearsed before in a dry voice: "Yes, you must be a person that Chinese medicine can trust."
Xiao Ma just wants to be a background quietly, who understands.
Xiao Chen was quite speechless. He followed the Chinese medicine doctor in the beginning simply because he could not find a job. He finally had the chance to earn some money but was exposed by the other party. Fortunately, the man gave him a way to be hired, otherwise he would most likely have been taken to the police station.
However, he was paid by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and could not compromise with local forces.
Besides, the boss treats him well, and he must not let the boss down.
"Tsk, how can you be so rude?" Old Xu looked at Xiao Chen, who seemed to be acting like a heroic character who was not afraid of the enemy's torture, and felt that the matter was becoming difficult.
They had investigated Xiao Chen's deeds thoroughly and thought that he was not a real Chinese medicine practitioner and could be easily threatened and used for their own purposes.
It is also said that the Chinese doctor had doubts about the pharmacist before, and the fragile employment relationship might not make the latter stand firmly in that camp.
"Young man," the old dean said personally when he saw that Old Xu was having trouble dealing with him, "Do you think that following that Chinese medicine doctor will give you a bright future? No, I have decades more experience in medicine than he does, and I know better what treatment requires. You should be a man who knows what's happening, right?"
The old dean had suffered several setbacks recently and had long since given up on his duties. Even his tone had softened a lot, and there was even a hint of "kindness" in his expression, but he was smiling behind his back.
Xiao Chen pretended to be thoughtful, and after a moment he shook his head: "Then I'm sorry to disappoint you. I have never listened to advice since I was a child, otherwise I wouldn't have ignored my family's dissuasion and studied medicine."
Even fewer people in his hometown seek medical treatment from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. If he had not been unable to find a suitable job locally, he would not have come to this city.
"How much did the Chinese medicine doctor give you?" Xiao Ma was pushed up by the old dean and said hesitantly, "We, we will give you, three, no, um, five times!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Chen tentatively, fearing that the other party would not be satisfied with the price he offered.
Xiao Chen looked around at the guards who had been trying to scare him at the beginning. Did they try to bribe him instead of intimidate him?
Why does this Linshi Research Institute seem less reliable than his boss?
He originally thought that using traditional Chinese medicine to treat zombies was a bit reckless, but now it seems that his boss's decision was the wisest.
The search team that switched to working with the boss was the most discerning.
The old dean's appearance of being very experienced can indeed intimidate people, but his words and deeds reveal a sense of unreality.
They say they have more prospects than their competitors, but they don't talk about their advantages in treatment technology. Instead, they focus on the fact that they have decades more experience than their competitors.
Even Xiao Chen noticed that something was wrong.
Come on, you just lived a few decades longer than your boss, but it's hard to say whether your medical skills are as good as your boss's.
I guess not.
You can only use your seniority to suppress others, it's not considered a real ability.
…
"Why hasn't Xiao Chen come back yet?" Ye Xuan looked at his phone. There was a signal, but the other party didn't even send a message. It was hard not to think that something had happened.
Xiao Qin saw the senior's worry and comforted him: "If there is any emergency, he will definitely contact us."
Just as Ye Xuan was about to nod, the alarm sounded.
This child, did what he just said come true?
"What happened?" Ye Xing saw the captain rushing over, and his target was obviously him.
"Xiao Chen is calling for help." The captain spoke concisely, but her slightly panicked expression showed that her heart was not as calm as her tone.
The hospital just "sent" a zombie in, and Xiao Chen happened to get into trouble again. It doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.
The people in the neighboring city are really impatient. The kidnapping has already been exposed by them, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves.
"Xiao Qin, you stay and take care of the patients." Ye Xuan knew that if it was really done by people from the Linshi Research Institute, then they would definitely be coming for him, and he would have to solve the problem.
"Okay, senior." Xiao Qin understood that the more tense the moment, the more people needed to be present in the treatment room. The enemy had already begun to act, and it was hard to say whether they were trying to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Ye Xuan checked the items in the medical box and jumped into the car. The captain stepped on the accelerator and the huge special vehicle sped out.
She was an excellent driver but the road conditions were bad. Vehicles abandoned by drivers on the road were like countless roadblocks. After dodging several times, the only passenger felt a little carsick.
"Well, I believe Xiao Chen can hold on for a while longer," Ye Xing said weakly, "but if this continues, I will be the first to collapse."
The captain didn't have time to deal with him. After narrowly avoiding a truck again, he said, "Can't you just give yourself a shot?"
Ye Xuan originally wanted to make a joke that "a doctor should not treat himself", but he was worried about causing a traffic accident, so he shut up and treated himself.
He gave himself the acupuncture very quickly and it didn't hurt.
As a holographic game, "Dream Travel" has certainly put a lot of effort into the sensory aspect, and the pain sensation has also been appropriately adjusted. Logically speaking, the feeling of needle pricks should still be there.
This is one of the reasons why so many people are afraid of his acupuncture.
After Ye Xuan finished acupuncture on himself, he exhaled a breath and indeed felt a lot better. The effect was immediate after one injection.
I really don't know why those two research institutes look down on him and Chinese medicine.
"According to the positioning, we're almost there." The number of vehicles on the road leading to the suburbs gradually decreased. The captain relaxed a little and took the initiative to start a conversation.
Ye Xuan looked out the window at the far-away street scene and sighed, "I hope Xiao Chen wasn't in trouble. Why would he come to such a remote place alone?"
He believes that medical equipment is not easy to sell in suburban areas.
Xiao Chen...maybe he is lost.
Ye Xuan didn't realize that he had realized the truth, and the car stopped.
"Get out of the car?" He asked uncertainly when he saw that the captain did not unlock the car door.
The other party rolled down the window and said, "Listen."
Several familiar voices were heard not far away.
Well, Xiao Chen was indeed blocked by the people from the temporary research institute.
Ye Xuan frowned: "I can deliver needles quickly over a large area. You probably can't use weapons against them. Just support me."
His needle had been used several times in the hospital, and he was afraid that the enemy was prepared.
For example, wearing bulletproof vests in important locations?
The captain had a keen sense of hearing and had a general idea of what was happening over there: "They haven't hurt Xiao Chen yet, don't act rashly, or else you'll give people something to blame."
Ye Xuan was well aware of the importance of public opinion and nodded in agreement.
He is not an impatient person and can wait for the right opportunity.
Linshi has never been a "gentleman", so it is not too difficult to beat them in this aspect.
Ye Xuan seemed to be in a daze, but he was actually opening the panel to adjust his hearing so that he could also detect what was going on with Xiao Chen.
It is not appropriate to open the monitoring panel when other people are present.
He listened to the conversation between Old Xu and Little Chen, and couldn't tell that the pharmacist was quite loyal to his boss.
It was me who exposed Xiao Chen's scam before. In a sense, it was "no fight, no acquaintance" kind of thing.
I have to say, I was somewhat moved.
Wages must be raised.
And it’s not like the salary increase in their company where it takes a long time to be implemented.
Instead, the salary will increase immediately, and the bonus will be added to it.
Anyway, the money in the game script is not his own.
As a real-life NPC, shouldn't you have as many of these things as you want?
Ye Xing has no idea what it means that too many rewards will destroy the balance of the game.
After the old dean spoke, Ye Xing noticed that this person's style had changed.
Now, in order to win people over, this old man even drops his airs?
Ye Xuan just shook his head at this.
This year's villain is not good.
