Chapter 578 Suitcase Stolen



Yu Yuehui was even bolder than Chaochao.

That day, Xie Yan happened to be out and not at home, so Chaochao explained in detail the precautions Xie Yan had given her when she was riding her bike.

After listening to this, Yu Yue didn't say a word, got on her motorcycle and rode off in a dashing manner.

When Xie Yan returned home, he was surprised to see his wife riding her bike back from outside. He thought to himself, "I didn't expect my wife to be so capable."

That morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window, gently falling on Xie Yan's face.

Xie Yan had just woken up and was stretching when suddenly the phone rang, breaking the morning's tranquility.

Since no one in the family was home, Xie Yan quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed while cursing.

He was a little puzzled. Who would call so early in the morning?

Xie Yan casually picked up the phone receiver, and as soon as he put it to his ear, a familiar voice came from the other end.

In an instant, his anger, which had been burning within him, vanished without a trace, like a balloon punctured by a sharp needle.

He sighed softly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Master, I've told you time and time again that you need to reduce your workload. Why won't you listen to my advice!"

Not only did I go to work so early in the morning, but I also disturbed his sleep.

He had just been planning to take another nap.

Zheng Hedong on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes silently and said reproachfully, "Is it that I don't want to ease it?"

"I'm just too busy to find the time."

"If you come and help me, my life will be much easier."

Xie Yan smiled helplessly, knowing that they were going to talk about the same old topic again, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Master, what's the matter that you're calling me so early in the morning?"

Zheng Hedong's expression suddenly turned serious, and he slowly said, "An old friend of mine is seriously ill, and I would like you to go and take a look at him."

Xie Yan was somewhat puzzled. "Master, is he your friend?"

Where is he/she?

Zheng Hedong looked at the shadows of the trees outside and thought, "I guess so."

"He is recuperating in the South China Sea right now. If you would like to go and see him, they will send someone to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan knew that the other party was no ordinary person, and couldn't help but feel a little worried, "What if I can't take good care of him?"

Although he was very confident in his current medical skills and felt that there were few diseases he couldn't cure, the world is a big place and anything is possible, so it was better to be cautious.

Zheng Hedong laughed and scolded, "You little brat, would I ever harm you?"

"Go and take a look. Whether you see it well or not, you'll get paid."

Xie Yan was still somewhat hesitant. After all, the other party was able to recuperate in the South China Sea, so their identity must be extraordinary. Such families often have a lot of trouble.

Zheng Hedong immediately understood the young man's concerns and quickly said, "Don't worry, that family is definitely of good character."

"They heard that you treated several senior leaders very well, but they also heard that you don't like to travel, so they came to me."

Xie Yan rolled his eyes speechlessly. He then remembered that someone had mentioned to him some time ago, asking if he would be willing to travel far to treat patients, and he had refused outright at the time.

I never expected that the other party would actually find their way to my master.

Next, Zheng Hedong carefully explained the patient's condition to Xie Yan. It turned out that the patient was an old general who had fought on the battlefield and killed many Japanese soldiers.

Xie Yan held these soldiers who defended their country in deep respect. After listening to Zheng Hedong's words, he nodded firmly without hesitation and said, "I'll go."

Before Xie Yan set off, he carefully studied the old general's medical records. Just by looking at the medical records, he knew why they had gone to so much trouble to find him.

This is no easy task.

The old general had various wounds from previous battles, and over the years, his body had been severely depleted.

No wonder he went back to the South China Sea to recuperate; the old general's health is such that even a slight headache or fever could be fatal.

After studying the old general's medical records for quite some time, Xie Yan decided to restore the old general's vitality before starting treatment.

In order to ensure that the old general received the best treatment, he specially brought a century-old ginseng. Xie Yan looked at the ginseng with its intact roots and natural spiritual energy in front of him, and silently put it away. This thing was too nourishing, and its medicinal properties needed to be neutralized with some other medicinal herbs from the sea. After selecting a few more precious medicinal herbs, he left the pharmacy.

He walked to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a brand new set of silver needles. His silver needles were specially made for him at a high price. The needles were slender yet tough, and shimmered with a cool light in the sunlight.

It's not enough to just have medicinal supplements; you also need to combine them with acupuncture so that the body can absorb the effects of the medicine.

Considering the preciousness of these medicinal herbs, Xie Yan specially bought a leather briefcase with a combination lock.

The box was finely crafted, with clear leather texture on the surface. It was soft to the touch yet resilient. Xie Yan looked at the combination lock box, which was unique to this era, and was very satisfied. Although the price was a bit high, the quality was indeed good.

With this box to hold the medicinal herbs, I'm no longer afraid of the crowds when boarding the bus.

However, Xie Yan never expected that this box would cause trouble.

He had just stepped off the train and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and the suitcase he was clutching in his hand vanished in an instant.

Xie Yan was startled, his heart clenched, and without thinking, he hurriedly shouted to the person who came to pick him up, "Quick, quick, grab that person! I have something valuable inside!" His voice rose a few decibels in his anxiety, sounding particularly abrupt in the noisy environment.

Upon hearing this, a soldier on the left chased after him as swiftly as a black lightning bolt.

Xie Yan originally thought that with the soldier's skills, the man would be able to retrieve the item in a short time, so he stood there anxiously waiting, his eyes fixed on the direction in which the soldier had disappeared.

But as time passed, and a long time went by, no one came back.

Xie Yan's unease grew stronger. He paced back and forth, glancing up every now and then. Each time he missed his target, his heart sank a little deeper.

He couldn't help but regret not having put the things in the storage space.

Xie Yan never expected that his wait would lead him to the police station.

Inside the police station.

Xie Yan looked at the police officer in front of him with disbelief in his eyes. He sneered, finding it hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of a police officer.

The police officer in front of him had a solemn expression and explained in a serious tone that the thieves here had formed a huge and complex industrial chain. These thieves were completely different from ordinary thieves. They only targeted high-end targets and only engaged in "high-end games".

Xie Yan was targeted by them from the very beginning. They initially thought he was a researcher being protected by plainclothes military officers because of the people protecting him, and assumed that he was carrying important documents.

After all, if you steal something like that, you can definitely make a lot of money by reselling it.
