The crowd that had gathered in front of the clinic gradually dispersed.
At this moment, Chu Liang'an had already slipped out through another door, ran to the bus stop, jumped onto the bus that was about to leave, and headed towards Qi Yasheng's house.
Jin Xingqiu quickly got to work in the courtyard, and together with Chu Liang'an, they inspected the entire courtyard.
Four hours later, Qi Yasheng, holding a handwritten note from Ba Yuchi, bailed Su Ruyi out of the police station.
Su Ruyi was clearly not treated well at the police station because there were some strange footprints on her clothes.
She didn't leave immediately, but asked Qi Yasheng, "Who is the person who harmed me? Can you find out?"
Qi Yasheng nodded: "I'll have to wait to find out the specifics."
Qi Yasheng accompanied Su Ruyi back to the entrance of Huichuntang. When Su Ruyi saw the seal with black and white writing on it that looked like a cross, she was so angry that she trembled all over.
Although she knew there would be many obstacles after arriving in Beijing, the fact that enemies were lurking in the shadows and using such insidious methods made it impossible for her to defend herself.
Qi Yasheng instructed her, "You've been released on bail temporarily, so you can't go anywhere else yet—but Mr. Ba asked me to pick you up early tomorrow morning to go to his house, so you can go. The situation is still unclear, so I suggest you stay in the yard, lock the gate, and don't go out."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Qi."
Qi Yasheng smiled and said, "Don't be so polite with me!"
After hesitating for a moment, he added, "As the saying goes, 'The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind!' Dr. Su, hang in there! One day, when your reputation in Beijing is truly renowned, these things, these fly-like figures, will completely disappear."
"Okay, I understand. Hearing you say that makes me feel much better." Su Ruyi smiled.
Qi Yasheng left.
Jin Xingqiu and the other two surrounded them.
Su Ruyi explained the whole story.
Although the three of them were saying comforting words to her, they were all confused, and Su Ruyi was also completely bewildered.
All of their certificates and licenses were confiscated, clearly an attempt to completely drive them out of Beijing and eradicate them.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Qi Yasheng's car arrived at the gate of Su Ruyi's house.
Ba Yuchi is not at home; he has been living and eating at the research institute these days.
He received Su Ruyi and her companion in his office and personally brewed them tea: "Dr. Su, would you like some rock sugar?" Su Ruyi smiled: "No, no need."
“Rock sugar is a bit more expensive than white sugar. I thought you young girls would all like it,” Ba Yuchi said with a smile.
He deliberately kept the atmosphere light and chatted for a while before speaking seriously:
"That man's name is Zhang Hong, and he's a notorious hoodlum."
I've been inside many times before.
This time, however, he gritted his teeth and refused to speak, insisting that he had made insider deals with you.
Such a person is definitely being instructed by someone else.
He was interrogated all night, and by the end he couldn't hold on any longer and started to ramble on and on.
But no matter how much he talks nonsense, he immediately comes to his senses when asked about you, and insists that you two are having an underground deal.
So, this matter isn't easy to handle right now.
"Zhang Hong, which two characters?" Su Ruyi asked.
Ba Yuchi wrote down the two characters and handed them to her.
Su Ruyi searched her memory.
She didn't know anyone named "Zhang Hong" at all, so it seems she was indeed acting under someone's orders.
What she didn't know was that this "Zhang Hong" was actually "Fang Hong"!
Because Fang Hong was always up to petty theft, his elder brother Fang Tao felt ashamed and disgraced to be associated with him, so he asked someone to change Fang Hong's surname—a gesture that implied he was being expelled from the family.
Of course, they simply separated him into a separate household registration book.
Fang Hong was quite pleased with this.
The eldest brother changed his name, as if the evil he had done when he was called Fang Hong had never existed.
His new identity made it easier for him to do whatever he wanted.
At that time, Fang Hong was unable to make a living in a certain alley, so he moved to a different place to rent a house, and began to identify himself as "Zhang Hong", becoming a different person again.
Ba Yuchi urged Su Ruyi, "Have some tea. This tea is very good—I usually can't bear to take it out!"
Then he said to Qi Yasheng, "Yasheng, you've benefited from Dr. Su's influence!"
Qi Yasheng indeed drank half a cup of tea: "Although I can't taste it, since the teacher said so, it must be good tea."
After saying that, he picked it up again and this time drank it all in one gulp. "Good!"
Su Ruyi followed suit and finished her tea.
Ba Yuchi seemed to have been waiting for this moment: "Are you warm now? The place we're going to is a bit cold!"
He stood up and said, "Let's go, Dr. Su, I'll take you to find someone."
And so, Qi Yasheng drove the three of them to a two-story building on the outskirts of Beijing.
Ba Yuchi introduced Su Ruyi: "There's an old man living here, an old friend of mine. He just came back a couple of days ago. He heard that I wasn't dead and was still alive, so he was very curious about who cured my illness. I was originally going to ask you to treat him during the New Year's holiday, but I didn't expect you to ask for an extra appointment, and then this happened... But it's not too late now."
Su Ruyi hesitated for a moment: "Mr. Ba... both of my certificates have been confiscated..."
Ba Yuchi pointed to the small building: "Look! The only one who can speak on this matter is this old man inside! Otherwise, why would I come to see him in this freezing weather? Let's go in and see what happens! Watch my eyes!"
As she spoke, she winked.
As they talked, they walked into the small building, where an old man came out to greet them. Upon seeing them, he clapped his hands and said, "Old Ba, you're still alive! That's really something!"
Then, he looked at Qi Yasheng and Su Ruyi, pointing at Qi Yasheng and saying, "I recognize this one, she's your prized student! And this young comrade must be the little miracle doctor you mentioned!"
He then extended his hand, and Su Ruyi shook hands with him.
The old man's hands were soft and warm.
While they were talking, Su Ruyi had already used her divine sense to scan the old man's entire body.
She found that the old man was healthy, but there was a part of his brain that was... not quite normal.
In the past, she might not have been able to determine what the illness was, but now that she is a divine healer, she no longer adheres to the traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic methods and can tell at a glance.
The "Essentials of Immortal Bones" states that the Five Elements have five colors.
The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—correspond to five colors.
In traditional Chinese medicine theory, these also correspond to different internal organs.
The color green corresponds to wood in the Five Elements theory, and it represents the liver, an internal organ that supplies the body with vitality for growth.
