Chapter 388: Taking human lives lightly



The next day, Yao Tongjia woke up naturally. When she woke up, there was no one there. She could only wash up and go to the kitchen to find something to eat. There was an egg and some millet porridge warming in the kitchen.

Yao Tongjia knew that this was a nutritious meal her mother had cooked for Xiao Yan, and that she had also saved some for herself. Yao Tongjia peeled the boiled egg, broke it in half, and put it into the millet porridge.

Yao Tongjia scooped up a spoonful of egg yolk, added a little millet porridge, and ate it. The sweetness of the millet porridge and the rich flavor of the egg yolk instantly spread in her mouth.

Yao Tongjia's stomach suddenly growled, and she could only scoop up another mouthful of porridge and put it in her mouth. She finished the porridge in a few bites, and only then did her internal organs feel at ease!

Yao Tongjia washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen before heading to the hospital. When she arrived at the ward, wow, it was so lively!

There were four people inside: the two elders of the Xiao family, Xiao Gengwu, and Eagle Eye Man, plus several military wives who came to visit after hearing the news. It was difficult to even turn around!

Yao Tongjia decided not to go in. She called out to the two elderly people at the door and then followed Xiao Gengwu. The two hadn't gone far when Ruan Shengpeng's bodyguard came to call them over.

Xiao Gengwu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does your uncle want you to do?"

Yao Tongjia guessed, "It must be the person I asked him to investigate. If he found out, let's go take a look together!"

As Xiao Gengwu walked, he asked, "What happened?"

Yao Tongjia could only tell Xiao Gengwu about the pharmacy being shut down. Xiao Gengwu was a little upset: "Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you come to see me?"

Yao Tongjia paused for a moment: "I just think that if I tell you, you'll have to go through all that trouble. It's better to just talk to Dad directly!"

Xiao Gengwu listened, seemingly lost in thought, and didn't say anything more until they reached the army commander's office!

Ruan Shengpeng gestured for the two to sit down and asked with concern, "Have you two had breakfast?"

Hearing that the two of them had eaten, Ruan Shengpeng took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yao Tongjia: "This is the result of my people going there. Take a look, do you know this person?"

Yao Tongjia took the paper and looked at it. It was from a person named Lu Ang. She was very sure that this was the first time she had seen this name, but it was this person who had ordered the closure of the pharmacy.

The note said someone had asked Lu Ang, to which Lu Ang replied casually, "Someone reported that this pharmacy was disregarding human life, so of course we had to shut it down immediately."

Now things are much more standardized. Someone suggested that we first talk to the person in charge of the shop and explain why the shop was closed. Lu Ang shook his head: "There's no need. Just close it when you tell me to. I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

Xiao Gengwu took the paper, looked at it, and shook his head: "We don't know this person at all. Why is he targeting you?"

“He has only been with the Drug Administration for less than a year. I have been busy for the past two or three years and there has really been no opportunity for others to have conflicts, unless someone is stirring up trouble.”

Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu exchanged a glance. They both guessed at the same person from each other's eyes, but hadn't they knocked that person down into the mud?

Yao Tongjia's heart skipped a beat: "Dad, can you go to the farm where Ruan Tian is being held and find out if Ruan Tian is still there!"

"You mean this matter is related to Ruan Tian? But is that far-fetched?" Ruan Shengpeng really didn't believe it. What could a woman on a farm, especially a disfigured woman, possibly do?

Yao Tongjia thought to herself, "How could it be impossible? She's the female lead, and all of us are just cannon fodder for her. She can't even imagine such an opportunity."

"Just ask her for me. I bet she's not on the farm. Either she's dead, or she's missing."

Ruan Shengpeng picked up the phone: "I just don't believe it!"

Ruan Shengpeng picked up the phone book and looked for the farm where Ruan Tian lived. He made the call for a long time before being transferred to the farm's management.

They heard Ruan Shengpeng ask Ruan Tian, ​​"Call back in ten minutes, I'll go check it for you!"

Ten minutes later, Ruan Shengpeng called again, and the person on the other end was already waiting: "Ruan Tian passed away from illness two months after she came here!" Ruan Shengpeng's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Yao Tongjia!

Yao Tongjia made a "Y" sign at him, and Ruan Shengpeng put down the phone: "Dead! He died two months later!"

Yao Tongjia laughed: "That's it. She must be retaliating from behind. I felt that the appearance of that person surnamed Gui was abrupt. These days, those who run rampant in Beijing are all high-ranking officials."

"And he, the son of a group leader at a garment factory in Liangang, dared to come out and make a fuss, and he always found the right person, knowing that the old lady disliked her granddaughter."

"I hate it so much that they have to use their granddaughter's life to cause trouble and get money, otherwise this whole scheme wouldn't have been possible!"

"Even if you smash a stone on the side of the road in Beijing, you can find countless children of officials. Tongtong, don't be afraid. Just go directly to the Drug Administration and ask what mistake you made that led to the closure of your shop."

Xiao Gengwu stood up: "I'll go with you!"

Yao Tongjia didn't let Xiao Gengwu drive. She took the keys and jumped into the driver's seat herself: "I originally wanted you to go back and get some sleep, but I figured you definitely wouldn't want to go back to sleep, so you can sleep in the car!"

When the two arrived at the Drug Administration Bureau, it was almost closing time. Yao Tongjia asked several people at the Drug Administration Bureau before finally finding Lu Ang. In Lu Ang's office, besides himself, there was another woman.

The woman's back view was familiar, but her face was unfamiliar. Yao Tongjia didn't pay much attention: "Excuse me, are you Lu Ang, the clerk?"

Seeing that they were two unfamiliar people, Lu Ang, despite their well-dressed appearance, still put on airs: "We're about to leave work. If you need anything, please come back early this afternoon!"

Yao Tongjia pulled Xiao Gengwu to sit directly in front of him: "It's not time to get off work yet, why are you closing my Xue Family Medical Clinic?"

"Who are you to the Xue family? What business is it of yours what the Xue family's medical clinic is with you?"

Yao Tongjia looked Lu Ang straight in the eye: "I am in charge of Xue Family Clinic. It is currently registered under my name. You shut down my clinic without any prior notice. Why?"

"Why? It must be because someone complained that your clinic was disregarding human life, so our drug administration went to shut it down!"

"Disregard human life? Did you investigate? Are you saying I killed someone by prescribing medicine? Or that I killed someone by treating them?" Yao Tongjia stared directly at Lu Ang.

Lu Ang felt violated by Yao Tongjia: "You're someone who made a mistake, you should just wait for the investigation, how dare you come knocking on my door?!!"

“Our pharmacy has never made a mistake from beginning to end. Even great people say that you have no right to speak without investigation. Have you investigated?”

"I told you to wait until we investigate. Get out of here. We'll talk about this after the investigation is over!"

"Is this some kind of delaying tactic? Are you planning to wait until our shop has no patients left before telling me you made a mistake?"

How could Lu Ang be led by the nose by Yao Tongjia? He stood up and said, "It's already time for me to leave work. Please come earlier next time if you have something to do!"

Before Yao Tongjia could even step out, she heard a familiar voice: "Tongtong, what are you doing here?"
