After driving for a short distance, Yang Guang and Qi Yingxue arrived at a residential area in less than ten minutes.
The license plate was automatically recognized and they entered the main gate. After taking a few turns, they arrived.
After getting out of the car and looking at the two-story villa in front of him, Yang Guang clicked his tongue. “This old man is quite rich!”
“The house belongs to the state!”
Qi Yingxue said this and pressed the doorbell.
Before Yang Guang could ask, the door had already opened. A middle-aged woman came out. When she saw Qi Yingxue, she immediately smiled and said, “Xiaoxue is back!”
“Yes, Aunty Lian, I’m here to help Uncle Chen get some things!”
After saying that, she went straight into the house and came to the living room.
The decoration of the house was antique. There were a lot of calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain in the cabinets on the wall. Yang Guang did not recognize these things and looked at them curiously.
Qi Yingxue quickly found the bag of medicine and was about to leave with it.
Aunt Lian looked at it and quickly asked, “Xiaoxue, what are you doing?”
“Nothing. I’m going to boil the medicine!”
Qi Yingxue did not say anything and left immediately.
The whole process took less than a minute. Soon, she drove away from the community.
“Sister, I’m getting more and more curious. What exactly does Old Chen do?” Yang Guang asked.
“Uncle Chen works in the province, but he has already retired for a few years!” Qi Yingxue said.
“I see!”
Yang Guang immediately understood.
It looked like Chen Zhiyuan’s position was not low. Otherwise, how could he have such prestige?
Seeing Qi Yingxue’s nervous expression, Yang Guang smiled and said, “Sis, don’t be so tense. I’m here!”
“Okay!”
Qi Yingxue was indeed relieved when she heard that. Then, she looked at him and said, “No matter what, I thank you!”
Yang Guang smiled and said, “Look at what you said. Isn’t this what I should do?”
Soon, they returned to the restaurant. When they went upstairs to the private room, there was already one more person in the room.
This was an old man with a goatee. He looked to be in his sixties, about the same age as Chen Zhiyuan.
“Old He, you’re here too!”
Qi Yingxue went up to greet him.
Old He nodded. “Yes, your Uncle Chen called me and sent someone to fetch me. I have no other choice but to come!”
“If you don’t come, I’ll have to go to your house myself!”
Chen Zhiyuan smiled, his expression imposing without anger. Then, he said to Qi Yingxue, “Xiaoxue, give the medicine to Old He. He prepared it for me. If there really is a medicinal herb called black false hellebore in it, I’ll see how he explains it!”
“Black false hellebore?”
Old He was stunned when he heard that. He turned to look at Chen Zhiyuan. “Old Chen, are you kidding me? I’ve been a doctor for forty years. Don’t I know about the eighteen side effects?”
“Let’s see. This young man said that there’s such thing in your medicine!” Chen Zhiyuan said with a smile.
“…”
Old He raised his head and glanced at Yang Guang. When he saw that it was a young man, he was immediately speechless!
However, he still opened the medicine bag and rummaged through it.
Very soon, Old He’s fingers trembled, and his entire body trembled as well!
Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts were hanging in the air.
Chen Zhiyuan narrowed his eyes. “Old He, have you found the black false hellebore?”
“How… How could this be?”
Old He’s body trembled violently. He raised his head and looked at Chen Zhiyuan. “Old Chen, you and I have known each other for thirty years. Don’t tell me you suspect me of harming you?”
“Of course not!”
Chen Zhiyuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder. “If I really suspect you, I won’t invite you here. It will be the police who will come to find you!”
“Then what’s going on?”
Old He’s face was full of confusion. He looked at the medicinal herbs and then looked at him.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll check it out!”
Chen Zhiyuan smiled and looked up at Yang Guang. “Young Man, you’re really good!”
Yang Guang was looking proud at the side. He chuckled and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just a small trick!”
“How did you know that there was black false hellebore in this medicine?” Asked Old He.
“He checked my pulse!” Said Chen Zhiyuan.
Old He was stunned. Then, he was dumbfounded. “How is that possible!”
“It’s useless even if you don’t believe it. He has indeed found the problem!”
After Chen Zhiyuan said that, he turned around and said to a young man in black behind him, “Mr. Li, go home and take a look. If I’m not wrong, the auntie at home might have already left!”
“Got it!”
Mr. Li said that and immediately left with quick steps.
“Uncle Chen, do you think that Aunty Lian did it?” Qi Yingxue understood and quickly asked.
Chen Zhiyuan smiled. “Other than you and Mr. Li, no one else in the family can touch my medicine cabinet. Who else could it be other than her?”
Qi Yingxue still found it hard to accept. “But Aunty Lian has been working at home for ten years. Why would she do that?!”
“Everything happens for a reason. We’ll understand when we find the person!”
Chen Zhiyuan sighed and leaned back in his chair. He looked exhausted. “Old He, you stay with me. The rest of you may go out. I want to rest for a while.”
With the order to leave, everyone dispersed. Yang Guang was about to leave with Qi Yingxue when Chen Zhiyuan opened his eyes. “Xiaoxue, thank Dr. Yang for me!”
“Got it!”
Qi Yingxue nodded and left with Yang Guang.
When they were outside, she didn’t say anything. She just reached out and held Yang Guang’s hand!
Yang Guang was stunned by her initiative to hold his hand. Then, his heart trembled!
Following that, Qi Yingxue did not go to the private room. Instead, she pulled him towards the direction of the office.
Yang Guang was puzzled in his heart. What did she mean? She wouldn’t be willing to give her body to him just because of such a small matter, right?
Then, he cursed himself in his heart. What kind of filthy thought was this? He should not expect her to return a favor. He had even forgotten what his grandfather had said!
He was pulled into the office in a daze. After entering the door, Qi Yingxue released her hand and looked at Yang Guang with a serious expression. “Thank you for today’s matter!”
“Sister, the word ‘thank you’ isn’t worth much anymore!”
Yang Guang smiled and continued, “You’ve already acknowledged me as your younger brother, so it’s only right for me to do something for you, right?”
“Alright, if you put it that way, I won’t stand on ceremony with you anymore!”
After saying that, Qi Yingxue turned around and went into the room. A moment later, she took out a bundle of cash. “Take this!”
That bundle of cash was 10 stacks of big notes, a total of 100,000 yuan!
When he saw this, Yang Guang’s eyes widened and he couldn’t even speak properly. “What… What do you mean?”
“This is for you. Whether it’s a thank-you fee or a gift for you to marry a wife, if you treat me as your sister, you have to keep it!” Qi Yingxue said seriously.
“Uh…”
Yang Guang thought to himself if this was even possible?
To marry a wife?
What if he wanted to marry her? Would he return the money to her when the time comes?
Putting aside the messy thoughts that popped up in his mind, Yang Guang smiled and said, “Sister, this money is too much. I can’t accept it!”
“Just take it. Don’t be so polite!”

Qi Yingxue took the money and pushed it directly into Yang Guang’s arms.
Yang Guang felt that it was inappropriate and pushed it back again. “It’s not being polite. I really can’t take it!”
“If you don’t take it, then you are not treating me as your elder sister!” Qi Yingxue pushed it over again.
“You will still be my sister even if I don’t take it!” Yang Guang pushed it over again.
After pushing it at each other for some time, Qi Yingxue loosened her grip and the money fell. However, Yang Guang’s momentum of pushing it over was still there, so he slapped her chest in an instant..
