Chapter 891: Chapter 893 Old Chinese Medicine

After he finished speaking, the room instantly fell silent. Everyone knew he was talking about Xiao Yifei, and Xiao Yifei knew it too. This old Chinese doctor was indeed slick; he only mentioned it halfway through the meeting without naming names.

So even if Xiao Yifei was angry, there was nothing he could do. If Xiao Yifei spoke up, the doctor would definitely retort, "I wasn’t talking about you, why are you so anxious?" But in reality, everyone knew he was referring to Xiao Yifei.

Xiao Yifei faced his accusation with just a subtle smile. Since no one had explicitly pointed out who, it wouldn’t be right for Xiao Yifei to quibble, as that would make him seem petty. Who doesn’t know how to put on a show?

Thank goodness this torturous meeting finally ended. For Xiao Yifei, it was rather trying, discussing such topics with a group of strangers. Fortunately, they didn’t bring up the virus leakage issue; maybe they weren’t aware yet. Xiao Yifei was quite relieved about this, otherwise, he would have been very embarrassed today.

Nonetheless, Xiao Yifei was quite grateful to the old Chinese doctor who praised him. Xiao Yifei had noticed that almost every meeting he attended, there was always someone who stood up and spoke well of him. Initially, it was the dean, then the president of the Chinese Medicine Association, and now it’s another person he didn’t know publicly encouraging him.

Xiao Yifei thought, it was worth it, wasn’t it? Thinking about it, he felt quite lucky. Although many people around him were dissatisfied with him, there were still some who would rather offend others to stand up and seek justice for him. In this society, there aren’t many such people left!

After the meeting finally adjourned, Xiao Yifei slowly packed his things, waiting for everyone to leave before making his exit. Meanwhile, he wanted to express his gratitude to the old man, who seemed to understand what Xiao Yifei intended to do, and sat there without moving.

"Old Hu, shall we go together?" A doctor next to the old man asked.

"I still have things to do, you go ahead." The old man replied.

When most people had left, the two sat awkwardly, with the old man seemingly dazed and unaware of the change in the surroundings. Hence, Xiao Yifei approached and said, "Hello, I’m Xiao Yifei. I’m very grateful for your guidance today."

Xiao Yifei stood politely in front of the old man. Upon hearing the voice, the old man came to his senses and said, "Oh, it’s you. I deliberately stayed behind to have a few words with you." With that, the old man signaled with his eyes for Xiao Yifei to sit down. Xiao Yifei pulled over a chair and sat across from him.

"You’re a very capable young man. I’ve heard your name from a friend before. Have you considered changing hospitals? I think you’re somewhat underutilized where you are. You deserve better."

Xiao Yifei didn’t expect him to say such things and was momentarily at a loss for words. Honestly, he did want to switch hospitals to distance himself from Zheng Peng and Sun Xingyao as soon as possible. But he felt it would be unfair to the dean since the dean had taken him in during his toughest times. Leaving would feel ungrateful, and Xiao Yifei was not that kind of person.

Seeing that Xiao Yifei was silent for a long time, the old man said, "I’m being hasty. It’s our first meeting, and I’m saying these things to you. I mean no harm, it’s just that it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an outstanding young person, so I got a bit excited. There’s no rush to answer this question; you can think about it."

"The most important thing now is to develop an antidote for that virus. I believe in you for this; keep up the good work!" The old man said, patting Xiao Yifei’s shoulder for encouragement.

This added pressure on Xiao Yifei, who felt that the old man put too much faith in him, entrusting him with such a daunting task after just their first meeting.

"You really overestimate me; I will certainly do my best." Xiao Yifei didn’t know what else to say, so he said that.

After this exchange, there was a brief silence between the two, finally broken by the old man: "You should go back early too. I know your time is valuable. I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future." The old man stood up and spoke to Xiao Yifei.

"I’m also very happy to have met you today. May I know your family name, sir?" Suddenly, Xiao Yifei realized he still didn’t know the old man’s name and hurriedly asked before leaving.

"My humble name is Hu, Hu Jingtang. I’ve been a Chinese doctor my whole life." He said, and the last sentence seemed a bit wistful. Listening to it, Xiao Yifei felt a pang of discomfort. Did he have any regrets? Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but speculate about his life experiences, wondering if he was like his grandfather.

The two parted ways; Xiao Yifei drove back to his hospital, while the old man walked alone, his figure looking a bit lonely. Seeing his silhouette, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but think of the heroes in martial arts dramas, who, after deciding to retire, walked away alone without turning back.

The afterglow of the sunset made Hu Jingtang appear even more solitary. Xiao Yifei couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional, as the sight of such an elderly person always reminded him of his grandfather.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he needed to call that beautiful officer to report his whereabouts. noveldrama

"I know you’re back, alright, you go ahead!" the beautiful officer replied on the other end.

Xiao Yifei was taken aback, suddenly realizing the Police Department was being redundant. They must have been secretly monitoring his movements, so why make him report daily? His phone was probably tapped as well. He chuckled bitterly, questioning the need for all this.

Living a life where he’s monitored daily and his movements restricted, he’s had enough. Moreover, this matter was a setup by Zheng Peng and his associates. He was determined to find out the truth and send Zheng Peng and the others to prison, ensuring that the guilty could no longer harm others in society.

So, he went to the dean’s office and first talked about attending today’s meeting, mentioning Hu Jingtang in passing. When the dean heard the name, he didn’t have much of a reaction, only commenting lightly, "He used to be very impressive," then shifted the topic to Xiao Yifei himself.

"Are you really planning to accept your current fate like this? There’s a chance you might end up in prison after this, though I know you’re innocent. Are you really not planning to do something to clear your name? If you need any assistance, I’m here to help." The dean said.

"Of course, I won’t just sit and do nothing. I initially accepted this outcome because I felt guilty about the people who died. If I hadn’t turned down Zheng Peng, they wouldn’t have had such an accident. But now that my punishment is over, it’s time for Zheng Peng and the rest to face theirs. I will find the evidence and won’t let him off easily." Speaking passionately, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but stand up from his chair.
