Chapter 359
Hearing the doctor's words, the doubts in the hearts of the people instantly vanished. Looking at the doctor's tired yet sincere face, and then at the troublemakers captured by Ye Jiuchen, they understood. Their anticipation for the new drug was rekindled.
Ye Jiuchen gazed at the scene before him, then looked up at the sunlit horizon in the distance. He knew in his heart that this battle against the forces of darkness had only just begun. But his eyes showed no fear; instead, they were filled with determination and courage. He knew that as long as they held justice in their hearts, nothing could stop them. No matter what hardships and obstacles awaited them, he and the healers would fight hand in hand, for justice, for the health of countless people, to the very end.
Night fell like ink, thick and heavy, spreading across the heavens and earth. Ye Jiuchen's face was cold and stern, like a pine tree standing tall in the cold night, emanating a chilling aura. He grabbed the troublemaker by the back of his collar as easily as lifting a chick, and in a few swift movements, dragged him away from the bustling, gossiping crowd. The troublemaker struggled futilely, his feet off the ground, but he could not break free from Ye Jiuchen's iron-like grip.
Before long, they arrived at a secluded spot. The surroundings were eerily quiet, save for the rustling of the treetops in the breeze, like the whispers of unknown creatures lurking in the darkness. Ye Jiuchen abruptly shoved the troublemaker forward, who stumbled and nearly fell. Ye Jiuchen's gaze was piercing, like two sharp blades aimed directly at the troublemaker, and he said in a deep voice, "Who ordered you to sabotage the new drug's promotion?"
After regaining his footing, the troublemaker snorted coldly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. He turned his head away, offering no reply. He thought to himself, "Hmph, trying to pry anything out of me? Dream on!"
Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen was not angered. He slightly raised his head, gazing into the distance, as if he could see the hidden forces behind the scenes through the endless darkness. He simply said, "I know that the forces behind you are vast and intricate, like a giant black spider web attempting to envelop everything. But we will never back down. Today, the people have chosen to trust us once, and this is the beginning of trust. From now on, they will stand firmly on our side. Because what we are doing is to save lives, it is an act of justice."
Meanwhile, the healer was fully immersed in preparations for the large-scale production of the new drug. He was constantly on the move, tirelessly searching for suitable suppliers of medicinal herbs. However, the road ahead was fraught with difficulties. Some merchants, threatened by the forces of darkness, hesitated and refused to cooperate with him. These merchants looked troubled, their eyes darting around. Although they were moved by the healer's good deeds, under the oppressive power of the dark forces, they ultimately chose to protect themselves.
Hearing these rejections, the healer was not discouraged. He knew this was a difficult battle against the forces of darkness, every step fraught with hardship and challenge. With unwavering resolve, he shouldered his bamboo basket, took his sickle, and personally went up the mountain to gather herbs. The mountain paths were rugged and thorny, often tearing his clothes and skin, but he remained oblivious.
On the mountain, the healer encountered many villagers. He stopped and patiently taught them to identify the precious medicinal herbs. Pointing to each herb, he explained in detail their shape, characteristics, and effects. The villagers gathered around him, listening intently and occasionally exclaiming in amazement. Inspired by the healer, more and more villagers joined the herb-gathering effort.
On Ye Jiuchen's side, the interrogation continued for a long time. He sometimes used a gentle and persuasive approach, and sometimes he reprimanded the troublemaker sternly, constantly changing his interrogation strategy. Finally, through his relentless efforts, he obtained a clue from the troublemaker's clenched teeth. Following this clue, Ye Jiuchen, like a keen cheetah, relentlessly pursued the perpetrator. After a difficult investigation, he discovered a stronghold of the dark forces.
The stronghold was hidden deep in a secluded forest, surrounded by high walls and heavily guarded. Ye Jiuchen didn't act rashly, but quietly returned to find the healer. The two met in a secluded spot, speaking in hushed tones, carefully discussing their next plan. They knew this operation was fraught with danger, but to uncover the secrets of the conspiracy to stop the new drug's promotion, and to ensure the new drug could successfully benefit the people, they had no intention of backing down. After their discussion, they set off towards the stronghold under the cover of night. Moonlight cast long shadows on them, and soon their figures disappeared into the darkness. A thrilling exploration, like a volcano about to erupt, was about to explode.
The night was as dark as thick ink, pressing heavily on the earth. All was silent except for the figures of Ye Jiuchen and the healer, who moved silently in the darkness, like two silent ghosts, cautiously approaching the stronghold occupied by the dark forces.
The high walls surrounding the stronghold cast large shadows under the hazy moonlight, resembling lurking beasts. Guards paced back and forth at intervals along the walls, their figures appearing and disappearing in the moonlight like ghosts. The healer moved slowly, taking out a meticulously crafted bamboo tube from his robes, filled with his homemade sleeping gas. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes, and with a flick of his wrist, the tube flew like a black lightning bolt towards the nearest guards.
With a soft "pop," the bamboo tube exploded beside the guards, instantly filling the air with white smoke. Before the guards could even raise the alarm, they inhaled the sleeping gas, their eyes rolled back, and their bodies went limp as they slowly collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.
Ye Jiuchen and the healer exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, then quickly ran to the wall. Ye Jiuchen crouched slightly, crossed his arms, and gestured for the healer to use his hands as a stepping stone to scale the wall. The healer understood, stepping onto Ye Jiuchen's hands. Ye Jiuchen then exerted force, tossing the healer high into the air. The healer somersaulted in mid-air, firmly grasping the top of the wall, and then quickly flipped over using both hands and feet. Immediately afterward, Ye Jiuchen took a few steps back, ran, jumped, grabbed the wall with both hands, and gracefully vaulted into the courtyard.
