Wang Yao drove Tong Wei back to Dao City the next morning .
What had happened last night was only known to those who were involved . The morning in town was still peaceful and quiet .
The two of them didn't speak in the car . They just listened to the sad pop songs on the radio .
"Are you still thinking about what happened last night?" asked Wang Yao as he noticed Tong Wei didn't look well .
"Yes," said Tong Wei softly .
"You'll be better in the next few days . " Some herbs could help reduce post-traumatic stress . However, Tong Wei's condition was not serious; she would return to normal without medication .
Wang Yao drove slowly . They arrived at Dao City three hours later . They went to Tong Wei's unit first .
Tong Wei made Wang Yao a cup of tea after entering the unit . The two of them sat on the couch and chatted for a while .
"Would you like to grab some food?" asked Wang Yao .
"Okay," said Tong Wei .
They went out for lunch . Tong Wei seemed to be slightly calmer . She started to smile . The two killers really scared the hell out of her the other night, as if she had walked through the gate of hell .
"Can you stay here tonight?" asked Tong Wei .
"Sure," said Wang Yao gently .
He called his parents to notify them of what happened . His parents expressed understanding and asked him to stay at Dao City for a bit longer .
Tong Wei would go back to work the next day, then she would go to France for work . The two of them would separated for a long while .
Maybe it was because of the separation in the near future that they didn't talk much .
It started to get dark outside .
They sat on the couch watching TV after evening dinner, just like an old couple .
Tong Wei leaned her head on Wang Yao's shoulder . She was so pretty and smelled nice .
"I wish we could just be together like this," said Tong Wei gently .
"Then we can just sit here a bit longer," said Wang Yao .
The program on the TV was boring . They just sat on the couch leaning into each other . Maybe after several decades, when they got old, they would be like this all the time .
"I think we should be together," said Tong Wei gently .

"Huh?" said Wang Yao in confusion .
It was a nice evening .
Before bed, Wang Yao gave Tong Wei a glass of light green water that had Moonlight herb in it to calm her mind .
Wang Yao held Tong Wei as they slept for the whole night . Tong Wei's body was so soft .
Tong Wei had a very good sleep that night because she was with Wang Yao, her reliable boyfriend . She didn't have any nightmares .
It would be so good if they could just stay like this .
Wang Yao kept thinking of him and Tong Wei while lying in bed .
Time always passed quickly when they were enjoying each other's company . The night would eventually pass, and the sun had started to rise in the east .
"Good morning," said Wang Yao .
"Morning . " Tong Wei gave Wang Yao a gentle kiss on his face .
"Did you have a good sleep?" asked Wang Yao .
"Yes," said Tong Wei with a smile . Her face was as pretty as a flower .
Wang Yao drove Tong Wei to work after breakfast .
"You don't need to go to work if you are not well," said Wang Yao .
He could tell that Tong Wei hadn't completely recovered from the shock caused by the horrible event the other night . He was a bit worried about her .
"I'm fine . I won't be alone . I've got my colleagues with me," said Tong Wei .
"Okay," said Wang Yao .
Tong Wei went to meet her colleagues in the company, then they went to the airport by bus together .
Wang Yao followed the bus hired by Tong Wei's company in his car .
There were a lot of people at the airport . Some were parents seeing their children off, some were couples . Tong Wei and Wang Yao stood in the crowd; they could only see each other .
"Be careful when you are in France," said Wang Yao .
"I will," said Tong Wei .

"Call me if you need me," said Wang Yao .
"Sure," said Tong Wei .
They suddenly felt they had a lot to say to each other .
They would be apart for just a month, not forever, but they would miss each other too much .
Tong Wei kept looking back to Wang Yao as she was walking towards the boarding channel . Wang Yao stood in front of the window to watch the plane taking off to the sky .
He felt a bit of loss . Then, he drove from Dao City back to Lianshan .
Meanwhile, the doctors were busy working in the Haiqu City Hospital .
"Are they getting any better?" asked a doctor .
"No, we can't analyze the components of the toxin in such a short period of time . Without the antidote, we'll barely keep them alive and stop their condition from deteriorating," said another doctor .
The doctors in Haiqu City Hospital were worried about the patients who were recently admitted to the emergency department .
They knew those patients were poisoned .
Their symptoms were similar to patients suffering from a snake bite . The doctors had tried some medication on the patients, but it didn't work . The leaders from the police department in the city called to ask about those patients and that made the doctors feel quite stressed .
"We need to arrange a meeting again to discuss a treatment plan," said a consultant .
"I will arrange it right now," said the medical administrator .
. . .
There was also something happening in Lianshan Hospital .
A doctor was holding a glass bottle, and he was a bit confused . He didn't know what to do with it . He found the bottle when he came out of his office this morning . There was a note stuck to the bottle .
The note said, "This is the antidote for the policemen . "
After thinking for a while, he went to his supervisor . After all, he didn't have the authority to deal with such a big thing . He also heard that the other five patients suffering from the same toxin were not well in Haiqu City Hospital . They were still unconscious, and their fever wouldn't go away .
"We'll keep a small portion of the antidote to analyze and send the rest to Haiqu City Hospital," suggested the doctor's supervisor .
The antidote was sent to Haiqu City Hospital immediately . The doctors in Haiqu City Hospital analyzed the antidote in the laboratory with suspicion but found it was actually effective . Those unconscious patients woke up after a short while . The whole thing stirred huge curiosity among the doctors who had been treating those patients . The hospital analyzed the components of the antidote .
Anyway, the five patients were no longer in danger . The doctors were all relieved . They could report to the police department .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao went back to his home .

"What? Tong Wei went to France?" said Zhang Xiuying in shock . Her eyes opened widely . Although Wang Yao mentioned it briefly that Tong Wei would travel overseas recently, she had no idea when she would leave and where she was going .
"All the way to France!" said Zhang Xiuying .
"That's fine, Mom . She's only going to stay there for a month . She will come back!" said Wang Yao with a smile .
"What do you know, silly boy? People will change," said Zhang Xiuying with a sigh .
Change?
Wang Yao smiled .
He then took another two packs of herbs to Nanshan hill . The herbs brought by Chen Boyuan had almost run out . He sold all those herbs to the medicine shop for bonus points .
That should be enough .
Wang Yao had had enough bonus points to buy Everlasting grass and Lingshanji for brewing Muscle Revitalizing powder .
Meanwhile, inside the prison at Lianshan town center, two prisoners were heavily guarded .
"They could stand up in less than three days! I doubt if they were human beings," said a policeman on duty . He was talking about the special prisoners in a special prison .
"Fortunately, people from the county will come back today," said another policeman .
The young man in a prisoner uniform smiled .
. . .
"Why are you smiling like this?" asked Wang Yao .
He was with Wei Hai on Nanshan hill .
"I went to Dao City yesterday and had myself checked at the hospital . The doctor told me that I'm almost fully recovered," said Wei Hai excitedly .
Considering he was vomiting and almost died several months ago, the change of his health status was huge . Thanks to Wang Yao, he could almost fully recover . If he hadn't known Wang Yao, he would probably have died by now .
"It is good news indeed," said Wang Yao .
"Can you check my pulse?" asked Wei Hai .
"Of course," said Wang Yao .
Actually, he had just checked Wei Hai's pulse a few days ago and knew that Wei Hai had been recovering well . The equipment in the hospital couldn't detect the eggs of parasites deep in Wei Hai's liver . The eggs were the most difficult things to remove . If they were not removed completely, they would be like time bombs affecting Wei Hai's health at any time .
"You should continue to take the decoctions and try to increase the dosage," said Wang Yao after thinking for a while .
"Increase the dose? Actually, I don't have much left," said Wei Hai . This why he visited Wang Yao .
"Okay, just one minute," said Wang Yao .
Wang Yao started to brew a decoction for Wei Hai immediately . Deworming powder didn't require many herbs; it was easy to brew it .
For most people like Wei Hai, brewing decoctions was boring . He sat next to Wang Yao to observe him brew the decoction . Wang Yao sat quietly next to the multifunctional pot like an old monk who was very calm and had no worldly passions . He occasionally added some firewood and put the herbs into the pot one by one . Soon, the nice smell of herbs wafted out .
It took Wang Yao over one hour to complete brewing a decoction .
"Done . " Wang Yao poured the decoction into a porcelain bottle and gave the bottle to Wei Hai .
"Thank you," said Wei Hai .
By the time Wei Hai was ready to go, Wang Yao had another visitor .
"Hey, Wei Hai, I saw your car parked outside," said Wang Mingbao .
"Hi, Mingbao, how come you are here today?" asked Wei Hai .
"My grandpa is going to dig a grave today, I came back to help him," said Wang Mingbao .
It was a cultural custom in the village to dig graves for elders who were still alive .
"Are you ready to clean up the houses you bought recently?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"Yes, I've completed all the paperwork," said Wang Yao .
"Do you want to have lunch at my grandpa's place?" asked Wang Mingbao .
"Not today, sorry . " Wang Yao shook his hand .
When the villagers were digging a grave, they would cook a banquet for family members . They normally wouldn't invite people who were not family members for lunch .
Wang Yao left Nanshan hill for the houses at the south side of the village in the afternoon . He continued to clean the weeds in the courtyard until late afternoon . More than half of the weeds were cleaned . However, there was still quite a few rubbish in the courtyard .
I should get an expert to clean the courtyard .
Therefore, he called Tian Yuantu to tell him his plan to renovate the houses .
"No problem, I'll bring some people with me tomorrow," said Tian Yuantu .
The main business of Tian Yuantu's Jiahui Group was related to real estate . Tian Yuantu was the expert in the building industry .
The next morning, Tian Yuantu drove to the village with the best building designer in his company . Wang Yao had been waiting at the entrance of the village as he received a call from Tian Yuantu in the morning .
"Is this the place?" asked Tian Yuantu . He was a bit surprised to see the shabby courtyard .
