“Hao, do you think my dad will be OK?” Sun Yunsheng was still worried about his father . He knew how capable Hao was, even if Hao was injured . What would happen to his father?
“He’ll be fine . Master Sun, don’t worry,” Hao said .
The police department was extremely busy . They had started a rare crackdown on criminals because there had been three murder cases in less than three days . This had never happened in Dao’s history .
The police department leaders were furious . They demanded the officer solve the case in a timely manner .
Police cars roared through the streets . The policemen checked every hotel and motel in the city .
“Hey, Officer Li, I just stole a wallet . Do you have to be so harsh?” a thief asked .
“What do you think? We are cracking down on all criminal activities,” Officer Li said .
Inside a house in Dao, an old man was coughing badly .
“Another one died?” the old man asked .
“Yes,” a young man said .
“What happened?” the old man asked .
“Gun shot,” the young man replied .
It was silent in the room for a while . Then, the old man started to cough again . His cough was getting worse .
Crack! The door opened . A person entered the room .
“Master, the police in Dao are cracking down on all criminal activities,” the person said .
“Have you told him about it?” the old man asked .
“Yes,” his student said .
Ahem! Ahem!
“I’ll go there tomorrow,” the old man said .
“You’ll go there in person?” his student asked .

“Yes,” the old man said .
On the highway from Haiqu to Dao, a car was traveling fast .
Come on! Come on! Mr . Lin was worried about Sun Zhengrong . He knew what their enemies were capable of . They were hard to deal with a decade ago . They were probably more powerful now .
In a boutique club in Dao, Sun Zhengrong was drinking tea with a middle-aged man .
“Thank you for your support this time,” Sun Zhengrong said .
“You are welcome . This is what I should do anyway . You need to be careful,” the middle-aged man replied .
“I know,” Sun Zhengrong said after taking a sip of tea .
He hadn’t come across any danger like this for a long time . He couldn’t help thinking about the time when he had started his business .
“Sometimes I miss the old times,” Sun Zhengrong said .
Mr . Lin arrived in Dao in the afternoon .
“Master, are you alright?” he asked .
“Why did you come back?” Sun Zhengrong asked with surprise .
“I’ve been worried about you after what had happened to Hao . So, I came back,” Mr . Lin said .
“How is Hao?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“He’s out of danger after being treated by Dr . Wang,” Mr . Lin said .
“Good, take a break,” Sun Zhengrong said .
He asked Mr . Lin to sit down . Then, they talked for a while . Sun Zhengrong told Mr . Lin what had happened in Dao . Mr . Lin had not been aware of how bad things had become .
“So, he sent so many people here?” Mr . Lin asked .
“Yes, I didn’t expect that,” Sun Zhengrong said after taking a sip of tea .
“It looks like he’s putting all the eggs in one basket,” Mr . Lin said .
“That old man won’t last too long,” Sun Zhengrong said .

“We still need to be careful . We should ask everyone we know in the city for help . After all, our enemies are in the dark,” Mr . Lin said .
“I’ve spent $10 million hiring people to look for them,” Sun Zhengrong said .
As the richest person in Dao, he had social connections with both government officials and their illegal counterparts .
In the village, Wang Yao had a guest in the afternoon . Chen Boyuan had come from Beijing . He brought regards from Su Xiaoxue’s family . Apparently, Song Ruiping would like Wang Yao to visit Beijing as soon as possible .
“May I ask when you will be available to go to Beijing?” Chen Boyuan asked .
“I plan to go to Beijing in two days,” Wang Yao replied .
“That’s brilliant,” Chen Boyuan said as he breathed a big sigh of relief .
“How is Miss Su?” Wang Yao asked .
“She’s been recovering well,” Chen Boyuan said . “Do you need me to prepare anything in advance?”
“I need herbs . The same herbs as last time,” Wang Yao replied .
“OK, leave it to me,” Chen Boyuan said .
He had already purchased the herbs, which had been transferred to Lianshan . He made a phone call . An hour later, a van filled with herbs arrived in the village .
“You’ve already gotten the herbs?” Wang Yao asked .
“Yes . Would you like to have a look?” Chen Boyuan inquired .
“You can leave them in the courtyard,” Wang Yao said .
Chen Boyuan placed the herbs in one of the corners of the courtyard . He then left the clinic and called Song Ruiping . He decided to stay in Lianshan for several days in case Wang Yao needed him .
Wang Yao used half of the herbs in the courtyard to exchange for bonus points .
It was gloomy the next day . Wang Yao went to Sun Yunsheng’s house to see Hao .
Most of the insects inside Hao’s body had been expelled after he had taken the decoction containing miasma grass . If everything went well, all the insects would be removed today . However, Hao’s organs had been damaged . It would take him some time to recover . Fortunately, he was quite fit and had taken a Nine Grass pill . Wang Yao presumed he would be fine .
Wang Yao had confirmation from the system that Hao’s condition was also considered hard to treat . He previously was worried that he couldn’t complete the task on time . It seemed he didn’t need to worry about it anymore . It was a good thing for him .

Wang Yao told Sun Yunsheng and Hao that he would pay a visit to Beijing .
“Are you leaving Lianshan?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Yes, I need to see someone in Beijing,” Wang Yao said .
“What about Hao?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“He’ll be fine . I’ll leave some herbs here,” Wang Yao said .
Apart from the decoction, he also left a formula for Hao . He had prescribed this formula many times . It was to consolidate Hao’s corporeity . He needed a lot of nutrition .
“Thank you very much,” Sun Yunsheng said politely .
“By the way, I need a favor from you,” Wang Yao said .
“Sure, what would you like me to do?” Sun Yunsheng asked .
“Can you help me look after my parents while I am away?” Wang Yao asked .
“Sure, I will,” Sun Yunsheng said seriously .
Wang Yao didn’t rush back to Nanshan Hill that night . He stayed at home talking with his parents .
“Are you leaving tomorrow?” Zhang Xiuying asked .
“Yes, tomorrow,” Wang Yao said .
“Take care of yourself when you are away,” Zhang Xiuying said .
“I will,” Wang Yao replied .
His parents had asked him again and again to look after himself . Wang Yao left for the airport after breakfast the next morning . He didn’t bring a lot of luggage with him . Sun Yunsheng arranged a car to take him to Haiqu .
The airplane soared into the sky . Wang Yao looked at the clouds through the window . He reached out like he wanted to touch the clouds, which looked like marshmallows .
“Ew!” The person sitting next to Wang Yao sighed . It seemed he had something on his mind .
“Are you alright?” Wang Yao took a glance at him and found he didn’t look well .
“Mhm, I just feel a bit nervous . ” His body was shaking .
“Is this the first time for you to be on an airplane?” Wang Yao asked .
“No, second time,” the person said .
“I see . ” Wang Yao smiled . “Don’t be nervous . We’ll soon arrive at our destination . ”
“Thanks,” the person said .
A lot of people felt secure on the ground but would become anxious when they were at sea or in the sky, especially when they were in the sky . The person next to Wang Yao seemed to be quite nervous . He was short of breath and sweating . It seemed he had a fear of flying .
He closed his eyes like he couldn’t stand it anymore . Then, he took a bottle out of his pocket and swallowed several pills .
“Is that a tranquilizer you are taking?” Wang Yao could tell what the pills were after taking a glance of the bottle .
It was actually not good to take a tranquilizer or sedative . People could easily grow dependent on them .
Is it really that scary to be on an airplane? Wang Yao wondered .
After a while, a big city appeared under the plane . Wang Yao could see the skyline of the old city through the clouds . They had arrived in Beijing .
Someone was waiting for Wang Yao . It was a very pretty young woman .
“Hello, Mr . Wang . ” Chen Ying walked toward Wang Yao with a smile from the bottom of her heart .
“Hello,” Wang Yao said .
“Where would you like to go?” Chen Ying asked .
“Hmm, shall we grab some food first? You pick the place, my treat,” Wang Yao replied .
Chen Ying picked a boutique restaurant . It was not hard to access any type of delicious food in Beijing . There were more boutique restaurants in Beijing than any other city in China . After all, Beijing was the capital city of China .
Chen Ying ordered several dishes . Wang Yao enjoyed the food very much .
“How is your brother?” Wang Yao asked .
“He’s fine, thanks for asking,” Chen Ying said .
She got a call from Song Ruiping during lunch .
“Ms . Song just asked me where we are,” Chen Ying said .
They went back to the cottage after lunch . Wang Yao settled in his room . Song Ruiping visited him around 4 p . m .
