“Yes,” one of his students said .
“Teacher…” the young man hesitantly said with sad eyes .
“What?” the old man asked .
“We’ll probably hurt innocent people,” the young man said .
“Yo, my junior fellow . Since when you have become so soft?” A person whose voice was as cold as a snake rang out . The person suddenly appeared in front of the young man . He was like a shadow drifting into the room .
The young man didn’t respond . He just looked at his teacher .
“Is it because of that girl?” the man coldly asked .
“Ahem, what girl?” the old man hoarsely asked .
“Teacher, she used to be Yinghao’s girlfriend . She’s a very pretty girl,” the skinny and tall man said .
“Really?” The old man took a sip of the water on the table . “Bring her here . ”
“Teacher, we are no longer together,” the young man said .
“Why?” the old man asked .
“Because I went overseas without saying goodbye to her,” Yinghao said .
“Oh, I see . Never mind . I hope you two will get back together,” the old man said with a smile .
Yinghao was one of his favorite students .
“I don’t think it will be necessary,” Yinghao said .
“Really? What I saw the other day was quite a different picture . You are not over her,” the skinny tall man said .
“What are you talking about?” Yinghao asked .
“Well, I won’t mention it anymore,” the skinny tall man said .

“Teacher, can I leave now?” Yinghao asked .
“Yes,” the old man said .
After Yinghao left, the tall skinny man suddenly became serious .
“What is that girl like?” the old man asked .
“She seems to be nice,” the skinny tall man said .
“By the way, have you done what I asked you to do?” the old man asked .
“Yes, it should take effect tonight,” the skinny tall man replied .
“Good . Yinghao is still young . Don’t take his words seriously,” the old man said .
“I know, teacher,” the skinny tall man said .
“Take this with you . ” The old man took a small porcelain bottle out of his pocket .
“Is this worm grass?” the skinny tall man asked .
“Yes,” the old man replied .
“Teacher, I don’t need this . ” The skinny tall man shook his hand . He knew how valuable the pills were . His teacher could only make a few of them every year .
“Take the pills with you in case you are in a dangerous situation . Your own safety is the priority,” the old man said .
“Thank you . ” The skinny tall man took the bottle with two hands .
Ahem! Ahem! The old man started to cough again .
“Teacher, shall we go to see the doctor in Miao after this?” the skinny tall man asked .
“There is no use in seeing him . ” The old man shook his head . “I know my own problem . ”

Inside another house in Dao, Sun Zhengrong was worried about Mr . Lin .
“Lin, how do you feel?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“I’m not fully recovered, but I feel much better,” Mr . Lin said .
He was also infected by the poisonous insects . He was much better after taking the decoction given by Wang Yao . All the poisonous insects had been expelled from his body within short period of time . The next step was to rest and eat well . It would take some time to fix the damage caused by the insects . It would be a long process .
It was much easier to damage something than to repair something . Demolishing a house was much easier than building one .
“Have you found where they are hiding?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“Yes, I’ve notified Captain Lin and his men . They should take action immediately,” Mr . Lin said .
In the afternoon, the policemen in Dao launched an operation, which no one knew about beforehand . However, the operation failed . They didn’t catch anyone . The house they ambushed was completely empty .
“How come? Where are the people?” The leading policeman was shocked .
“Well, we’ve been watching them outside . I’m pretty sure they went into the house and didn’t come out,” a policeman said .
It seemed the policemen had the wrong information . The person in charge was furious .
“No one was in the house?” Sun Zhengrong was also very surprised .
“I presume someone in the police department tipped them off,” Mr . Lin said . “I’m guessing the person probably holds a high position in the department . ”
“So, where are they now?” Sun Zhengrong asked .
“I keep getting information from the gang members in Dao,” Mr . Lin replied . “But, those people are ferocious . Even the gangster members are scared of them . ”
“Increase the reward . When a high reward is offered, brave fellows are bound to come forward,” Sun Zhengrong said as he smoked .
“I’ll arrange it,” Mr . Lin said .
Actually, the gangsters in Dao were already excited about the $10 million reward . People went crazy for it . Some people had already received part of the reward .

“Wow, man, is this serious? You got several millions for doing this?” a gangster asked .
“Yes,” his fellow gangster replied . “This is really easy money . ”
All they had to do was provide information . After the information had been confirmed true, they received the reward which made them thrilled . The whole thing seemed to be unreal .
“Man, they’ve increased the reward,” a gangster excitedly said .
“Again? How much this time?” the gang leader asked .
“Fifty! $50 million,” the gangster replied .
Everyone in the room was shocked . Sun Zhengrong was right . When a high reward was offered, brave fellows were bound to come forward . Some people would do anything for money, even risk their lives . So, those gangster members went crazy .
“Damn, we can’t get rid of those crazy bastards,” the skinny tall man cursed .
“Money could make anything happen,” his teacher said .
Once the old man and his students were exposed, things went out of control .
A group of crazy gangster started to follow them . Dao was not really a big place .
“Let’s go there,” the old man said .
Meanwhile, Wang Yao was enjoying his time in Beijing .
“Where would you like to go?” Chen Ying asked .
“Anywhere, maybe some well-known tourist spots where I haven’t been,” Wang Yao replied .
Chen Ying drove Wang Yao around the big international city, which was ancient but modern . Wang Yao had nothing planned, so he wanted to travel around Beijing .
“Hey, can you take me to an antique shop?” Wang Yao suddenly asked .
He wanted to see if he could find acupuncture needles there .
There were a lot of visitors on the street full of antique shops, even in winter . There always were people believing they were the chosen ones with a light of ring above their heads . They believed they would randomly pick something extremely valuable and become rich overnight . Then, their life would completely change . However, nine out of 10 people usually spent a lot of money on some piece of junk .
“Hey, look at this, high-quality mutton-fat jade!” a seller shouted .
Mutton-fat jade? Wang Yao didn’t know much about jade, but he knew aura . All valuable stones had a special aura . Precious stones had unique glamour, which could be either soft or shiny . However, this stone had nothing .
Wang Yao was in no hurry . He took his time to stroll around .
“What are you looking for?” Chen Ying asked . She was familiar with this place, so she could take Wang Yao directly to the right spots .
“Hmm, something related to Chinese Traditional Medicine,” Wang Yao replied .
“Chinese Traditional Medicine?” Chen Ying thought about it for a moment .
She had never paid attention to items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine here . Most of the items for sale here were calligraphy and painting works, china and jade, which were common antiques . The items mentioned by Wang Yao were not that popular . Therefore, people normally wouldn’t find them in an antique shop . Not many people were interested in items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine . The shop owners would probably fail to sell any of those items in one year, so they didn’t usually have those items available in their shops .
“Yes, anything wrong?” Wang Yao asked .
“Oh, no, I’ve been here several times but never paid any attention to items related to Chinese Traditional Medicine,” Chen Ying said .
“Never mind . I’m just going to have a look around . It would be great if I can find something I’m interested in . But, I don’t have to buy anything,” Wang Yao said .
The two of them took their time looking around . Wang Yao would stop when he saw something interesting .
What is this? Wang Yao noticed a book in an antique shop . The name of the book was Tai Shang Qin Scripture
“Hello, can I take a look at the book?” Wang Yao asked .
“Of course, feel free to take a look . ” A slightly overweight middle-aged man handed the book to Wang Yao .
Wang Yao took the book and browsed through it .
“You have sharp eyes . The book is from Ming Dynasty . It was not written by someone famous, but it’s an old book,” the shop owner said with a smile .
He didn’t exaggerate the value of the book . It was not written by a famous writer . Although the book was handwritten and the handwriting exhibited force and vigor characteristic of the writer, not many people would be interested in a book written by nobody . It would be pure luck whether the shop owner could sell it .
“How much is the book?” Wang Yao asked as he closed the book .
Wang Yao was pretty sure this was an ancient book . The content of the book was different to the similar books nowadays .
This book was a Taoism scripture . It actually had another name, which was Yellow Court Interior Classic . It belonged to one of the Taoism streams . The book documented ways of staying in good health . It mentioned a lot about how to maintain organ function .
