“It works!” Wang Yao stuffed the cork into the bottle .

He went over to Jia Zizai’s body to observe his reaction before stretching out his hand to take his pulse .
“How do you feel?” Wang Yao softly asked .
“Huu, tss, huu . ” Jia Zizai felt that even breathing was difficult . If he had any strength left, he would have tried to teach the young man a lesson .
He thought, Damn him! He is using me to test medicine and carry out human experiments . How immoral is that? Did he ask how I felt about it?
With a casual wave of Wang Yao’s hand, the whistle of the wind filled the room and blew out all the fragrance .
Zhong Liuchuan, who was standing in the courtyard, heard the sound in the house and looked back but did not enter . He suddenly smelled a faint fragrance in the yard and felt dizzy . Fortunately, the feeling came and went quickly .
“You can come in now, Liuchuan!” Wang Yao shouted toward the yard from inside the room .
Zhong Liuchuan heard the shout and went in . He saw Jia Zizai collapsed on the ground like a dead dog . “Sir, is he…”
“Ah, I just used him to test medicine . ” Wang Yao shook the bottle in his hand . “The efficacy of the medicine looks good . ”
“When I was in the courtyard just now, I smelled a faint fragrance and felt dizzy, but I quickly recovered . ” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Ah, that’s this medicine,” Wang Yao said . “You’ve taken my special medicine, so you were able to resist the fragrance . Tie him up . I want to see how long it lasts . ”
“Yes, Sir,” Zhong Liuchuan replied .
“Wait a minute, do I still need to be tied up in this state?” Jia Zizai weakly asked .
“Always be prepared so there won’t be trouble,” Wang Yao said . “Alright, Liuchuan look after him . Tell me when you think he looks spirited . ”
After they left the room, Zhong Liuchuan asked, “What’s the name of this medicine?”

“What do you think of Shixiang muscle softening powder?” Wang Yao suggested .
“It sounds good, but I seem to have heard it somewhere,” Zhong Liuchuan said .
“Hmm, I don’t want to infringe upon some rights,” Wang Yao said . “What about calling it Cartilage Fragrance?”
The medicine was created through his own fumbling . It mainly relied on the magic of the fragrance from the Xianqiuluo flower .
After sitting in Zhong Liuchuan’s house for a while, Wang Yao returned to his clinic .
In southern Xin Jiang, Guo Zhenghe looked out at the streets of the small, remote county town . He had been there for more than a year . He had quickly been promoted from town mayor to county mayor, but he had relied on solid achievements . He hadn’t used his family’s connections .
His phone suddenly rang . After listening a moment, he responded, “Are you certain? Alright, I see . Well done . Continue . ”
After he had hung up the phone, his face was calm as he looked out of the window . He sighed deeply . Before long, there was a knock on his door .
He calmly said, “Enter . ”
“County Mayor, what you have requested has been done,” the man said .
“Alright, I see,” Guo Zhenghe said . “Go do your work . ”
The small county town didn’t have many places for leisure . On a nearby hill, there was a resort . Some villas were built near the hill so as not to destroy the trees and terrain . It had been a project that Guo Zhenghe took charge of after his arrival . At first, he thought of relying on the mountains, greenery, and clear water for the tourism industry, but the data had proven that villas were the right choice .
With the improvement of people’s living standards in recent years, more people began to pay attention to the quality of life and travel . The scenery in the small town was mesmerizing . The forest coverage was impressive, so it was an excellent place to avoid the summer heat . Since the construction of the mountain resort, people in nearby cities often came there . Even more people came in the summer .
Guo Zhenghe took a car to a wooden villa in the mountain resort .

“Hello, Country Mayor,” a man said .
“Where’s the person?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“In the room,” the man said .
“Don’t allow idle people to disturb me without my orders,” Guo Zhenghe said .
“Understood,” the man replied .
Guo Zhenghe pushed the door and entered the room . A man in his 40s with an ordinary appearance and outfit was inside .
“Hello,” Guo Zhenghe said .
When he saw Guo Zhenghe, the man got up quickly . “Hello, Country Mayor Guo . ”
“Please sit, don’t be so nervous,” Guo Zhenghe said . “Why do you want to see me?”
“Well, I’ve been in big trouble recently,” the man said . “After thinking about it, I could only come to you . ”
“Big trouble? Your herb planting project has always been the focus of county support, so how can there be big trouble?” Guo Zhenghe asked with a laugh .
The man may have looked ordinary, but he was, in fact, worth a lot . He was a famous herb grower in the county . At the end of the previous year, he applied for a medicinal material processing project . At the same time, he invested nearly $20 million . The project had been listed by Guo Zhenghe as a key concern and project to support for the county government . It was progressing quite well .
“Well, it’s not about the project,” the man said .
“What’s it about?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, “I feel that my life is threatened . ”

“What?” Guo Zhenghe’s face changed . “Who is it?”
“I don’t know . ” The man shook his head . “I’ve been followed recently, and some of the herbs I grow have mysteriously disappeared . ”
“Did you call the police?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Yes, but it didn’t work,” the man said .
Guo Zhenghe got up and walked a few steps in the room . “Do you have any enemies?”
“No, I’m just an herb grower,” the man said .
“What herbs were lost?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“They were all medicinal materials like ginseng that were more than 10 years old,” the man said . “They are wild and valuable . ”
“Why do you think you’re getting threatened?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“Hmm, how should I put it?” The man scratched his head . “I feel like I’ve been poisoned by maggots!”
“What?” Guo Zhenghe was stunned .
During his time in power there, he had heard a lot about maggot poisoning . There was a unique culture in southern Xin Jiang . It was very mysterious . Few people had personally seen maggot poisoning, including Guo Zhenghe . Although he often heard about it, he had never seen it .
“Maggot poisoning? Do you have any evidence?” he asked .
“My stomach has felt very unwell the past two days, and I vomited several times,” the man said . “There were worms in the vomit . ”
“Insects? Parasites?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“No, definitely not,” the man said . “There is no parasite like that . Somebody came to me and said that he wanted the mountain I was in charge of and wanted me to transfer it . I didn’t agree at that time . ”
“Did he threaten you?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“No, he just asked me to think about it,” the man said .
Guo Zhenghe thought for a while before asking, “Do you know who he was?”
“I don’t know . ” The man shook his head . “Mayor Guo, I’m scared . I’ve asked someone to investigate . Their style is very to that of the Miao Jiang faction . ”
“What faction?” Guo Zhenghe asked .
“It’s called the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . The people specialize in planting herbal herbs and making medicines,” the man said .
“Alright, go to the hospital for a checkup,” Guo Zhenghe said . “If you encounter something like that again, call the police . ”
He didn’t believe the matter should be managed by him, but he also had to consider how cooperative this man had been since his arrival . The man was a local and trusted by others . Guo Zhenghe had to give the impression to the people below him that he loved his people and spoke for them . Otherwise, they would not want him governing them .
“Yes, I got it,” the man said .
“OK, I’ll tell you a place where you can go if you can’t find out anything in the hospital, but don’t mention my name,” Guo Zhenghe said .
