Chapter 40 Enigma

  Just as Wu Rui arrived at the patient's side to prepare for their examination, the police from E City suddenly appeared, once again causing the atmosphere on site to freeze.

  Seeing the police surrounding him, Wu Rui would not have a good face like treating villagers. First, regardless of whether they had ulterior motives, just saying that when they saw the villagers besieging themselves, their inaction made Wu Rui have no good feelings towards them.

  With the two poisoned patients' conditions unable to be delayed, Wu Rui's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he said as calmly as possible: "I need to check on the patients' conditions now, please move aside!"

  "Hum! Are you still not satisfied with their misfortune?" The leader coldly snorted a sentence, then commanded the surrounding police: "Catch him!"

  "...", but no one answered, however, more than a dozen police officers around Wu Rui all rushed over.

  "Damn it!" Wu Rui was furious, and for the time being, he couldn't care less whether hitting a police officer was against the law. In just a few swift movements, he knocked over more than a dozen policemen to the ground. His actions were quick and decisive, and in his anger, he showed no mercy, although he didn't cause any serious injuries. Still, this group of policemen had a lot to suffer through.

  The surrounding crowd saw that Wu Rui dared to attack the police and was so fierce, they all opened their mouths in shock. Especially the villagers holding hoes and carrying poles, were even more covered in cold sweat. Now they still can't feel it, earlier Wu Rui had been taking care of them, being beaten but unmoved.

  "You... you dare to attack a police officer!" The leader was furious, and at the same time, he reached for his waist and pulled out a pistol, pointing it directly at Wu Rui: "Wu Rui! Surrender immediately, or I'll shoot!"

  "Ah......" Seeing the police draw their guns, the surrounding crowd retreated in fear, worried about being caught in the crossfire.

  Only Wu Rui remained calm, looking at the gun in the policeman's hand, his eyes shrinking slightly, then expressionlessly saying: "I just wanted to take a look at the patient's condition, you'd better not fire, otherwise you'll definitely regret it!"

  "You..." The team leader wanted to scold, but Wu Rui's gaze with a killing intent shot over, and the words that reached his lips were blocked, unable to be spoken again, only his face turned gloomy and uncertain.

  Wu Rui ignored him and squatted down beside the old man who was unconscious.

  The old man's appearance, Wu Rui still had a vague impression, indeed his own patient diagnosed yesterday, treated for stubborn headache. At that time, he gave him a prescription. And at this moment, the patient was sleeping on the stretcher, in a state of coma, with a slightly black face, and the sensitive areas such as the mouth, eyes, and corners were even more frighteningly black, typical severe poisoning symptoms.

  "It's not a poisonous plant, it seems to be a chemically toxic substance. How can there be such things in traditional Chinese medicine?" Wu Rui's heart sank slightly, but now was not the time to think about that. She quickly took out several ordinary silver needles and inserted them into various acupoints on the old man's body, first sealing off the toxicity that was currently acting up, then forcing out the toxicity from his internal organs and other critical areas.

  "Ugh..." The old man suddenly vomited, and the dark red blood stained the floor, making it look particularly unsightly.

  "Grandpa!" Seeing his grandfather in trouble, the grandson beside him suddenly became anxious.

  "Don't move, that's toxic blood!" Wu Rui hastily stopped him from approaching and continued to use the silver needle to force out the spreading toxin through the hundred acupoints in his limbs.

  By now, the old man's body had completely eliminated the toxins, but after being tossed around like this, his body was very weak. Out of guilt and a sense of responsibility, Wu Rui quietly used her skills to improve the functions of the old man's various organs. It could be said that the old man also benefited from misfortune, as Wu Rui's treatment had rejuvenated his various organs, making it unlikely for him to suffer from serious illnesses in the future, and he might even live a few more years.

  "Hmm... how did I end up here?" As Wu Rui put away the silver needle, the old man gradually came to and saw himself lying on a stretcher, feeling dazed. He struggled to get up, noticing the stunned faces around him, with Xiao Shen Yi standing beside him. The old man asked anxiously, "Xiao Shen Yi, what happened to me?"

  "Grandpa!!!!!! Waaahhhhhh......" The response wasn't from Wu Rui, but his family members, who were all hugging each other and crying tears of joy.

  "This doctor doesn't seem like a quack!" exclaimed passerby A.

  "It's true, even a big hospital said there was no hope for him, but after a few injections, he came back to life." Passerby B also chimed in.

  "Haha, I knew it, Wu Rui couldn't possibly be a mediocre doctor!" This remark naturally came from the mouth of Liu Dage, the fish seller.

  "But weren't these two also poisoned by him?" someone next to him retorted.

  "Uh..." Old Man Liu was speechless once again.

  The team leader, who was still holding the gun, looked a bit unsightly. He keenly noticed that the surrounding crowd's view of Wu Rui had changed and quietly put away his gun with an unpleasant face, he didn't want to become the target of public anger.

  Wu Rui ignored the various discussions around him, after curing the old man he quietly retreated and walked towards the second patient.

  Perhaps having seen Wu Rui's extraordinary skills, the patient's wife no longer bothered to find fault with him, but instead begged anxiously: "Doctor, please save my husband!"

  "Madam, I will definitely try my best!" Wu Rui bowed and apologized, then walked over to the patient's side.

  This is a middle-aged man in his forties, possibly due to his youthful vigor, he has not yet fainted and still has some consciousness, but it's very vague. Apparently, the illness is also severe.

  Wu Rui didn't say much more, skillfully administering the needle to force out the poison, and finally making some improvements to his body as well, silently expressing his apology.

  "Ah Zhen, you're awake! You've finally woken up!" The woman beside him also burst into tears of joy as she saw her husband regain consciousness. Without caring about modesty, the couple tightly embraced each other.

  Wu Rui smiled with relief, quietly putting away her silver needle while also taking the time to ponder this strange poisoning incident. For now, she had two possible guesses as to the cause: one was that the medicinal herbs they bought were poisonous, since both of them prescribed their own medicine and didn't undergo acupuncture; the other was that someone behind the scenes wanted to frame her.

  At this thought, a fierce glint flashed in Wu Rui's eyes. If it was indeed the second reason, Wu Rui would definitely make the other party understand what regret means, daring to use his patient's life as an article, truly ruthless and crazy! Deserves to be killed!

  Wu Rui's eyes were filled with a fierce and unprecedented killing intent!

  After the two families finished gathering, Wu Rui suddenly spoke up and asked: "The prescription I gave you yesterday, did you bring it with you?"

  "Agreed!"

  "Agreed!"

  Middle-aged Ah Zhen and Old Master Hong's family members responded simultaneously, hastily taking out their respective prescriptions and handing them over to Wu Rui.

  Wu Rui took it over and carefully examined it, after confirming that there was no mistake, he frowned and said: "These two are just ordinary prescriptions, they can't be poisonous, otherwise the pharmacy wouldn't sell them to you. Where did you buy the medicine?"

  "I am in the village clinic." Hong Baye replied first.

  "I'm right here at the Tongji Pharmacy in the market, and it was Dr. Chen himself who handed me the medicine!" Ah Zhen replied.

  It just so happened that Dr. Chen from Tongji Pharmacy was also on the scene, and when he heard Ah Zhen's words, he was stunned, really not expecting to be innocently implicated. If it wasn't explained clearly, his pharmacy would have to close down in the central market. So, he hastily pushed through the crowd to Wu Rui's side, took over the prescription and examined it carefully before loudly saying: "This prescription doesn't contain any toxic substances at all, just some ordinary medicinal materials, absolutely impossible to be poisonous! And I guarantee that the medicinal materials from Tongji Pharmacy are definitely not problematic, I dare to stake the reputation of Tongji Pharmacy on this!"

  "The reputation of Tongji Pharmacy is guaranteed, and Dr. Chen's medical skills are not bad either. Since he said that the prescription was absolutely non-toxic, how could both of them be poisoned at the same time? This matter seems suspicious, is there some unknown inside story?"

  Doubts arose, and bystanders were unclear about what was happening. For a time, there were all sorts of discussions, but no one doubted Wu Rui's medical skills anymore.

  Wu Rui, on the other hand, was expressionless, but his eyes kept flashing with murderous intent. The prescription was absolutely correct, and the two of them didn't buy medicine in the same place, so the suspicion that there was a problem with the medicinal materials could be basically ruled out. It can be confirmed that someone is taking revenge on him by poisoning him, but who is so ruthless?
