Luo Gang was about to speak when he felt a vibration in his pocket. He pulled out a pager. These devices were imported from Hong Kong, and Luo Gang’s group had obtained them through special channels to keep in touch. He checked the display and said to everyone, “You keep eating. I’ll go return the call.” Then he left.
Soon, Luo Gang returned, accompanied by someone else. It was Zhang Haifeng.
“Little Zhang, what are you doing in Jinling?” Zhu Yanyi asked casually. She hadn’t expected to run into her here.
Zhang Haifeng grinned. “I’ve been in Jinling for two days. I handled some business before coming to find you.” she handed her a letter. “My boss asked me to give this to you.”
Zhu Yanyi looked at the letter, then at her greasy hands. She didn’t know what to do. Qin Tianxiang laughed and handed her a handkerchief. Zhu Yanyi wiped her hands, took the letter, glanced at the envelope, and stuffed it into her pocket. “I’ll read it later. Right now, the most important thing is eating the salted duck. Little Zhang, are you eating?”
“Of course.” Zhang Haifeng sat down without hesitation, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
Zhu Yanyi continued chewing on her duck head while chatting. “Little Zhang, weren’t you supposed to be working with your boss? Why are you back?”
“It’s not work. It’s a mission,” Zhang Haifeng said seriously, chewing on a piece of duck. “I came to Jinling on a mission too. My task is to cooperate with Luo Gang to ensure you get on the plane safely.”
“Safely… get on the plane?” Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at her. “Does that mean there’s trouble on the way?”
Zhu Yanyi was very sensitive. She was never stupid, nor was her intelligence low. From her past life to this one, her only flaw was laziness; she disliked thinking about complex things. But that didn’t mean she was unaware. Zhang Haifeng’s words clearly indicated a problem.
Zhang Haifeng chewed her duck, looking at Zhu Yanyi for a long moment before speaking. “Ani, why do you have so many thoughts for someone so young?”
Zhu Yanyi shot her a glance. “Nonsense. You said you’re cooperating with Luo Gang to send us to the plane safely. That means the road isn’t safe. If it were safe, why would you be here?”
Zhang Haifeng sighed. Indeed, the road was unsafe. She had arrived in Jinling two days ago but hadn’t gone straight to Zhu Yanyi. She had discovered strangers lurking near Jinling Hospital. Zhu Yanyi was lucky. She usually went to give Zhao Guangzong acupuncture in the early morning and left afterward. The strangers hadn’t expected this. Using normal logic, no doctor would be bored enough to treat a patient at six in the morning. They had miscalculated the timing. Secondly, there was Zhu Yanyi’s age. Even if she appeared openly, they wouldn’t suspect she was the divine doctor. She was simply too young.
Traditional Chinese medicine relied on experience. No one knew Zhu Yanyi had inherited the medical knowledge of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi. No one knew that despite her young age, she possessed tens of millions of years of medical experience. Normally, a doctor’s experience grew with age, like Old Master Yao. Therefore, they never imagined Zhu Yanyi was the divine doctor. Because of this, they had seen her but ignored her presence.
