Chapter 1363: Don’t Give Yourself Too Much Pressure

Chairman Wang might not have known about the chronic poison, but he knew his condition well.

He was a dying man now, with or without the medicine.

Huo Yao was unsurprised when she heard what Chairman Wang said. A normal physician might have trouble diagnosing his condition, but the chairman ought to know it fully well. She said, “Let me check your pulse.”

“Sure.” Chairman Wang did not turn down Huo Yao’s kind intentions and placed his hand on the bedside table.

“Chairman Wang, if there is anything I can do for you, I’m happy to help,” said Min Yu. He was waiting by the side as Huo Yao took Chairman Wang’s pulse.

Chairman Wang looked at Min Yu. He pondered briefly before he said candidly, “I was hoping Young Master Min could help me with something. I’m worried that He Shu will be in a difficult position after I die. If anything bad happens to him, can you help him?”

Chairman Wang’s wife had died early and his son and daughter-in-law resided abroad. In a sense, his only concern was He Shu. The guy had zero power and came from an ordinary family, so he was a little worried about his disciple.

He Shu was a gifted apothecary, but if Deputy Chairman Qin became the new chairman, He Shu might be the first person he would take care of.

Qin Zheng was a very vindictive man, and it was impossible for He Shu to go up against him.

“No problem at all.” Min Yu nodded. He was from the Min family, so it was easy enough for him.

“Thank you,” said Chairman Wang in gratitude with tears in his eyes.

After taking his pulse, Huo Yao discovered that Chairman Wang was in bad shape. She paused briefly without saying a word. She retrieved the metal box containing silver needles from her backpack and opened it.

The box contained silver needles and some gold thread. She retrieved the gold thread. “Let’s start the treatment.”

Chairman Wang had seen Huo Yao use gold thread for acupuncture on Li Fang previously. He was blown away when he saw her at work. He knew his condition was completely different this time, so he shook his head. “It’s okay. Don’t bother wasting your time. I know my condition best. Even Hua Tuo can’t save me. It’s hopeless.”

He spoke calmly. It sounded as though he had already accepted his condition.

Huo Yao did not stop. She simply said, “Even though you are a dying man, it will ease the pain. For all you know, you might have a year or two more to live. What’s wrong with giving it a shot?”

Chairman Wang was stunned. “A year or two more…”

“Even if you have only one more day to live, we should still try,” said Huo Yao. She gestured for the butler to help Chairman Wang into the bedroom.

She would get a free supply of Chinese herbs for as long as he was the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association, but she was not helping him on those grounds. More importantly, Chairman Wang was Elder Yun Duan’s disciple.

After helping Chairman Wang into the bedroom, Huo Yao followed behind them holding the gold thread. Just as she was about to enter through the door, someone held her by the arm.

Huo Yao halted promptly. When she turned to look at Min Yu, she caught him frowning. “What’s wrong?”

Min Yu raised his head and glanced inside the room before looking at Huo Yao. “Is the same thing going to happen to you again?”

“Huh?” Huo Yao was caught by surprise, but she quickly caught Min Yu’s drift. She shook her head and replied. “Nope. I’m just giving him ordinary acupuncture treatment.”

Min Yu felt relieved and loosened his hand. “Don’t give yourself too much pressure.”

Even though Min Yu did not know how Huo Yao managed to save Huo Yulin, he had an inkling even without investigating the matter. It was certainly not easy.
