Chapter 5

Tang Yun's golden light flourished, forcing the scarlet blood mist back. He took out a porcelain bottle, poured out a few pills, and a peculiar fragrance spread.

"Eat this first." Tang Yun helped Lin Xiyue up and sent the pill into her mouth.

Lin Xiyue only felt the pill melt upon entering her mouth, a warm current surging through her whole body, and the originally churning blood Qi gradually calmed down.

"So magical..." Lin Xiyue said weakly, her eyes full of amazement.

Tang Yun didn't say much, and walked quickly to Lin Hong's bedside, stuffing a pill into the old man's mouth.

"The old master has been poisoned deeply, so I must use True Yuan to guide the medicinal power." Tang Yun said, his hands quickly pointing over several major acupoints on Lin Hong's body, and a vigorous True Yuan was slowly input.

Lin Hong's originally pale face gradually regained a trace of blood color, and his breathing became steady.

After a while.

"Phew..." Tang Yun spat out a breath of turbid air and stood up.

"Mr. Tang, this... what exactly is going on?" Lin Dahai asked with a trembling voice, looking at the subordinates still twitching on the ground, his eyes full of fear.

"This is Blood Sha Gu." Tang Yun said, "A kind of extremely evil Gu technique."

"Gu technique?" Lin Xiyue and Lin Dahai were both stunned.

"Yes, the Gu technique of Miaojiang." Tang Yun explained, "People who are poisoned have no symptoms in the early stage, just like being sick; in fact, the Gu insects have already been slowly eroding the internal organs in the body. Once triggered, it will explode instantly, releasing a deadly blood mist, and those who are hit will have their internal organs corroded."

"Then... then isn't there no cure?" Lin Dahai's face turned pale.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time." Tang Yun glanced at him, "Doctor Zheng's acupuncture just happened to stimulate the Gu insects, which led to the scene just now."

Zheng Anping, lying on the ground, turned red with shame. He had been practicing medicine for many years and prided himself on his superb medical skills, but he had never seen such strange Gu poison, which led to a misdiagnosis and a great disaster.

"Doctor Zheng, you... you misdiagnosed?"

Zheng Anping opened his mouth and lowered his head dejectedly.

"This... what should we do?" Lin Dahai panicked; he originally thought that inviting Zheng Anping would cure his father, but he didn't expect it to be counterproductive, almost harming the whole family.

"Don't worry, I have already controlled the toxicity." Tang Yun said, "As long as you take the medicine on time, the old master will soon recover."

"Really?" Lin Dahai looked at Tang Yun with joy.

"Of course." Tang Yun nodded, "However, this mastermind..."

Tang Yun paused deliberately when he said this, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.

Lin Xiyue and Lin Dahai both felt a chill in their hearts; this matter was definitely not accidental.

"Who wants to harm our Lin family?" Lin Xiyue said through gritted teeth.

"That's for you to investigate yourself. I can only help you up to here."

"Mr. Tang, please, you must help us!" Lin Dahai begged, "As long as we can find the murderer, our Lin family will definitely reward you heavily!"

"Heavy rewards are unnecessary." Tang Yun waved his hand, "I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave."

Saying that, Tang Yun turned and left.

"Mr. Tang, please stay!" Lin Xiyue hurriedly chased after him, "Can... can you leave your contact information?"

Tang Yun stopped and looked back at her.

"Why? Do you want to repay me with your body?" Tang Yun's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Lin Xiyue's pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly explained: "No... no, I just want to... want to have a chance to repay your kindness in the future."

"Repaying kindness is unnecessary." Tang Yun said, "If you really want to repay me, help me find out the mastermind."

"Okay, I promise you!" Lin Xiyue didn't hesitate.

Tang Yun took the wet towel handed by Lin Xiyue, wiped his hands, and threw it into the trash can.

"Mr. Tang..." Lin Xiyue wanted to say something but stopped, her brows filled with worry.

"Speak your mind." Tang Yun was relaxed.

Lin Xiyue gathered her courage: "Since grandfather fell ill, the Lin family has had constant trouble. The Liu family suppresses us everywhere, our business is almost stagnant, and the family is also panicked..."

She paused, her voice lowering a few points: "Many side branches are eager to move, all wanting to take advantage of the fire to get a share. If it weren't for my second uncle struggling to support it, the Lin family would have fallen apart long ago."

Lin Dahai nodded repeatedly on the side, his fat face full of anxiety: "Yes, Mr. Tang, this Blood Sha Gu must also be the work of the Liu family! They want to completely annex our Lin family!"

He said, slamming his fist on the table, making the teacups jingle.

"The Liu family?" Tang Yun raised an eyebrow, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, it's the Liu family! They have always coveted our Lin family's industry, and this time grandfather fell ill, they are even more unscrupulous!" Lin Xiyue gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred.

Tang Yun was silent for a moment, his eyes sweeping over the Lin family. The atmosphere in the room was oppressive. Even Lin Dahai, who was arrogant and domineering just now, was now like a frosted eggplant, listless.

Looking at the weak Lin Hong, and then at the worried Lin family in the room, Tang Yun couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion.

"I will do my best to cure your grandfather." Tang Yun looked at Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of joy flashed in her eyes: "Really? Mr. Tang, thank you!"

"Not just your grandfather, I will also help you deal with the Liu family." Tang Yun added.

Lin Xiyue was moved to tears, grabbing Tang Yun's hand: "Mr. Tang, you are truly the great benefactor of our Lin family!"

Tang Yun pulled his hand back unobtrusively and coughed lightly: "However, I need to understand the situation of the Liu family."

"I'll have someone send the information over right away!" Lin Dahai said hurriedly, his fat body darting out with unusual agility.

Before long, Lin Dahai ran back panting with a stack of documents, carefully placing them in front of Tang Yun.

"Mr. Tang, this is all the information on the Liu family, please take your time to read it." Lin Dahai said obsequiously, the fat on his face trembling.

Tang Yun picked up the documents and read them carefully. The Liu family, an emerging family in Jiangcheng, the family head Liu Tianba is ruthless and unscrupulous. In recent years, the Liu family has developed rapidly, showing signs of overshadowing the Lin family.

After reading the documents, Tang Yun had a general understanding.

"Liu Tianba, interesting." Tang Yun's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"Mr. Tang, what is your plan?" Lin Xiyue asked impatiently.

"No rush." Tang Yun waved his hand, "Let's cure your grandfather's illness first."

Next, Tang Yun stayed by Lin Hong's bedside, constantly applying needles and medicine. Lin Hong's complexion improved day by day, and his originally sallow face gradually regained its ruddy color.

Three days later, Lin Hong finally opened his eyes slowly.

"Grandfather, you're awake!" Lin Xiyue rushed to the bedside with joy, tears shining in her eyes.

Lin Hong looked around blankly, his eyes gradually regaining clarity. He struggled to sit up, and Lin Xiyue hurriedly supported him.
