Chapter 420: Discovering the Enemy's Whereabouts

"As long as you follow the medical advice, you can both be cured!" Lin Wanning said while writing out a prescription, finishing it quickly.

The elder woman's eyes turned red, and she said excitedly, "Thank you, Doctor!"

This time, she could finally hold her head high in front of Yi Zhonghai; she had always felt she owed the Yi family.

After being married for so many years, she hadn't given the Yi family a single son or daughter.

Although Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything on the surface, it wasn't as if he had no feelings about it.

Lin Wanning took the silver needles from her handbag and said, "Today, I will perform the Silver Needle Technique on you both for the first time. From now on, I will come once at the end of every month to perform it again. In half a year, if you follow the medication, your illness will be cured!"

"Where should I go to fill this prescription?" Yi Zhonghai asked.

"Although the medicine isn't cheap, you can buy it at any large pharmacy," Lin Wanning said.

Yi Zhonghai took the prescription as if holding a piece of hope, his hands trembling slightly, "Doctor Lin, what is the consultation fee for this time?"

"I am a good friend of Zhuzi. There is no need for money; you will be spending quite a lot on the medicine anyway. Once you are cured, if you feel bad about it, just give me a small gift," Lin Wanning said with a smile.

"You traveled such a long way here, how can we not pay you?" the elder woman said hurriedly.

Yi Zhonghai gently pulled the elder woman and whispered, "We will see her again next time; let's listen to Doctor Lin."

Over the years, Yi Zhonghai had been to many clinics. At first, the doctors all said they could cure him, but there was never any effect. This time, having met someone who didn't demand payment immediately, he couldn't have asked for more!

After the acupuncture was finished, the couple thanked them profusely and left.

Lin Wanning sighed and said, "The elder woman must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years. Actually, her problem isn't major; instead, the elder man's problem is quite significant. He is too conceited; he is ill, but refuses to admit it!"

"What? You're saying the elder woman doesn't have a major problem, but it's the elder man's problem?" He Yuzhu looked at her in disbelief.

Lin Wanning nodded, "Eighty percent lies with the man, twenty percent with the woman."

"Then why didn't the doctors at the hospital bring this up?" He Yuzhu asked.

"One possibility is that those doctors are quacks; another possibility is that they were trying to milk them for money by keeping them on the hook! They intentionally didn't cure them," Lin Wanning said.

"You're painting those doctors as too evil!"

"If you don't believe me, ask them if they've ever been to a big hospital for a check-up?"

"What? You're saying they've only ever gone to small clinics for their medical care?"

Lin Wanning nodded.

"The elder man's condition wasn't serious in the early stages. For a man, infertility is a shameful topic to bring up, so he kept blaming the woman, and thus delayed the treatment!" Lin Wanning said.

"We need to leave quickly. If we stay any longer, my mother will definitely come over to see you. She has always been very curious about you and has been asking me lately why I don't come home to stay. I can't let her meet you," He Yuzhu said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanning immediately became dissatisfied and said, "Are you implying that I don't look good? Why can't I meet your mother?"

"You've been pushing your luck lately! Do you even know who you are? If my mother found out you used Xiaoqi as a hostage, would I even be able to show my face?"

"So, for the rest of my life, I can never meet my mother-in-law?" Lin Wanning said.

"You can meet her in thirty years!" He Yuzhu said.

"Why thirty years?" Lin Wanning looked confused.

Of course, He Yuzhu couldn't tell her that in thirty years, no one would care about her identity anymore, so he could only brush it off: "By then, my mother probably won't be able to beat me up anymore."

"You are a jerk!" Lin Wanning cursed in anger.

"Stop cursing, let's go!" He Yuzhu urged.

As soon as the two stepped out the door, they bumped into Shen Guizhi, who was just about to enter.

He Yuzhu's heart tightened. He didn't introduce Lin Wanning to Shen Guizhi and ran off with her, "Mom, I have an urgent matter, so I won't be eating at home!"

Shen Guizhi didn't reply. She stared at Lin Wanning's retreating back for several moments and muttered, "A doctor—what's wrong with being a woman that she has to dress up as a man? Who on earth is this?"

"Mom, who are you talking to?" He Yushui ran in in a flurry with Xiaomi, Dahua, and Xiaoqi.

Shen Guizhi turned and asked, "Why aren't you doing your homework? What are you doing running over to your brother's place?"

"My brother has a freezer, we're here to make popsicles. Tomorrow is a day off, we're going to sell them!" He Yushui said righteously.

In the car, Lin Wanning suddenly spoke up: "Call Tian Dan on the way. I think I've discovered the secret to the funding source of the Unity Sect."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" He Yuzhu complained while driving, "It would have been so convenient to call from home. Where am I supposed to find a phone on this road?"

"Who told you to keep rushing me to leave?" Lin Wanning pouted.

"Do you know how dangerous that was just now?" He Yuzhu sighed, "My mother almost walked in. If you had said two more words to her, your cover would have been blown immediately."

He Yuzhu parked the car near a dumpling shop and let Lin Wanning go in to buy some food, while he went to the post and telecommunications office to borrow a phone to call Tian Dan.

Not long after the two returned home, Tian Dan arrived in a rush, covered in sweat.

He Yuzhu handed her a bottle of Arctic Ocean soda: "Drink some first to cool off."

Tian Dan gulped down a few mouthfuls and let out a long breath: "It's quite cold. You kid, you really live a luxurious life!"

Lin Wanning led Tian Dan into the living room.

A huge sheet of white paper hung on the wall, densely packed with the names of various import and export companies, their business projects, account information, and capital flows. It was clear that a great deal of effort had been put into it.

Lin Wanning pointed to the chart and said, "I analyzed over 150 export enterprises and finally discovered that thirteen companies have issues... The export products of these thirteen companies are very similar, and they all share one common point—they all have a hog bristle project."

As she spoke, she explained her analysis process in detail, from capital flow to business structure, progressing layer by layer.

Tian Dan listened while taking notes rapidly.

He Yuzhu felt his head spinning and couldn't help but interrupt: "Can you give us the conclusion first? You can fill in the derivation process later."

Tian Dan immediately glared at him, clearly dissatisfied—she knew that without a complete logic, it would be hard to convince the bureau.

Lin Wanning nodded and said directly, "Ever since I suspected these thirteen Si Jiu Cheng trade companies, I went to investigate in person and have confirmed again—they are indeed providing financial support to the Unity Sect."

"On what grounds do you say that?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Because these companies are all raising pigeons," Lin Wanning said with a firm tone, "and they are carrier pigeons used to pass messages. There is no need for a normal trade company to do this; phones are already very convenient now."

Tian Dan's eyes lit up instantly: "Good, we've finally caught the fox by its tail."

He Yuzhu remained cautious: "But how does using pigeons to send messages prove they are transporting funds to the Unity Sect?"

Lin Wanning paused for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "Did you forget what I used to do? We also always used pigeons to deliver messages."

He Yuzhu nodded, then asked, "Dan, can we make the arrests this time?"

Lin Wanning thought for a moment and suggested, "We could first set up a secret perimeter around these thirteen companies."

"No."

"No."

Tian Dan and He Yuzhu spoke almost at the same time.

Having suffered too many losses before, neither of them was willing to give the other side any chance to escape again.

Tian Dan immediately made the final decision: "I will return to the bureau at once and arrange for the arrests immediately."
