Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Old Mr.
Pei removed his hand after checking Huo Xiang’s pulse.
“Your pulse seems strange.
You were recently poisoned, right?”

Tong Yu went quiet for two seconds and said, “My friend hurt his back a few months ago.
At that time, the doctors at the hospital said that it was no big deal.
After that, he ended up suffering from spinal nerve damage due to some unknown reason, but no poison was found as a part of the examinations.”

Old Mr.
Pei stroked his white beard and pondered for two seconds.
He said, “I told you earlier, right? Some poison is undetectable through blood tests during the early stages of poisoning.”

Tong Yu scratched his head.
“You said my friend was suffering from spinal nerve damage because he got poisoned.
Does this mean he will recover once it is neutralized?”

It was Old Mr.
Pei’s turn to look at Tong Yu quizzically.
“His poison has been neutralized.”

“Huh? Neutralized? What do you mean?” Tong Yu was stunned.

“If I’m not mistaken, the poison was recently treated, right?” Old Mr.
Pei’s eyes landed on Huo Xiang.
Although Old Mr.
Pei phrased it as a question, he sounded absolutely certain.

Huo Xiang went into a daze.
He instantly thought about the medicine that his sister had given him this morning.

The moment Tong Yu heard Old Mr.
Pei’s diagnosis, he said, “Was it because of that medicine? The one you helped me check previously? That’s the only medicine he has been consuming off late.”

Tong Yu remembered that Old Mr.
Pei had mentioned that Huo Yao’s medicine could counter the poison and was good for nerve injury.”

Old Mr.
Pei could not help recalling how undiscerning Tong Yu had been about that medicine.
He inhaled deeply and did not want to look at him.
Even his voice became slightly heavier.
“Maybe, if those are the only meds he took.”
