Li Chengyi stared at Shen Zhao with his starry eyes, "Keep talking!"

Shen Zhao swallowed, trying to calm himself down. "You are now in the wound recovery stage and you feel itchy, but yours is different. Usually, pink granulomas will slowly grow when the wound recovers, but your wound will recover very slowly and is accompanied by severe pain." Shen Zhao said as he secretly glanced at Li Chengyi's expression. Seeing that his face was dark, he didn't know whether to continue for a moment.

"continue!"

"Uh... OK, the cause is that the murderer smeared the murder weapon with hyaluronic acid, a plant that grows on snowy cliffs. Its flowers bloom only in winter and only for two days. It is slightly toxic and can prevent the wound from growing and cause a series of neurological symptoms. Therefore, your recovery time will not only be longer than that of an ordinary person, but it will also be more painful. If you use the wrong medicine, I'm afraid the wound will rot and it will be difficult to treat it at that time."

Li Cheng glanced at the woman, who immediately lowered her head. If he looked closely, he could see her body trembling slightly. Then he asked Shen Zhao, "Then what do you think should be done? Did the doctor I met earlier handle the situation properly?"

"Uh... I need to take a look at the wound. I am just guessing now." She also felt that the atmosphere in the room was a bit stiff and cold, so she raised her eyes carefully and looked at Li Chengyi, "Sir, there is something I want to mention."

Li Cheng smiled. He didn't believe that the girl in front of him was just an ordinary high school girl. At first, he wanted to let her go, but now he had to think about it again. "Just tell me what you want to say. I'm not a fussy person."

"Thank you sir, that's the thing, if I can help you sir, I wonder if you could take me back to the hotel? After all, I'm just an ordinary student on a graduation trip."

"How can an ordinary student know about such an obscure plant as the zygote? I believe that even my subordinates," he looked at the woman again, "may not know."

The woman lowered her head even lower.

"Come here, I'll show you."

Li Chengyi said. Although the woman was a little worried, she did not dare to disobey Li Chengyi. She walked behind Shen Zhao and pulled out a sharp knife from her waist. With a click, the hemp rope on her wrist broke, and a circle of conspicuous marks appeared on it. After the rope was untied, the blood flow was smoother. Her hands instantly relaxed a lot. She rubbed her hands together. Shen Zhao was not in a hurry to go over. "Well, I haven't finished speaking just now. Before I came in, I had already written text messages and sent them to my classmates and parents. If I can't go back, I will definitely bring you unnecessary trouble."

Li Chengyi understood what he heard. He sneered and said, "Are you provoking me?"

"I dare not," Shen Zhao lowered his head, but his tone was still neither humble nor arrogant, "Although I said this, I want to let you know the actual situation. Personally, I still want to help you take a look at your wound, if you allow it."

"Do you want me to repeat what I just said?" Li Chengyi asked back. This question made Shen Zhao more confident. It meant that Li Chengyi chose to trust her, and now she had a greater chance of returning to the hotel safely.

Shen Zhao clapped his hands and looked at the masked woman who lowered her head. "Do you need to search me? After all, he is your boss. Don't accuse me of harming him later."

The woman looked at Shen Zhao in amazement, as if she was looking at a rare animal.

Li Chengyi waved his hand and said, "No need. Now that I have spoken, don't worry about other things."

As a result, Li Chengyi left Shen Zhao with the impression that he was not only fierce and handsome, but also casual.

She quickly came in front of Li Chengyi. He was shirtless. As she got closer, Shen Zhao could immediately smell the bitter smell of various herbs emanating from him. She raised her hand and placed it on the knot on his shoulder. "I'm going to untie your bandage."

"Ah."

Strips of gauze danced along Shen Zhao's hands, and the room was gradually filled with an unpleasant smell of mixed medicines. The color of the gauze became darker and darker, becoming a dirty earthy yellow and green, and then even black. The gauze that was in contact with the wound was even stained with some solidified blood clots, which fell to the ground along with the gauze.

Li Cheng looked at Shen Zhao's expression and knew that his wound was in the worst condition. He cast a dark gaze at Shen Zhao, "How is it?"

The light in the room was dim. The owner of this medicine shop liked ancient things and even disdained to use electric lights. Shen Zhao frowned and picked up the candlestick beside him and brought it close to Li Chengyi's wound so that he could see it more clearly. Her eyelashes were long and her skin was smooth and delicate. Li Chengyi lowered his eyes and looked at her. He suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his heart, which was extremely unbearable. He held his breath and tried to endure it until Shen Zhao finished observing the wound and stepped back one meter before relaxing.

Shen Zhao put down the candlestick and looked at the man in front of him seriously. "Your wound was treated incorrectly when you first used the medicine. Then you used a set of acupuncture to slow down the deterioration trend, but that is only a temporary solution. In the end, your wound will become a big hole, and the poisonous blood will spread throughout your body. By then, there will be no cure."

"How is it possible! It was clearly at the beginning..." The woman next to him shouted excitedly after hearing Shen Zhao's words. Before she could finish, Li Cheng waved his hand to stop her from saying the next word.

The wrong medicine was used from the beginning... Li Chengyi raised his eyebrows, and the light scar also floated with it. He felt a sense of flooding, but he still controlled it. He raised his eyelids and stared at the girl, "Do you have any solution?"

Li Chengyi had been testing Shen Zhao from the beginning. It didn't matter whether Shen Zhao was an ordinary student or sent by other organizations, because she had described his symptoms vividly from the beginning, and guessed the whole process after seeing his wounds. Zhao Qing was abducted from the Mu family recently, and outsiders didn't get the news so quickly, so there was no way of knowing whether acupuncture was performed or not. Shen Zhao could tell by observing the wounds and told him everything, so he naturally believed her.

Shen Zhao nodded.

The woman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw this, but then she remembered something and looked at Li Cheng with panic in her eyes. After being glanced at by Li Cheng, she lowered her head again.

Shen Zhao saw their interaction very clearly, and thought it must be an internal problem. She didn't want to know too much. People like them were obviously living a life of danger. The man's wounds had begun to decay, and their initial appearance was blurred, but she still knew that they were several gunshot wounds. Who would use guns in this era? It was obvious. She hoped that he would show mercy to her and let her return to a peaceful life after she was unfortunately exposed this time. But she changed her mind and realized that her previous life was also full of troubles. She didn't even know how "she" died, so how could she have peace? She would be lucky if she didn't get involved in more troubles.

"I can heal your wound, and I'm not exaggerating, but you have to promise me two things." Shen Zhao tried to bargain.

Li Cheng looked at the girl in front of him who was not panicking at all. He hesitated for a while, and waited until Shen Zhao was a little bit out of confidence before he said, "Okay."

"I will prescribe a prescription today. It won't work immediately, but it will have some relief. If you want me to continue your treatment and adjust the prescription, you have to send me back to the hotel first, along with my partner, safely."

"That won't do! What if you cheat?" the woman asked coldly.

Shen Zhao shook his head. "I won't. My life and the lives of my friends are up to you. And you know where my school is. You can come find me."

Shen Zhao said it lightly, but he didn't know that it would be difficult for Li Chengyi to enter H City, as that was Mu Yanchen's territory.

"Okay, I promise you."

"master!"

"No need to say, I have already made up my mind, so you can prescribe the prescription now."

Shen Zhao nodded and sat down at the nearest table. The woman quickly prepared rice paper, a brush, and an inkstone, and began to grind ink under Shen Zhao's strange gaze.

"Can't I use a ballpoint pen?" Shen Zhao couldn't help but exclaim. These things are so inconvenient to use. Are all the bosses of Dongling Pharmacy so inefficient?

"Not here." The woman said in a firm tone.

Shen Zhao swallowed the words he was going to say in his heart and said nothing more. No one would listen anyway.

Shen Zhao's calligraphy was not good, it was crooked, but the woman could still read the words clearly. Soon, a prescription was written out, one for internal use, and the other for external use. "Two sets, the external one is applied twice a day, scrape the rotten flesh and then apply it, the internal one is taken on an empty stomach at night."

It was extremely convenient to get medicine in Dongling Pharmacy. It was obvious at first glance that the woman understood medical knowledge. She nodded to the man and then left.

"Li Chengyi, my name."

Shen Zhao wanted to roll his eyes. Who wants to know your name? But he still held back his temper. Saving his life was more important at this moment. "Well, you've seen my name."

The woman casually placed her student ID on the table. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Shen Zhao picked up the student ID and put it in his trouser pocket.

"It's not that I don't believe you. You said that the internal medicine should be taken on an empty stomach at night. I wonder if I can send you back at night?"

Shen Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, but nine o'clock is the latest." Otherwise, he would not be able to treat Mr. Mu in time.

"Is there a curfew on the graduation trip?"

Shen Zhao nodded. There was no need to tell the truth. Mr. Mu’s treatment was a secret that even the school didn’t know about.

Li Chengyi couldn't help laughing, thinking that if Shen Zhao wasn't sent by another organization, she would really be a good girl.

The woman quickly returned with the external compress. Shen Zhao stood up from his seat, took the herbs, and demonstrated in front of the woman without hesitation how to make the compress. The process was so complicated that even the woman couldn't help but marvel at it. In the end, the herbs turned into a sticky puddle of soft material in Shen Zhao's hands. She held the bowl, stirred the soft material with a smooth wooden stick, and came to Li Chengyi.

When I raised my eyes, I could see his deep eyes. "Do you really believe me?" Shen Zhao asked without any emotion, as if he was saying something insignificant.

"You do it."

Li Chengyi's body was very strong. Apart from those wounds, the lines of his muscles were perfect. She couldn't help but think of the broken body lying on the bed. When could she train him to be like this? Shen Zhao thought absentmindedly while cleaning the rotten flesh on the wound.

The wooden stick was dipped in soft material and gently applied to the wound. Li Cheng felt a cool sensation. In addition to the sharp pain that hurt his nerves, there was also a slight itching, just like the silent spring rain that moistened everything. His whole body tensed up. He stared deeply at the girl in front of him who was helping him apply the medicine seriously. He actually had a reaction to her. He quickly closed his eyes and stopped looking at her. However, the consequences of doing so were even more fatal. The senses were magnified in the darkness, and the itching seemed to be spreading. Just when he almost couldn't bear it, Shen Zhao left with the medicine bowl.

"Okay," she said softly, then stared at him with hopeful eyes, "How do you feel now?"

"The pain is not as severe, but the itching has increased significantly."

Shen Zhao nodded, "That's right, but you can't grab it." Shen Zhao looked at the woman, "Can you bandage it for the gentleman?"

For some reason, Li Cheng felt a little unhappy when he heard this. Since she helped him apply the medicine, she should help him bandage it. How could she let others do it? It was obvious that Shen Zhao had no intention of bandaging him, so he looked at the woman and said, "You come."

"Yes." The woman skillfully took out new sterile gauze from the cabinet and bundled it for Li Cheng.

After everything was done, the secret door finally opened. Shen Zhao then realized that the door of the dark room was built on the wall. He didn't know what mechanism was triggered, but the bricks loosened and moved to the left and right, revealing a tunnel that was only wide enough for one person to pass through. It turned out that the dark room was built underground. A woman walked in from the tunnel. She was the one Shen Zhao saw at the counter.

"Juhong, why are you here now? What happened to those girls?" the woman asked.

Shen Zhao heard the point that concerned him.

"I'm just worried about my master," Juhong stared at Li Chengyi, as if he was her whole world. Then she saw Shen Zhao sitting in the corner and asked in surprise, "Ah! Why are you here?"

"He was captured."

Juhong looked at the woman in surprise, "Meibai, your habit of kidnapping people at every turn is not good. Isn't this implicating the little girl?"

Mei Bai curled his lips, "How much better are you than me? You still knocked those girls out."

"It's just their fate. I didn't intend to do this, but when I saw that they were ignorant of the world, I wanted to play a trick on them."

After hearing this, Shen Zhao felt that they were fine and felt much more at ease.

"Let the three girls sleep a little longer. If they wake up, keep them for dinner. Later, you send the four of them back to the hotel." As soon as Li Cheng spoke, Juhong and Mei Bai were secretly shocked, Juhong even more so. She had no idea what was going on here. She stared at Shen Zhao with a look of surprise, as if she wanted to find the answer from her.

But Shen Zhao's expression remained indifferent. Since the conditions had been set, she just had to wait for the results obediently.
