The main thing is to make money, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

"Fourth Uncle, how did you come to Country J? I heard from Uncle Rong that you have been developing in Italy since you left home."

Hua Yan and Rong Yao strolled on the streets of Country J without driving. Rong Yao wanted Hua Yan to experience the scenery of Country J.

"We had no choice but to go to Italy. The domestic situation at the time was very unfavorable to our family. My eldest brother prepared enough money for us to make a living abroad, so we brothers each chose a country to develop in, hoping to give the Rong family more options.

As a Chinese, leaving home is definitely the only way out. Otherwise, no one would be willing to leave the place they are familiar with. Being forced to leave home and go out to find a place to live is bound to be difficult for many years.

No one in Italy accepted Chinese medicine, and I didn't want such a valuable product to be lost, so I chose Japan, a country close to China. I didn't expect that Chinese medicine here is even better than in China, which gave me hope.

Honor's face was filled with helplessness and emotion after seeing so much.

"That's right. Many of our ancestors' things have not been well inherited by the descendants of the Chinese people, but their essence has been inherited by their vassal states. Haha! How ironic!"

Hua Yan saw many things in Plum Blossom Valley that can no longer be seen today, but she found their traces in foreign countries.

"That's why I've never given up on studying Chinese medicine, because I'm afraid these things will disappear one day."

"No, although these things were suppressed in the past few years, the country has now recognized the problem. Besides, that movement was just the selfish desires of a few individuals and does not represent the will of the entire Chinese people."

"Yes! I heard from your second uncle that the country is now carrying out reform and opening up to promote economic development. It is no longer as poor and backward as it was decades ago."

"Indeed, people are very motivated now and want to change the status quo. We've come here in such large numbers because we want to discuss cooperation with companies in Country J, introduce their advanced management experience and technical knowledge, and help us avoid detours."

"Your second uncle said that you are a child with your own ideas and cannot be viewed with the eyes of ordinary people. I think your second uncle has not yet seen your amazingness and the vastness of your supernatural powers.

I heard some of your conversation with Taiji and the others. Those are not things a child can say. I really don't know what kind of people your parents are.

Take this antidote for example. You've already reached the pinnacle of Traditional Chinese Medicine. I'm sure many people will be curious about how I was cured. Haha!"

After saying this, Rong Yu showed a self-deprecating and disdainful smile.

"Fourth Uncle, I have some rare medical books. If you're interested, I'll copy one for you when I get home. In you, I see hope for the flourishing of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

Hua Yan didn't have this idea before because she was not sure about Rong's true thoughts. Now that she knows that he is also a person with national justice, she wants him to take on this responsibility.

"Haha! If you're willing to give it up, I'd love to have you."

This was the happiest moment for Rongyao after he recovered.

The two walked and talked until they arrived at a Chinese medicine clinic called "Ueno Chinese Medicine".

"Hey! Boss Rong is here. You look so healthy, you've recovered well."

A slightly plump man in his fifties immediately came forward to greet Rong Yu when he saw him coming.

"Boss Ueno, business is booming!"

Rongyu has a pretty good relationship with the Ueno boss. In the past, when there was a shortage of medicinal materials, both companies helped each other.

"Thank you for your good words. Come inside and sit down."

"No, I'm bringing a friend over to visit your clinic."

"Oh? Great! Welcome, welcome!"

Rong Yu introduced Hua Yan to Ueno.

A few people were chatting animatedly over there when two more people came in. Hua Yan knew they were following her. She glanced at them from the corner of her eye and saw that they were middle-aged men in black clothes, who were obviously martial artists.

After chatting for a while, Rong Yu and Hua Yan said goodbye, and the two men followed them out.

After visiting a few more houses, only one man was left following them, and the whereabouts of the other man were unknown.

After Rong Yu and Hua Yan came out of the fifth clinic, they happened to pass through a secluded alley. Hua Yan's mouth corners curled up, with a kind of calmness as if waiting to see what would happen.

Rong Yu was about to say something to Hua Yan when he saw two people blocking his way. He looked at them nervously, then glanced behind him and saw two more people blocking his way.

At this time, Rong Yao realized that the incident of his previous murder was not over yet.

"Who are you? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hurt the child."

Rong Yu’s first reaction was to keep Hua Yan by his side.

"Did she cure your poison?"

The visitor asked directly.

Hua Yan can not only understand J Mandarin, but also speak it quite fluently.

"No."

"I solved it for him."

Rong Yu and Hua Yan spoke at the same time, but gave different answers.

"Please, little friend, come with us."

"No."

"Okay!"

Rong Yu and Hua Yan spoke again at the same time.

"Uncle Si, you go home first. I'll go with them and see what they want to do."

Hua Yan held Rongyao's hand and whispered comfortingly.

She knew that it would be difficult to get over this matter of honor. She also wanted to see who the spy agencies of Country J were.

"Jiuer, you can't go. It's too dangerous."

Rong Yu subconsciously believed that these people would not let Hua Yan go easily, and said loudly:

"Tell me what you have to say. She doesn't know anything."

"Don't talk nonsense, you don't have the right to choose."

The man's tone was arrogant and his eyes were full of disdain.

"Uncle Si, don't worry, I will come back safely. Just tell An Xin and Liu Liang about my situation, and don't tell anyone else."

Hua Yan followed the four people with a calm expression.

Honor still wanted to struggle, but knowing the outcome, he gave up dejectedly.

-

The four men surrounded Hua Yan, and one of them took out a black cloth and covered her eyes.

Haha! Jiu Ye can now see at night, so what's the point of surrounding such a thing?

Hua Yan followed these people leisurely, so calm that it made people suspicious.

Turning out of the alley, Hua Yan was taken into a car. No one in the car spoke, it just kept driving.

Hua Yan was sandwiched in the middle and could only look up at the front of the car.

The car drove for about an hour, starting in the city, then to the suburbs, and then to a village.

When we entered the village, it was already dark. In the distance, there were twinkling lights and faint smoke from cooking.

After a while, the car stopped in front of a big gate. Looking at the magnificent house, Hua Yan felt like she was back in the five-courtyard courtyard in Kyoto.

There are two stone lions guarding the gate. There is a wide roof ridge above the gate, and a plaque under the roof that reads "Ghost House". There are two huge lanterns on both sides of the door, one white and one red.

I don’t know if their family name is “Gui” or if there is some story behind this “Ghost House”. You’ll know once you go in and take a look.

There was someone guarding the gate, and after explaining the situation, I was allowed to pass.

Hua Yan was taken to the west wing at the entrance of the courtyard. There was a table and chairs inside. Hua Yan was forced to sit on the chair and the black cloth on her eyes was taken off.

Hua Yan didn't look around, but sat quietly on the chair, waiting to be interrogated.

After waiting for a while, a woman in her thirties came in. She had a classic Japanese makeup and looked a bit like a ghost. Although she was smiling, she had a creepy feeling.

This is Hua Yan. After experiencing such a big scene, if it were an ordinary child, he would tremble involuntarily or even cry out of fear.

"Little boy, Auntie has a few questions for you. Are you willing to answer?"

Hua Yan nodded.

"Did you cure Boss Rong's poison?"

"Ok!"

"How long have you been studying Chinese medicine?"

"Sixty years."

"what?"

"How old are you?"

"Sixty-eight."

The woman's eyes widened in shock when she heard the answer.

"I'm sorry, mother-in-law, you look too young."

"I've always looked like this. I'm often misunderstood. I'm used to it."

"Mother-in-law, what kind of poison did Boss Rong get? I heard that many people tried to detoxify him, but none of them succeeded."

"Nothing special, just some poison that corrodes the internal organs. But the person who made it was quite insidious. He wanted him to feel like he was dying slowly, the equivalent of slow slicing."

Hua Yan spoke in a calm tone, words that made people's heart beat faster.
