After the acupuncture treatment, the atmosphere in the conference room completely changed. The experts who had just looked down on Lin Feng now looked at him with admiration.

"Doctor Lin, you are truly a miracle doctor," Chen Jianguo said excitedly. "These patients have been bothering us for over a month, and you solved the problem with just one move."

"It's not completely resolved yet." Lin Feng shook his head. "The acupuncture I just gave only temporarily controlled the symptoms. To completely cure it, we need to find the cause."

"What's the cause?" Chen Jianguo asked doubtfully. "Do you already know the cause?"

Lin Feng nodded: "These patients are poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Everyone present was surprised. "What kind of poison?"

"A toxin extracted from poisonous mushrooms." Lin Feng explained, "This toxin affects the human nervous system, causing hallucinations and abnormal behavior."

The bespectacled old expert questioned: "Impossible! We have checked for all possible poisons and found nothing."

"Because this toxin is very special, it cannot be detected by ordinary examination methods." Lin Feng said, "Also, its toxicity has a certain incubation period, so it is not easy to detect."

"But how did these patients come into contact with the toxins from poisonous mushrooms?" Chen Jianguo was puzzled.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment: "This is not an accidental poisoning, but someone deliberately poisoned it."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene exploded.

"Poisoning intentionally? Who would do that?"

"This is too scary."

"Doctor Lin, are you sure?"

Lin Feng was unfazed by the crowd's doubts and continued, "The preparation process of this toxin is very complicated and requires professional knowledge and skills. Moreover, the method of poisoning is very covert and can cause poisoning without people realizing it."

"Then...how do we detoxify it?" Chen Jianguo asked worriedly.

"A special antidote needs to be prepared." Lin Feng said, "But it requires some special medicinal ingredients, and the preparation process is relatively complicated and will take some time."

At this moment, Wang Hao suddenly thought of something and pulled Zhao Mingxuan's sleeve: "Mingxuan, have you ever offended anyone?"

Zhao Mingxuan was stunned: "Offend someone? I... let me think about it."

Lin Feng glanced at Zhao Mingxuan and said, "This kind of poisoning is usually used by some ethnic minorities as a means of revenge. Mr. Zhao, has your family offended anyone?"

Zhao Mingxuan's expression turned ugly: "How...how did you know?"

"Tell me about it." Lin Feng said calmly.

Zhao Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "About three months ago, we purchased a batch of medicinal herbs in Yunnan. At that time, a local drug dealer said that the price we offered was too low and even threatened to make us pay a price. But I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just an angry remark."

"Yunnan?" Lin Feng pondered, "What nationality is that medicine dealer from?"

"It seems... it's from the Miao ethnic group." Zhao Mingxuan recalled, "There was also a translator present at the time."

Lin Feng nodded: "That's right. The Miao people have an ancient poisoning technique that can extract toxins from specific poisonous mushrooms. This toxin is colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect."

"Then...what should we do?" Zhao Mingxuan panicked. "We don't know where that person is right now."

"First, we need to find this person and stop him from poisoning people," Lin Feng said. "Second, we need to prepare an antidote to completely cure these patients."

Chen Jianguo asked anxiously: "Doctor Lin, do you have any solution?"

"There is a way, but I need your cooperation." Lin Feng looked at Chen Jianguo, "If this matter is not handled properly, not only will these patients be in danger, but your hospital's reputation will also be completely ruined."

"You say, we will fully cooperate." Chen Jianguo said firmly.

"First, we must suppress the news and prevent the media from knowing that the poisoning was intentional," Lin Feng said. "Tell the public that it's a new type of bacterial infection and that it's under control."

"This can be done."

"Secondly, immediately stop using items that may have been poisoned, including drinking water, food, medicine, etc."

"Ok."

"Finally, we need to find that Miao medicine dealer as soon as possible. Only by finding him can we completely solve the problem."

Zhao Mingxuan quickly said, "I can contact the translator at the time and ask him to help find someone."

"There's another question." Lin Feng looked at Chen Jianguo, "Preparing the antidote requires some precious medicinal materials, which is very expensive, and I'll need some time."

Chen Jianguo said without hesitation: "Cost is not an issue. Just tell us what you need. As for time, we will find a way to calm the patient's family."

"Okay." Lin Feng nodded, "I need seven days."

"Seven days?" Chen Jianguo was a little worried. "Can the patient's family wait that long?"

"I will first use acupuncture to control the patient's symptoms and allow them to return to normal temporarily," Lin Feng said, "but this is only a temporary solution, not a cure. An antidote is necessary to completely cure them."

Just then, Chen Jianguo's cell phone rang. He answered the call, his face becoming increasingly grim.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jianguo said with a wry smile, "There's trouble again. A reporter just came to the hospital to inquire about the situation. Although he was stopped by security, the news will probably spread soon."

"It seems we don't have much time." Lin Feng said, "How about this, I'll make a list of medicinal herbs first, and you send someone to purchase them immediately. At the same time, contact the translator and try to find the Miao medicine dealer as soon as possible."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Chen Jianguo said, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Doctor Lin, after this matter is resolved, I would like to ask you to serve as a consultant for our hospital. Regarding the shareholding issue..."

"Forget about the shares." Lin Feng waved his hand. "I'm not interested in running a hospital. But if you encounter any difficult cases in the future, I can help you take a look."

Chen Jianguo was a little disappointed, but still said, "That's fine, as long as you are willing to help."

Over the next few days, the hospital began to operate intensively. Chen Jianguo sent people to purchase medicinal materials, Zhao Mingxuan contacted the translator to find a Miao medicine dealer, and Lin Feng continued to give acupuncture to the patients to stabilize their conditions.

Wang Hao watched the busy crowd from the side and couldn't help but sigh: "Lin Feng, you are really amazing. You can even figure out such a complicated thing."

"It hasn't been completely resolved yet." Lin Feng said as he gave the needle, "The most troublesome thing is that Miao medicine dealer. If we can't find him, this kind of thing will continue to happen."

"Why do you think he did this? Just because of the price of the medicinal herbs?"

"Maybe it's not just a matter of price." Lin Feng pondered. "Some ethnic minorities are very respectful of their traditional medicinal herbs and believe they can't be sold to outsiders. Zhao Mingxuan and the others may have accidentally violated some taboo."

As he was speaking, Zhao Mingxuan hurried over. "Doctor Lin, the translator has news. The Miao medicine dealer is called Abu, and he's in the provincial capital. The translator said he's willing to see us, but there's a condition."

"What are the conditions?" Lin Feng asked.

"He wants to negotiate face to face with the person who poisoned him." Zhao Mingxuan swallowed. "The translator said that according to Miao customs, this kind of hatred can only be resolved face to face."
