I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

He didn't finish, but the threat was clear.

At this time, Wang Jian finally realized that he had indeed been set up and was now in danger.

"Lin Chen, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

"It's okay." Lin Chen patted Wang Jian's shoulder, then looked at the people gathered around him, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, no one of you can leave today!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Chen had already moved. Chapter 1

Back at the old man's house, Chen Mo told him in detail what had just happened. After listening, the old man showed a look of guilt on his face.

"Young man, I'm the one who got you into trouble." The old man stood up and walked into the inner room. "I have a hundred-year-old ginseng here that I wanted to keep for self-defense. Since you've offended the Wang family because of me, I'll give it to you."

Chen Mo quickly waved his hand: "Old man, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept this ginseng."

"Why? This is a good thing." The old man was puzzled.

"Because it's such a good thing, I can't just take it for free." Chen Mo looked at Liu Ying, "Miss Liu, name a price and we'll buy it."

Liu Ying understood Chen Mo's intention and nodded, "Old man, please name a price."

The old man couldn't refuse, so he sold it to Liu Ying at the market price. Then, the old man took out a few more bags of herbs and said, "I've collected these in the mountains over the years, and some of them are quite old. Since you know medicine, take them all."

Chen Mo carefully examined them and found that they were all precious medicinal herbs. He was secretly delighted. With these, he could not only take care of Mr. Liu's health, but also refine some pills for future use.

"Old man, what are you doing?"

"I've been collecting herbs in the mountains since I was young, and I've done nothing else in my life." The old man sighed, "Now that I'm old, it's inconvenient for me to go up the mountain, so these herbs are just sitting there for the rest of my life."

Chen Mo's heart moved: "Old man, are you willing to teach me your experience in collecting herbs?"

"Do you really want to learn?" The old man's eyes lit up. "Young people nowadays don't have the patience to learn this."

“Of course I want to learn.”

The old man patted Chen Mo's shoulder happily and said, "Okay, I'll take you up the mountain someday."

Back at the Liu family, Chen Mo prepared a new prescription for Mr. Liu. With the addition of those precious herbs, the effect of the medicine was much stronger than before.

The next morning, Mr. Liu felt much better and his appetite improved.

"Doctor Chen, this medicine is truly miraculous." Old Master Liu praised sincerely.

Liu Ying watched from the side and admired Chen Mo even more.

However, what surprised Chen Mo was that the Liu family did not mention a word about the Wang family's visit yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Mo felt a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. After all, this was someone else's family affair, and it was not appropriate for an outsider like him to interfere.

Liu Ying seemed to see Chen Mo's doubts and said to him privately: "My grandfather doesn't want to cause any trouble, so he told the family not to mention this matter."

"I understand." Chen Mo nodded.

As she was speaking, the housekeeper hurried over and said, "Miss, there are a few people outside who want to see Dr. Chen."

Liu Ying frowned: "Who is it?"

"He said he was from a medical association and had his ID in hand."

Chen Mo and Liu Ying looked at each other and walked out.

There were three middle-aged men sitting in the living room, dressed in suits and looking quite prestigious.

"Excuse me, who is Dr. Chen Mo?" The leading man stood up.

"It's me." Chen Mo looked at these people and felt alert.

"I'm President Zhang of the Municipal Traditional Chinese Medicine Association, and these two are my colleagues." President Zhang handed over his business card. "We're here today to learn about Dr. Chen's lineage."

"Master?" Chen Mo took the business card. "Any questions?"

"It's like this. Someone recently reported that Dr. Chen's medical skills were of unknown origin, and they suspected he had stolen some secret medical manuals from some aristocratic family." President Zhang said seriously, "As a medical association, we have an obligation to investigate thoroughly."

Chen Mo sneered in his heart, it turned out that it was the Wang family who was behind this.

“So how do you want to investigate?”

"Please show me your master's certificate, or relevant study certificate, Dr. Chen."

"What if I say I am self-taught?" Chen Mo asked calmly.

The three exchanged glances, and President Zhang shook his head. "Doctor Chen, the level of medical skills you've demonstrated is definitely not something you could achieve through self-study. If you can't prove your lineage, we suspect you've indeed stolen the Wang family's medical secrets."

"Wang family?" Chen Mo smiled. "What secrets does the Wang family have? I'd like to see them."

"Doctor Chen, please cooperate with our investigation," another person said in a harsh tone. "If it is confirmed that you have indeed stolen other people's medical research, the consequences will be serious."

Liu Ying was listening nearby, her face pale with anger. "What evidence do you have to say that Dr. Chen stole some secret manual?"

"Evidence?" President Zhang sneered. "A young man with no background suddenly showing such superb medical skills is inherently suspicious. And from what we know, some of the prescriptions used by Doctor Chen are very similar to those inherited from the Wang family."

"Similarity means stealing?" Chen Mo asked back, "Then I said you guys look like my neighbor's dog."

"You!" The three of them changed their expressions.

"Doctor Chen, please be careful with your words." Chairman Zhang suppressed his anger. "We are conducting a legitimate investigation."

"Legitimate?" Chen Mo stood up. "Then please show us the investigation warrant and the evidence of your report. Otherwise, please leave the Liu family."

The three men obviously did not expect Chen Mo to be so tough and were caught off guard for a moment.

Chairman Zhang calmed down and sat down again. "Doctor Chen, we don't mean to embarrass you. We just want to clarify the facts."

"What facts do you want to clarify?" Chen Mo asked coldly, "How did I acquire my medical skills? Do I need to report this to you?"

"Of course," the third person said, "according to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Law, anyone practicing medicine must have legal qualifications and proof of apprenticeship."

Chen Mo's heart moved. This man spoke very logically and was obviously well prepared.

"So how should I prove it?"

"It's simple. Either show us your master's certificate or take the exam we organize." A hint of pride flashed in President Zhang's eyes. "If you pass the exam, we will naturally clear your name. If you fail..."

“What if it doesn’t pass?”

"That means there are indeed problems with your medical skills and further investigation is necessary."

Liu Ying listened from the side, knowing full well that this was a trap. No matter which option Chen Mo chose, he would fall into the trap.

"Doctor Chen, what do you think?" President Zhang urged.

Chen Mo was about to speak when the housekeeper came in again: "Miss, there is another guest outside, who said he is from a pharmaceutical company."

"Who is it again?" Liu Ying frowned.

At this time, two people walked in, a man and a woman, both in their thirties. The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined; the woman wore a professional suit and had a capable temperament.
