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

Wang Mingde shook his head. "I don't know the details, but I heard they tricked people onto an island and had these Chinese medicine practitioners treat some strange patients, calling it academic research..."

"Strange patient?" Lin Feng keenly grasped the key words.

"Yes, it is said that the symptoms of those patients are very strange, and they don't seem to be naturally caused." Wang Mingde lowered his voice, "I suspect that those people's diseases are artificially created..."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. If this was true, then this so-called academic exchange meeting was terrible.

"Mr. Wang, how long has your friend been gone?"

"It's been half a month. They said they would be back in a week." Wang Mingde sighed, "I've called the police, but the island is on the high seas, and the police can't do anything..."

Lin Feng fell into deep thought. It seemed that this matter was much more complicated than he had imagined.

Three days later, Lin Feng received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Doctor Lin, I'm Lao Chen, Wang Mingde's friend. Do you still remember me?" A weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Chen? Didn't you go to attend an academic exchange meeting?" Lin Feng immediately became alert.

"I... I escaped..." Old Chen's voice trembled. "Doctor Lin, the situation on that island is very strange. You must not go there!"

"Where are you now?" Lin Feng asked.

"I'm at the Municipal People's Hospital. I was just rescued by a fishing boat..."

Lin Feng immediately rushed to the hospital and found Lao Chen in the emergency department. This old Chinese doctor, who had been so energetic, now looked haggard, with fear in his eyes.

"Old Chen, what happened?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

Old Chen looked around and confirmed that there were no outsiders. He lowered his voice and said, "That island is not an academic exchange meeting at all, but a trap!"

"trap?"

"They tricked dozens of us traditional Chinese medicine practitioners onto the island and locked us up in a closed building, asking us to treat and prescribe medicine to a few patients every day..." Old Chen's hands were shaking. "But those patients...those patients weren't suffering from normal illnesses at all!"

Lin Feng's heart sank: "What do you mean?"

"Their symptoms were all very strange, and their condition changed very quickly. A medicine that worked today would be completely ineffective tomorrow," Lao Chen recalled. "And those people had empty eyes, as if they were being controlled..."

"Then how did you escape?"

"After I realized something was wrong, I've been looking for an opportunity. The night before last, while the guards weren't paying attention, I jumped into the sea and escaped. I drifted on the sea all night before being rescued by a fishing boat..." Old Chen grabbed Lin Feng's hand, "Doctor Lin, you must be careful. They will definitely look for you again!"

Lin Feng nodded, already having a plan in mind.

After returning to the clinic, Lin Feng began to analyze the entire situation carefully. Huaxia Biotechnology, the Wang family, this so-called academic exchange conference, and the mysterious island... there must be a connection between these things.

While I was thinking, Li Xiaoya came again, and this time her expression seemed a little anxious.

"Doctor Lin, what are your thoughts? The seminar will begin tomorrow..."

"I'm not going." Lin Feng refused directly.

"Why? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..." Li Xiaoya still wanted to persuade.

"Because I know what you want to do." Lin Feng looked at her coldly, "Old Chen has escaped and told me everything about your island."

Li Xiaoya's face turned pale in an instant: "You...what are you talking about? I don't understand..."

"I don't understand?" Lin Feng sneered. "Then let me ask you, why haven't the traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who attended the seminar returned yet? Why are they being held captive on the island? And who are those so-called patients?"

Li Xiaoya took a few steps back, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes: "Doctor Lin, you misunderstood, we really just want to have an academic exchange..."

"Enough!" Lin Feng stood up. "What do you want? Do you want the medical book in my hand, or do you want me?"

Li Xiaoya bit her lip, as if she was trying to make a decision. After a while, she suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Since you already know, I won't pretend anymore." Li Xiaoya's voice turned cold. "Lin Feng, we must get the medical book in your hand!"

"What medical book? I don't have any medical book at all!" Lin Feng said angrily.

"Stop pretending! Everyone in the Wang family said you stole their Shennong's Herbal Classic." Li Xiaoya sneered, "That's a priceless ancient book. Do you think you can keep it all to yourself?"

Lin Feng finally understood that all this was the work of the Wang family. They fabricated a medical book that didn't exist, and then used these people to kill him.

"You've been deceived by the Wang family." Lin Feng said, "I don't have any 'Shennong Herbal Classic Annotations' at all. That's just a lie made up by the Wang family."

"Fabricated?" Li Xiaoya clearly didn't believe it. "Then where did you learn your medical skills? How come you can cure so many difficult and complicated diseases?"

Lin Feng was unable to explain his system and could only say, "My medical skills are the result of my own research and have nothing to do with the Wang family."

"Whether you admit it or not, our plan will proceed." Li Xiaoya took out her cell phone. "Since you are unwilling to cooperate, we can only use other methods."

Lin Feng's heart was filled with alarm and he immediately rushed to the door, but there were already several men in black standing outside.

"Doctor Lin, you'd better come with us." One of the men in black said coldly.

Lin Feng knew he was no match for his opponent if he fought head-on, so he could only cooperate temporarily. He was taken to a black business car and driven directly to the airport.

On the plane, Lin Feng was assigned a window seat, with Li Xiaoya sitting next to him.

"Doctor Lin, don't be nervous. We just want you to participate in a small medical experiment." Li Xiaoya regained her previous gentle expression. "As long as you cooperate, you will be able to go home soon."

"Medical experiments?" Lin Feng sneered, "You tricked those Chinese medicine practitioners onto the island just to conduct experiments?"

"You can understand it this way." Li Xiaoya nodded. "Our company is developing some new drugs, and we need the cooperation of traditional Chinese medicine to verify their effects."

"Using human bodies for experiments?" Lin Feng said angrily, "You are committing a crime!"

"Crime?" Li Xiaoya laughed. "On the high seas, no one can control us. And those experimental subjects are all volunteers..."

"Voluntary? Lao Chen said their eyes were empty, as if they were being controlled!"

Li Xiaoya's expression became a little unnatural: "That... that might be the side effect of the medicine..."

Lin Feng stopped talking and began to think about ways to escape. But at an altitude of 30,000 feet, he didn't have many options.

A few hours later, the plane landed at a small airport. Lin Feng was taken on a speedboat and headed out to sea.
