Upon hearing this, Shao Xinghe smiled happily. He liked talking to smart people who understood immediately without needing much explanation.

"We at Shiweitian have always been making beverages, but the response has been lukewarm. The other day I saw the beverages you made, Miss Lin, and I think we can collaborate again. What do you think, Miss Lin?"

Lin Shu knew that Shao Xinghe was indeed a businessman; his keen sense for discovering new things alone was enough to make him rich.

"If Mr. Shao is happy, then let's stick to the previous 30/70 split. What's Mr. Shao's decision?"

"Alright, then I'll eagerly await Miss Lin's masterpiece," Shao Xinghe said happily as he saw Lin Shu and her son off, having achieved his goal.

As soon as the two stepped out the door, they saw Jiang Mubai waiting outside.

Upon seeing Jiang Mubai again, Lin Shu was no longer as distant as before; a familiar look appeared in his eyes. "What's wrong? Have you encountered any troublesome problems?"

“You guessed right, but it’s not a new one. It was left at the entrance of Renyi Hall by Shantang about half a month ago,” Jiang Mubai said with some difficulty.

That's it?

"Why don't you just throw it back? Why make things so complicated?" Lin Shu said dismissively.

Jiang Mubai disagreed, "I've thought about that too, but that person's condition is very strange, so..." He became interested.

His words also piqued Lin Shu's curiosity, "What do you mean by that?"

Jiang Mubai pointed ahead, indicating that she should talk as they walked.

Lin Shu led Lu Zijin forward, with Jiang Mubai following behind. "The reason I took on this patient is because his symptoms are extremely rare."

“He was sometimes perfectly lucid, and at other times he would fall into a dazed state and do things that were completely contrary to his usual personality.”

"For example, a normally gentle and refined person might suddenly become irritable, easily angered, or even aggressive."

"But he had no memory of these actions after he woke up."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu couldn't help but ask, "Did Doctor Sun notice anything amiss?"

This was exactly what was troubling Jiang Mubai. "No, Dr. Sun said he's perfectly normal."

"Everything is normal?" Lin Shu repeated, his tone filled with confusion and doubt.

She stopped and turned to look at Jiang Mubai. "You mean, when that patient was conscious, his pulse and behavior were no different from that of an ordinary person?"

Jiang Mubai nodded, his expression grave. "That's why I found this matter strange, which is why I came to find you."

"Your medical skills are superb, and your treatment methods are unique. Perhaps you can see some clues?"

Hearing him say that, Lin Shu immediately became interested.

He quickened his pace without thinking, "Let's go take a look."

When the three arrived at Renyi Hall, Doctor Sun had been waiting for them for a long time.

Upon seeing Lin Shu again, he could not hide his excitement, after all, he had personally witnessed Lin Shu's medical skills in performing abdominal surgery to save lives.

The key point is that the person didn't die and is still alive and well. His medical skills alone are enough to earn his respect.

"Dr. Lin, you've arrived," Dr. Sun greeted him warmly.

Lin Shu nodded slightly to him, "Dr. Sun, where is the patient?"

“It’s inside, please follow me,” Doctor Sun led Lin Shu toward the inner cabinet of Renyi Hall.

Lin Shu asked Lu Zijin to wait outside, while he and Jiang Mubai followed Doctor Sun inside.

In the spacious room, a man dressed in rags, covered in wounds, and with a haggard face came into view.

The man was bound to the chair, his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes confused, as if two souls were fighting inside him.

Whenever he falls into that dazed state, the muscles in his face involuntarily contort, and his hands clench into fists, as if he is fighting against an invisible force.

Lin Shu approached, carefully observing the man's complexion and tongue coating, and then gently took his pulse.

Her brows furrowed more and more tightly. Her pulse was indeed no different from that of a normal person, but her expression was clearly wrong.

"Dr. Sun, do you know how long the patient has been in this condition?" Lin Shu asked.

"It's been about half a month," Dr. Sun replied. "At first, we thought it was just a common emotional disorder, but we tried a variety of calming and stabilizing prescriptions, none of which had a significant effect."

Lin Shu pondered for a moment, then turned to Jiang Mubai and said, "His condition doesn't seem like an illness, but rather like he's being controlled by someone."

"Being manipulated?" Jiang Mubai's expression changed drastically, and he said with some fear.

Lin Shu nodded slightly, "Aside from the weakness caused by the bleeding, he has no other illnesses."

"The reason for this situation has nothing to do with his own body; it's as if he had no choice but to do it."

"The reasons for this manipulation are nothing more than two: drug control and mind control."

"Then how should it be treated?" Jiang Mubai asked anxiously.

Lin Shu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Let's try our luck to cure it."

...Jiang Mubai's lips twitched slightly. Doctor Lin was really humorous.

As Lin Shu spoke, he took out several silver needles and inserted them into the patient's acupoints to temporarily calm his mind and reduce his irritable behavior.

Her technique was skillful; the silver needles flew swiftly, precisely piercing several key acupoints on the patient's head.

As the silver needles were inserted deeper, the struggle on the man's face gradually subsided, and his dazed eyes regained some clarity.

Lin Shu took the opportunity to talk to him, trying to get him to tell him more about his condition.

But this person's willpower was too strong. No matter how Lin Shu questioned him, he still stubbornly refused to speak.

This sight once again piqued Lin Shu's interest; he never expected that an ancient person could possess such a strong will.

After the patient fell into a deep sleep, Lin Shu looked at Jiang Mubai with a complicated expression.

"Master Jiang, someone who can be controlled by such a complex technique must have an extraordinary background. Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?"

Jiang Mubai was well aware of what Lin Shu had said.

"How could I not know what you're talking about? But am I really going to just stand by and watch him die at my doorstep?" Jiang Mubai said helplessly.

Lin Shu was taken aback. She hadn't expected Jiang Mubai to have such a 'compassionate heart,' but to her, it was just stupidity.

Saving someone whose background you don't know will only bring you trouble.

As Lin Shu spoke, he reached out and pulled out the silver needles used to test his body in order to determine whether he was being controlled by mind or drugs.

When she saw the tip of the silver needle turn black, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Mubai.

Jiang Mubai was also stunned and muttered, "He's being controlled by drugs."

Lin Shu put away the silver needles and looked at him with a serious expression. "Now that the diagnosis has been confirmed, do you still plan to continue treatment?"

Jiang Mubai hesitated when he met Lin Shu's gaze.

Regardless of this person's identity, the fact that someone could use such mysterious manipulation techniques to deal with him is enough to prove that he is no ordinary person.

Just as the two hesitated, Lu Zijing's voice suddenly rang out, calling out clearly, "Uncle Ye."
