Director Zhu was filled with an incredible sense of regret, but there was no such thing as a pill for regret in this world.
Yan Tianpeng laughed again and said, "Director Song, now that the old director is gone, naturally a new one must take his place. I think Dr. Sheng is quite suitable for the new director's role, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Director Song glanced at Liu Wentian, then at Sheng Qiani whose face had turned a bit red, and smiled with understanding. "Indeed, quite suitable, and also, Dr. Sheng happens to be from the sa departnt as Director Zhu, so, Dr. Sheng, co take over as the head of this departnt."
Yan Tianpeng smiled with satisfaction.
Sheng Qiani's face, however, did not show too much joy. For her, she was more interested in Liu Wentian's dical skills than the so-called directorship.
Yan Tianpeng looked at Liu Wentian cautiously and asked, "Young man, I want to ask, what illness did I have? Is it completely cured now?"
Liu Wentian replied, "It wasn't an illness, it was poison. The fact that you vomited blood had nothing to do with the hospital's dication, but rather just happened to coincide with the onset of the poison. The poison has been expelled now, so naturally, you're well again."
Yan Tianpeng's expression changed dramatically and he said, "How could I get poisoned for no reason?"
Liu Wentian said, "This poison is transmitted through food, and it's not very potent, hence difficult to detect. It only has an effect after being consud repeatedly and continuously over ti. So, whoever has been preparing your als every day during this period is who you should be looking for now."
Yan Tianpeng's face turned uglier with anger, and he exclaid, "So it was that damned whore. No wonder she insisted on going ho to eat every day, I thought she missed !"
His face shifting between shades, his eyes finally flashed with malice, but as he raised his head again, he was smiling and said, "Young man, I just heard your girlfriend call you Liu Wentian, that's your na right? If you ever need anything, feel free to co to , Yan Tianpeng. Here in Shenming City, I have so weight!"
After saying this, he gave Liu Wentian a gold-plated business card and then left in a hurry with Gang Jie.
Director Song and Director Zhu, who was filled with longing, also left the ward.
Sheng Qiani ca over and sighed to Liu Wentian, saying, "Yan Tianpeng has been said to have started seeing a young starlet recently, coming over to her place every night. It seems likely that she administered the poison. Now that he's going back, that woman is obviously not going to survive. Rumor has it that he has not a few lives on his hands. Although it's said that the woman isn't anything good herself, she is still a life after all."
She initially thought Liu Wentian would be sowhat uncomfortable upon hearing this since ordinary people would likely be shocked at learning soone might die because of their words. Unexpectedly, Liu Wentian was indifferent and said,
"While he was here in this ward, he was my patient, so I saved him. Once I step out of this door, he has nothing to do with . Whether he or that woman lives or dies has nothing to do with ."
Sheng Qiani was at a loss for words. She always felt that there was an evil aura about Liu Wentian, as if everything and everyone he was not interested in was aningless, unworthy of his attention.
Yet for so reason, Sheng Qiani found she didn't dislike this evil aura.
All of a sudden, Sheng Qiani blushed slightly and said, "They just mistook for your girlfriend earlier; why didn't you refute them?"
Liu Wentian scoffed, "Since it's not true, why bother refuting or explaining."
Sheng Qiani humphed dissatisfied, seemingly displeased with his answer. She continued, "Regardless, I owe you a favor."
"Actually, you can help right now. I need you to purchase so dicinal herbs for ."
Liu Wentian took out a list he had prepared earlier, on which were written the nas of so dicinal herbs. Sheng Qiani, surprised, took the list and said, "Ginseng, deer antler, Eucommia, Angelica, Astragalus... Liu Wentian, you want so many tonics, all with requirents for age, what do you need them for? Don't tell you're going to consu them? Aren't you afraid of over-nourishing yourself to death?"
Liu Wentian didn't bother to explain but only said, "Here is 100,000 yuan, buy as many as you can, and try to get the ones with better quality."
After giving her the money and leaving his address, he left.
Sheng Qiani watched his figure recede into the distance, murmuring, "All these tonics, what does he need them for? Could it be that his body is very weak? He's so mysteriously secretive; could it be kidney deficiency? And it must be quite severe; otherwise, he would have cured himself. Could it be... could it be impotence?"
As she thought this, her face flushed, "He seems so indifferent towards , could it be because of kidney deficiency and impotence, and then out of inferiority?"
Her face grew redder as she thought, then in the evening darkness, she drove straight to a well-known traditional pharmacy.

The next day, early in the morning at 8 o'clock.
Lian Tang Village housing complex.
This complex was predominantly ho to workers and clerical staff on the lower end of the pay scale. The residential buildings had weathered many years of wind and rain. The external walls were covered with dirt and dark yellow rust stains.
However, the rent was cheap; a single room could be rented for only about 500 a month, a rarity in the bustling Shenming City.
At that ti, a few elderly ladies were gossiping at the street corner, kids were chasing each other around, and several n in their underwear were playing cards and boasting under the trees.
Suddenly, a cyan Porsche drove in, and the crowd in the complex was abuzz. Who living here could possibly have such a wealthy relative?
Then the car stopped in front of Building 7. A long leg stepped out of the car, followed by a blonde beauty with a voluptuous figure and stunning looks. She had the allure of a Westerner combined with the gentleness of an Easterner.
"My gosh, whose daughter is this?? She's way too pretty, even more so than the stars on TV," an old woman said, stunned.
A young man who was wearing baggy shorts and slippers, boasting about the beautiful girl he scored last night, was dumbstruck. The cigarette hanging from his mouth fell to the ground unnoticed.
The others had more or less the sa reaction, especially the n, who practically had stars in their eyes. Yet, they didn't dare approach her, as a woman of such caliber was clearly out of their league.
At that mont, they all shared the sa puzzle—how could such a high-class woman appear in this run-down complex?
Sheng Qiani, unfazed by these admiring stares, approached the stunned woman watching her and said, "Hello, excuse , is this Building 7 of the Lian Tang Village complex? I'm here to find Liu Wentian."
"Ah? You're looking for... looking for Liu Wentian?" the older woman said, evidently taken aback.
Sheng Qiani had to repeat herself, "Yes, I'm looking for Liu Wentian. He gave this address."
Finally, the old woman snapped out of it, "Ah, right, right, this is Building 7 of the Lian Tang Village complex. Liu Wentian lives on the fifth floor, the first room as you go up the stairs."
Sheng Qiani nodded, said thanks, and then headed up the stairs.
Once Sheng Qiani was out of sight, one of the n seed to snap back to reality and said, "Damn, she's looking for Liu Wentian?? Seriously?"
The others also seed to disbelieve; how could the poor guy Liu Wentian land such a beauty?
"Damn, all the good seaweed's gone to the pigs!! A blonde bombshell with long legs, oh heavens!" one of the n lanted.
Liu Wentian, of course, had no idea he had beco the public enemy of the n in the complex. At that mont, he was astonished to see Sheng Qiani knocking at his door.
"Why have you co so early? Did you get the herbs?" Liu Wentian was curious, wondering if she had gone to buy the herbs last night and why she had co over so early in the morning.
Sheng Qiani smiled and replied, "I've got them, here, for you."
She handed over a large bundle to Liu Wentian and then curiously stepped into his small room.
The place was tiny, just a small single room with a toilet and a little stove.
There was just enough space for a bed and a computer desk, with one chair. Sheng Qiani had to be careful not to bump into Liu Wentian's bed as soon as she entered the room.
"So, aren't you a little unaccustod to such a cramped rental?" Liu Wentian said as he took the herbs, already thinking of Spirit Refinent. "If you're not comfortable, you might as well go back," he told Sheng Qiani directly.
Sheng Qiani gave him an annoyed look and said, "Are you in such a rush to get rid of ?"
She sat down on Liu Wentian's bed, then smiled and said, "Who said I'm not used to it? Do you think I've always been a pampered young lady? Although this place is small, it feels quite warm. It's just a bit ssy."
