Volume 1: The Medical Practice Recognizes Its Master Chapter 25: Mother and Daughter Compete for Favor, The Painting Album Matter

  The powerful effect of the Five Needles of the Heart made Wu Rui stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and asked Peng Long: "Now, do you believe that those leaders from the Health Bureau will voluntarily withdraw their lawsuit?"

  "Hmm..." Upon hearing this, Peng Long felt a bit annoyed. Even his loyal subordinates had all returned to the right path, and it was likely that those from the Health Bureau had also repented and turned over a new leaf. If Wu Rui let them withdraw their lawsuit, they would naturally not disagree. His eyes quietly rolled around twice, and Peng Long hastily smiled in an attempt to curry favor: "Of course! Of course! I'll go have them withdraw the lawsuit right away!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Peng Long wanted to take the opportunity to leave the office. On the surface, he smiled and apologized, but in reality, he was secretly laughing. As long as he left, this kid wouldn't be able to do anything to him, even if he was being unreasonable. Peng Long naturally wouldn't obediently do things for Wu Rui, it was a matter of honor, if he listened obediently then how could he survive in E City?

  "Wait!" However, he had just taken two steps forward when Wu Rui's shout came from behind him, which made Peng Long's heart skip a beat and think that something was wrong.

  And the next moment, Wu Rui personally came to his front, and then Peng Long felt a numbness in his body. To his horror, he found that a silver needle was inserted into his chest. Thinking of the pain and reaction of Shen Ming and others earlier, Peng Long was thoroughly desperate. He didn't want to suffer that kind of pain, nor did he want to be made into a 'good person'.

  Since joining the Mountain Dragon Gang, Peng Long has not had a good impression of the two words "good person", and even hated them. Although he is now unscrupulous, he was once a pure and kind person. However, being a good person did not bring him good fortune, but rather endless misfortune. It wasn't until he "turned bad" that he gained his own identity and could even control the winds and rains.

  So Peng Long feared he would return to his true nature like Shen Ming and others.

  "Don't worry, this needle is different from the one just now." Just as Peng Long's face turned white, Wu Rui's words were like music to his ears. However, Wu Rui then added another sentence: "But in order to make you more energetic at work, I've improved your body a bit, guaranteeing that you'll be bouncing around within two days."

  Two days of being lively and active, but what about two days later, Wu Rui didn't say.

  "Can't it just not get better? Actually, my body is fine..." Peng Long almost cried out this sentence.

  Wu Rui put away the silver needle while asking Peng Long a question: "What do you think?"

  "I..." Peng Long was speechless, he wanted to cry, how did he offend such a devil? But out of fear, he still carefully asked: "What have you done in my body? What will happen two days later?"

  Wu Rui glanced at him and smiled happily: "Actually, it's nothing much, just added some stuff in, if two days later I don't lift the spell, your heart will shatter into pieces."

  "What if the heart pulse is broken?" Wu Rui said lightly, but Peng Long was startled and swallowed hard, asking: "What... what will happen after the heart pulse is broken?"

  "What's wrong? What else can we do after all that?" Wu Rui's smile was very innocent and harmless.

  “… Devil!” Peng Long heard this and immediately wilted, hoping to convince himself that the young man in front of him was exaggerating, but just as Wu Rui said, he suddenly felt a surge of powerful energy with his uninjured left hand. Seeing such a result, Peng Long not only didn't feel happy, but his face turned deathly pale.

  Wu Rui smiled and saw that there was still someone lying on the ground, who had been kicked by himself with a dislocated bone. At this time, he was trembling with fear all over his face and didn't dare to look at what was happening here. Wu Rui curled his lips and casually kicked him again.

  "Crack!"

  "Ah yo!" The severe pain made the big man scream repeatedly, but soon he found that his foot was fine! At first, he thought it was an illusion, but after pressing it with his hand, he found that it had actually healed. He was overjoyed and spoke incoherently: "I'm fine... I'm fine!"

  Although he had long known that Wu Rui was a ruthless person, Peng Long's heart still sank when he saw that his opponent could hurt someone with ease and also save someone with ease. He immediately took his men and bid farewell to leave, wanting to complete the tasks required by Wu Rui as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not feel at ease in his heart.

  As soon as Peng Long and his men left, Xiao Mi couldn't help but pop out from behind her mother's back, her face flushed with excitement, and exclaimed to Wu Rui: "Brother God is so amazing!!!"

  "That's for sure, Immortal Brother specializes in dealing with bad people!" Wu Rui accepted the little girl's praise without any modesty.

  At this time, Yang Xiang also came up with a blush on her face, looking embarrassed and saying: "Sorry, divine doctor, just now I..."

  "Don't worry, no one needs to compromise anything for me!" Wu Rui knew what she was going to say and immediately refused bluntly. Although he didn't know what the conditions of the Shan Long Gang leader were, judging from Yang Xuan's embarrassed attitude, he knew that the other party's conditions must be very harsh.

  “……Thank you!” Yang Xuan could only say these two words, her heart was racing like a deer, and her face was burning terribly. Especially when she saw Wu Rui and Xiao Mi playing together, Yang Xuan's heart kept fluttering, if they could be together like this, it seemed pretty good.

  With an aura of integrity and strength, his medical skills are incredibly mysterious. Although he is younger than herself, he is still a good choice for a husband. Yang Xuan knew that with time, Wu Rui would definitely rise to great heights, and by then, there would be many women around him. It's better to take advantage of the current situation and make him hers before it's too late.

  Yang Xiang felt like she had become a bad woman, but thinking it over and over again, in order to fight for her own happiness, what's wrong with being bad once?

  "It's getting late, I have to go!" After teasing Xiao Mi for a while, Wu Rui looked out at the darkening sky and took the initiative to bid farewell. Of course, he didn't turn around and leave immediately - after all, the medical bill hadn't been paid yet!

  However, Wu Rui didn't want to speak directly, so he just reminded Yang Xuan by saying goodbye: the medical bill hasn't been paid yet!

  "Ah……" Yang Xuan, who was deep in thought, was startled by Wu Rui's words. Seeing Wu Rui about to leave, she suddenly became anxious, but then a flash of inspiration struck her and she hastily said: "Divine Doctor, I haven't even made the painting album for you yet, how can you leave now?"

  "Album..." Yang Xuan's reminder made Wu Rui suddenly remember the purpose of his trip, and he slapped his forehead and asked: "Will you make it for me?"

  "Sorry, I thought you were a scammer before, so...". Yang Xuan brought up the embarrassing matter again, but quickly made amends: "Now I apologize for my previous suspicion, and I'm willing to make the album for free!"

  "Haha, it's good that I can make it, but how can it be free?" Wu Rui was delighted at the same time, and hurriedly refused. Free is good, but it owes people favors and goes against the rules of the door.

  "Master doctor, please don't refuse my sincere intention. The price of a few painting albums is only a few hundred yuan, and I don't know how to thank you if you can cure Xiaomi's illness. I hope the master doctor can accept!" Yang Xuan argued reasonably.

  "This...alright, thank you Miss Yang." Seeing Widow Yang's determined face, Wu Rui couldn't refuse either. Moreover, the cost of producing a few albums wasn't high, so after some consideration, he agreed.

  "The great doctor is highly respected, you can just call me Yang Xuan." Yang Xuan took the opportunity to bring the two closer together, but couldn't help blushing slightly.

  "Yang Xiang... you don't have to call me 'Divine Doctor' before and after, just call me Wu Rui directly!" Wu Rui had a good impression of Yang Xiang as well, and since the other person had even given him the "Hundred Herb Painting Album" for free, he couldn't let them address him so formally.

  "Is it Wu Rui? It's a great name." Yang Xuan smiled happily and praised.

  "Immortal brother, how should I address you?" At this time, the little girl couldn't help but interrupt, staring at Wu Rui with a pair of starry eyes.

  "Call Uncle Wu!" Yang Xuan blurted out an answer without thinking, and then looked back at Wu Rui with a guilty conscience.

  "I won't! I want to call Wu Rui brother!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Mi was not obedient to her and instead chose a nice-sounding title for herself.

  Yang Xuan's face changed greatly when she heard this. If her daughter really called Wu Rui "brother", what would happen in the future? She hastily instructed: "Xiaomi, listen to me, call him Uncle Wu, you can also call him Uncle Rui!"

  "Time to hand over to Brother Wu Rui!" But Xiao Mi was unusually stubborn this time and refused to listen.

  "Call Uncle Wu!" Yang Xuan glared with wide eyes, an absolutely not-allowed attitude. Now if she compromised once, there would be no way to change it later. How could a widow not worry?

  "I..." Xiaomi originally wanted to hold on, but seeing her mother raise her palm and put her gaze on her little butt, her momentum immediately weakened, and she could only reluctantly call out to Wu Rui: "Uncle Wu Rui, Mom is bullying me..."

  "Pfft!" Wu Rui couldn't help but laugh and patted the little girl's head, saying: "Xiao Mi, be good and listen to Mommy!"

  Yang Xuan secretly let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a bit embarrassed about being jealous with her daughter, and quickly changed the subject: "Wu Rui, let's go discuss the production of the painting album. I'll have my staff work overtime tonight to come up with a production plan, and we can start searching for pictures and rushing to produce it tomorrow."

  "Shennong Ben Cao Jing", the author is not only Shennong Emperor, but also a summary of the records of all generations of Shennong's successors. The whole book records 15,368 kinds of medicinal materials, including their properties.

  Due to the limited conditions, Wu Rui and Yang Xuan, along with her team of employees, decided to divide the entire "Baicao Huace" into two parts. First, they would create a common, easy-to-find, and special medicinal material painting album, such as ginseng and lingzhi, totaling over 1,000 species, which is expected to be completed within two days.

  The second part is expected to be completed at a later time, as some rare or uncommon species may take some time to find materials for, and may even require computer-aided hand-drawn creation. It's estimated that it can't be finished within ten days to half a month.

  Although Wu Rui was a bit disappointed, he was already very satisfied. After all, it's not easy to find tens of thousands of materials. If Yang Xuan hadn't helped out of gratitude, and if he had gone to other advertising studios for help, he might have been kicked out.
