Chapter 1979: Chapter 1962: Five Poisons Cult (Part 2)

"You say our Chen Yang’s medical skills are those of a quack, then doesn’t that mean you so-called overseas returnees are even worse than a quack?" Wu Kexin continued.

Dr. Wang was left speechless, embarrassed to the core, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

"Fine, well done, since you’re all so capable, there’s no need for me to come all this way to find discomfort. I’ll just leave." Dr. Wang forcibly shifted focus, made a couple of harsh remarks for show, and immediately slunk away with the other doctors.

Although he lacked morality and skills, he still had intelligence.

Knowing there was no path other than losing face if he stayed, he hurriedly left. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Mayor, this..."

Seeing Dr. Wang run off, the town’s doctors thought they should politely try to retain him, after all, he’s someone sent down by higher authorities.

But the mayor just waved him off.

"Let such people go if they want, saves us from further annoyance. They think that reading for two years has made them superior." The mayor said disdainfully.

The town doctors smiled at his words and said no more.

Each resumed their duties, continuing to treat the patients.

After resolving the issue, Chen Yang and the mayor stepped outside.

With Chen Yang having been a great help to the mayor, he naturally extended sincere gratitude once they were outside, exchanging pleasantries.

"Mayor, no need to be so polite with us, besides, we’re neighbors, helping out is the right thing to do." Chen Yang waved his hand, not taking the previous events to heart.

Seeing this, the mayor’s face broke into a smile.

"Alright, Mayor, from now on, just follow the method I provided to medicate the patients. If the medication runs short, you can fetch some from the pharmaceutical factory in our village," Chen Yang instructed.

"Alright, I will follow the method you provided. I no longer believe in the provincial doctors." The mayor said with a smile.

Chen Yang smiled without a word, exchanged a couple of simple courtesies, and then left the house alone, heading to the village office.

As the cause of the issue hadn’t been investigated, the secret agency would continue to use this Linghe Village office as a temporary headquarters, stationed there.

Chen Yang went to the village office and found Ma Jiantao to gather some information about the Five Poisons Cult.

From yesterday’s conversation, the Five Poisons Cult seemed like an extremely deranged organization, that found pleasure in spreading diseases.

Since they came to their town, Chen Yang was naturally quite concerned.

After all, Liuhe Village wasn’t far from here, any incident could spell trouble.

"Strangely, normally, after the Five Poisons Cult releases a disease in one area, it would spread to other nearby places. But this time, they seemed to have changed their ways and haven’t harmed other places." Ma Jiantao explained the situation from last night.

Last night, they had meticulously deployed personnel in the villages surrounding Linghe Village, focusing on monitoring the area.

But they found nothing, with no discoveries made.

"Perhaps this Five Poisons Cult got wind of your presence and chose to leave early," Chen Yang speculated.

"Hmm, that is indeed possible," Ma Jiantao acknowledged.

"So what are your plans moving forward?" Chen Yang asked about the next steps.

"Let’s wait a few more days. If there’s no activity in the coming days, I assume nothing more will occur, and I’ll withdraw my team," Ma Jiantao replied after some thought.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded, and after chatting with Ma Jiantao for a while longer, he left Linghe Village and drove home alone.

With the scenic area closed, the village had grown much quieter.

Apart from the villagers, there were barely any tourists, seemingly reverting to the days of a quaint village.

"Hey, Yang Zi, didn’t you head to Linghe Village with the village head early in the morning? How come you’re back already?" Chen Yang was walking down the village street when he encountered Wang Hong.

"Just got back from Linghe Village," Chen Yang replied with a smile, his eyes instinctively glancing over Wang Hong’s voluptuous body.

As the village’s conditions improved, Wang Hong’s charm grew more alluring.

She seemed to match Yang Caiyun in appeal.

Whether intentional or not, as she approached, Wang Hong fanned herself with one hand, wafting waves of fragrance mingled with the warmth toward Chen Yang.

"So you’re back, how are things over there? Have they stabilized? These diseases are terrifying, I’ve heard a lot of people died, is it true?" Wang Hong asked with utmost curiosity.

"The situation is reasonably stable for now, and the news about deaths is false. There haven’t been any deaths so far." Chen Yang gave a brief update.

Initially, Wang Hong’s expression showed signs of concern and fear when discussing Linghe Village. But upon hearing that no one had died and the situation was stable, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"That’s good, our two villages are just ten miles apart. If things went awry there, our village would probably be in trouble too," Wang Hong remarked.

"Yes, although the situation is under control, Aunt Wang, it’s still wise to spread the word around the village. Remind everyone to be cautious and avoid touching unidentified objects, as it’s better to be safe in such circumstances."

Wang Hong was known as the village gossip, so having her spread the message would ensure the whole village knew within hours, more effective than anything else.

"Hehe, you’re right. I just happen to be heading toward the village entrance, I’ll spread the word," Wang Hong chuckled, agreeing to the task.

Chen Yang nodded and then took his leave.
