Healing the sick and saving lives is the sacred duty of a medical practitioner.

Liu Zheng did not want to waste words with the other party, so he said to Elder Cheng, "The snake gallbladders you can buy are mostly from artificially bred snakes. The potency of these gallbladders is significantly weaker, so to treat President Qin’s illness effectively, we need a wild snake gallbladder."

Liu Zheng spoke with authority, and his words were utterly accurate.

The two people before him had also been immersed in the medical field for many years, so they knew he was not speaking falsely.

The middle-aged man couldn’t stump Liu Zheng, and he felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart.

He sneered and said, "Your words don’t mean much. Everyone knows that the medicinal effect of wild snake gallbladders is better and would greatly hasten President Qin’s recovery. But you have to be able to buy one first. What’s the use of boasting here if you can’t supply one? Do you actually have a wild snake gallbladder?"

After mocking Liu Zheng, the middle-aged man turned his head back contemptuously and continued to take President Qin’s pulse.

However, just as he had turned his neck, Liu Zheng had already taken out a snake from his carrying basket on his back.

This snake was the bamboo green pit viper he had killed earlier.

Originally, he had planned to take it home to brew into wine.

Only, in his rush to go out and sell goods, he had forgotten to leave it at home.

But as fate would have it, Liu Zheng hadn’t expected that by bringing the snake to the county, he would be able to save the life of a beautiful woman.

Holding the bamboo green pit viper in his hand, Liu Zheng took out a small knife. He located where the snake gallbladder was, made a slight cut with the knife to open the snake’s body, and with a slight movement of his fingers, he squeezed out the gallbladder.

The snake gallbladder wasn’t big, but it looked lush and vibrant.

The middle-aged man had not expected Liu Zheng to actually have a snake, and it really seemed to be a wild one.

At this moment.

Liu Zheng, holding the snake gallbladder, approached President Qin’s mouth, ready to burst the gallbladder and feed her the bile.

"Hold on."

Just as Liu Zheng was about to complete his action, the middle-aged man loudly interrupted him.

"Wait a moment, we’re not sure about this. First, let’s agree on a price for your snake gallbladder."

Upon hearing the interruption, Liu Zheng paused, not feeding the bile to President Qin.

Having his treatment interrupted, Elder Cheng’s face stiffened, and his eyes filled with anger.

"What are you doing? Don’t you know that a person’s life is at stake? At a time like this, you’re still worried about something like this."

"Elder Cheng, you are not aware, although it’s good that he is feeding medicine to President Qin now, who’s to say he won’t jack up the price later?"

His words indeed alarmed Elder Cheng.

Anxiety could not help but show on his face.

Hearing him speaking ill of himself, Liu Zheng’s expression grew even darker.

The guy kept on slandering him, which was truly infuriating.

With a cold face, holding the snake gallbladder, Liu Zheng approached President Qin’s lips again.

He said, "All right, you don’t have to worry about me suddenly raising the price, I won’t ask for a single cent for this snake gallbladder."

As he spoke, he directly squeezed the bile above the beautiful woman’s lips, letting the bile fall into her mouth.

Seeing his actions, both Elder Cheng and the middle-aged man were shocked.

They could not help but feel horrified.

However.

Especially the middle-aged man, who quickly leaned close to Elder Cheng, lowering his voice, and said, "Elder Cheng, there’s something not quite right about this. Look at this kid’s actions, don’t they seem off to you?"

As he spoke, he specifically pointed at Liu Zheng.

"I have a feeling that he may be sent by our arch-rival. He wants to cure President Qin and then claim that our Benevolent Heart Drugstore doesn’t have genuine products and lacks good physicians."

"This is definitely someone trying to ruin our reputation, no doubt about it."

Upon hearing his words, Elder Cheng couldn’t help but furrow his brow deeply.

"Cough cough cough..."

Just at that moment, the lying Qin Zong suddenly began to cough.

The beauty slowly came to and opened her eyes, glancing around.

At first, Liu Zheng was solely focused on saving a life, so he hadn’t paid any attention to how beautiful the woman before him actually was.

But now, the tense moment had passed.

As the beauty regained consciousness, Liu Zheng noticed for the first time that her facial features were exquisitely delicate.

To say that her appearance could topple cities and nations wouldn’t be an overstatement.

A pair of watery, large eyes and clear-cut pupils gave an extremely vivid impression.

Her nose was slightly upturned, her lips were lightly parted, and her brows were like distant mountains.

She wore very little makeup, but she looked more radiant than those with thick makeup.

Her slightly open mouth, not far from Liu Zheng’s gaze, was incredibly tempting, stirring in him an impulsive desire to go up and kiss her fiercely.

"Miss Qin, Miss Qin... You’ve finally woken up!"

Seeing Qin Zong finally awake, Elder Cheng was overjoyed, rushing to her side with a voice nearly breaking into tears.

As for what the middle-aged man had just said, it was already out of mind.

As long as Miss Qin was okay, nothing else was a problem.

The awakened beauty saw Elder Cheng, nodded slightly, and said, "Elder Cheng, I’m really sorry, it was my fault, I worried you."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, her delicate brows slightly knitted together.

Then she pursed her lips, closed them for a moment, then opened them again, revealing an expression of great discomfort on her face.

After that,

she looked at Elder Cheng and asked, "Elder Cheng, what medicine did you give me... why is it so bitter?"

Hearing her inquire about the medicine, Elder Cheng couldn’t help but smile and glanced at Liu Zheng beside him.

"Miss Qin, your condition was critical, and this young man here gave you a Snake Gallbladder to eat, which is what brought you back. Otherwise, by now you would probably have..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

Hearing that the young man before her had saved her life, Qin Zong immediately turned to look at Liu Zheng.

"Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I really would have been in danger today."

Qin Zong sincerely apologized and behaved very warmly and earnestly.

However,

seeing Miss Qin apologize to Liu Zheng, the middle-aged doctor beside them became visibly upset.

He shot a resentful look at Liu Zheng and then suddenly warned him, "Kid, let me warn you, you can’t go around bragging about saving Miss Qin today."

After a pause, he continued, "If you dare to talk about this everywhere, I will immediately go to the authorities and sue you for killing a protected animal."

Listening to the other party’s warning, Liu Zheng’s expression instantly darkened.

He looked coldly at the middle-aged doctor before him, an iciness apparent on his face.

"I really find it laughable. I’ve been named Liu for over twenty years, and now with just one word from you, my name has changed to Dong Guo. You really are something!"

Scornfully regarding the middle-aged doctor, Liu Zheng slowly stood up, "Today I happened to save someone. I didn’t do it for fame, nor do I want your money. It was a trivial matter to me; what reason would I have to go around bragging about it?"
