We hope that our compatriots in the disaster area will be strong, overcome their suffering, and embrace a new life.
P.S.: Due to my limited abilities, the quality of my writing isn't very good, and everyone's continued support has warmed my heart. The latest chapters focus on the protagonist's efforts to save the health of people in the drought-stricken western regions, which also reflects my own aspirations. However, due to my writing style and abilities, the writing is not good, and the expression is unclear, leading some readers to post that they are finding it increasingly difficult to understand. I kind readers, please point out the problems in detail and guide me to correct these shortcomings. Please post in the comments, send me a private message, or join the group to help me. I genuinely want to write a good book and improve. Thank you everyone!

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Airport Pickup
Please remember our website domain name <www.NieS>, or search for "NieShu Novel Network" on Baidu.
Ye Zhaoxian brought a large group, making a total of sixteen people including himself. Lin Yao had contacted a car rental company yesterday and chartered a mid-range bus to pick them up from the airport. Neither Lin Yao nor Lin Hongmei spoke on the bus. Lin Hongmei leaned back in her seat to catch some sleep, while Lin Yao was lost in thought.
After acquiring the magical herb, Lin Yao's perspective and life goals have changed. He is no longer limited to being just an ordinary doctor; he can do much more.
I will still be a doctor, but no longer the kind of doctor who works in a hospital for their entire life.
Lin Yao's own life experiences and the social phenomena he saw on television and the internet taught him that some people shouldn't be saved; saving them would only cause more people to suffer or even lose their lives. Of course, Lin Yao wasn't inflexible. Sometimes, given his current weak social position and limited resources, he would occasionally be pressured to treat patients who were unwilling to be treated. However, he would never dedicate himself to saving them; at most, he would only cure the surface symptoms. Lin Yao was mentally prepared for this.
Lin Yao most wanted to save those who could truly benefit the general public, but he knew his current awareness wasn't high enough and he wasn't willing to help treat the sick. These people often had some power, and if he helped them, he would be labeled as a sycophant. Although he always defined himself as an ordinary person, Lin Yao also had his own pride, and he didn't want to be treated coldly.
While ordinary people should also be treated, their energy and time are limited, and the effect they can achieve is limited. So they might as well leave it to fate and their mood. After all, they have to live their own lives. Lin Yao didn't consider himself to be the reincarnation of Norman Bethune, so he didn't have such high expectations for himself.
If he has the ability, he is still willing to help these patients, but he needs to choose the right methods and approaches. He could extend the benefits to more patients by helping other medical workers, or he could help patients by producing cheaper and more effective drugs, as the burden of medicine and medical care for ordinary people is currently too high.
The work that my parents, Luo Jimin and Lin Hongmei, are currently engaged in is precisely the kind of work that best utilizes the power of herbs: producing effective medicines to save more patients. They are both people of high medical ethics, and they would never use the medicines they produce to seek exorbitant profits; this is truly working for the benefit of the people.
To expand and strengthen the business of inexpensive drugs, the company must be very large, which is almost unrealistic to rely on the parents' operating income. Operating according to their mindset, the scale would likely remain small even after a hundred years, because they are not ruthless enough; without exorbitant profits, they cannot accumulate the massive expansion funds. These issues need to be addressed elsewhere.
"Let's set up another company," Lin Yao thought to himself. He had been considering this idea for a long time. Only by establishing a highly profitable pharmaceutical company, earning money from the wealthy to raise funds, and then supporting his parents' business by funding Minhong Pharmaceutical Company, could he expand Minhong Pharmaceutical Company and better help ordinary people. Lin Yao planned to have someone else handle this matter, and Long Yihun was the best candidate. He would then enjoy the life of a doctor and an ordinary person.
"Mom, Long Yihun will be coming to Chengdu this afternoon to help us with the work. I plan to have him take charge of coordinating and cooperating with Ye Zhaoxian and the others." Lin Hongmei was already awake, and Lin Yao began to talk to her about work.
"Xiaolong is coming to help? That's great! We're short-handed. Xiaolong is a good kid, and your dad likes him too." Lin Hongmei really liked this young man who often came to visit. Having someone she could trust to help would relieve a lot of their pressure.
"In addition, after I told you that our family is short of funds, Long Yihun brought six million in cash, which should be transferred to the company account by tomorrow. Production funds should be fine for the time being." Lin Yao revealed his purpose and waited for his mother Lin Hongmei's reaction.
“Where did Xiaolong get so much money? Our production is likely to suffer losses, and he might lose money if he invests.” Lin Hongmei was surprised. Her primary concern was not that her family had temporarily solved their funding problem, but rather that she was considering the risks for others.
"Mom, have you forgotten that Long Yihun's grandfather is rich? Although his father has severed ties with his grandfather, he is still the grandson of the Long family, so he can still get this much money. This time, when he heard that our family has invested all our money to help the disaster victims, he insisted on contributing money to participate, saying that it doesn't matter if we lose everything, as long as it can help the disaster victims."
"This child is truly remarkable, possessing noble character." Lin Hongmei no longer objected. With a severe shortage of production funds and others eager to help the disaster victims, she didn't believe she had the right to refuse such assistance. She added, "Your father will be overjoyed to hear this. I'll tell him right away so he doesn't have to worry; he couldn't sleep a wink last night."
After saying that, Lin Hongmei picked up her phone and started dialing.
The airport pickup went smoothly. Ye Zhaoxian and his entourage were dressed simply and kept a low profile as they left the airport, which made Lin Yao even more excited about them. These people with status and influence were here in Chengdu to get things done.
When shaking hands, Lin Yao ordered Xiao Cao to pierce Ye Zhaoxian's palm through the Laogong acupoint to probe his physical condition. Xiao Cao was invisible and intangible, and it did not break the skin when it pierced the other's palm, as if it were a probe wave. Lin Yao felt that this ability was very useful.
The team of sixteen consisted entirely of young people in their twenties. They were visibly excited, eager to contribute to the disaster relief efforts. After a brief introduction, they urged each other to head to Chengdu immediately for a meeting to discuss important matters. This attitude greatly pleased Lin Hongmei and Lin Yao, who promptly arranged for them to get into the car without hesitation. Lin Yao also quickly contacted the Jinjiang Hotel to arrange a meeting room, as the hotel could provide a small conference room free of charge for their group meeting.
Xia Yuwen sat in an Audi A8, next to a capable middle-aged woman; neither of them looked very happy.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely find this doctor. Grandpa will stay in Chengdu for now. We'll go back to Beijing after we find the doctor to cure him. You don't need to worry," Xia Yuwen comforted her aunt beside her.
Xia Yuwen was feeling very upset. Last night, she came to the airport to pick up her grandfather, but unexpectedly, Lin Yao went to the hospital to help her maternal grandfather with his treatment, so they missed each other. After she and her mother, Duan Ruolan, settled her grandfather and aunt in, they rushed to the hospital, only to hear from her uncle that the young doctor said her maternal grandfather's illness was cured, and only a blood transfusion was needed.
After her grandfather's blood transfusion was completed, it was already late, so Xia Yuwen didn't contact Lin Yao. When she called early this morning, she was surprised to find the phone was disconnected. After checking, she discovered the owner had disabled the phone themselves using a password. Finally, the family, having no other option, called the numbers listed in Lin Yao's call history to try and find out who they were and their new contact information, only to be met with indifference.
No matter how much Xia Yuwen pleaded, no one offered help, and they even sternly questioned why she had their phone numbers and identities. This outcome only fueled Xia Yuwen's curiosity about Lin Yao's mysterious identity and made her anxious to find him, because her grandfather had come to Chengdu specifically to seek his medical treatment.
"Sigh... Since you all say that miracle doctor's medical skills are amazing, we must find him as soon as possible. Your grandfather's health can't be delayed any longer. The experts say his condition is getting worse and worse. Although he looks alright on the surface, his immune system has been severely damaged. We're only keeping him alive by secretly using cordyceps and ginseng." Xia Yuwen's aunt looked worried. She had come to Chengdu happily for treatment, but her condition had changed overnight. She couldn't help but feel a lot of resentment towards that arrogant, eccentric doctor, but she also hoped to find him soon.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Uncle has already arranged for people to investigate in every hospital in the city. As long as he works in any hospital in Chengdu, we can find him today. A doctor with this level of skill will stand out anywhere. In addition, I will also ask those experts across the country, and my dad will also try to find experts through his comrades in various military regions. I hope they can help us get in touch with that miracle doctor."
"In addition, the photos extracted from the surveillance video of West China Hospital have also been sent to the city's household registration department. The experts there will narrow down the search based on age and then compare the photos. I think they should be able to find the person," Xia Yuwen continued.
"That's the only way. Your uncle said that the divine doctor has a very strange personality. Will our high-profile search for him backfire and make him resentful?" Xia Yuwen's aunt was very worried. Using such methods to spy on others is despicable, especially when the other party is someone with great power.
"There's nothing we can do, Aunt." Xia Yuwen knew what her aunt meant. What they were doing would definitely offend the miracle doctor, but there was no other way. There were only a few call records for that phone number, and she couldn't find him in the vast sea of people except for the people in those records.
"Then let's look for it. Auntie has to go back to Beijing immediately. Let me know as soon as you have any news."
"Hmm." Xia Yuwen seemed preoccupied, and the image of the young doctor's serious and earnest face resurfaced in her mind.
After seeing her aunt off and going through security, Xia Yuwen prepared to leave before the plane took off. She was busy looking for someone, and her grandfather's condition was also very serious, even though he looked perfectly healthy.
As Xia Yuwen walked out of the waiting hall, absentmindedly, a figure suddenly flashed in her peripheral vision. She looked up and saw a young man boarding a bus in the distance, as if a familiar figure had just passed by.
Was it him? Xia Yuwen immediately became excited and ran towards the bus in the distance.
She had only run a few steps when the bus started up and sped away, leaving her no chance to even see the license plate. Xia Yuwen was starting to panic. Her Audi hadn't arrived yet, so she couldn't chase after it to see what was going on. Besides, at that distance, she hadn't even seen the young man's face clearly, only a vague sense of familiarity. The clothes he was wearing weren't the same as yesterday's; the color and style were different, making her think she might be hallucinating.
Shaking her head, Xia Yuwen pouted and stopped running. Suddenly, she felt a bit resentful towards the miracle doctor. This guy was acting like a secret agent. Her family wasn't going to eat him, so why was she avoiding him? Even though he was handsome, she wasn't trying to date him.
Handsome? Xia Yuwen was suddenly surprised by her own thought. Was he handsome? He seemed so…

"Why are we arranged here? We're here to support the disaster area, not for tourism."
The bus stopped in front of the Jinjiang Hotel. Before Ye Zhaoxian even got off the bus, he questioned Lin Yao with a serious expression. Several young people next to him nodded and stared at Lin Yao, waiting for his reply.
"Oh, is that so?" Lin Yao was overjoyed, immediately realizing that these young masters were genuinely there to help. Suppressing his joy, he adopted a respectful and honest attitude, replying, "Because you are distinguished guests and it's your first time in Chengdu, I arranged this place to welcome you. We feel bad that the conditions are poor; we just wanted to express our respect and welcome. My mother even criticized me for this. It was entirely my personal behavior, so please forgive me if I didn't do a good job."
Lin Yao thought to himself, "Let me be the bad guy. I still need to leave a good impression on my mother so that these rich kids won't make her suffer."
