Physician’s Odyssey

Chapter 566 - Planning a Trip to Russia


The next morning when sunshine shone on the emerald lake, it reflected a dazzling brightness.

During his morning jog, Su Tao purposely ran through here and finally found Yan Wujin, who wore a straw hat, dozing off as he fished. The fishing lure gently twitched as Su Tao stood to his right. He did not dare to speak out of fear that he might scare the fish off. After the fishing lure jolted for ten-odd seconds, Yan Wujin suddenly opened his eyes and his wrist gently trembled. The carp was flung high into the air before it realised that it had fallen for a trap, brandishing its tail as it radiated with splendour under the sunlight.

After pulling the rod back and grabbing onto the fish, Yan Yujin threw it into the basket beside him and commented, "Roughly 500g. It looks like there will be fish soup for Yan Sha later in the noon."

As Su Tao reminisced how Yan Wujin was fishing earlier, he exclaimed at how the latter had a good grasp of the opportunity. The fish was probing when the fishing lure twitched, and when the fish took the bait, Yan Wujin caught the fish by surprise with a good grasp of the opportunity. He's truly worthy of being a grandmaster martial artist. Even if he's already getting on his age and he has already declined from his pinnacle, his control has increased instead of decreased.

"Fish soup nourishes the brain, and Yan Sha has been studying lately. This dish is pretty good. You can add some beancurd in it to make it more refreshing." Su Tao smiled.

Throwing the bait into the lake once more, Yan Wujin asked, "How's the chat with your master last night?"

Su Tao naturally came to look for Yan Wujin on this matter as well, so he said, "She has already decided to make a trip to Russia to look for Yan Sun."

Yan Wujin's hand that was holding onto the fishing rod trembled as he sighed, "I understand her character. Over the years, she's the only one that believed in Yan Sun's survival, so she naturally has to make a verification when she finally got the news."

Falling into thoughts, Su Tao briefly paused before he said, "You seem to have a judgement on this matter!"

"I understand my son well. If he wants to return, he would've used all sorts of means to return by now." Yan Wujin wore a bitter smile.

"You're saying that he doesn't wish to return?" Su Tao asked as he further added, "Perhaps he might have some difficulties?"

As the fishing lure twitched once more, Yan Wujin ignored it and replied, "I know how skilled he is. As long as he's willing, he definitely has ways to make it back."

Noticing the disappointment in Yan Wujin's eyes, Su Tao commented, "But master won't give up on him!"

As Yan Wujin faced the sky and sighed, the fishing lure had already twitched for ten-odd seconds, but he still showed no signs of pulling the rod as he continued, "I initially wanted to bring him back even if I had to tie him up. But after considering it again, I did not find the need to do it anymore. Even if I tie him up and manage to bring him back physically, his heart won't be back. I won't stop Qinghan from going to find him, but she's a woman, and I'm really worried for her safety."

"I'll go to Russia with her. We can take care of each other that way." Su Tao had already made up his mind and revealed his plan, "I have friends in Russia, and master won't be blind in another country with me around."

Su Tao wasn't making things up. Not only did he have Vera in Russia, but Shui Junzhuo was there as well for diplomatic missions. If Jiang Qinghan went to Russia alone, she would definitely blindly wander around. But with him around, he would be able to borrow the Ormond Family's power and resources from China's Embassy to search for traces of Yan Sun.

Pondering over it for a long time, Yan Wujin ultimately nodded his head. "I will be more reassured with you around."

"But master has a stubborn character, and I'm afraid that she might feel that she's troubling me and rejecting me." Su Tao said, hoping that Yan Wujin could convince Jiang Qinghan.

Letting out a sigh, Yan Wujin replied, "I will talk to her about this matter, but she's a government official, and she will need to apply for a permit to travel overseas. I'm afraid that it won't be easy for her to obtain it."

"As for that, I will get it prepared." Su Tao promised with confidence.

Thus, Yan Wujin no longer spoke. The fishing float tensed up and was being pulled.

Once again, Yan Wujin's wrist trembled as a fish flew out from the lake and accurately fell into the basket. Glancing at it, Su Tao saw a grass carp and smiled. "If you continue fishing, you will be able to prepare a whole banquet of fish."

After obtaining Yan Wujin's support, Su Tao bade his farewell and jogged back to the Three Flavour Hall to begin his work today. The current Three Flavour Hall was very popular. Even before the pharmacy officially opened for business every day, there would be a long queue. Ever since Chu Huilin went to He City, Mo Sui'er naturally took over his position. In addition to experienced physicians being supplied by the Aqua Cloud Stream, the Three Flavour Hall's efficiency was high. Their customers broke through a thousand ever day. This could be acclaimed to a miracle since many people in the same profession would come and learn from them.

Naturally, many people tried to join the Three Flavour Hall under an alliance to borrow the fame of the Three Flavour Hall, but Su Tao would reject them without any hesitation. He had an accurate operation method of the Three Flavour Hall, and they must all be managed by him.

All his branches had to be managed by him, and every single employee was carefully selected to avoid chaos. Although an alliance was the fastest method to develop, it's also the most chaotic. The other party would only pay a fee to obtain your signboard, and they could operate their pharmacy; however, they want. If they made a mistake, then the Three Flavour Hall would take the blame for it.

When the patients got to know that Su Tao was here today, the popularity instantly soared. After Su Tao treated several patients, he noticed that they were all small illnesses like flu and was immediately puzzled before he called Xiao Jingjing over.

"Aren't there any patients with more serious conditions?" Su Tao wasn't putting on airs, but he felt that he should help those in need since it's rare for him to be around.

"Master, it's mainly because your reputation is too high. Even the many patients that are not ill would come over for you and try to catch a glance of you!" Xiao Jingjing helplessly replied as she continued, "Not only are they here to visit a doctor, but they're also here for their idol."

"In the future, you will have to filter them. Although we can't pick our patients as healers, we still have to guarantee efficiency." Su Tao bitterly smiled.

"Got it!" Xiao Jingjing replied with her face slightly blushed.

"There's nothing else; you can go do your stuff!" Su Tao smiled.

He knew that the reason why the Three Flavour Hall's headquarters was operating well was all due to Xiao Jingjing's contribution. Allowing any patient to come in was Su Tao's instructions since a healer must be fair and impartial to all patients, without making any distinction of social class. So now that he changed his idea, it's unavoidable for Xiao Jingjing to blame him for going back on his words.

Xiao Jingjing worked with great efficiency. She went out and explained the situation, which everyone was cooperative. Although some displayed their unhappiness, they were well pacified. Thus, the next few patients' conditions were more complicated as well, and Su Tao became more focused on treating them.

After a whole morning of work, only then did Su Tao finally take a rest and entered the kitchen, where Golden Tooth had already prepared dishes. Fan Lihua was currently arranging the bowls and chopsticks. Seeing how the two of them were happily chatting, Su Tao revealed a faint smile and felt that the two of them might have a chance together. Although Fan Lihua already had a daughter, Golden Tooth's appearance was a little ugly and also had quite a few bad habits. So if he gets together with Fan Lihua, it's the latter that would lose out instead.

At the same time, Miao Doudou returned from school. Her Big Foot Disease had already been treated. She carried a cute cartoon water bottle with her hair tied into a ponytail and was dressed neatly. She was drastically different from before.

"Doudou, how're your studies?" Su Tao asked when he noticed how she would sneak glances in his direction.

"Quick, tell Big Brother Su about it!" Fan Lihua instantly gave an order to her daughter.

"It's so much better, but still not ideal! I only scored around 80 for Language and Literature, around 90 for Mathematics, and about 80 for English." Miao Doudou spoke in embarrassment.

Su Tao knew how difficult it was for Miao Doudou since she couldn't go to school properly in the past due to her condition, and now that she became a student in the city, she would definitely have to work hard to catch up to everyone's pace.

"It's all thanks to Jingjing tutoring Doudou every day. Otherwise, Doudou would definitely not be able to catch up." Fan Lihua smiled.

Xiao Jingjing was a phoenix that soared out from the mountain, a genuine top student. Hence, there's naturally no difficulty for her to tutor a kid, so she smiled. "Aunt Fan, there's no need for you to be so courteous. We're a family, and I'm just doing my part!"

Hearing those words, Su Tao instantly felt warmth in his heart. Right now, the Three Flavour Hall has been genuinely turned into a big family and everyone has treated this place as their home. This was also what Su Tao has been trying to accomplish.

Putting a drumstick to Xiao Jingjing, Su Tao encouraged with a smile. "You've done well, and this is to reward you!"

"Biased!" Watching from the side, Mo Sun'er's face turned white from anger.

Placing a piece of chicken breast meat in Mo Sun'er's bowl, Liu Jianwei smiled. "Relax, chill."

Watching this scene, Su Tao inwardly sighed. Liu Jianwei made improvements. He's actually developing in the direction of a family-orientated man. That also meant that he had hope of finding a partner.

As for Xiao Jingjing, her face blushed a little as she placed the drumstick on top of the rice and she ate the rice but did not touch the drumstick.

Looking at her, Su Tao knew that it's hard to change a habit, and getting Xiao Jingjing to change her habit of eating more dishes instead of rice wouldn't be easy.

"Jingjing, you have to revise English whenever you're free." Su Tao placed another meatball in Xiao Jingjing's bowl.

Looking at Su Tao in puzzlement, Xiao Jingjing replied, "Master, my command in English has never dropped."

"That's good, but you have to deepen your command in it. As for the fees, the company will pay for you." Su Tao smiled.

He already decided in his heart that not only would Xiao Jingjing have to obtain more academic certifications, but his two other disciples would also as well.

As for academic certifications, he might be able to get them from He Deqiu. Although He Deqiu was a righteous person, he probably wouldn't reject helping fellow apprentices. Furthermore, Xiao Jingjing and the rest have just graduated, and as long as they work harder, it shouldn't be a problem for them to get into medical school.
