"You mean you know Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Mu Chi Ningyun paused.
"How could I possibly know Traditional Chinese Medicine? It's profound and vast. Without a certain talent, one can't even grasp the basics. But, it's alright. I know a few old TCM practitioners. We'll have them prescribe a few batches of herbal medicine. I guarantee your father will be bedridden for months. When you've secured your position as leader, he'll miraculously get up and walk again, and you can return the leadership to him. Perfect," Chen Feng explained with a serious expression.
"That idea has merit. But how can you invite old TCM doctors over when you can't leave the depths of the primeval forest?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked with concern.
"That's not a problem. I can have the old TCM doctors send me the prescriptions via WeChat, and I'll prepare them here," Chen Feng replied calmly.
"What? You'll prepare the prescriptions yourself? Didn't you just say that Traditional Chinese Medicine is profound and vast, and ordinary people can't handle it? You're not a TCM doctor, how can you prepare them?" Mu Chi Ningyun asked, full of confusion.
"It's nothing much. I learn things quickly. As long as I see a prescription, I can basically prepare it. Of course, I can't develop the prescriptions myself, as I'm not a TCM doctor. But I can still find the herbs according to the prescription," Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Deputy County Magistrate Chen, I'm just realizing now that you're a jack of all trades. You're proficient in every field. With you here, the Xie Gu Miao tribe is in safe hands," Mu Chi Ningyun exclaimed excitedly.
"Alright, Miss Mu Chi Ningyun. Since we've agreed, we must act quickly. As you said, your father only gave you three days. You must have your father step down within three days. So, now we two must divide the tasks. I'll handle the Chinese medicine, and you find a way to make your father drink it." Having said that, Chen Feng wasted no more time and immediately used WeChat to ask the old TCM doctor to send the prescription for faking illness for a month.
The old TCM doctor was not hesitant and sent the prescription to Chen Feng immediately. If it were anyone else, the old TCM doctor would truly not have felt at ease sending such a prescription. This prescription was not an ordinary one; it was a prescription for faking illness for a month. Anyone with half a brain would know this was for doing something bad. However, the person requesting the prescription was Chen Feng. If anyone were to say Chen Feng harmed others, he wouldn't believe it. Those who knew Chen Feng knew that Chen Feng had been framed countless times while trying to help others. Every time Chen Feng managed to establish a foothold in the political arena, he would be relegated to the grassroots due to helping others. Yet, Chen Feng showed no regret, starting again from the grassroots and still adhering to helping others with loyalty. While everyone else in the world was doing bad things, Chen Feng would absolutely never do bad things.
In a short while, Chen Feng received the old TCM doctor's prescription. The prescription had many words, but it didn't stump Chen Feng. Chen Feng only needed to read it once to know which Chinese medicinal herbs were on the prescription. Furthermore, the medicinal properties of the herbs were clear, as was the dosage. Chen Feng thought to himself that Traditional Chinese Medicine was a rigorous matter, and the dosage must be prepared exactly as written on the prescription, without the slightest deviation. With careful preparation, the medicinal effects could be fully realized.
"Mu Chi Ningyun, the medicine is ready. You can find an excuse to have your father drink it." After brewing the herbal medicine, Chen Feng went to find Mu Chi Ningyun immediately.
"Deputy County Magistrate Chen, I think we should forget it. You're not a TCM doctor, and your medical skills are practically nonexistent. If you miscalculate, and something happens to my father, it will be too late to regret," Mu Chi Ningyun asked with a look of doubt at the herbal soup in Chen Feng's hand.
Chen Feng didn't waste words and directly drank half of the medicinal soup. The whole bowl of soup could make someone bedridden for a month. Half the soup would make someone bedridden for half a month. Mu Chi Ningyun was not a fool; half a month would be enough time to resolve the matter. Since this was the case, he would drink half the soup to prove to Mu Chi Ningyun with facts that this soup would not be fatal.
"Deputy County Magistrate Chen, what is this?" Mu Chi Ningyun looked at Chen Feng with surprise.
"Didn't you worry that this soup would kill your father? I'll drink half to show you," Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Deputy County Magistrate Chen, actually, you really didn't need to do this." Mu Chi Ningyun looked at Chen Feng with admiration. His actions were too decisive, swift, sharp, and accurate. Most people would offer a lot of explanations for such a matter, but Chen Feng simply let the facts speak for themselves. From another perspective, Chen Feng was truly risking everything for the sake of the common people. Who would dare to lie in bed for half a month for such a matter?
"As long as we can prevent the Western multinational corporations from smuggling rare earth elements, anything is worth it," Chen Feng said earnestly.
"Deputy County Magistrate Chen, I am completely convinced. Don't worry, I will ensure my father's wrongdoing is not successful with a hundred percent certainty." With that, Mu Chi Ningyun picked up half a bowl of herbal soup and went to find her father.
"Ningyun, what is this?" The tribal chief asked Mu Chi Ningyun with a puzzled look.
"Dad, this is a nourishing soup that I personally brewed for you. After three days, when the Western multinational corporations transport the rare earth elements out, you will become rich overnight. With so much money, how can you do without a good body? You must drink this nourishing soup." Mu Chi Ningyun said with feigned composure.
"My daughter truly has foresight. Now that I'm about to have money, I certainly need to nourish my body. Indulgence also requires a good body. I must drink this soup of yours." The tribal chief said with excitement. After speaking, the tribal chief drank half a bowl of the nourishing soup in one gulp.
Next, everything unfolded exactly as predicted. The tribal chief directly collapsed onto the bed. He could speak, but he couldn't move from the bed.
"Ningyun, what are you doing?" The tribal chief angrily questioned Mu Chi Ningyun.
"Dad, I cannot let you be a traitor! Therefore, I want to be the tribal chief. Don't worry, I will return the position of tribal chief to you after the Western multinational corporations leave." Mu Chi Ningyun said with a serious expression.
"Mu Chi Ningyun, has your brain gone crazy? I am your own father, and Chen Feng has only known you for a few days! How could you do this to your own father for a stranger?" The tribal chief wished he could hang Mu Chi Ningyun up and beat her.
"Dad, no matter how much you scold me, no matter how you misunderstand Chen Feng, I will not let the Western multinational corporations take away even a single ounce of rare earth elements. The rare earth elements from our Xie Gu Miao tribe's land are the rarest of the rare earth elements, and they absolutely cannot fall into the hands of foreigners." Mu Chi Ningyun said with firm resolve.
"Ningyun, as you said, we are the Xie Gu Miao tribe. The Xie Gu Miao tribe slaughters without batting an eye. For the sake of becoming rich overnight, a mere traitor is acceptable!" The tribal chief tried to persuade Mu Chi Ningyun.
"Dad, why aren't you awake yet? For thousands of years, why has the territory of the Xie Gu Miao tribe been shrinking? Why are we finally forced to hide in the depths of the primeval forest? Isn't it because we went against the current? We are no longer in a primitive society. We no longer need to develop by killing people from other tribes. This is a civilized society now. In a civilized society, one cannot kill people at will, nor can one do any despicable things for profit. To develop, one must have vision." Mu Chi Ningyun explained earnestly.
"Shut up! You are my daughter, and you have no right to talk about vision with me. Quickly agree to the Western multinational corporations' request to transport the rare earth elements, otherwise, Chen Feng will be killed by the people I sent within an hour!" The tribal chief threatened Mu Chi Ningyun.
