The engineering work would take at least three months to complete. Ye Tian handed over the remaining matters to Ye Shaodong.
In the afternoon, Ye Tian began refining Blood Yuan Pills using the wooden stake and He Shou Wu. He completed four furnaces, with six pills per furnace, totaling twenty-four pills.
He gave ten pills to Li Yuankun and ten to Guang Ji.
After staying another night at Ye Tian's house, Li Yuankun and Guang Ji bid farewell the next day, as they had other matters to attend to and could not stay longer.
After seeing the two off, Ye Tian went to the Chinese Medicine Hospital in the morning to treat patients with difficult illnesses. In the afternoon, he visited the first hospital in Haicheng to check on the situation at the Bai Caoku clinic.
The doctors in the department, using the methods he taught, had admitted thirteen poisoned patients in just a few days. All patients were currently in good condition, and his treatment plan was proving extremely effective!
Upon learning of Ye Tian's arrival, Dean He Shaonian hurried over to meet him and said with a smile, "Director Ye, our clinic has been recognized by the state as a 'National Key Bai Caoku Treatment Research Unit.' The state has allocated fifteen million yuan to assist us in establishing a professional treatment center. If we achieve results, the state will provide further substantial support. By the way, some major hospitals in other provinces are contacting us, hoping to send their most outstanding doctors to our hospital to learn our advanced treatment protocols."
Ye Tian replied, "This is good news. Once they learn, they can save more patients."
He Shaonian nodded with a smile, "Indeed. Although our advantage will gradually diminish, our hospital's reputation will also grow. Furthermore, securing research funding in the future will not be difficult."
Ye Tian said, "You handle the rest of the matters. I'll come by when I have time."
He Shaonian then asked, "Oh, Director Ye, do you remember that provincial deputy's wife from last time?"
Ye Tian recalled that the provincial deputy's wife had been gravely ill, and he had predicted she wouldn't live for another week. He asked, "What happened? Hasn't she passed away yet?"
He Shaonian replied, "She passed away last week. I heard she died in the capital."
Ye Tian remarked, "As expected."
He Shaonian continued, "The provincial deputy sent a secretary the day before yesterday to get your phone number. Has he contacted you, Director Ye?"
Ye Tian asked, "No. Why would the provincial deputy want my phone number?"
He Shaonian said, "I'm not sure."
Ye Tian didn't give it much thought. He checked on all the patients and, seeing no issues, left.
As soon as he got into his car, Lin Ziyi called. "Tian Ge, can you pick me up from work?"
Ye Tian replied, "Sure, I'm just finishing up. I'll be right there to pick you up."
Lin Ziyi said, "Come to my place for dinner. My mom made a lot of dishes and asked me to invite you over."
Ye Tian agreed, "Okay."
He then drove to Lin Ziyi's company to pick her up. While parking to wait for Lin Ziyi, he received a call from an unknown number. He answered, and a middle-aged man's voice came through.
"Is this Director Ye?"
Ye Tian replied, "It is. Who is this?"
The other person said, "I am Yu Qingjiang, Secretary to the Provincial Deputy of Lu Province."
Ye Tian said, "I heard. Is there something you need?"
Yu Qingjiang was silent for a moment before asking, "Can Director Ye come to the provincial capital?"
Ye Tian asked, "Is the Provincial Deputy of Lu Province looking to see me?"
Yu Qingjiang confirmed, "Yes. The Provincial Deputy wishes to invite you to his home to show you some things."
Ye Tian's heart stirred. "Are these things related to the Provincial Deputy's wife?"
Yu Qingjiang remained silent for a few more seconds. "Yes."
Ye Tian stated, "Please convey to the Provincial Deputy that I have no interest in such matters!" With that, he hung up the phone.
Just then, Lin Ziyi arrived. She asked with a smile, "Who were you talking to on the phone?"
Ye Tian smiled and replied, "A friend. Ziyi, shall we head home now?"
Lin Ziyi nodded, "Yes, Mom and Dad are waiting for us."
As the car pulled out of the parking lot, Yu Qingjiang's call came again. Ye Tian considered it for a moment before answering once more.
Yu Qingjiang's voice echoed in the car, "Director Ye, if you don't come, the Provincial Deputy might go mad! Just yesterday, the Provincial Deputy's son went insane!"
